@! Woohyun ! "I wouldn't say tickle; more like you've dangled a giant steak in front of a hungry wolf just now. The steak being your words and that hungry wolf being my curiosity of course." Luhan chuckled. The metaphor was comical but not a lie at all; Luhan's curiosity really was peaked at the thought of Woohyun being any kind of daring at all. When the other wriggled his eyebrows Luhan burst into laughter. "So all I have to do is gain your trust huh? Alright challenge accepted." Luhan winked back. "Prepare yourself Woohyun, you asked for it." He joked. Luhan hummed in response to the other's thoughts about how to deal with a customer like the brute from earlier; nodding along in agreement. "Haha, believe me I'm trying but I still can't see it. I'm sure you definitely can though; I'm just too used to seeing the soft side of you to paint a proper picture of seductive Woohyun." Luhan chuckle back.
@*Luhan* Woohyun raised a brow as the other seemed to be interested in knowing his, more daring side rather. He chuckled softly, still with a gentle smile, yet having a playful hint to it. "Did I tickle your curiosity somehow, and you don't stop when you're curious maybe? But it's true, even if I'm outrageously soft. I happen to more likely show it towards people I trust more, who also would like it. So maybe I might still try to keep you intrigued, even if there's a consequence." He wriggled his eyebrows, before he then hummed softly, and at this point he would believe that the older male could pretty much handle himself; he could tell that Luhan knew his ways with most things already, and Woohyun would like to be taught more about it. He smiled softly and muttered a "fine", as he held onto the ice again, the pain subsiding a bit more. "I guess it needs some careful thinking. Although the customer earlier was definitely someone you can get through with that way." He then tilted his head. Although he has been daring, he never became like full-on confident with that yet. He'd be willing to try though, even if it would be a shocker. He then faced the male with interest present in his expression. "It might take me a bit. But I can try since I'd like to come out of my shell. Could you imagine me being completely seductive though?" He let out a soft chuckle.
@! Woohyun ! Luhan raise a brow at the mention of what Woohyun was like in the bedroom. Somehow he couldn't picture it, a very daring Woohyun...no he really couldn't picture it. The thought had him more than curious. "Careful Woohyunnie, I'm a little masterful at pushing someone's limits. Intriguing me with cryptic words like that is the last thing you want to do; trust me." Luhan grinned mischievously. At the other's explanation of his worry Luhan settled with a simple shrug. He couldn't well say he was thrilled about the idea of playing with that customer but if it kept Woohyun from being attacked, Luhan didn't really care. It wouldn't be the first rough session with a jerk he's ever had. "It's fine, really. I can handle him, don't worry about it." Luhan returned the shoulder bump before breaking out in laughter at Woohyun's suggestion. "My way is probably more dangerous if we're being honest; I didn't even know if that would work it was just my initial reflex." Luhan explained. "You've gotta have some kind of radar to pinpoint who'll fall for it and who won't. It's only failed me once but you never really know until you're doing it." The pretty boy frowned thinking back on the memory. "You're handsome enough, you just have to desert the whole 'soft' thing for a moment and go full seductive confidence. It's exhausting but effective."
@*Luhan* Woohyun looked down for a moment and huffed, knowing to himself that sometimes he is apparently too soft and it's working against him at times on top of that. "Still.. I am a Help though, I'm supposed to be obedient.. But I do understand that I need to work on my "obedience" sometimes..." He then looked at Luhan, letting out a soft chuckle as he rubbed his nape lightly. "About the bedroom.. That's another story because I show a more different side, I can be more daring when I want to or the other person wants to in bed. Or rather I have gotten outspoken before, but that's because my patience was pushed beyond limits." He tilted his head, sighing as he remembered the incident a long time ago. "Okay okayyyy, I'll stop apologizing." He let out another huff, then he let the older male do the icing. "I'm just saying... but yes I am worried, but if you think that you would still like it, then just go with it." He winced a bit from the ice on his cheek, but it felt better than before, then nudged the other's shoulder, humming softly and laughing a bit. "Well... Maybe if I worked on myself and come out stronger then I might be able to face him again.... Or at least the next time that I will face him, I'm more ready so that helps... I honestly should try to do it your way sometimes." He pondered, sighing dramatically as he glanced at the older male.
@! Woohyun ! Luhan huffed a chuckle at the admission of Woohyun being soft. It's not like Luhan didn't know that already, the boy was the epitome of soft compared to many others in the brothel, he just didn't expect the other to cave an admit it so easily. "Pft too obedient? That's not obedient Woohyun, that's insanity. Try and grow some guts or something; leave the obedience to the rest of us...it's our job remember?" Luhan comforted, motioning to himself. "Besides, if there's anywhere you want practice being obedient save it for the bedroom or something; or better yet, practice being a hardass there; maybe it'll help you be more outspoken or something." The pretty boy shrugged but rolled his eyes once more at another apology. "Stop saying sorry, I didn't do it to save you; I did it to get into my room that you two were so inconveniently blocking the way to." Luhan scoffed in mock distaste. When Woohyun asked about his plans with the customer Luhan smiled, raising a teasing brow toward the younger. "Are you worried about me now Woohyunnie?" Luhan reach up to take the ice from the other giving another inspection before taking it upon himself to replace it on his cheek, icing it for him instead. "It's fine really; you know I like rough play. Besides, if you cancel it who do you think he'll come after? He'll have you hemmed in another corner somewhere and I may not be able to save your handsome next time you know. This whole thing would be counterproductive if I did that and I don't trust you not to get hit again honestly." Luhan grinned jokingly.
