It was a Friday night, meaning FeverDream's patron count is larger than usual. It was almost opening time, and standing out amongst the vibrant lights of the inner city were 2 long lines of what must have been 50 people minimum, eagerly awaiting to enter the club. 4 security guards flanked either side of the main entrance, silently and meticulously scanning their surroundings for any signs of disputes or conflict.

The clock struck 9PM. Right on time, 2 bouncers in colorful satin suits walked out from behind the platinum double doors of the main entrance, each one stationing themselves at one of the 2 lines. With nothing more than a simple nod and tilt of the head in acknowledgement towards security, the women began checking people into the club.

. . .

Yoohyeon didn't understand why the meeting had to be conducted here of all places. A nightclub? Was Yoohyeon going to be able to even hear Tiffany? Shifting her body left and right, Yoohyeon tried to get a better gauge of just how many people were in line in front of her. Although she couldn't count a clear number, just the visual and commotion of countless people in front of her was enough to inform Yoohyeon that she would be waiting for quite some time to get in. With a sigh of defeat, she unlocked her phone and looked back on her messages with Tiffany.

Today, 5:27pm

[Tiffany]: Hey Yooh! :) For tonight's meeting, let's change the ambiance a bit and celebrate 10 years of safety! After all, after today, I'll only get to see you once every 2 months :(

I really don't understand why you're going to all these lengths eonnie, but ok. Send me the address and time, and I'll be there  :[Yoohyeon] 

[Tiffany]: Great! And lighten up a bit Yooh! I just wanna dance and have fun! 

Don't you still have rehearsals for the Chicago Musical tomorrow? Is getting hammered really the best idea?  :[Yoohyeon]

[Tiffany]: Relax, I'll be fine. I actually have off tomorrow since I'm going on a date with Taeyeon <3

For the safety of both yourself and your date tomorrow, I'll monitor your drinking.  :[Yoohyeon]

[Tiffany]: Sometimes I wonder whether I'm the one taking care of you or if you're actually the one taking care of me... Regardless, I'll see you later tonight!

Today, 9:02PM

Hey eonnie I might be a bit late. Still waiting in line outside the club. I assume you're inside already? :[Yoohyeon]

[Tiffany]: Yeah I'm already inside. I have special VIP treatment here, for...reasons. Anyways, I can tell a guard to call you in early if you want? We have a lot to talk about anyway.

That would be great actually. How will they know who to look for? Should I raise my hand or something?  :[Yoohyeon]

[Tiffany]: I described your physical appearance to them, but yeah you should also wave your hand just in case. Someone should be looking for you already.

Indeed, at that moment there was in fact someone looking for her. From a distance away, Yoohyeon spotted a tall, intimidatingly gorgeous woman in a brightly colored satin suit headed her way. If it weren't for the woman's in-ear and a name tag that read "Lee Yoobin", she could have easily been mistaken as a patron rather than a staff member.

"Are you Miss Kim Yoohyeon?" Asked the intimidating beauty.

"Yes that's me."

"Proof of ID please."
