@kim jongin How can I forget about the taste? That's the pro status you have, talking for you. /makes a face in secrecy; taking the shot and listening to you, letting out a soft laugh.
So basically, they're still the same?
/smiles a bit as I shook my head, not sure as to why I was so concerned about them as well, the only news they ever brought to me was bad anyway. You sound pretty busy though? /looks at my empty shot glass and surprises myself by pouring me another when the topic was directed back on me.
Maybe I should take the entire bottle?
/mumbles to myself; closing my eyes and tapping my cheek with my nails as I gazed out at nothing really, not knowing where to start.
Hear what, Jongin? That I've been doing good ever since you left, and that I'm happy? Do you want to hear that to help soothe any regret you may feel? /mumbles out as I reach for the bottle and poured my own glass, downing it seconds later and reaching to pour me another glass; face getting flushed from the alcohol spreading throughout my system.
Should I lie? Should I pretend because I don't know anymore? I've been pretending so much that I think it's real... I've been lying so much about my happiness, that I don't know if I'm being sad or... /trails off; letting you get the picture. But I've been working. I've been working so much and so hard because I have to pay these bills, I have to help my mom. My family. I have to do so much and I always seem to shut others down because of it.
/shakes my head as a sad smile sit on my lips.
I'm just tired, Jongin. I'm just really tired, but I can't say this. I can't make my mom worry, I can't slip up and let my brothers go back into the system; I just can't...

CHUNJI RULES!

@park hyomin /smiles as i hear you. same here- drinking is really ain't my thing tho i have a good alcohol tolerance. /laughs and nods; raising up my glass of brandy and taking a sip on it. i'd rather stay at home and you know- do my thing?

I am still painting flowers for you.

SPAM!

@kim hyuna *watches you with your drink while tapping his fingers against the counter, chuckling when seeing your face scrunched up which makes him pour you another glass from his bottle along with his*
*pushes the bottle to the side and sips on his glass, watching you from the corner of his eye and still talking to you*
Drink up. Just forget about the taste.
*avoids the topic of you not being able to tell much about him to your family, instead thinking of his and sighing at this before finishing his drink*
That family? Ah confusing as ever. My dad and his wife were freaking out my step sister running away, for now.
*shrugs his shoulders when thinking about his mother and pours himself another glass instead despite pushing the bottle away earlier*
Mom? Her and her husband are okay I guess. Besides you don't have to ask about my family, they're a bunch of s. Why be cordial to them?
*raises a brow at you and returns his attention back to his drink, finishing it again*
I don't want to think about them. I want to hear more about you.

@kim jongin Well, surprises can be a good thing, right?
/trails off with uncertainty slipping in my voice, but I quickly played it off by clearing my throat and reaching for my drink, chugging it down with ease at first - but my face scrunched up at the bitter taste seconds later.
Oh god, I'm still not used to this.
/laughs a bit and tries my best to not avoid the topic any longer when it came to my family; a sensitive topic.
Uh, everything is... I'm trying to make everything better, nothing to worry about. I have faith so, it's going to be fine. They ask about you here and there, but I can only say so much... Ya know?
/mumbles a bit as I called over one of the waiters to refill my glass, as I kept my gaze there.
You know, your family never really liked me. And even if I know that, I still feel the need to ask how's everything going for you and them?

@kim hyuna *dips the tip of his pinky into his drink and tastes it before chugging down it in one swift motion, then places the empty glass on the counter with louder sound than intended*
*turns his head to you with an amused grin when hearing you not being with anyone, resting his arm on the table*
I'm gonna say, I'm surprised by you not having a date tonight. Besides there's no one special here tonight.
*crooks his head before shrugging his shoulders, thinking about his restaurant while pouring himself another glass and stealing a small sip from it*
Besides I'm pretty sure any girl around me wouldn't be considered lucky. Ask the waitress I just fired a few hours ago.
*shakes his head with a faint, but somewhat bitter, laugh when looking into his drink once more*
I don't know how you dealt with me back then. Still, it's been awhile.
*puts on a small smile before returning his attention back to you again*
How's your family? I've been meaning to stop by, but wasn't sure if it would be okay.

@kim jongin I see, I see. I can say the same.
/mumbles a bit, rubbing my temples and clicking my tongue as I thought about that partial life, everything wasn't fine, the only thing I could relate to was 'surviving' and putting money on the table for my family, and paying off my mother's medical bills.
You think so? Thanks, though I'm not here for anyone or anything special, just wanted to change up my routine. You normally wouldn't fine me here. /chuckles and takes the drink as I nibbled on my bottom lip and finally gazed up at you, obviously admiring the sight that was given, but really, hadn't you always look this handsome and well-dressed, even when we were kids?
I could say the same about you. You were always the type that could pick up girls with and without knowing. /chuckles a bit and ease into my seat more, enjoying the fact that there was no tension between us for the time being. So, who's the lucky girl?

@dong youngbae *glances up at her friend when he leaves to talk to some other people, but still listening to you; then turns her head to you and chuckles softly*
Yeah, everytime I go out with them it's for this.
*holds her beer up slightly and then puts it down again on the counter*
I could do this at home, but I guess I don't want to look boring to them.

