Addictive Like Alcohol

Ch. 1 - Not so Alcohol-free anymore

...

A normal night falls on the populated Seoul.
The city is filled with people scattering everywhere, one place most people go to find comfort is this local bar. Inside you're greeted with a long pub table and your normal bartender equipment. The rest is just comfy sofas to sit in and chat. The only thing that attracts people is their popular bartender. "Son Chaeyoung."

This woman is the star of this bar, the reason why this bar has several awards.
The reason this bar is so favorited by locals.
But most of all, the stupidest reason why people come here is to see an attractive, hot, girl make drinks for them, yes they come for Son Chaeyoung. So don't be surprised if middle aged men stare at you in a malicious way, or if women in their 20's try to hook up with your boyfriend.

Well, that's what happened to a guest at this bar. A girl who surely isn't a local, she's dressed up nicely though.. Somehow, her boyfriend hooked up with a girl he just met and started making out..? They broke up on the spot and he left. That's what all the customers are talking about. Now all we have left is this sulking woman who's doing nothing but lie on the marble table with an half empty shot glass and an empty glass bottle of Sweet Carolina whiskey.

...

"Ohh.. my god." A hand grabbed the empty whiskey bottle and looked at it, gasping in surprise, But immediately giggled. The drunk harlot immediately knew who it was. The addictive giggle explained everything. She looks up to see if it was really her and to her surprise..

It was her. Son Chaeyoung.

"Mina..you just finished the whiskey I recently bought.." She sighed in disappointment, looking to Mina in pity.

Mina looked at her speechless, then groaned and makes her head fall onto the cold, marble table without giving a shit. She knew she worked at this bar, she worked her ass off just to find out when Chaeyoung isn't on her shift. She knew this bar was loved by locals, her "boyfriend" loves this bar, so she tried to find a way to make this the best date possible.

Of course it turned out wrong

"Sigh..Hey Chaeyoungie." Mina moaned out of her mouth in an exhausted way. Chaeyoung noticed and questioned why at first, until she heard a group of old men that sat on the other side of the room mumbling and talking something about her ex and what really happened. As soon as Chaeyoung heard it, she heard a little sniff come out from Mina. She was crying.

Chaeyoung raised her brow. "You're not ok, are you?" She asked, grabbing a wet glass and drying it with a white cloth. Mina finally snaps and responded with a muffled cry. She looks up to Chaeyoung, her cheeks flowing with the tears coming out of her eyes. It got Chaeyoung mad, yet sad that the their first interaction in a long time has Mina sobbing.

Chaeyoung sighed. "You want another bottle..?" She asked. Mina looked at her, confused. "Didn't you get mad at me for finishing the last one?" She wiped a tear from her cheek, sniffling. Chaeyoung softly did that addictive giggle. "I wasn't mad darling, I was just surprised." Grabbing a new glass for the Hopeless Japanese lady.

She walked to the exit of the marble pub table and sat right next to the bar stool next to Mina's. She turned it to her direction as soon as she does.

"So, how's life be-"

"Terrible, You could clearly see it is." Mina scoffed, quickly drinking the shot glass she poured earlier, scoffing again after. She's right. Chaeyoung looked at Mina with a concerned face, her hand was on her head, she seemed stressed out and tired. "Oh..haha." Chaeyoung chuckled the rude interruption off and just stared at the bottle of bud light she was gonna drink. Mina turned to Chaeyoung who quickly turns the opposite way. "Well, if you really want to know.. it's been, interesting." Mina looked at Chaeyoung, hoping to turn to her in awe.
"R-really?" She quickly turned and respond at the same time.

Mina laughed at that, she still the curious little beast she knew in college. "Well.."

They started to talk about their life and how successful they've been since graduation. How Chaeyoung is now a superstar. Many celebrities have gone to her bar and she's well known everywhere around Asia. Meanwhile for Mina, she's grown rich in the past 3 years, She's worked with many successful people like Priscilla Chan, Mark Zuckerberg, and plenty more. As Mina started to boast about her net worth and interesting stuff like that, Chaeyoung stared at her like a puppy.
They haven't talked like this in a long time, having someone like Chaeyoung to listen to everything you want to say is amazing.
The things Mina felt as she sees Chaeyoung listen were unbearable.

....

2 hours later..

Chaeyoung was asleep, 6 bottles of empty bud light glared at her. As for Mina, she was texting her ex.

...

Mina looked up at Chaeyoung, dead asleep on the table. Her blonde is hair covering one eye, her red, flushed face. The way her chest rises to breathe. Mina felt.. odd, looking at her. She always thought of Chaeyoung as pretty. She went back to her phone, scrolling to God knows what. She looked up at the time and her eyes glared at the screen, astonished by what time it is. "Ugh fuck, I have work tomorrow.." She groaned painfully. "I guess a little break wouldn't hurt. Just one day." Mina stood up and glanced at Chaeyoung. 'We could spend time for a while..just gotta wake her up.' She thought to herself.

She walked up to Chaeyoung and taps her shoulder. "Hey..wake up. It's the middle of the night, what are you doing.." She rocks her shoulder softly. Chaeyoung woke up quickly and groaned at the sudden motion of her shoulders moving.
"Mmmmrrrhh.. Oh.. Mina- what time is it-" She looked at her watch and her eyes opened wide as if she's seen a ghost. "Oh god- it's 1:30. Y-yeah we- we gotta go..." She quickly moved and turned the remaining lights in the bar off.

"I guess this is where I say goodbye..?" Chaeyoung questioned. "N-no..I was wondering if I could stay at your house. My ex is still at my door so I don't feel like I should go.." Mina quickly responded.
"You didn't tell me your ex was a bitch..come on, my house is just 2 block away." Chaeyoung grabs Mina's hand and the both walk together in the starry city night.
