When they finished eating, Ashley’s brothers decided to go clubbing. They also agreed to invite Koji to get to know him better. Arthur, ’the fake boyfriend,’ extended the invitation, so Koji wouldn’t be able to decline.
"Come on, Koji, why don’t you join us so we could get to know you better. Moreover, I’m sure you will find it enjoyable once we get there. I promise you!" Arthur encouraged him while his arm was on Koji’s shoulder.
Koji was unfamiliar in that kind of closeness and a bit speechless. And because he doesn’t want it to be evident that he was not used in that kind of environment, he accepts the invitation and comes with Ashley’s brothers and ’fake boyfriend.’
The group didn’t have to go too far. The club is right on the rooftop of the hotel. In just a few moments, they arrived. It’s the hottest club in Makati, and it’s the hangout place for the known personalities, politicians, and the rich.
Therefore, when the group arrived. The place was jammed and like it was very long. The odd thing was, even though the line was long... the guest stood happily chatting with one another while checking out other people around them. Some of them even dance from the beat coming from the inside of the club.
Koji frowned when he saw that many were in the line. He thought that it would take a long time before they entered the club. He was not ready to wait in line and was about to find an excuse so he could leave. However, he was so shocked when Arman continued walking as if he owns the place. He walks straight up, and everyone just follows.
When the bouncer saw Arman approaching. He quickly removes the boundary, "Good evening, sir!" He greeted Arman before standing on the side so that they could enter.
"Good evening to you too! We’re full capacity again, huh?" Arman greeted him back before walking straight, followed by Koji and his brothers.
Arman already called the manager of the club to reserve the upper floor for them only. Because they’re with Koji, they don’t want it to be disturbed. So when they all entered the club, they headed straight to the upper floor, where it is the private area for the VIP customers.
Right after they entered, people were ranting on why the bouncer let them come inside.
"Bro, how much do we have to pay like them? Maybe we can afford, come one!" said one person in line.
The bouncer smiled, "Sir, I’m sorry, but because you pay me high, I can’t because we are really in full capacity. I might get in trouble by that," the bouncer calmly said.
"If you’re full capacity inside, why do they enter? We’ve been waiting here for more than an hour, so how could that happen?" The voice of the person asking rises.
The bouncer decided to tell them why to shut them up." It’s because the man in front is the general manager of this hotel. They have their own private room, and no one is allowed to use it except when they are entertaining a customer.
"While the man on the back who just entered, you can see in his figure that he was a Japanese. He is one of the owners of this hotel. So now that you know why they have the privilege to enter immediately.
"Please go back in line so that people who’ll exit can come out. " After that, the bouncer went back to his position earlier.
The customer left with no choice but to go back to their line and wait. But there was still ranting while going back in front. "Gosh! We are customers who should be the ones important. But no, just because they are the manager and own this place, they can enter even though it is already full." One customer said to his companion.
The bouncer heard what the customer said, but he didn’t mind it and just shut his mouth and stayed where he was.
"Well, if you want to always enter without waiting, then build your own club. Hahaha!" The other customer said to him.
All of the people in line heard it laugh. Because the customer’s patience in front is wearing thin who is also the person ranting, he encouraged his companions to leave." Come on, they’re still clubs out there." then he turns around and left the line
They were not so far when there was a group of ten people leaving the club. After they already go, the bouncer quickly let another 10 people in line enter.
If the customer didn’t let his anger control him, he might now be enjoying inside the club. But because he made his passion fill him, he was left behind.

Meanwhile, they let Koji get drunk to talk more. And they don’t fail when he starts talking on how he and Ashley meet.
He didn’t stop there, even though Arthur was there who is the ’fake boyfriend’ of Ashley. Koji was still talking about what he’s true feelings about Ashley.
"I’m sorry, my friend, I know he’s your girlfriend, but the two of you are still not married, and I still have a chance. So you should be careful cause I will do everything to get her from you." Koji seriously said to Arthur while he’s still drinking.
Arthur thought of challenging him to know if he can be teased immediately. "Bro, do it if you can! Go ahead! But let me tell you right now, my girlfriend is not a worldly type of person.
"So you can’t get her by your wealth. But if you think you can charm her because of your handsomeness... Go ahead! I dare you!" Arthur triumphed while winking at his brothers.
"Sure! It’s a deal! If she falls in love with me, she wishes to break up with you, you must let her go.
Understood?" This time Koji stood up while groggy, forcing himself to leave. But he just walks less than a meter when he falls flat on his face on the ground before getting knock-out!
