THIRD PERSON POV

Bustling people walked to and fro, down the roads as cars passed by swiftly on the road. Bright billboards hung from the sides of the building, street lamps drowned out by the illumination of each neon sign. The loud chattering of drunks on the edges of the streets caused the public to avoid them, to prevent being harassed for money, or sexually for women. The thousands of pairs of feet clobbered against the concrete footpath. 
One of the most popular clubs in Tokyo, the FNN club is well-known for its well-lit atmosphere and high standard alcoholic beverages. It resided under the tallest office building in Central Tokyo and is one of the main reasons for its popularity, as it attracted the attention of many. What many did not know, is that this tall office building was owned by Bonten, the criminal organisation terrorising Tokyo. Bonten is known for being engaged in many illegal practices, including gambling, fraud, prostitution and murder, just to name a few. The identities of the members of Bonten were kept under wraps, with the police force only knowing the identity of the leader, Sano Manjiro. The building owned by Bonten was their office and home. On the top floor, the executives would live there together, with their own rooms and a bathroom shared amongst two members. From the top and counting nine floors down, each executive would have a floor to themselves, to use as they liked, for work, recreation etc. The other fifty or so floors would be used as storage for items, whether that be weapons, torture chambers, living quarters for the prostitutes, drug storage, you name it.

Inside the FNN bar, loud music boomed from the large speakers, the DJ hyping up the crowd. Bodies clashed together, jumping up and down to the beat of the music. The clinking of drinks and alcohol could be heard at every square metre of the club. At the very back of the club, was the bar. The bartenders were rushing back and forth, serving up drinks after drinks. Little did the public know that the very bartender serving them drinks was the one and only advisor and mediator of Bonten, L/N Y/N. 

Y/N was under the name of Nakatani Hana while working at the club. She continued to wear her black face mask when working, to protect herself from any jeering comments about the scars on the edge of her lips as well as her identity as a Bonten executive if she was to get caught. Comparing her looks from a decade ago, you could almost say that she was unrecognisable. Her hair was layered, in the most amazing way. The top half of her hair was cut short, reaching her shoulders, a perfectly straight cut, bleached white. The bottom half of her hair was kept black in colour, reaching under her breast. When she let her hair down, the clash of the monochromatic colours would blend, creating the most beautiful mix. But she would only let her hair down when she was away from the bar. The bottom half was always tied up into a tight low ponytail, where the bottom layer would be tucked into the collared work shirt. Sure, it seems uncomfortable, but it was something Y/N had to get used to since she was the only member being exposed to the public as much. But the Bonten members were always grateful for Y/N's FNN club, as not only did it bring in extra money to them, it also gave them the opportunity to listen in to any conversation going on within the bar, since there would be the occasional gang gossip, whether that be in the VIP rooms, or in amongst the public. 

She continued to make drinks, throwing up the shaker in the air, and catching it and pouring the mixture into the glass, before handing it to the customer. The other bartenders and colleagues at the FNN had no idea of her history with delinquents and Bonten and only knew of her as the manager and owner of the FNN club. 

The recent news about Bonten leaving the FNN club was done intentionally, to bring more fear to the name of Bonten, however, it left quite a bit of impact on the FNN club, as customers began to understand the risk of unintentionally meeting with any Bonten members. Y/N paid no mind to it, continuing her work and serving up the drinks ordered by the customers. 
The VIP rooms were to the right of the bar, where Y/N would only allow certain people with special passes to enter through. The special gold passes were like credit cards, with 'FNN' pressed onto them. It had to be shown to Y/N before she would enter the special passcode into the door lock. The door would open slowly, revealing a dimly lit hallway, with multiple soundproof rooms on each side of the hallway. Y/N would show the VIPs to their designated rooms, and show them the way in. Inside each VIP room was a large black leather sofa, a small cabinet and a mahogany table. In the cabinet were multiple packets of condoms and other necessities. On the table was a small tablet, in case beverages were to be ordered by the VIPs. No one other than Y/N would make and serve these drinks to the VIPs, so she would usually be rushing back and forth with the drinks. She would be busy, but thankfully the FNN club was only open on Fridays, and on the weekend from 5 pm-3 am. Y/N would take the rest of the week off, resting or engaging in other Bonten duties.
At the end of the hallway, there was T-split, where there would be a VIP exclusive bathroom, left for males, right for females. On the wall right in the middle of the T-split, there was another door. Many VIPs immediately thought of this room to be a storage cabinet for cleaning supplies, since many had seen Y/N enter the door with rubbish bags and exit the door with a broom or mop in hand. But this was an act, to get the VIPs to think it was just a plain storage room. Y/N would almost always disappear into this door once the club closed for the day. Inside this room, behind the shelf storing equipment was a secret elevator. Like the VIPs needing a special pass, Y/N carried a card key that would give her access to the elevator. The elevator would not work without the swiping of the key card. The elevator would take her up into the building owned by Bonten, where all the Bonten members resided. 

The Bonten members consisted of:

- The Leader of Bonten, Sano Manjiro, otherwise known as Mikey

- Bonten's No. 2, and L/N Y/N's boyfriend, Haruchiyo Sanzu

- Bonten's No. 3, Kakucho Hitto

- Bonten's Executives, Haitani Ran and Haitani Rindou, Kokonoi Hajime, Akashi Takeomi and Mochizuki Kanji

- Bonten's Advisor, L/N Y/N

With these members, living and working together in the large office building was more than a little chaotic, with petty arguments arising from every corner. Yet, there were many good times in the Bonten building, where everyone, nearly everyone would get along. The peacemaker would almost always be Y/N, if not Takeomi, where calming the angered was the top priority, before someone would blow off the others' head.
