Adam sat on a stool beside the bar counter, an almost empty glass of liquor in her. His face crumpled up as he gulped down what was already in his mouth. The taste, though bitter, was exactly what he needed.
Beside him were two other young men. Their facial and physical resemblance highlighted the fact that they were siblings.
They both stared at their friend, who had only focused on drinking ever since they had arrived. They wanted to stop him, but he seemed in distress and needed the alcohol, so they met him frank to his heart's content. After all, they were no stranger to the news of his devotions, scandals, and broken engagement.
"I think it's time you take it easy, buddy," Julius, the person seated at his right side said. He even took the glass from his hand so he couldn't drink anymore.
"What happened this time?" the second person asked. They both stared intently at Adam, who seemed stuck in his own world, wallowing in despair.
