"You're applying for the job? What are you going to do?"
The man asked, raising an eyebrow. It wouldn't be right to say that he didn't stand out with his neatly combed-back hair and black suit.
"I..."
Yun didn't hesitate.
"..."
He does not know.
He can't be a bartender, he doesn't know the least about alcoholic beverages.
An escort can not be at all, she does not like to be close to anyone.
"Protection?" It could be, right???
Unfortunately, this was the only short-term job that wouldn't conflict with his current job.
"Protection ?" The man repeated and surveyed her slender body with doubtful eyes.
Her gaze froze on her face, then she stroked her hand with her chin and focused.
While he was busy calculating his current earnings as a businessman, his face under the mask was also quite curious.
With this temperament, this person shouldn't be here. The eyes are expressionless and silent. He stood there silently with a sense of alienation that indicated he did not belong in this place. His spine was always straight, his subconscious habitual behavior simply reflected the person's temperament.
"How would you like to be a bartender?" After all, this sense of mystery was quite pleasant and remarkable. The man didn't hesitate to want to use it.
"I don't know, I have no experience"
Briefly and unequivocally denied.
"You can learn," he replied calmly.
"Training takes a long time and my job is urgent"
The man narrowed his eyes. While he was unwilling to let go of this opportunity, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind. He asked with bright eyes.
"How would you like to be a representative?"
"Representative?"
"Yes, you will organize everything here. You will solve the problems, arrange the employees, be in charge of the environment, and most importantly, you will be a kind of mascot. From the event to be experienced at the bar, the music to be played, the decorations and works! What do you think?"
The man was grinning with great happiness and dreams as if he wanted to throw all the work on himself. Although Yun thought it was interesting, he also knew that it was quite a difficult business.
"Wage ?"
"3500 if you handle it properly"
"4000" Yun calmly raised the price.
The man's eye twitched at the boy's unchanging expressionless tone.
"If you don't do your job properly, I'll cut you off from your paycheck!" He took out the prepared agreement by stating that he accepted it.
Seeing the amount already written on it, she understood why the man had accepted the price increase so easily.
"5000?"
A high amount.
More than enough for a newcomer.
Ignoring my questioning expression, he sipped some of the red wine in his hand.
I focused on the terms of the agreement.
It was the first time I was going to sign a business contract and I had repeated it at least 3 times before I realized what was good and what was bad.
I didn't see much of a problem. Nevertheless, I approached cautiously and asked the opinion of my site.
[7. The item may cause some trouble]
Article 7: As a member of Star Club, the employee must do all his work here.
He said calmly, looking at the man.
"I have a second job"
The man paused for a moment and remained silent until he realized he was talking about Article 7.
"It's okay as long as you don't work at another bar and take it seriously"
He was working at the cafe, so this shouldn't be a problem.
No, he had to be sure.
"I work at the cafe."
"As long as that doesn't interfere with your work, it's fine," he replied calmly.
After reading the agreement, he briefly understood why the man gave 5000.
First of all, it was too much responsibility.
Secondly, the contract was only monthly. It had to be renewed every month, and if it wasn't, you were considered out of business.
In short, 5000 lire for one time to try it shouldn't be heavy for a person like him who earns thousands every day.
After reviewing the contract again, he thought it was okay and signed it, and after getting a copy himself, he started his first job today.
"By the way"
"Remove the paint," he said, staring at my hair.
Was it obvious it was painted?
He said, "Very poor quality," as if hearing his inner voice.
So it was obvious?
I frowned slightly.
The white hair was the problem, but Ji didn't think his family would be able to find him anyway.
Who pays attention to a small worker in a small bar?
But Yun would soon realize that he was wrong.
***
11:22
The crowded atmosphere, the flashy dress of the people, the people flirting in one corner, dancing in the other corner, and drinking in another...
Neon lights flicker wildly, bodies dance to the music like crazy.
A handsome bartender gently wipes glasses, staff clears empty tables all the time.
It's a relatively neat place.
