STRAWBERRIES & CIGARETTES

CHAPTER 4

Clubbing is always best on a Friday night. Chenle directly drove to Cherry High after that dinner with the chairman's niece, inviting Renjun and their friends along the way.

As soon as he went in, it wasn't a mere surprise that the lobby of the casino was full. The staff greeted him, to whom he replied with a timid nod, and then went up to the clubbing space.

Chenle's body was immediately swayed by many people, maneuvering his way through the little space between busy bodies until he could spot an available space for them.

Jisung is already there, starting his first round with Jack Daniels and a few more whiskeys on top of the rectangular table.

The two shared a high-five when Chenle arrived, settling on the long seat in front of the other.

"I'll buy more when the others arrive", Jisung said.

"You'll pay?", Chenle unbelievably asked as he sipped on his newly filled glass.

"I lost to Dery-hyung earlier."

Chenle snorted, "I won't ask what game, but yes, I could predict you losing."

Jisung rolled his eyes. "So? Should we skip your date experience?"

"Yeah, I mean, there's not much to tell", he shrugged.

"'Kay. Oh, they're here."

"SOS, idiots", Renjun approached while stifling his laughs. Behind him are Dejun and Hendery, who are already laughing.

"Where's Sungchan?", Chenle asks.

"Yeah, SOS. He's being squashed there", Dejun pointed to a group of girls and gays surrounding a tall man.

Jisung snorted, and Chenle could only shake his head. He gestured for the three to settle in, and they called for a waiter to place additional orders right after.

After two hours of behaving at the booth, Dejun and Hendery decided to have their dance floor break, while the others just stayed.

Sungchan is with them but, sadly, not very free; his chosen girl for the night is seated on his lap while he continuously drags on his cigarette.

They were joined by three other ladies after a few minutes, each sitting beside Chenle, Renjun, and Jisung.

They just finished playing a drinking game and agreed to take a break from all the liquor for now.

So now Jisung and Sungchan got their own make-out sessions, while the other two pairs just enjoyed each other's conversation.

"Are you sure you don't want to take a room break?"

Chenle flashed a small smile. "No, but you can join Sungchan. He doesn't mind a threesome."

"It's alright, I'm not that needy."

"Mhm, so any other plans for tonight?"

"Nothing in particular. I'll just leave if I have something to do."

"Sure", Chenle threw a knowing look while placing a hand on the girl's waist. "For the meantime, why don't you put those red lips in use?"
