@Byun Baekhyun /notices you yawning as well and blinks my eyes open a few times to look over at you and sees you falling down onto the mattress beside me, smiling to myself since you've finally used enough energy along with the fact that your boredom has also driven you to finally take a nap/
/i follow you soon after of course since I'm just as ready to take a nap as you seem to be. but I have this odd habit which comes out when I sleep and often it causes a slightly awkward situation when i wake up. it only ever happens when I am sleeping next to someone - or a body pillow - but i tend to shuffle around until i am right up against the person, using them as a living teddy as i hug them in my sleep/
@Park Chanyeol /I bet that it's proven somewhere scientifically that the sight of a yawning person makes you yawn as well and as a logical chain of reactions, I soon find myself yawning, the exhaustion I tried so hard to shove back coming back to me in the wave more grand, reinforcing the sudden weight of my eyelids that flutter and somehow, I end up mirroring your actions, my back encountering the mattress that dips so pleasantly under my weight, welcoming me with the extraordinary softness so different from the bed at my own place.
I may listen to your earlier suggestion and...
/I don't even manage to finish the proper sentence as I fall asleep sooner than I maybe might have wanted to, eyes fluttering and closing themselves when I doze off, soft breath fanning the rosy flesh of my tiers left subtly ajar, body sprawled lifelessly with chest moving up and down in languid tempo.
@Byun Baekhyun That's pretty true, though I would have to say that you at least make sure my job isn't boring by any means
/smiles to you and relaxed, lying back onto the bed with my arms folding under my head as I shut my eyes, knowing that if we're gonna be stuck in here that I might as well get a bit of rest whilst I can since I will need to make up for any time that I lost because of my own impulsive actions/
/I can feel your eyes on me, but again, I don't pay you too much mind until of course, you speak up again in the midst of the silence that had fallen upon us, making me open my eyes again and look over at you with a smile/
Sounds good to me, Byun
/smiles and turns my head back to look up at the ceiling and let's out a slight yawn, rubbing the tears from my eyes with the back of one of my hands/
@Park Chanyeol I think no one would expect that. The only times they see us talking is when I give you chagrin.
/there's a small bubble of simper bursting from within the cage of my throat at my own words that are actually the facts incontestable, for I can't count how many times I have seen you stressing over something I did. I was a natural troublemaker when it came to bartender shows or flirting with the customers too much and to be my boss must have been a tough cookie anyone would break their teeth on.
/my wandering gaze eventually comes back to you as I lean back on the headboard and tilt my head, umber spheres veiled with curiosity blending with sympathy and perhaps a hint of something that could be called fondness in the future as our talk seems like a nice prelude to the actual friendship I may have starved for for longer than I want to admit to myself.
We should be friends, Park.
@Byun Baekhyun It is quite funny, believe me when I say that I wouldn't have expected us to have this kind of conversation with each other
/chuckles softly, shaking my head in amusement from the amazement in which I feel towards what is our current situation, both our realisations that we can actually get along with one another to some extent and also the fact that despite us being so different, that maybe we could be friends in the long run/
/I quirk up a brow when I hear that chuckle of yours though, I can't help to wonder why it is that you're laughing. Though it isn't awkward by any means, the fact that in the midst of the silence, you chuckled, must mean that you're thinking about something funny, right? It honestly could be anything of course, knowing that you can find many a thing amusing in many situations/
@Park Chanyeol Is it now? Honestly, same. Isn't it funny, though? That you're having such a deep conversation with someone so "not serious" like me?
/squints my eyes at you in the manner purely playful, the corner of my lips curving into the smile that speaks of honesty veiled by the delicately sheer layer of amusement. I find it genuinely funny, the irony of the situation yet I appreciate the moment we're having nonetheless. Never have I thought I'd end up in such circumstances, let alone with you but a weird part of me considers it somehow a lucky revelation, the fact that you out of all people - seemingly a stranger given the amount of the conversations we had, seemingly someone so different from me, a personality with which I should definitely clash - make me eerily comfortable. It appears as if what we have in this moment can blossom into a friendship and the thought has be subtly smiling to myself as a gentle ripple of a chuckle rides the low timbre of my voice, filling the silence that settles upon us after I speak.
@Byun Baekhyun I suppose you do, since I don't think I've told anyone else here about it...
