“Hyung! Peniel! You ready to go yet?!” Sungjae opened the door to the BtoB bedroom. All the other members were at the front door, preparing to leave as the sun set. “Hyung!” He entered the empty room. “Now, where’d he go!” He adjusted his black fedora before reaching up toward Peniel’s bunk. With his long-sleeved, white dress shirt hanging loosely from his arm, he pulled off a small, folded note from the side of the bed and unfolded it.”

Guys,
I just remembered something I needed to do in town. I won’t take long, I promise. I’ll meet you at the club later.

-Peniel

Sungjae crumpled up the note and tossed it in anger. “Why does he keep doing this!” He stormed out of the room, slamming the door. He better not flake out on us.

Peniel stood in front of the mirror in Beast’s dorm. He smoothly applied eye make-up and straightened his hair, before putting on his studded wristband and sunglasses.

“Lookin, good there, Appa!” Kikwang said leaning in the doorway. “Of course, I’d look better.”

“Whatever you say, Kikwang.” He glanced back at the small dancer, a white vest hanging over his black, sleeveless t-shirt, and a white tie hanging loosely around the boys neck. “Ok, why are you dressed up. It’s almost your bedtime.”

“Appa!~”

“Appa! How do I look?” Yoseob ran up to the caretaker, wearing a large black graphic tee, long black cargo shorts, and a red leather vest with several wristbands.

“Ok, where are you getting these clothes and, what do you think we’re doing!”

“Hyunseung’s almost ready, so we should get going soon, Appa.”

“We?!”

“Yeah! To the party, duh!” Yoseob spoke with a smirk.

“Oh No no no no no!” Peniel spoke, wiping the smile off the main vocal’s face. “I’m going to the party, you all have to stay here. Did you forget that you’re all elementary students now!”

“We didn’t forget, Appa.” Doojoon smirked, entering the hallway outside the bathroom. His black and gold leather jacket covered his Black tee and black jeans. “But we’re going to that party. We haven’t missed the annual Cube celebration party since we debuted.”

“There’s no way you’re coming! You think 6, well dressed kids at a private party would go unnoticed!”

“Relax, Peniel.” Junhyung leaned against the wall outside the bathroom. He sipped down a large can of coke, careful not to spill any on his white sleeveless graphic tee, tucked into his black skinny jeans and studded belt. He adjusted his sunglasses before looking over at Peniel. “Everyone’s drunk off their at this thing anyway. Even if they do spot us, they’ll think ints some kind of hallucination.

“That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.” Peniel walked out of the bathroom, adjusting the collar of his black dress shirt . “And where are these new clothes coming from. They look expensive!”

“They are.” Junhyung smirked, tossing his empty can at Kikwang.

“Ow! Dude! What the hell!” Kikwang rubbed the back of his head.

“Not everyone could be drunk at the party.” Peniel spoke, ignoring Kikwang.

“Have you ever been to a Cube party?” Junhyung asked raising an eyebrow.

Peniel remained silent. Of course he’d never been to a Cube party. They were reserved for artists, and they were rare to happen. In his trainee days, however, he was fully aware of them. They were said to be the social event of the year. All the Cube artists attended them along with a few idols from other companies. Peniel was incredibly excited to be allowed to go to one this time and not just listen to other people, bragging about how they managed to peek into the club while the party was happening.  

“Appa, I’m ready.” Dongwoon strolled in, a brown-gray vest worn over his freshly pressed, black dress shirt. As the maknae adjusted his matching brown-gray fedora, Peniel snapped back into parental mode.

“Again with the clothes! Seriously? Where are you getting them! How much did they cost!”

“Calm down, appa.” Yoseob smiled. “These clothes aren’t new.”

“Huh?”

“We’ve had a lot of free time lately, so we learned a bit of sewing.”

“We just tailored some of our adult clothes.” Dongwoon smiled.

“It wasn’t easy,” Kikwang interjected, holding up his fingers wrapped in several bandages.

