SLOW DANCE

Hyungwon was surprised to meet one of his very professional colleagues from work in a club. Especially in a gay club. Dressed so differently, how Hyungwon remembered him from work when they sometimes ran into each other. The other always wore casually elegant clothes or a comfortable shirt with baggy black pants. He also seemed to not care about messy hair or redness on his face, which he could easily cover up with a little makeup.

It was a bit of a shock to see the older man in a fit shirt with a V-neckline, shiny cropped jacket and those God damn skinny leather pants. The other man had previously looked hot in work clothes, but Hyungwon couldn't take his eyes off the older dressed that way. The flawless makeup and neatly styled hair particularly caught his eye. The way the man was leaning on the table while talking to one of the barmen, was, in some way, so attractive and intimidating, that Hyungwon almost felt bad for staring.

He had been observing him from afar for approximately fifteen minutes, and he was still wondering if the other had noticed him yet. Hyungwon felt too awkward just to get up and greet his coworker.

On the other hand, when Hyunwoo noticed him, there was no shock on his face. Just a little smile. He looked nice, especially while smiling, and Hyungwon couldn't stop himself but also smiled as Hyunwoo approached him.

"You look good tonight" He commented as soon as he was standing right next to Hyungwon, making him almost melt from attention, "You should dress like this more often, it suits you and still looks classy" This was a moment the younger noted to choose red shirts more often instead of simple white ones.

"Hyunwoo hyung, thank you. I could say the same about you" Hyungwon started to play with his fingers. An old habit, he couldn't get rid of, "Is it weird to say, that I am shocked to see you here? I always imagined you with a wife and two kids"

"Oh, well" Hyunwoo almost rolled his eyes. That was what he heard from his coworkers, even friends, every day, "I come here almost all Friday nights. My friend works as a barman, and well, I'm not a huge fan of rave clubs, jazz is much better"

Hyungwon nodded. He wanted to ask if Hyunwoo was only here for jazz music or because it was a gay club, but he knew it was a stupid question to ask considering that it was a queer-only space. He also believed that Hyunwoo was a person who would respect it.

"Wanna grab a drink together?" The older offered, as soon, as he became aware of the awkward silence between them, "I'll pay"

"Sure" Hyungwon once again nodded, "Get me anything you think I would like"

"Honestly, you seem like soju or sweet drink guy. Nothing between" The man said as he was guessing, but they had been drinking together before, at some work-related parties, so he already knew what his colleague might prefer "I assume something light, we don't want to get wasted, don't we? I also remember that you liked sweet wine, am I right?

"I don't like fancy stuff, so most of the time I prefer something simple" He explained, but some memories of his hungover flashed through his head "However, my stomach doesn't appreciate strong drinks lately"

"We are both at our age after all" Hyunwoo tried joking, but the other man just shrugged.Hyungwon didn't know if to find this offensive or only funny, so he simply didn't react,"Are you calling me old?"

"Don't worry, I'm older than you anyway" As the older man awkwardly responded, Hyungwon smiled at it, to let him know that he hadn't hurt his feelings. He took a good look at Hyunwoo.

"You still look good," he said, even before he could stop himself.

"You think so? I've been hearing that I'm looking like a father, even from you, I don't even know what that supposed to mean" The older made a face. Hyungwon wanted to laugh at this. He thought about, how someone as good-looking as Hyunwoo could be insecure, even in a small part, about his looks. If he could, he would tell the other every day, listing everything he liked in him. But that would be weird.
