“i’ve got to tell you,” jin-woo says as he enters the establishment with rita. “i don’t really drink? so i might have like, one beer,” he says, looking around the room and taking in it’s contents. no, this bar was not a place jin visited. “but i’ll stay as long as you like, of course!”

“you don’t?” she eyes him up curiously. “strange, considering your current situation i was expecting you to drown your sorrows away.” she states casually as she pulls him over to an empty table, seating herself down. “as much as i am fond of your golden heart, you are far too kind for your own good, my dear.” her tone is almost bitter, once remembering a time where she had all the love to give in her heart. “two beers, please.” she glances up at the waiter to order their drinks.

instead of responding, romeo just kept smirking. once he was satisfied that he was dry enough ( well dry enough to stay here until the rain got better and he could run home ), he put the towel down and faced who he was talking to. romeo smiled. “anytime you want. you could do it tomorrow, one week, two weeks, 3 months, a year whatever. although i wouldn’t recommend now since it’s really coming down.”

she tilts her head to the side as she examines his expression, finding herself falling for it. “you have a dangerous smile.” she thinks out loud, her cheeks taking on a rosy hue at her own words. “i’m free tomorrow, if you are.” she suggests with a small shrug, trying not to seem too eager. it’s been awhile since she’s gone out with someone. “besides, i wouldn’t want to keep you waiting.”

                    “ the fun is in being a good friend, definitely. ” he was only teasing, of course. rita was truly a darling friend. a lot better than most, so he really couldn’t complain. “ you might keep me around just because i’m so handsome, how would i know ?? ” the playful banter was met with a shrug of nonchalant, as it it really were a mystery. “ wait–those are MOVIES ?? i swear those ideas all sprouted from my romance bone. i’ve never seen a movie in my LIFE. ” matty really wasn’t as funny as he thought he was, but that didn’t stop him from trying. 

“being good is so boring.” she rolls her eyes with a laugh. “well, you may be right. i’m incredibly shallow.” she gives a playful wink. while she wasn’t shallow, she couldn’t help but appreciate a good-looking guy, which definitely applied to matty. “your romance bone? someone might consider that to be dirty, my dear friend.” she waves her finger at him in a disapproving matter but her laughter gave away any seriousness in her voice. “how about a nice picnic? i always loved those.” for once, she was giving a useful answer.

giselle: you make a valid point but whenever i'm in my apartment i don't stop thinking about work or other boring shit

giselle: you might be onto something though

giselle: how do you train yourself to have a good time

rita: once you've knocked back a couple of glasses it's easy to forget about work. switching off your phone helps too

rita: you should hit up a couple of bars, it's a good way to start.

as always, rita looked tired; exhausted, even. hell, nina would be, too, if she had her job. running drink orders here and there all night could be hard on the legs, but she couldn’t deal with a job that was hard on the brain. and nina doesn’t tend to exercise her brain nearly as much as she should (school wasn’t her favorite place, let’s just say that), so needless to say, she gave rita props for her capability to handle all of that. a simple nod was delivered in the woman’s direction and nina went straight to her favorite bottle of whiskey, pouring double into each glass, and sent it off to rita, passing it her way. it didn’t take long for her to take a swig of her own, earning her a stare from a man sitting about five seats down. not that she cared. “rough day on the job?” she asked, resting her elbows on the counter.

“beyond rough.” she sighs heavily as she picks up her drink and swirls the liquid around in the glass for a moment before taking a sip. “but i made it here alive, so all is well.” even rita didn’t like to be too dramatic, at times, she didn’t like showing any signs of weakness. “i imagine you deal with the same amount of utter morons i do.” she all but rolls her eyes as she glances around the room. “truthfully, if i had your job -- i may just pick up a bottle and smash it over someone’s head.” given her career choice she should be opposed to violence but her morals weren’t exactly the best. “i admire you, honestly.”

