It’s You - isitmoony - Stray Kids (Band) [Archive of Our Own] (2024)

"Hey, can I have one tequila sunrise with double shot of tequila?" A young man shouted at me from the edge of the bar.

"Sure thing, anything else for you?" I looked at the young man on my left. He was quite tall, taller than me I would say. He had brown hair that hung over his shoulders. His camera was hanging across his body. He had black sweatshirt with red and white stripes on the arms which complemented the black pants.

"No, that's all for now, thanks." He smiled softly. I just nodded and started doing the co*cktail. I took the tall glass and filled it with ice, then i poured two shots of tequila, two cups of orange juice and cup and half of grenadine.

"Do you want a slice of orange on top of that?" I looked at him waiting for answer.

"No need, thanks. How much is it?" He reached into his pocket and pulled out his wallet.

"It will be 8 600 won." I took the cashier from under the bar. He handed me 10 000 bill.

"It's okay, have nice day." He took his drink, smiled and left the bar. His steps led to a table by the window, where a random man was sitting with whom he started talking. I didn't look into it further and continued with my work.

"Hey Chris, take a break for 20 minutes. It's an order!" Changbin shouted at me. I don't like to take breaks when bar is full.

"Hey, you know I hate to take a break when is full." I yelled at him.

"Man, just go out for a cigarette and make it back. You're worse than child." He rolled his eyes and continued with preparing drinks.

"Fine, I'll make it a 10 minutes. No, more!" I yelled at him while I was making my way out from the bar.

"Okay." Was the last thing I heard before the door closed.

Where I put my pack of cigarettes. I began to think as I searched my pockets. God damn, don't tell me I left them inside. Damn it. I went back inside and tried to get through the bunch of people. As I was trying to get out of the crowd, I bumped into someone.

"Oh, I'm so sorry." I said right away. I looked at the person I bumped into. It was the man who wanted tequila sunrise with two shots of tequila.

"Oh, it's okay. I should watch out." He laughed.

"No, I should watch where I'm going. Are you leaving?" He looked surprised by the question.

"Just going out for a cigarette." He didn't look like someone who smokes.

"I was planning too, but then I realised I left the cigarettes on the bar." I laughed.

"I can give you one if you don't mind blue menthol marlboro." I have never heard of this type of cigarettes, but I don't care if I don't have to go back. Plus I will have a good company.

"I don't mind." We headed out of the bar. It was late, so there were just drunken people wandering around. Nothing surprising for me.

"Here." That brought me back from my thoughts.

"Thank you, uhm- What's your name?" I smiled.

"It's Hyunjin, yours?" He put the cigarette to his mouth and lit it. He had a lighter with an Eiffel Tower.

"Christopher. Thank you Hyunjin for the cigarette." Hyunjin handed him the lighter.

"No problem, you look like a nice guy." He took a drag from his cigarette.

"Thanks, you look like a nice guy too." I gave him back the lighter.

"Have you been to Paris?" He looked at me confused.

"The lighter you had an Eiffel Tower there." I took a drug from my cigarette. It tasted good surprisingly. I'm not a fan of these cigarettes.

"Oh, I have never been there, but I would like to visit one day. What about you, have you been there?" He looked at me and took a drug from his cigarette.

"No, me neither. But as well I would like to visit one day." I took a last drag from my cigarette and stubbed it out in the ashtray.

"I'll have to go back. I hope to hear from you Hyunjin." I turned and went back inside. The menthol taste of the cigarette was still on my lips.

"Woah Christopher, who was that?" Changbin immediately started asking me a thousand questions.

"I don't know. A customer?" I was enjoyed. He always asks me these questions when he spots me with someone.

"Common Chris, you can do better." He tried to convince me to tell him more.

"I really don't know what you want to hear from me man. I met him tonight, here. We went out for a cigs because i forget mine. He offered me a cig." I sighed. Two more hours and I can go home.

"Hey, two vodka shots." Someone shouted at me.

"Sure, anything else?" I looked at them.

"No, that's it." It was a old man.

"It'll be 9 400 won." He handed me a credit card.

"Make it 10 000 won." And winked at me.

I turned to the cash register. Ewww, no f*cking way that this old man winked at me. He barely had any hair. I tapped in the selected amount and swiped the credit card.

"Thank you." I said to him politely and gave him back his credit card with receipt.

He took his drink and left the bar.

"Hey Christopher." A voice came around the bar. I looked at that way. It was him.

