The Red Lion
Description
[1920s! au] [speakeasy! au] It's the Roaring Twenties, a.k.a the Prohibition era in America. Booze lovers search to satisfy the lack of alcohol in their veins, with the underground network of speakeasies gladly providing them their gin and moonshine.
Naeun, heiress of Son & Co., runs away from her vain, unbearable family to seek a life of her own. Somehow, her feet end up bringing her from New York to the Red Lion in California- a typical speakeasy that sells liquor like every other illicit bar- or so she thinks. Naeun finds out that the Red Lion has an enthralling secret- a quite magical secret that she too, apparently possesses.
