CHAPTER 7
Hyukjae stroll on the empty road toward his house with Kibum and Junsu walk silently beside him. Tonight has been one freaking hell of tiring night for him. Why? The devil is on his duty tonight. Donghae make him do all type of job that his mind ever come across. He’s running here and there, doing every command from his new boss. When he does the tiniest mistakes, Donghae got him scolded by his manager.

Hyukjae got fright of his life when the manager asks Donghae to fire him. He can’t be fired. Not when he got no single cent in his saving. How can he survive the days until he can find a new job? Beside, Hyukjae really don’t want to lose this job. Although he has to face horny man all time, but the pay is good from other job he can get with his high school student status.

But Donghae isn’t pay millionth worth of US dollar, double the actual price of the club for nothing. Well actually not him. His dad did. His birthday is coming soon and his father got no idea what to get him. Car? He already has one. So Donghae make his request. He wants to own a club and that club happens to be Hyukjae’s work club. He chooses it on purpose, of course.

When his fathers ask him why? He just shrugged and answers calmly. “ I just want to train myself into business. I want to be ready from now on. I have to take over your place soon, right? So, I have to set my mind into a businessman set of mind. Don’t you glad you got a passionate son like me?” Donghae’s father smile sweetly at his son totally missing the sarcasm his son saying.

He pats his son’s back and then Donghae is officially the owner of the club on a week worth of time span. Who are they kidding when a barely 18 years old kid own a club. A very famous and successful club at that. No one when it comes to Lee Donghae.

He wasn’t stopping until his aim is achieved. What is it again? Make Hyukjae living hell and make him dropout, duh. And Donghae not least pleased by the way Hyukjae can survive for a week already with some help from his own best friend, Siwon. How could Siwon just ditch their whole life friendship for a new comer, plus the new comer is a nobody. Not even in their standard for their friends’ cycle.

And Hyukjae weren’t stupid to be oblivious to that. He knows it well. But he’ll keep on standing; endure all tricks Donghae have for him until he collapse, literally. He made a promise to himself. Who is Lee Donghae anyway? Despite of the fact that he come from high classes, successful, well known family, and from now on his boss, he just a typical teenage boy. In Hyukjae point of view, a very irresponsible teenager.

But he’s the man of the club now. Every of his command must be followed by a ‘yes’ afterward. Blurted out a ‘no’ then you’ll find yourself unemployed the next second. It happen on the first night Donghae on duty though. Hyukjae’s co-worker, Karam is fired right away when he refuse to go with a customer that request for him.

Donghae is not thinking twice on his action make his entire employee terrified to deny his order. Hyukjae, Kibum and Junsu is no exception.

Flashback

“What? How dare you’re disobeying my word, your new boss?”
“I-I…What? New boss?” Hyukjae blurted out. He was too shock to do anything same as Kibum. They’re gaping at the smirking-more-than-ever Donghae.
“So I guess the managers haven’t told you anything about me owning this place, huh?” And with that, Hyukjae world come crashing down.

KNOCK.

Upon hearing the ‘come in’ from Donghae, the person behind the door turn the knob and reveal himself in the dim room. It’s the manager, Manager Kwon.

“What is it?” Donghae’s voice so cold and low. Maybe didn’t like the lack of timing sense of the old man.

“Its Karam sir. Our loyal customer is requesting for him but he refuse to go.” The manager utter with a voice that quite shaky. Nervous in front of a new boss is not a very good thing for someone’s career. Donghae make a mental note to have a talk with the manager that in charge of his business when he’s not there.

“Still have to ask me? Fired him right away! Does little thing as that has to be told for someone who has 30years of experience in this field, huh?” Manager Kwon just stands there, hanging his head low. Who won’t? Got scolded by a high school kid yet his boss. Plus it was in front of the others barely matured kid.

Feels like his pride has been stepped on.

“Anything else?” Manager Kwon was brought back from his reverie. Donghae pointing at the door as the gesture to the manager to get the hell out of the room.

Donghae turn his body around and found the smirking face of his friend and two dumfounded male namely, Lee Hyukjae and Kim Kibum. While they still struggling to register that Donghae are their new boss, they were surprised again by Donghae’s action firing Karam, their friend.

