Dinner was anything but quiet; it has been a long time since I've been out with these people. Of course alcohol was involved, it was just Namjoon who we didn't allow to have a drink since he was just 16. Pdogg only allowed me a bottle of beer,he didn't want me to get in trouble with dad - no, he didn't want to get in trouble with Bang. Although he knows that my dad has already given me the lessons of drinking at the age of 15 when he saw me drinking his stash of scotch. That was a long night of lecture regarding the joys and pains of drinking alcohol and after that, he made me promise to never drink until I reach the age of 18, to which I can do only at home until I can handle my liquor.

Namjoon was pouting when we left the restaurant because he wanted to drink too, but I convinced him that we would at the apartment, only not saying as to when it would happen. Tricky, I know, but it would be safer if he stays sane for the duration.

We were on our way to the clubs when Pdogg pulled me aside.

"Alex, I'm not sure about you going to the clubs, I mean, the people who goes to these clubs, well, let's just say, they are much rowdier than the ones you are normally with." He looks at me, like an older brother checking with his sister.

"Awww, is this what a little beer would do to you?" I ask him sweetly, he was looking confused. "I mean, you're not so scary looking right now and actually looked like a concerned brother to me. Don't worry, I'm sure I'll be able to handle the people there. And I'll promise to you that I'll stick to you or Namjoon or Charlie, deal?"

He nods with a sigh, looking resigned and then looked at me, "What do you mean scary looking? I don't look scary, is that how you think of me? How you see me? After all these years? Come here you brat!" He shouted.

I laugh so hard and ran away from him, it was good to know that I was able to penetrate through the barrier of being afraid of him. Seeing him like that was a refreshing thing for me, since I have always seen him as a strict professor, smiling just occasionally.

I grab Namjoon and steer him towards the rest of the group as we walk to the front of the club. I could see the bouncer at the door and with a burst of excitement, I greet him out loud. The others in our group laugh at me and the bouncer proceeded to put on neon colored bracelets on each and everyone. Pdogg went in front and said to the bouncer that Joon would not be drinking, at this, the bouncer smiled and stamped a star on his wrist, like the ones for elementary kids. "Seriously? Couldn't you have just a different color of bracelet for those like me?" Namjoon protested while we laughed so hard. Everyone got in and were busy looking for a table when the DJ started playing tracks.

I grabbed Charlie to the dance floor and we danced to the beat. We continued to dance for at least an hour and when the DJ said that there would be a performance, we looked for the rest of our group. They were all drinking beer so I got up and went to the bar to order some soda.

"Excuse me, I'd like to get a can of cola please." I said to the bartender, who ignored me and just continued wiping the counter top while talking to a group of guys. "Excuse me?" I repeated but still he didn't respond. I looked at the other side and saw that the other bartender was busy, so I stayed put. I tried to get his attention again and again for a minute more but I was getting angry already.

A guy came to my side and bumped me, didn't bother to apologize and nodded at the bartender, who then came and gave him a bottle of water, I was incensed. "Oh so now you noticed him and not me? I asked for a can of soda since a while ago but you didn't even looked in my direction. And then this guy" pointing to the guy in black, "came and signaled for something and you assisted him right away."

"Are you a performer? I only serve those who perform here." The bartender exclaimed.

"Ugh! Why couldn't you tell that to me a while ago then? Never mind." I slammed my hand down the counter, stomped off and went back to the group.
