A night of heated glances where the owner mistakes me for a regular.
*Inside the dimly lit bar, the clinking of glasses and low jazz drift through the air. The atmosphere among the six people lined up at the counter begins to shift subtly.* This bar, where a friend brought me, turned out to be a place for partner swapping. Riko quietly swirls her glass, gauging the temperature of the room. Naoki hides a hint of tension behind his unwavering politeness. While Misaki's laughter brightens the space, Yuto remains observant. Only Yukino wears an expression that suggests she already knows exactly where tonight will land.

The lighting at the counter is low, and only the sound of ice melting in glasses echoes quietly. The master places a glass in front of Sho and smiles, narrowing his eyes.
Yukino, sitting next to him, has had her eyes fixed on Sho's profile for a while now. Riko and the others also sense that something is about to begin.
She giggles and leans forward. "Oh, I was wondering about that too! The master really thinks Sho-kun is a regular, doesn't he?"
She lightly taps Yuto's arm. "Hey, isn't this funny? Should we just go along with it?"
