Chapter 14
Aphrodite II
Tzuyu entered the Blue Bar Ocean. It was his first time stepping into a bar. He looked around and saw a few people drinking. Some of them were happy, some of them were feeling depressed and sad. He walked towards the counter and took a seat.
"What would you like to drink, sir?" the bartender asked
He didn't know any of the drinks because he never tried it before. Then he some bottles arranged neatly on the counter. He looked at it one by one.
"Vodka please" said Tzuyu
The bartender just nodded and walked away to prepare a small glass of Vodka for him. He looked around him. Seeing people drinking away. Suddenly a man approached him and took a seat beside him.
"Surprising to see Chou Tzuyu in a bar"
Tzuyu turned to look at that man. He was wearing spectacles. The center of his head was bald. He only have hair surrounding the sides of it.
"I am surprised by myself either" Tzuyu replied heartlessly
"There you go sir" the bartender handed him one small glass of Vodka
Tzuyu took the glass and poured it into his mouth. He then closed his eyes tightly feeling the liquid flowing through his throat. At the same time it made his head feel pain. But overall, he felt satisfied.
"Wooh!" He couldn't handle the taste of it since he was not a drinker
"I guess it's your first time drinking alcohol, Tzuyu shi?" the man asked
"So this is the taste" Tzuyu looked at the now empty small glass
"Feels good huh?"
"Heck yeah" Tzuyu smirked.
The man sensed that Tzuyu was not in a normal state anymore. One shot of Vodka is too strong for someone who never touched alcohol before.
"Say, why don't you try some beer? My treat" the man grinned
Tzuyu looked at him and just nodded. Tzuyu felt his head was already dizzy.
The man called the bartender.
"Two glass of beers please"
Then the man signalled the bartender to come closer him so he can whisper something. The bartender obliged.
"Make his, Jack Daniel" the man whispered
The bartender just obeyed whatever costumers asked for. So the bartender gave them both a glass full of beer. Except for Tzuyu's. It wasn't just an ordinary beer, Tzuyu's drink was Jack Daniel.
Tzuyu took a sip of it. The taste of it made him shut his eyes tightly. It was strong for him.
"Feels good?" the man asked
"Satisfying" Tzuyu was getting drunk
"So tell me Tzuyu shi. What are you doing here at 3 in the morning? Celebrating your yesterday's victory?" the man sneaked his hand into his own pocket. Then he pressed something to turn it on. It was a recorder. He was recording his conversation with Tzuyu.
"Nah. I fought with my wife" Tzuyu hiccuped
"What's the reason?"
"I don't know" Tzuyu hiccuped some more.
"She cheated on me?"
"Let's put your wife aside first. Let's talk about, the fight happened yesterday at Seoul University"
"Aah you're talking about the jerk who hugged my wife?" Tzuyu rolled his eyes
"So that's where it all started. You beat that guy very hard. The video of the fight is now all over on Youtube"
"Wow. So fast. I shouldn't stop beating him. I should murder him. How dare he touch my wife" Tzuyu hiccuped again
"Yes, that's true. So tell me more about it"
Tzuyu unknowingly told that man everything. He didn't notice that their conversation was recorded. Of course he couldn't bare to be alert because he was already drunk.
***************
Meanwhile at Matthew's apartment, "Aish, I can't sleep" Matthew had been lying on the bed while staring at the ceiling ever since after his conversation with his cousin, Jeongyeon. He straightened his back and exited the room. He made his way to the guest room where Jeongyeon was sleeping. He was about to knock on the door but he heard his cousin talking to someone in there. "Hey Nayeon. Please call me. Please" Looks like Jeongyeon had been trying to call Nayeon but got rejected again. Even though it was 3.30 in the morning, his cousin can't even sleep. Matthew lied against the wall and just hear Jeongyeon trying to call Nayeon. "Hi again. Can we at least talk about it? It's all just a misunderstanding. Call me, or text me. Bye" Then, Jeongyeon called again. "Nayeon, babe, I wanna see you. I miss you" He called again. "Nayeon, please. Answer me. I feel like dying here. I love you" Matthew sighed. He went back into his room. He grabbed his phone and searched a certain someone in his contact list. He found it and pressed 'call' button. It didn't take long until the phone was picked up. "Hello?" "Mina shi. Sorry to wake you up" "What do you want?" "Let's... let's cancel the partnership" *************** Back at Blue Bar Ocean, "Hahah! Did you see his face? He was so scared of me! Hahaha!" "I know Tzuyu shi! It's all very clear in the videos! Hahah in his face!" Tzuyu and the man were both already drunk. Tzuyu had totally lost his mind. "Hey you! Refill!" the man called the bartender The bartender took their glasses and replaced with new ones just like before. Suddenly, a group of guys from upstairs were walking downstairs. They were so noisy. "Tzuyu shi, aren't those your team mates?" the now drunk man asked
