"Excuse me what?"
She sighed.
"Look, I just...don't think this will work anymore."
Heeseung scoffed.
"No, no, no, no!You're kidding.You can't leave me, Miyen."
"I'm sorry." She muttered as she lowered her head.
"Tell me the reason."
"W-what?"
"Why? Our relationship has always been going so well so why are you breaking up with me all of a sudden?"
"I..."
"Is it because of that new guy in your class?What was his name?Eunseok right?Is he the reason?"
She bit her lips, not being able to say anything.
He let out a chuckle.
"I see.So, you're going to replace me with that guy."
"Heeseung, it's not-"
"Since when?"
"W-what?"
"Since when did you start to like him?"
"I..."
Heeseung let out a chuckle.
"So, all those times you said you were busy, you were hanging out with him. Weren't you?"
She bit her lips again.Heeseung nodded.
"Fine then. I'm done with this."He said firmly standing up and walking away from her.
"I'm done with this."
* * * * *
"I'm sorry.We're not really in need of new employees at the moment."
"Oh...okay.Thank you for your time."
Sunghoon said before bowing and walking out of the restaurant.
He sat down on a nearby bench and sighed, looking up at the sky.
"What am I supposed to do?" he muttered underneath his breath.
Suddenly he saw a paper that was laying on the ground.He picked it up and noticed it was a flyer.
'NOW HIRING:Bartender at the Blacklist Bar.
Contact:+82-000-000 for more details.
Or go directly at the address written below.'
His eyes widened as he felt his heart become more excited.
"This is it!" he exclaimed.
He looked at the address of the bar.He grabbed his bag from the bench and immediately made his way to the bar.
He gripped the paper in his hand as he stood in front of the bar.He approached the guard in the entrance.
"Hello...can you tell me where to inquire for the Bartender job?I heard this bar was looking for a new employee."
He glanced at the paper Sunghoon was holding.Before looking back at him.
"You'll see a bar area immediately right after you enter this place and just ask around the employees there and they'll be the one to guide you."
Sunghoon nodded.
"Thank you."
As Sunghoon was about to go inside,the guard suddenly spoke up again.
"Oh, and good luck once you land on that job.Some people can be reeaally tough when it comes to ordering drinks. You might wanna watch out from those people."
Sunghoon shrugged.He doesn't have a choice anyway.He needs to live.
Sunghoon went inside and made his way to the nearest bar area. There was a bartender right there.He probably thought Sunghoon was some random customer.
"Hey, I've never seen you before here. What do you want? Whiskey? Gin? Tell me baby." He said as he gave Sunghoon a wink.
"Uh...I actually came here to inquire for the bartender job?I heard this bar is looking for someone to hire."
He then noticed the flyer on Sunghoon's hand.
"Oh..Okay then, come on.I'll lead you the way."
Sunghoon nodded and followed him.
"I'm Sunoo by the way, Kim Sunoo."
'Kim Sunoo? Where have I heard that name before?'
"I'm Sunghoon, Park Sunghoon."
Sunoo suddenly stopped walking, looking at Sunghoon as he blinks his eyes.
"Park Sunghoon?"
"Um... yeah?"
"Haha!No wonder you seemed familiar!"
"Do we know each other?"
"Dude,we're classmates!"
Sunghoon thought for a moment.
'Kim Sunoo...Kim Sunoo...Kim Sunoo? Kim Sunoo!'
"Ah! You're that guy!"
"What guy?"
"The one who's always absent!"
"Yeah! You remembered my name!"
They were both laughing but then Sunghoon stopped and looked at Sunoo.
"Why are you always absent?"
"Oh, well...I'm focusing more on my job these past few weeks."
"Are you short on money as well?"
"What?Oh no, no.I'm doing fine financially.I just want to save up more."
"Oh, lucky for you then."
"How about you? Why did you suddenly want to apply for this job?"
