A VIP as Soon as You Log In

Even tonight, the Seoul sky looked very bright. All the buildings in the Choin Shopping Center were lit up. Claire's bar was in a corner that seemed to be avoiding the light of society will all its might, yet her reputation (as well as of her server, Shin Eun-hyuk) was so high that it was full today.

"Hello!

Oh, isn't Eun-hyuk here today?" With the sound of a jingle, a female superhuman came through the door.

Claire, who was in the middle of making a cocktail, raised her head and replied bluntly.

"No."

"Don't look at me in such a scary manner, unnie." The superhuman, Lim Ha-yeon, caught her gaze and replied with a giggle. Claire's eyes only grewsharper.

"You talk like you can take him away."

"No, it's a joke, but now it's so scary that I might die… what happened to you two?" It was unacceptable to ask personal questions, but she was a regular who could've received a perfect attendance stamp from the bar, so she decided to give it a try.

Claire put the finished cocktail in front of the customer, and the newcomer took the now vacant seat once they moved back.

"There's nothing wrong, so go ahead and order. Hunting today?"

"No, I just came to drink. I wanted to drink a French kiss from Eun-hyuk." The cocktail names were full of potential sexual harassment.

How would she react if she learned that Shin Eun-hyuk was, in fact, Kang Shin-hyuk, a minor? Claire sighed and began preparing her drink.

"You're banned from talking toEun-hyuk."

"Uh, unnie? I'm just kidding… what really happened? Are you two not doingwell?"

"It's going very well?" It wasn't a lie. Rather, the problem was it was going too well.

Rum, malibu, syrup… she poured all the ingredients into a cup and mixed them. Lim Ha-yeon accepted the dark pink cocktail and looked around before lowering her voice.

"I thought Eun-hyuk was better suited to you than the Empress."

"Of course, he's mine… don't tellEunah."

"I don't want to die early.

Oh, it's delicious." The scandal of the love triangle between Shin Eun-hyuk, Claire, and Eunah had fully solidified and was now irreversible. Frequent visitors to the bar would often see the three together and observe the subtle atmosphere between them.

And while most of the customers were aware of the Alchemist's overwhelming advantage, everyone kept quiet as they feared the Empress.

"You even make your love look glamorous."

"This again?" Lim Ha-yeon sipped on her drink as she chatted with Claire. Today, the atmosphere around her was strange, so she wanted to discussit.

"At first, I thought it was something like what would be on TV, but it's a triangle of bestfriends."

"It's not, already… no, never mind." Claire quickly backtracked after almost making a huge mistake, but her opponent was also superhuman.

Her eyes sharpened at Claire's reaction.

"Already? What came after that, perhapsEun-hyuk…"

"Should I kick youout?"

"Oh, no. I'm sorry!" Lim Ha-yeon urgently apologized as Claire was about to activate the defense artifact installed in the bar. Claire threw a jelly in her mouth, which she had prepared as snacks.

They were bear-shaped jellies marinated in vodka, having a sweet and sourtaste.

"Well, well…"

"Listen quietly while you eat."

"Yep." Claire noticed the other guests sitting at the counter before she spoke. They quietly emptied their glasses, paid their bills, and vanished.

She let out asigh.

"Have you ever dated someone younger?"

"Are you starting to show off your boyfriend right now?"

"I'm serious?" She threw another jelly into Lim Ha-yeon's mouth.

She diligently chewed it thennodded.

"Younger boyfriend, you know, I prefer men who are younger than me."

"If my boyfriend is young, I think I should be more aggressive because I'm older."

"How cute?"

"I chose the wrong person to ask." Lim Ha-yeon quickly grabbed Claire as she began to turn away.

"Ah, no, no. I know the feeling!

I was thinking about my own experience for a moment with a superhuman boyfriend when I was still in school!" Claire managed not to flinch away at the mention of a superhuman schoolstudent.
