Track 07

Chapter Four

It's five a.m., sunday morning and the club is completely empty. The Bangtan tries to be exclusive by not being open for too long. It's the first club in the street that closes. But also the first one to open.

It's a weird concept for a club but you don't mind, it just means better working hours for you. Kyle already left and you're cleaning up the last bits of lime from the counter. Not noticing that you're humming.

The DJ approaches you with one eyebrow raised up. "What's going on with you?" Taehyung asks. "What do you mean?" "You're humming. You're never singing or dancing or doing stuff like that. Why are you humming all of a sudden?"

You just now realize, that Tae, really doesn't know you. At home you're constantly singing and dancing, but here in the club, there's just no reason to. The music doesn't spark that feeling inside you, when you just can't sit still and want to hug the whole world and dance through your room, like there's no tomorrow.

"I do sing and dance. Just not here. Because your music sucks." You spit out. Tae just laughs. You're lucky he's a nice guy. Others would've gone to the boss for that comment. Not liking the music is one thing, but portraying it in public is another. That does not fit the club's reputation. Every staff member should stand 100% behind The Bangtan, is what your boss is always saying.

"Don't change the subject." Tae says. "Why were you humming?" You hesitate. "It's just... one of the songs you played last night." "So you DO like my music?" he raises his eyebrow again. "Not really. It was this one song, which you kinda destroyed with all the mixing 'n stuff. But the melody was really nice. It was stuck in my head the whole night. Is there a possibility you can tell me the name of the song?" "Honey," he starts, looking at you with his macho-face "first you tell me you don't like my music" 'More like hate it' you say to yourself. "and then you wanna know the name of a song?" You nod. "I'm playing more than 300 songs a night. Do you think I can remember all their names?" You're disappointed.

"Listen, maybe you remember it" you say before starting to humm the beautiful melody once again. "Aah!" Tae looks like a light bulb switched on over his head. You immediately stop the humming:" You know it?" His eyes look happy and awake and he nods. But his voice is as cold as ice:" You're so naive. Of course I don't know the song." You look down, feeling stupid for believing his little play.

"If you want to know the name of the song that badly, I can send you the list of the songs I played tonight. My program automatically makes a list of all the songs, when I play them."

You smile. Destiny is at it again. "I'll send it to you, once I get home." "Thank you, Tae." Now you just have to find the song in the playlist. That shouldn't be too hard.
