Chapter Text
"You want to take me to a sex club for my birthday?!"
Felix gave Jeongin an exasperated look. "For the billionth time, it is not a sex club!"
Jeongin held his finger up and pulled out his phone, typing the name of the club in question into the search bar. Once he had the website pulled up, he read off the description on the home page. "In a world where omegas can't even breathe without being shamed, Escape provides a safe space for omegas to explore their deepest fantasies."
"Yes." Felix nodded. "Not a sex club."
"Deepest fantasies," Jeongin repeated.
"Not all deep fantasies are inherently sexual," Felix argued.
Jeongin raised an eyebrow at him before turning to their other friends. "Seungmin, you go to Escape, right?"
"Sometimes," Seungmin said.
"And what 'deep fantasy' do you explore there?" Jeongin asked.
"Nothing at the club itself." Felix shot Jeongin a smug look until Seungmin said, "but I do employ one of their escorts during my heats because it's the only way I'll get thrown around the way I want to be." Now Jeongin was the one looking smug.
"I don’t go there for sex," Jisung said. "I go to watch my boyfriend dance and let the other patrons there know who he goes home to at the end of the night."
"Uh huh…" Jeongin stared at Jisung. "And what did you do before you and Minho started dating?"
"I would get a private room and he would cook for me, feed me, and call me pretty," Jisung said, but as Jeongin continued to stare at him, Jisung ended up averting his gaze sheepishly. "And then we would have sex."
Jeongin shot Felix yet another 'told you so' look. "And I already know what you get up to at that club, Mr. 'My Daddy Treats Me So Well'."
Felix rolled his eyes as he gathered up some noodles with his chopsticks. "The three of us do not represent the entire demographic that Escape is marketed to. I mean, I've seen omegas go there purely to get their feet rubbed while they vent about their day." He shoved an insanely large amount of noodles in his mouth.
"I mean, the first time I went, I literally just wanted to throw a drink in an alpha's face," Seungmin said.
Jeongin looked at him in confusion. "Why?"
Seungmin shrugged. "I wanted to see if it was as fun as it looked in movies. It was."
After finally swallowing his giant amount of noodles, Felix elbowed Jeongin. "Come on, you've been moping around ever since you and Seojoon broke up-"
"What even happened there?" Jisung asked.
Jeongin kept his gaze on his food. He couldn't exactly tell his friends that Seojoon dumped him after he'd had a panic attack from the alpha touching his waist right after Jeongin had said he was ready to have sex, so he just shrugged and said, "We weren't compatible."
"Well your birthday is the perfect time to get you out of this post breakup rut," Felix said. "And going somewhere we can objectify hot alphas is the perfect way to do it!"
"Is objectifying alphas really an appropriate thing to do?" Jeongin asked. "They are people with feelings, after all."
"You say that like we aren't being objectified right at this very moment." Jisung half stood up from his chair to yell at someone across the restaurant. "Hey1 You! Yeah I see you staring at us! I know exactly why your hand is in your pocket right now!" Seungmin reached up to grab Jisung's shirt, yanking him back down into his chair. "We can just go watch the dancers," Jisung said.
Jeongin blinked at him a few times. "You keep calling them dancers. We all know they're strippers."
"They are dancers who happen to be well versed in the art of tastefully removing their clothing," Jisung argued.
"So strippers," Jeongin deadpanned.
"Or we could rent a private room and just have, like, a sleepover," Felix suggested.
"We could do that at home," Jeongin pointed out.
"We can't get expensive food and alcohol hand delivered to us by hot shirtless alphas at home," Felix said, and Jeongin scrunched his nose. "I really think you would enjoy this place if you'd give it a try. I'm not exaggerating when I say you can do or find literally anything there."
Jeongin sighed deeply. "Are you going to annoy me with this until I give in?"
"Yes," all three of his friends said simultaneous.
"Fine," Jeongin groaned as Felix clapped excitedly.
"Okay, so they have a special birthday package that gives us access to most things for a base fee," Felix said. "So I could just buy that and then we're just covered for whatever you decide to do, or we can wing it and pay as we go when we get there."
"The birthday package is fine," Jeongin said, and Felix clapped again, pulling out his phone to pay for the package online.
"I'll also add on full bottle service," Felix informed him, and Jeongin nodded. "Trust me, you are going to have the best birthday ever!"
"I'm sure I will," Jeongin muttered.
Jisung jumped up from his chair again, yelling at the alpha who was supposedly masturbating to them across the restaurant. "Dude, you're not being subtle at all! Everyone here can see you! People are trying to eat here!"
The restaurant manager hurried up to their table. "Excuse me, you're disturbing our other diners. I must ask you to calm down or you will have to leave."
"Are you fucking serious?" Jisung asked incredulously.
"We're finished anyway!" Jeongin blurted out, fumbling to pull his card out to pay for everyone's meals just so they could get out of there before Jisung truly made a scene.
"Are you seriously not gonna say anything to the disgusting pervert over there?" Jisung called after the manager as he hurried off with Jeongin's card to run the payment.
"Jisung, just drop it," Jeongin hissed, hiding his face behind his hand as half the restaurant turned to stare at them.
