(
What's an easily-bored teen to do but get himself into trouble? )
Getting up and tossing his ponytail over his shoulder, Reno didn't mind who saw his shirtless state when he opened the door. Upon seeing Dai, the redhead let out a surprised, "Oh yeah!" as he had forgotten he had told him that he could come over for some alcohol.
"Forgot you were coming. Come on in," He offered, moving to the side to make room for him to pass.

The teen ran a hand through his hair, trying to make it at least a little neater. "How do you manage to keep shit hidden from the nosy nurses here? They searched me good when I got here, and they keep checking my part of the room."

But no use looking too much into something, right? And Dai wasn't too bad looking, himself.
"You gotta know special places to hide it~" Reno said in singsong, walking in what seemed to be a certain number of paces before kneeling down and lifting a loose floorboard under which one of his many booze hiding places sat. "And you gotta have connections with the staff to get it in in the first place. Both of which I happen to have." He offered the bottle of beer to Dai, figuring he wouldn't be picky. "Sorry it's warm."
Reply
"I have no connections here...yet." He took the beer, opened it, and had a few long swallows. It was warm, but that was better than nothing.

"Really?" The redhead asked, stretching luxuriously before grabbing a beer for himself and popping the cap off with the skill of someone who had done it many times before. "Pretty much all my friends from back home are staff here now, so it's easy to get stuff." Sure, most of his friends would frown upon him sneaking things in, but what they didn't know didn't hurt them, unless they found out he was stealing their alcohol.

Were those scars, or tattoos?

Drinking some of his beer himself, Reno sat on the edge of his bed, relatively close to where Dai was sitting. Not wanting an awkward silence, he asked after a moment, "So, you're from Korea?" It was somewhat interesting - he had never been there before, nor met anyone from the country.

Thinking about home made him smile sadly. "I'm from Seoul. Not a bad place, if you don't mind gangs and corrupt politicians like my father."

He would give him another beer if he asked for it, but he wasn't just giving them away willy-nilly, so as long as Dai didn't ask, he would remain beer-less.
"That sucks." He offered, lighting his cigarette and taking a drag. "I grew up homeless in New York city. Classic childhood, I tell ya." The gangs Dai had mentioned were probably the type he would have been a part of if he had lived in the other's city.
Reply
"Can I have one? I'm not gonna put them out on my arms or anything. If not that, another beer would be nice." Dai didn't seem to care about what he heard, but then again he never did. "I'd rather be homeless or living with the Furies or Jaehee than stuck with my family." The Furies had been his gang.
Reply
"The Furies?" He questioned absently, eyes focused half on the cigarette in his mouth and half on Dai. "Guess it depends on how good your family was. Mom was probably a hooker that got knocked up, is what I figure." He didn't really care who knew about this, which was the only reason he was telling Dai.
Reply
"The Furies were my gang. We went our own ways once they got confused about seeing my boyfriend with me, but they'd still help me out if I asked them to. Wouldn't even have to hit them to convince them."
His family was one subject he wouldn't bring up. It would kill his mood.
Reply
"Yeah? Sounds pretty comfy. I was still a kid when the Turks found me, so I was never very high-up in any gang. Just a lackey." It wasn't a good part of his life, and Reno exhaled his smoke slowly, thinking about those times with a strange look in his eye.
Reply
He pointed in the direction of the floorboards Reno had pried up earlier. "Another beer?" Payment for these little pleasures hadn't been brought up yet. It made him nervous.
Reply
Aiming his eyes back to Dai, Reno smiled. "I dunno, how about a thank-you first~?"
Reply
He raised an eyebrow. "What do you want me to do?" If he acted at all like Mao, he would not be pleased.
