The scars on our hearts (Yuwin)

Bartender for a day

After making sure everything was taken care of Johnny and Yuta excused themselves for work. In all honesty and for reasons Yuta can't explain, he had a hard time leaving Sicheng. But as with most emotions, he locked it up tight and forgot about it in favor of focusing on work. Johnny was quiet as he drove in the direction of the club and Yuta noticed almost immediately.
"So, what's with the silence?" Johnny chuckles.
"I don't know, I'm just thinking. I just feel so bad about Renjun's experiences. I wish there was some way to help him." He smiles sadly at Yuta, who looked thoughtful.
"Well, I know you pretty well I would say and from that I think you should just keep doing what you're doing. Just be there for him if he needs you to talk to or anything." Johnny nods in understanding as Yuta continues.
"You have the biggest heart almost to a fault. I'm sure you're capable of giving him the support he needs." Johnny could only smile proudly as Yuta squeezed his arm.
"So what about you? Why are you so intent on taking care of Sicheng?" Yuta looked at him with a blank stare. "I have my reasons." Johnny shook his head.
"And they are?" Yuta sighs looking out the window.
"My business." Johnny new it was time to shut up.

The club was at full swing only hours later and both found themselves in the thick of it. Johnny obviously doing his job as the head bouncer while Yuta was going over some documents.
After he could not take any more boredom Yuta decided it was time to check on things.
He walked slowly down the stairs to the main floor of the club to see that as far as he could tell everything was going great. Sweaty, drunk and horny people everywhere. Just what a club should be. He walked to the bar to see a girl running around like a mad woman getting drinks for seemingly impatient customers.
"Excuse me." He says waving her over.
"You're going to have to wait in line sir, I'm the only one working and I'm behind so please be patient" Yuta sat thoughtful for a minute when it finally dawned on him, he never got anyone to replace Sicheng.
He quickly jumped behind the bar strapping on an apron and started helping her out. She walked up to him, irritation clear on her face.
"This is for employees only. As much as I appreciate the help, I don't want to get in trouble so please exit the bar area." Yuta just laughed making her more angry in the process but before he could say anything she was waving like a mad woman behind him.
"Yah Johnny, this asshole won't get out of here and I told him to leave. Can you escort him please?" Johnny looked to the offender raising his eyebrow.
"Yuta, you're scaring the poor girl, what are you doing?" Now she's confused and looks between the two.
"She never let me explain so I just let her go off." He turns to her smiling wide.
"You can call me Mr. Nakamoto." She glares at him, then looks at Johnny who whisper shouts loud enough for both of them to hear.
"He owns the club." After finally closing her gaping mouth she turned her now red face to her boss, that she called an asshole only minutes ago.
"Um, I'm sorry, I didn't know who you were and I thought you were just some random dude trying to impress me or get free booze." Yuta chuckles and reaches out his hand to shake hers.
"I'm Yuta and it's no trouble, I'm glad to see you protective of my bar. What's you're name?" She blushes and holds his hand in hers.
"Jade, my usual partner in crime isn't here tonight. I'm actually really worried he left to take a break the other night and I haven't seen him since." She looked genuinely worried for her friend and smiled sadly.
"Sicheng? He's fine. He's at home resting, he can tell you more when he comes back but I put him on a temporary leave to recoup but I forgot to find a replacement so here I am I guess." He shrugged as Johnny snickered.
"Of course, Mr I'll take care of everything." Yuta shot him a playful glare.
"Yeah yeah. I was distracted. I already talked to Taeyong about his classes though so I'm working on it."
Jade was shocked to say the least, never in her wildest dreams did she think the elusive owner of this club would help her friend in such a way. Yuta, in a way liked to keep a low profile so that when he did check on things people acted as they normally would around him so he could see exactly what was going on.
"I will make some calls tomorrow and get someone to replace him for a while, but for now we better serve these people before they turn into an angry mob." And just like that they were fighting together to keep from drowning in all the orders being thrown there way.
After things had calmed down some Yuta decided he would try to get information on Sicheng from someone he may have been close with.
"So how long have you two worked together? Is Sicheng a good worker? I've never seen him in action and it seems he was sick for quite a while, how did he hold up for these long shifts?" He wanted to ask more but the chuckle leaving Jade's lips stopped him momentarily.
"I've worked with him for a few months? I'm not sure, I can't remember the exact date. He's so sweet, but quiet. He always talks about his roommate Taeyong and how he tries really hard to befriend and help him with things. I don't really know what he's helping with but I see guilt in his eyes when he talks about it." She can see Yuta visibly soften at hearing this, but she's not sure why.
"Don't worry though, he's one of your most dedicated employees even though he never really looks healthy." Yuta now cringes, he knows obviously why but it's hard hearing it from someone else.
"The other night was the first time he ever left a shift, so don't even think about firing him."
Yuta chuckles .
"It's nice to know you care so much, I don't think he has many friends." She smiles warmly.
"Really it's the quality not the quantity and I'm a top of the line!" She exclaimed rather cockily.
"So what's your deal? Madly in love or pity?" Yuta took some offense to this but answers anyway.
"As much as it's not your business I'll tell you that I certainly don't pity him." He walked away somewhat annoyed but she just smiled knowing that he was most probably smitten. She decides she doesn't know him well enough to tease him so she minds her business and serves another customer.
The night drug on, Yuta thought he would die but it finally came to an end and he wondered if it was too late or early to call Sicheng.
"Of course it's too late go home get some sleep then call him in the morning." He said this out loud to himself as he cleaned up the bar with jade, he would end up repeating it three times before he finally slept that night.
