Jungkook was outside the entrance door ready to go inside but then he took a step backward.
He was contemplating if he should enter the bar or not. For some reason, he felt like something was strange.
Cielo and Torin messaged him to tell that they were already inside the bar.
"Sir, are you going in? There will be a good activity soon, so please step inside while it hasn't started yet." Said the guard at the door smiling.
Jungkook smiled back in an awkward way and entered the main door. He could hear the screams and the music as he walked towards the door.
He got his card and placed it on the scanner. That instant the door opened and Jungkook was dazzled by the lights that struck directly at him, then he heard a man's shout, "There he comes!"
The man's shout was followed by the screams of the ladies inside the bar.
Jungkook looked astounded when a bouncer approached him.
"Congratulations to our five participants!" This time it's a woman's voice.
"I'm Denise Ming, the owner of this bar. As you can see this 'TAKE ME HOME' segment is only done once a year for charity cause because the money from our bids will go directly to the Cancer Patients organization that our bar is supporting. So, I encourage you guys, our five hot men to come here to the front and don't let down our beloved patients that will be given with so much help due to your hotness, guys…" explained Denise Ming cheerfully.
The crowd roared as each of them shouted and encouraged each man picked by the bouncers.
"What the hell is wrong with this bouncers!" Torin exclaimed. He looked so sulky while Cielo laughed out hard.
"Jungkook was chosen… all five men are extremely hot." Cielo stated as she shrugged her shoulders.
"And I'm not hot?" Torin blurted out irritably. He missed the chance to have a beautiful date tonight.
He was even extremely excited because he noticed that there were many beautiful ladies inside and he believed that most of them were from prestigious families too.
"Well, I guess you're not that lucky?" Cielo teased him back.
Lisa was at the center of the stage and stared at Jungkook who walked with the bouncer at his front.
"Seriously? You choose me?" She heard Drey's voice that was continuously complaining to the bouncer.
May and Lana burst out in laughter but none of them dared to tell the bouncer that Drey preferred to date with the same sex.
"Go with him, Drey… It's for a good cause, think about how you can help others by using your face." Lisa said with her eyes still fixed on Jungkook.
Drey scratched his head and obliged. To be honest, he was at a critical stage of his life where he couldn't decide what he preferred because he also admired beautiful women like Lisa.
But that was kept to himself because he didn't want the girls who thought he was straight for men to feel awkward with him.
"Lisa, will you bid for me please?" Drey pleaded but May answered in return laughing, "I will start the bid for you Drey for 1USD, how about that?"
"Darn, May, bid for 10,000 USD and I will pay you!" Drey hissed.
May stuck out her tongue at Drey before the bouncer guided him at front.
"I guess you will spend a lot tonight…" Lana murmured as she looked at the women who were obviously drooling over Jungkook who passed them to walk to the front.
"Well… let's see who will dare to surpass me. Tonight, I will spend enormously to help Cancer Patients, Lana. My parents will be proud of me." Lisa said with her mischievous smile.
Jungkook tried to find Torin and Cielo in the crowd.
He was about to refuse the bouncer but then the owner mentioned that it would be for a charity cause for patients with cancer.
His father died because of cancer. And they were incapable of maintaining his hospitalization and medications during those times.
He was willing to do anything for a good cause…
"Oh… Our hot men are so good and cooperative. Thank you so much, gentlemen. I'm sure our ladies here can no longer wait to place their bids and take you home, guys!!!" Denise announced and the ladies screamed.
"Don't worry, ladies. These gentlemen before you will be scanned to prove that they are trustworthy. Give us five minutes and while we wait, we will let them introduce themselves and give you a quick peek of what they can do, so we can decide on our bids." Denise explained as she signaled her bouncers to get the fingerprints and profile for each man.
The men introduced themselves, each just mentioned their names and nicknames while all the ladies continued to scream and cheer.
Afterward, Denise began the bidding, as each profile of the five men appeared on her tablet screen.
"Wow, look at what we have here…" Denise exclaimed excitedly.
"Ladies… I believe that tonight is your lucky night because all of them are bachelors and with quite a good profession I must say. Damn, too bad I can't join the bidding!" Denise said jokingly.
"Shall we begin?!" Denise asked with a wink and all the ladies screamed...
***
"There's only two left for you, ladies. Ahmm, but wait we have a young man in here. He's 19? What the heck? You don't look 19 to me at all!" Denise exclaimed as she looked at Drey and read his profile.
