“You can’t help but dance along to the songs, can you?” The man chuckled watching his partner dance.

“Nope! The songs are just too good! They sure know what to play to get the place moving!” A female voice replied back.

A tray was placed on a table in front of the two people talking. “Another house special, mouse!” The newly arrived waitress grinned at her friend behind the counter.

“Sure thing, lizard.” The bartender smirked and instantly started mixing the ingredients for their house special.

“You know, its pretty busy tonight, unni.” The waitress leaned against the counter using her elbows to support herself. Looking out, all three people saw a big crowd dancing on the dance floor. A few were recognizable faces to them while some were not. Customers who wanted to relax or just talk also occupied some of their booths.

“Yeah, I wonder how it’s going upstairs. I’ve only seen the ice princess walk by a few times.” The other female commented while starting to clean random glasses. She could definitely feel a glare from near the stairs.

“Probably same as down here… But they’re probably just talking to everybody up there. In other words,” the male bartender smirked, “not doing anything.”

“Yah! We are still doing something up here!” A masculine voice protested in each of the three’s ears. The latter downstairs just laughed. “Calm down, froggy.”

“Ah, here’s your drink! Enjoy~.” The waitress took the drink while smiling and went off to deliver it.

The two bartenders behind the counter watched as their friend walked towards a booth with female customers chatting with two familiar masculine face. They both smiled at them. “You know, I wonder how our hyungs are doing out right now.” The female bartender saw a few regular faces looking in their direction while the DJ switched to a song by the name of Maximum.

“I bet they’re fine. They always come back safely anyways.” The same masculine voice resounded in their ears.

“I don’t know. Truthfully, I feel like something is off tonight…” A different masculine voice said. The bartenders upstairs saw a guy moving to stand up and walk to the bar.

“They should be okay. They’re the best here,” the two bartenders eyed a girl walking away from the dance floor and walking to the back areas where extra rooms and the bathrooms were. They saw one of the guys surrounded by girls in the booth before stand up and start walking towards the DJ. “Guys. I think everything will be okay, whatever happens. Let’s just get back to running this place.”

A male waiter came up to the bar on the first floor and sat in one of the many available stools.

“Hey, dino. What’s up?” The male bartender asked as he saw him plop down in the stool.

“Ah,” he sighed. “Nothing really. You know, just working.”

“He’s right. How’s everything going up there, Victoria-unni?” The female bartender asked the other bartenders upstairs.

“Same as usual.” The other female bartender upstairs replied through their earpieces.

“Ah~, Key. I’m going to go dance and talk to the others, okay?” The female bartender took off her waist apron and walked under the entrance of the bar.

“Sure thing, Sunny-noona.” Key smiled. “Jjong-hyung. You going to dance too?” He asked when he saw his best friend start to take off his apron as well.

“Yup. Keep watch, neh?” The elder winked as he walked off. The younger saw and heard their DJs, Eunhyuk and Tiffany, laugh softly at his situation.

Key glared at them. “Aish…” He started cleaning random glasses and the countertop until he felt someone staring at him. He looked up and saw a guy in a suit coming towards him. He turned around to face the counters and drinks and whispered, “’Sica-noona… a guy who looks like a VIP is here.”

“Sir.” Key turned around at the new voice.

“Annyeonghasaeyo,” he bowed in greeting. “How may I help you?” He saw his noona walking towards them.

“Oh, nothing. I’m just here to offer you valuable information.” The mysterious man grinned. Key sensed something was wrong about the new guy. He gave his noona a warning glance to not come any closer right now.

“Which is what?” The bartender turned serious.

“Ah. The group you sent on a mission earlier today…”

Key’s eyes turned into slits, but he kept calm. “What are you talking about?” He gave the man a friendly grin. “Do you want a house special? Everybody loves it.” He started to get out the familiar ingredients.

The man held his hand up. “No need. I just wanted to inform you. Ah the names… Ah! The two guys named Yunho and Changmin… They escaped us somehow. But…” Key’s eyes widened at the next words. The recognizable faces in the crowd and the DJs instantly froze at the words spoken. Only the music and the random customers kept the place moving.

“We have captured your best agents Junsu, Yoochun, and Jaejoong.”
