○ le casino

@Daehyun The lightest color of blush adorned Youngjae's face when the other held his hand , he's just not really used to skinships after all. He pursed his lips as the other lead him inside, blinking as he looked around in curiosity, eyes twinkling as he took in the sight of the place, he was never been in a casino before so this was a shock to him, usually, when someone mentions casino to him, he'd imagine a place full of people, the smell of smoke reigning all over the place and it would probably be noisy too. But- this place is just simply elegantly nice, seems pretty comfortable for him too.

He smiled as the other gestured him to sit down, which he happily accepted, sitting down on the comfy couch, eyes gleaming childishly, like a kid in a playground, he was pretty excited after all, especially since the other mentioned this was a place for fun.

"Poison?" he mumbled before tilting his head, eyebrows furrowed as he stared at the host, quite questioning, "But do you have... Hmm, orange juice, please?" his brown eyes staring up at the other male with innocence.

@Youngjae Youngjae's eyes remind Daehyun of the freshly baked buttered croissants served in the Tea Room on Wednesdays. It makes Daehyun happy for some reason or maybe because not many people remind him of food; and being reminded of food is a good thing. In short, he's come to like Youngjae, instantly.

Instead of unlatching his hand, he curls his fingers gently around Youngjae's and they're holding hands and he leads them inside.

The ambiance is chic and modern - it's never changed except there's something solemn hanging in the air. Daehyun thinks that it may just be because there aren't any people around but them. At least they have the place by themselves. He directs a smile towards his patron and he leads them deeper in the casino. He picks a couch and he gestures for Youngjae to sit.

"Drinks? What's your poison?"

@Daehyun A few moments of silence passed and Youngjae blinked rapidly before tilting his head, it seems like the other was spacing out, or so he thought. He furrowed his eyebrows before smiling happily when the other finally snapped out of it, relieved that he didn't need to pinch the other's cheek or something to snap him out himself.

Youngjae puffed his cheeks while listening before nodding firmly, "Ahh... fun! That's great then." he happily. He stared a bit at the other's smirk, feeling his cheeks warm up a bit before he shook it off, smirks are a thing of hosts, nothing new so he should get used to it and stop acting like that- like a girl. He smiled widely at the other, eyes turning into crescents as he reached out to shake the host's hands, "Yeap, Youngjae's the name, nice to meet you, Daehyun."

@Youngjae It startles Daehyun in that refreshing kind of way - like pulling his body out of cold seawater to meet sunlight or dropping himself to a tub filled with bubble froth. The voice sounded like chimes, introducing him the wind when ironically he's knocked out of it. His eyes blink and he stares for too long.

"Oh." He breaks himself out of the trance. "Well," Daehyun reverts to being the host. "The casino's for having fun. We'll do fun here." He places a well-practiced smirk on his face and somehow it's natural this time and he reaches out for a handshake. "I am Daehyun by the way. You must be sir Youngjae?"

@Daehyun Youngjae pursed his lips as he walked along the hallway, apparently, he was going to meet a host in the casino but since he is a new patron, he's still quite unfamiliar with place. So like how he had predicted, he got lost, but nevertheless, it was just for quite a while before he finally arrived witha sheepish smile directed to the person who was waiting for him, "Mian. Got a bit lost." He said then walked closer to the other, "So... what should we do here?" He asked, tilting his head.

@Youngjae Seemingly, the Host Club is back to its original form - no distortions, no molds, no unparalleled reality. Daehyun is satisfied. He walks with purpose towards the casino to meet a new patron. It's been so long, he thinks, since he last met a person and not have the urge to squeeze out blood from a vein. He peeks in and sees no one yet, so he waits in the entrance, singing a song in his head.

* rolls dice * gets a 1

* rolls dice * gets a 5

Daehyun noticed the new corresponding prizes for the dice roll machine. He frowned. Nothing could be useful for his work. He then strutted out of the room to wander off.

@Chen Tao shifted in his seat. "You know.. I'm not allowed to tell." Tao grinned.

@Tao
"Woah!" Chen jumped up from his chair, bringing some attention to him but he couldn't care less. He pulled Tao into a big hug. "That's fantastic! How did you react?" He was sure that Tao liked Lay just as much as the male liked him.

@Chen Tao smiled at the childish behaviour.
"Well.. I don't know.. if you could call it that.. but to me
it felt like he confessed.." Tao said nervously and blushed.