@park hyomin /takes a sip of my drink; constantly smiling and nodding to my buddies that were enjoying their time talking, drinking and checking out girls; looks around the place so i could find something interesting; shrugs when i wasn't able to do so and just plays with the glass of brandy i am holding; looks up when my buddy tapped my shoulder and introduced me to a girl who happens to sit next to us. pleasure's all mine hyomin-ssi. /shakes hand with you. you look bored, same as mine. never find bars and pubs really fancy huh? /chuckles and nods.

@dong youngbae *walks inside the bar with her friends after a movie night and scrunches her face when they make a bet about how many shots she can drink until getting drunk; then sits down on a stool and asks for a beer, deciding not to join their stupid game*
*chats with one of her girl friends, listening to how miserable her life is and for a moment there, she regrets leaving her house to go out with them*
*taking another sip of her beer, she is poked in the arm by another friend of hers and even though you're right behind him, she doesn't notice your presence*
*he then introduces you to her, saying your name is Youngbae and that you two know each other for a couple of years now*
*looks up at you and with a smile, holds her hand out for a handshake*
Park Hyomin. It's a nice to meet you, Youngbae.

@kim hyuna *takes his original seat at the end of the bar and rests his side against the wall, pulling the article more towards him while watching you*
Oh yeah... it's been awhile. Things have been-
*takes a glance down at the article and decides to fold it up, shoving it into his back pocket before resting his forearms on the counter and shrugging his shoulders*
Things have been fine, I guess. Surviving in this world, working. What about yourself?
*stares at the counter for a moment and pours himself a glass of the crown royal, then stops and puts the bottle down to reach over the barrier for your glass as some thoughts linger but doesn't voice them*
*finishes pouring his glass then yours, pushing the filled drink to you and eyeing you for a moment*
You look nice tonight. Here for a date?

@kim jongin /flushing in embarrassment and slight anger when those douches were brought up again, I furiously shook my head and did my best to clean off the stain that didn’t plan on drying anytime soon.
I would never be associated with fools like them.
/mumbles as I throw the bickering 'couple' a hard glare, before looking over at you once more. I didn't exactly expect to see you here either, it's been awhile.
/trails off, grabbing the napkins and placing them on the counter as I readjusted my shirt and soon the stool that was knocked down in the little fight earlier - I decided sitting beside you wouldn't hurt, or catching up as well, there was neither ill nor feelings of excitement left in me; mostly confusion, pain and curiosity.
How have you... How have you been, Jongin?

@kim hyuna *barely pays attention to anyone else in the bar and pours himself a shot, tapping his fingers against the rim before pulling out a newspaper and reading his restaurant's review there*
*mumbles to himself when circling different parts of the article, making notes to it about what to do with the restaurant, then stops when feeling someone bump against him and bites on the inside of his cheek to calm down*
*turns to your direction, ready to say something, but stops when seeing you and stares at first unsure what to say for a couple of seconds*
Hyuna?
*grabs a napkin from the side and gives it to you to clean yourself up,then crooks his head when noticing the two men near you*
Are you okay? Do you know these people?

@kim jongin /slips my hands out of my pockets and makes my way inside of the bar; pursing my lips as I stumbled a bit from my shoes, my fingers tapping against the money in my pockets as I gazed around the crowded bar, instantly regretting the decision in coming here tonight.
/as soon as I make it towards the counter, I sat there and ordered a few shots, ignoring the pestering two males that were pushing each other beside me, though I felt uncomfortable; and as if my guess was right, the older male pushed the young latter into me and knock me out of my chair, and made me hit another person that was sitting beside me in the process. What the hell?!
/groans, getting up and grabbing a few napkins to do my best to clean off the stain that was left on my pants legs, but I looked over at you; realizing you were hit in the process, and your face hitting a few memories from far back. Jongin…

BOMIE SPAMMING THIS~

Omg...
what was I thinking...
*sighs*
*gulps down vodka*

*mixes all types of alcohol and get wasted*

@lee joon Jieun heard the voice, she side-eyed him only, calmly playing with the tip of her empty glass.
She had a glimpse of him though, but she believed that he was talking to some else. Jieun watched her surrounding; there was the bartender and a lady in her forties sitting right to the man. Thinking that it was not her business, she huffed lightly before digging into her wallet to make her payment.

@lee joon Wearing a heavy make-up for the night, Jieun felt a little secure. It was not her turn for the night, but the main singer could not make it all of a sudden, thus she was called automatically by the manager. Hoots and Wahs, whistles or light grunts, she slipped past by them and maintained her professional manner.
She chose to sing False Hopes, dedicating all her emotions into the song.Softly she started, beautifully she ended.
The crowds cheered as she finished and she bowed lightly in return.
Jieun decided to get a light drink before she ended her shift. She made her way quite easily to the bartender, slipping past few lovebirds, before she reached to take a seat on of the stools.
With a sincere smile, she asked for the usual and the bartender grinned back in return. Jieun felt went dryly, thus she sipped her drink. She began to look around the dimmed-light place in wonder before gulping her drink in one shot.
"Kyaaah~" she exhaled with a wide smile as she put her glass down onto the counter.

@kim hyuna *pats his employee's car as a signal to go before giving a quick wave, taking a deep breath and closing his eyes when dragging himself into the bar*
*looks around the joint and finds an empty spot at the end of the counter, taking his seat there and resting his head against his hand while spinning the small plastic holder in front of him*
*finally stops his spinning and holds it by the corner before calling a bartender over, ordering himself a bottle of crown royal*
