Why do people do the things they do? Why do we really hurt those we care about?
Life's lessons can be harsh and misunderstandings can tear us apart. When communication breaks down - will we be able to fix the damage we've caused or are the rifts too...
Kim Mitzuki hurried through his morning routine to get ready for one of his jobs, 'Damn! Knew I shouldn't've stayed up,' He cursed, he was running late for his shift at Wàng Jī Lǚdiàn because he'd stayed up late studying (again).
Kim Mitzuki is a proud part time student who has two part time jobs, this doesn't leave a lot of time to do other stuff but he enjoys his jobs and his University courses. Mitzuki's aiming to get a full scholarship at the local University during their next intake for either Dance or Literature and though he'd really, really love some time off the bills don't take a break just because he wants one.
"My shift at Wàng Jī finished at two this morning but then I went and studied 'til I fell asleep on my damn books, gotta admit 'Ki, not the smartest thing you've done this week but it's for extra credit so suck it up." He muttered to the room. Wearing fitting black slacks and a loose white shirt, he brushed his hair back. Taking a final glance in the mirror to check his appearance he winked at the brunette reflected there - blowing him a kiss Mitzuki closed the door and raced downstairs to his job tonight at the Wàng Jī Bar.
Dancing to the music coming from down at the bar the light brunette grabbed his apron from off its hook as he shimmied a few steps past the boss. Dodging their delivery girl on her way out with an early order for one of the offices nearby, Mitzuki grabbed his brunette co-worker and danced a few steps with him to the music as he called to the Manager,
"Lan Wuxian, Sir, I'm sorry I'm late! I studied too long this morning and slept over." Mitzuki released his fellow bartender and hastily tied the apron strings around his waist, tucking the ends into the pocket he making sure there was a working pen and fresh order pad. He tossed a wink to his co-worker, Jinhong Eijirou as if saying 'thanks for the dance!'
"Can you make it up at the end of your shift?" Lan Wuxian called back and the brunette in question shot him a brilliant smile,
"Sure can!" Mitzuki grinned and nodded,
"You're a good kid, Kim." the Manager called back.
Everyone got along well with Lan Wuxian and Lan Yibo because they were truly wonderful people. The Lan's treated all their employees like family and that made the workplace feel less like work and more like play - it had the best atmosphere and was the best place to be. Tonight Mitzuki was feeling good. He was absolutely positive he was going to ace the test coming up, was feeling well rested and happy.
"What's got you in such a good mood today Suki?" the brunette asked.
"Eiji! Gonna ace this test coming up. Feeling the vibes babe, just feelin' the vibes! You look smokin' hot today, you got a date after work or something?" Winking again and nudged his shoulder, grinning. Eijirou thought if he blushed any more he'd probably explode or his face would set itself on fire so Mitzuki couldn't help but to tease him some more.
"Aahh, I'm right aren't I? Who's the lucky person hot stuff?" Eijirou didn't get a chance to answer right away because more customers came to the bar and since customers were the reason Wàng Jī Lǚdiàn started in the first place, they both got to work cheerfully pulling beer and mixing drinks to go with the restaurant orders as well.
