"So you woke up and chose humiliation today..." Yoongi said with a laugh.

"What did you say?" the bartender spat back as he started wiping up the mess. Yoongi couldn't help but notice the deep blush that was creeping up his neck to his cheeks. He looked away quickly, not wanting to get caught staring.

"Just that you should watch what you're doing a little more and watch me a little less" Yoongi retorted with a smirk.

"As if you could do any better" Jimin looked at him with his hands on his hips.

"I'm not getting paid to be over there" Yoongi laughed.

"I was just surprised that the bottle flip worked. It was my first try. You don't have to be a jerk about it" he responded.

The new guy made Yoongi's drink, without the bottle flip, and walked away.

After taking out his phone, Yoongi started reading notes that he saved for his music. Most of them were rhymes about his dreams. Or about his childhood. Even his nonexistent love life.

He couldn't think about that. Dating wasn't an option for idols. Even rappers. Right now, he needed to write 4 more songs for his mixtape.

Yoongi had a second whiskey while working out lyrics for what he hoped would be his first solo.

On the way to the bathroom, he bumped into the bartender from earlier.

"Oops my bad" he said, a little slurry, before noticing the boy's red puffy eyes. Now he felt like shit.

"Don't worry about it" the blonde said as he continued walking.

"Hey wait!" Yoongi said as he reached out to grab his arm. "I'm s-sorry if I hurt your feelings earlier. I was trying to be funny but I guess it wasn't. I really didn't mean it. Work was shit today and I didn't think. The flip was cool."

"Thanks... it's not just you" the boy replied as he looked up and blinked back tears. "It's been a shit night. It's my first night here bartending... bartending anywhere actually. I'm trying to learn everything and deal with people whistling at me and shit. Then you saw what happened with the whiskey" he said as he shook his head and looked at the ground.

"I'm Jimin by the way" he said as he looked back up at Yoongi.

"Yoongi" he replied with a smile. "And don't let it get to you. Whistling means good tips. And you'll definitely get the hang of everything else."

A Few Minutes Earlier

Jimin sat in the bathroom stall before he let the tears fall. "How stupid can you be" he said to himself as he facepalmed repeatedly.

The tears got hotter as he let himself feel the humiliation. It was bad enough that he spilled whiskey everywhere but did it have to be in front of him?

Jimin was used to being hit on. Used to men, and women, flirting with him just to try and use him. They didn't want to know him, not really. So no one really caught his eye because he was so used to being used. He just closed himself off.

But there was something about that first look. It took his breath away, quite literally.

"It doesn't matter now you idiot" he thought to himself. He knew he had to get back to work so he left the stall to grab a paper towel. He ran some water and wet his face then wiped away the tears.

<3 <3 <3 <3

Yoongi took his spot back at the bar while Jimin started practicing the flip again.

It was late and there weren't many customers left.

" Can I get another?" Yoongi asked Jimin while working on his lyrics.

"Sure... round 2?" Jimin asked.

"Um... no I had one while you were... gone. So 3" Yoongi replied.

Jimin nodded his head and proceeded to make the drink. He went for the flip and...

Nailed it :D

Eyeing Yoongi's work, Jimin got curious. "What are you working on?" he asked.

"Oh um... it's lyrics... for a song I'm writing" Yoongi said, eyeing them himself. He was happy with what he was putting together but definitely not ready to show them to anyone.

"Oh, you're a singer?" Jimin asked.

"Rapper."
