-Recruit Me-

He was surprised that there really is a woman standing looking at him.

Jc - "Sorry, do-?"

*Ring*

Emily was about to answer when Jc's phone ring interrupted her. Jc checks the caller's name as he gets up, he was about to swipe left to reject, but he had second thoughts and decided to answer the call.

Jc - "Hmm?" Apathetic as he responds to the other side.

Jc - "Okay..."

*Hang up*

Jc - "Sorry for the wait. Were you asking for directions?"

Emily - "N-no" A bit coarse in her voice while she said those words.

Jc - "Well, okay, I'll be going now" He gave her a shrug as he went by past her.

Emily just stood there staring at the distant Jc walking away when he was out of sight. She covered her mouth with her delicate hands while she broke down in tears.

'I'm sorry.'

#####

Jc - "Can i ask if there's a patient that just got assign here name Alex Park?"

"... For a moment, sir... Yes, he's in the-" The nurse gave a momentarily gaze at Jc because it's rare for a handsome guy with a bad boy look and a piercing on his left ear wearing a school uniform.

Jc - "No, it's alright. I'm just going to pay his medical bills..." Taking out the bag from his back.

"Okay."

"...Give me a minute..."

"..."

He kept fumbling and fumbling all his pockets for some time, but it seems like Sir. wallet is missing. The nurse watches this with disappointment as she thought.

'Fairy tale is just a fairy tale... I thought i would be a witness to a perfect handsome boyfriend material with riches.'

"Ms."

"Yes?" The nurse snapped out of her daydream.

"I was saying if i could make a call for a minute and will be back, i lost my wallet."

"No problem, sir!"

Jc hesitated to dial the number on the phone because he had hung up on this contact a while ago. However, he still pressed the button.

Pat - "So, did you change your mind?"

Jc - "No, but can i borrow some money? I'll pay you back with interest."

Pat - "You!... Don't you feel ashamed after you hung up on me earlier? You run away with my money!"

Jc - "One, you can't eat shame. Two, it was my money after you tricked me into playing with your players. I will send you the address."

Pat - "I haven't-"

*Hangs up.*

"Okay, we need to inhale... Exhale..." Pat mediate in his car for a while and drove off.

#####

"Thank you." Pat thanked the nurse and was about to leave when he heard the nurse asking for his number, but he rejected because he was already 27 years old with a wife and a kid.

When Pat came out of the hospital, he immediately saw Jc waiting in the back seat of his car smoking a cigarette.

Pat - "Did you know that smoking is not allowed in the car?"

Jc - "But i opened the window."

Pat looks, at him and sighed. Opening his car, and gets on.

"Thus, why are you in my car, sir?" Pat said sarcastically.

"Let's stop by at the 'Memorial Park' first."

"Do you know how old i am, mister? I have a job, a wife, and a kid now! I'm at the age where you should call me big brother now!" Pat couldn't endure his small pride any longer.

Jc ignores the cries of Pat, then smoked for the last time as he took out a pocket ashtray putting the used cigarette there before buttoning his uniform up while he stares pat at the front mirror.

Pat didn't expect Jc to be trigger by his words as he swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Even though Pat is much taller, Jc gave off a vibe that can eat a tiger alive.

"W-w-what? You think i-i'm scared! Let's go outside." Opening his door again, about to go outside.

"I'm done, big brother. Let's go." Said Jc in a respectful tone.

"Good! I'll drop you there." Sighing of relief as he quickly starts his engine of his. He didn't know what was going to his head when he challenges Jc to go outside.

Jc grinned at this action.

#####

They stopped at a gate, and there they were stopped by a security guard patrolling. The guard went to the driver's window.

"Sir, we are close now. Come back tomorrow at 5 AM to 5 PM for the visiting hours."

Pat - "What now? Should i drop you here?"

Jc just rolled the window of the back seat, and the guard noticed him saluting.

"So it's you, Jc. But only 30mins, okay?" The guard went back to open the gate.

The car drove and entered the gate.

Pat - "Are you in some sort of gang or something?"

Jc - "No way, big brother, how come you assumed i threaten the man."

Pat - "Then what was that? Your parents rich?"

Jc - "I wouldn't have to call you to pay the bills. You could say he owes something." As he smiles at Pat looking in the front mirror.

Pat - "A-are you gay?" Feeling goosebumps when they met eyes.

Jc - "Haha, stop being a comedian, big brother, and drive."

#####

"You sure you dropped it here? We've been looking for half an hour."

"No"

"..." Pat gave up questioning. He felt like there's a debuff aura surrounding Jc that every minute his IQ drop. As they kept looking, Pat would always gaze at a small tomb next to a tree, then at Jc. He wasn't fond of prying on someone's story, but today is a great day to inquire.

"You have a relative resting here?"

"...."

"Sorry, forget i asked. Let's find it tomorrow, or it might not even be here anymore. It's almost 7 now, my wife is a bit boxer, so I'm on a curfew too."

"My soul... Part of my soul is resting here..." Jc said those words and stopped what he was doing before walking towards Pat.

"I've been thinking about your offer. Is it still available?"
