Chapter 44: So Beautiful
After Kim Ho-woo and Kim Taeyeon separated, his excitement still couldn't be calmed down for a long time, and after thinking about it, he decided to talk to his friend Kim Jun-so.
A light glass of Crown whiskey, a friend who talks freely, and a rose life of Lisa Ono are perfect for Kim Ho-woo now.
After driving to Itaewon, Kim Ho-woo pushed the door and entered this jazz bar that he was all too familiar with.
Itaewon was originally home to a U.S. military base, so many families lived here, but over time, it became a gathering place for foreigners.
As the heavy wooden door was slowly pushed open, a melodious jazz music wafted into Kim Haoyu's ears.
Cβest. Si.Bon~
De.partir.nβimporte.ou~
A melodious female voice constantly sings upbeat music in French.
Jin Haoyu smiled secretly in his heart, although he couldn't understand French, he also knew that this song was called so beautiful, which also secretly matched his mood.
Late at night, when the bar was doing a booming business, Jin Haoyu looked around, and all kinds of people in the store could be seen laughing with wine glasses, talking, or complaining.
Jin Haoyu, who was accustomed to it, walked through the crowd and walked straight to the bar, but he didn't see his friend.
After being told by the bartender that Kim Jun-so was not there now, Kim Ho-woo didn't care, ordered a crown with only a piece of ice, and sat quietly on the edge of the bar waiting for his friend to arrive.
Crown Whisky is known as the lightest whisky, with a silky smooth mouthfeel, a hint of vanilla aroma mixed with the sweetness of alcohol, plus a hint of fruit acidity and a unique peach flavor in the aftertaste, which is in line with Jin Haoyu's sweet mood now.
With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Kim Haoyu silently observed the other guests in the bar while gently sipping the whiskey in his hand.
"Alone?"
A voice as sweet and moving, as crisp and pleasant as a silver bell, sounded in his ears, making him slightly stunned.
"Why are you here?"
Jin Haoyu was so shocked that his mouth opened unconsciously, and he looked at this woman who definitely shouldn't have appeared here in a daze.
"Why can't I be here?"
The woman holding a glass of ice blue luster, with another slice of lime inserted on the edge of the glass, turned cold, her lips opened slightly, and her eyelids rolled slightly with dissatisfaction, although this action was not very polite, but it was unexpectedly very beautiful on her, and it would not make people feel disgusted.
"You're alone?"
Jin Haoyu's brows furrowed slightly, he put down the wine glass in his hand, and his tone became slightly stiff.
"Of course not."
She raised her hand slightly, her white fingers shining even brighter in the dim light of the bar, and gently swiped an arc towards the booth in the far corner.
"Gather with friends, where the others are."
Jin Haoyu's gaze turned around, but he found that he couldn't see anything, and his vision was cleverly blocked, completely protecting his privacy.
"Insiders?"
"Ze is playing oppa."
"Tamasawa at 2pm? Do you know? β
Jin Haoyu looked over with some surprise.
"Why, I can't have my own connections?"
"Then you can be careful yourself."
Jin Haoyu's tone was not disgusted, but there seemed to be a trace of dissatisfaction, but it seemed that he was worried about something and didn't say much.
"Would you like to come over and say hello?"
"Excuse me, I'll wait for my friends, you can have fun."
He seemed to become a little distracted, took a sip of his glass, turned his head away, and stopped looking at the other party.
"If you don't go, then I'll go back."
The woman looked at his cold reaction and pursed her lips, as if she was also a little upset.
"Go, go."
Jin Haoyu waved his hand, and then said, "I'll pay for your consumption tonight." β
"No, it's not like I don't have money."
The woman snorted, expressing her displeasure with him.
"Also, if you have the ability, you dare not contact me for another month."
After throwing down the next sentence, she looked at Jin Haoyu, who was still lowering her head, playing with the wine glass in her hand and neither looking at him nor speaking, pursed her lips, raised her hand and gently picked off the lime on the edge of the glass, shook her hand and threw it at Jin Haoyu's wine glass, turned around and left.
With a snap, a few drops of amber liquid were splashed out and landed on the back of his hand as the lime entered the cup.
Jin Haoyu smiled helplessly, shook his hands, and didn't care that the cup was still soaked in the extremely untimely lime, picked up the wine glass, tilted his head suddenly, and directly wiped out the remaining half of the wine.
Suddenly, a strange taste echoed between his mouth, the original lightness turned into a spicy stimulation, and the faint sweet fruity aroma was covered by the sourness of the lime, which made him can't help but bare his teeth and sigh.
At this moment, a thick arm slammed into his shoulder, and a familiar voice sounded in his ears.
"Why did you have time to come to me today? I didn't say hello in advance. β
"Oh, it's okay, can I talk to you?"
Kim Ho-woo raised his hand and pulled Kim Jun-so's arm down and smiled at him.
"I just saw you reject a beautiful woman's accosting, you're still so boring."
Kim Jun-so said as he walked around to the back of the bar.
"What kind of accosting, it's just someone you know."
"Peach blossom luck is still so prosperous, sometimes I really think you live a very tired life, you will have a bald headache when you are entangled by a woman, and you will not deal with it, it is really speechless, I said you can't just be neat."
As soon as Jin Junxiu's words fell, his eyes fell on the cup in front of Jin Haoyu, and his brows were furrowed.
"What are you doing today? Research a new way to drink? β
Jin Haoyu pushed the cup with only lime and ice cubes left in front of the other party and said, "Let's open a bottle of blue party today." β
Kim Junxiu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and was a little surprised, the blue label he said was referring to Johnnie Walker's highest-end blue label series, which is a top-notch brew, carefully blended from the oldest whisky in many parts of Scotland, and also includes a 60-year-old whisky, which is indeed very valuable.
"What day is it? Do you have something good to share? β
Jin Haoyu grinned, as if the troubles just now disappeared in an instant, and looked at his friend and smiled.
"yes, I'm with Taeyeon."
"Really?!"
After Jin Junxiu screamed in shock, he suddenly slapped Jin Haoyu on the shoulder twice happily and said, "You guy has finally opened his mind, to be honest, I still thought that if you were with someone else, I would beat you up first." β
Jin Haoyu pushed the other party's arm away and joked: "You still want to beat me?" Wait thirty or forty years, maybe I'm no match for you. β
"Whatever you say, it's rare to be happy today, I invite you to drink."
Kim Jun-so turned around in high spirits and went to the wine cabinet to look for wine.
The bright smile on Jin Haoyu's face slowly converged after the other party turned around, becoming a little more complicated, and the corner of his eyes inadvertently glanced at a corner.
"You have to cherish it this time, people have been waiting for you for so many years, but they really care about you, if you treat her badly, I can't spare you."
Kim Jun-so said while pouring wine: "Come, let him pass through the past, I wish you a bright future." β
Yes, the past is gone, and we must look forward
Jin Haoyu shook his head after secretly saying in his heart, raised his head and took the wine glass handed by Kim Junxiu, and showed a smile again.
With a ding, the two raised their glasses and slammed lightly, and Jin Haoyu drank the wine in the cup with his head high, as if all the past was buried deep in his stomach.
