The 7,000 Club

Ever heard of the 7000 Club over at that university in Talamban? People can’t stop whispering about it in dorms and student cafes, and it’s easy to see why. They’re known for charging a pretty steep 7,000 pesos for sex.

The club’s pretty smart about staying off the radar, too. They’ve got students on the inside, practically running their own security setup. Some members of the club work with a guy in campus security, so certain rooms get “missed” during patrols, making the whole thing feel untouchable.

Rumor had it the club was started by a handful of seniors looking to make quick cash, but it grew fast, attracting attention from those who were willing to pay for more than just an academic experience. What made the 7000 Club unique, though, wasn’t just the transaction—it was the initiation process. Members weren’t just anyone; they were handpicked, carefully vetted, and sworn to secrecy. Some say they even had to pass a strange set of trials to gain full membership.

Among the students who had only heard of it in passing was Flor, a sophomore struggling to make ends meet. Her financial aid barely covered her rent, and her part-time job didn’t stretch far enough for the textbooks and other expenses. She’d heard about the club from a friend, who mentioned it in a half-joking way one evening while they were cramming for finals. But as time went on, the idea planted itself in the back of her mind.

One evening, as Flor was scrolling through her messages and counting her remaining pesos for the month, she received a text from an unknown number. “Need cash? The 7000 Club could use someone like you.” She froze, wondering how they’d gotten her number—or if this was just a prank. But the message continued, detailing a location, a time, and a name: “If you’re interested, meet Joan at the old library’s back entrance, 11 p.m.”

Flor couldn’t shake the sense of dread and curiosity that filled her as she read the text again. She hesitated, her finger hovering over the reply button. A thousand questions raced through her mind. What would it mean to step into the world of prostitution? And, more importantly, what price would she really be paying?

For most university girls, it’s a ticket out of financial trouble or a thrill they can’t find anywhere else—if they’re willing to step into the world of sex.