The news Karam was fired spread like wildfire between the employees. Why not? Karam is one of the worker that got highest request after Hyukjae, Kibum and Junsu. The previous boss wouldn’t go for something as far as firing the asset of their club. And at that moment, on his first day of duty, Donghae has become a ruthless employer for them.

“So still go for your oh-I’m-not-drinking decision?” Donghae snap to both Hyukjae and Kibum. Before Hyukjae could even blink, Kibum grab the dirty tequila that is currently in Changmin’s grasp before gulping the liquid down his throat. Crunching his face at the bitter taste, Kibum try his best to not to puke right there and then.

His throat is burning like hell. Hyukjae goes to Kibum side before taking the glass and toss it somewhere of the table. Grabbing Kibum’s arm, he force Kibum to face him. Donghae and Changmin wear a twin smirk.

“What the hell are you doing?”

Cough. Cough.

“H-Hyung.” Kibum smile a little, hiding his discomfort feeling in his stomach. His stomach is churning, maybe unfamiliar with the new content.

“You shouldn’t have done that.” Hyukjae keep his voice straight although tears is already pooling at the corner of his eyes. Hyukjae try hard to hold it back when it is threatening to fall. He keeps hitting himself in the back of his mind for being a fail brother toward his dongsaeng. He shouldn’t drag into the crisis between him and Donghae.

He cups Kibum’s small face between his palms.

“No, hyung. When he says it, ‘no’ is not an answer. I have to do it so we wouldn’t lose our job. You can’t tolerant alcohol hyung. And I know I can. You really need this hyung, this job. You’ve done so much to me. It’s time for me to return the favor.”

“No Bummie. You’re the one that have done everything for me. Oh gosh, what would Jaejoong hyung do if he knows this?”

“Please hyung, don’t tell Jae hyung. He wouldn’t let me work anymore if he knows. I’m gonna be locked. You know him. Please?” Kibum take Hyukjae’s hand into his, begging for his hyung understanding. The hesitance is obvious on Hyukjae’s face.

“Please hyung. Promise me?” Kibum look straight into the brown orbs of Hyukjae. Slowly, Hyukjae nodding. Kibum sigh in relief before give his sweetest smile to his hyung.

All the while the two are talking, they are oblivious to the other 6 other occupant in the room. Donghae and Changmin smirking in amusement, Yoochun and Nichkhun listening to the conversation intently, Kyuhyun doing no other than playing his precious and beloved PSP. One person left, Yunho. He frowning hearing the name Jaejoong.

Maybe it’s not the one he knows. But the surname is same though. If he is Kibum’s brother, then he is must be Kim Jaejoong.

Kim Jaejoong.

Kim Jaejoong.

‘Aishhhh, what am I thinking? Its not like there’s only one Kim Jaejoong in Korea. It can’t be him. No it can’t. No way.’ Yunho shake his head hard.

‘But this Kibum kids got some resemblance of him. Big doe eye, tall pointy nose and small mouth with red lips. Aishhh, I’m going crazy.’ Yunho got his fourth help of beer for the night. That name must be vanished from his head now.

Back to Hyukjae and Kibum, their moment interrupted by none other than the brat.

“Okay, enough drama. I didn’t pay you for that though. So mind to do your ACTUAL job now?” The word actual that been emphasize make Hyukjae and Kibum grit their teeth for different reason. Kibum gritted his teeth, fighting his urge to land a good punch on both HaeMin handsome face. Meanwhile, Hyukjae gritted his teeth because the ‘actual job’ that Donghae is saying is nonsense.

‘What actual job are you saying when you just make us drink the alcohol?’

And the nights continue with more annoying and absurd order from both Donghae and Changmin to Hyukjae and Kibum.

End of flashback

“Have a rest hyung.” Hyukjae snap out of his train of thought when Kibum’s voice reaches his eardrums. He didn’t realize he was already in front of his house. Bidding him good night, Kibum and Junsu walk straight to their house, the one exactly beside his house.

‘Is it a really ‘good’ night? Well I guess I’ll just say night.’

Hyukjae push the key into the key hole making metal collide noises. But he found the door is already unlocked. His appa is home already? Push the door open, only the dark living room greets him.

