Beer and Spicy Rice Cakes

First part of the Beverage-Series

Seoul, South Korea. Inbetween of skyscrapers and millions of people, there are two people who somehow seem to always hit the Rock Bottom of life. Mentally, financially, always down to do whatever it takes to somehow get through the day.
Kim Jaehyun, who barely hit the 25-Years-Barrier last year, is one of these two people. With his parents deceased in a car accident two days after his fourteenth birthday, no closer family nearby and no place to go, he hit point zero when he dropped out of highschool to become one of Koreas famous idols. Obviously without any further success. He is talented, of course, but there always seemed to be people who were more talented, more handsome, more easygoing and stress-free. And after one of countless auditions he participated in, he got to a point where he just somehow gave up on his dream. Working in one out of a million convenience stores in Seoul, he started to spend almost all of his income in things, that would finally take away all of his pain...
But something in his live started to change, without him realizing it, when he met Choi Jimin, who seemed to go through all and the same problems he knew from his everyday life.