@*Luhan* Woohyun let out a soft sigh, wondering to himself why he couldn't bring himself to actually snap back immediately at someone who is already practically being beyond offensive towards him. He then slightly nodded, smiling a bit although wincing afterwards because of the pain on his cheek. "I'll try to do that next time..." Letting the older male check his cheeks, he followed the other to room, sitting down on the bed as he was still recovering from the embarrassment and struggle of having such encounter with an ill-mannered customer. He thanked Luhan as he then took the ice pack, bringing it over to his slapped cheek to let it soothe the pain for a bit. He jutted his lips out lightly, before then letting out a chuckle and facing the other as he turned his body towards Luhan's direction. "I'm just... really soft.. probably. I don't have quite the guts to get back on those people easily... Or I don't know, maybe I'm too obedient sometimes, you could see. Sorry about that though and thank you for taking care of this whole thing... I'll work on it... Are you really going to choose to play with that customer? Or.. we'll cancel that out?" He asked in curiosity as he stared at the other intently.
@! Woohyun ! The moment the angry brute was gone Luhan let his "working persona" drop quickly, turning his attention to a now head bowed Woohyun spewing apologies and thanks. The pretty boy rolled his eyes with a scoff at the action but hid a smile nonetheless. "If you're that thankful maybe you should try sticking up for yourself next time." Luhan huffed stepping toward the other to get a better look at Woohyun's face. His hands on Woohyun's face turned the other's head left and right, inspecting the damage done by the customer's hit, before Luhan sighed again and brought his hand to Woohyun's wrist instead. Leading him into his own room Luhan sat Woohyun down on the edge of his bed before disappearing and reappearing with ice wrapped in a towel. "Your face is red so you should probably ice it." He said handing over the makeshift ice pack. "So what is it with you? Do you have a kink for being yelled at or are you really just that soft? How could you let the guy hit you like that? Seriously; you make me wanna hit you now for not defending yourself." Luhan scolded plopping down next to Woohyun on the edge of his bed.
@*Luhan* Woohyun wanted to just escape from the mess at that time, but it didn't seem like the customer was going to stop telling him off, or at least even if he does apologize and try to redeem himself, the man didn't seem to care. He didn't want to end up breaking down in front of him though, as his hands were slightly shaky at that time and he was almost teary-eyed, However, to his surprised, Luhan was just around and happened to witness the ruckus, and made an interruption between him and the customer, and the other male was apparently handling it pretty well for him, given how the customer reacted once Luhan made his presence, and tone down the anger that was evident. Woohyun just watched over the scene, his mouth a bit open as he decided to keep quiet, as he could see the man being obviously by what Luhan was saying and doing. "Make sure you do that job right then, you. Set it up and don't screw up, I'm giving him a try when I come back. At least he seems promising and... alluring." The man, who was at least more composed than before, then looked at the other male from head to toe, touching his sides before making his way out of the brothel. Woohyun then bit his lip softly, as he took some time to recover from the man's actions before glancing at Luhan with a bow of his head and an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry that you interrupted... It was really okay to let it be... But thanks for helping me on that. I owe you one on that." He uttered, expressing his thankfulness as it would have been a different scenario if Luhan didn't step in on his situation.
@! Woohyun ! Luhan had just been walking back from the cafeteria when he heard the loud shouting right in front of his door. He sighed peeking over to find "boss man" Woohyun being hemmed up by a foul mouthed customer with an obvious temper tantrum. The guy was practically spitting vulgarity in his face and Woohyun just stood there like some kind of idiot. Luhan shrugged, turning away to let the problem mellow out on its own. "If he wants to get yelled at, that's his problem." He scoffed. It was when he heard a loud smack that had Luhan stopping in his tracks and sighing in annoyance . Within seconds he loosening the buttons on his already barely there shirt and swaggering toward the commotion. "Excuse my interruption," Luhan drawled, catching the customer's attention. The way the guy's eyes roamed him even for that split second Luhan knew it'd be a piece of cake. "But this is my room here, so I'd personally like to apologize for his incompetence." He gave that smooth smile paying no attention to any reaction from Woohyun as he focused on sandwiching himself between the two and backing the customer away from Woohyun skillfully. "We're really sorry about the slave situation; you're right, you deserve an even more quality slave. But in the meantime, while they work this out, if you'd like...I'm sure we can work out something of our own hmm?" A slight tilt of his head and sliding his hands up the man's chest had his attention faltering between Luhan's actions and the urge to yell at Woohyun some more. "I'm no slave, but I've heard I'm pretty good at doing what I'm told. Give me a try hmm? I swear I'll be good." Luhan whispered dragging down the man's last shred of anger turning it into visible lust. He grinned at how easy it was to soothe a jerk with words and a few touches. "Of course you have to go through proper procedure and all that; right Woohyunnie?" Luhan snapped everything back to reality turning to look at Woohyun. "If he goes and sets up an appointment, we can have fun later right?" Luhan didn't care to know much about how everything worked at the brothel but if it got this jackass out of his room for now that's all that mattered.
@*Luhan* "Then give me a better slave!! I told you to make sure he is here when I come back-- Maybe you should take his place but will you even be a good one?" Just outside a brothel room, a hot-tempered, mature customer just kept being furious and snapping at Woohyun, who decided to stay quiet and just let the other male talk out at him, to the point where he was already cornered to the wall by the man as he wanted to retaliate, but he couldn't. The slave the customer was talking about was already bought so he didn't have a choice. Biting his lip, he tried to make more apologies and looked at the man. "I'm sorry... But we'll do a better job next time--" A hand then slapped his cheek, making him wince and touch his cheek a bit as it stung for a moment, as the man then stepped back, scoffing.
I think Joshua has to leave. I've been too preoccupied with school and I'm in a too horrible mindset to be rping. I'll probably be back someday and will hopefully, actually be active at that point. Good luck and best wishes to everyone!
