3. Gunil

"Ms. Y/n" your eyes shot up to the older woman in front of you. "You did well tonight, I was pleasantly surprised. Considering it's your first day" You bowed slightly at the woman "thank you".

She shuffled a little closer to you with a smile "now tomorrow, I need you to bring your A game. It's a Saturday, our busiest night and I have you with my best bartender, Gunil. I want him to be impressed by you, unlike the others we've had before" you nodded shyly at her, your heart racing at the thought of the pressure you'll be under the next night.

It's only your 3rd shift and you did not feel prepared enough to work with the absolute best on the busiest night, you always found a way to fuck things up in some capacity.

"I know you'll do great though, I'm not too worried about you. He comes off as a little bit of an asshole but I promise you he's not" you nodded once more before she told you to go home for the night.

You moved quickly from your seat and made your way out the bar.

As you walked home, down the bustling streets of Seoul, you couldn't help but question what your boss had said to you.

"It was a little bar, how busy could it really get?"

"Why would she put me on with the best bartender she has? What if he hates me? What if I don't do good enough and I get fired"

You quickly shook those thoughts from your mind, ready to do your absolute best the next night.

You arrived home and went straight to your room, looking through your closet to find an outfit for the next day.

"None of these are good enough"

You thought to yourself, why were you even trying to look good the next night? You were just going to work, but maybe if you looked nice, you would make a good first impression.

You always wanted people to think great things of you right from the first meeting.

You quickly rushed into the bar, already packed with people. You found your manager through the crowd of people and she gave you a wide smile, walking up to you.

"Hello, young lady, you look very nice tonight" you smiled and bowed to her words. "So I'm ready to get out of here, I'm gonna go introduce you to Gunil".

She motioned over for you to follow her and you did quickly.

She stopped in front of him and hollered "Gunil, this is y/n, y/n this is Gunil. Have fun tonight!" You smiled over at him and he did the same. She quickly walked away and left you standing there.

You walked behind the bar and looked up at him "please keep up with me, I move pretty quick so I expect the same. I don't have time to help you much. We're just too busy" you nodded and started to work around him, making sure things are filled up and he has everything he needs.

As you squeezed behind him to go to the other side of the bar, he stepped back, bumping into you. He looked over to you and shot you a dirty glance but didn't say anything.

You felt your heart rate spike from nervousness. The last thing you wanted was to frustrate him.

You continued to work, helping where you could, noticing that he was starting to get behind on making drinks. "Do you need help?" He didn't answer you, just continuing making the current drink he was working on.
