    Nam Gyu worked at a nightclub as a bartender, he was in his early twenties. He didn’t necessarily enjoy his job but he didn’t hate it either. It was quite repetitive but sometimes a fight would start and he liked to watch for a bit until he’d have to call for security, that was probably the most entertaining part of his work. Nam Gyu had dark, almost back coloured hair that reached to just above his shoulders and had slightly uneven ends but he liked it that way and didn’t care to make it shorter to look ‘more masculine’. His usual style was casual T shirts and jeans but at work he usually wore a black button up shirt with the top few buttons undone and a pair of dark suit trousers.

    Thanos was a mid-20’s year old rapper with purple messy styled hair and always wore street-style clothes. He was a rapper, sure, but he wasn’t that popular, only people who lived in Seoul would know him since he was only popular in the city he lived in. Thanos would usually go to the nightclub that Nam Gyu worked at and he’d just sit at the bar with a drink to kinda relax for a bit before he’d reluctantly go back home to his large, lonely penthouse.

    Nam Gyu had seen Thanos quite a lot at the club and they’d talked a lot of times. They knew each other on a ‘friendly’ level and Thanos was now part of the reason why Nam Gyu hated his work a little less. Thanos started going to the club more just to see Nam Gyu and get to talk to him for a bit, the younger man made his life feel a little less lonely and actually gave him something to look forward to. Though, everytime they talked, it was casual friendly conversation and was usually cut short by Nam Gyu having to walk away to serve someone, but even so, they both enjoyed their conversations. They shared a feeling of loneliness in their lives and getting to talk to someone, even just for a little bit every few days was enough to make them feel more comfortable and less lonely.

    Today, Nam Gyu was at work again, he was leaning his forearms on the bar counter in front of him, watching a small fight between two drunk girls happening in the crowd ahead of him when Thanos entered the club. Thanos walked in and pushed his way through the crowd who were mostly all distracted by the fight. He sighed and sluggishly trudged over to the bar and sat down tiredly.
