VOL 2: THE CITY chapter 7

'WELCOME TO THE CITY OF KAEST'

It's written that they have arrived at their destination. Who knows that the rest of the journey doesn't take that much because of the speed Daniel drove just now.

The city really looks like what people said. It looks more luxurious, advanced and technological than their home. The place is really full and crowded with people either they are just going back home from their work, some students are still hanging out with their friends and there's people just walking. It is different from where both of them are from.

"So this is the city, huh?"

"Hyung, where are we going to stay by the way? Is it gonna be like the hotel we stayed in before?" asked Jay, still looking at the buildings outside. "Basically we are here without that many plans, so I don't have any idea where we are going to stay tonight, but don't worry I have my money to get us a room. You just have to look where you want to stay." said Daniel.

Daniel was actually from a rich family until he ignored all of that after his family died in an accident, so he stayed alone and kept his money for his future without using it that much. He thinks living like an ordinary person is good enough for him. That time he only knows Steven and he is the one that can give comfort to Daniel. Not knowing that he's gonna have more friends after that. Now, he doesn't care if people ask about his family. He became more positive and open minded.

"Hyung, do you think that place is good enough? It's not written or showing a hotel but it has 'homestay' written on it and it looks quite interesting. Looks like what we look for when we in the club"

The homestay with its mesmerizing decoration, it is like a scientist's center or a place they have seen while researching the realm of magic.

Seeing it as an interesting place, Daniel stops his car in front of the homestay.

..........

As they enter the homestay, it reminds them back how they discuss the magical things that happen in this world and now they are here. They still do not believe what they see with their eyes.

"Hey you magicians! What do you want here, I haven't seen you both before!" Jay and Daniel look at each other's faces and smile. "Sorry sir, we are not magicians" said Jay.

"Then who are you?" the man asked again

"I am Daniel and here is my brother, Jay. We just arrived here, the city just now and we have nowhere to stay. We saw this homestay and here we are" answered Daniel. After the man got the answer, he immediately asked them to wait while he went somewhere for a while.

"Hyung, isn't this what we dreamt before. You said it could be some magical place that we can't have at our place. We are likely to experience it here!"

Daniel upon seeing Jay's excitement, he smiles widely. "We still don't know if we can stay here and what this place actually is, so keep your excitement first kid. We need to wait for that man first." Jay then answered it with a grin. To be honest it is 90% how Daniel describes them before. He said that it will be a place like this where magicians will collect some magic liquids, potions and have it experiment to do powerful magics and that's what the homestay looks like. There's some bottle that is floating and a collection of magic spells are on the table but both of them are too scared to close by it.

20 minutes passed and Jay started to feel doubt.

"Do you think we're being scammed right now? Maybe he runs away and some police will come by saying we are doing illegal things". Daniel at first was going to believe it but he tried to keep positive, "I don't think so Jay, he must have some important things to do. If you believe he is a magician, just think that he must be preparing something for you. It doesn't hurt to expect something other than you thinking some negative things. Just keep waiting."

Right after Daniel's supportive words toward Jay, someone comes out of the door.

"Hey, do you see the owner?"

Daniel, confused, doesn't know how to answer it. Then there's Jay,

"He asked us to wait here while he getting something and it have been 20 minutes"

The guy then nodded his head, "Is that so, then I need to come back though. Thank you, have a nice day" and with that the guy left the place leaving the two guys that didn't know how much time they needed to wait. Jay was about to give up and complain again when another guy came out of the door like before but this time it's a different person.

"Oh hey you guys, do you see the man, I mean the owner?"

Nah, same question again and the answer is the same as before. The guy nods and they expect the guys to leave like the guy before but to be greeted with another two guys.

"He is not here?" the new guy asked. "No, he is here but he has something to do, so both of them have to wait until he is done". The other new guy looked at both Daniel and Jay, he then showed his wide smile and said, "Do you guys need any place to stay by the way, you guys looks like not people from here". Curiosity hits Jay when he thinks about how this guy knows they are not from the city.

"Hi, nice to meet you. I am Daniel and my brother, Jay. Yes we are not from the city but we are from the place called Olympia. We just arrived here like an hour ago and saw this place to stay but guess we waited too long" Daniel chuckled. "You say Olympia? I am Matthew and this guy" he shows the guy that greeted them before, "He is Joshua while this one is Sebastian." Sebastian is the one who asks Matthew if the owner is here yet. His appearance looks fierce and scary yet when he smiles he is just a warm person.

"Sorry guys, he must be that busy and cannot be disturb when you guys come here. So instead of it you guys can book a room with me. I know the owner so it's okay." Sebastian voices out.

"You can?" Jay asked. "Of course! We helped that man when he was too busy to handle his customer. So we know about this place too. Now, would you like a room for each or sharing?" Matthew asked back. "Just sharing, we are okay with that."

"Okay here you are. The room is located at the end of this floor and have a nice day." said Joshua while passing the key room to Jay. "And by the way Daniel, the owner named Justin, don't believe whoever said they are the owner without this name" Sebastian reminded them.

Daniel nodded, "Okay, thank you very much."