Seeing this, Yun nodded in agreement.
Moving music is the kind that separates the soul from the body, there are all kinds of madness and excitement. No wonder people love this place.
It was a really good environment to relieve stress.
The bar was also good. He was a careful and decent servant. He didn't need to worry about it, as there was no shortage of work.
He slowly made his way to the bathroom.
The men's restroom was also clean.
Clean place down to the sinks, seriously the bar is well run.
As she was about to leave the bathroom, she heard a hiccup.
Someone crying?
He paused and moved towards the sound. If there was a problem, he should have intervened, he could not allow any fight due to his job.
His lips twitched at the sight of the two people by the urinal, and he turned away, ignoring them. Same-sex couples were not uncommon.
"D-Stop! Help!"
This time his eyes twitched.
Wasn't there anything in the deal that the couples were supposed to break up their quarrel?
"There are empty rooms upstairs"
The bar consisted of two floors. The first floor was open to the public, while the second floor had private rooms. Inevitable...
"No, please help" I looked at the person who was trembling. The area around his eyes was red.
Well, harassment?
Or a couple's fight?
When I studied the man's face, I could feel his hopeful gaze on me.
"Fuck off, don't spoil our good work!"
He began to scold with a slightly drunken tone.
A slight expression of disgust lasted for a second as the eyes of the person asking for help returned to the man.
But he caught it even for 1 second.
Abuse.
It cannot allow this. Not because he's supposed 'just' but because he has to settle disputes in the bar.
"Sir, please release the child"
Judging by the appearance of the person asking for help, he was not even a minor. That's why he couldn't ignore it anyway. If the police caught him, he would be severely punished.
Is it him?
Even though Yun was 17 years old, he was an adult with an ID issued by the system.
Well boy...
How did he get here?
He remembered the guards at the door, quite cautious and deterrent.
"Who the hell are you-" The man then turned angrily and fell silent when he saw the person speaking.
The white silver hair was side-swept back and structured with spray. A few strands of hair falling on the forehead added a different air.
The black mask on his face made his blue eyes and white skin more prominent.
Yun didn't want to meddle in anyone's "good deeds" if possible, but he couldn't ignore a job that would be moved to the police.
He doesn't want to lose his hard-earned job.
But her mouth twitched when she saw the man who was supposed to start a fight staring at her in surprise.
"Sir, are you okay?" He calmly asked the man who was looking at him.
"H-hh? I-I'm fine," he had let go of the boy without realizing it and straightened himself up.
She didn't expect this, she thought the man would cause some trouble. He took out the radio given by the bar and called the security guard. The boy was as underage as he had anticipated and was quickly driven from the bar, as he approached the man, he dutifully followed after Yun. "Sir, you must be uncomfortable, should I make room for you to rest?" After staring in surprise for a while, she suddenly blushed and said, "He-make a room?" he said timidly.
Yun "..."
Seriously drunk.
"Or let me call your parents? Let them pick you up"
"Family…my family…" he muttered.
"Shall I accompany you to the taxi?"
He focused on me with bright eyes.
So this is...
Do you mean yes?
He shook his head.
It made me speechless as he quietly followed me as I slowly made my way toward the exit.
After leaving the man in the taxi, he grabbed my arm and tugged as I was about to turn around and walk towards the bar. "Don't go…" she looked at him with pleading eyes.
Yun "..."
Gradually, I was seriously beginning to admire my patience.
As my eyes twitched, "Okay sir, close your eyes. I'm not going." He gently closed his eyes. Still, he wouldn't let go of my arm.
"Let go"
He didn't let go.
"You will always be in my heart" he let go slowly.
Bah, it's seriously gross.
I couldn't believe I was saying this.
Anyway, convincing a kid was a little difficult.
He's an older "boy" than me.
God bless your mother!!!
When the taxi left, I slowly walked through the door.
I...
Did I come wrong?
What happened in those two minutes he was out?
It would not be an exaggeration to say that the apocalypse has broken out.