‘Appa is drunk again?’

Switch on the lamp, Hyukjae cover his mouth when he sees the house is in total mess. Everything scattered on the floor. The only cabinet in there is being rummaged. When he enters his bed room, it got the same fate as the living room. Everything is a mess. But when he sees a broken frame with his late mother’s picture in it, he burst into tears. He takes the frame and hugs it tight to his chest crying his heart out.

It’s the only thing that he has for the memories of his mother. The only thing his mother left him. Running his finger on the broken glasses, he muttered “ I’m sorry, I didn’t protect this from those man. Mainhe.” Hyukjae say out loud. He was sure it was the shark loan again. Rummage through their small house finding something valuable for his appa’s debt. Thinking that, his crying worsens. Lying on his bed, Hyukjae close his eyes.

“Umma, I miss you. Why did you go left me behind? You should’ve taken me with you. Its hurt, umma. Dads drinks every night after you left us. I’m all alone umma. I’m alone. Sometimes, I just want to left everything behind and go to you. I wanna go to you. Live peacefully up there with you, left this cruel world.” The river of tears on his cheeks is unstoppable.

And then the tiredness kicking into him. Still crying, his eyes slowly closing. His world becomes black when he drifted to sleep. He fell asleep with damp face. That night, he dreamt of his mother come to him with all white attire. When he try to reach for his mother, she start to faded away slowly into the thin air. But before she fully vanished, she mutters the word.

“Bear with it my son. You’ll find something precious behind everything that happens in your life.”

The next morning

Hyukjae walk into the school gate with anxious feeling hoping the Donghae’s minion will leave him alone. He walks straight into his classes without any prank for him that day. It leaves Hyukjae curious but he thankful. Hyukjae notices, the class is extra noisy for the day.

“Have you heard? Lee Donghae is throwing a party at his newly bought club tomorrow. And everyone in this school is invited.” Hyukjae heard a group of boys chanting in front of him.

“Chinja? Woah, this must be fun. I envy him. He owns everything. Looks, money and girls.” The second boy added followed by nods from his friends. Hyukjae roll his eyes at that. Lee Donghae is a god in here. Everybody wants to be with him, want to be him.

At another corner of the classroom, there a group of girls giggling among them selves talking about the same thing. Words like ‘perfect’, ‘wanna be his girlfriend’, ‘handsome’ kept on escaping their gloss covered lips. Must be talk bout the ‘angel’ again. Hyukjae just care less. He doesn’t give a damn bout him.

He folded his arm on the table before put his head on it. Closing his eyes, he tries to reduce the pounding feels in his head from the crying non stop last night. Taking a deep breath, he holds it for a few second then he exhales it with a huge huff. It produces a sound like he sighing.

“Why are you sighing?” A voice make Hyukjae opens his eye. He sketches a smile for the male in front of him. Aside from Siwon, another person that willing to befriend with him is this guy. A rather soft looking yet very strong male. Lee Sungmin. He lifts his head and shakes his head.

“Nothing, Minnie. Just tired.” Hyukjae feels weird calling the nickname because they only know each other for a week and half only. Usually he only calls his really close friends by nicknames. But the latter insist to him to call him that. And the pink lover boy came up with the name ‘Hyukkie’ for him. Sungmin make himself comfortable on the chair beside him. After a good amount of times of silence, Sungmin the first break it.

“For tomorrow, you’re coming?”

“Huh?”

“Haven’t heard the news? Lee Donghae is throwing a party tomorrow night? If Lee Donghae holding it, it going to be a party of the year. Everybody is going. Plus they say, there some surprise from Donghae.”

“I don’t think so Minnie. Lee Donghae hates me and besides I still have to work tomorrow.” Hyukjae told Sungmin half true. Its true he got work. But…..Well he can’t tell that he WORK at that club. Not yet. Nobody knew he work there. Well except a ‘certain’ persons. Sungmin pout and keep rambling about the ‘cool party’ but Hyukjae’s mind is flying far from his body. He can’t help but to have an uneasy feels about this party and ‘surprise’ thing.

‘What surprise are you preparing Lee Donghae?’
