Yunho skillfully mixes a glass of martini, as requested, for a female customer. They smile in gratitude in his direction and he reciprocates with an awkward tight lipped one.

After over a year of being a bartender it tends to get a bit old. Same thing over and over, day in and day out.

While the party raged on in the other room he just stood there and attended to whoever came up to him requesting another shot of their preferred alcohol.

The occasional drunk coming up to him and flirting. The woman, whom he'd just served, slumps on one of the farther tall stools but close enough where he'd still be able to talk to her. She looked no older than 25, her dark shoulder length hair looked matted and damp. Her black eyeliner was slightly smudged and she looked like she had just been crying.

Yunho was used to seeing people like this show up to the bar, it was practically part of the job. They always looked intoxicated, tired and depressed. Usually he wouldn't pay any attention to them, after all it was none of his business, but he couldn't help but glance at the sad woman as she kept sniffing and taking big sips of her cocktail.

"Rough day?" He asks jokingly while wiping the bar top. She looks at him with a look of surprise before smiling slightly and looking back down at her drink.

"You could say that" She replies somberly.

"Pfft not at rough as mine has been" He retorts and she chuckles lightly before a sad smile falls on her chapped lips.

"I doubt it... I just found out my fiancé is a cheating lying ass hat" She says bluntly then looks up at him with sad eyes.

Yunho just blinked. He wasn't really sure how to reply to that. He couldn't pretend like he knew how she felt because he's only ever been in one relationship before and that lasted a little over a month. She on the other hand was gonna marry the guy and then found out he cheated.

"I was gonna say I bought a pack of eggs today and found out 3 were broken when I got home but you clearly have me beat" He says after a few seconds of silence.

She laughs shortly and brushes her dark hair behind her ear. Yunho just smiles a bit then takes out a bottle of gin, he pours a bit for her in a new glass and she shakes her head and takes his hand to stop him.

"No, I- I can't pay for anymore"

"It's on the house. Trust me, you need it" He replies shortly and she smiles in gratitude. "Just don't tell my manager" He whispers the last part to her and she nods in understanding.

"I never got your name?" She asks curiously.

"That's because I never gave it to you" He says sarcastically and she scoffs.

"Well are you gonna give it to me?"

"Not unless you tell me yours first"

"Hiuna. Your turn"

"Mmm" He says with a thinking face on. "I'll think about it"

"Hey.." She looks at him expectantly and he laughs.

"Aish-- I was only joking. It's Yunho" He says shortly before turning to attend to the older looking man who showed up the bar. After pouring him a drink Yunho turns back to Hiuna who finishes the last drop of her gin and slams the cup down on the bar.

"Well, I've gotta go now. Nice meeting you Yunho" She smiles then gets off the high chair. Yunho salutes jokingly and takes her glass.

"Nice meeting you too. Sorry about your break up" He looks at her apologetically and she just shrugs and hooks her bag strap on her shoulder.

"See ya" And she was gone. Even though their conversation only lasted a little over 5 minutes and he barely knew her he kinda wanted her to keep talking with him despite how visibly upset she looked. He didn't get many conversations like that on the job. Most of the people being too drunk to carry out an actual civilized conversations so it was refreshing speaking with Huina.

A week later, after Yunho had gotten home from work, tired and exhausted, he threw off his shoes and began ripping his clothes off.

He's been fantasizing about the hot bath he was gonna take whilst re-watching his favorite Harry Potter movie: Harry Potter and the goblet of fire, on his laptop, all day. He swings the door open and turns on the tap to start filling up the tub when all of a sudden he hears his phone buzzing from his jacket pocket that layed on his bed. He glances in the direction of the buzz and raises his brow in question.

Who the heck is calling me now? He wonders before taking the object out of the pocket and looking at the caller ID. He couldn't help the long sigh that escapes his lips when he sees who was about to ruin his relaxation.

"What?" He mutters out after picking up the call.

"Are you ready, I'm coming to pick you up right now" Yeosang's chirpy voice replies. Yunho just frowns in confusion. What the hell is he talking about?

"Pick me up for what?"

"You idiot. You forgot didn't you? Anya's birthday party? Today? Does that ring any bells?" The pink haired boy replies with a slightly annoyed tone. Yunho hears someone snicker loudly in the background and he rolls his eyes.