Peniel sighed with relief. “Thank goodness. And here I thought you were spending money.” He smiled and Dongwoon, put his hands behind his back.

“Well, actually Appa. There was one thing in the house that couldn’t be tailored.

Peniel’s smile faded, looking down at the shuffling maknae. Dongwoon then smiled, and each Beast member held out one foot, revealing new pairs of expensive sneakers, hi-tops and boots. Peniel’s jaw dropped, looking at the boys’ smiling faces and name brand, designer shoes.

“Here you go, Appa.” Junhyung tossed Peniel his, now empty, wallet and the caretaker’s eye twitched.

“That’s it. I’m outta here.” Peniel walked over to the door, slipping on his own designer sneakers. How and when did those little monsters get my wallet. He reached into his pocket pulling out change. At least I have enough for the bus.

“Hang on, Appa!” Yoseob ran over. “Hyunseung’s almost ready.”

“Oh for the love of- For the last time, you’re not coming!”

“Please,~” Dongwoon whined. “We’ve never missed a Cube party. It’s the only time Hyunseung really gets to drink.”

“Absolutely not.” Peniel sighed rubbing his temples as the said dancer exited the bedroom. He dressed in a simple ensemble of a dark gray blazer, high-top sneakers, and a simple white t-shirt tucked into his light blue skinny jeans with black belt.

“We leaving yet?”

“Guys. Don’t you realize how big a risk it is to appear in public like this? You have to stay home tonight! It’s just one party. You can miss it once.” Doojoon, approached the caretaker as he continued. “What’s one Cube party without Beast?”

“Do you really not want us to be there?”

“Yes! I don’t want you to get caught!”

Doojoon sighed and smiled. “Alright. You won’t see Beast tonight at that party.”

“Promise?”

“I promise.”

“Thank you.” Peniel looked at his watch. “Oh shoot! I gotta get going. I rented you some video games and movies for tonight. Stay safe and call me if something goes- yadda yadda- I gotta go!” He rushed out of the dorm, slamming the door behind him.

As Peniel exited, Doojoon’s smile turned from an honest and sincere one to something a bit more malicious. “Boys, change of plans. Go grab your black hoodies.”

Yoseob smiled walking alongside Junhyung. “We’re going to that party, aren’t we?”

Junhyung smirked, glancing back at Doojoon. “That devious little bastard.”

♪Bwara Mr. Simple, Simple geudaeneun geudaeneun geudaero meotjyeo. Bwara Mrs. Simple, Simple geudaeneun geudaero yeppeo S J Call!♪

The club was blasting Super Junior when Peniel arrived. He adjusted his collar, as he took the long stride inside. He took notice of many idols, not only from Cube, but from many other companies as well. He smiled seeing F(x)’s Krystal chatting with Bang Yong Guk. He giggled watching Shinee’s Taemin and Minho showing off on the dancefloor, and blushed seeing Apink’s Chorong dancing up against 2pm’s Nichkhun. Of course, just as the Junhyung had described, there were plenty of drinks being passed around.

Just as the DJ switched over to F(x)’s Hot Summer, Peniel was able to spot an excited Minhyuk waving for him from a booth on the side of the room. He walked over to the large round booth that seated Minhyuk, Sungjae and Ilhoon,along with 4Minute’s Gayoon.

“Hey, Pen. What took you so long?” Minhyuk asked as the foreigner sat next to Sungjae.

“Just this and that.” He smiled looking around the room. “Wow. This party is way bigger than I expected.”

“Well,” Gayoon spoke up, a smile on her face. “Usually, even though it’s supposed to be a Cube party, the CEOs like to invite any idol willing to come.” She leaned back in her seat sipping down a large strawberry daiquiri.

Minhyuk quickly knocked back a shot of soju before screaming out. “WHOOO!!” He laughed before turning to Peniel. “So can I get you a drink, Peniel. Whatcha drinkin?”