/thinks back and is pretty sure that I haven't told anyone about my hobby since I don't talk to many people about my personal life, most of the time my conversations pertain towards more of casual flirting with club members or just chatting and small talk about work with the other employees, though there are times I flirt with employees/
/sees you smile the most genuinely I have seen you smile in the time that I have known you and is somewhat grateful to have gotten the chance to be witness to such a nice sight since you are attractive, but I won't say it aloud since I don't need to be the one to boost your already big ego/
Well.. I suppose I have had a peek at that. I'm surprised though... since I haven't had the most deep conversations with people here... this is probably one of my longest and deepest conversations with anyone at the club in a long time
@Park Chanyeol Oh? Well, well. Now I have a piece of information all for myself.
/raises an eyebrow curiously, briefly brooding whether I am the first one to bother to get to know you more and something in the back of my head tells me yes as the only interest I managed to catch in others' eyes when they lingered upon your silhouette spoke of physical desire. And the thought alone makes me feel better about myself that I am not as superficial as one would claim.
/upon hearing your chuckle, there's a purely genuine smile curling my lips, stretching them in the countenance so friendly in its honesty before I shrug yet again and speak matter of fact, a teasing grin lingering somewhere in the corner of my lips.
Well, you are. You know the club has its confession page when you log in. It's quite amusing to see you collect your own harem, Park.
@Byun Baekhyun Yeah, I play the guitar and occasionally the piano, it's something not too many people know about
/since most people I know tend to see me only in this club since I pretty much just go home and then come here most of the time, I don't really talk to many people like this unless they approach me first and they aren't too persistent or annoying/
/chuckles at your joke, finding it quite amusing since you're admitting to that fact, though I don't think you get on too many peoples' nerves, just the people you work for, not the members of the club though since you're pretty popular/
I'm popular? I didn't know.. Well, I have been approached by a couple of them... but I didn't realise I had some kind of reputation here
@Park Chanyeol Music?
/There it was, the string connecting us and I almost want to laugh at how cliché it is. Music is an inevitable passion for the youth, constituting the haven or the form of expressing one self and I soon find myself taking a walk down the memory lane, reminiscing the countless hours I spent on listening to music and singing when I was in university, for music was my own reverie that distracted me from the harsh reality of sleepless nights. I nearly envy you for having tried to major in music if it wasn't for my nature where I'd rather admire someone and work on myself than be jealous of them.
That's nice. I treat it as a hobby too. Though the only instrument I am capable of playing is people's nerves.
/snorting at my own words and how honest they are, I briefly lower my head to chuckle to myself and let a lazy simper curl the corner of my lips before releasing a small sigh of contentment and leaning back once again against the headboard, Adam's apple bobbing as I tilt my head fleetingly. I eventually turn to you again, shrugging at the question you shoot me rather nonchalantly.
I don't know. How do you feel about being so popular among the staff? I think a lot of people are interested in you.
@Byun Baekhyun /honestly wonders what about me you found so intriguing or intriguing enough that it triggered your curiosity since I have known you long enough to know that normally someone like myself wouldn't even gain your curiosity to begin with. Though I suppose that it's simply your current boredom which is fuelling this unusual curiosity of yours/
I tried to go to uni, for music actually, but I didn't like it all too much so I just kept it as a hobby whilst I gained some experience in other jobs here and there before coming here to work full-time
/is pretty glad that you don't seem to mind simplicity since I've never really been a complex person, nor a difficult person. Which could be a blessing and a curse depending on the situation at hand/
Anything else you would like to know about me?
@Park Chanyeol 5 years is still some time.
/shrugs at your remark, not in the slightest bothered by it as I do not feel the passing time or senility approaching me at all, for I saw myself as the epitome of epicureanism's carpe diem, seizing any opportunity presenting itself to me and attempting to see things in the positive life, while you seemed to embrace the stoic philosophy and it's almost amusing, the difference between us. Amusing yet interesting and I surprisingly find myself interested to see whether in the ocean of beliefs between, there's a small thread connecting us.
I see...
/musing quietly under my breath, I nod from time to time to let you know that I'm still listening to your train of thoughts, meticulously trying to follow it with ease, thankful that you're not hesitant to satiate my curiosity.
Did you go to uni or something? Majored in anything? And it's good you're not that complex, sometimes simple is better. I'm not always a fan of difficult people.
