Bombay

"Do you think Chemin is going to be okay?" Jaebeom leaned against the bar and poured a shot of Bombay gin into Xia's shot glass. It was her idea to go have a few shots after being at the hospital. She didn't want to go home because Chris was still there.

Chemin's words still rang in her head, and she decided to just go back to the club for a while. The club was her safe haven, and it was her saving grace after she got kicked out of school. There were so many memories at Sugar & Spice, and this is where she met Jaebeom.

Xia watched him place the shot glass in front of her. "Ugh, Beommie, I don't know. He was acting a bit strange, but I mean, what can I expect? He just experienced something that could have ended his life. I am just thankful he's still alive," She raised her glass to her lips and threw back the shot.

She groaned at the after taste of the gin, but she needed something to take her mind off of everything. She wiped her mouth and placed the shot glass down.

"Do you think Chemin knows we used to do this all the time?"

"Uh, I don't know. But, I am sure Junie does if he knows about our hiding spot where we used to fuck. I didn't even know it was cameras back there."

"I am still shook about that. You think he watched us?" Xia hadn't really thought about it until now. Damn, maybe she should figure out how to log in and erase that footage. It would be too much to do since they went to that hiding spot a lot.

"Why would they put cameras in the freezer, though?" Jaebeom laughed and chugged his shot.

"Maybe we should go look in the freezer and try to block the camera," Jaebeom winked at her.

Xia lifted her glass to signal to him to pour another shot.

"JB, you are funny. We don't have a purpose to get into the freezer, though," Xia replied. She watched him poured her another shot.

She felt her phone vibrate on the table. She looked down at her phone and saw a text message from Chris. Her heart raced because she didn't really know what to say to him.

Chris: Hey, baby... I got your note. How is Chemin?

Her eyes focused on Chemin. All she could hear in her head is Chemin's voice saying, "Stay away from Bangchan."

But, what she couldn't figure out is why, though. It wasn't like Chemin had a particular reason. Why does her life have to be complicated?

Xia heard Jaebeom clear his throat, and he moved around the bar. He pulled out a chair next to her. He removed his phone out of his phone and placed it on the counter.

"So, are you still going to date this guy or..." Jaebeom questioned.

Xia turned over her phone once she realized that Jaebeom saw the message. Why did it matter if she continues to see him or not?

"Honestly, what Chemin said concerned me. He's very wise, and I love him to death. I think I should just focus on the club right now," Xia explained.

"I just want you to be happy, that's all." Jaebeom poured two more shots for both of them. It felt like old times coming to the club before anyone was there and having a few shots before work. Except Xia wasn't working tonight. She would return tomorrow.

"I would have been happy if you didn't break up with me," Xia chugged her drink. It was the honest truth. She didn't have any issues with the relationship.

"It's not that my parents don't like you. They just feel like I am only staying at the club because of you."

"Jae, you have been at the club longer than we were together. I have nothing to do with that," Xia said.

"I know, and I told them that. But, I do enjoy working with you. Plus, we wouldn't have met all the people in the industry if we didn't work at the club," he said.

"That's true. Shit, I need to text my student," she turned her phone back over and scrolled through her text messages to find her messages with Wonho.

Xia: Wonho! I am so sorry! I am sure you heard Chemin is in the hospital. Can we meet next week instead of today?

Wonho: Not a problem. Yes, I did hear about him. Is he okay?

Xia: Yes, he's fine, and he's going to be okay

Wonho: Good! Don't worry I know you have a lot on your plate right now. Let's touch base next week to see if it will still be a good day. If not, it's no worries.

Xia: Thank you!

Wonho: How are you doing?

Xia: I am hanging in there

Wonho: That's good. Make sure you take care of yourself.

Xia: Will do

"Is he apart of your hoe list?" Jaebeom finished his shot.

Xia tilted her head to the side. What the fuck was he talking about ? His jealousy wasn't really that attractive. This wasn't something she was used to.

"You're such a jealous guy. You know I only teach Wonho English. It's nothing more than that. He's so not my type. I mean, yes, I would love for him to body slam me. But, I would only fuck. That's it."

Jabeom's jaw dropped. "Where is sweet Xia at? I have never heard you talk about another guy like that before," he said.

"I mean, I am human. I have feelings too."

"I know, so should we coordinate outfits when we go over to G. Soul's studio," Jaebeom asked.

"I will send you a Tumblr mood board. I am thinking emo vibes," Xia said.

"Sounds good." I said.

"Can I join you two?"

Xia turned around to see Songlee standing behind them. "Oh, hell no!" Xia said.
