Hello, Again

”Everyone, everyone! ” The large man struggled to stand up from his chair as he was clearly drunk but he seemed fairly determined.

They were a bunch of young men, somewhere about their mid twenties and they were evidently in celebration. A fair number of drinks were already considerably inhaled as seen by the empty bottles of brandy, whiskey and scotch. They belonged to the more privileged group of people as even with their shit faced drunkenness, they were wearing expensive suits and shiny shoes. They looked up at the large man, who was still struggling to find a level of stability with his own feet. He grinned, amused by his lack of stable sense. He raised his scotch, which was filled halfway.

”I would like to make a toast, ” He looked down at a particular person seated in front of the table and smiled with uncomfortable emotion, ”Taeho, my man. ”

The rest of the gentlemen cheered with disjointed harmony, clashing against each other.

”I have known you since you were a small, gangly kid. All arms and legs, it was as though a stick came alive and started walking around. But yet still, I knew you had it in you. Look at you now, you have come so far. We all have and it was not impossible after all. I am glad to be the person who has watched you transition from that kid to the beautiful man you are today.

He was no man who would get bulk produce shirts. His tie hung low and loose on his neck as though he had just come in from a business meeting and his sleeves were tucked up, exposing his delectable forearms.

The bar was dark and it wasn wild in the least sense. It was a high end bar with limited customers and members with personalized servers to each table. The ceiling was high and had a sleek modern architecture and hidden lights shone blue lights down on each booth of the bar. The people were barely visible in the dark blue light and thus allowed a certain amount of privacy. It was certainly an establishment for the rich folks.

”Did he say beautiful? ”

The group burst out laughing, some almost passing out face flat on the table.

Taeho had to admit, he barely knew any of the other men except for Giseok and Jang Giseok had been practically glued to his side since middle school. He had a fairly rough past but he was all behind it. The only person who knew about it was Giseok and all other personal details in his life, Giseok probably knew as well. But in the business world, you can simply constrict yourself to one man. Thus this various assortment of chaebol kids were brought to his celebration party. It was all a carefully planned maneuver to bring them into the closer circle, then take it forward with business partnerships. If he was being honest, h
