Chapter 37

"What happened to being like your son?!?!" Jisung complains as he's forced into a chair. Jeno just rolls his eyes at the boy's antics.

"That was before you tried to play me. Now, you've been disowned. Therefore, you are no longer safe." Jeno states as he finishes restraing Jisung to the chair to ensure the boy stays there and doesn't touch him.

Jisung whines some more, but then Jeno walks away to dim the lights. Once he comes back, he nods to Jaemin to play the song, which is "Under The Influence" by Chris Brown. Jeno then gets all in Jisung's face, causing the boy to scrunch his nose up in disgust.

The on lookers cackle as if they're watching a comedy show and not a lap dance. When Jeno finishes his little song, he leaves Jisung tied to the chair and goes back to his seat. That earns him a slap from Jaemin.

"Go untie him, Jen." Jaemin scolds. Jeno sighs but obliges nonetheless.

"Alrighty! Tis my turn, darlings!" Jaemin squeals. "Renjun, would you rather pick someone to pole dance with or let Mark pick who you get to pole dance with?" Jaemin smiles coyly.

"I'd rather pick!" Renjun exclaims as he jumps up from the floor and walks over to Jaemin. He holds his hand out for him as an invitation.

"Me?" Jaemin inquires, making a show out of his flattery and earning giggles from the others.

"Yeah, Chenle would kick my ass if he had to get up again, and Donghyuck's a little shit. The rest of these bozos have no clue what they're doing." Renjun explains as he leads Jaemin to the pole. Jaemin nods in response. They pick another song on Jaemin's phone. This time, it's Replay by Jay Park. The lights are already dimmed from Jeno's little show. Several times throughout the performance, they look as if they're either kissing or about to. There's a lot of dangerous looking drops and spins, and they even do one move where Renjun hnags from the pole using his legs, and Jaemin glides through the air supported by Renjun's arms. It looks like fun but also tiring. When they're done, they give each other a high five and a well done.

"I think it's time to pop open the drinks." Renjun states.

"Wait! I haven't gotten to pole dance yet!" Donghyuck whines.

"Well, get your ass up there then. We'll open drinks when you've had your fun, and we've put the pole away." Chenle says. Donghyuck claps in excitement and forgoes music altogether as he leaps for the pole and spins as soon as he makes contact with it. He does a bunch of cool tricks, gaining a bunch cheering from his friends. Then, he jumps off and swiftly kicks the bottom platform.

"Thanks, Hyuck! For the show and for making lightworkn of the clean-up." Jaemin says as he gets up to help Donghyuck place all the pieces in the case it came in.

"No problemo, shawty." Donghyuck responds.

"Yay! Now drinks!" Chenle exclaims, going for the first thing his hands can touch.

"Yeah, yeah, anyways, what should I pick and for whom?" Donghyuck ponders aloud.

"Jisung hasn't done anything yet!" Chenle shouts excitedly.

"Damn Ji. It really be your own man throwing you under the bus like that." Renjun mocks, to which Jisung merely rolls his eyes.

"You're right, Le! Jisungie, would you rather dye your hair blue or green?" Donghyuck asks smugly.

"Blue, for sure. Wait -" Jisung responds absent-mindedly.

"Yes sir!!!! Let's get it!!!!!" Chenle yells excitedly. He leaps to tackle Donghyuck, who slaps his ass in retaliation.

"Damn, Ji. At least, your man is happy, eh?" Yukhei comforts while Jisung processes what he's just unintentionally signed himself up for.

"Donghyuck, would you rather get matching tattoos with the bottoms or with your mother?" Chenle asks.

"This is a set-up." Donghyuck whines.

"Exactly!" Chenle smiles deviously.

"I guess we're getting matching tattoos, girlies." Donghyuck sighs, unenthusiastic.

"Guess I'm last to go! Actually, I knew that, but still." Jisung says. "Jaemin, would you like to tell us about what went down in China or who the fourth person you've fucked is?"

"Manz said he wants answers." Yukhei wails in-between laughter.

"I guess I'll tell you who the fourth person was. China is too much to get into right now." Jaemin sighs. "I think you guys can already guess, but it was Yeonjun."

"Oh my god, I knew it!" Chenle yelled. "I wanna know when, where, how, and why."

"Okay.......it was on my way back from China. We made a pit stop in Guangdong, and he was there for fashion stuff, and he was taking the same plan to LA, which would be after I got off in Korea. We fucked in some part of the airplane we definitely weren't supposed to be in after I told him it was on my bucket list." Jaemin explained.

"Why was that on your bucket list?" Jisung asked.

"See to explain that I'd have to explain China and I've done enough confessing for the night." Jaemin retorted.

"What should we do now?" Yukhei asks.

"You guys wanna go ding-dong-ditch Johnny?" Chenle suggests. The boys agree and so they put on shoes and jackets and walk to Johnny's house to prank him. They're stopped dead in their tracks when they discover he's already outside chatting with someone. Before they can leave Johnny sees them and waves them over. They oblige sheepishly.

"Hey guys, what're you cuties doing out here this late and so under-dressed?" Johnny says, referring to the four boys with their pole dancing shorts barely visible under their jackets. They all smile sheepishly.

"We were actually on our way to come see you!" Jaemin attempts to play off.

"Oh! And to what do I owenthe pleasure?" Johnny replies flirtily. Which half of the boys ignore as per usual though the other half glares at the man.

"We were going to din-" Jisung tries to start but is stopped with Chenle's hand clamped over his mouth.

"We wanted to know if you had some sugar! Don't wanna ask a stranger y'know? We're making cookies!" Chenle says instead. Glaring at Jisung before smiling at Johnny, who chuckles in amusement.

"I do. Would you like to come inside? I'm sure you're all very cold." Johnny gestures for them to follow him as he opens his front door. The person he was talking to long gone.

"Welcome back, John! Uh, who're they?"
