WooSan: 25

JJ BAR

"Hurry up, Wooyoung." San said as he ran into a building entrance.

Wooyoung looked up at the signboard then he pulled San's arms. "Wait."

"Huh?" San turned around.

"When I said dinner, I meant at a food stall outside campus. Not at this kind of place."

"This is the bar I'm playing at. Come on."

San pulled Wooyoung's waist into his arms and dragged him into the bar.

They sat in front of the small stage where San used to play drums with his band.

"Nice atmosphere. I like it here." Wooyoung said.

San smiled delighted. "I'm glad to hear that."

Seeing San smile, Wooyoung frowned. "Your smile is different from usual."

Flustered, the smile on Sam's face faded slowly.

"How do I usually smile?"

"Like a jackass."

San giggles.

"It's a job."

"What do you mean?"

"Have you ever heard of a 'bussiness smile'?"

Wooyoung shook his head.

"I'm a musician. It's my job to entertain people. Even though I'm not a lead singer, I had to learn how to smile. When I smile, customers are impressed. When customers are impressed, they're satisfied. When they're impressed, the bar owner keeps hiring me." San explained to detail.

Wooyoung nodded, raised an eyebrow, "So it's just a fake smile."

"Urmm... I guess you could say that. But this smile..." San dragged his face closer to Wooyoung's and smiled even brighter than he smiled before. "Is only for you."

Embarassed, Wooyoung turned his face down as he felt he was blushing. "You're so lame." he said cover up.

"Do they pay you well here?" he asked.

San nodded. "Yes. The more hooked customers are the better the pay."

"Ahh..." Wooyoung nodded understand.

Latterly, a woman approached them. "Hey, San. What are you doing here?" she patted San's shoulder. "I thought you weren't playing today."

"Hey, Jieun.." San smiled at her. "I'm not here to work. Today.. I'm a customer."

Jieun nodded,"Ohhh.."

"This is Wooyoung. He's my friend." San introduced Wooyoung to Jieun.

"And, this is Jieun. The owner." he introduced Jieun to Wooyoung.

Wooyoung and Jieun smiled and bowed their heads to each other.

"Are you sure he's your friend, not your boyfriend?" she whispered at San.

"Boyfriend? No. He's just my friend." said San without whispering and looking at Wooyoung with the brightest smile only for him .

"Okay okay I got it. This handsome guy is really your friend." Jieun said as he patted San's back.

"By the way, Jieun.. can I leave my friend with you for a second? I'll go say hi to my friends outside."

"Of course, anything for you." she smiled at San.

San got up but Wooyoung held his hand and stopped him. "Where are you going, San?" he whispered at San.

"Just a moment." San said as he walked away.
