---------------------------------------------------------------
Gaon looked at his watch having a hard time believing he made it. Although he had to go through some hard and at some point humiliating moments at the airport or taxi but ha made it to the bar.

He looked around to find the man he was supposed to meet. An old friend from the time he acted up. He was the one that introduced Gaon to the gang saying "They'll give him power that he needs." How naive he was to believe those bullshits. He shook his head to get rid of those thoughts. Gaon spotted Jung min at the main bar working as a bartender but not the old friend. He casually walked to the bar and sat in front of Jung min.

" What can I get ya sir?" Jung min asked and the full American accent made Gaon smile a little bit. He looked down to cover his little smile and Jung min rolled his eyes. Gaon could never become an actor.

" Martini." He finally answered. Some minutes passed. Gaon was sipping his drink while looking around and trying to avoid any contacts with Jung min.

" You're new?" A familiar voice came from his back. He turned around to face his old mate: Brad
He stood up and raised his hand but Brad just nodded and kept his eyes on someone which Gaon noticed, after following his gaze, was Jung min.

" Hey pretty boy!" Brad said louder and reduced the distance between him and Jung min.

Jung min turning around acting like he's hearing voice for the first time.

" What can I get ya sir?" He asked the same way he asked Gaon before.

" You're new?"

" Nah. I'm just filling in for a friend."

Gaon stood behind and moved back his face so his lack of ability of acting doesn't give him away.

Brad had his black long hair in a bun so that he could flex his neck tattoos. He leaned forward.

" What's his name?"

" Jeremy." Jung min answered pouring a drink for someone but when gave out the drink he looked back at Brad. He leaned forward kinda daring.

" Can you help you with anything?" He wasn't offering help. He was being polite for not saying " what the fuck?"

This was the moment Gaon noticed that the whole bar was silent and only music could be heard. He looked around hoping the reason would be anything but the tension here but he was wrong. Everyone was looking at them.

" If you wanna last, get used to regular faces."

" Not sure if I wanna comeback..." Jung min threw up his shoulders.
Those two started the stare contest which made everyone more uncomfortable than what they were.

" Anyway..." Gaon put his hand on Brad's shoulder. Brad turned his attention to him and sat down.

" How you doing man?" Gaon started.

" Great actually. And I know you're doing good."

" Oh no awful. My father's been a jerk more than ever."
Gaon looked at his drink and tried to show sadness in his voice.

" I worked damn hard for that shit and now he's giving it to his daughters. " he smirked. "Load of bullshits." He murmured. Loud enough for Brad to hear.

" You had a conference last week?"
Gaon kinda knew he was being checked but seriously he thought it's scary now.

" You saw that circus?"

" Kang Yohan was there." Brad pointed casually but it tighten Gaon's muscles.

" You know him?" He was hoping he could show disgust in his voice.

" Yeah kinda..."

" That piece of shit is way worse than my father. " He said then took a sip.

" How I wish I'd never leave here..." Gaon said between his sigh.

" Really?" Brad had one of his eyebrows up clearly wondering if Gaon was for real.

" Yeah. At least I wouldn't be someone's toy here..." He looked at his eyes trying to convince him but Brad took his eyes and looked down.
Some minutes passed in silence. Gaon wasn't confident he did a good job. He desperately wanted to look at Jung min to check his reaction but he was scared he would get caught.

" Then why don't you?" Brad finally said. Gaon looked at him with wide eyes and a genuine surprised face.

" Are you serious?"

" Sure. I can talk to Simon..." He answered like it was no big deal.

" Thanks man." Gaon tried to don't show that his heart is jumping out of his chest. Brad nodded.

" Finish your drink. We need to go."