@Tao "Hahh, I win!" Chen allowed himself to dance a little in victory.

"About how you two met! What did you do? What did he say? Please~" He pleaded, curiosity still bright like a child's.

@Chen "Okay, okay! I forgive you... just don't look at me like that! " Tao said and blushed.

"D-details? About what?" Tao asked confused.

@Tao "Ohohoho, tell me the details please~" Chen's eyes sparkled, leaning closer to the younger boy. He loved hearing about other people's lovelife and happiness, even though his own wasn't really big...

"Then what should I do?" Now it was his turn to activate his sad puppy eyes.

@Chen Tao blushed furiously... Thinking about the the date he had with Lay and smiled.
He nodded his head. "Yes..."

Tao pouted again. "Not forgiven.."

@Tao Chen nodded the entire time the boy described his ideal host. He thought he knew a good match... "Have you ever met Lay? " He grinned after taking a sip from his drink.

"Okay okay, Chenchen is sorry." He lift his arms defensively, he couldn't say no to Tao's adorable pout.

@Chen Tao thought about it, his type.. and the first one that came to his mind was Lay.
"Boy... he should be beautiful.. and gentle.. and patient, he should sing me to sleep"
Tao giggled as he remembered Lay's beautiful voice.

Tao pouted. "Don't mock me.."

@Tao
"Oh, I see. I will make sure that there will be a third time too, okay?" Chen nudged the dark boy in a friendly way. "So? What's your type? I mean, host type. Girl? Boy? Silent? Loud? Come on, tell me~

"You are blushing, panda boy~" He chuckled, poking Tao's forehead teasingly.

@Chen "It's just I don't have anywhere else to spent my time, but acutally it's
only my second time here.." Tao mumbled into his hands.
He blushed even more and shook his head. The second time in his life someone called himmcute, he wasn't used to it.

@Tao Chen's eyes widened in confusion.
"Then what did you mean...?"

A bright smile danced on the patron's lips, hearing the small compliment.
"Thank you!" He hugged the other with one arm, careful not to drop his drink. "You look cute too, when you smile~" He poked the younger's hands that covered his face.

@Chen Tao chuckled. "No,no! I'm not homeless!"
He nodded his head... "I see..." he mumbled because he didn't really experienced anything from that.

Tao cooed "Aaaaw...you just looked cute now!"
He himself was surprised that Chen could look cute but as he realized he said that out loud he blushed and covered his face.

@Tao "You know... homeless?" He really didn't want to hurt the other, but his curiosity was really big.
"Anything can be an adventure. Talking with dazzling people, make friends, have parties, just usual stuff. And testing your limits."

Chen cutely tilted his head, not really understanding Tao's reaction.
'Ugh, maybe I looked stupid.' He thought with a small sigh.

@Chen Tao tilted his head confused. "Am I what?"
He blinked his eyes. "Adventure? What adventure you can find in a host club" Tao asked becaus ehe couldn't imagine something possibly close to a adventure in a host club.

Tao blushed as Chen his lips and looked it away. He just thought that this looked really y, stupid panda he scolded himself.

@Tao The smile instantly disappeared from Chen's face and sorry took its place, clenching the patron's heart.
"So... are you... you know..." He felt really awkward right now. "Oh, I came here because I wanted to find some adventure. And I did."

Chen paid the waiter as he arrived with his drinks and took a big sip, his lips in satisfaction.
"Still perfect~" He exclaimed. "See? I told you."

@Chen Tao blushes because he knew his reason was pathetic.
"I don't have anywhere else to go.." he admitted quietly. "And you?"

He took the drink from the waiter and smiled at him. He took a nip and his eyes widened in surprise.
"It's delicious!' he exclaimed and took a two big gulps.

@Tao "I promise you won't regret it. Skittles vodka is one of the best drinks I've ever tasted." Chen smiled at the younger boy encouragingly and patted his shoulder. "Why do you come here? I mean, to the Host Club."

@Chen Tao looked at the waiter.
"I t-take the same... as Chen."
He mumbled hoping the waiter understood him.

@Tao "Well, I ordered skittles vodka, that's my favourite. But if you have low alcohol tolerance..." Chen shrugged apologetically. "You should decide, not me. Or maybe the waiter can help you?"

@Chen "You recommend anything?" Tao asked with a smile.