The man was well built and more mature looking than his age.
"Oh, you're the only son of the well-known painter Senior Russo? Oh my… I'm a fan of your father!" Denise suddenly blurted out, which made the crowd murmur.
"He's not bad,' Cielo murmured as she drank her beer.
Torin's eyes widened. "The hell. Don't tell me you did not bid to anyone because you like that one? You like a younger man?" He exclaimed in disbelief.
Yes, the man was matured looking but he's only 19 and Cielo is 23 or 24?
Cielo chuckled and said, "Yes, Torin, I prefer young boys because they are easier to tame. You know they are still naive and..."
"Stop! I don't want to hear it anymore. You give me goosebumps all over!" Torin complained about with a weary expression, which made Cielo laugh out hard.
Of course, she was just joking but she would get that boy since she was also a die-hard fan of his dad. Besides, it's for a good cause, so her money won't be wasted.
"Alright, ladies, place your bids!" Denise shouted.
"50 dollars!" May shouted and the crowd laughed because all bids on previous men started at 1,000 dollars.
Drey narrowed his eyes at May who only laughed and blinked an eye at him.
"100 dollars!" Lana shouted next. She also blinked at Drey and gave him a flying kiss.
Drey glared at them both saying silently, "I'm going to kill you two once this is over!"
"2,000 dollars!" Shouted Cielo and made Drey almost jump up from happiness for gaining his pride back.
"Look at that brute feeling so happy with that wide smile." May said laughing."
They wanted to tease Drey more but that lady who bid killed their plan.
"2,500 dollars!" Another lady shouted.
Torin felt more frustrated when he noticed that all women that were participating in the bid were all young and beautiful. Cielo was also pretty, although she's the tomboy type.
"Dude, you all should wear glasses next time you pick hot men! How come you guys failed to see this gorgeous man at your side," Torin uttered when one of the bouncers passed at him.
He twitched his mouth when the bouncer just smiled at him then shrugged his shoulders.
"5,000 dollars!" Cielo shouted.
Torin's jaw dropped when he saw Cielo's serious expression at that moment. She was exchanging glances with the other lady who was competing with her on the bid.
"7,000 dollars!" Shouted the same lady who was competing with Cielo through eye contact.
"What is this? Do you know each other?" Torin asked when he sensed that what was happening was not just because of the bid.
"10,000 dollars!" Cielo shouted with a smirk. That woman was the one who stole her first love during junior high and made her look like a stalker.
This time she would make sure she got the man!
"15,000 dollars!"
"Wow, two women fighting for our young Russo in here," Denise said enthusiastically
"25,000 dollars!" Cielo shouted with a triumphant smile. Because she knew the capacity of Sheena. She wouldn't bid pass her last bids.
"I'm richer than you now…" she murmured proudly.
Torin's knees weakened as he stared at Cielo, with pouted lips he asked, "Will you also bid that high for me if I'm the one there?"
Cielo laughed and replied, "Torin, I won't even dare to bid, even if you were the last man, dear."
"Ouch!" Torin exclaimed as he exaggeratedly touched his chest and acted as he suffered from a serious blow.
"25,000 dollars… sold! Milady, come on up here, claim your man and take him home!" Shouted Denise.
Cielo walked towards Drey and stopped when she passed by at Sheena's to wink at her and smile triumphantly.
"In your face." She mused and giggled happily as she approached Drey and pulled the latter.
"Come here, baby! Let's have fun!" Cielo shouted and Dre's face paled. Obviously, the woman was already drunk.
He felt like he was in big trouble. He looked at the girls but the woman was strong and he just ended up where she pulled him.
"What? That woman is a lieutenant at the academy?" Lana repeated when Lisa mentioned that the woman who won Drey on the bid was one of Jungkook's friends.
"Yup, so there's nothing to worry. Drey will be fine." Lisa added, as her eyes went back to where Jungkook was standing.
"Wow, and for our final man, he is truly impressive. One of the youngest Generals in our country, ladies! A young General!" Denise exclaimed which made the ladies scream.
Jungkook's face reddened in embarrassment.
'It's for Cancer Patients organization.' He kept on reminding himself silently because if not he would absolutely not participate in something like this.
"Okay, ladies let's…" before Denise could finish her words, a loud voice interrupted her and left the crowd open-mouthed.
"50,000 dollars!!!"
