"So you insulted her favorite author and you're still hoping she shows up?" A red haired girl cackled as she watched Seulgi slump down in her chair. 

"I didn't insult her, Joy! I was trying to say something else. But she cut me off....and it sounded like an insult," Seulgi groaned. 

"Sureeee, " A small blonde interjected sarcastically. 

"Jesus Yeri, I'm telling the truth! I think she's a good writer. I- You know what forget it," Seulgi turned away from her bandmates and started tuning her guitar with a frown.

Both girls giggled at their mopey lead vocalist. Jimin, the bar owner, placed a can of soda in front of Seulgi. Seulgi loved soda, but not even a refereshing fizzy drink could brighten her mood. She wasn't stuck on the fact that she unintentionally hurt the writer's feelings, rather she was stuck on hurting her crush's feelings by doing so. She hated it when Jisoo was upset or mad, and it was even worse because everything was just a huge misunderstanding. 

Jimin pulled up a chair and sat beside Seulgi. 

"What's wrong buddy?"

"Huh? Oh..nothing. I'm just being mopey that's all." 

"Mhmm," Jimin said not believing Seulgi's words. But he knew better than to pry too much into the brunettes feelings. He tapped Seulgi's shoulder and point at the the walls of his bar.

"Did you like the posters JK made for Red Flags?"

Seulgi had been so down she didn't even notice that the walls and windows of the bar were plastered with posters that had her band's name and logo on it

"Whoa. It's really cool, Jimin," she gushed, while staring at the posters in amazement. 

She then frowned and mumbled "You didn't have to though. You already pay us to play at your bar." 

"Oh please. Red Flags is the reason my business is booming. It doesn't hurt to put your band logo on the walls. In fact, it only helps my business more. Live music at bars are gems now."

"Are you sure? I have a suspicion that you may be getting customers because of your ridiculously good looks."

Jimin laughed. "Orrr....maybe it's your good looks and awesome talent for music."

Seulgi beamed at Jimin's kind words. She was forever grateful to the humble bar owner. He came from a fairly rich family, but decided to open his own bar and live by his own means. He was never pretentious and always kind to anyone, including Seulgi.

 

The day they met, Joy and Yeri insisted on entering the bar to ask if they could play at their bar. She could remember his exact words.

"Well...I've never had a band play here before. I suppose it could help drum up some business," Jimin had said with a grin, while pushing the hair out of his face.

"....plus I think it just might be fate. I mean Red Bar? Red Flags?" The handsome man laughed heartily, pushing his luscious hair back again, practically making Joy and Yeri melt into the freshly mopped bar floors.

 

Seulgi heard the door open and immediately glanced to see if it was a patron or a new customer.

Seulgi could feel the heat rush to her ears and her heart race when she saw the all too familiar smile of Jisoo. However, when their eyes met, the smile faded from the purple haired girl and instead Seulgi was greeted with a quick wave. Before she could get up from her seat to talk to her, she waved someone over to her table. Seulgi's eyes followed the direction Jisoo was looking in and she saw a man walk over to Jisoo. She felt her chest tighten at the sight of the two being all chummy and cute together and decided to stay put. 

The only reason 2 hours flew by was because Seulgi was so focused on singing and playing her guitar. The twenty minutes that followed afterwards were pure hell and too slow for Seulgi. She, her bandmates, along with Jisoo and the mystery man, all sat at one table. Seulgi watched as the man would whisper something in Jisoo's ear making her giggle and bite her lip.

She barely ate the food that was in front of her and could only manage to chug the beer poured for her. She peeked at Jisoo who still wasn't acknowledging Seulgi.

Joy nudged Seulgi, "You okay, dude?"

Seulgi only nodded and continued drinking. Jisoo was now sitting on the man's lap, running her pretty little finger up and down his chest. The man was grinning from ear to ear. Who wouldn't? Jisoo was gorgeous and everyone knew it. They were now laughing and flirting a little loudly for Seulgi's comfort, so she mumbled to Joy that she needed some air and headed outside. 

 

Seugli stepped outside and inhaled the crisp, co

Chapter 11: I don't think you should stress out on how often you update. Writing on AFF is not the only thing you do, and we understand that :) do it on your own pace and we'll still be here for your updates :D
