Elite Club

-----25th July 2020 21.00 pm----

Joseph walks toward the Thai Airline reception at the Incheon Airport to check in his luggage.

Minah says, "I see the benefits of being a ghost. I don't have to pay for my flights"

Joseph thinks about how much money he spent to book the hotel. He glares at Minah.

Minah says, "Don't look at me like that! I told you I will be happy paying for your flight and hotel!"

Joseph shakes his head and walks toward the departure gates in the airport.

Joseph worries that people might think that he is crazy for talking to himself, because they could not see Minah is communicating with him. He took his phone out, pretending to be talking on his phone. He tells Minah, "Why don't you go find Sarah now, and we meet on the plane later? My seat is at 10B"

Minah says, "OK. She probably on the first-class airport lounge now"

Minah follows Sarah wherever she will go, all around the airport. However, she did not see Jayden coming. She started to feel guilty toward Joseph after he spent 2 months salary just for 2 days trip. She hopes that this trip will be fruitful for him.

The plane takes off.

As they arrived in Bangkok. Minah tells Joseph that nothing suspicious. Joseph keeps his fingers crossed. Hoping that his instinct is right.

As they arrived at the Royal Hotel of Bangkok, Sarah checked in the suite room in the Royal hotel. Joseph checked in too. Joseph took out his phone and pretended to talk on the phone again. He tells Minah, "Why don't you stay in Sarah's room? My room is just next to hers. If there's anything, just sneak into my hotel room. #7705"

Minah agrees. Minah followed Sarah, they took a lift and goes into Sarah's room.

Joseph took another lift to go into his room. He does not want Sarah to notice that they have followed her.

In hotel room #7707, Sarah opens the door, puts her luggage, and goes into the bathroom for a shower.

After a shower, she uses the hairdryer to blow her hair.

She puts on her robe, turns on music, walks toward the mini-fridge to take a bottle of wine to drink.

Minah sits on a tub chair opposite the bed and says, "Why didn't I fly here when I am still alive."

In Joseph's room, after having his shower, he took a grab of bites in the hotel room. Took out his notebook to surf on several websites from the internet. Feeling despair, he uses his palm to smack the tub chair he is sitting on, and says, "I spent ₩1,000,000 per night on this room just to surf on the internet" He shakes his head in disbelief.

Within an hour, someone rings the bell of Sarah's room. Minah is excited, she is expecting Jayden to appear.

Sarah walks toward the door. She looked through the glass on the door to peek who is the visitor. After checking, she opens the door.

A middle-aged man walking into her room. Sarah greeted him respectfully with a bow and smile.

Minah asked, "Who is this old fart?"

Sarah asked the man to go for a shower. Minah was extremely shocked. It was really totally out of her expectation.

The man walks to the tub chair to leave his belonging on it. He took out from his wallet a card, and Sarah took the card to check and check on her phone. Sarah put the card on the round side table.

Minah looks at the card, "Elite Club membership". The name printed on the card is Gavin Li.

Minah continues to watch them. She sees Sarah grabbing his hand, took him to the bathroom. She follows. Minah quickly uses his palm to close her eyes as she sees Sarah helping him to remove his clothes. She quickly walks off from the bathroom and goes back to the tub chair.

After the man shower, he walks out of the bathroom naked. Minah shakes her head as she finds it disgusting. She holds her courage to watch them, she really intrigued to know what is this "Elite Club" all about.

Sarah took out a medicine container and says, "Would you like to buy this Viagra? It's the most recent development. If you are interested, this is about $500."

The man chuckled and says, "Count in all together and I will pay everything in cash to Jayden"

Minah gets a hint that Jayden is pimping Sarah. Minah does not like the scene, but she tries hard to stay back in the room just to eavesdropping their conversation.

The man walks toward Sarah and took the pill. He swallows it and grabs a bottle of water to drink right after.

After a few minutes, he grabbed Sarah to kiss her.

Minah could not believe what she just saw. Sarah is actually kissing back and having sex with the man.

They took a rest in between.

The man says, "I have been an Elite Club member for 3 years, from all the recommendation from Jayden. You tasted the best!"

Sarah chuckled and says, "I am glad you are happy. Don't forget to contact me again. Would have been fun to meet again" she winked at the man.

Minah says, "Elite Club membership"

Minah rushed to the room of Joseph. Minah called Joseph. He was sleeping on his bed. Minah woke him up and says, "Guess what?"

Joseph rubbed his eyes and asked, "What?"

Minah says, "Sarah is selling her body through an underground socialite club"

Joseph shocked and says, "No wonder she flies here. Now, this ₩1,000,000 is really worth spending. Tell me more!"

Minah says, "I told you I will pay for your hotel and flight, you keep grumbling the ₩1,000,0000!"

Joseph says, "Tell me what you found out?"

