Corporate Clash

clown on a night out

"Happy birthday Jinyoung-ahh" Jackson busted through the office door with a small cake in his hand of a peach? Jackson was weird. Jinyoung did go to office on his birthday and generously treated everyone in the office to good food and half day at work. And now at the last hour,Jackson had emerged with a cake and Jinyoung wanted to slice his throat.

"Didn't I tell you not to bring a cake in the office?" Jinyoung said.

"Yeah,sorry but I saw this cake and just couldn't stop myself" Jackson grinned at him as he placed the cake infront of him. Jinyoung had told nobody about yesterday and honestly he couldn't. If he told Jackson,the entire city would know and maybe even Popsugar would publish headlines tomorrow. It was a secret to be kept very confidential.

Reluctantly he cut the cake and Jackson enjoyed more than half of it and Jinyoung let him have it.

"We're going partying tonight alright? I know you got nothing planned but I do,I can call those business friends of yours if you want" Jackson said.

"Yeah that should be fine" He agreed because he knew if Jackson wanted something,he would drag him to hell for it. And than something clicked in his mind, "um, I'll call Jaebum."

Jackson whipped his heard towards him,a little bit more and it could've cracked, "Jaebum? As in Lim Jaebum? Did I hear that right?"

"Yes Jackson"

"Why?"

"Because,I just think we should bond more now that the deal is final" He made up what made sense to him.

"That makes sense" Jinyoung sighed in relief, "Will Mark come?" Jackson added. Jinyoung could be wrong but he might have seen a tinge of expectation in his eyes but he shrugged it off. He was probably still hung over,mind you he didn't drink alot the day before.

"Um,I guess if he comes his assistant would have to accompany"

"Okay, I'll send you the guest list and we're gonna get you laid tonight" Jackson winked and left the room. Jinyoung winced in the thought of getting laid. He didn't know what the night would turn into but he would like to see how the night turns out. And without much contemplating,he picked up his phone and dialed Jabums number. The call was picked up after 3 rings,which made Jinyoung surprised.

"Hello?"

"Hi Jaebum,it's Jinyoung"

"Oh yeah,tell me"

"So,Jackson had kind of arranged a party in the evening for- for my birthday and I was wondering if you would like to come"

"Oh. Um Yeah sure if you'll like"

"Uh great,location and time I'll send it to you and bring Mark with you"

"Sure! See you tonight."

"Mmm" with that he hung up. What he noticed was that their conversations over the phone had turned alot more comfortable and polite than their continuous sarcastic remarks. He will not accept it upfront but he likes the change. And he might or might not be a little bit excited for the night.

The dance floor was pulsating with energy as edm,pop music thumped from the huge speakers on each corner of the room. Dazzling lazers,strobes and LED light synchronized with the music. Sweaty bodies grinned against each other to the beat of the music. Two gleaming bars at the end of the room served gleaming cocktails and other booze.

Their group was seated at the VIP section in the second floor,overlooking the sweaty crowd of young adults. The VIP section offered bottle services and curtain privacy if needed. Three plush rounded couches were surrounding a low glass table which had a bucket full of booze on top of it along with a two teared birthday cake. On the centre couch sat Jinyoung,Kwon-a long time friend since joining the business- on his left and Jaebum-unexpextedly- on his right. He was relatively quite but Jinyoung didn't know what to expect.
