After a day full of stress and fatigue at the office, I longed for a place that could offer me comfort and relaxation. So, as I often do, I went to my favorite bar, which had become like a second home to me. "Shadow Lounge", the familiar bar.

I sat down on a high chair and put my work bag on the floor. "Hey Jung!" Choi San, the bar owner, casually came over to me and polished off a glass. "What'll it be?" I raised my hand and rubbed my forehead. "The same as always." He nodded and began to make my drink.

The bottles clinking rhythmically as he poured the ingredients into the shaker and mixed them with an elegant flourish. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a few women admiring San and looking over at him with smiles. I rolled my eyes slightly, annoyed by their obvious admiration. And if I told San that, he would probably say, "Me? No, women don't look at me. I'm not that attractive".

With a deft touch, San served me my drink, and just as he placed it on the counter, a woman next to me asked him for his number. A smile played around his lips as he politely declined. "I apologize, but I'm already taken," he explained gently. The woman smiled sheepishly and accepted his answer with an understanding nod. "Oh, I'm sorry about that. Too bad, your girlfriend is lucky though!"

We exchanged a brief but meaningful glance, signaling a silent understanding between us. A mischievous smirk played around my lips as I realized that San had only used his supposed "I'm already taken" number as a way out of the situation to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

It was a small but effective tactic that allowed him to politely decline without having to explain further. Our eyes spoke for us, and I could see an amused twinkle in San's eye that told me he knew exactly what he was doing.

"And how was work?" It was actually good, to be honest, I just found it a bit shitty that my best friend had turned his back on me. He hadn't met up with me since he started seeing someone from the company. And now I was alone.

"As always," I mumbled as I slowly sipped my glass and let my gaze wander into the distance. San noticed immediately that something was wrong with me. He was always the one who recognized the subtle nuances of my mood. He was like the bar's therapist and a pro when it came to talking to others. In moments like these, he was my rock. I could trust him with anything and he knew me better than most.

"My best friend," I sighed, and San immediately replied, "Yeosang?" I nodded . "Yes, him exactly! Jongho, someone from another department, and he are now dating. I'm actually happy for them, but now I feel alone. I might even be a little... jealous?" San listened quietly and tilted his head in understanding as he carefully considered my words.

"You're straight, aren't you?" San asked with a hint of concern in his voice as he looked at me intently. I felt his gaze resting on me and my insecurity intensified. I swallowed hard and tried to put my feelings into words. "Yes, but... it doesn't matter," I began hesitantly.

"I just thought he wouldn't find anyone. It's not easy to meet someone when you're gay, is it?" My words came haltingly, and I suddenly felt insecure in my own skin. "Now they spend every break together, and.... and I feel like I've lost him. I was able to be there for him in the past, but now... now I don't know where I stand anymore. Now it seems like he's so...I don't know." I lowered my eyes, unable to look San in the eye as I spoke my thoughts.
