Kyuhyun wiped down the glass in his hand for about the fifteenth time since he started his shift - not that he was counting. The waiting was making him restless. Sungmin watched as Kyuhyun continued to clean a perfectly spotless glass and couldn't resist the urge to . He snuck up behind his coworker and jabbed a finger into his side, eliciting an undignified and unmanly shriek.    "What the hell are you doing, hyung! You almost made me drop my glass." Kyuhyun shot Sungmin a menacing glare but the latter merely giggled.   "You're about to whittle that glass down into nothing by wiping it over and over again. Something on your mind, Kyu?" Sungmin smirked, "Or rather, someone?"   Kyuhyun scowled and started wiping down the counter instead. "I'm just doing my job."   Sungmin hummed, "Ever the model employee...ah, is that Jongwoon-ssi?"   Kyuhyun's head snapped up immediately, scanning the bar for a familiar black hat and thick rimmed glasses, but there was no sign of Jongwoon. His shoulders drooped a bit. "You're a terrible person, Lee Sungmin."   "Aww, Kyu~ I was just having a little fun." Sungmin wrapped his arms around Kyuhyun's waist and made an innocent face.   "Am I interrupting something?" a husky voice asked.   Kyuhyun shivered involuntarily; that voice always haunted his dreams and left him wanting more. He looked up and it wasn't a dream; Jongwoon was actually there at the bar. Sungmin nodded to the customer and gave Kyuhyun an extra squeeze; Kyuhyun quickly shoved Sungmin away causing the latter to pout and Jongwoon to chuckle. Kyuhyun smiled awkwardly and hoped that the bar was too dark for anyone to notice the red flush on his cheeks.   "I'll have the usual," Jongwoon said with a smile as he took a seat at the bar.   Kyuhyun nodded and immediately poured him a tumbler full of the bar's best scotch. "Remember to sip it slowly," Kyuhyun said with a grin.   "I know, I've already learned my lesson after the first time. Thank you, Kyuhyun." Jongwoon smiled and Kyuhyun had to swallow slowly, just in case his heart decided to leap out of his chest.       - - -       Jongwoon was a regular at the bar, his favorite regular, even though it didn't start out that way. Initially, Jongwoon was another nameless, faceless person, who was an absolute novice at ordering and drinking alcohol. He was awkward and had a quiet demeanor, Kyuhyun's least favorite type of customer. People that he couldn't chitchat with rarely tipped well, so he didn't have high hopes for the newbie that shyly approached the bar with a skull and crossbones studded leather hat pulled low over his eyes.Kyuhyun had eyed him suspiciously - there wasn't a need to hide your face in a bar that was already dark and dingy to begin with, unless you were underage.    The customer had asked for a strong drink, Kyuhyun had asked for ID and noticed the man's face pale a bit before grudgingly handing over his driver's license. Kim Jongwoon, age 27. Kyuhyun scrutinized the picture, Jongwoon looked far too young to be twenty-seven; but Kyuhyun couldn't good get a good look at his face with that cap and a pair of black rimmed glasses in the way. Kyuhyun shrugged to himself; the identification looked legitimate, so he poured Jongwoon a tumbler full of the bar's most expensive scotch and turned his attention to another customer that had approached the bar.   Kyuhyun was in the midst of flirting with his second customer when he noticed Jongwoon out of the corner of his eye as he picked up his glass and swallowed the scotch in one shot. Kyuhyun's jaw dropped - scotch that strong should burn like rocket fuel and the idiot swallowed it all at once. Jongwoon's face scrunched up unpleasantly right before he hiccuped and passed out onto the counter. Kyuhyun poked the man a few times to make sure he was still alive and he heard a soft snore. Kyuhyun snorted and muttered under his breath, amateur.   Kyuhyun shook Jongwoon's arm roughly. "Hey, Kim-ssi, this is not a motel. You need to wake up and pay for your tab. Hey!"   "Kyuhyun, why is your customer passed out on the bar counter? He's taking up valuable space."   Kyuhyun groaned inwardly; of course, his boss would come to work early, today of all days. "It's not my fault this first time customer can't handle his liquor."   Kangin furrowed his brow. "Just clean up this mess and get rid of him. Call a cab and send him home."   Kyuhyun looked at Kangin imploringly and asked for help lifting Jongwoon. Kangin grumbled and complained about how certain people shouldn't be so lazy. Kyuhyun's manager lifted the unconscious customer up off the bar counter by slinging a limp arm across his shoulder, causing the man's head to loll over to one side, exposing his face. Kangin studied the customer with a squint and frowned thoughtfully before his eyes lit up with recognition.    "Kyuhyun-ah, take this man back to your apartment and let him sleep off the alcohol," Kangin ordered.   "What? Hyung, how is that fair?! Why should I be responsible for a complete stranger? I just started my shift and he hasn't even paid me yet
