Demian Bar

Absinthe x2

"Max? THE MAX DEMIAN?" The lanky male turned his head to face the very named individual who quirked an eyebrow at him.

"No, my name is Maxine. Max for short--" Maxine was cut off by the professor.

"But you're a woman!" He exclaimed, mind blown at the fact that despite the facts about Max being 100% accurate, the one thing that is inaccurate, was the gender.

"Sir--"

"My name is Namjoon--"

"Right. Sir, your intelligence is not going to change the fact the gender of our boss is female.." I continued, without disruptions from Namjoon himself.

He blinked slowly and tried once more, "But...does that mean you don't have black wings...?"

I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion, "Does she look like the devil?! She's a human! Look at her!"

She sighed once more, "This is what I get for letting that Sinclair include me in his biography. First, it was how he painted me as "a woman with masculine features." Now, I have to explain to everyone I am in fact a woman. Next, it was his love for describing me as a devil after I dressed up as one for a Halloween party..."

"..My whole life...it's caught in a lie.." He covered his face with his hands, as if he couldn't comprehend it, his world flipped upside down.

"Sir, are you ok?" looking at his strange state.

He shook his head quickly and muttered, "No, I can't accept this..!"

Never experiencing something like this, I merely patted his shoulder several times, "Sir, you have been awake by the truth, please accept it and move on..."

Demian looked from the emotionally wrecked man to me, "I think he has really lost his way. Maybe this is why I had Absinthe in a secret stash and not serve it to the general public," stressing the word secret towards me.

I chuckled nervously and tried changing the subject, "So...boss, why are you here so early?"

"Emil cancelled on me last minute, he said his sister suddenly had to go to the hospital, I hope she's alright."

"YG Hospital?"

Maxine hummed, "Yeah, YG's trying to conquer a lot these days...Maybe mom was right, I should expand.."

"Yes...expand the lies and continue ruining my theories," Namjoon whined loudly, bringing our attention towards him, sipping the last contents of his drink.

"I am going to talk to the other staff," she walked away before turning to me one last time, "Take care of the boy. I mean it."

"Oh boy.. what have I gotten into.." I trailed off, eyeing the bespectacled male.

"I go down, and down.. at this point I feel like a fool..." NamJoon muttered under his breath, about to grasp for the Absinthe drink, until my nimble fingers latched onto the drink, drawing it away from him.

"Hey! That's my shot..! I need it after what I've been through.. Gosh.. Save me.." He grumbled, loosening his tie from his collar.

"No, I think you had one too many for today, Rap Mon.." I poured the drink down the sink, half expecting my boss to show up, which fortunately she hasn't.

"Rap Mon?" He popped his head up from the unusual nickname.

"Yeah, short for Rap Monster because you speak as though you've been rapping up lines.." As you were washing the glasses, NamJoon hummed in response to this.

"In any case, I refuse to believe it! I think this whole thing is an illusion, as though we are living in an Alternate Universe and that Demian is really who I think he is, but in a different universe!"

NamJoon stormed out of his chair, slapping his cash on the bar counter.

"I'll be back with more theories on this! Something's fishy here.. I refuse to believe this!"

"Okay sir--"

"It's RapMon--" He accidentally blurted the wrong name.

"Okay Rap Mon. When you return, I'll be sure to make you another dose of Absinthe except with a touch of Fire."

Namjoon waved me off before shutting the doors behind him, earning a look of bewilderement from Soon.

"So, have you made an enemy or a friend this time?"

I only shrugged my shoulders.

"Who knows, we'll have to wait till he returns.."

Preview of the next chapter:

His attention went towards me, looked me up and down, sensing I was the one he was really looking for. He glared at me and pointed his finger at me accusingly, "You!"

"Well, you did ask for me...right?"

"Stay away from hyung!"
