"Hyung! You are back", Yu Seok's lips tipped up as he leaned back slightly.
Kim Ha Jun leaned slightly on the counter, he looked down at Yu Seok, "Should you be here after your scandal".
Yu Seok took a few sips of his drink and frowning slightly, he replied, "well you can just see it as my way of keeping a low profile. I am trying to obey Director Choi's order".
"You are keeping a low profile at a club", Kim Ha Jun looked around the room, there were only ten people in the room. Five excluding himself and the bar staff and the three security guards standing by the door.
"Although there are only a few people present, this is still a bar. You could get photographed on your way out, coming here was not a good idea".
Yu Seok glanced at him silently for a few seconds before looking away, "I had a horrible day, Hyung. Give me a break".
CURFEW was a pretty popular club and like most clubs, there were a few VIP rooms. This was the VIP Bar located in the same building as the club.
The Exclusive Bar was an exclusive bar that is accessed mainly by invitation. Kim Ha Jun nodded at one of the male bartenders to take over for him behind the bar.
He stepped out of the bar as the bartender stepped in, he placed a hand on Yu Seok's shoulder, "Hey, let's take this to my office. I doubt you want to have an audience".
Yu Seok glanced behind him at the four other guests in the room, the two guests in the Booth by his right were two male guests.
They were a couple because of her close they sat to each other while the other guest on the other end of the bar was bent over as he nosed a drink.
Seated on the stool beside him was another idol who was typing furiously on his phone. Although the exclusive bar offered some privacy compared to the normal bar. It was wise to be careful, in the industry the sale of information was a highly profitable business.
Yu Seok picked up his glass of wine and followed Kim Ha Jun into his office behind the bar. It was a cosy little soundproof room, lining the wall behind his desk was a fully stocked shelf of drinks.
Opposite the slim brown table was a small formal lounge with black connected cushioned couches forming a small square with a round glass table at the centre. The lounge overlooked the bubbling streets below and the buildings opposite the club.
Yu Seok ran his hands through the glass name plaque on his desk, lips curved up as he brought his glass of whiskey close to his lips.
"This view always gets to me, maybe I should buy an apartment around here", he took a sip of his drink.
Kim Ha Jun chuckled as he walked to the small bar at one corner of the lounge and took out a bottle of whiskey, gin, vodka, Lillet Blanc and some ice. He brought out a mixing bottle and two glasses.
He made a glass of Vespa for himself and another glass of whiskey for Yu Seok. He handed the new glass of whiskey to Yu Seok, picked up his glass of Vespa and sat on the couch.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you, except you do not value your privacy. Stick to your penthouse".
Yu Seok smiled as he sat opposite Ha Jun, he looked around and muttered under his breath, "I never should have gone to Sky lounge that night."
Hajun quickly glanced at him, "was that where it happened, tsk tsk, What happened to the anonymity of your VIP guests. I was wondering how you got yourself a girlfriend, I guess it was the quickest fix your PR team could think of".
"Yes", Yu Seok replied rolling his eyes and drank a few sips of his drink
"Well at least you got yourself a cute girlfriend"
Yu Seok's hands tighter on the glass, "I prefer not to share my woman with other men, that is Director Choi's style, not mine".
Hajun nearly choked on the drink, he brought down the glass of wine and covered his mouth with his free hand as he coughed.
When the painful itch in his throat subsided, he rubbed his chest, "that took me by surprise, so the article was right? how unexpected" he gazed at Yu Seok, "I guess Director Choi's orders were a form of revenge. You are not one to cheat how did you get into this mess?"
"I was drunk and didn't know better, plus their relationship was kept a secret. It was an honest mistake, Hyung! She has been coming on to me for weeks, it was a drunken mistake" Yu Seok lamented.
"Mistake or not, you got caught. Wasn't Cheng Ying also involved in this too? You both messed up but unlike Cheng Ying, your face got plastered on every gossip website put there so he can only take it out on you. Next time, don't drink so much" Kim Ha jun tipped his glass up and drank slowly.
"You are lucky he didn't punch you, I would have beaten you to pop just because of that. Then I will break up with her, she is no good".
Yu Seok stared at Kim Ha Jun's toned muscular arms for a few seconds then shook his head and muttered "it is a good thing that it wasn't you. No that I will ever make such a mistake".
Kim Ha jun gave him a side glance, lips curved up at Yu Seok's sour expression.
two fresh glasses later, Yu Seok placed his empty glass on the table and fixed a gaze at him, "It is good to see that you are taking your break up well".
"I guess it is my turn now that we are done with your problem", He nodded and drank up the rest of the drink in his glass and placed his glass opposite his and glared at him.
"Let's not go there.... ever." He stood, picked up the empty glasses and brought them to the bar, "You cannot drive back, I will call one of my reliable substitute drivers to send you back home".
Yu Seok let out a dry laugh and glanced at him, "You have to stop avoiding your issues, Hyung. It is not healthy".
Kim Ha Jun just ignored him and called the substitute driver. Twenty minutes later the driver arrived, Yu Seok gave him a side hug and left. A few minutes after he left Kim Ha Jun walked to his desk.
He pulled open one of the drawers and pulled out a folded photograph of Jang-mi and himself at the beach.
He rubbed his thumb on her face with a slight smile for a few minutes before returning the picture into the drawer and shutting the drawer.
