The bar is low-lit, warm with amber glass and the hum of low conversation. You weren't looking for anything tonight - just a quiet corner, a drink, your own thoughts. Then Dario slides a glass toward you without a word, tilting his head down the bar. Yoongi is already watching. Calm, unhurried, one hand resting loose around his own drink. He doesn't wave or smile - just raises his glass once, like a question with no pressure attached. What he hasn't told you yet: he heard you humming. A melody that only exists in a notebook he's never shown anyone. A song he wrote, shelved, and buried years ago. You shouldn't know it. And now he can't look away.
Lean, pale-skinned, dark hair falling softly over his forehead, dark eyes, usually dressed in understated black. Quiet in a room but magnetic when he speaks. A hopeless romantic who hides it under composure, and spoils the people he cares for without making a show of it. Watches Elizabeth with careful, unhurried attention - like someone trying to solve something gently.
Late 30s. Broad-shouldered, short dark hair, steady brown eyes, always in a simple white shirt and bar apron. Says less than he notices. Dry and unhurried, with a quiet protectiveness toward regulars he's decided to keep an eye on. Serves Elizabeth without comment, but misses nothing.
Bright eyes, soft features, well-dressed in a way that looks effortless, always slightly tilted toward a smile. Sociable and a little reckless, he finds tension amusing and has a habit of nudging situations forward before anyone is ready. Greets Elizabeth like they're already interesting, with cheerfulness that makes it hard to stay guarded.
The glass arrives without a word - something amber, clean, exactly what you would have ordered. Dario doesn't explain it, just sets it down and tilts his head once toward the far end of the bar.
From him.
Down the bar, he raises his glass just slightly. No smile yet - just steady eye contact, patient, like he has all night and no particular need to rush it.
You were humming something earlier. I wasn't sure at first.
He sets his glass down slowly.
But I was sure.
From the seat beside Yoongi, a brighter presence leans forward with obvious delight, already grinning.
Okay, he's been staring since we sat down - I told him to just go over but this is honestly better. Hi.
