CHAPTER 6: Reality

17:45

As the other restaurants started to be busy, Ha Signature restaurant already put a "Close" sign on the main door. The owner deliberately chose the consumer market in the morning until afternoon. Not because the results of market research show so, but because the owner doesn't like to work at night. For her, at night should be used to relax.

Although not open until evening, Ha Signature restaurant always looks crowded by customers. Not even at general meals time, there are customers who stop by and order food at the restaurant. Of course it's because the deliciousness of the dishes and it tastes like home cooking. The taste that is missed by many nomads in the capital city like Seoul.

The restaurant's open schedule which only until late afternoon also benefited its employees. They can do other activities in the evening according to their hobbies, such as Jaehwan who often join a music performance in cafe, Jihoon with practice boxing, or Woojin by practicing dance with his group. Daniel also has an agenda after the restaurant closed. He quite often went to visit Dongho, the owner of a motorbike service station near the restaurant.

"Oi, Niel!" Dongho greeted Daniel as soon as he saw Niel getting into the garage.

"You're alone, hyung? The others have gone home?" Daniel asked the built man who was busy fiddling with the bike.

"Yeah. That's why I ask you to come here often. To keep me company while others are busy with their own agenda. "

Dongho's answer made Daniel chuckle. Perhaps if it's only a glimpse, the grim-faced man with tattoos all over his body would look like a mafia gang member who could crush an enemy in one punch. But that doesn't apply to Daniel. He had known Dongho for a long time, and understood that he really isn't scary as he looks like. Daniel even once, saw Dongho shedding tears when finding his fish dead.

"You should also start looking for your own agenda, Hyung. Find a lover! Don't just busy dating Tiger." Daniel replied, commenting Dongho who was busy modifying Tiger, his favorite motorbike.

"Hey, don't tease me, you punk! Isn't there a mirror in your house?" Dongho teased back Daniel who actually also didn't have a lover.

Ignoring Dongho, Daniel's eyes were then focused on large-bodied motorbike parked at the end of the garage. "Woah, is there a new bike, Hyung?"

Dongho glanced briefly, making sure which bike Daniel meant. "Ah, yeah. It belongs to Seokhoon hyung."

Daniel was surprised. "It's Seokhoon hyung's too?? Crazy! How many bikes does he have? "

"Many. I'm sure he can open the showroom with his collection." Dongho replied a little joking.

Daniel was seeing the bike with admiration. "The body is smooth. Stickers are still good. It looks perfect, hyung! Why it is sent here? "He asked Dongho.

"That's old bike, Niel. First generation of 250CC motorbike. Seokhoon hyung said, its sound isn't cool anymore. I haven't checked it yet. Just try to check it! Take the black key with a skull keychain, it's in the usual cabinet." Dongho replied without taking his eyes off of Tiger.

Daniel went straight to where the key was stored and took the key that Dongho had described. In a flash, he was back to the bike he admired. Carefully, he started the engine and the bike started roaring. "Hyung, can I take it for a walk?"

Dongho looked up to see Daniel from a distance. "Yeah, just go out. Don't forget to bring girl home." Dongho replied, teasing Daniel.

"Hish." Daniel only laughed for a moment before he started running the bike and took it around Seoul.

Daniel's lips couldn't stop smiling. He thought this bike is the closest to his ideal type. Big body wrapped with smooth blue stickers, his favorite color. The engine power is strong but easy to control. The sound of the engine is somewhat smoother than the other motor sport in general, as the owner complained. But for Daniel, it doesn't reduce the elegance of the bike.

"Seokhoon hyung, I fall in love with your bike. Can this be mine?" Daniel ruffled behind his helmet while continuing to smile.

It wasn't only Daniel who can't stop smiling, there is other people who also can't help himself not to smile.

Seongwoo just finished working on his first day. There is actually a tradition of welcoming new employees by going for a drink and karaoke applied in the office where Seongwoo works. But they couldn’t do it in the first day of Seongwoo working beca