"Is Jongho with you?" He asks and the youngest on the other end of the phone screeches in response. Yunho cringes at the loud sound and draws the phone away from his ear. "Ah- why'd you have to scream?"

"Anyway, hurry up and get ready we're like literally driving into your street" Yeosang cuts in before Jongho had a chance to respond with his own snarky comment.

"Do I have to go?" Yunho whines with a pout as he goes back into his bathroom to unplug the bathtub. He felt his soul leave his body watching all the beautiful warm soapy water drain and slowly decrease. So much for a relaxing bath.

"Yes. Now hurry" With that the line goes dead and Yunho sighs and looks through his closet for some clothes. After he settled on a simple pair of black skinny jeans, a grey turtle neck and black leather jacket he slips on his shoes and heads out the house making sure to lock the door behind him.

He jumps into the back seat of the car and Yeosang drives off. Jongho who was seated into the front seat with the pink head turns back to look at the giant. "You look nice" He says with a teasing smile and Yunho glares at him.

"And you look like wart" He responds with a sickly sweet voice causing Jongho to stick his tongue out at him before looking forward.

"Children let's calm down, we're going to party so it's best to go in a good mood" Yeosang parents and Yunho scoffs loudly in disbelief.

"Bitch, I'm older than you. Plus how am I supposed to be in a good mood when you practically dragged me here?" Yeosang and Jongho just laughs at him like he cracked the funniest joke and Yunho pouts while looking out the window at the night sky.

They arrive at the party and to say Yunho felt uncomfortable would be an understatement which is ironic considering the brunette works at a club.

The music was loud which he was used to but the whole atmosphere was different than where he worked. First off it was filled with younger people of both genders, everyone grinding on everyone. It felt like he was in the middle of a porn video shooting.

"Ugh, I can't stay here. I'm leaving" He says abruptly and turns to leave but Yeosang grabs his arm.

"What the heck. We just got here. C'mon just stay" The pink head pleads and Yunho sighs and gives in.

"Fine"

Yeosang cheers and smiles widely. "I'm gonna go find Anya, just try and enjoy yourself ok? Make new friends or whatever" He says as he walks backwards into the crowd.

After he disappears Yunho turns to look for Jongho and saw that he too had disappeared which left him standing there awkwardly by himself. He headed straight for the bar since that was practically his natural habitat.

An hour passes and the party was quite dry and uneventful to say the least. At least that's what he thought. He ordered a few drinks and spent most of the time on his phone.

All of a sudden he felt someone lean on him and cling unto his arm. He flinches back with a horrified look on his face and saw that it was a girl. She had dark short hair and he didn't recognize her until she bursted into laughter.

"Hiuna?"

"Pfft, you should've seen the look on your face" She chuckles when she sees Yunho's look of shock.

"W-what are you doing here?" He asks curiously and looks her up an down taking in her appreance. She definitely looked a lot different from when he first met her days ago. Her once damp and tangled hair now looked smooth and silky and pulled back in a short ponytail. She had a bit of eyeliner on as well as lip gloss. She definitely seemed a lot happier.

"What does it look like? I'm having fun" She replies while sitting next to him on one of the tall stools then takes a swig of her drink. "It's good to see you again Yunho" She smiles softly at him and he couldn't help but smile back. Finally, someone that he knows.

"It's good to see you too"

"I didn't know you knew Anya" She comments and looks at him with a raised brow.

"I don't. I'm here 'cause my friend dragged me and I pretty much had no choice" He says sarcastically and she chuckles.

"You seem awfully happy, what's the occasion" He says after a few short seconds of silence.

"What do you mean? Am I supposed to look depressed and sad like you?" She cocks her to the side and Yunho rolls his eyes. Touché.

"No, it's just that well after--"

"--After I found out my fiancé was cheating I'd be sad and hopeless?" She cuts him off and he just nods hesitantly.

She sighs and takes another swig. "I was, for like a few days then I asked myself 'Why am I wasting my time crying over a relationship that pretty much had one foot in the grave?'. Fuck him and his tic tac sized dick. He was never great in bed anyway and if I did even up getting married to him I'd be stuck with his tiny microscopic penis for the rest of my life" She rants and Yunho couldn't help but laugh at the last part, she chuckles at the sound his laugh.

"Well let's make a toast I guess" He picks up his own cup. "Here's to being single"

She grins then clinks her cup with his.
