"Blessing In Disguise" | Chaeyoung x Male Reader

Even though going to a pub wasn't exactly part of your plans for the remainder of the night, you had to do it as a last resort given what had just occurred in your little home.

Here you are in the middle of a quiet, dark night, giving your card to the security officer before heading into the bright, boisterous pub, a place in contrast to its surroundings.

You went right to the bar stool and snatched one of the seats that was available, making this your only reason for being here. The bartender turned to face you after you patiently waited for him to complete serving his other customer.

"One negroni, please."

The bartender complied right away, grabbing all his tools and the bottle of your preferred drink as he started to do his task. While you went for another minute to wait, a voice of the male DJ echoed through the speakers, drawing the crowd as he makes his announcement.

"And now, give it up for the main event of this evening as we're about to be graced by her wonderful performance, please welcome Lady Tigress!!!"

The men who are hoarded at the front of the stage cheered, not giving a damn at how noisy and dumb they look to the rest, only having you rolling your eyes out at them.

A fine lady just emerged from behind the curtain, introducing herself to everybody and enlighten the many why she has the most overwhelming praise given by the DJ.

She wasn't even performing yet it was very clear to you now why are all these men are so excited to see her. She certainly looks phenomenal. Her red and black checkered outfit that exquisitely encapsulates her petite body and exposing her milky chest and shoulder, combined with a matching red furry coat cover her back and arms, and lastly followed by her long curly black that connect to her head displayed by such a doll-like stunning visual is sufficient to describe the wonders this woman has.

However, the difference you can possibly figure out is that you were unlike these men who were for sure… has something more wanting see from what the girl has to offer from the audience.

The music played, it was slow and sultry, already a hint about what will her performance gonna be. Lady Tigress started to sway her hips while gently roaming her hands down through her front view, making all the men go shut up and stare at her movements.

It was honestly creepy in fact when you took a glance at them. The lust, depraved, animalistic stares in their eyes and how their lips are wickedly grinning were all evident to see. Now it had you thinking it's a bad idea and you're not going to turn your sight anymore instead at this woman.

The bartender excused you for a second to have your negroni given. You thanked him and drank it while you continued watching Lady Tigress dance.

The bitterness and the strong effect of the alcohol cursing through your body had a strange feeling as it combines to the heated and awestrucked reaction you are having when Lady Tigress began pulling off some sexy moves, going all fours on the stage and twirling her cute ass in front of everybody before sliding her body down through the stage.

Her image shifted through the rest of her time of performing in stage, providing her fans and the viewers more to be accentuated with her alluring moves she has in store for her. She twirled around at the pole one last time, circled around it, paused as she did a booty drop three time before crashing down beside the pole, embracing it as her final pose to end the show.

All the men howled in excitement, throwing their money at the stage. You clapped as your sign of appreciation until you noticed that your stare was matched by her, unknown to the crowd here that you and the performer were having an unreadable eye contact together.

She smirked before walking out on the stage, making you furrow your brows and chuckle at what does it mean. You returned on minding your business, drinking as many shots of negroni you can in take to ease yourself.

Few minutes later, the bartender handed you your 5th glass for the night. You were about to put your mouth on its tip when you felt somebody bumped into your shoulder before its feminine voice began to speak.

"Give me the usual, Alan. Please." The bartender nodded at her request.

You turned your eyes to see the girl on your side. It was her, the Lady Tigress. Looking at her up close, you were taken aback at how beautiful she truly does tonight.

"I recommend you to drink already before a mosquito gets into your gaping mouth. "We don't want that to happen, shall we?" She stated, her face crunched as she was amused at what she told to you.

"O-oh… sorry." You blinked rapidly before gulping all the alcohol.

"So what's a handsome guy doing here, loosening up the night away alone?" The Tigress asked, fully interrupting your alone time.

"Taking a break, you know. I don't want to get stressed too much."

"Workplace difficulties?"

"Nah. I love my job."

"Hmm." She cupped her chin to think. "Ahh, okay I get it now. Love?"

"Bingo."

"How stupid of me, it's the most common and yet I wasn't able to guess it right at the first try." Tigress giggled, effectively made you smile.

"It's fine. Well, I've heard some that I meet in my life saying that I'm hard to read."

"Mmm is that so?" The Tigress reacted, understanding your point. The bartender Alan handed her the drink afterwards. "Then what's your name, honey?"

"P-Pardon?"

"Your name, silly. I'm curious to know."

"YN." You answered. "How about you, I suppose Lady Tigress is just your stage name."

"Well done, detective. Ofcourse it is." Tigress rolled her eyes. Your body tensed as you find that action kinda hot from her. "My name's Chaeyoung… and I want to get to know you more."

She pursed her body forward to deepen her stare and show her intrigued cunning smirk at you. You gulped at her demeanor before you cleared your throat to break the tension.

"Oh… y-you do?" You sheepishly responded.

"Yeah. You said you're hard to read, and I find you interesting YN. It wouldn't hurt for me to try and get a shot to learn more about who you really are." She laid her head on her fist being supported by her arm on the stool.

"B-but… wait, do you mean as a friend or… I mean-" You paused as you sensed some trouble in trying to respond in her willingness. "I have a girlfriend."

Chaeyoung just laughed about it. "Oh silly, I know but… as if I care." Her uplifted face changed into a serious one before going back to being silly, finding out that you're being pranked and played by this strange woman.

"Just kidding. I just want us to be friends. You seem like a nice guy, and ooh you don't know how I love being with nice guys." She said in a dreamy tone. "Makes me became became special, more attached, more… possessive." You were so focused on listening at what she said that you don't even realize her fingers are crawling through your hand laying on the stool.

You fakely coughed and pretended that your hand she was trying to grab is the one you want to use on taking your glass of Negroni. "We all want a nice p-person, Chaeyoung and to be treated kindly, I-I get what you mean."

Chaeyoung sensed something wrong when your face lowered as your words reminded you of your problem. "What's with the frown? Did you get stabbed by your own knife?"

"I suppose you could say that."

"Hmm, so you're taken." Chaeyoung spoke it in a hidden disappointment. "You have a girlfriend? There's something happened between you two?"

"Yeah." You admitted. "These days she's acting like herself, the one that I used to fall in love to. Every time it's just her and I, we couldn't even spend the time right because we always argue about small things and what I don't understand is that… why is she always the one who brings that up."

"A sweet and lovely girlfriend turned into a cold and arrogant lover scenario, am I right?" Chaeyoung pondered.

"That's exactly what it is."

"Do you happen to give it a guess what irritates her?"

You looked at Chaeyoung and your head bowed, in sync with your sadness. "Me."