@Byun Baekhyun /looks over at you a little surprised as you mention my age as a factor of all things and shakes my head towards you in disbelief since you of all people brought that up/
You're not exactly too far from 30 either, Byun
/mutters softly, although still loud enough for your to hear my clearly in this room with just us two as the living occupants/
/notices as you just seem to stare back into my eyes, wondering what's going through your mind as you just seem to intently focus in on me for those few moments before breaking out of your reverie/
/chuckles as you give me a mini round of questions in one go and thinks to myself/
Well, I dunno really, just thought it would be an interesting job with... more or less interesting people around me
And as for what brought me here, it just seemed to have a different vibe to most clubs, simple as that. I'm not a super complex guy, as you might already know
@Park Chanyeol I know right? Who would have thought? You should totally feel lucky. After all, it's me.
/the grin figuring upon my tiers swiftly morphs into the smug alternative as the words of utter arrogance seep through them effortlessly and although the majority of time it's a mean in my mischievous façade, it's indubitable that there's grand confidence residing within me, showcasing itself in the way I carry myself, head always high despite all the obstacles I may encounter. Right now though, I do that to merely tease you, a game I fancy playing and perpetually indulge myself into, driving people crazy and searching their limits, rendering them flustered and helpless.
Park, you're almost 30. I am sure that you have the rest of your life to be serious. Use a little craziness when you're still in your twenties.
/snorts a little at your comment, rolling my eyes though I mean my words. Never have I understood the serious aura surrounding you and it almost makes me itch, feel the overwhelming need to see it falter. Eventually meeting your eyes once again, I momentarily plunge myself into the onyx sea of your orbs before your question catches me off guard and makes me shrug, index finger tapping my chin in thought as I ponder briefly over an inquiry.
Hm...Not sure. Why did you start working here? What brought you here? You've been here much longer than me.
@Byun Baekhyun /sees that smile bloom upon your face and wonders what on earth you're thinking to yourself in those short moments, but doesn't raise the question out loud since I honestly don't want to know nor do I care all too much since you seem to find something funny in everything/
/rolls my eyes at your comment, catching onto the sarcasm, but just barely, enough to smile slightly in defeat since you're obviously not meaning to be serious about that, since you are mature to some degree/
/is quite surprised when you pull me down by the collar, and sits where you pat down on the bed, knowing that I can't really do much about it since avoiding you in this confined space of a room is not exactly an option. though as I sit, I do wonder why that smile of yours doesn't seem to leave your face/
Wow, amazing that I of all people stirred your curiosity~
/says half-sarcastically and shakes my head with a smile/
I only seem to be always serious because I make up for the lack of seriousness you have for your part, Byun
/let's out a sigh, leaning back on my hands and looks over at you curiously/
So shoot, what do you wish to know about me?
@Park Chanyeol /the countenance painting itself upon your visage is comical, albeit with something so akin to the endearing hint, and elicits a gentle ripple that is a chuckle erupting in the back of my throat, the deep timbre echoing in the room for a while until I shake my head in amusement and glance up at you, eyes reduced to the perfect crescents, corners creating petite fine lines under the blossoming smile that resembles a grin of some sort, plush rosy flesh of my lips stretched across my face, curled upwards at the ends/
I know right? Things people do to save themselves from the boredom.
/I only mean to tease you with my words as I reach my hand out enough for nimble fingers to curl around the fabric of your shirt and I pull you onto the bed with me, patting the spot next to me for you to sit on comfortably, that particular grin never once wiped off my face/
For real though, Yeol. We've worked together for a while but this is the most we ever talked. You managed to stir my curiosity, somehow, the curiosity of THE Byun Baekhyun. May as well just get to know you more, Mr. Always so serious about work.
@Byun Baekhyun /doesn't confirm or deny the fact that I might want to have added that part to my sentence since you seem to already get enough of it as it is from everyone else around you, also to give you some peace from that anyway since you already said it yourself, no use in repeating it/
/glances over at you as you seem to already be drifting off to dreamland and shakes my head with a slight smile as you wake yourself from it despite your body wanting to take a nap/
/at the mention of us getting to know each other better, I turn to look at you rather incredulously, not believing what I'm hearing from those ever so pretty lips of yours/
Get to know each other? Since when have you wanted to know anything about me?
@Park Chanyeol I bet you want to add "cause you behave like a kid".