"I got kicked out of the cafe I was working in and it was literally the only thing that was keeping me alive."
"Oh, that's unfortunate."
"It really is."
After a few more moments of walking.They finally arrived at a door where Sunghoon was supposed to go in.
"Anyway, this is where we part for now.I hope you get the job.I'm looking forward to working with you,pretty boy." He said with a wink.
Sunghoon chuckled, "Yeah sure."
Sunoo walked away and that's when Sunghoon knocked on the door before opening it, meeting up with a woman in her 30's.
"You lost kid?The restroom is right-"
"Oh no, no. I'm not looking for the restroom. I'm actually here for the bartender job?" Sunghoon said as he held out the paper.
"Oh!Okay, then.Take a seat."
Sunghoon took a seat in front of her as she held a pen and a paper, putting it on the table.
"Name?"
"Park Sunghoon."
"Age?"
"19."
"Are you still in High School?"
"Yes, it's my last year."
"Any previous jobs?"
"I worked at a cafe not so long ago."
"Oh okay. Well then, Sunghoon, when can you start?"
"I-um...I can start today, I guess?"
"Okay then, you're hired. The time now is..." She paused to look at her watch.
"4:45 pm so your shift is until 8:30 pm for today.Would that be alright?"
"Yes."
"Now that you're officially hired.Your day offs would be every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.Your shift would be from 5 pm to 8:30 pm. For Sunday, your shift will be from 8 am to 3 pm."
"Understood."
She then put out a clothing from under the table and handed it to Sunghoon.
"This will be your uniform, change into it whenever you're working.Your bar area is the one at the very corner of this place.Good luck."
Sunghoon nodded,"Yes Ma'am."
Sunghoon went to the restroom to change into his bartender uniform and went to his assigned bar area and started making some drinks until a customer finally came in his area.
Sunghoon probably wouldn't have any problems with this new job since he was a very curious kid when he was young and this is one of the few things he has learnt Besides, he also know a lot of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks since his curiosity has brought his uncle to tell him all about it.
"I would like to get a whiskey please, any kind, just not too strong."
"One whiskey, coming right up!"
* * * * *
"Yah Hee-ah! You're drinking too much! Come on! I don't want to carry you all the way home!" Ni-ki whined as he and Jay tried to get Heeseung's glass away from his hand.
Heeseung was getting dizzy as he held on to his drink, eyes closely shutting. "No~ I want to drink more!"
"Aish! Just forget about her! She's not worth it anyway!"
"No! Miyen has always been important to me! How can I forget her?! How could she replace me with someone else?!"
"Exactly! Now put down your glass or we're gonna have a hard time taking you home!"
"NO! I can't accept this! I have to get her back! She has to be mine! Mine only!"
"Heeseung what can you do if she's already in love with someone else?! Are you going to force her? You know that's not the right way!"
Heeseung opened his mouth to speak but no words came out.He put his glass on the table and laid on the couch comfortably as he scoffed.
"Stupid girl." Heeseung muttered.
Jay and Ni-ki looked at each other and sighed.Taking away the shot glasses around them. Heeseung looked around the bar and nothing could be seen but flashing colorful lights and people dancing...until his eyes landed on a certain bar area.The bartender looked so familiar until Heeseung realized who he was.
Heeseung nudged Jay who was currently putting away the glasses.
"What?" Jay asked.
Heeseung pointed at the bartender,
"Isn't he the one from our school?"
His eyes landed on the person Heeseung was pointing to.
"Oh.Yeah he is."
"What's his name?" He asked.
"Hm...as far as I remember...was it Sunghoon?" Jay uncertainly said.
"Park Sunghoon." Ni-ki said.
"Park Sunghoon..."Heeseung muttered as a smirk form on his lips.
"Oh no, Lee Heeseung. What are you planning?" Ni-ki asked.
He scoffed, "Relax, I was just asking a question." He said.
'Park Sunghoon it is.'
