The Bartender

TWO

"So, Jeonghan. How long have you been working here?" Joshua asks, putting his head on his chin. "Around 3 years? I came in a few months after the other bartenders." Jeonghan says as he mixed the drink. "Oh~" Joshua says as Jeonghan pours the yellow liquid into a cocktail glass and hands it to the man. "This isn't bad." Joshua complimented the shorter and Jeonghan smiled, it made Joshua's heart flutter. "Thank you Josh." Jeonghan whispers as he drifted his attention away to the other customers. 

"Go ahead and work. Let me know if you need anything." Joshua hands a 100 dollar bill to Jeonghan as a tip and takes his drink, following Jeonghan downstairs. Jeonghan went back to his station and Joshua sat down at a nearby couch, just opposite his station. Jeonghan did an amazing job, he made the drinks and made small talk with the customers in a friendly manner. Joshua smiled to himself and sipped his margarita, oh how he wanted to know Jeonghan more.

Joshua had also caught the attention of some girls, they sat next to him and tried, I repeat tried to seduce, but no. Joshua had his attention on the long haired bartender, who by now realised that Joshua was watching his every move in a seductive gaze. He decided to tease a little and winked, before biting his lip softly at his direction. Surely, he had developed a little crush on this handsome and kind man.

Over time, Jeonghan could tell that the girls were bothering Joshua, so he approached the man and asked, "Would you like any more drinks sir?" Joshua just stared at him, and replied with a "Sure, but can I learn how to make it?" Jeonghan nodded and escorted the man to the seat directly in front of his station. "I shall make our special drink for you tonight. The 'Shining Diamond'." Jeonghan smiles at Joshua, who just examined him with his brown cat-like eyes as the beauty in front of him grabbed the certain bottles from the wooden shelf.

Once Jeonghan made Joshua's drink, he handed the glass of gradient blue sparkling liquid to Joshua, who indeed took the drink and the beauty's hand. "Do you have a boyfriend?" Joshua asks, one hand sipping on his drink and the other on Jeonghan's hand. "No, I don't" Jeonghan says. With one shot, Joshua downed the glass of alcohol and smiled at the bartender. "Want another drink Josh?~" Jeonghan asks with a chuckle.

Joshua leaned in and stared straight into the beauty's eyes, "Sure but I want you." he said in English. Jeonghan was stunned for a moment, before shaking his head and smiling. "I'll make you glasses of our most popular drinks. '박수' , '만세' , '아낀다' , '예쁘다' and 'Flower'. Please judge their tastes and try no to get drunk alright?" Jeonghan whispers the last part and winks at the brunette, before making the said drinks.

Time passed, and people started leaving, Joshua drank all Club Seventeen's popular drinks and to Jeonghan's surprise, he wasn't drunk at all. In fact, he looked sober and collected as before. "It's almost closing time. Anything else?" Jeonghan glanced at his watch then at Joshua. Joshua shook his head and looked at the blonde beauty. "Let me drive you home?" Joshua asks. "Sure. Why not? I have a question Josh." Jeonghan put his head on his chin. "Go on." Joshua nodded his head, gesturing Jeonghan to continue. 

"Why me?" Jeonghan murmurs. "You seem different...you stand out from the rest. You have a nice smile, you're pretty and you have a nice personality." Joshua says as he placed his elbows on the counter top, leaning in closer. Jeonghan finds himself leaning in closer and their lips brushed against each other. Joshua eyed the beauty up and down, he looked prettier up close. Their lips went closer and closer until...

"Ahem. Not meaning to interrupt your little moment but it's closing time and Seungcheol hyung is asking for Jeonghan." Jihoon coughs, he had already just stopped the music and he had the bill in his hand. "Tell him Jeonghan's busy and here." Joshua handed Jihoon his black card, who walked off to find Seungcheol. Jeonghan turned his attention away to clear the glasses and he cleaned them. Seungcheol came up to Joshua and let his best friend sign the bill, muttering some words to him. Joshua waved him off in response and Jeonghan finished cleaning the glasses and went to the locker room to get changed.

Meanwhile Joshua opened his messaging app and found out that his assistant ditched him to go home first. The message caused him to laugh.

Hyung, I'm going back first. Please don't tire out your boyfriend alright? Wonwoo hyung told me that he has to work tomorrow. Call me if you need to re-arrange your schedule or anything. I'll be at the club tmre anyways :P

His thoughts were distracted when Jeonghan walked out, wearing a simple sweater and his black pants. Joshua thought he looked cute. He smiled at the shorter and bid goodbye to Seungcheol, before pulling Jeonghan along with him. Once they stepped out of the building, Jeonghan's lips were met with Joshua's warm ones. It felt .... desperate but Jeonghan liked it, Joshua held Jeonghan's petite body with care and tilted his head to get a better access. The beauty let out a low groan as Joshua grinded onto the shorter's.

"You're so hot..." Joshua tried to stop himself from having a heated session in public. Jeonghan whispered, "Shua ah~ your car..." Joshua realised and they waited for Joshua's car to arrive. Sooner or later, the valet came and Joshua gave him a 50 dollar bill and muttered a "Go home and rest man." The duo got into the car and they drove off towards Joshua's house.