/you cause me to roll my eyes as I somewhat have a feeling of what you wish to say next and I can't help but to purse my lips at that, only wondering why so many people take a guess that I'm younger than my actual age ㅡ perhaps it's the matter of my youthful appearance or the energy I exude, maybe it's simply the way I'm phrasing myself but on the contrary to the popular belief there's maturity incontestable hiding within my personality, though not everyone is patient to explore that part of me or is capable of shredding the layer of mischief I cover myself with so tightly.
/my eyelids are already half closed by the time the sound of you taking off the rubber gloves reaches my ears that perk up and as tempting as your offer sounds, especially with the extraordinary softness of the bed that treats my spine so pleasantly, there's a small voice in the back of my head whispering to me that I may regret it ㅡ why? I'm not entirely sure but I sit up anyway, leaning back against the headboard while staring up at you.
What's so fun about that? We could always use this time to get to know each other better, you know.
@Byun Baekhyun A collection eh? Must have a high libido, that friend of yours
/thinks back to my collection of toys, knowing that I wouldn't have as many s as that particular friend of yours, but I do a few in different sizes at home which I use when I feel more subby than other times and of course, when I feel a bit , since I don't exactly have a boyfriend to help satisfy my wants and needs at the moment/
You know, sometimes I forget that we're 2 years apart in age...
/honestly feels like more sometimes with the way your potty mouth runs about and somewhat immature antics at times, giving me the feel of a bad boy from high school rather than a 25 year old/
/turns to you and nods calmly, somewhat appreciative since you've at least been listening to what I've been saying to you/
/continues on with the inspection in the quiet that befalls upon us both and then moves over to the couch, sitting down as I pull off my gloves, letting out a sigh as I check my watch for the time, wondering what we could do for the time being until someone gets us/
You can take a nap for a bit if you'd like, Baekhyun
@Park Chanyeol It was a...weird friend, to say it in the most delicate way. He had a collection and I lowkey think it was an online shopping addiction. Who on earth uses so many s-
/reminiscing the past almost brings me back to two years ago when I didn't know this place even existed and wasn't thrown in the thunderstorm of alcohol pouring over the silhouettes generously, anonymous smiles and thick piles of cash constituting the reality both me and anyone from the staff lived in. The university times elicit something so akin to the acrimony veiled with a thin layer of fondness so particular I cannot shake it off yet I try to bring myself back into the real time quickly, the surroundings suddenly too heavy, the lack of windows causing me to soundlessly sigh, breath fanning over the parted lips./
Oh please. I just know my worth, Yeol.
/scrunches up the bridge of my nose at the ridiculous idea that seem to have commenced itself within your head and I shake mine in response, not bothering to look at you as I extend my arm and draw random patterns in the air with my fingers, mindlessly listening to the depth of your voice and the pleasant melody that is your casual hum, noting it somewhere in the dusty corner of my mind for whatever reason./
And you decline because of your "no one night stands policy", yes?
/it's my turn to hum, a low tune inscribing itself into the imaginary stave as I put my hands under my head and eventually drag my gaze back to you, finding that watching you work and having a talk longer than the usual ones we share is oddly relaxing. It leaves me stunned, I never knew I needed a moment of relax and solitude shared with one person until such an opportunity was into my face without my permission.
@Byun Baekhyun /sighs inaudibly as your infamous stubbornness shines through at this moment, not wanting to be at a disadvantage in any way, and though I'm used to it, I find it rather amusing every time whenever you have a rebuttal against something that I or whoever you're speaking to has said/
/glances over at you, listening to your words and giving a slight shrug since not many people think I would own toys at all, whether it be casual toys or heavy equipment. But when you mention your friend's , I can't help but burst out into laughter, shaking my head in disbelief as my deeper tone mixes in with your slightly lighter one in the room/
Wow... I could only imagine why he named it that of all things
/chuckles and shakes my head in amusement since you seem almost narcissistic with the way you keep calling yourself charming, almost as though you want me to want you/
Well, with the way you keep talking, you seem to be wanting me to want you, Baek
/shakes my head as I continue inspecting, despite knowing that you just jumped on the bed, which thankfully seemed clean from my view over here, since I wouldn't want you to flip out on me in here whilst we're stuck for who knows how much longer/
/stops inspecting for a moment as you ask me that with a snort and turns to you, humming in thought of how to word it/
Yes, we have escorts, but I'm very... versatile. And on the odd occasion, a VIP somehow finds that out and wants to try some things with me, though about half the time I decline.
