The club floors shook with the bass of the music. I was of course bartending as per usual while
Minho stood by the door to the dancer’s room. Blue and pink lights switched to various shades
of green indicating a main stage performance was soon. Specifically a main stage performance
done by Addict. Addict was one of Minho and I’s best male dancers/strippers. He was on the
younger side and very fit not to mention his confidence on the poles, all of which make him very
popular amongst our customers. This would be his last performance of the night which means i
have to get his week’s paycheck ready.
I walk out from behind the bar and tap one of our employees, asking him to take over for me for
a moment. I walk through a door that leads to a back area. There are a bunch of things but most
importantly, my office. Minho’s office was here as well.
I walked into my own office looking at the papers in Addict’s folder. I do some math, some
writing, and some counting of money.
By the end I had his pay in a little envelope, sticking it in the front pouch of my apron. By the
time i had got back into the main room, the green lights had turned back to pinks, purples, and
blues. I looked towards the door that Minho is usually stationed, noticing that it was empty. He
most likely went into the room and was checking up on our dancers.
Once i was back in place tending to the bar a boy with blonde hair is walking about sort of
awkwardly. If i'm not mistaken he’s usually here each day Addict works. Soon enough out
comes Addict from the back, dressed in sweats and a bag on his back with Minho following not
far behind. He walked up to the blonde boy waving to him cheerfully.
“Jisung! Hey! How was work?” Asked the freckled boy.
He looked about Jisung's age too. Maybe a college student? Were they friends?
Jisung ruffles the boy’s hair and smiles,
“it was alright. We can head out here in a second Lix, I just need to grab my paycheck real
quick.” After he said that, he made his way towards me and Minho at the bar. I pull out the
envelope and hand it to the younger.
“Is that your friend?” I ask before letting go of the money. He nods in response.
“Roommate too. Why?” I shake my head finally letting go of his pay.
“No reason. Just curious.” He raises an eyebrow at me but it soon fades away. He waves
goodbye to Minho with a bright smile.
Watching the two walk off i turn towards my partner beside me. “I've got the rest of tonight. You
can go ahead and head home early if you want.” I say.
It really isn’t much work for me. My apartment is right above the club so it's not like I have to
drive home all tired but Minho does. Not to mention he has another job too, he should get all the
rest he can.
*time skip*
Finally it becomes time for closing, being well into the morning at 4:00 am. Pretty much all of the
employees have left and for sure all the customers. My usual routine is dishes, paper work,
organizing the changing rooms, restocking, and finally wiping down everything. Every single
spot needs tons of cleaning but especially the poles and ‘Special’ rooms or privacy rooms we
like to call them.
By the time i'm done with all of that my hands are usually sore and i can finally head up the
elevator to my apartment. Though I suppose it could also be called a penthouse? It's just a
really huge apartment. You could say I'm rich. Mine and Minho’s club sure does make a lot of
money, I mean it's one of the best in the city. Everyone seems to know of club Drummer Boy,
the co-owned neon lit strip club with the hottest and best male and female dancers. Not to
mention our popularity for being open to all types of people. I mean how couldn’t we, it’s owned
by a gay man and a bisexual man.
My elevator reaches the top and I step into my apartment. Even though it’s right above my club,
it still has a whole different feel. I feel so much more comfortable here than I do below. I head
straight to the shower to wash off all the sweat one gets from working at a hot ass strip club for hours. It's relaxing as hell and all the pain of from cleaning the club dissolves away. Once I
finish that shower, I'm in a pair of comfy sweatpants with no shirt and climb into bed. Finally i’m
able to sleep.