Minah says, "Do you know who is Gavin Li? He is right now in Sarah's room"

Joseph quickly grabbed his clothes to put on. He took his camera, "Let's go take some pictures"

Joseph thought of an idea, "Gosh, now I have to spend a little more money."

Minah glared at Joseph.

Joseph made a phone call to the reception. When someone answered the phone, Joseph says, "I would like to order a bottle of wine to room #7707."

After Joseph hangs up the phone, he races out of the room, put his bags on the floor, having a camera set on the position of Sarah's room. He uses a cap to cover the camera.

Minah says, "What if someone steals the camera and your belonging?"

Joseph says, "If you spend ₩1,000,000 per night, the security can't be weak. I do not believe any random guy will be stealing."

Joseph goes back into his room and peeks from the peephole of the door.

A server from the bar walks to Sarah's room and knocks on her door.

The server greeted Sarah with respect. He took the wine bottle from the room service food cart and gave it to Sarah.

Sarah opens the door. She waves at him and says, "No. No." But the server doesn't understand her body language.

The man in Sarah's room appears in front of the door. He took the wine and says to Sarah, "Let me pay for it". He took out cash from his wallet and gives it to the server.

After the server left, Sarah and Gavin went back into the room.

Joseph quickly open the door and took the camera and his belonging back into his room. He looks at the video, laughed.

Joseph says, "Well done! You can see the man and Sarah clearly from here. The best part of it, they are wearing bathroom robes."

Joseph uploaded the video into his cloud account. He screenshot the face of Gavin Lee from the video and search for his identity from an app on his computer.

Minah and Joseph look on the app,

Scanning.....Result found....."GAVIN LI"

Joseph clicks on his information and says, "He is a high-ranking diplomat in Thailand."

Minah says, "How about the Elite Club membership?"

Joseph says, "What is Elite Club membership?"

Minah says, "A black card with silver engraved words, cursive"

Joseph searched for Elite Club membership. Millions of results found. He tells Minah, "This name is too common"

Minah says, "Sarah says, not to pay to The red curtain. Jayden is pimping her. This also means The red curtain involves in the prostitution of actresses"

Joseph says, "Were you involved?"

Minah says, "I remember nothing. I am a very conservative woman. So, I am pretty sure that I told Brandon that we will only have sex after marriage"

Joseph says, "A conservative woman doesn't just walk into a man's room, stalking at them sleeping. You are more like a pervert! Now, go back to Sarah's room to sleep there"

Minah says, "I have just watched extremely disgusting pornography on LIVE! The man seems to sleep in her bedroom. I will prefer to look at you. You are gross, but I can bear with it. He is far from disgusting!"

Joseph chuckled and says, "Fine! I think it's better to keep a low profile for a time being. If this involved in the politicians, it's better to gather more information."

Minah says, "Would you be able to afford to spend on the hotel rooms?"

Joseph chuckled and says, "With this video, it will be company expenses!"

Minah glared at Joseph...shaking her head and asked, "Why don't you use my money? After all, no one will spend on it!"

Joseph says, "You still have family members, don't you want to give them?"

Minah says, "True, I have been following you every day since I die, have not seen my family members yet"

Joseph says, "Why do you follow me? Why? Why? Why?"

Minah says, "Because at my funeral, I see my mother crying a river on the floor, I call her but she could not hear me. You are the only one that I can talk to. I meet a few ghosts, but they are my fans. They talk too much about my private things. Even though it may be the truth, but, I feel rather uncomfortable"

Joseph says, "The ghosts can be helpful too. Why don't you ask them to help with the investigation?"

Minah says, "I will think about it. Anyway, I am someone with 15 million followers on my social media. You should feel honor for me to be following you"

Joseph says, "You must be crazy! That is 15 million stalkers! How can you be proud of it?"

Joseph continues, "The reason why I do not want to take your money is, I have put into consideration that if someone is touching your money, your bank might report this issue to authority. I might be arrested and look as if I am a hacker"

Minah says, "I never thought about that. I am sorry, but that makes sense. Is there any way I can do it?"

Joseph says, "Your parents are most likely able to withdraw the money. You can get them to do it. Unless you can sign on the document to prove that I am your next-of-kin"

Minah says, "My parents are wealthy, they need no more money. I feel bad for you because you have been eating Ramen every night at home"

Joseph says, "I will be fine. I do have saving"

Minah says, "What is our plan next?"

Joseph asked, "We have to investigate this Jayden. Who is he?"

Minah says, "Jayden is someone influential in the entertainment industry. His family is one of the top 10 most wealthy in our country. Jayden, Sarah, Brandon, and I are from the same school. Brandon and Jayden are best friends, unlike us, Jayden failed in many auditions so he could not be an actor even though he is good looking, but he doesn't have talent in acting."