Peniel thought for a second. He wasn’t a heavy drinker but he couldn’t help but get into the atmosphere.  “I guess I’ll try a passion fruit cocktail.”

“What are you a girl?”

Gayoon slapped him on the shoulder before smiling. “Just get ‘im the drink.”

“Ne!~” He called out to the waiter and placed an order for Peniel’s Cocktail as well as another bottle of Soju for the table. The waiter walked off and the club began to bang 4Minute’s ‘Mirror Mirror’.

“Oh! That’s my jam!” Gayoon turned to Minhyuk and yanked on his arm. “C’mon, Squirrely.~ Let’s dance.”

“Hell yeah!” Gayoon pulled Minhyuk out of the booth, pushing past Ilhoon. The two drunk idols soon disappeared onto the dance floor.

“That. That’s not happening, right?” Sungjae asked as both Peniel and Ilhoon shook their heads in laughter.

“They’re both just wasted.” Ilhoon answered, glancing out onto the floor.

Peniel laughed, and searched the dancefloor for his other members. He spotted Eunkwang and VIXX’s Leo rocking out near the DJ, and Hyunsik hitting on a couple of girls he couldn’t recognize. He wasn’t able to locate Changsub, so he assumed his “naughty hands” were getting him into some sort of trouble.

The waiter brought Peniel his cocktail and set the extra bottle of Soju on the table. Sungjae just stared at Peniel sipping on a glass of cherry coke he had ordered earlier.

“This party is really pumping,” Peniel spoke,  as he took a sip of the fruity beverage.

“Yeah it is.”

♪Girl, you're my lollipop, oh girl, you're ma lolli lolli♪

Ilhoon found himself swaying to the music in the booth when he glanced across to floor and his eyes widened. “Oh god! It’s Jihyun.” He smiled, glancing over his sunglasses. “She’s so pretty. I gotta dance with her.”

“Hyung, she’s not into you.” Sungjae spoke up, earning a snicker from Peniel.

“Oh she is. She just doesn’t know it yet.”

“Fine. Go dance with her.” Peniel smirked at the rapper.

“Ok. I will.” Ilhoon stood up and took a step onto the dancefloor before turning back to the table. “Um, I’m gonna need this.” He grabbed the spare soju bottle before heading out onto the dancefloor.

“Hyung! You’re underaged!”

Peniel just shook his head before turning back to the table and sipping his drink.

“So just what were you doing before coming here.” The maknae asked.

Peniel diverted his eyes, his mouth still on the straw of his cocktail. “Oh, y’know, the usual.”

“No, I don’t know.” Sungjae whined. “Hyung, tell me! You’ve been acting so weird lately.”

Peniel sighed, “It’s complicated Sungjae. I can’t really explain it here.”

Sungjae pouted before calling over to the waiter and ordering a plate of dumplings for the two of them. He glanced at Peniel again, watching the foreigner dance lightly to the music, while sipping down his drink. He could tell Peniel was trying to ignore the subject.

The waiter brought them their food, and both boys eagerly scarfed down the plate. Mblaq’s ‘Y’ came on the speakers and Sungjae couldn’t help but sing a bit. “♪...Eotteohke ireohke dang halsuga inayo. Neomuna mideoteon geunyeoga nal balbeun chae, Chagapge deungeul dollyeo♪”

Peniel simply rocked to the music, smiling at the now happy maknae, before taking a bite of another dumpling. He turned back to the dancefloor as he heard the roar of a large crowd. “What’s going on over there?”

“Someone must really be showing off over there.”

“Huh. Is Lee Joon here or something?”

“Um, I don’t think so. I think MBLAQ’s touring Japan.”

“Hmm.” Peniel took another sip of cocktail and watched the crowd part just enough for his to get a glance of what was inside. His eyes widened and he spit out the drink in his mouth. KIKWANG! His eyes narrowed watching a small boy in a black hoodie and jeans blowing up the dancefloor with his powerful moves.