/shrugs a bit and then goes back to inspecting the last wall before I will move onto the larger furniture and the stock of lube and condoms in the drawers/
@Park Chanyeol I /know/ it is, idiot. I know more about chemistry than you anyway.
/huffing in response, I can't help but to cross my arms upon my chest, instantly defending myself and pulling a face before blinking in mild surprise at your words, never really being the one to pay attention to you unless I was there to deliver you with stress with my rather...original way of behaving not everyone is capable of comprehending and embracing. Therefore, you stir curiosity within me, it's an infinitesimal spark that can blossom into the flame yet I keep myself composed, amusement somehow prompting itself in my voice when you mention the toys./
I somehow never thought you'd be the one to own such . So you fancy riling yourself up with toys? My friend once had a he called "The Wreckinator" and seriously, I'm not even kidding.
/the brief memory of my friend causes me to release a portion of melodic laughter that seeps through my lips, the sound dancing within the dulcet softness and the loudness further enhanced by the void of the grand room. There's almost a hint of a tear tickling the corners of my eyes as the simper dies down and I rub my eyes, uttering a small wheeze at the end before stretching my arms lazily and sprawling myself comfortably on the furniture I occupy, watching you flash me your gloved hands./
Excuse you? I'm totally charming all the time. I bet that you're too shy to admit that you're happy to be stuck with me here because otherwise you'd fall asleep from the boredom of inspecting that stuff. You're welcome, Yeol.
/props my chin on my hand as I lie down on my side and once again take a look at the room, the profound hue of redness complimenting the main purpose of it, before my eyes settle upon the clean bed, the mattress looking too tempting for me not to try it and I soon find myself bouncing on the bed, lying flat on the mattress like a starfish whilst my eyes are stuck at the ceiling, snorting at your words/
Why would anyone request you? We have to entertain VIP's pickles.
@Byun Baekhyun It was one time, but it was significant. Since we do have alcohol and that is /flammable/, Byun.
/rolls my eyes and an airy chuckle passes my lips at your complaints about our boss' reasoning about keeping you busy, agreeing with him to some degree, though I do know that you don't mean any harm to this club since you do seem to enjoy your job here/
Well, a number of people flirt with me considering I'm at the bar half the time and some of the regulars know me well enough that we're past the stage of exchanging innuendos and winks, but there are some... who are way too persistent...
Is it really all that surprising that I have my own toys at home?
/sighs and shakes my head as I move along to the adjacent wall, beginning to inspect it all and trying to shake off the memories of when that one VIP kept flirting and trying to insist on getting in my pants whilst completely wasted by several shots of various hard liquor/
/smiles to myself as I can almost hear your boredom, your lack of an attention span rather amusing to me since that's the reason why you're so entertaining to most people since you just keep moving along with whatever topics you wish to talk about/
It pays well, and someone has to do it. And why not? Since I'm not exactly freaked out by these things and I know how to sanitise them and the correct procedures. And I wear these-
/lifts up my gloved hands and wave them about a bit before continuing the inspection/
-for a reason. So it isn't that gross.
/turns to you when you blow a kiss to me and looks over at you with a mixture of amusement and an unimpressed expression from your actions and words/
Well, I have yet to see much charm since I mostly see you on your breaks.
/rolls my eyes and shakes my head as you call me a janitor, ignoring it with my response/
I manage and maintain, I do not perform anything or ual related unless someone specifically requests for me, and even then, I will ultimately be the one to say aye or nay
@Park Chanyeol Seriously, why does everyone keep bringing it up? It was /one/ time. I talked with Jaejoong yesterday and I was so worn out after work, he told me that he has to keep me occupied because otherwise I'm dangerous.
/a low groan reverberates my throat, the depth of my timbre resonating through the room we're in and dispersing languidly as I shake my head in utter disapproval, succulent tiers pressed into a thin line whilst I busy myself with kicking my legs absently, the threat of boredom being the last thought I want to ponder on yet it seems so inevitable, at least when I'm stuck with you out of all people/
Oh my god, someone flirted with you? I'd hide myself too, they must be crazy. "I have enough of my own things at home" wow, keep surprising me, Mr. Park.
