River opened the door to Hee-Bong's office and walked straight to Akito. When the door closed, she grinned. "I'm getting my club back. All I have to do is teach Koharu and get her at least a thousand in tips."

Akito's face fell. "Oh jesus River, why would you agree to that?"

River, who had been absolutely elated by the news, immediately frowned. "Why? I thought it was a good deal."

Akito shook his head, putting his hands on her shoulders. "River, you get more than thousands in tips during one night here because you are drop dead, absolutely fucking gorgeous," She blushed at this, looking away bashfully. "But," He continued, and River looked back to him, wishing he had ended on the compliment. "Koharu isn't skilled, like you are, in making drinks. She isn't suave, like you are. She isn't comfortable being sexy, she isn't comfortable being demanding and a bit salty, she isn't you, and she's going to be lucky if she even makes a solid hundred tonight, and doesn't have an emotional break down." River pouted, moving to take a step away from him, but he didn't let go. "This job is absolutely unbearable, River. You've just been doing it so long, as are so good at it, that it doesn't matter to you."

River made a face. "But if I teach her-"

"You can't stand her. How could you tolerate her long enough to get that kind of information into her?" He asked, and River noted the glint in his eyes.

She smirked. "I see what you're doing. You're making this seem impossible, because you know I'll run at it full force if it is." She pushed his arms away. "I have a plan, Isobe Akito, and I will carry it out tonight. Be prepared." She turned and started away from him, shouting over her shoulder just as she reached to push the door out of the way towards him "We're going to have guests tonight. Feel free to take the night off, or do some mixes with them, whatever you feel like." She gave a cat like grin, moving towards the bar where Koharu was standing. "Okay little cousin. Prepare yourself for insane amounts of knowledge."


Kyu Ree had just changed and opened the door to the bathroom to find Taeil sitting on her couch, his phone in his hands. "So River just called," He said, shaking his head. "I guess she needs us to guest perform at the club tonight."

Kyu Ree made a face. "Why? Akito's got it covered."

Taeil shrugged. "I guess she made a bet with Hee-Bong and if we perform, she has a huge chance to win the bet."

Kyu Ree rolled her eyes. "When is she going to learn. Hee-Bong's bets are almost always impossible to do. Do you know what the bet was?"

"Something about getting a thousand dollars in tips for Koharu."

Kyu Ree threw her hands in the air. "She's going to lose the club tonight." Kyu Ree threw her towel aside. "Come on, we need to go speak with Zico."

"About?"

"He's probably not going to be willing to do a set because it has to do with River, and he kind of hates her-"

"He doesn't hate her." Taeil said, shaking his head. "I think that if he finds out she needs his help, he'll be all for it." He said, dialing a number on his phone and holding it against his ear. "I'll show you." He smirked. "Hey, I just got a call from someone who needs our help." He paused and made a face. "Really? No! It has nothing to do with becoming the Korean Hugh Hefner." He shook his head. "It has to do with River." He looked to Kyu Ree, but his expression dropped. "Hello? Hello? Zico!" He groaned, taking the phone away from his ear and shaking his head again. "Let me call B-bomb."

Kyu Ree shook her head. "Just let it be. River shouldn't have taken this on. She knew it wasn't something she could do."

Taeil ignored her and dialed B-bomb's number. "Is Zico with you?" He leaned back against the back of the couch. "Tell him that if he doesn't agree to this, I will call the management staff and tell them, and that it would be approved because Deviant is such a huge deal right now." He smirked, and then held the phone away from his ear. The shouts on the other end of the line were so loud, Kyu Ree could hear them and she was on the other side of the room.
