A Joke

After work, Seo gave the money to Yanai and drove him to a where the money can be sent to his mother. The two didn't talk much but Seo has been grinning almost all this time. Thinking about how lucky he is to buy a toy for only two million.

About the details of why Seo doesn't have a driver is because he has a thing called "trust issues"

While driving back, an old woman pretended to be hit by them.

Yanai gasped, for an innocent guy like him, he saw it as his boss was in the wrong and of course he wouldn't say that, he'll probably just take it to his grave, regardless, he's just a slave and his boss is his benefactor and his master.

Seo opened the door and said "Don't leave this car", he exited the car and helped the old lady get up, then a guy who claimed himself as the old woman's son walk towards them with a camera and started saying.

" Fucker!! You hit my mother! I'll call the police! I'll let you rot in jail!" He shouted loudly that they caught the attention of the passersby.

" You broke my mother's leg! You better pay for my mother's hospitalization plus fees for my mother's medicaments!!! Pay us a million!!" The man grabbed the old woman's wrist and pulled her violently.

Seo just looked at them apathetically.

" Hurry up! Pay up already!!(he pretended dialing a cop) Give us the money!" the man said and extends his hands for Seo to where he should put the money.

"Are you telling me to give her money for the hospital bills or are you robbing? If you're trying to scum someone make sure that your acting skills and dialogues fits the scene (the way you ask for money is stupid!). Also, since you can't click the call I called the police for you" Seo said coldly as he look at them in the eyes that's literally killing them.

The sound of the police coming made the old woman and his claimed son flinch and ran, surely the way the granny ran proves that she doesn't have any injury or broken bone.

Seo clicked the stop on his recorder and the sound of the police stopped;it was him!. "Hmph" he laughed in his nose and clear his throat before going back to his car where Yanai is waiting patiently.

"W-why did they ran away?" Asked Yanai, he was eager to ask because he doesn't get what happened in the scene. It's not that he's stupid enough to not understand what happened, it's just that he's too innocent to understand what scumming is.

"They were chased by an invisible dog" Seo answered jokingly while snickering, currently in a good mood.

"Eh?" asked Yanai that pissed Seo, Seo smacked Yanai in his head because of that.

Yanai didn't say a thing, his eyes became watery then a sudden buzz on his phone stopped him from crying. It was a live video of her mother's freedom.

On the live video, The door was opened, they were in their house in Kyoto!. After the door opened, her mother rushed towards a store, a store exterior but casino interior, she didn't look at the street light, it was red!!! A fast truck hit her and her blood sprayed all over the road!. She wasn't running because she's scared, she was so excited to play another gambling game, she missed it.

[Fuck!! she died Puhahaha]

[She'll be isekaid hahaha]

[Well, we don't have anything to do with what just happened to her]

[Ah, but since we're already paid, we'll be in charge for her proper funeral]

[And for her son who's watching right now, we don't have a thing to do about her running suddenly and the truck isn't ours so if you try to report it to the police, we couldn't care any less] said the guy in full black on the video.

Yanai bit his lower lip until it bled and clenched his fist like he's about to punch somebody, he cried quietly to not disturb and to not get noticed by Seo. He was devastated and a lot more down than usual, but then, a sudden thought struck in his mind. He wanted to apologize.

' My deceased father in heaven, I sincerely apologize about my actions, you told me to treat mother like a Princess or a Queen but I let her die, you must be very disappointed in me for my carelessness and selfishness. I don't know where the two of you are now but I hope I go to heaven to see the both of you once again. I pray to the almighty God that the both of you are together again and forever' . . .

The feeling he felt right now can be described as world's end, it's like a colorful flowers turning black as it wither and rot, a world without color and a quiet black-and-white town.

It's empty, an endless void, an abyss. . .

. . .

They've arrived in the company, Seo forgot about a small pile of documents so they came back. It was already six in the evening, Yanai got off the car and bowed to say goodbye then turn around to leave.

"Oi, who gave you the permission to leave?" asked Seo as he try to look at Yanai in the eye but Yanai remained bowing to hide his face that he think is unsightly for his boss.

" I-I'm sorry" Yanai apologized while hiding his eyes with his bangs.

"The heck? Are you crying again?" asked Seo who already knew.

Yanai didn't answer which made Seo mad again. He slapped Yanai's cheek real hard and said " Get in the car!"

Yanai don't have a choice but to do as he was told, since he doesn't have any reason to live anymore he's just nothing but an empty doll.
