Part 16: Kitchen counter kisses

Sehun and Mia arrived at a quaint little bar upon further inspection, she recognised it. Her father use to drag here all the time, Mia stomach twisted into knots as the nostalgia hit her hard. Sehun noticed her examining the bar silently, slightly confused the man raised an eye brow to her.

"Everything okay"? The man asked gently, Mia nodded and turned from the window to face him.

"Yes". She lied straight through her teeth, the man nodded and chuckled.

"Just want to make sure my beautiful date is okay". Mia blushed to the mans statement it was her turn to chuckle and offer the man a kind smile. Sehun smiled back and pulled the keys from the ignition, shoving them into his pocket then opening his door, hopping from the car and out onto the street. The man slammed his door shut then walked over to the passenger side he opened her door then offered her his extended hand, Mia took his hand in her gently and stepped out of the car letting Sehun closed the door behind her. The two said nothing just silently let their feet guide them into the rustic looking bar. Almost immediately the harsh smell of old cigarettes and alcohol burned into her nose. The bar had about 10 people shuffled around in random spots, classic dark hardwood floors sported the ground and the walls were painted dark. Sehun pulled the girl over to the bar area and sat down, Mia examined the bar as she sat down. It was the same as she remembered it and the same older gentlemen who stood behind the bar, cleaning glasses.

"This place, use to be a normal bar, but several gangs made this their regular meeting spot, so be prepared for anything tonight". Sehun explained while fixing his cuff links, Mia nodded watching the man silently. Under the dim light his sharp features looked even more handsome and with out noticing Mia began wondering if Sehun was more handsome than Kai.

"You okay"? Immediately she shook away her thoughts and smiled to Sehun.

"Yes of course, sorry". She replied offering his a soft but stiff smile in return Sehun smiled and waved the bar tender over, immediately the older man shuffled over to them and smiled while placing his hands onto the counter and leaning on them.

"What can I get you two"? His deep voice hummed, he had swampy brown eyes and a kind face with wrinkles and spots that proved his age. Mia smiled back to the man and looked to Sehun letting him order first.

"A whiskey on the rocks". The older man nodded mentally noting the drink while looking to Mia.

"And for you miss"?

"Vesper martini, please". The older man nodded while grabbing all the supplies he would need to make the drinks.

"I'll have those for you in a moment". The man turned to work on the drinks and, Sehun turned to Mia smirking dangerously.

"So Mia, tell me about you're self". He spoke softly, the girl chuckled and shook her head slowly.

"I'm not really interesting Sehun".

"Of course you are, you just can't see it. The man paused and thought for a moment "Tell me about your family, I know of your father, what about siblings your mother"?

"No siblings and my mother died when I was younger". Sehun's mouth pulled into a straight line, before he nodded briskly.

"Im sorry Mia". The man apologized, Mia waved her hand and smiled to the man, she ignored his half hearted apology. There was nothing he could have done, it wasn't his fault, wasn't his problem.
