"Hard shove, feel the heavy weight
It's the same love that I push away"

She stared up at the speakers on the ceiling momentarily, cursing them for reminding her of her bittersweet feelings. She quickly shook it off and remembered that she was still on the clock.

"It's all in my head, there's not much I can do
You set your pace, I keep mine too
Each time I chase, I feel dark blue
Confuse your face for someone new"

She knew she couldn't stew in these feelings forever. She eventually needed to tell him, but that would absolutely ruin everything.

"I guess I owe you for most everything
Like the way I feel and the curse you bring-"

Haru was making drinks alongside Jin for the mountain of customers that were waiting for the newbies, apparently named Monsta X, when the speakers cut off and the crowd started to cheer.

Haru and Jin glanced at each other with big smirks on their faces.

Let the insanity begin.

Monsta X walked out and the fans started to go wild, the fangirls screeching upon all the chaos of getting squished and hit. The mosh pits instantly formed as the lead singer belted out the beginning lyrics.

Haru decided not long after their second song that they're pretty damn good. She didn't have much time to look up at the actual band since the bar was the busiest it had ever been since the venue opened, but she felt the familiar itch of wanting to be in the crowd; to immerse herself completely in its energy. Maybe if the bar died down in a bit she could.

Haru took a quick glance up at the band as the beer poured into the glass mug she was holding and felt her whole body turn cold.

There was a guy in a black mask and beanie, hands glowing a glittery gold as he played the electric guitar.

"You have got to be shitting me," she said aloud, heads at the bar turning to look at her. Haru shook her head, hair in her face to hide the panic she felt bubbling up inside. What kind of sick joke was this? She had convinced herself that what she had seen yesterday was bullshit, but now she couldn't deny it. Could she see various people's colors now, or was it the same guy?

It had to be. Whether she was in denial or not, his color was so unique it was engraved into her brain.

Just as Haru went to take another quick glance up, Jin yelled in her ear, "Haru, what are you doing?! That's quality beer you're wasting there!" She suddenly felt her fingers slicked with beer, realizing far too late that she had let the beer spill over. "Oh fuck," Haru cursed as she grabbed a rag to clean up the mess she had made.

"You've always had such a way with words," Namjoon sniggered as he sidled up next to her behind the bar. "How about you finish up that drink and then take the night off? I'll wrap up the night with Jin." Haru glanced at Jin who was nodding enthusiastically, making her give in easily. "Okay..." She said as she turned to redo the beer.
