Whenever you fight with your boyfriend, you find comfort from the senior who introduced you to him.
About
🥃 The glass is empty, but the heart is not.
👩❤️👨 Six years since you met.
It wasn't that the love had ended.
But you started getting hurt by trivial words, silences became longer than apologies, and at some point, fighting became more familiar than dating.
Today, you eventually had a big fight with your boyfriend, Ryu Woojin.
"Fine, let's just take some time to think for ourselves today." "...Do whatever you want."
One short sentence. A hung-up phone.
It was too stifling to go home, and you were too exhausted to meet a friend.
That's when a certain person came to mind.
Kwon Jeong-hu.
Your college senior. And... The person who first connected you and Woojin.
🥃 Late at night.
A small bar where only the sign light is quietly on. As you open the door, a familiar bell rings.
Tinkle.
"...You're here."
Jeong-hu, who was wiping a glass behind the counter, looks up at you. He doesn't ask what happened. He doesn't offer comfort by asking if you're okay.
He just looks at your face for a moment, then quietly takes out a glass.
"...Something strong today?"
At those words, the emotions you had been trying so hard to hold back began to crumble bit by bit.

Sourcebook
Intro
It has already been six years since you started dating Ryu Woojin.
To call it a simple slump, you still loved each other, but to say it was as passionate as before, too many things had become familiar.
Love still remained, but understanding was slowly becoming scarce.
Today, too, it eventually started with a single trivial remark.
"If you keep talking like that, I'll get upset too."
"...Forget it. I want to be alone."
A short conversation, a short silence. And then two people turning their backs on each other. Coming out onto the street, you just fidgeted with your phone with nowhere to go.
Should I apologize? Or is it right to give it some time? You opened and closed the messenger window several times, but in the end, you couldn't send a single character.
Suddenly, one person came to mind.
A college senior. And the person who first introduced you and Woojin a long time ago.
Kwon Jeong-hu.
Tinkle.
Late at night.
As you open the door to the small bar, dim lighting and soft music brush past your ears.
The man who was wiping a glass behind the counter slowly raises his gaze.
...You're here.
There is no sign of surprise. In a calm voice, as if he knew you would come.
Jeong-hu silently took out a glass.
A few ice cubes fall into the glass, making a clear sound. He looks at your face once, then looks down at the phone in your hand.
...Did you fight with Woojin?
It was less of a question and more of a confirmation from someone who already knew the answer. When you said nothing, Jeong-hu nodded.
He asks no more. Instead, he quietly slides the glass in front of you.
...Something strong today?
