For the next week, I kept going back to Bar K. Every time I ordered ‘Memories’ and every time I wondered what it was made of and also wondering why drinking it causes me to think of Yamapi. Today was no difference, I went to Bar K right after work.
“See you tomorrow!” I called, walking out of the office.
I took a taxi to the bar and walked in to find Aiba standing there with 2 other bartenders.
“Konnichiwa Aiba-kun!” I smiled at him.
“Konnichiwa!” he said as I sat down.
“The usual please.”
“Still figuring it out?” he guessed.
“Yep. Unless you want to tell me?”
“No, I’ll make you guess! Hai, douzo!”
“Arigatou.” I said as I drank it. “I want another drink. Another sweet one.”
“Hai.”
I kept asking for drinks and finally, I didn’t know what happened anymore.
Nino’s P.O.V
“Moshi moshi, Aiba?”
“Nino, Chihiro is at Bar K.” he said in a worried voice.
“Did something happen?”
“She drank too much and now she’s sleeping on the counter. I don’t know who to call so I called you.”
“Why did you give her so much to drink?”
“She didn’t look drunk and she kept nagging for more drinks so I gave her some…”
“Aibaa!”
“Gomen!”
“I’m coming over now. Keep an eye on her.”
“Hai!”
Then I hung up. I quickly ran out of the shops and drove over to Bar K as quickly as I could. I finally arrived after 15 minutes and walked into the bar.
“Aiba, where’s Chihiro?” I asked as he saw Aiba looking around, frightened with worry scribbled all over his face.
“Ninoooo Chihiro’s missing!”
“EHHHH? MISSING?! HOW???” I asked scared.
“She was sitting here 2 minutes ago, I had to go and take an order and when I came back she disappeared!”
“WHAT DO YOU MEAN DISAPPEARED??” I shouted as I ran out of the bar, looking around to see if I could spot her. All I could see was lights from the shops around me. “CHIHIRO?! Dokoni iru no?!”
I ran everywhere trying to find her but I couldn’t find her.
“Anata wa Chihiro desuyo ne? You seem pretty drunk today!” I heard someone say behind a block of building. The voice seemed familiar though.
