Double Life

Loyal crowds

 

Baekhyun's P.O.V.  Friday 10:37 P.M.

"I wanna go to the club chanyeoooooollllllll!"

I grab his hand and try to pull him off the couch.  he smirks and keeps watching tv, while I dig my feet into the carpet and pull.  He doesn't even glance at me, too focused on that God damn drama playing. 

"Aaaaarrrrrrgggggghhhhh fine."

And I'm about to storm off when he pulls me to him.  Now I'm back to digging my feet in and pulling, but now it's working even less!  I slowly slide towards him and fall in his lap.  Pouting with my arms crossed. He chuckles and I can feel it rumble in his chest.

"Fine."

"What? Can we go?"

"...okay."

I laugh and get up, finally succeeding on moving the giant. He just shakes his head as I go round up the other seven of us. Soon enough we're all ready and driving to an underground club famous for its live music. Tonight they have a performer known for her ability to sway the crowds. (I checked the website) we pile out of the van and go into the crowded club, trying to find the bar through the crowded dance floor. Soon enough the rest of my band has found people to spend the night with as I sit at the bar alone.  I smile as I watch the rest of the band dance, but I'm here for the live music, not the D.J. 

           I order a drink and spin in my stool when I see the D.J. casually leave her post.  I'm surprised when I hear our song's beat drop, and I blink twice when I see the girl singing it onstage.  She's tall and blond, but it looks natural on her.  She goes into the song hyping the crowd all the way.  I take a sip of my drink and choke when I hear her voice drop for chanyeols rap, it dropped like three octaves!  The crazy part is that she seems more natural now than before. The song ends and I'm cheering just as hard as the rest of the crowd. I see Chanyeol has wandered back to me. 

"She can rap better than you."

He's about to argue with me before he just nods. It's kind of undeniable. The lights dim and me and Chanyeol hold our breath in anticipation for the next song.  I think she should do overdose or monster or...

"Lu..lu...I'm just tryn at getcha in the mood!"

I flinch when I hear Luhans song start playing.  It's not his voice but we all know the beat of the song, each note a stab to the heart.  I see some of us are trying to shake it of, but Sehun and Chen walk over to the bar and sit with us. 

"Not feeling it?"

I say to Sehun, and he just shakes his head.  I hear the crowd muttering and booing her.  We have such loyal fans!  I feel bad for her but she doesn't seem nervous...actually she seems kind of pissed of.  She walks to the edge of the stage and starts flirting with some guy, the she walks back to the mic stand.

"Hey Baekhyun...is that one of our fan cards?"

Chanyeol says, pointing at the card she's holding.  I feel like crying when I hear her say

"That's right bitches, one of your own"

Soon enough the crowd is cheering and she's back to singing Luhans song.  I just watch with wet eyes, as I miss one of our own.  One of my closest friends. Chanyeol has his arm around me and I lean into his side, happy for the comfort.  I watch as Kai and Lay continue to dance, seemingly unaffected by the music. The song ends and she runs backstage.  Chanyeol has found someone, and I'm left alone at the bar again. 

           I listen to the last few songs, including another one of ours.  Soon I've had one to many and I don't realize that the rest of Exo has left.  I blink and take my phone out, texting Suho and Chanyeol.  Neither of them reply so I call Chanyeol, annoyed when I hear him say "busy" and hang up.  I decide to find my way back to the dorms on my own. 

         All of them! Seriously? I take out my phone and leave the bar, trying to get through the crowd of people on the dance floor.   I reach a door but it's not the one I came in, it leads to the alley.  I shrug and push the handle, not really caring where it leads.  I'm walking to the street, planning on hailing a cab, when I feel a hand grab my wrist and I'm slammed against a brick wall.

Grey's P.O.V.   Midnight

      I walk out the back door, twirling the keys to my bike around my finger.  The air holds a zapping chill, stinging my face and fingers.  The swing of a rusty hinge behind me signals someone else using the hidden back door and I glance around, seeing a drunk guy stumble into the alley.  With a snort of derision I continue to my bike, my mind focused on anything but another drunk.  The unmistakable sound of trouble starts up behind me, and after some jeering I hear a body being slammed into the brick wall.  I can hear whoever it is squeak and yelp, much like a puppy would. Cruel words are spat into the air.  I can hear him whimpering and I clench my fist, wanting to walk away, needing to walk away, yet I can't.

"Hey!"

I yell, dropping my bag at the entrance of the alley. I know this isn't going to be peaceful.

"Hey beautiful, what can we do for you?"

On of the men says, all of them giving me leering gazes. I crack my knuckles, feeling the adrenalin rushing in my veins. That and the wolf instinct. I remind myself not to go to far, before I throw a hard punch at the leaders face. He stumbles back, holding his nose as it spurts blood onto the ground. I grind my teeth, the smell already messing with my head. One of the others goes to grab me and I kick him in his side, whirling around and elbowing another guys neck. Soon enough they're all on the ground or running away. I feel someone grab my arm and I grab them, throwing them to the ground.

"Don't hurt me!"

He says, holding his hands up above his tear streamed face. It takes me a moment to realize he's the guy who was getting beat up. I shake my head, trying to clear my mind and think rationally again.

"Who are you?"

I ask, kneeling to the ground, trying to catch my breath. I see him flinch and I curse under my breath. My eyes must still be red. I look down, hoping the glow has stopped. He starts to cry again and I realize...he's really drunk. I roll my eyes and grab his hands, pulling him to a standing position. He's crying about some guy named Luhan and someone named Chanyeol. I roll my eyes and start to walk away.

"Wait *sniff* you can't *sniffle* leave! *whimper*"

I turn around and say

"Oh no you don't. Don't you dare guilt me into taking care of a drunk. I'm busy tonight."

He just looks at me, holding his arm from when I pushed him. I try to walk away...but I can't. I try again and realize what I've done. By intervening, I protected him, now the wolf in me is making me stay. I curse and walk back. Grabbing his arm and pulling him out to my motorbike. I take my helmet and push it onto his head.

"Get on."

I say, as I put one leg over and start it. He blinks, tilting his head. I'm surprised with how cute he looks, and quickly banish the thought. He climbs on, wrapping his arms around my waist. I flinch, scared of any physical contact with people. He goes to nuzzle his head onto my neck and is startled when he realizes the helmet is preventing him. Turning around I say.

"This isn't cuddle time. I'll drive you to wherever you live and drop you off. Let's hope you have someone to take care of you there."

He nods and tells me in a very backwards way, how to get to where he lives. He mutters something about a back entrance and I nod, merging onto the busy streets of Seoul. I'm surprised with where he lives, he must be a Kpop idol. A very drunk, very cute, idol.
