"Maybe, but you do know him better than I do." Hyungwon replied when the man had asked if Wonho was cuter. He didnt try to hide or deny that he thought Wonho was attractive because what good would that do? He'd spent his whole adult life denying things and he wasnt about to be denying his feelings or attraction towards someone. Hyungwon surprisingly let another small smile slip into his lips as he hesrd that adorably dopey laugh for the second time.

Hyungwon was actually somewhat enjoying his time with the man who's name he learned was Shownu. They kept chatting about random and small things while they waited for the sweet woman to finish scanning Shownu's items. When Wonho finally decided to join the two, it was obvious he was just as annoyed with Hyungwon as Hyungwon was with him. Hyungwons annoyance seemed to heighten the slightest bit when Wonho came over, mostly because sour moods were contagious but also because something about Wonho was just plainly irritating. It didnt help that je pulled the same 'unfortunately' move that Hyungwon had only moments before. He didnt blame Wonho for his sour mood though. It was obvious that everything wouldnt be all sweet and peachy after what was said on the street earlier that day.

Hyungwon was still still stuck firmly to his decision of not speaking to Wonho, so it wasnt much of a surprise that he and Wonho hadnt spoken at all during their walk to the bar. Each man took turns chatting to Shownu about random things like their personal life and work. It seemed like it was just a way to pass the time without an awkward silence hanging over them.  While talking, Shownu kept the same child-like demeanor that he had while in the convenience store. It was unusual to Hyungwon because of the fact that he was constantly surrounded by overly professional and uptight people. Being around Shownu was a fantastic refresher and it helped soothe his sour mood just a bit at a time.

Hyungwon stared in Wonho's direction as the man suddenly began to speed walk towards a building just up ahead. He looked over to Shownu confused before the sweet man apologized for his friends weird behavior and explained that Wonho had a specific preference when it came to the seating at the bar they were going to. Hyungwon looked up to the building that Wonho was entering and excitedly anticipated what it would be like inside.

Hyungwon had never been to this bar before; but then again, he hadnt been out drinking in quite a while and this place looked fairly new. Hyungwon hated going out drinking alone, and hated it even more when he ended up getting a bit tipsy. When Hyungwon got alcohol in his system, its almost like an alternate personality comes out. He tends to get all cutesy, and flirty with who ever catches his eye..and more times than he'd like to admit, he's woken up in a strangers bed after going out to drink. It was a side of him that Hyungwon didnt particularly like so he tried to avoid public drinking as much as he could.

When Shownu and Hyungwon finally entered the bar, Wonho wasnt in sight, but thats not what had caught his attention. The building had an almost homey feeling and the atmosphere was the most comfortable he'd ever felt in a bar. The surrounding decorations and lights quickly snatched Hyungwon's attention away from his immediate surroundings. It was warm in here. Not in the temperature way but in the 'grandmas-house-at-christmas' way. Hyungwon's attention was snapped back when he felt Shownu lightly bump into his shoulder and made a motion for him to follow. Hyungwon followed behind Shownu over to a booth type lounging table where he saw Wonho was already seated. Shownu sat next to Wonho on the same side of the table so Hyungwon decided to sit beside Shownu but so the corner of the table was situated between them.

Not long after they had sat down and the three of them had gotten comfortable and started chatting, a fairly tall and attractive man approached their table. He introduced himself and said he'd be their waiter for the night before taking their drink order. The three of then decided on a bottle of soju and an array of various mixed drinks. It had been all but a few short minutes before the waiter had returned. Hyungwon thought at first that he was coming to tell them that they were out of a certain drink mix but instead, he turned to see that the waiter had all of their drinks. Hyungwon was confused. How was he back already? Weren't there other tabled to be tended to first?

It didnt click in Hyungwons mind why the waiter was back with their order so soon until he was slipped a small folded sheet of paper. The waiter then turned and left, but not before shooting Hyungwon a cheeky and highly suggestive wink. Hyungwon guessed that the waiters phone number was written inside with a cliche thing written like 'call me xoxo' so because of this, he unfolded the sheet of paper nonchalantly. Hyungwon let out a deep sigh as soon as he saw the first three numbers. He quickly crumpled up the paper into a small ball and proceeded to toss is over the back of the booth behind Shownu and Wonho.

Even when he was obviously out within a group of people, the advances never failed to fly his way and he was getting tired of it.
