Chapter 5

Taehyung blinked as yet another glass of red wine was placed before him. It had been his 3rd glass of the cherry red liquor this evening. He was currently in a bar somewhere in Seoul to properly celebrate his promotion together with Lisa.

The bar on the inside looked pretty nice. It was a small bar with wooden walls and floors, on the right side was a huge bar situated and right next to it where some boots. On the left side was a huge dancefloor which was filled with people dancing like there was no tomorrow. Some of them performed some crazy moves while others actually looked like they knew what they were doing. Even though the place was pretty busy it gave of a cozy and warm feeling, and Taehyung wouldn't mind it if he would come here more often.

The moment Taehyung had told Lisa about his promotion she had insisted on taking him somewhere to properly celebrate the fact that he finally got a big case. But due to the fact that the young lawyer was really busy with work ever since he got his promotion she wasn't able to do so until five days later. Even though Taehyung wasn't really the type to party and become drunk he did like spending time with Lisa, and ever since the young lawyer had gotten the case he had been super busy which resulted in him barely seeing his best friend. Ofcourse Lisa understood, but the brown haired boy couldn't help but feel guilty towards her. Nevertheless he was happy with every moment that he did get to spend with her, which is why he agreed to come here tonight.

The two best friends where seated across each other in a small wooden booth with red soft cushions on the seats. In the middle of the table stood a small candle with a vase with red colored flowers in it next to it. Even though the flowers were clearly fake, it did look nice on the table and gave Taehyung a warm feeling.

"So, mister super busy, tell what you have been up to this week." Lisa said as she smiled at him. It was one of the things Taehyung loved so much about Lisa, her smile. The receptionist had the kind of smile that could brighten a whole room. The blonde girl never seemed to be in a bad mood and always found a way to lighten up any situation. Whenever Taehyung was sad or stressed she always told him' why be sad when you can be happy, don't overthink things Tae. It hasn't done anyone good before you know' all while she had that beautiful smile plastered of her face.

"Well, I worked om my case a lot, it's a though one" Taehyung said and looked down. The case itself was indeed hard, with the evidence against Jungkook being overwhelming. But the fact that the inmate hadn't done anything to help him and instead just decided to mess with him made it even worse. The boy's behavior had been stressing out Taehyung for the past couple of days. How in the world was he supposed to defend someone who just straight up admitted he had done everything he was being accused of? How for gods sake would The young lawyer be able to plead him innocent when the raven haired prisoner even told him he was proud of every single thing he did.

"ahw poor Tae, im sure you will figure it out though, you always do". The blonde girl before him said as she picked up her glass and took a sip of her wine. "I sure hope so". Taehyung answered her, uncertainty lacing his voice. Lisa had no idea who his client was and he was keen on keeping it that way. The moment he would tell her she would be worried to death, which was something the young lawyer wanted to avoid at all costs. He decided to do this case, so Jungkook was his burden.

Taehyung smiled at the blonde girl and picked up his glass of red wine to take a sip out of it. As the cherry red liquor touched his tongue he couldn't help but feel some sort of relieve. Wine always made him lose some stress and today was no exception. He definitely wasn't planning on becoming drunk, he just wanted to relax for a bit before he had to go back to his hectic life.

"So have you already seen someone you like?" Lisa said which shook the young lawyer out of his thoughts. As the question processed in his mind Taehyung grew a questioning look his face. "what do you mean?" he said while he looked at the blonde girl in front of him and she quickly took a small sip out of her glass.
