11 - Yeonjun

I had roamed around for quite a while as Hoseok told me to look and meet people who were in the building.

Wonwoo insisted to speak with Hoseok alone, along with the others.

I had permission to look around, so it was fine.

This place was surprisingly much bigger than I thought though.
I wouldn't say it's that big but, it does have another set of stairs that lead deep on the ground towards an underground just like a basement.

After pretty much a minute of walking, I had lost my way along a big place that looked like a.. Bar? I never knew they would have such a thing here, I guess some people deserve some shots at the lowest point in life.

Surprisingly though, someone was behind the counter as I walked up, he had quite a big figure and biceps.

He seemed to notice me as he wave his hands at me.

"Oh! New guy, I assume?" He spoke with enthusiasm, as he shot me a bright wide smile.

I chuckled at that, he looked so bright like a sunshine. Oh, he looks young too. i decided to sit on one of the chairs beside the counter as I asked for a drink.

"Whiskey?" He asked,

"No, I'd like to have something simple. You got a can of beer?"

He smiled as he nodded,

"A can of beer coming right up."

He walked outside for a moment before he had finally came out holding a two cans of beer in his hands. He placed one into the countertop and slid it to me. I took it gladly as I shot him a confused look.

"When you had ordered for a can a beer, I noticed you were definitely not an ordinary man. Something up that you need someone to talk to?" He spoke.

With a chuckle, I nodded.

"Maybe? Well, I don't know. Plus, being twenty-three doesn't help either."

He laughed quite loudly at that comment.

"Wow, beats me. You look awfully young for your age though, that's impressive."

I shook my head with dissagreement, though probably deep inside I liked it.

"No, no, that's not true really. You look young as well. How old are you?"

"Oh! That was so rude of me, my name is Changbin. I'm twenty-four!" He exclaimed.

My eyes shot wide as I gasped, "No way! You compliment me that I look young, but your even a year older than me?"

Changbin chuckled as he opened the can of beer.

"You sure aren't an ordinary man, aren't you? I kinda like you!" He once exlaimed with a laugh.

Hearing this, I laughed as well.

We had probably laughed too much into the point that I had bits of tears in my eyes.

After calming the atmosphere down, Changbin had spoke.

"So, aside all of these.. Silly jokes, what did you want to talk about? You know, I'm known as a very good listener around here, hence being a bartender. Oh, I love this job."

I smiled at how lively this man was.

"Ah, well.. You know. Hard decisions that I have to decide in life. As well as big expectations and priorities."

Changbin nodded as he listened attentively.

"Well you know, people get to have hard decisions sometimes. And sometimes, we have to chose one of them."
