THE CLUB
Jay stood infront of the neon lit entrance alone where people were chatting and parking their expensive cars. He was waiting for his best friends to arrive but they both were late by 15 minutes already. "And they said they had already arrived...." he whispered under his breath, tapping his feet continuously.
" Eyyy Jayyy." Ezra shouted from across the street, making him sigh loudly. He was an embodiment of the friend who embarrassed you in public. He was also one of the heartthrob heir with ash blonde hair, plump lips and a few ear piercings. Girls would be swooning over him at parties. He would never miss any parties too, making it hard to believe that he was friends with Jay. It was because they were friends since pre-school. Pretty different from him too as Ezra was really social. Almost everyone in the city knew him.
" He is the only one excited." Harley, his other best friend walked by avoiding people's gazes. The black haired guy was more of a silent judge. His eyes showed depression and tragedy, which he was infact, going through. He was having problem with his own company matters but also with his love life. Which his bestfriends didnt know about because Harley would refuse to tell them at all. So, they just gave up and stopped asking him. The three of them finally entered the club while Jay cursed under his breath.

Charles stopped his car infront of the club's entrance. After climbing out of the car, he sighed as he wasnt in the mood to party. These kind of parties bored him since he had to act fake, yet again. A lot of successful company heirs seemed to be attending so he couldnt lose his chance even he had to act fake. Connections really mattered.
He was pretty much ready to face other fake people approaching him since he was the main target this time because of his no.1 rank. He yawned while entering the bluish lit room filled with disco balls and loud ass music that he hated. People were already dancing half drunk.
Many of the people turned to look at him. Some started whispering with their friends, some gave him a smile which he returned. A fake smile. He directly headed to the vip room located in the upper floor.
After entering ,there were his friends. His business partner friends actually. They were seated on the sofas with drinks on their hands and few girls. Some he recognized who were high ranked heirs too.
"Charles, what made you come so late?" a tipsy bobby asked from across the room. He was Charles only real friend, sort of. They were best friends since childhood and even lived together for few years. Almost like brothers.
They came to give him a hug. "I had some files to finish" he replied half-smiling.
He sat in the corner taking a glass of alcohol from the tray,sipping it. It was bourbon.
One of the girls approached him. She was light-skined with plump lips." Hi i'm Joy park."she extended her hands with a bright smile. He accepted her hands with a light shake,"Im Charles Kim." he smiled, "Good Retails right?".
"Yes!" she replied with a brighter smile.
"nice to meet you. Hope to see you more in the future."he replied. She looked flustered.Sadly pretty girls didnt appeal to him anymore.
He turned his back and the guys were already planning to go to the dance floor.
"Charles lets go to dance man."Bobby started pulling him out. "wait im not ready...."he replied but the boys were all outside ready to dance.

Roseanne entered the club without giving any glance to other people. She directly headed to the bar at the right and found her friends busy with their drinks.
"yah rosie late again" liliane spoke loudly drinking the alcohol.
Jennifer eyed her dress with a smirk. Roseanne knew mentally she was telling 'i like your curves.'
Roseanne rolled her eyes. Yesterday she had been thinking all night about the Charles guy. Enjoying right now was definitely not her goal tonight.
"Awww my rosie being forced to come to this party." half-drunk julia started pulling her cheeks.
"Owww julie that HURTS." she said pulling away from Julia maintaining her distance.
Liliane just laughed loudly which jennifer reacted by covering her ears. Roseanne pulled out her phone and looked at the picture of charles kim that her mom sent her few hours ago.
"This Charles kim guy aint that bad looking though."she said grabbing her friends attention. The guy had blonde hair with black roots. Probably dyed it to stand out....He also had a strong jawline with pretty eyes. As much as she wanted to deny it, he was actually handsome.
Liliane suddenly stopped laughing, " wow Rosie is interested in GUYS??"
"I knew she was straight."julia said hugging roseanne. She started rolling her eyes again.
"yah rosie. I think i saw the guy earlier." jennifer said eyeing the dance floor.
"Rosie , that guy can really trick you", liliane added, "you need to be careful around him."
"I know i know" roseanne said scanning the crowd. Suddenly she saw a familiar guy in the bar across theirs. She took a deep breath getting up."Guys, ill catch with you later."
She headed her way to Charles kim,collecting her hair to the side of her head.Thankfully,he was alone.Once Charles eyes landed on her she smiled at him and he responded.
She sat on the chair next to him."hey, Charles kim right?" she gave a pretty smile. Tonight she was gonna prove her mom that she was capable.
"Yes and you are Roseanne Park?" he said facing her.
"Didn't expect you to know my name." she acted flustered.
"Who wouldn't know the heiress of one of the most successful company." Charles replied smirking," also i respect Mrs.Park a lot."
"Oh really" Roseanne said surprised,"Its a privilege, honestly to listen it from the great Charles kim."
He gave a light laugh,"Do send my regards to Mrs.park."
From the far end of the club, two girls were standing practically judging the people in the club.
"Well look who's flirting with Charles kim." one of the girl said crossing her arms,lifting one of her brows.
"Roseanne park isn't it?" the next girl added squinting her eyes for clear vision.
"She isn't even that pretty like why is she trying duhh.." the first girl added looking annoyed.
"I think she is really beautiful and her naturally skinny waist is to die for-" she spoke realizing the other girl glaring at her," i-i mean she isn't that pretty l-like her waist is too skinny and her hair looks ugly hahah, right Mona?" she looked nervous scratching her head.
"I didn't say she looks ugly Joan." mona added still crossing her arms.Joan gulped and mona continued talking about the way charles and roseanne were enjoying their talks when somebody popped from behind.
"HEY ladies, whatchu talking about?" a guy startled the girls.
Mona rolled her eyes while Joan heaved a sigh placing her hands in her chest.
"Ezra Park nice meeting you here."Joan smiled uncertainly.
"i know long time no meet." he added smiling as well. He looked at the direction where mona was staring at. Roseanne park he thought to himself and smirked.
"okay ladies enjoy the night and do visit our VIP room." ezra winked and left them.
Mona rolled her eyes.
Suddenly, charles's phone started ringing."please excuse me." he said and got up from the chair.
Roseanne breathed heavily asking for a drink to the bartender.
Charles came back and looked at her ," ms.roseanne, I have to leave now. It was a pleasure meeting you and hoping to meet you again soon.maybe?" he looked at roseanne waiting for an answer.
"Ahh s-sure why nott? same goes to you Charles", roseanne faked a pretty smile.
"Then i will leave. Goodnight." Charles said genuinely rushing out.
She looked at his figure with disappointment. "Aish things were going so well." She went back to her friends but they were already on the dance floor.

At the other side of the bar, Harley was bopping his head along with the loud music.He was waiting for his 4th glass of whiskey already.
Suddenly, he heard clicking sounds of camera. He turned around to see a black clothed figure with black mask and hat clicking pictures of someone across the club.The guy looked really suspicious.
Once the suspicious guy noticed him staring, he put away his camera and rushed out of the club .
He was going to follow the suspicious figure but then, "Harley!! come on already."
He turned around to see Ezra calling along with Jay.
"Where's your whiskey?" jay asked confused with harley's recent expression.
"AHH, i got it. Lets go to dance now." harley said pulling them to the dance floor, giving a last glance towards the exit.