/rolling my eyes in the manner rather playful, I do not make any attempt to move, enjoying my spot as my eyes scan your tall silhouette, regarding your little ministrations and almost yawning out of boredom, otherwise known as the biggest menace to my existence, for my attention span is shorter than a toothpick, easily replaced by the annoyance I both exude and evoke within others when I have nothing to do./
And honestly, that seems like a boring job. You know, when you're with me at the bar, we at least interact with people and all. What's so fun about throwing used condoms into the trash bins, cleaning dried or all this..."equipment"? Gross.
/the sole description of your job has me shuddering, a minuscule shiver taking a walk down the length of my spine as the visage is momentarily painted with disgust, my features constituting the canvas within which hides a particular talent for eliciting the countenances most comical. Your next words almost catch me off guard but I accept the shot swiftly as I purse my lips and send you a flying kiss once I come across the glare you send me./
Keep lying to yourself, sweetheart. I'm as charming as one can be.
And honestly, contrary to the popular belief, neither am I. But it's kind of hilarious in your case, given you're a dungeon janitor.
@Byun Baekhyun /sees you relaxing and is thankful for it since I do not need to witness or bare victim to an angry Baekhyun and I honestly don't want to - ever. Though I must say that I never thought you'd be one to be panicked in such a situation, whether it be from the initial darkness of the room or the fact that we're locked inside, but everyone has their own fears and phobias/
/blinks a few times and chuckles, shaking my head as you mention potentially losing your job for not being present at the right hours/
Seriously, if you're still working here even after you nearly set fire to this place, I'm sure being MIA from work for a couple hours won't hurt you
/as I hear your snort as you look around the room, I quirk a brow since I don't exactly know what's so amusing about this place since you seem to be someone who would probably test these types of things out anyway/
Well, that was not my intention of being in here actually. I was getting away from interacting with a rather annoying VIP who won't stop flirting with me
Also, I needed to run a maintenance check on these rooms, because that's part of my job. I have only used these rooms once for testing. But never again since I have enough of my own things at home. These are for the use of everyone else, my job is to just keep everything sanitised, fresh and replace anything broken
/looks over at you as I pull on my gloves to actually start what I came in here to do, going to one wall and inspecting the equipment/
And I dunno how I could have the hots for someone who drives me up the wall with their... interesting sense of work ethic
/gives you a slight side-glare, and although it is playful to some degree, I am still half-serious about it/
Oh and I'm definitely not one for one night stands either, Byun
@Park Chanyeol /awaiting your reply, I can almost feel my blood boiling, some feelings I'm unable to comprehend having a grand storm within my heart, the darkness surrounding us making me feel all kinds of uncomfortable and anxious I can almost hear the vehement battering of my heart against my chest. You pry me off and I'm about to strangle you yet again but that's when you switch the lights on and the incandescence causes me to slightly squint my eyes to get used to the sudden light I am ever so thankful for nonetheless. The fact that the room is spacious casts an eerie sense of solace upon me, muscles relaxing and shoulders slumping, a pettie sigh of relief slithering past the confines of my lipsㅡ That's when I realise that they are filled with void and my cigarette must have slipped out of them when I got dragged inside and it's now abandoned and oh so lonely on the hallway's floor. The thought itself elicits a low groan from within the back of my throat and I rub my face tiredly before dropping my hand and letting the umber orbs travel up and encounter yours as you speak/
Who will even notice? I swear to god, if I lose my job because of this, I'm killing you, Yeol.
/scrunches the bridge of my nose up, eyes reduced to the thin slits as I attempt to give you the most threatening glare before I turn my head and take a look at our surroundings, my earlier assumption about cheap being confirmed as I snort and tiredly take a seat on the bench/
dungeons? Wow, Park. I always knew you had hots for me but locking me in a dungeon isn't necessarily going to help you in getting my .
/scoffing, I lean back and cross my legs whilst glancing up at you with a knowing, smug grin curving the corner of my lips so shamelessly in its suggestive manner.