                   “ rita–if you can’t answer you KNOW that means you think i am. you were supposed to say no and make me feel better about myself. bad friend !! ” he accused, brows furrowing as he pointed his index finger in her direction. “ it’s not dating advice, exactly. it’s LADY advice that just so happens to be about a date. totally different stuff. ” matty assured her with a nod and a playful wink. “ a cliche romantic gesture–i see. ” he nodded slowly, eyes narrowing as if he were taking a mental note of this conversation. “ should i stand outside her window with a giant boombox or move away and send her letters every day for a year while i build a sweet ass house and then convince her to leave her new man and come live with me ?? ”

“where’s the fun in giving you a proper answer?” she questions him with an amused grin. “besides, my presence proves you’re not boring. if you were, i wouldn’t waste my time with you.” she simply shrugs her shoulders. that was partially the truth. “well, a boombox may get you a noise complaint.” she crosses her legs as she’s suddenly lost in her own train of thought. “and that whole love letter nonsense and...a house is just asking for a restraining order--” she pauses suddenly, frowning as she realises her mistakes. “those are romantic movies, aren’t they? here i thought you may actually be deranged enough to do such a thing.”

romeo raised an eyebrow at the comment and laughed. “well then someday i’ll give them a show.” he winked. “but not today.” he grabbed the paper towels and attempted to dry himself. “no point i’m way too wet for paper towels” rome muttered but mostly to himself but perked up again at seeing the female blush. “why not? you’re a pretty girl and i got you all drenched so it all works out.”

“such a tease.” she remarks playful as she watches his attempts to get dry, chuckling to herself softly. his comments seem to constantly catch her off guard, causing her to act off-character. the dating scene was still such a foreign concept to her, especially considering she spent a large portion of her adult life with one person. “well, lucky me i suppose.” she chuckles bashfully. “when and where? or is this a spontaneous outing?”

Gin, vodka, or tequila?

“vodka, most definitely. i lost the taste for tequila during my first frat party.”

romeo sighed as he shook his head like a wild dog which was needed considering he just got out of the rain. “sorry about that.” he gave one his certified playboy smiles. “always gotta look good.” he scribbled his name and number on same paper and offered it to the nearest person. “can i offer you dinner at least? as a sorry?”

“oh i’m sure someone would swoon at the sight of you drenched in rain.” she chimed in with a soft laugh, simply shaking her head. she raises her brows as he slides the paper towards her, giving a puzzled look as she hesitantly picks it up. “dinner? as an apology?” needless to say she felt slightly confused and incredibly flustered. “if you insist, I suppose.”

connor looks up at her as he takes a sip from his glass. “only half?” he questions, eyebrows raising slightly. he knew exactly the type of people rita worked with. none of them seemed to be competent. not in his eyes, anyway. rita was probably the only attorney he knew that was good at their job. not that he’d ever admit it out loud. “i got shot at twice today, so you know. just an average day at the office.”

“i am trying to be nice here.” she laughs softly as she picks up her drink, tipping the glass to her lips. “only twice?” she raises an eyebrow at him in a teasing manner. it was only natural for her to poke fun, especially when she felt comfortable around someone. “do you have any bullet wounds? now that i would love to see.” she was only being half-serious, she couldn’t help but be nosy. “I do hope you are being relatively safe, though. i’m not in the market for another drinking buddy just yet.”

                    “ hey–do you think i’m boring ?? ”  he asked, brows raising slightly. the question seemed to come out of nowhere, but–he’d been quiet the past few moments, mulling over the thought in his head. still pretty out of the blue, though. “ not to be gross, but i kinda want to plan something fun for like a cool date night. and you’re a GIRL, right ?? what do girls like to do ?? i’m trying to stay AWAY from just going to baseball games and stuff, ‘cause–i think that gets boring after a while if you aren’t really into baseball, right ?? also, don’t tell anyone i’m asking you this. if people knew i wasn’t mad suave, they’d probably lose their minds. ”

“do i think you’re boring?” she repeats his question as she taps her chin in thought. “i’ll have to get back to you on that one.” she teases with a playful grin. where’s the fun in giving a straightforward answer. “yes, i do happen to be female.” she tilts her head to the side curiously as she thinks, seriously, for a moment. “i’m not exactly the best person to ask about dating advice but...” she sighs softly as she pasues once more. “i think a romantic gesture would be the best possible solution. you see -- it gives off the impression that you care.” of course, she was going to go down a logical route as if this were a court case. “candle lit dinner, a bouquet of flowers perhaps. i know it’s cliche but it works for a reason, no?”
