"Alright, Junnie. Let's go. You need to get out. We're going to a club." Wonwoo announced as he burst into Junhui's office.

"Look," he started, "I really don't need to go. I'm fine. Really. Let's just call it a night and we can both go home." he began picking up his things as he spoke.

"Nope, not happening. Let's go." Wonwoo grabbed Junhui's arm and led him out the door as Junhui stumbled to make sure he had everything he needed.

The halls were practically empty as everyone had pretty much already left to go home. Shifts ended and people had lives to get to. Families at home. Wives, husbands, children. Sisters and brothers. Lovers and friends. They had people in their lives that they could go to. Family.

Junhui sighed.

They entered the elevator and Wonwoo pressed the button for ground level. "We are meeting Seungcheol in the lobby, he says he knows a great place for the three of us to go."

A groan came from the depths of Junhui.

"Oh come on. Junnie, it's going to be great. We are gonna have fun and we are going to get your mind off of your oddly fast crush of yours. You need to find something real. And not just someone you think you have a crush on because you're feeling needy. You need something new. Something fun. So we are taking you out and you're gonna find somebody. It'll be great. And hey, maybe even Seungcheol and I can find someone too. So let's go."

The doors opened and the two of them stepped out and immediately laid eyes on Seungcheol.

"Hey guys, we are gonna go to Jun's house before we head out. Change clothes, get some dinner and prepare to call in sick to work tomorrow. So let's hop in my car and get ready to have some fun."

And that's what they did. They went to Junhui's house, ate dinner together. Laughed. Joked. And after that, they changed outfits into clothes more appropriate for where they are headed. And then they left. Took a taxi and headed straight to club on the other side of town.

When they arrived Seungcheol led them down an alley and at the far end, an electric blue light was glowing. As they got closer, they seemed to realize that the blue light was from a small sign hanging above an oddly clean door. The sign read 'Star' as it glowed above them. Seungcheol opened the door and led them through a hallway and at the end of the hallway stood a tall, slightly muscular woman. She wore an all black suit and her red hair was put up in space buns.

"Welcome to Stars" she spoke, "ID please." her voice was light and airy. Seungcheol confidently pulled out his wallet and showed her his ID while the other two looked at Seungcheol with confused faces. However, they still pulled out their ID's and allowed the space buns lady to look at them.

"Alright, enjoy your time here." She reached over and opened the door for the three of them to walk through.

Wonwoo and Junhui continued to follow Seungcheol as they walked in and their senses were overloaded. Lights flashing. Music blaring. Seungcheol smiles at them.

"Welcome to Stars. The ever-so-secret gay club." He laughed at their confused faces. "I'm going to get us some drinks. Go find a table." and then he took off into the depths of moving people.

Junhui looked around and found that there were men and women here alike. But it seemed obvious that everyone here was only looking for someone of the same gender. Despite this most likely being the only gay club in the entire city, or maybe even the entire county, there weren't that many people there.

"Come on." Wonwoo grabbed Junhui's hand and began leading him to an empty table.

"I didn't even know places like this existed." Junhui spoke once they sat down.
