5 : The Other Side

🍃

BRIAN P.O.V

The club music blasted loud as the DJ played those overrated songs, but a dash of remix to it, which to be honest made the song even more lit. Everyone in the club cheered for the DJ as they all started dancing like maniacs. Hours later, the music died down slowly to a more chill song than an intense bop. The DJ turn to his friend, telling him to take over as he'll go and grab a drink. When the friend shows an ok, the DJ walks down the booth and towards the bar, where his white haired friend is working at. The bartender sees the red hair, signalling him to sit at the stool in front of him.

"Hey Brian hyung! What would you like? It's on me." The bartender smiles at the older, which made the said man chuckles. He shakes his head, "You need to stop treating me Dowoon. You're going to go broke.", he jokes. Dowoon waves his hand in front of him, reassuring the older that it's fine. He serves the older his favorite alcohol, which Brian thanked the younger for.

"It's almost 3am Woon. Don't you have a deadline to meet? You sure you should be working tonight?" Brian asks as he sips on his drink, looking at the bartender in front of him. Dowoon sighs, cleaning the shot glasses.

"I'm having an artist block tonight, Brian hyung. So I'm trying to get out there and get some inspiration, you know." Dowoon says, putting the shot glasses on top of one another as he finishes cleaning them. Brian nods, swirling the liquid in his glass.

"Hey. You're not supposed to call me that, remember?" Brian looks at the younger as he realized the name he was being called with. Dowoon, laughs slightly, clasping his hand together in an apologetic way.

"Sorry Young K. I forgot aha" He emphasis on the name, cheekily smiling as he tilts his head sideways, looking at the red hair who scoffs at the younger's attempt of being cute. He places his glass on the table before standing up from his chair.

"I'm going to the restroom." He informs Dowoon so that the younger will then inform anyone who would be looking for him, aka the DJ. Dowoon turns to the other side of the bar when he heard someone ordering a drink from him.

The restroom door opens as Brian walks into it. He walks towards a stall, doing his business as usually. He then walks to the sink to wash his hands. He was interrupted mid-washing when he heard his phone's notification. Seeing how there were no tissue around, he just wipes his wet hands on his pants before grabbing his phone from the inner pocket of his leather jacket.

As he switches his phone on, seeing the message, he sighs, getting annoyed by the messenger. It was a girl from the club he met weeks ago who wouldn't leave him alone. He clearly showed no interest but the girl just kept pushing it. He didn't want to seem rude, so he suggested to just be friends, which the girl happily agreed to. Brian thought that would be the end of it, but oh is he so wrong.

And now it where it's at. The girl messages Brian almost every day. Asking him out though he had decline many times. He can see the girl had other intention which Brian is not comfortable with. He sighs, switching his phone off and putting it back in his pocket before leaning with his arms over the sink, head lowered.

"When will she ever get the hint..." He opens the tap water, rubbing some water through his fingers before rubbing his face with it slightly, to look somehow a little bit freshen up. He then looks up at the mirror, to fix his hair though was surprise by what he sees.

He sees a different person. A whole different person. The man had a blonde hair, and a brownish hoodie. Brian could see that he was drunk since his cheek is flush with pinkish tint. The male started to says some words, but Brian couldn't really catch it since he was slurring a lot, but then he suddenly sees the blonde boy posing for some reason.

"What the fuck", Brian spat out.

The bathroom door opens yet again as Brian walks out of the restroom. He sighs, still a bit stun by the encounter he had just now. Could that drunk blondie be from a different universe? Wait, is there such things as different universes? Brian shakes his head, knowing all too well that those conspiracies are just fake and not real. Dowoon waves his towards Brian when he sees the man walking his way. Brian sits back at his previous spot, chugging the alcohol in his hand.

"Wowow, what's the rush hyung?" The white haired male says after serving someone beside Brian. He chugs the last liquid down before placing the glass a bit harshly on the counter. He leans his head on his hand as he sighs, causing Dowoon to have a puzzle expression by the older's current mood. He looks at Dowoon, the younger smiling back innocently as a respond. He then looks into his empty glass before finally mutter the question he wants to ask the younger.

"Do you believe that there's another universe out there, Dowoon?" He says, expecting to get laughed at or judged by his younger friend, but instead he only got a wide smile with a gasps.

"No way! Do you believe in them too?!" Dowoon drops the towel that he uses to clean the counter, leaning over towards Brian with an excited expression. Brian backs up slightly, raising an eyebrow at the younger's words.

"Too?", he said in a questioning tone. Dowoon nods, clearing his throat before explaining the phenomenon of universes and how he believed there is one. He explains the theory that he had read online and from TV channels that talk about those conspiracies and such. Once he finished, Brian only gave a blank stare, not knowing if he should believe in what the younger said.

"That doesn't make sense" Brian sighs, ruffling his hair. Dowoon rolls his eyes as he groans telling the other that it's not as complicated as it seems. However, since Brian is a hard believer for these things, it makes it hard for him to accept it all without any scientific or logical explanation. If it's all just words and no concrete evidence, then why bother. Brian stands up from his seat, proceed to walk away from the bar.

"Where are you going Brian hyung? The DJ booth is over there." Brian who turns around upon hearing the younger's words.

"I'm going home. This whole night has been a headache for me. Peace", he shows a peace sign to Dowoon before leaving the club, not caring about his shift of being the DJ tonight. Dowoon began to panic since he's never been left alone in the club without Brian with him. He turns to his boss, telling him that he'll be leaving for the night before dashing towards the staff room. He runs out minutes later with his casual cloths rather than the classic bartender outfit before trying to catch up with Brian.
