Smithereens

chapter 8

As we know, every great business always got competition and rivalry. It was exactly the case for Daesung's club.

On the next street, close to Daesung's hosting club there was this other club managed by Choi Seunghyun. He was an elegant man, such a dandy, curiously he hadn't ever been a host but he was running one of the best club in the area after Daesung's. As you can imagine, yeah, Bobby decided to go with the competition.

Bobby got to the place and talked to the man in the door. This man, actually, used to work for his uncle but he left when he was offered a better salary to work with Seunghyun. The man recognised Bobby and thought he was looking for trouble but Bobby kinda explained the situation and the man led him to Choi.

_ Mr. Choi, I think you might be interested in this visitor..._ said the man while introduced Bobby.

Choi was unbothered as if he didn't even know who was that gorgeous guy, however, Seunghyun immediately thought this guy could be useful, he could feel it from his presence.

_ Come in, boy. Who are you, why are you here? You've got 3 minutes._ Choi stated

_ I'm Kim Jiwon. You've probably known my father and my uncle. They were both well known hosts back in the day, and my uncle, Daesung, he's the owner..._ so Bobby got interrupted

_ Are you here to make trouble? To spy?_ asked Seunghyun intrigued.

_ Not really. It's my payback. I mean, my uncle, hmmm... betrayed me._ Bobby briefly explained to Choi that he's uncle wanted him to become a host but that he hired some host to play around with his feelings and convince him.

_ That's dirty of Daesung! Do you know he hates me?_ claimed Seunghyun.

_ I know, that's exactly why I'm here. You're probably not hiring or even casting at the moment but I think the situation could give us some benefits to both of us._ Bobby declared so much confident.

_ You're very smart, Kim Jiwon. Unfortunately, my real feelings to Dae are different from the ones you're thinking so I don't want to bother him._ explained Choi making Bobby confused.

_ Whatever your feelings are, this may help. Come on, let's give it a try. I know Daesung very well. I can help you as long as you help me.

_ Smart indeed, kiddo. I'll hire you temporarily and we can talk about our true expectations meanwhile._ offered Choi.

_ You won't regret that._ Bobby was certain everything will serve as a great revenge.

Bobby started immediately that night. He told Yunhyeong about this and the latter was surprised but he kind of understood what was happening through Bobby's mind. And Yoyo was sure Bobby knew the business but he didn't hesitate in giving him useful advice.

****************

Bobby now wanted to be called Jiwon because he wouldn't be the sweet Bobby anymore, and he even wanted to carry his hated father's name the one that some time hurt him because after loving Donghyuk and ended up in being all a big fat lie from the latter, couldn't care more or pain less from using his real name.

So he got to Choi's place in advance to meet his tutor, if there was any along with the rules of there. It was not so different from his uncle club. He saw he would adapt easily.

_ Welcome home, Jiwon. I don't think you need some special training. I'm certain you know what to do. But they will help you. They're my flower boys._ so Seunghyun introduced his best hosts to Bobby.

The first one was Mino, tall skinny guy loved by everyone, absolutely everyone who made an appearance in the club.

The second was Jinwoo. He was a very unique guy. Soft features, kind of  androgynous, very beautiful. And his soft skills were such that he could act like a total prince, a leader or even a baby.

Then there was Seunghoon. He was very handsome and elegant as well. And he was funny, totally amusing and care free to some extent. He was loved specially by some elder ladies because he made them feel young again. Although he was popular among younger ones as well.

And last but not least, Seungyoon. A very traditional beauty. He was very polite and talented. He might seem serious or unattached but once you get to know him he was the perfect prince. And he loved singing to his customers doing it perfectly.

_ I'm glad to meet you guys, and eager to work with you._ said Bobby.

However, all of them knew Bobby. They had met before thanks to that practice when some of the best hosts from a club come to a different club as guests, as customers. Kind of challenging the rival hosts as in "if you can served me well, I'll respect you, I'm challenging you to surprised me". Months ago these flower four had visited Dae establishment. Never did they think, Bobby would be working with them someday.

Contrary to what you might think, they were friendly and welcomed Bobby without any issue. In fact, they seemed extremely amused by working with the latter.

_ Make yourself at home, Jiwon. Don't hesitate to ask for my help_ welcomed Yoon.

_ I know that you rap, so we can rap together to our guests_ smiled Mino at Jiwon and shaked hands.

_ Jinwoo... May I say you're totally beautiful?_ shy Jiwon tried to flirt with him..

_Thank you..._ Jinwoo answered but he didn't know what else to say.

_ Unfortunately, he's not gay_ explained Hoony_ the only gay here is our boss.

_That's why your club is second and not first. My uncle believes the best hosts are the gays and I agree. Worry not for I'm here to save your club now_ Jiwon claimed amusingly.

_ Are you shouting proudly your homosexual nature?_ asked Jinwoo amused and sort of moved.

_ I am, I always am but I'm meaning it more in the way that I'll do my best here. Everyone have believed I may become the best host in the area and now I, myself, started believing and accepting it as my fate.

So there's Bobby, ready to fulfill his uncle dream... Thanks to Daesung's worst enemy, Choi Seunghyun...
