Gay Cocktail Hour starter for @nixus-nitor ft Kijung & Haneul
“Use a coaster, what is this? McDonalds?” Casting an unamused glare at his regular, Kijung quickly wipes at the foamy beer ring on his polished wood bar with a cloth, before slinging it over his shoulder as soon cool pint moves to a waiting coaster and he’s mumbled his apologies. Nestled amongst party-life drag scene karaoke bars and gay nightclubs, Kijung’s bar is a waiting haven for the more sophisticated, older and homely drinker. As the doors swing shut the sounds of busy nightlife of bustling day-city noises are cut off, replaced by soft piano music and usually Kijung’s chatty atmospherics.
Today was like all the others. The spring sun setting across the city, bringing with it a more chilly, mid-week evening as the bar owner tops up his regulars and settles in for what he assumes will be a normal evening. With beer pump clasped in one hand, pint glass in the other, he slowly lowers the bump and sets to filling the glass with amber, frothy beer just as he hears the door open ahead and a hush settle amongst his regulars.
Glancing up Kijung is confused for a moment, before his eyes also stray to the tall form stood in the doorway of his bar, now under the watchful gaze of his silent patrons. The male only clientele caught in wonderment and the gorgeous young thing that had strayed into their midst... or at least Kijung is sure that is what it looks like.
“Ah-” feeling beer flow over his fingers, the owner mutters out a curse as he sees he’d over filled the glass, and quickly lets go of the pump to set it down. “Yah, stop that-” he snaps at the few regulars sat at his bar, ogling the poor newcomer, before he glances back and pulls the towel from his shoulder to dry his hands. “Come on in! Ignore them, they just haven’t seen someone not desperate, old and beer stained in a while!” He jokes with a teasing prod at his regulars, before moving to a part of his bar with a free seat, and motions for him to take a seat. “What can I get you?” He asks, once life had again returned to the bar around them.
