Chapter Text
Mark is just an ordinary student -- no scratch that, that's what everybody thinks he is. Mark Yi En Tuan he is a stripper, yes a 22-year-old college student who is a stripper at night. Why you might ask because he has no money and that is the only way he could make money. Well, maybe not the only way but for Mark it is. Being a stripper was something Mark thought he would never do or even thought about but circumstances lead you to do things that you would never have thought of. For Mark, it isn't that hard being a stripper he just goes to the club at around 10 pm till midnight whenever he wants and that's it. Inside he just has to change into appropriate clothes and do some pole dancing and get some money then he's back home.
The only hard part about him being a stripper is his roommate and best friend Jackson. You see he hasn't told him about his job and he likes for it to stay that way because for the love of god if Jackson found out his innocent little best friend was a stripper he would kill him. So, it's very hard for him to do anything stripper related in the dorm room. So, Mark had lied to him and told Jackson that he is a janitor in a mall and does night shifts. Mark does feel bad for not telling Jackson about what he does, god forbid if something happens to him Jackson wouldn't know anything and there wouldn't be anything he could do but that is something Mark has to think for another time. But there are only two people that actually know what he does and that is Bambam, he is also a stripper and they met at the club when Mark found out about it. Since then they have been really good friends. And of course, Min Yoongi, at first Mark just knew his name through Jackson because Jackson is a very social person and is friends with everyone in the school. When Yoongi came to his club and got a lap dance from Mark, he found out who he was. Mark was very scared because nobody from his school came to this club because for one it was a secret and you had to know someone from the club to find it because apparently it is is a secret club and a college student is not accepted unless you are more than that so that got Mark confused as to how Yoongi knows this club.
So when Yoongi had requested to get a lap dance from any stripper his boss made him go, at first it was awkward for Mark because he didn't know Yoongi was gay and it also seemed Yoongi didn't even know who was giving him a lap dance until Mark fully turned around facing him. Yoongi was really surprised to see Mark out of all people working in this place. Mark quickly got off his lap and told him not to tell anyone especially Jackson. And with that, he became Mark's very good friend.

"That guy was hot don't you think?" Jackson asked being all smug. They were now in their dorm room and Mark had some homework to do before he went to work and of course, Jackson is here to tease him. Mark was on the bed with all his homework scattered around when Jackson came in and sat on his chair with his milkshake of chicken breast, lettuce, grapes, and all that healthy stuff. Ew.
"I guess," Mark replied dryly, he was writing an essay and Jackson being here didn't help at all.
"What was his name by the way?" Jackson asked again, Mark didn't know what was he trying to get at.
"Jaebeom? I think."
"You think it was Jaebeom?" Jackson asked again, now Mark really didn't know what the hell he was trying to do.
"Can you just spit out what you're really trying to say," Mark hissed, as he stopped typing his essay.
Jackson drank his milkshake, "I'm not trying to say anything,"
"Really?" Mark mimicked him, "Then what do you want from me?" Mark put his computer down.
"Why do I have to tell you anything Markie-pooh?" he scooted next to Mark on his bed, "I just wanna hang out with my best friend," Jackson said as he grinned.
Mark was definitely suspicious but he didn't really pay much attention to Jackson since he is mostly always like this so you can't really guess anything from his acts.

"Jackson I'm heading out don't wait for me," Mark yelled as he started going to Bambam's place to get ready. Mark got all his stripper clothes in his bad and started to head out. He likes that Jackson was in his room and not in the kitchen or he would've asked Mark what was in the bag and stuff and Mark isn't about to come out to his best friend about the covert part of his life. As he got out of the dorm he started heading towards the bus station since he doesn't have a car and money to take a taxi maybe he does but doesn't like wasting money on stuff like these.
The time was about 8-9 pm since they decided to go to the club at 10 pm. He was at Bambam's door, knocking on it. Mark thinks Bambam is lucky since he doesn't have to college and such. He already makes enough by going to the club and doing other stuff that Mark verily doesn't want to know about. This is why he has an apartment and he is 20 who knows by the time he is Mark's age he will already be living in a beautiful house and Mark will be working his ass off to pay for an apartment that isn't close to what Bambam has.
After the 5th knock, Bambam opens the door, "Hyungiee, you're here!" Bambam jumps to hug Mark.
"Y-yeah, as you can see." Mark taps on Bambam's arm to let him go. After letting Mark go Bambam nudges Mark to follow him to his room where they get ready to go to the club.
"Do you think I should go for a smoky eye look today?" Bambam asks Mark when Mark is trying to put on his specific attire for his work. He was wearing a see-through white top with embroidery of flowers that made the top a little see-through but not all the way, with a leather part that is only attached to the arms and the neck to his collar bones. for his lower half, he was wearing latex skinny pants, since Mark does pole dancing seldom he doesn't have to show off his legs because you can't pole dance without using your bare body. Mark just gives lap dances or just danced. There is also the VIP rooms nobody really knows what is going on in the rooms unless you are in there so Mark just sticks to the basics, and there are a lot of people where Mark had rejected because of his good lucks and amazing body he gets asked if they can go to the VIP rooms but Mark has always been a coward and said no. But maybe he wants to try something else now.
"I don't know Bams," Mark struggles to put on his pants since they are tight as fuck. He lets a big sigh and lays on the bed with his pants hanging off.
"Do you need help?" Bambam asks him as he is trying to put on his eye shadow.
"Yes, these pants are so tight I don't even know why I bought them,"
Bambam comes over to the bed and nudges his leg with his knee to help him.
"Do you think I should accept the VIP rooms?" Mark asks while helping Bambam put on his latex pants.
"It wouldn't hurt to at least try,"
"Oof, I just get scared that something might happen and I can't control it," Mark explained.
"Look, Mark Hyung if you don't want to do it nobody will force you, you know that right?" Bambam turned Mark's face towards him with his hand.
Mark gave a smile and nodded his head. "I know,"
"Now time for your eyeshadow," Bambam exclaimed as he dragged Mark to sit on the floor to do his make-up.

"Man, what do you think we should do to celebrate?" Yugyeom said as the excitement got into him. Jeabeom just kept thinking about what his father had told him. His father has told him to write a song for the new group's debut and Jaebeom couldn't stop smiling since then. This is his first time putting out anything even if it's known that it's him or not so Jaebeom is more than happy more than glad he is in heaven.
"Yugyeomiee, I want you to throw the best parties that you throw all the time with your other friends and I know that they are not normal," Jaebeom grinned.
"Are you sure?" Yugyeom asked, "It isn't your typical drink, dance and go,"
Jaebeom put a hand on Yugyeoms shoulder, "I don't care what you do just throw me a party in the best way you can!" Jaebeom burst out of the room as he said that.
