Chapter 4 || Octagon Club

"Wow!"

Y/n agreed with the other girl's reaction as she stared at the impressive interiors of the nightclub. It was set up on three floors with the ground floor having the dance floor and a large bar area.

It was super crowded with a sea of men and women dancing to the throbbing electric music while purple and blue light flashed from a shiny ball above.

The outside of the club had been quite unassuming and blended with the surrounding buildings as though the owner of the club didn't really care whether or not people outside were tempted to visit the place. But the long line waiting outside indicated the club was quite popular regardless of a subtle exterior.

The Octagon was supposedly one of the best nightclubs the city had to offer. When Nancy had given them four VIP passes to the club, she was super excited and sang praises of the place. Nancy was right.

Y/n had been to a few clubs in London, but she was sure not many matched the ambience or the size of this place. For one, there were no private VIP booths in London. Or maybe they were, and she didn't know about them. The only reason. she visited nightclubs was because she liked to dance.

"This way please." A well-dressed hostess guided them to the second floor and showed them a reserved VIP booth.

Y/n felt underdressed. She was wearing a loose, off shoulder shiny black top with jeans. Mingyu's girlfriend was wearing a short, sequined dress that looked similar to what most of the women on the dance floor were wearing.

She shook off the feeling of being conscious of her clothes. It was dark enough and people would be drunk enough for anyone to care about what she was wearing.

Her eyes took in the ambience of the second floor. The rest of the VIP booths were occupied and she could hear the buzz of conversation and faint laughter.

"Is this a smoke-free zone?" Eunwoo's cousin asked.

Y/n noticed only then that surprisingly there was no smell of stale smoke in the air like most nightclubs.

The hostess smiled. "Yes, all of The Octagon clubs are smoke-free zones inside. However, there are designated areas outside the club where people can go for smoking."

Mingyu looked disappointed. "Dammit. Guess we need to go out shortly then. Anyway dancing or drinking?" he asked.

"Drinking," Eunwoo promptly replied.

Y/n smiled knowingly. Eunwoo would avoid dancing and put it off however long he could. "All right. Let's get started on the shots, then," Mingyu's girlfriend suggested.

Eunwoo laughed. "Don't expect Y/n to join. She just enjoys watching other people get drunk."

Y/n laughed. It was true. "Hey! Watch it," she teased. "Don't challenge me. Or you'll have to carry me home and face my dad. And I'm sure his first impression of you of getting his daughter stone drunk won't go well."

Eunwoo shuddered exaggeratedly. "Easy on the drinks, then."

They all laughed before placing their order.

When the drinks arrived, Y/n began to sip on her fruity cocktail. Unlike in London, where she offered to be the designated driver, she now had her father's car and driver to drop everyone home.

"This drink is delicious." It was a cocktail that had passion fruit and a subtle blend of some other tropical fruits.

They finished the first round of drinks and ordered two more before the guys decided to step out for a while.

"We'll be right back." Eunwoo didn't smoke, but he was joining his cousin for a cigarette break.

Y/n was alone with Mingyu's girlfriend.
