In the bar...

At a bar, Subao and his friends Feng Ji and Cha Dong are having a drink. Subao noticed that his shot is always full and his friends aren't.

Subao: You fools! Do you think you can cheat the code and lie to me! You losers! *Screaming at his friends ears*

Feng Ji: Aghhh! We're sorry! *Hugging Cha Dong*

Subao: You fill my cup full but little on yours!

Cha Dong: That's because we don't wanna drink anymore and you kept insisting!

Subao: Fine! Leave! I can drink alone! *Grabs the soju*

Feng Ji: Let's go Cha dong! Before he gone wild!

Subao: Don't show yourself to me cheaters! Ugh... *Placed his head on the counter*

"You've been absent for so long Jeuk.."

Jeuk: *Saw Subao playing his shot glass*

Subao POV: Why are they like this to me... *Turns around*

Jeuk: *Stun* ...?

Subao: Can I have the check please?

Bartender: Sure, right away..

Subao: *Drinks the remaining soju on his shot glass*

Bartender: *Placed the bill at the counter*

Subao: *Placed the money on top of the bill* Please keep the change, goodbye...

Bartender: Thank you sir, have a goodnight!

Subao: *Raise his hand meaning yes and walked past Jeuk* What time is it?

Jeuk: *Still not reacting*

Subao: *Opens the door* 9? I should grab food before heading home.