“Whoh. What’s in this coke?” Sungjae poured his soda on the floor as Peniel rushed out onto the dance floor and pulled the young dancer off without anyone noticing.

“WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?!”

The child struggled, suspended by his hooded sweatshirt. “I was dancing! What’d it look like?”

“PABOKWANG! I told you not to come!”

“No. You told Beast not to come. I not Beast right now. I’m Kikwang. Best dancer in the second grade.”

“Pabo!” He lowered the boy to the ground and  whacked him upside the head. “Oh,god. What if somebody saw you!”

“I’m kinda hoping they saw me. I was showing off.”

“Are you really this dumb or just trolling me!”

Kikwang shrugged as he smiled and rocked to the music, taking a few steps back toward the dance floor. Peniel immediately pulled the boy back by his hood. “Ok, Kikwang. Where are the others?”

Kikwang simply giggled and looked toward the side of the room. Peniel followed his gaze then dropped the boy, running toward a booth in the corner.

“Yoseob. Yoseob. Here. L-Listen to me.~ T-that one time. W-when I stepped on your feet practicing Shock. T-That one time! I’m sorry.” Hyunseung leaned over a table with an empty shot glass in one hand and a large soju bottle in the other.

Yoseob giggled from the other side of the booth. “I know, Hyung. I know.”

“N-no.~ You’re not listening. I-I really want you to know I’m sorry.”

“Dude, you are wasted. How many shots have you had?”

Peniel picked up the two boys by their matching black hoodies. “You two are in so much trouble.”

Yoseob giggled as Hyunseung turned to the angry caretaker. “P-Peniel. Appa. Aw man. Y-you found us already.”

“Are you drunk!”

“Smashed.” Yoseob smiled, Peniel glaring at the two boys.

“Aw man~ We-we weren't supposed to come here, huh.” Hyunseung slurred. “Appa. Man. I’m sorry. No really, I’m sorry, man.~”

“How the hell does an eight-year-old get Soju!”

“In this place, very easily.” Yoseob giggled. Peniel sighed heavily, dropping them both back into the booth.

“Where’s-” Peniel was cut off as he felt a cold liquid pour onto his head. He wiped the brown liquid from from his forehead and smelled his hand. Coke. He glanced upwards seeing a blonde and black haired boy leaning over the railing of the second floor. An empty, red can sat within the blonde’s hand.

“Bullseye!” The maknae smiled, tossing the can into the trash can and opening another. The leader simply laughed, sipping on another fizzy red can.

“Et tu, Son Dongwoon.” Peniel stood at the top of the stairs, near the two boys. He glared causing both boys to climb down from the railing. Doojoon simply smiled, approaching the caretaker, his black hoodie perfectly covering his head.

He held out his hand toward Peniel, still smiling. “No hard feelings, eh Appa.”

“No hard feelings?! How can you say that when you broke your promise!!”

“I didn’t break anything. I said that Beast wouldn’t show up here. Do we look like Beast right now?” He smirked at the now glaring foreigner.

“You are one evil little boy.”

“So I’m told.”

“Ack! I gotta get you all home before anyone sees you! Where is Junhyung?”

“Yo! Yo! Yo!~ This is the joker! Heh.”

“Oh no.”

The three of them looked back over the railing toward the DJ’s stage where a black hooded child took hold of the microphone.

“Yo, DJ,play me a beat.”

The DJ obeyed, not really paying much attention to the young boy’s stature or appearance. Junhyung quickly familiarized himself with the type of beat and smiled as he began to rap.

