PANDORA'S BOX
10:34 PM, MONDAY
TWO YEARS AGO。

3RD PERSONS VIEW。

"Yah, what are we doing at a place like this? Are you sure there are even bars here?" a girl questioned her friend as they walked down a street barely filled with any people. They weren't in the busy streets of Yongsan-gu where you would mostly find famous bars, instead they were in a street that seemed like there weren't any residences at all.

"Trust me on this one Rina! A friend of mine told me they serve good drinks at this bar."

Rina scoffed, "Doesn't even look like there's a bar anywhere."

"Here!" Rina's friend, Gyuri, exclaimed as she pointed at a place.

"It's a bit underground, see?" Gyuri pointed out as she walked down the slope to the entrance.

"Pandora's Box?" Rina slowly read the signage on the front door.

"Kinda good name for a kinda hidden bar." Rina hummed as she pushed the door open, they were met with a little porch that extends to the actual sliding glass door of the bar.

They looked at each other before grinning and sliding the door open, welcoming theirselves to a whole new world hidden in the quiet streets of Yongsan-gu, Mad City.

"Oh shit, this bar is so old school, it's so retro! I'm digging it." Rina marveled at the interior design as a tall man approached them with a proud smile.

"Welcome to Pandora's Box!" he guides them as they chose to sit by the bar area.

"Are you the head bartender here?" Gyuri questions.

The man chuckles, "Nope."

"Oh? Is that so? Then who is?" Rina raised a brow at the man as he smirked.

He looked towards the employee's room as a woman walks out in a red bartenders uniform. Her nameplate shined as she smiled at her costumers. Next thing they knew, she was standing behind the counter, in front of them.

Their mouths hanged open as they stared at her. "Wah, never thought a girl like her would run a bar."

"I heard that's the famous head bartender."

"I heard her family's really wealthy, but why would she work in a bar?"

"She has a lot of tattoos though."

"Wah, the famous lady in red!"

"Yah, Reginald Young, stop listening to their comments." the head bartender utters as she elbowed her co-worker.

The poor guy yelped as he clutched onto his side, "Y-Yah! I told you, R-E-I-J-I! Reiji! Call me Reiji!"

She chuckled, "Fine then, Reiji." she mocked making Reiji send a glare at her.

"Famous lady in red, what do you think?" Reiji smirked as he passed a glass towards her.

"What's this?" she raises a brow.

"A new drink I made." Reiji informs.

"Background to this?"

"For costumers who are in love." Reiji stated simply, "With the bittersweet taste to it, doesn't it symbolize love itself? Sweet love yet could even be bitter."

She scoffs, "Who are you to talk about love?"

Reiji got flustered, "I have a girlfriend!" he argues.

She lifts up the glass, studying the vibrant colored drink, "Got a name for it?"

"La La Love."

"Oooh, you're getting better at naming." she grins.

The feeling of excitement rushes through him as his eyes brightened up, she rarely compliments anyone unless it's really necessary, "Really?"

"No." his face instantly dropped and all he could do was to deadpan at her as she laughed at him.

"You're gonna get better, that's why I chose you as a bartender for a reason."

"I'm gonna learn from the best, aren't I?" he hummed, "Learning from the lady in red kinda sounds nice."

She scowled, "I'm not the lady in red."

He nods, "Right, that's too boring."

"Ah! I know!"

"What?"

"You're not just a basic lady in red." Reiji shakes his head in disapproval before smirking,

"You're the cherry on top."

DISCLAIMER!

this story may include the use of vulgar and strong foul words. might contain some slightly mature scenes. there would be a lot of violence present throughout the story as it is a mafia au. may also include mentions of death! murder! and a lot of drinking/alcohol!

this book is complete fiction. all of it is made up with my mind, i used a bit of research for other informations. i don't own any of the characters except for the ones i made. i just came up with this after watching cherry bomb at the same time someone bartending hehe and i thought this would suit a mafia theme nct. it's been a long time since i last wrote a mafia ;-;
