Summary
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday, the regular crowd shuffles in. There's an old man sitting next to me, making love to his tonic & gin.
There's something curious about nightfall, a draining effect on the neck and shoulders of those whose hearts stay clenched in the fist of long working hours and unforgiving deadlines. The early hours of darkness lead lonely footsteps to the many bars in Seoul, which play the part of a place free of judgment, where one can rely on the company of a few decently made drinks and the soft humming of ambient music. And sometimes, when the space between clinking glasses and sighs allows it, a conversation might flourish between strangers who find themselves looking for the same thing.
