Chapter 1
[Why am I so miserable]
Yu Han
"...he just need some rest, he'll be fine in some days. I'll prescribe you some medicines."
"Okay thankyou doctor to visit at late night..."
I opened my eye lids in half and heard this conversation. I start noticing my surrounding, I'm lying on big , soft and comfy bed with a white blanket over my body. I saw two men talking to each other probably about me. One of them is wearing a doctor's coat and the other have a big, large muscular body with broad back, his height is larger than me even though I'm 170 cm, he still looking like a giant... wearing a black shirt and gray pants.. his short black hair is like wings of raven, dark and mysterious.
He turned around after seeing off the doctor out of the room and start walking towards me. I startled when i saw him walking but at the same time i submerged in his face which is bright as moon, his eyes were intensely focused, with a sharp, angular shape that seemed to bore into my soul. His lips were thin pressed together, giving me a determined look. His face is so masculine with sharp jawline.
I'm still focused on his face and then the silence broke.
"How are you feeling now?" A deep ocean like voice asked me.
I came into my senses after hearing this.
"I'm fine. Where am I?" I asked him.
This man gave me a look and said in cold voice.
"This is not important to tell you. The important thing is that you tell me, did you send the info to Shu wang or not?"
When I heard this, I recollect the fragments of my memories.
[Three days ago]
"Hey, Yu Han..are you coming with me to eat dumplings at night??" A smooth and velvety voice asked me.
"Ughh..no, I have to go on my part time job for my night shift. We'll go there some other day."
Zi yang become sad after hearing this, but i assured him that we'll definitely spend some time together doing his favourite things.
Zi yang is my best friend. He and his family was always there for me after my parents death. I live with him in his house. His parents brought me up like there own son. We studies in same college with same department, our major is Cultural arts.
This is already 7 PM, and I have to go on my night shift at a convenience store. This store is not in the main road, so there is always few people who come to buy things.
I'm on the way to the store, this is a moonless night seemed to swallow the road whole in darkness.. I'm still walking towards my destination with malevolent emotions in my heart. I don't know why I'm feeling this low right now may be because of darkness. Finally, the road of darkness comes to end and I push the Store's door where a man who saw me and start taking off his store's uniform and said,
"You came late Yu Han, you know na today is my date, I have to be on time." He said this and walked out of the store in hurry, he didn't even heard me saying sorry.
I went in staff room, put on my uniform and started my shift. I sat on cashier's chair doing my homework. It's already 10 PM, there are very few customers at this time. I start feeling hungry, I brought some snacks from drawer and start eating them. Time is passing like sand from hand.
I notice the time, it's half past twelve, hence, it's midnight means there is no more customers. I relaxed a little, put on my ear plugs and start listening to music.
~Let's go
With my freshly brewed milk coffee
And the long-lost sunshine of early summer~
Bang!!!!
I startled hearing this loud bang on the door and immediately stood up. There is a man entering the store who is trembling like crazy and panting heavily. He saw me and paced towards me.
"P..Pl..Please gg..ive me a pen quickly.." he asked me with a trembling voice while taking out a paper from his side pocket of pant.
I gave him a confused look and gave him want he wanted. He wrote something and fold the paper.
I'm standing in front him, then suddenly a high pitched, ear piercing sound that builds in intensity filled the quiet store.
I don't know how to react, I'm not in my senses, my body froze for a moment. The Person in front of me fell on the ground with a thud sound. His head is started bleeding profusely. His blood stained my whole uniform.
My whole body starting trembling. I am feeling dizzy and my body no longer supported me,
Thud!!! I fell on ground feeling unconscious.
With half open eyelids, I saw a man with large black leather coat and black shoes entered the store. I saw this figure and zoned out, everything went black in my eyes.
"Am I dead?? What just happened?? Is that just a dream?? Am I dreaming??"
Lots of question popped up in my mind even in unconscious state.
At hospital,
I wake with strong smell of medicine from surrounding. I examined the surrounding from my blurry vision, there are lot of patients lying beside me, I'm in a general ward of a hospital. A nurse saw me opening my eyes and said,
"How are you feeling right now Mr.? Can you tell me your name, i want it to register in our patient's record. If you are feeling well, please give us your contact details, we will contact your relatives."
I don't remember anything from last night, I asked her in confusion,
"Why am I here?? What happened to me?? Who took me here??"
"Sir last night a man admitted you in here. You were unconscious and your clothes also stained in blood."
When I heard the word 'BLOOD' , the memories of last night flashed in front of me. My heart started beating uncontrollably, my body started trembling and my face turned pale.
The nurse saw my condition and started consoling me,
"Sir don't worry, doctor said you are fine. And your medical bills were already paid "
She doesn't know what made me shivering.
I gathered my courage and request her not to call anyone. I have to leave!!
