Reckless Behaviour (Exo Kai)

Confront

Chapter 30 – Confront

Kai

My had trembled when I reached to open the door leading to the club. I know I'm not prepared to see whatever I was about to walk into.

Jina wasn't easily shaken. I had first hand experience of how strong and she could be. If her sister was telling the truth then there was something very fucked up going on in here. I felt my hackles rise just thinking about it. She was mine, I hated thinking that for all I knew some asshole could be having what I had with her. I fucking hated this.

The interior of the club looked like any other club for all looks and purposes. Pounding music, never ending supply of alcohol and dance floors that ran from one corner to the other. I couldn't see any strippers whatsoever at all. I walked up to a bouncer hoping to try my luck.

"Hey man, I'm looking for something more than this." I pointed to our surroundings. "I was pointed this way but this looks too boring." I angled up the peak of my cap so the bouncer could see my face. I hoped the guy would recognize me and let me through but one look at his face and I knew this was one person who never ever heard about Idols. Well if looks failed there was always money. I reached into my pocket and pulled out a few bills, sliding it into the guys palm, hoping I wouldn't be kicked out for bribing. It worked; the guy gave me a slight nod and escorted me to a back room that had a girl already working the stage. It wasn't Jina but as I watched her work the stage, striping down to nothing and then writhing on the stage before coming down to work the crowd.

As soon as she stepped off the stage, everyone was on her, grabbing, holding, touching like they couldn't get enough of the girl.

I stayed close to an hour with no sign of Jina but as one by one the girls came and went I started wondering what the fuck I was doing. I was risking everything for a girl, a girl who walked away from me. Yet still I couldn't make myself leave. Every time those curtains opened to push another girl out I was equally frustrated and relieved. Frustrated because it's not Jina but relieved because it's not her and if that wasn't a damn oxymoron I didn't know what was.

Jina

When one girl came backstage after her show, her clothes clenched in her hands, spouting about some big shot being in the crowd, everyone got excited. It happened once in awhile and everyone wanted to be the girl that went home with whoever was here. It meant good money and a luxurious night; at least that's what I have been told. I haven't had to go that far, yet. The club rules prohibited sex, well; not exactly true considering everything was allowed except for the actual act of fucking.

I wasn't paying much attention to the building excitement in the girls until I heard the words Exo and Kai, then I was all ears. I was literally breaking out in a cold sweat. He couldn't be here. What the hell was he thinking?

I was up next but I begged the girl after me to go first so I could kick Kai back to safety. I wasn't sure whether it was coincidence or not but right now my priority was to get him kicked out before one of the girls sold out the news that he was here to the press, if they haven't already. It was a tough life here and everyone of us got our money however we could, that included tipping off the press for a pitiful amount of money but it was still money that we all desperately needed or we wouldn't be here.

I grabbed a robe on my way out of the staff room and entered the main dance room, asking one of the bouncers to let me into the show room audience. He gave me a funny look but I've been here long enough for him to recognize me as a working girl so he didn't question me.

I spotted him immediately, he was standing off to a corner trying to shrug off as much attention off of him as he possibly could but he might as well have had a spotlight on him. Kai had that aura around him that commanded attention. No one except the girls who must have gotten close to him seemed to have recognized him but that didn't stop the guys around from giving him the once over with curiosity and envy. I quickly made my way to his side, grabbing his arms to get his attention. He almost shrugged me off until I saw the look of recognition on his face.

"Come with me." I demanded hating the attention we were already getting because some of the regulars recognized me. I heard a few cat calls and a few disappointed comments when they saw me leaving, thinking that I wasn't doing my show tonight but I turned a deaf ear. Kai however, got tense with each comment that we heard in passing.

I pulled him all the way out of the club and into a side alley that seemed deserted enough, expect for a few writhing bodies that were doing questionable things in public but all of them were either too drunk or too lost in the moment of lust to see us or pay us any attention.

"Kai what the hell are you doing here?" I sounded breathless from all the rushing around.

"What the hell am I doing here? What the fuck are you doing here?" He sounded furious. "You fucking promised you wouldn't strip again."

"Kai you can't be here! You're lucky if one of the girls haven't call the media on you already. They all know it's you." I was frantically trying to explain but he wasn't listening.

"This is so much worse than stripping, you're old job looks almost decent compared to this." He sounded frustrated but it was the devastation that I could hear in his voice that got to me. I felt myself go on the defensive. I knew this wasn't going to end well but he was knocking on my non-existent pride. "You had only to ask and I would have given you everything you needed, that was the deal."

"Well, thanks but no thanks, I don't want to be your charity case Kai. I've already taken enough advantage of your generosity."

"You think I'm doing this all out of generosity? Do I fucking look like I'm doing this out of generosity to you?" My heart skipped a beat because no, he looked emotionally involved. Guess that answered my question about my reaction to Kai. Even after all this he could still make me react to him. Kai was almost shouting now. "If you do, please enlighten me because I really don't." He gripped his hair, almost pulling with frustration and anger. "It's almost as if you have a thing for being this way, no matter what I try to do, you keep going back to this."

I see the regret in his eyes as soon as he says the words. I know too that he doesn't mean it but we are both too angry and hurt right now. I knew too I've got on one else to blame but myself. I had been the one to walk away but at the time I thought it could only cause us both more misery if I stuck around. He looked happy too, so I ran. I had been tempted so many times to go back to Kai and beg him for help again but I didn't have the heart to face him again.

"You have no right to say that Kai." I whispered but my tone was filled with hurt and anger. Anger at myself, anger at him, anger at the world and anger at my fucked up life.

"I know I shouldn't have said that."

He reached to touch me and I reacted instinctively by pushing him away. "Don't touch me." I pushed him because I knew he still had the effect to make me feel things with a single touch. But I overreacted and everything turned to hell when he bumped into a guy walking by because Kai wasn't expecting me to push him that hard. The guy raised his arm to steady himself and his arm knocked Kai's cap off. Everything held still for a second before the reaction started along with the phone flashes. Kai's security was around him creating a barrier between him and the growing crowd of passerby's within seconds but the damage had been done.

I watched him in horror, feeling nauseas about the damage I had done. This would be all over the Internet within minutes. As I ran off back into the club, avoiding his gaze that was seeking mine, I was feeling like the lowest scum. I almost hated myself right then, I knew my life was shit but that didn't give me right to ruin others. I was dry sobbing by the time I made back into back stage because I couldn't even afford to really cry. I had a show to put on. Almost immediately, I had to go back on the stage. I barely had enough time to catch a breath before the stagehand was giving me the signal to go up.

A/N: Like is said last chapter this is going to end soon. Maybe about 5 more chapters left. Let's see how if goes.
