ji-hun had just finished his classes for the day. between teaching them and actually taking classes he was exhausted. being a vocal coach could be exhausting especially when his medical school took up most his free time. not even meaning to he found himself in the bar. maybe a few drinks wouldn’t hurt right? it’s not like he had class tomorrow. he could get drunk, and then go home and wallow in his feelings. the usual. on his account the bar he decided on was of course the one his best friend worked at. spotting dae behind the counter he grinned. making time for each other could be hard. when they were together though it was double trouble. the two were thick as thieves. poor dae had to pick him up after his parents practically disowned him. then when destiny left him to go too college in a completely different state. his glasses hung low as he took a seat in front of his friend. “so when do you get off handsome i’d love to take you out,” his tone teasing, but the people around them automatically turning their attention to them. embarrass best friend. check. @differcnts

if there was one person who could brighten up a relatively boring shift , it was ji . any of the patrons could have easily noticed how dae’s concentrated expression softened into an easygoing smile as the other approached. “ 15 min - ” he replied automatically - that was , until ji cut him off . dae felt the heat rush to his face as he noticed just how many eyes were trained on them . to an unknowing bystander, his reaction probably made the question seem more realistic than teasing , but ji knew that dae would rather be anywhere than beneath the spotlight ; through his family’s business , he had grown accustomed to being elusive and blending into the background . “ you - you’d love to take me out ? ” he asked incredulously , rubbing the nape of his neck in discomfort . “ does that mean you’re paying for once ? ” suddenly , a lightbulb went off in his head , his sly nature making a surprise visit . “ ‘cause tips haven’t been very good today , i don’t know if i - ” he trailed off , feigning disappointment as he frowned . with his new persona too prideful ( or maybe guilty ) to face anyone , his attention turned towards using a cloth to scrub at the sticky alcohol that had been spilled on the bar throughout his shift . truthfully , tips had been higher than average today and even if they were low , dae had more than enough money to cover whatever it was ji had in mind , but a little fib wouldn’t hurt anybody , right ?
