4 - The Manliest Name

His voice was neither gentle nor loud, but it shook Lisa as if lightning had struck the ground.

She recalled what she said to Jungkook when she came the other day.

"I'm sorry, this is a decent and proper bar."

"Really? What a pity."

"......"

Lisa pressed her lips together and an overwhelming embarrassment engulfed her.

Fortunately, it was very noisy, the bartender didn't hear what Jungkook had said. He was puzzled, "Bro, what are you doing?" Then, he pointed at the drawer and raised his voice, "Have you seen the bracelet that was placed here?"

Upon hearing that, Jungkook glanced at the drawer.

The bartender explained, "This customer came to our bar and left a bracelet behind. Soobin found the bracelet yesterday, I......"

He paused and changed his mind, "Didn't you keep it?"

Jungkook sat on the barstool and lazily replied, "Ah..."

The bartender said, "Where did you keep it?"

Jungkook casually looked away, "I didn't see it before."

"..." The bartender nearly choked, he was speechless of his capricious boss.

Meanwhile, two young women went to the bar to order drinks.

The bartender saw his saviors, and he uttered, "Boss, could you serve this customer? Please excuse me while I get to work." Then, he immediately went to greet the ladies.

Soobin left before anyone knew.

They were both left alone.

Although it was crowded and rowdy, they were still considered left alone with each other. After all, the bartender requested him to serve her. One of them stood there and the other remained seated. The atmosphere between them seemed to be strangely disconnected from the outside world.

Jungkook took a clean empty cup and poured liquor into it until it was half full.

The next moment, Jungkook pushed the cup in front of her.

Lisa was surprised and she looked at him.

That man's black hair was finely scattered on his forehead, his eyelashes were like the feathers of a crow, and his face was half bright under the lighting. He was still holding a can of beer in his hand. He raised his brows and said, "What can I do for you?"

It seemed like Lisa really had the guts to come here to get laid.

She paused for a moment and did not touch the glass of liquor, "No, thank you."

An awkward silence......

Lisa assumed Jungkook was embarrassed by the bartender's explanation. He didn't mention the incident about the contact number. She didn't mention it either because she was in his territory and she decided to save his face.

She went back to the main question, "Are you the person in charge of the Lost and Found items?"

Jungkook smiled, "Who told you that?"

Lisa pointed towards the bartender's direction.

Jungkook looked towards the direction, his hands loosened and the can of beer suddenly knocked the bar top.

"Mingyu."

Mingyu subconsciously looked up, "Hey! What's wrong, Bro!"

Jungkook calmly said, "When did I have the time to take care of Lost and Found items?"
