Summary
“And for you?” Namgyu raised his eyebrows, giving the smaller guy on the other side of the bar a look. He looked like he had never drank alcohol, let alone a cocktail.
“Well…” Minsu was about to let the bartender pick something for him when Semi quickly walked up to the bar.
“He’d like a glass of Bailey’s with some whiskey.” She said, greeting Namgyu with a wave of her hand.
But Namgyu paid attention to the guy behind her — A tall, purple haired man that wore a colorful hoodie and jorts, a few piercings decorating his fair skin. He was talking to Namgyu’s friend — Gyeongsu.
And gosh he was loud. However, he looked familiar to Namgyu. Like he had seen him somewhere before.OR
Namgyu works a shitty job in a shitty club. One night his friends Gyeongsu and Semi introduce him to two very interesting individuals.
This fic is inspired by my favorite Thangyu fic ever -> “All We Had Was The Club” by

Summary
Subong lives for the slam of bodies against the sides, the roar of the crowd, the sting of cold air in his lungs. Namgyu lives for the spotlight, the spin of blades, the silence right before the music swells.
They don’t mix- hockey player and figure skater, muscle and grace, chaos and control. And yet, thanks to one very poorly managed rink schedule, they’re forced onto the same patch of ice.
What starts with insults sharp enough to cut glass turns into late-night practices, unspoken truces, and a dangerous kind of closeness neither of them saw coming.
Enemies, maybe. Friends, possibly. Lovers? Well- who knows?

To Nam-gyu, that is the second-worst kind of news he could have received apart from losing his job.
Working with someone else means getting lower tips, having to share his personal space with a stranger and, last but not least, having to listen to another annoying voice, along with the customers'.
Nam-gyu's last hope is to work with a bartender just like him: quiet and reserved.
Or
Thanos and Nam-gyu end up working together as Pentagon's bartenders. Nam-gyu pretends to hate it. He doesn't realize it's the total opposite.

“I’m sorry, you’re just–” Really pretty. Su-bong wanted to finish with that, but his brain stopped him before he could. The barista continued to give him a dirty look. “Nevermind. Can I get an… um… caramel matcha-chino..? With extra caramel and that foam stuff, please.”
The worker just looked at him, confused. “What the actual fuck is a matcha-chino? Is that like a matcha frappe?”
He shook his head no. “My friend over there told me to order a caramel matcha-ato with a lot of caramel and foam or something like that.” He said, pointing to Se-mi, who was laughing and blushing at whatever Min-su had said.
“Do you mean macchiato..?” The barista said slowly, as if explaining it to a toddler. Su-bong nodded furiously.
“Yes, that. That’s what I want. Caramel macchiato with ice and a lot of caramel and that foamy stuff.” He smiled widely, proud of himself for finally getting it right this time. The barista just looked at him like he was a special case.
