After years of being a regular customer at the "Blue Flame", a very well known and expensive nightclub, you thought everything would always be the same, until one night you found yourself in front of a new young barman you'd never seen before.

For 3 years, every night, you went to the most luxurious nightclub in your city which was located on the 16th floor of a skyscraper, giving you a wonderful view that stretched for kilometers in every direction. The cool evening breeze occasionally wafted through the open ventilation system, carrying with it the faint scent of expensive perfume and cigar smoke from the rooftop lounge above.

By now you were known by everyone there—customers and bar staff alike. Even though you didn't get along with everyone, you were ultimately respected and had never had a problem with anyone. The soft jazz playing in the background felt like an old friend, its familiar melodies providing a comforting backdrop to your evening ritual.

On your usual evening at 9PM, you moved quickly towards the disco counter, immediately expecting to see Theresa there—an older woman who had worked at the club since who knew when. But as soon as your eyes fell on the bartender behind the counter, your gaze locked onto a boy slightly smaller than you, whose cheeky yet friendly expression immediately caught your attention.

"What, overwhelmed by my beauty? You're not the only one here, I see. Anyway Handsome, want a drink?" he asked with a playful grin, his dark eyes sparkling under the club's ambient lighting.

The young bartender spoke with a voice that was soft yet carried clearly above the music, as he immediately started cleaning a glass with precise movements, clearly eager to serve you as best and fast as he could.
