hotel

@Park Jimin //a nervous chuckle escapes me thanks to your seemingly suspicious attitude/
Yeah, well, try telling him that.
He thinks if I work hard enough, I'll be given the spot.
//finishes off my beer/
He's not a man to argue with.

@Cha Hakyeon -tucks in my lips and nods at your question. makes a tsk sound and looks at you again, slightly puzzled by your words.-
He's a warden, and he wants you to take his position?
-takes the last and final drink in my mug of whisky, sliding the empty container across the counter toward the bartender before focusing on our conversation again-
He does realize that's not guaranteed to happen, doesn't he?
As far as I know, warden's don't really work in terms of...bloodline succession.
I mean, it's not like he owns the prison and can make that decision, right?

[]dkavnldanwo I'm sorry ;A; I actually don't know anything about prison hierarchy or if you even want it to be realistic.. if this is a bad response, I can do it again ;A;

@Park Jimin //smiles softly as you get shy and turn away/
It's more like...
He's the warden, and he wants me to take over his position someday.
//sighs a little/
It's no my ideal line of work, but it's better than disappointing him.

@Cha Hakyeon -tries to hold eye contact with you while i talk, but my nervous nature takes over, and i look away-
I- I guess it does.
-now that you’re turned away from me, i grip my whisky glass with both hands, tapping my fingers on the side, and looking into the liquid-
You wish?
Is your father a prison guard too? Or was it his dream to become one?
-I couldn’t imagine someone having that kind of a dream for themselves, but who was i to judge?-

@Park Jimin //nods slightly, looking back into your eyes, my lips quirking up into a soft smile as I listen to you/
That's not strange.
You had different interests than your father, and you went for what interested you the most.
//takes another drink of my beer, not making a face this time, but turns away from you to face the wall of liquor behind the bar, taking another drink and setting the bottle down with a sigh/
That takes courage.
I wish I had some of that.

@Cha Hakyeon []stalkers, just so you know, we talked about a career change for Jimin because I didn’t want to be a VFX artist lmao, so don’t get confused

How did I get into hacking?
-my eyes shift a little, an attempt to make eye contact-
It’s strange, honestly.
My father is a lawyer, and that’s what he wanted me to be when I grew up.
He kept drilling law studies into my head when I was younger, so I really hated it.
-chuckles softly, and i raise my head from my hand and take another drink of my whisky-
I always liked math, more, and I got into programming when I introduced to it in university.
I really enjoyed it and picked it up quickly.
I got an internship working in cyber security, and that’s how it happened.

@Park Jimin No, I didn't mean..
//shakes my head instead of arguing with you about my intentions, and offers a soft laugh at your comment/
That is a plus. Paperwork .
//takes another sip of my beer and looks at you/
So, how did you get into VFX? If you don't mind my asking.

@Cha Hakyeon -chuckles at your scrunched face and take a big drink of my whisky. my jaw drops, offended at your tone as you ask your question-
What? Are you presuming that being a VFX artist can't come with it's stories?
-taps the side of my glass and tucks my lips in thought. breaks into a small frown as I can't come up with anything-
Yeah. I got nothing. But the job doesn't require much paper work, so that's a plus.
-my eyes practically disappear as a cheeky grin spreads across my face-

@Park Jimin //smiles softly as you confirm that you're the person that I was looking for, and pays for the drinks after the bartender makes them and hands them over to us/
//listens to your question and nods slightly/
Well, yeah.
If the inmates get into a fight and someone gets injured, it's a lot of paperwork.
It starts with me and goes up the ladder.
//takes a sip of my beer, scrunching my face at the bitter taste and sets the bottle back on the counter/
What about you?Anything interesting ever happen as a...what was it? VFX artist?

@Cha Hakyeon -a little jump jolts through my body as you approach and say something, half expecting you not to show up at all (previous online dating experiences leading me to have such assumptions). turns to you with a soft smile, seriously regretting not putting more effort into my appearance because damn...how did I manage to score a date with someone like you-
Hi.
-a breathless sigh escapes me-
Oh, yes. I'm Jimin.
-my attention turns back to the bartender, dismissing the first thing you said as you give me the cue to order, ordering an irish cream for myself, and then goes back to the first thing you said-
You had to take care of things?
-recalls back to reading about your job on your profile-
What exactly does a prison guard take care of?
Fights with the inmates?

@Park Jimin //casually walk up to the bar. spotting you is easy enough, considering I've already seen your photos online and have a rough idea of what you might look like./
//take the free seat next to you, assuming that you must have saved it for me. a cutie like you would have had many people offer to buy him drinks. offers an apologetic smile for being so late/
Hi, Jimin, right?
Sorry I took so long. I had a few things to take care of at work.
//calls the bartender over and orders a beer for myself/
Get whatever you want. It's on me.

@Cha Hakyeon -shows up at the hotel, dressed in an almost formal (but not quite) suit, unsure of the dress cod of the bar. frowns to see that I'm the first one to arrive, and takes a seat at the bar. the bartender eventually comes over to ask if I want anything to drink, but I refuse, wanting to make sure you show up first. Someone's going to need to pay for it, and it won't be me. Not after having to wait-
