h - harsh [3/4]

See you at outside Jung Sik Dung at 6

Youjung stares at the message that was sent the moment she left the building but till now, there wasn't a reply. The delivered never turned to seen and that was what worries her. Gripping her handbag's sling tightly, the fear of being stood up slowly appearing and it intensifies at the sight of more couples walking into the restaurant. Sweet smiles and tightly held hands make her stomach churn.

Adjusting the Daniel Wellington watch, the minute hand stops directly above the number six. She lets out a sigh before looking around the place once again; making sure that she didn't miss Donghyuk. Fortunately, no one recognize her. She went back to being a faceless stranger that people walk pass in a hurry. A small smile appears at the memory of wishing to be unknown a few days back and here, she gets what she wants but her heart yearns for the attention.

To her, the attention represents a certain male who unknowingly crept into her heart for the past four months. Staring at her red heels, she blinks once again and looks up, getting really bored. The heels were also killing her feet and she wish to throw them across the road before running around barefooted – free. She walks in a small circle slowly to pass time and the next time she checks her watch, it was already seven-thirty.

She swallows the betrayal and embarrassment as she walks away from the entrance of the restaurant with slow steps. Thinking back to her life, she hardly had friends that she could hang out with, people finding her too serious for their liking or too boring for them. So when she entered university, she learnt to just be acquaintances with everyone so a repeat of high school wouldn't happen but it seems though that everyone just wanted to be out of university that they never bother to make bosom friends.

A neon light attracts her attention and she gazes at the sign and the long queue forming outside. Youjung changes her destination and head towards the front of the queue. The two bouncers recognizing her immediately straighten at the sight of her. "Don't you have a date?" the warm voice whispers when she gets into hearing range and she sighs as she looks away.

Disregarding the two males at the entrance, she enters at the sounds of dismay displayed by the customers. She immediately heads to the second floor, the VIP level but was stopped halfway through her trek by a drunken male. She pushes him off and before he could latch onto her again, a hand grabs the failing arm. "She's one of the bosses here. I would appreciate it if you wouldn't touch my boss," the handsome male says with a smile as his grip tightens.

He turns to nod at her, one that she returns and continues making her way to the second floor. The bodyguards move the moment they see her, gaining more protests from unhappy supposedly VIP customers. Ignoring all the talk about her using her looks, she strolls up the stairs and immediately heads towards the bar. The bartender immediately frowns at the sight of her and finishes the drink before putting it in front of the customer with his dimpled smile.

She takes a seat at the corner of the place and he switches out with another male who throws worried looks over to the female. "Youjung, what are you doing here?" the bartender asks gently, having heard her problems from earlier.

"A beer please," she requests but when he doesn't attempt to move, she reaches over the counter to grab one herself and ignores the protest coming from the male's mouth. "Shut up, Jooheon and let me drink."

"It's Oppa but whatever," he mumbles in annoyance and tries to stop her again. "I'm not letting you get drunk again."

"It'll be my only one, Oppa," she mocks before taking another sip.

Jooheon rolls his eyes but takes off his jacket and places it over her legs. She looks down and offers a bitter smile. He turns to lean against the counter and to observe the people streaming in. As the beat starts to build up, she peers between the metal planes to catch sight of a tuff of blonde hair with one side of the headphones stuck to his ear. "Yoongi Oppa is planning to make this place catch on fire huh," she comments, taking another swing of her beer.
