"Student, I'll leave this store to you first. I know you won't be able to make a fool of yourself at work, even if you're short of money. Also based on the resume you gave, you know how to do such things and I think you really know how to do it—you know how to maneuver a laundry machine and the vending machine outside," said a man in his early 30's to Jacob.
The man was wearing shorts and a simple sweatshirt with a bag slung over his shoulder. Noone would think that the man owned that little laundromat business.
"You can count on me here, Sir," said Jacob but his other accent in speaking the Korean language is noticeable.
"Wait a minute. I don't think I've seen you speak Korean for a long time, even when I interviewed you for this job, you didn't speak much. Are you not korean?" astonished question of the owner of the Laundromat to Jacob.
"All right Sir Kevin, I will proceed to my work," said Jacob and just smiled at his boss.
The man, Kevin just scratching his neck because Jacob was obviously avoiding the question he was throwing at him. Kevin just noticed that his employee was not behaving normally, it wasn't a bad thing to be weird. Just noticeable for him because of its different approach or response to things. You will notice it for a young man to deal with others and but still can give respect according to the people he was with. He thinks this employee has a high standard of living, but he just doesn't want to tell him.
As he leaves the store, Jacob was left alone inside the laundromat stall.
He grinned and examined the reflection in the mirror.
"So... you were still alive, Student... I never thought I would see you again. This is our third meeting—if I am not mistaken, Jacob. Don't worry, I'll just borrow your body for a while. Promise, this body of yours is in good hands when I'm here," Jacob said in his reflection in the mirror and pretended to pat his head in the reflection.
Before he left in front of the mirror, you could see how he grinned while holding tiny squid in his hands.
"Let's test our squib, Jacob," he said before putting a piece of squib back in his own pocket.
Jacob headed to the storage room to retrieve the coin containers and opener of the laundromat machines. He even starts singing a song as he collected the money earned—in the washing machine—from those who did the laundry in their laundromat today. You could see the twinkle in his eyes as he touched the money can he had accumulated today. Surely, tomorrow this laundromat will have a new direction, especially since it is very in-demand among the rich and lazy people don't do laundry at home. He again collected the remaining money from the dryer machine and was shocked that more had accumulated there.
He is excited to finish his work and can't wait for the next thing he wants to do, when the work is done.
Jacob took a deep breath before exiting the laundromat stall and heading to the drink vending machine outside the stall. He checked to see if there were people around before opening the vending machine and collecting the coin. It is also dangerous, because someone may suddenly steal his collections.
He once again glanced at those around him and then pulled out of his pocket the few squibs that he had in his pocket earlier. He placed two squibs inside the coin bank and also two under the vending machine itself. The squib is connected by a small wire with a small switch. The small switch is placed inside the coin box and when the coins reach this switch it will explode. It was exactly the time to accomplish what he wanted to do.
Before he could go back inside he turned to look at his masterpiece again. "Don't let me down babe. Let those suckers sink into their minds the crimes they do," he said and then entered the store.
He saved more than $ 7,000 today. Kevin is sure to be happy because his business is re-emerging from their bankruptcy two years ago. He should be very grateful to Liam Wilson for reviving his business. But it's weird that Liam is not longer to be seen here—especially, now that Kevin is enjoying it. He just disappeared like a bubble but now Jacob is here to unravel the past hidden by the boss, Kevin.
Jacob adjusted himself before looking in the mirror again. "Jacob, remember. This body will serve as my home and my instrument to give justice to those who are being abused by others. Remember my name. I am Timothy Kesh, your former servant," he said in reflection in the mirror before fainting.

Jacob woke up on a dark and cold floor. The place was unfamiliar to him and he also could not find his phone. He found himself inside a storage room in a laundroat stall. He wondered why he was stranded inside an authorized area of that Laundromat Area
He also looked around to see if there was a working clock but he saw nothing. He just decided to go out of the stall.
His stomach is already grumbling because of hunger and it seems like he has not eaten yet since earlier. He didn't think that he might be drunk because he didn't smell any alcohol on his clothes but in fact it smelled more like soap more than alcohol.
Jacob dug in his pocket and saw a bill. He think it's a right timong to think there is also a vending machine outside the stall. He bought drinks before deciding to take a cab and just asked the cab driver yo send him home. It turned out that the place he wake up from was actually far away from seoul because the Laundromat Business was in Incheon.
