Hoseok followed Alex into the dimly lit club, the grand exterior contrasting sharply with the quiet atmosphere inside. The club’s name, “Velvet Nights,” was emblazoned in elegant, neon script above the entrance. As they walked in, Hoseok could see the massive interior, still subdued due to the early afternoon hour.

The club’s interior was luxurious, with velvet-lined walls and rich, dark colors that exuded an air of opulence. A large stage dominated the center of the room, surrounded by plush seating areas. Spotlights hung from the ceiling, casting an occasional beam of light on the empty stage where he guessed strippers performed. The bar, with its gleaming marble countertop and rows of expensive liquor, stood ready for the evening’s rush.

Alex led Hoseok towards a door at the side of the stage. He knocked softly, and a voice from inside called, “Come in.” Alex opened the door and entered, with Hoseok close behind. Once inside, Alex locked the door behind them.

The room was private and elegantly decorated, with a large desk and a few armchairs. At the desk sat Madam soo, the club’s manager, a trans woman with a commanding presence. She looked up from her paperwork, her sharp eyes taking in Hoseok from head to toe.

“Is this the one you were telling me about?” Madam soo asked, her voice smooth yet authoritative. Alex nodded with a reassuring smile.

Hoseok stood nervously, his hands trembling slightly as he faced Madam soo. The reality of his decision hit him hard, and he couldn’t help but bow his head in shame.

Madam soorose from her chair and approached Hoseok, her gaze assessing him critically. She gently lifted his chin with a finger, examining his face. “You’ve got a youthful look that might appeal to our clientele,” she said, her voice both approving and clinical. “I think you’ll do quite well.”

Hoseok’s heart raced as Madam soo circled him, her eyes taking in every detail. She stopped at his back and suddenly grabbed his butt. Hoseok yelped in surprise and instinctively moved away from her touch.

Madam soo raised an eyebrow, clearly unfazed by his reaction. She scoffed softly and returned to her chair behind the desk.

Swallowing hard, Hoseok tried to steady his breathing. Madam soo eyes were sharp as she began questioning him.

“So, tell me about your experience,” she started. “Your sex life. Have you been with anyone before?”

Hoseok’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment. “I… I’m a virgin,” he admitted quietly. “I’ve never had a boyfriend.”

Madam soo nodded thoughtfully, jotting something down on her notepad. “I see. And your real age?”

Hoseok hesitated, feeling the weight of his situation. “I’m sixteen.”

Madam soo frown deepened. “Sixteen? That’s rather young for this line of work. It’s risky. Are you sure you’re up for it?”

Hoseok tried to remain firm, despite his apprehension. “I need this job. I promise it won’t affect my performance.”

Madam soo sighed, clearly reluctant but eventually relenting. “Alright. I’ll hire you, but you must follow the rules and perform to the best of your ability.”

Hoseok nodded, feeling a mix of relief and dread.

Madam soo continued, outlining the rules of the job. “You must always be punctual and ready to work. Your job is to satisfy customers in every way possible. This means providing not just physical pleasure but also engaging them in conversation and making them feel valued.”

Hoseok listened intently, his mind racing with the implications of each rule. He nodded in understanding, trying to memorize every detail.

“When would you like to start?” Madam soo asked, her tone suddenly more cheerful. “We can arrange for you to start tonight if you’re ready.”

Hoseok took a deep breath, the weight of his decision settling heavily on his shoulders. “Tonight works for me.”

Madam soo face lit up with a wide smile. “Excellent. We’ll get everything set up for you. You’ll need to be here a bit earlier to prepare and get acquainted with our protocols. I’m sure you’ll do great.”

As Madam soo stood up, her excitement palpable, Alex gave Hoseok a reassuring pat on the back. “You’ve got this, Hoseok. Just remember, you’re doing this for your family.”

Hoseok nodded, trying to muster the courage he needed. The reality of his new path felt daunting, but his determination to care for his brothers pushed him forward.
