The heir to the nightclub

— Esquisito-shi, don't you realize I'm dying of embarrassment yet? Don't you realize your request is ridiculous? Do you think I'm some kind of monster? Forget everything I said or did. For the last time, leave me alone! — I whisper, but it feels like I'm shouting. I take steps toward him, pushing him, and he gives in until he's pressed back against the wall.

— I'm just curious! Just once, but we could go on a date too, I don't mind taking it slow...

— I don't want any more contact with you! I've told you a thousand times to stay away from me!

— I don't want to touch you either, Park Salin, don't get it twisted. And please, don't touch me! — I felt offended. My hand was on his chest, and I could feel his heart pounding like crazy. So, I removed my hand. — But we can take it slow. — He added.

— You're weird.

— Salin, is everything alright? — Yoma appeared, towering and determined to stop this. I wonder if we were shouting too loud.

I looked at Yoma and then at the man again. Then, I turned and decided to leave. But Min Jun-Ho grabbed my arm. I glared at him fiercely and pulled away.

Thankfully, he didn't follow me anymore.

— Who was he? He seemed your type.

— I don't really know who he is, but he's obsessed with me.

— Salin... you...

— I have JP, but I admit he's hot.

— Will you give him a chance?

— Never. — I assert.

(...)

He was warm, his kiss was warm, and he held my waist like it was his.

I was suffocating from the kiss. As his hands roamed freely across my body, I desired him. I didn't know who he was, I only knew he kissed well and that I wanted him, almost as much as... It's better if I don't think about that weird guy right now.

He lifted me and placed me on the bathroom sink. I was ready for this.

But then, suddenly, a group of men entered the bathroom. I froze immediately. If this continued, I could develop a trauma. The man who had been kissing me pulled away at the same time.

— Screw it. — He said, simply leaving me there.

I felt like a gnome. The sink was too high for me to get down easily.

As if reading my mind, one of the men came over and helped me down. I was confused. Am I a royal alien and the Men in Black came to get me?

— The boss wants to see you tonight.

I blinked more times than necessary.

— Who?

The bar owner? Or their boss?

The same man who helped me down extended his arm, pointing in the direction I was supposed to go.

I thought about running, but someone was already at the door too.

I always knew that, at some point, a powerful guy would notice my beauty.

Have you heard that, if Aphrodite were a man, he would look like me?

I walked nervously down the endless corridors of the place. I didn't know it was so big back there.

They opened a door for me, and I entered, feeling pressured.

I shouldn't be surprised. But it was that man again.

This time, he was different. His hair was slicked back, and he was dressed like a CEO.

— Salin-shi. — He smiled, just as he had done before.

— What the hell. You're not gonna do anything to the guy who was with me, right? Leave him alone.

His smile disappeared. In its place, his eyes widened and he pouted.

— Don't kiss anyone else.

— I... — Every action he takes is hard to process. He contradicts himself all the time. He's such a unique guy. — I'll do whatever I want.

He sighed and gestured for me to sit. So I did.

— I lied.

— I suspected, but be more specific.

— I lied when I told you I felt nothing. But I've been crazy since you kissed me. I'd like to try again and see that.

Min Jun-Ho looked like a shy virgin. Strangely, a shy virgin. If he kept this persistence up, I might go blind from rolling my eyes too much.

— "That"? What's "that"?

Now that I think about it, he doesn't seem to have a clue. He says he feels nothing, but with me, he feels different. Very twisted talk. Although it was me who provoked him that night.

He paused.

— That thing you were doing when I got to your house. It was really strange. It was different. I'd like to see it again.

He's crazy.

— What a psycho talk! No, never, never! You invaded my privacy.

— Do it and your debt will be forgiven.

— And who are you to say that? The founder of Goden?

His expression changed.

— I'm Min Jun-Ho, Park. I'm the second son of the Min family. I'm not a janitor here, I'm the owner.

I don't get along with chairs, I always fall off them easily. If I were sitting in one now, I'd fall.

— Nothing you say makes sense...

— I'm telling the truth.

Holy shit! I, a mere debtor... As if it wasn't bad enough to have kissed a Goden collector, I kissed the damn son of the Goden leader! And worse, he knew everything?

— You... from the start...

— No, just coincidences. I'm not going to do anything bad to you. Just let me slowly discover if I can love someone for real, in every way you want.

He kept talking as if the previous information was no big deal. But I soon pulled myself together. If he really wanted to hurt me, he would've done it already.

I gathered my courage. I had to be strong.

— Get a grip, I don't love you, and I don't want anything from you. And since you can't force me to accept, leave me alone! — I finished.

— Arh. — He seemed frustrated. He squinted his eyes as if tasting something bitter. — So there's no way? — He asked, his eyes fixed on me. — Let me at least know more about myself and why I feel different around you. Let's go on a date.

— Again with this story! I don't want to!

It's tempting to have my entire debt paid off, and I'm impressed that it's worth so much. But I don't even like him. If I did, I'd do it for free.

— If you change your mind... — He said, confident, handing me a card with his number.

— I won't.
