a drink for trouble
at the bar waiting for @chrhyerin
it’s not often that yul is desperate for a night out. on top of that, desperate for a night out to drink. but when needed, he can always count on hyerin to accompany him for a night to let go of himself for a moment. except… that’s not what he needs tonight. in fact, what yul’s struggling to do is trying to figure out how to pull himself together.
with a deep exhale, yul takes a look around the bar counter to pick out the bartender at the other end. as soon as he catches the bartender’s attention, he motions for another drink before downing the rest sitting in front of him.
yup.
things were definitely not going well for yul if he was already done with his first drink before hyerin even arrived.
usually patient and calm, yul anxiously checks the time on his phone with a bounce to his leg before taking a sweep around the entire place. his eyes are glued to the entrance for a moment, as if he’s casting a spell that would make hyerin magically walk through the doors. was she running late?
no…. that wouldn’t be it. hyerin would never run late for anything involving alcohol.
as soon as yul hears the *clink* of his order being placed in front of him he turns around to thank the bartender and immediately takes a swig of the dark and bitter drink. while he’s taking a second gulp of the drink, a miniscule part of him lightly panics, reminding himself that it’s only seven pm.
again, yul turns around to see if hyerin’s arrived yet. a sigh of relief leaves his lips as he sees her finally walk through the entrance. he can immediately see a number of heads turn to take a look at her. it’s not a surprise considering the strong aura that hyerin has and the confidence she carries in each stride of her walk towards yul as soon as she spots him.
the panic inside him settles a little once she arrives at the bar and takes a seat next to him.
“thank god you’re here.” yul states before downing another mouthful of his drink. “i’m paying get whatever you want.”
yul hurriedly tells hyerin while he begins tapping a finger anxiously against the rim of his glass cup. he realizes that his leg is bouncing again and quickly stills it, taking a deep breath before turning to hyerin with an exasperated expression.
“hyerin, i don’t know what to do.”
