chapter 2|Kalopsia

...20 minutes later…...

''You stay with me or Jungkook, got it?'' he trusts his favorite employee enough to let him keep an eye on me if he's not here, but I acquiesce with pleasure. He takes my answer and walks inside the bar with me behind him while Jungkook is in the back. The music already fills my ear, but fortunately for me, not in a loud manner. I follow my father's steps to get to the bartender who he knows well. I sit down on one of the stools and still feel Jungkook behind me while my dad is on my left.

I've never been to a bar so that feels weird.

''Two whiskeys and one apple juice,'' he orders to the man but this one chuckles. ''We don't sell apple juice Taegu,'' he peeks at me as he must have understood who wanted this drink. ''I have some Coke or Sprite though.''

''Coke,'' I answer him, so he takes the order and gets the drinks ready. ''Sit on the last stool,'' my dad tells me to move, so I do it, and he goes rightnext to me, making it impossible for me to be next to Jungkook. ''So, how is it going at your house?'' my father initiates the conversation, not wasting a single minute. ''Well…it's a bit tough but…I'm sealing with it.''

''You haven't met anyone yet? You don8t want to?'' the topic interests me, I remain quiet and discreet but listen carefully. ''Not really…I'm finally starting to recover from that divorce so …I'm good all alone,''his words reveal his singleness. I honestly didn't expect to know this, I thought he was a married man with children. ''Yeah, I understand. If my wife wanted to divorce, I tgink I wouldn't be able to get with anyone else afterone year only.''

''Hm…The only thing that I regret is that…I married her so early, I was twenty-eight, and I thought she was like the good one because we were together for three years already, and I felt like it was the moment to make her my wife but…I guess I was wrong,'' a lot of emotions go through his voice, and his words affect me. ''You should forget her, even if it's hard. She doesn't deserve to be on your mind because she hurt you.''

''Yeah, that's whatvI tell myself all the time, but I just can't help thinking about her. I mean…I don't love her anymore and would never go back to her no matter what but…It's just the pain and all…'' he shrugs and shakes his head. The bartender now comesback with the drinks and lays the glasses before us. "Here you all are."

We thank him and all take a gulp. "Anyway…" Jungkook clears his throat and bends his head back to pass his fingers through his long and wavy hair. "I don't have to worry about anything anymore when I'm alone, so I'm fine.''