“♪Ya already know imi al-ket-jiman nan, saenggakboda ingi-ga manhaseo malya keu dongan mot mannat-deon, yeojadeu-ri manha ni-ga keuri-ul teumdo eobshi manna, na eobshi jal chinael man hashimnikka dareun sarang chaja-gaseo mam pyeonhashimnikka, hokshi huhweh gateun geol hajin anhket-ji jamkkan donganinama nal wahnbyeokha-ge manggatteuryeosseunikka♪”

The crowd cheered the young rapper as he held the mic to his mouth and the DJ played another beat. “Yo. Yo. ♪Something good Nothing better. Naege hando eobtneun credit ca-♪”

Peniel swiftly yanked the rapper off the stage and pulled him toward the shadows, glaring daggers at the young boy. “You do know I hate you right now, right?”

“You do know your head smells like coke, right?” The boy smirked as Peniel pushed him away.

“Yeah whatever.” He turned around searching the club for the other boys. “We gotta get you all home before your discovered. Just stick with me and we can make it out of this-” He turned back around noticing the purple haired boy had disappeared from his sight. Not again!!

“Alright, y’all. You know what time it is! Karaoke!!” The crowd cheered as the DJ stood out on stage. He began spinning different tracks and various artists got up on stage to sing.

Peniel searched the club for the six little monsters, only following brief glimpses of their hoods and the clues of mischief they left all over the club. “Damnit, where are they!”

“Peniel? What’s up?”

Peniel swiftly turned around to see his dongsaeng staring at him. “Nothing, Sungjae. Don’t worry about it.” Sungjae eyed Peniel in confusion. “By the way, you haven’t seen any black hooded little trolls roaming around, have you?”

Sungjae tilted his head in confusion. “Hyung? Just how many of those cocktails did you have?”

“Ugh!!” Peniel turned toward the stage, watching Zelo and Yongguk performing GDragon’s ‘Crayon’. He narrowed his eyes and focused on a spot behind the DJ’s booth. He soon took off running, seeing a smiling child waving from behind the stage.

“Gotcha.” He stood at the base of the stage confronting the smiling leader, the main vocal ducking behind him. “We’re going home no-”

“Alright! Alright! Looks like we have our next vocalist!”

Peniel turned around slowly toward the DJ to see him looking over at him. It was then he noticed the two BAP members had finished their song and all eyes were now on him. Crap!

“Let’s give it up for BtoB’s, Peniel Shin!!”

The crowd cheered and Peniel felt himself sweating. He was about to make a break for it when he felt a small tug on his sleeve. As he turned around, he noticed the black-haired eight-year-old handing him a microphone, whispering toward the caretaker “Don’t worry, Appa. I found a song I’m pretty sure you’ll know.”

“You planned this?!” Peniel whispered before taking ahold of the mic. The music began playing and he immediately recognized the tune. Doojoon was right. Peniel did know the song. He heard it many times over the radio, growing up in Chicago.

As he turned back toward the audience he swallowed hard. Seems like he had no choice but to sing. At least he could keep the idols from noticing the children hidden behind the stage.

“♪I do any and everything you want to, Make your girl go oooh-oooh~ Why's he so fly♪” Peniel sang nervously at first but began to loosen up, noticing the audience getting the performance. He wasn’t sure if it was the alcohol in his system or if Doojoon was really persuasive, but at this point, he decided to throw caution to the wind.

“♪She likes it my way~ my way~ You can't satisfy her needs, She keeps running back to see me do it, My way~ my way~ What I say goes, and I'm in control!♪”

Peniel rapped through the next verse keeping everyone in the room enticed. He glanced toward the back of the room, seeing all six boys watching him. He gazed over the boys’ smiling faces, Hyunseung drunkenly leaning on Junhyung’s shoulder. He couldn’t help but smile as well. Doojoon gave the caretaker a simple thumbs up and the boys turned around to exit the building. Peniel knew this meant they were done torturing him for the day and were finally headed home. He felt now he could finally enjoy his first Cube party.

“♪My way~ my way~What I say goes, and I'm in control♪”

Peniel finished the song as the crowd of idols cheered. He exited the stage and let out a sigh of relief. I guess what they say is true. What’s a Cube party without Beast.
