It was much later in the night, when Rinyoung's phone began to ring— vibrating on her chest, as she had fell asleep watching a Kdrama, and sending small sensations through her upper body. It continued to ring for a few more minutes until the girl had finally chose to wake up and check the commotion. Sleep still hanging over her, her heavy eyelids were forced open. Her chocolate orbs weren't met with the usual bright morning rays that filtered through her dull curtains, but they instead landed on the dark ceiling of her bedroom that she could barely recognize from the lack of light.

Groggily she sat up, her duvet and phone falling to her lap. She didn't want to talk to anyone especially someone who had woke her up from her sleep, but her phone wouldn't stop ringing.

Mindlessly, she picked up her device and slid her thumb across the screen. Rinyoung held it up to her ear and whispered quietly. "Hello?"

"Rin, what are you doing up so late?" Jaemin scolded through the phone, making the girl furthermore grumpy.

"I wasn't awake, you ass. You woke me up!"

"Okay, okay, sorry. But me and the other boys need your help." The last word made her eyes widen, completely making all of her gears in her head turn.

"Help? Where are you guys—" She closed her eyes in frustration, listening as the loud background noise layered over Jaemin's voice.

"I'm gonna send you an address, and I need you to sneak out and meet me there." The boy answered ominously, making Rinyoung feel slightly frightened at his tone.

"What—" interrupting her, the other side of the call went dead silent, as the Na hung up hurriedly. Dropping her hand to her lap, she looked up at her ceiling, cursing and groaning. "This better be important." She grumbled, throwing off her blanket, then heading to her closet to get dressed.

Rinyoung quickly stripped of her pajamas and put on a pair of leggings and a hoodie, not caring whether she looked like a hot mess or not.

She rushed back to her bed and grabbed her phone, then took her keys from the bedside table, all as she slid on her bunny slippers.

She couldn't believe what she was doing, especially in the case of sneaking out again when the last time she remembered Taeyong clearly not liking the idea of it.

Rinyoung breathed in a big breath of air and exhaled it, getting rid of most of her nerves as she pushed her bedroom door open. She slipped passed her wooden frame and began to make her way down the hall. She felt deja vu doing this, remembering a previous night from a few weeks ago. This time, she hoped Johnny wouldn't find her creeping about.

As she reached the end of the corridor and at the top of the stairs, she felt her heart ease and slow its fast pace. Now that the hard part was done, she just worried about what she would have to deal with at Jaemin's mysterious location.

. . .

Stepping outside of her car with her bunny slippers, Rinyoung immediately deadpanned. Her eyes raked over the trashy car repair shop that sat in front of her. The girl hesitantly locked her car and walked forward, her steps halting as she was a few feet away from the front door.

Through the large opening, she investigated the area from afar, but as she was about to look further, a voice called out to her.

"You're finally here! Thank god." Jaemin shouted, jogging out of the garage, beads of sweat running down the sides of his face, making his black shirt stick to his body.

"Yeah, and why at this place?" The girl questioned, glancing up at the vibrant sign that flickered, 'indigo repair'.

"Uh— you'll see, just follow me and don't touch anything, talk to anyone or drink anything."

"What—" cutting her off, Jaemin swiftly grabbed her hand and dragged her into the shop. "Isn't this trespassing?" She asked, nervous of what they were doing.

"Shh." He shushed her bringing her behind the front counter area and to the employees only door. Momentarily, he let go of her palm and raised his fist to the wood. He knocked twice, and allowed his arm to fall to his side, grasping Rinyoung's wrist.

"What-"

Before Jaemin could reply to her, the door began to rattle. It shook violently, as a tiny rectangle was pushed to the side, revealing a pair of eyes.

"Password." The husky voice grumbled.

"Fever oil." Jaemin rushed, tapping his feet restlessly. The man on the other side closed the little slit and opened the door. Pass the wood, was a long dark hallway that was lined with mirrors and looked as if the room was illuminated by indigo lights. Jaemin scoffed, seeing a new worker open the door.

Jaemin dragged Rinyoung with him as he entered, a heavy scowl sprawled out on his facial features. The boy only walked a few feet before he turned back around, halting both his and the girl's footsteps.

"Hey, hotshot." He cooed, almost maliciously in a mocking tone. "Just know, I'm one of the V.I.Ps of Indigo, so I'd suggest you to recognize my face before it's the last thing you see." Finishing his sentence with a menacing smile, the front worker flinched. "Thanks anyway, sweetheart." Turning back around, Jaemin's hand tightened around Rinyoung's wrist as they traveled further down the corridor.

A heavy bass and loud music made the ground shake beneath them.

The pair continued to walk in silence, the lights slowly dimming as the hallway came to an end.

"I'm surprised you're not asking questions," The Na laughed, removing his grip from her and turning his attention to the digital lock on the door in front of them.

"I eventually learned to not ask after getting interrupted." Rinyoung shrugged, watching as the boy punched in a numeric code.

A small 'ding' resonated from the door, allowing Jaemin to push it open, revealing a large staircase that led to a club that also merged with a casino.

"Welcome to Indigo Aura." He announced, ushering the girl forward. As she entered, the stench of sweat mixed with hard liquor and cigarette smoke enveloped her senses.

"God, what is this? A black lung club with the occasional alcoholic and gambler?" Rinyoung groaned, not ready for whatever laid ahead.

welcome to indigo aura, ur local blind tiger.
