Chapter Text
Baekhyun looks at his reflection in the mirror and is finally satisfied with what he sees. For over an hour he was trying on different outfits, not sure which vibe to go for this time. Now he has settled for black leather pants and a slightly see-through dark mesh shirt. Nothing that attracts too much attention to him but still highlights his slim waist and toned chest. After all, he isn't sure yet what he is looking for tonight.
Stepping closer to the mirror, he fixes his makeup one last time, his blonde hair parted in the middle to show his forehead. Pleased with his appearance, he turns around and walks towards the bed, grabbing his phone from the nightstand to check the time. The brightness of the screen attacks his eyes after he unlocks it and he quickly turns it down. It is almost midnight. He always loses track of time while getting ready and he already wanted to be out of the apartment by now.
He only woke up a few hours ago, his job as a pilot making it hard for him to have a normal sleep pattern. Going to work at ungodly hours and flying through different time zones messes with his daily rhythm and lately his schedule has been particularly packed. Nevertheless, he wouldn't trade his job for anything. Exploring different countries and getting to know people from all over the world is part of his job description. The incredible responsibility which comes with it might be too much to handle for some people, but being able to prove he is capable of functioning under such intense pressure makes Baekhyun's chest swell with pride. Seeing the passengers leave the huge plane once they have landed provides him a kind of confidence nothing else can give him. He flew that plane across the ocean, he made sure everything went smoothly and he brought all the passengers safely to their destination.
But tonight, he doesn't want responsibility, he wants the exact opposite. He wants to let go, turn off his brain and let his body decide for him. That is why he is finally making his way outside, to get exactly what his heart desires. After tucking his phone away in his pocket, he puts on a light jacket before leaving his apartment. It is a warm summer night, he doesn't really need a jacket, but flashing anyone on the street isn't his intention right now. Being greeted by stuffy, humid air as soon as he leaves his apartment building makes him question this decision instantly. He wants to rip the jacket off his shoulders but he will have to bear with it until he reaches the club.
As he crosses the street and takes a right turn, he thinks about the club he is headed to which is thankfully only a few minutes away by foot. But it isn't just any random club, it is a BDSM club.
He actually got to know about it from a colleague, Jongdae, who works at the airport security. They met a few years ago, when Baekhyun's luggage was randomly selected for an additional security check before he could enter the boarding area. Jongdae carried his suitcase to a separate room where it was just the two of them. A very nervous Baekhyun followed him, knowing exactly what the security guard was about to find in his luggage and he wasn't really ready to die of embarrassment already wearing his pilot uniform. But when Jongdae unpacked the huge hyperrealistic dildo which Baekhyun had stuffed to the very bottom of his suitcase, the other one only gasped and asked Baekhyun where he got it from, because he had never seen such a realistic one before.
Exchanging dildo recommendations was exactly the icebreaker they needed. After Baekhyun's luggage was approved by Jongdae, they exchanged numbers with Baekhyun promising to send him the link for the dildo. In the following weeks, they met up several times at one of airport cafes when Jongdae was on his break and Baekhyun was early for one of his flights. That was how they discovered they are both gay and into the kinky lifestyle.
"What a shame you're also a bottom, we would have been a pretty couple," Baekhyun winked before taking a sip of his coffee.
"Seeing what you take up your ass, I'm not sure my size would have satisfied you," Jongdae admitted, watching Baekhyun with a knowing smile. "But I know a place where we can both find what we want. A friend of mine owns a BDSM club in the city. I'm already a verified member, so I could get you in too."
Baekhyun wasn't sure what to answer, so he just frowned and stayed silent for a few seconds. He had never been to such a club before and although he was into the lifestyle, he wasn't convinced these clubs were something he would enjoy. He always thought of them as a dirty and precarious place somewhere in a dark alley.
"It's not what you think it is, it's a very exclusive club. It's safe and clean, located on the top floor of an office building, not some shady backyard. And it's not like anyone can just go there, you have to be a registered member. If you're new and want to join, another member has to recommend you and come along with you. Afterwards you fill out your application and meet with the owner. If he approves, you pay the membership fee and now you can indulge in your darkest fantasies."
The smirk on his friend's face made it hard for Baekhyun not to agree to the idea instantly. But although it sounded like this would actually be a proper BDSM establishment, he still had some doubts.
"A membership fee? How much would that be? And what if the owner doesn't accept me? Also, what if someone recognizes me and or takes pictures of me? Seems like a lot of work just to get into a club," Baekhyun stated, some of the questions worrying him more than others as he bit down on his lower lip.
But Jongdae only laughed in response. "First, the last thing you have to worry about is the fee, I can afford it and I make much less than you. Second, as I said, the owner is a friend of mine, I'm absolutely sure he will approve of you. That's just a necessary precaution he has to take to stop all the creeps from entering. So as long as you don't act like a psychopath, I'm sure you will get in."
A light chuckle escaped Baekhyun before he answered, "I think, I can manage that."
"Good. And third, you don't have to worry about any pictures or videos. You're not allowed to take your phone with you, you have to leave it at the entrance. So, what do you say, do you want to join me next weekend?"
Before Baekhyun could make up his mind, Jongdae added another perk. "And did I mention it's a gay BDSM club, men only? So, you don't have to worry about anyone's sexuality, just pick one of the many tops who are looking for a pretty bottom like you."
"Okay, you got me, I'm coming with you," Baekhyun couldn't hold back his excited grin anymore after downing the rest of his coffee and getting up from his seat. "See you soon then."
Baekhyun snaps out of his daydream as he nearly collides with a group of drunken teenagers. He quickly apologizes but they already moved past him, continuing their journey towards the crowded main street with loud music coming from all the bars and clubs on the other end. On such a hot Saturday evening, they are filled to the brim with people wanting to forget about their problems.
But Baekhyun is heading in the opposite direction, right into an almost empty street which mainly consists of office buildings. After another five minutes of walking, he stops in front of one of them. On the outside, it looks exactly like all the other offices surrounding him but he knows the top floor of this building is very much not a boring office with some desks and computers. It is one of his favorite places in the city. Looking back, he is still glad Jongdae convinced him to come with him that day.
As he walks through the front door into the lobby, he quickly glances at the board displaying the logos of the different businesses in the building. For a second, his eyes rest on the very last one at the bottom, a completely black sign with simple white letters forming a single word. Evermore.
Baekhyun silently wonders how a kink club can have such a name while heading towards the elevator. He nods at the security guard sitting behind a desk next to it. The man answers with a light smile before he looks down on his phone again. After visiting this place regularly for years, Baekhyun doesn't even have to identify himself anymore.
Once Baekhyun entered the elevator, he presses the button with the number 30 and watches as the doors close. When they open again, he is greeted by a short hallway with a black door at the end. On his left, there is a reception desk with a young woman behind be counter.
"Baekhyun, nice to see you. You haven't been here in a while," she welcomes him with a warm smile.
"Yeah, I know, work is keeping me pretty busy lately. That's why I'm looking forward to tonight," Baekhyun returns the smile, while handing her his phone together with his jacket. He already knows the procedure. "Take good care of it."
"I always do," the woman replies before putting his belongings in one of the lockers behind her. "Have fun tonight, it's pretty full in there. A lot of handsome guys waiting for you."
"Damn, I hope so," he answers as he opens the black door leading him to the one encounter, that would change his life forever.