@Byun Baekhyun /I honestly didn't really pay much attention to your rambling since you spout out rather nonsensical things most of the time, as though you a have a motor running your vocal chords, so I hadn't even thought about anything when I had pulled you in leaving the key in the lock on the outside/
/when I realise what I did of course, I let out a groan and somewhat frustrated sigh, more at myself than anything since this was one of the very rare impulsive moments in my life which I completely did before I thought it through, letting my want of escape from the pesky customer override any other logical thought in my head/
/I turn around since you've gone rather quiet, unusually so, and just as I'm about to speak to calm you down, you grab me by the collar and shout at me, which is somewhat understandable since it was my fault that I got us both locked in here but I just slowly reach up and grab your hands, prying them off of me gently before I switch on the main lights for the room, revealing the decent size of the place which isn't all that small/
I know I know, I locked us in, but it's okay, someone will come by soon enough once they know both of us aren't where we're supposed to be
/looks around and nods to myself, glad that the room that we got locked into at least has a place where we could take a break for now until someone comes to get us out/
Oh, and since we're stuck down here anyway, might as well tell you that we're in the dungeons, more specifically dungeons. It's where our more adventurous VIPs come to when they want a different kind of release
/I proceed to explain to you what my job, well, this part of my job, entails, including the maintenance of the rooms and the equipment in them, along with the use of them by the VIPs and just general things/
@Park Chanyeol I mean, does it matter? I usually mind my own but holy crap, this place is straight up weird. Waitㅡ Did Jaejoong talk about it during the last meeting? I was lowkey playing games on my phone under the table soㅡ
/Before you can stop me, there's a ㅡ inevitable as per usual when it comes to me ㅡ neverending chain of words seeping through my parted lips. It seems as if whenever I open my mouth, I am unable to stop talking until the oxygen burns out completely in my lungs and I am forced to take a breath. Oblivious to any of your concerns and not even bothering to spare you any glances as my gaze is preoccupied with perpetually wandering across the hallway and noticing the most minuscule details, it's no surprise when a gasp releases itself, lingering in the air, upon feeling the tightness of your grip encasing my poor arm./
What the , Park?! These magical arms are expensive! I work with them!
/Hisses at you immediately, the loudness of my voice reverberating the empty room inside which you plunge us into and blending with the thud that causes me to jump while I attempt to peel you off of me. There's a momentary pause and the softness of my tiers is left subtly ajar as if awaiting another train of thoughts but silence prevails while I try to fathom what is happening, widened eyes darting between your silhouette and the door. A sensation akin to the twist of utter torture prompts itself in the pit of stomach and I hesitantly reach out to the doorknob to open the door. And when I am unable to open it, an unknown force ( which probably means a key in the lock on the other side ) ceasing any of the attempts I may want to apply, a shot of anger conflating with the reminiscences of claustrophobic fear injects itself into my body, rendering my head suddenly too heavy with the headache which steps I can almost hear approaching in their imaginary sound. Eventually ㅡ in a split of a second, with eyebrows encountering in a scowl and the bridge of my nose scrunched up ㅡ my hands find themselves in your collar, and pulling at it as I shake you, exclaiming at you.
What the did you just do, you idiot!
@Byun Baekhyun /hums softly to myself when I hear a number of footsteps, coming from both ends of the hallway and lifts my head up, looking to my left and right/
/when I see and hear you, I internally groan since you always seem to be lost or too curious for your own good, having that bad feeling crawl up my spine as I move to the next door down to open it and check that room, sighing to myself in disbelief since you've popped up, now next to me/
How long have you even been working in this club for, Baekhyun? Have you never been down here before?
/I open my mouth, about to explain to you where we are but then those footsteps from the other end of the hallway, around the corner, catch my attention once more and I hear that annoying, infamous cackle of an attempt at a giggle from one certain customer of the club/
/without so much as asking or thinking about anything else, I drag you by the arm, pulling us both inside the room which I was about to check and slam the door shut before anyone saw us, well, more specifically me/
@Park Chanyeol /elated to catch a little break in the midst of an ever so busy night, i slip outside the bar area with a cigarette readily nestled between the roseate flesh of my plush lips, nimble fingers absently toying with the lighter as i wander off to the destination unknown - anywhere suitable for me to welcome the cancerous smoke within my lungs, feet dragging me on their own until i halt and realise that i have absolutely no idea where i am. with a wave of perplexity washing over me and momentarily instilling me with what threatens to evolve into mild anxiety, i scratch the back of my head and attempt to figure out what's the creepy design dancing on the borderline of cringe-worthy for.
that looks like cheap , what the-
/my eyebrows meet briefly as i make a face to display disgust that doesn't falter even when i notice you with the corner of my eye, slipping out of one of the rooms and making me curiously rise one of the eyebrows before my voice shamelessly calls you out.
yo, yeol, what the is this place even?
