From Day One | JENSOO

Chapter 18

Disenchanted.

Jisoo had just finished another set and was at her locker, ripping open a new package of tank tops after using her last one. The air conditioner had yet to be fixed and the club was filled with people, as per usual. Jisoo had hoped the weather would cool now that winter was nearing but it continued to be abnormally hot and humid.
 
She straightened the thin cotton over her stomach and walked to the table where her phone was buzzing with a text. It was from Jinyoung.
 
[just letting you know, I saw Chanyeol making his way to the lounge]

Jisoo muttered a quick curse before frantically gathering her things to leave. She got to the door and swung it open, only to reveal Chanyeol with a swelling cheek.

"Shit, what happened?" she asked him as he breezed by her to get to the refrigerator.

"This idiot thought it'd be cute to try to get inside even after I told him we were over capacity. He threw one at me after I pushed him off."

He took an ice pack from the freezer and put it to his face. The club kept ice packs at hand since there was bound to be someone who wanted to pick a fight against the bouncer. Chanyeol hadn't ever lost though.

He noticed Jisoo had her jacket on. "Are you done for the night?"

"Yea, I was heading out."

"Cool, I'll walk with you," he said, taking the pack with him.

Jisoo opened her mouth to refuse but she saw his reddened cheek and hid her grimace. They made their way through the crowd and Jisoo had to slap his hand away when it drifted from her lower back to her butt.

Chanyeol tried to defend himself once they reached the parking lot. "It was dark, I didn't see!"

She was used to his excuses. "Whatever, Chanyeol. You can leave now."

He continued to follow her until she accidentally dropped her keys and had to bend down to pick them up. When she lifted her head she caught him looking down her shirt.

"For God's sake, Chanyeol," she yelled out.

"I was just appreciating them. They're very nice and—"

She really didn't want to hear him talk about her chest. She poked him in his hurt cheek roughly and he brought his hand up in pain.

"That hurt!"

"Good."

She unbuckled her helmet from the motorcycle as he rubbed his bruise. He stopped her just as she sat on the bike.

"Wait, I actually need to talk to you about something."

"What is it?"

Her patience was running out and he was to blame.

"Has Suho talked to you about what he's going to do with the club for winter break?"

"We had a meeting about this, Chanyeol. He said he was going on vacation so he's closing it down for that week."
 
"I know that, but has he mentioned anything about other work? In a different club?" She put her key in the ignition and rested her hands on the gas tank.

"No. Why? Has he said something to you?"

Suho knew of Jisoo's situation so he always gave her tips when clubs were looking for DJs. She needed all the work she could get to pay for bills and other necessities.

"I just overheard something but I didn't know if it was true."

"If there's anything, I'm sure he'd tell us."
