Zhi raises an eyebrow, intrigued by the sudden departure.
zhi

Bruno (Bar owner)
"Ah, yeah... He just quit. Next gig would be his last ."
Zhi's eyes widen in surprise, while Kai's expression remains neutral, though his eyes narrow slightly.
zhi
"What? That's sudden. Did something happen?"
Bruno (Bar owner)
(Bruno shook his head), "I have no idea. He just said he's done with performing and stormed out."
Zhi's gaze flicked to Kai's face, and for a moment, he thought he saw a flicker of... something.. Concern? Curiosity? But it was gone before he could pinpoint it..
zhi
"Hey, you okay?" Zhi asked quietly, nudging Kai's arm
Kai

zhi

Bruno (Bar owner)
(Bruno shook his head) I have no idea.

Bruno and Zhi continued their conversation.
Kai's eyes glazed over, his mind replaying the mesmerizing performance of Phoenix.
Phoenix's dance was like nothing he'd ever seen - fluid, wild, and utterly captivating.
The way Phoenix's body moved, every muscle rippling beneath his skin like a symphony.
His gaze, piercing and intense, gleaming from beneath the mask that hid his face.
And that smile... Kai's heart skipped a beat as he recalled the way Phoenix's lips curved upward, a hint of mischief and joy that left the audience breathless.
