YEONJUN POV:
————————

I look at myself in the mirror hanging in my dressing room, not quite satisfied with the sight of my jet black hair sticking out at odd places where it shouldn't. I ran my hand through it trying to fix my fringe which seem impossible to maintain. After a good minute or so, I give up and brought a straightener, I brush my hair and let them fall over my forehead. Looking closely at my single lidded eyes I couldn't miss the small blood vessels streaking across the whites, the evidence of lack of sleep because of my staying till late of the night studying. I wouldn't deny that I am mentally and physically exhausted, I even wonder if all of these really worth it?

Anyway, I woke up this morning disoriented and with a massive headache, similar to a hangover as I had slept only for 3 hours and half. I looked over at the clock on my bedside table. It was 8am. Still pretty early seeing that I didn't need to head to the university till 11. The headache was almost unbearable so I pulled myself out of bed, made my way to the bathroom and got myself two tablets of aspirin.

It was then my phone rang, vibrating in sync on the wooden surface of my bed stand, made the pounding headache amplifying every sound.
I strode toward the phone and answered it, seeing it was Soobin hyung, asking me to drive him at 10 as he had trouble with his car. I couldn't turn him down so I agreed to drive him once I got ready. Soobin-ssi is my friend since, well let me see, uh, since he enrolled to my middle school for about ten years or something.

At the age of 22, I am almost done with my education. Less than a year later and I would be getting the diplomas and then see what I would be doing for the rest of my life. It isn't really something that I am worried about though. I am so tuned to what I like and what I am good at, I am almost certain where out postings would place me. I would be placed in a petroleum engineering field somewhere or I would be in my father company. You know, I don't really expect my life to be any sort of exciting as everything is laid out for me and that's the way life goes on.

However, my life is almost perfect. Yes, I have a great set of parents, strict but caring. Loving siblings and close friends I call family. I said almost, because my life is missing one thing that I desperately want which is to find someone to settle down with.

At the University all what Ph. Bowman is explaining about the fluid mechanics gone with the wind. Four consistent hours with the same class on how to analyze fluids at rest (fluid statics) and fluids in motion (fluid dynamics) is literally a brutal torture if I just want to sleep again.

After I finished the class I walk to the quitest place I could find before the next session of Petroleum Geology, to reduce my anxiety and make my mind up. Kkyu skipped today's class again, I doubt he even cares about it. He always says he is flat out and only god knows what is he busy with. I sit under the large tree, silently lost in my own thoughts listening to the music when my friend— Lee Heeseung taps me on the shoulder which makes me visibly flinched. 

- ' What are you doing Mr. Nerdy?'

He giggles, makes me a bit confused

- ' Nothing just..uh..reviewing what I've learnt this day.'

I answer back, couldn't find a solid lie more than just review my lessons.

- ' As I told you, a nerd!' 

He smirks

- ' Did you mean I'm a freak!?'

- ' No I didn't mean that, I just..'

- ' Yes I know what the meaning of the word but I'm not. If I don't review my lessons there will be troubles waiting for me.'

- ' Ok drop it. I truly apologize if I offended you!'

- ' Uh, no worries, mate.'

- ' So what do you have this evening?'

Hee asks. I shake my head nothing special.

- ' So do you want something ace?'

He asks again and I nod after hesitation

- ' What do you have in this mind?'

I ask Hee who sits down on the grass with me.

- ' Something you won't regret it. Personally when I feel bored or I don't have anything to do, uh..I go clubbing, it's not far away from here by the way.'

He answers. I look at him wondering. I somehow could feel that there is something behind his words.

- ' What kind of a club?'

I therefore inquire cautiously.

- ' Well, uhm, it's a bar, but there are also some erotic dancers there.'

He replies, blushing a bit.

- ' What?!'

I swallow, I couldn't believe what Heeseung just said. I doubt I heard his words right.

Are we, two blokes, supposed to go to a strip club together?

I don't know, I just find the idea ridiculous. I have never been in a club like that before, but after all I am not so old, and because of my social status and family background, I couldn't have been seen on a club like that anywhere where I live. My parents are very respectful and upstanding in the community.

I reckon for a while, from one side my family reputation, in another hand my life is almost idle and boring, I have never tried to live otherwise

- ' Is it a strip club?'

I ask

- ' What's wrong with that?'

Hee asks leaning against the tree,

- ' .. plus there's hot chicks and I really want to have fun!'

He adds and an evil smile etches on his face.

I blush madly after I heared Hee's answer.

I have never been in such clubs. I bow my head thinking of the brunet's offer, after all I also love the adventures and taking chances. Who knows maybe this will be a golden opportunity for me to find the one I'm seeking.

- ' So what is your answer?'

Hee pulls me out my thoughts.

- ' I don't know, I've never been in one of those clubs, so I have no idea what those places are like. well, I do have some idea, I guess!! But not really.'

I shrug once, still confused. Maybe Hee feels my confusion since he tries to clear everything for me

- ' Everything has a first, Yeonjun-ssi.'

He winks at me and grins like chechire. I don't speak but I sink into my thoughts once again. The thing is: it will be embarrassing for me to see some people stripping from their cloths, I could probably have a heart attack.

- ' Don't worry, they only strip on weekends, so today they'll only dance, no awkward situations.'

He comfirms, wants to convince me to accompany him. I look at the brunet once again and then nod my head.

- ' I can guarantee you that you will love it and will have fun, especially with me and Rosie.'

He plays with his brows up and down excited

- ' What!!?? Rosie!!??"

I ask startled, mentally I am about to hang my  neck.

Will I go to see stripper dancers with Rosie???!!!

- ' Yes with Rosie!! Is there any problem?'

- ' No I didn't mean but, to go to such place with a girl..'

I bite my lips

- ' You don't have to feel ashamed, Rosie is cool and easy going.'

Hee answers, sipping from a bottle jouice he brought with

- ' Fine, I think I could come then.'

I reply, I don't have any plans for tonight anyway.

- ' Bonza!!'

- ' Anyway, try to wear the sexiest cloths you have and..  no business-like suits please.'

He suggests and I frown my brows instantly but then I nod

- ' I'll try.'

I laugh, a bit insecure about all what is going to happen, I am —however, burning with interest and curiousity at the same time.

- ' Should I come to your place to pick you up so we can walk there together?'

He asks and I decline his offer quickly, because I don't know what he would say if Taehyun would ask him casually.

- ' I think we could meet somewhere else, uh,  maybe at your place.'

I suggest and he nods happy.

- ' Ok then. Get ready for the craziest night you'll ever have! I assure you, you will never forget it!'

Heeseung says standing up, leaving me reckoning again in what is going to happen in this new experience I am about to walk in.