"Hey Hyunjin." He looked little drunk. He had lean on the bar to support his stability.

"Are you up for another cigarette? Maybe some shooting?" He pointed to the camera on his left side.

"Yeah, just wait a second I need to ask Changbin if he doesn't mind." I wanted to ask him, but he appeared out of nowhere.

"Hey, sure he can go with you. What's your name? Christopher couldn't tell me." He punched my shoulder and walked towards Hyunjin.

I just sighed at his words.

"It's Hyunjin and you are Changbin? The one Christopher needed to ask." He said with a laugh.

"That's right, nice to meet you Hyunjin." Changbin walked up to him and they slapped each other's hands in greeting.

"I will be back in 10 minutes." I walked around the bar to Hyunjin.

"Don't forget your cigarettes man." Changbin laughed at me.

"Thanks." I grabbed them from him and tried to get out of the crowd. It's fuller here than an hour ago.

"Don't loose in the crowd." I shouted at the young man behind me.

"Don't worry." And grabbed my wrist. We made our way out of the bar.

"Finally, I think there are more people than before." I started laughing.

"For sure, yeah." He started searching in his pockets for a cigarettes.

"What are you up to for tonight?" I was curious.

“I went out to clear my mind.” He finally found his pack of cigarettes. He took one out and the rest put back in his pocket. He looked at me and smiled. He took a drug from his cigarette and handed me lighter.

“Thanks.” I laughed and lit my cigarette.

“And did it help?” I looked at him. I studied his face. He has such a clear skin. Brown eyes with two cute moles above his left eye. A horizontal eyebrow piercing on right side and on the same side he has lip piercing. He looks so gorgeously.

“It did sort of.” He looked at me with a smile.

I just noded and took another drug from my cigarette.

“Tell me Hyunjin, have you ever thought about how small the world really is?” I thought about it a lot.

“Not really, have you ever thought about it?” He looked at me with interest.

“I thought about it, actually I think about it quite a lot.”

He smiled. “Can you give me your number?” He handed me his phone.

I gave him my number. “Do you want me to type my nickname or you have something on your mind?”

“Philosopher, it’s almost like Christopher.”

“Text me so I can save your number.” I handed him back his phone and he sent me a message.

Unknown number

Hey
Seen
Nickname set to “Handsome Artist”

“All set.” I laughed.

“What nickname you gave me?” He was curious and tried to look into my phone.

“Secret.” I got up. I need to go back in.

“Where are you going?” He looked at me.

“I need to go back in to help Changbin. I’ll text you later, okay?” I tried to reassure him.

“Fine, I had fun.” He waved at me.

I went inside. There were significantly fewer people. I sighed. That means we are closing soon.

“You’re back, finally. So what about Hyunjin?” He poked me to the rib.

“What about him? We were just chilling.” I grabbed empty glasses from the bar and I washed them right away.

“Bro I can tell that you’re so done with him. I get it. He is HANDSOME.” He yelled with excitement.

“Maybe I am. And yes, he is really handsome.” I smiled. That motherf*cker knows me really well.

“I knew it.” He jumped at my shoulders.

“I hate you.” I yelled with smirk.

“I love you too.” He yelled and disappeared into the half-empty bar.

I washed everything I could, now it’s time to clean the tables. I filled the bucket with water and soap, took a cloth and went to wipe the tables. Changbin was ready to start mopping the floor. He always danced and sang along to it.

“퀸카 I'm hot
My boob and booty is hot
Spotlight 날 봐
I'm a star, star, star
퀸카 I'm top
I'm twerkin' on the runway
I am a 퀸카
You wanna be the 퀸카?”

This one was his favourite. I already learned the choreography from how often he played it here. But I secretly like it. But I won't admit it to Changbin.

“All done?” I asked when I finished wiping.

“I think we’re done for tonight.”

“Finally.” We went outside and I locked it.

“So jeongin is here with you tomorrow? Aren't you afraid to be here with him after what happened between you?” That week it was terrible.

“Yes Chris, we talked about it. Plus someone new has to come here, so I’ll have work to do.” He rolled his eyes.

“Okay, I was just checking on you.” I punched him in the shoulder.

“I know.” He smiled and hugged me. “See you on friday.” He walked away from me and got into his car. I waited until he left.

I went to my motorcycle. I took my helmet out of my backpack and put it on my head. I put my backpack on my back and looked at my phone before I started driving.

I smiled and put my phone in to my pocket. I started
and drove out of the parking lot.
