"This time, This place

Misused, Mistakes"

Nam Soon just couldn't keep his hair still this night. He changed it to one side and then another, threw it back, and then back over his eyes - even without knowing why he was bothering about it so much.

He wondered if he should wear a social outfit - since it was still a business meeting. But since Moo Yul didn't tell him anything about it, he ended up wearing just some tight jeans, long sleeves, winter coat and a scarf. It was not a date, so he had no reason to worry so much about his clothes, though he was still undecided. Although he didn't really know for which company they worked at, just by the fact that they did it in a full suit already meant that they should receive a good salary. Therefore, it was expected for them to dress better than him, who was just a waiter at a coffee shop.

In the end, he gave up and arranged his hair the same way as always - he had no reason to try to get it straight; it had always been a mess anyway. He left home with his keys and his wallet - though he admitted that it didn't have much money.

In his way to the karaoke, he couldn't stop wondering... What if Heung Soo wasn't there? What if he gave up going because of him? Removing some of the snowflakes that fell on his hair, he got on the train that would take him to the station nearest to the karaoke. He shouldn't be worrying too much. Heung Soo wouldn't have invited him, even if it was against his wish, if he didn't plan to go.

Nam Soon tried to remain positive. He really hoped that he would be there, and that he would get a chance to make some progress in their relationship - or whatever he should call it.

"I'd give it all

I'd give for us

Give anything but I won't give up"

Nam Soon arrived thirty minutes past the scheduled time, mostly because the subway took considerably longer than he thought it would to arrive. Just a few people had arrived, and he felt relieved. Honestly, he was worried that it might seem a little strange to show up in a business meeting like that. But he shouldn't, because it appeared to be more of a friendly meeting than anything too uptight - Moo Yul was singing one pop song that was pretty famous these days, side by side with one girl that looked about his age. Seated at the right side of the room were two girls, who whispered to one another when he arrived, probably wondering who he was - at least that was what he thought they were talking about. And three more guys were drinking and talking loudly at the center of the table. They didn't seem to notice his presence.

Moo Yul just greeted him, but didn't stop singing. Though Nam Soon wasn't paying attention to him anymore - his eyes were focused on the left side of the room, where Heung Soo was sitting on a large couch. An empty bottle of soju was already disposed in front of him, while he drank half of the second one.

His eyes were looking straight into his, and Nam Soon really wished he could read his thoughts. He blinked as he approached Heung Soo, looking down at his feet - he couldn't face those eyes that intimidated him. He sensed that he kept watching until Nam Soon sat down next to him. And as soon as he did it, Heung Soo took a pack of cigarettes over the table and stood up, heading for the door.
