"Is this even allowed?" I arched an eyebrow at Chaeyoung as I watched her open a bottle of soju.

"Of course, it is," she answered, pouring the liquor into four small glasses. "It's a little custom we have as employees where we come together and have a drink or two."

She slid three of the four glasses towards me, Felix and Chris. "And don't worry about the Iguana man finding out. This was his idea." She gave me a playful knowing look.

"Reassuring," I answered rather dryly. I wasn't opposed to the idea. I just found it odd that Jiyong casually allowed his workers to drink his liquor for free – unless this was gonna come straight out of our paycheck without us knowing, but I digress.

Besides, who am I to refuse a free drink?

"Here to another night's work, fellas." Chaeyoung raised her glass.

"Here, here!" Chris jeered as he, Felix and I followed suit.

We clinked our glasses together randomly saying 'cheers' until we emptied our glasses in one go.

"So, Ollie. I take it that you have a lot of experience as a bartender," Chris asked as Chaeyoung refilled our glasses. "That makes you our sunbae."

"No need for the honorifics," I replied. "I don't really care much for seniority in workplaces or anywhere else, really. Everyone is equal to me regardless of age, gender, social status and all. Just as long as we respect each other."

"Oh! So, you're basically rated 'E' for everyone." Felix said.

Chaeyoung nearly spat out her drink while Chris and I cringed visibly. Felix quickly caught on to our reactions and what he said and blushed wildly. "I didn't mean it like that, guys! Come on!" he wailed.

"Yeah, but the choice of words, mate. The choice of words." Chris emphasised, putting his hand on his junior's shoulder. Felix rolled his eyes.

"Not my fault you have your minds in the gutter. Y'all are nasty!" he retorted.
