Chapter 1 - chapter 1:Who exactly is the person I saved?

I am in the city of Tys, here I live as a homeless person living on the streets.

Do you think that's fun?

Maybe it's fun, because I don't have to work and I'm pretty free, but it's not fun when I have to go through the trash just to find food.

Young people always think about not going to school, but I realized one thing when I grew up: that I wanted to go back to that childhood again.

I am right under the bridge that connects the areanis district and the mynis district which is separated by the sea.

Almost every day I see people walking on the sea on their ski boats, smiling happily. This is very different from me, every day I can only be depressed and cry about my fate like this.

Even so, I never gave up on living and trying, when I got a paid offer - even though it was quite troublesome, I still did it for the promised payment.

One day a person in a black suit like a clerk wearing sunglasses came up to me,I was quite cautious because they were dressed like someone who was ready to kill me at any moment.

Two men approached me, one with brown skin and one with black skin.

I thought I was going to be arrested or killed after the man put his hand inside the black jacket, one of them seemed to be reaching for something inside their jacket.

My heart was beating fast when they took something out of their jackets, I thought they were going to take out a weapon to kill me right then.

I closed my eyes in resignation, thinking that I would be killed and prepared myself right then, but a few seconds passed and nothing happened, let alone the sound of gunshots.

The voice of one of the people in the black jacket sounded in my ears, I slowly opened my eyelids, and cautiously looked at them both.

""Sir, do you know the person in this picture?" one of them said calmly.

I, who was still confused, couldn't answer and looked at the two people for a long time.

I was only able to answer nervously after they repeated it again.

""Sir, do you know the person in this picture?"

"I-I don't know who the person in the picture is," my voice sounded like a scared child facing an adult.

Their faces turned wrinkled when I answered their question earlier, and they then immediately left my place.

I, still confused, couldn't say anything, I just continued my journey to look for food in my usual place: the trash can.

The days continue to pass, but I still can't forget what happened that day, I still wonder who the person behind it really is."Could he be someone important? Or could he be the son of a rich man?" I thought to myself.

As I was pushing my garbage cart in an alley behind the building, I saw two people dressed the same as that day running in another alley.

They seemed to be in a hurry, as if they were chasing someone.

I, who was wondering, chased after them, leaving my garbage cart behind for a moment.

When I was in the alley they were walking through, I saw the two people still there running, in front of them was a boy wearing a school bag - but the bag felt big enough for a school boy.

I followed them slowly from a safe distance, they continued running as if they weren't tired.

I,who was almost out of breath, stopped for a moment to catch my breath.

"Aren't they human? Don't the three of them feel tired?" I asked, stumbling.

After feeling like I had enough to catch my breath, I continued following them from behind.

But I lost track, so I tried to search all the alleys around.

At that moment I realized that I had lost track of them, and was about to give up. But suddenly someone's voice was heard "help!" The voice sounded like a boy screaming.

Although the voice echoed along the passageway, I couldn't be sure where the voice came from. After searching for a long time, the source of the voice became clearer in the ears.

I was surprised to find where the source of the sound was coming from: a trash can.

I approached slowly and carefully towards the two-door green trash can, the stench stung my nose, but I was used to smelling it.

I then slowly opened one of the garbage can doors, and inside there was a lot of black plastic.

Even though the sound was quite loud when I found this trash can, now not a single sound can be heard in my ears.

Just the noise of black plastic garbage bags sliding against each other.

When I lifted some black plastic, I saw one black plastic moving as if there was something alive in it.

My heart beat fast as I brought my hand closer to the moving black plastic.

I then tried to pull the black plastic out of the trash can, but it was impossible with one hand because it was so heavy that I couldn't lift it out, so I tried with two hands, but it still Only heavy.

After many attempts, I finally managed to pull the black plastic out of the trash can.

I sat down for a moment to catch my breath after trying many times to remove the black plastic from the trash can.

Using a blunt knife that I found in the trash, I tried to cut the black plastic.

However, I was a bit troubled because the black plastic kept moving, then suddenly there was no more movement from the black plastic.

Without pausing, I continued cutting the black plastic.

When the black plastic was successfully opened, I was shocked to death because I saw a girl tied up by her hands and feet, and her mouth covered with a tissue tied to the back of her head.

The girl's eyes looked at me sharply as if she saw an enemy in front of her, the one who was still confused and petrified earlier.

Stepping back slowly, but suddenly the girl spoke, her voice was unclear because her mouth was covered.

But I walked towards him when I saw tears running down his cheeks.

I untied the knot in his mouth first so that her could speak and explain why he was the way her was now, and also so that he wouldn't suddenly rebel if I untied everything Ropes tied around his hands and feet.

Her made a high-pitched noise when I had just untied the knot in his mouth.

"Who are you? Are you one of them? And why did you save me?" The girl asked so many questions, it made my head hurt just thinking about it.

Her then added""Are you doing this just because you want money?"

I, who still didn't understand what the girl was trying to convey, could only remain silent and ponder confusedly over every word the girl said.

"Huh? That person? Want money?" Confused and wondering in my heart

I was sad when I saw the girl who spoke loudly earlier, tears streaming down her cheeks while her face wrinkled like an angry person.

Her shows courage and weakness at the same time.

I put aside my confusion, and approached the girl, "Oh, sister, is there anything I can help you with? I'm not a bad person. I came here because I heard you asking for help,Just now"

Convince me to go to her.

The girl raised her face, her eyes were full of tears looking at me, I couldn't take it anymore.

So I untied the ropes around the girl's hands and feet.

I then offered one of my hands to the girl, I really hoped that she would take my hand.

I let out a sigh of relief when she held my hand, her soft skin touching my hard skin.

Slowly we left the trash can, heading to the garbage cart that I had left earlier.

Without me realizing it, someone wearing a black jacket returned to the trash can.

They rummaged through the trash can, as if looking for something.

""What's missing? How could it be missing?" shouted one of them who was dressed similarly.

He then took out his cell phone from his pants pocket.

"Hello boss, we lost him here, how are you, boss?"

"What!" A loud voice came from the phone's speaker. "How could it be lost?"

""I don't know boss, my men have made sure he's tied up hand and foot, we've even covered his mouth so he can't speak"

The man in the black jacket replied.

""Search until you find him, otherwise we'll be the ones to lose," Before the phone was hung up, the man in the black jacket replied, "Okay, boss."

In a room, an old man with white hair wearing a white shirt and sunglasses, sitting on a chair facing the door, smoking a cigarette while looking out the window. "You don't "Will miss the boy"
