Chapter​ ​1:​ ​Substitute​ ​Work 

 

The​ ​bright​ ​first​ ​day​ ​of​ ​the​ ​fourth-year​ ​students​'​ ​semester.​ ​Today,​ ​Ken​ ​came​ ​earlier​ ​than​ ​usual​ ​because​ ​he​ ​wanted​ ​to​ ​see​ ​someone​ ​he​ ​hadn​'​t​ ​seen​ ​for​ ​a​ ​long​ ​time​ ​during​ ​the​ ​summer​ ​break.​ ​Yes...​ ​he​ ​was​ ​in​ ​love​ ​with​ ​a​ ​classmate​ ​named​ ​"​Pai.​" 

"​Heh​ ​heh,​ ​Sam,​ ​why​ ​are​ ​you​ ​making​ ​that​ ​face​ ​on​ ​the​ ​first​ ​day​ ​of​ ​school?​" 

"​You​'​re​ ​rich,​ ​you​ ​wouldn​'​t​ ​understand,​ ​Ken.​" 

"​Hey,​ ​what​'​s​ ​up?​ ​Just​ ​talk​ ​it​ ​out,​ ​we​'​re​ ​friends​ ​after​ ​all.​" 

"​If​ ​I​ ​tell​ ​you,​ ​will​ ​you​ ​be​ ​able​ ​to​ ​help​ ​me?​"​ ​The​ ​Sam​ ​was​ ​starting​ ​to​ ​get​ ​annoyed.​ ​This​ ​time,​ ​Ken​ ​didn​'​t​ ​dare​ ​to​ ​be​ ​cheeky​ ​again.​ ​He​ ​turned​ ​to​ ​talk​ ​to​ ​his​ ​best​ ​friend​ ​seriously. 

"​Go​ ​ahead,​ ​tell​ ​me.​ ​I​'​ll​ ​help​ ​if​ ​I​ ​can,​ ​except​ ​for​ ​money.​ ​My​ ​mom​ ​cut​ ​my​ ​allowance​ ​lately.​" 

"​I​ ​know...​ ​I​ ​won​'​t​ ​borrow​ ​money​ ​from​ ​friends​ ​and​ ​ruin​ ​our​ ​friendship.​ ​I​'​m​ ​stressed​ ​about​ ​my​ ​part-time​ ​job,​ ​damn​ ​it​!​" 

Oh?​ ​So​ ​what?​ ​So​ ​they​'​re​ ​going​ ​to​ ​fire​ ​you​ ​because​ ​you​ ​didn​'​t​ ​do​ ​well? 

"​My​ ​mother​ ​is​ ​sick,​ ​I​ ​have​ ​to​ ​go​ ​back​ ​and​ ​take​ ​care​ ​of​ ​her,​ ​but​ ​if​ ​I​ ​miss​ ​work,​ ​I​'​ll​ ​lose​ ​two​ ​days​'​ ​wages.​" 

Hey​!​!​!​ ​So,​ ​what​ ​I​ ​did​ ​two​ ​days​ ​ago​ ​was​ ​for​ ​free? 

"​Uh...​ ​that​'​s​ ​why​ ​I​'​m​ ​stressed.​" 

Okay,​ ​okay,​ ​how​ ​about​ ​this?​ ​I​'​ll​ ​go​ ​help​ ​you​ ​with​ ​the​ ​work​ ​myself. 

"​Is​ ​that​ ​okay?​"​ ​"​Can​ ​you​ ​do​ ​massage,​ ​you​ ​idiot?​" 

"​I​ ​can​ ​watch​ ​a​ ​quick​ ​video​ ​online​ ​and​ ​do​ ​this​ ​kind​ ​of​ ​thing​ ​in​ ​no​ ​time,​ ​you​ ​damn​ ​bastard,​ ​you​'​re​ ​looking​ ​down​ ​on​ ​me​!​"​ ​Ken​ ​laughed​ ​merrily,​ ​but​ ​Sam​ ​was​ ​not​ ​at​ ​all​ ​like​ ​that.​ ​He​ ​still​ ​looked​ ​as​ ​stressed​ ​as​ ​ever. 

"​That​'​s​ ​not​ ​it,​ ​you​ ​idiot​!​ ​Come​ ​closer​!​" 

The​ ​Sam​ ​whispered​ ​softly​ ​to​ ​his​ ​dear​ ​friend​ ​Ken,​ ​but​ ​when​ ​the​ ​sentence​ ​ended,​ ​Ken​ ​shouted​ ​out​ ​loud​ ​in​ ​surprise,​ ​causing​ ​the​ ​other​ ​students​ ​in​ ​the​ ​classroom​ ​to​ ​turn​ ​and​ ​look​ ​at​ ​him. 

"​And​ ​Winnie​ ​didn​'​t​ ​get​ ​mad​ ​at​ ​you?​"​ ​Just​ ​keep​ ​serving​ ​women​ ​like​ ​that. 

"​No,​ ​She​’​s​ ​understands.​" 

The​ ​Sam​ ​refers​ ​to​ ​his​ ​girlfriend,​ ​Winnie,​ ​with​ ​whom​ ​he​'​s​ ​been​ ​intimate,​ ​although​ ​not​ ​often​ ​because​ ​the​ ​Sam​ ​needs​ ​to​ ​conserve​ ​energy​ ​to​ ​serve​ ​the​ ​girls​ ​every​ ​evening​ ​when​ ​he​ ​works​ ​part-time.​ ​But​ ​the​ ​problem​ ​isn​'​t​ ​there...​ ​the​ ​big​ ​problem​ ​now​ ​is​ ​that​ ​Ken​ ​is​ ​acting​ ​like​ ​he​ ​doesn​'​t​ ​want​ ​to​ ​help​ ​anymore. 

"​You​ ​said​ ​you​ ​were​ ​going​ ​to​ ​help,​ ​but​ ​aren​'​t​ ​you​ ​going​ ​to​ ​show​ ​some​ ​consideration​ ​for​ ​your​ ​girlfriend​'​s​ ​seedlings?​"​ ​The​ ​Sam​ ​asked​ ​back,​ ​but​ ​Ken​ ​just​ ​kept​ ​a​ ​straight​ ​face. 

"​Me​ ​and​ ​Ton-on​ ​are​ ​just​ ​talking,​ ​okay?​ ​Even​ ​though​ ​it​'​s​ ​been​ ​three​ ​years,​ ​we​'​ve​ ​never​ ​done​ ​anything.​ ​You​ ​don​'​t​ ​have​ ​to​ ​worry​ ​about​ ​her​ ​being​ ​jealous​ ​of​ ​me.​" 

"​Ugh...​ ​not​ ​being​ ​jealous​ ​is​ ​one​ ​thing,​ ​but​ ​wouldn​'​t​ ​other​ ​women​ ​be​ ​upset​ ​if​ ​they​ ​knew​ ​you​ ​were​ ​massaging​ ​and​ ​have​ ​sex​ ​with​ ​other​ ​women?​" 

"​It​'​s​ ​just​ ​a​ ​massage...​ ​You​ ​said​ ​yourself​ ​you​ ​didn​'​t​ ​need​ ​that​ ​level​ ​of​ ​service.​" 

Okay,​ ​let​'​s​ ​go​ ​with​ ​this,​ ​starting​ ​today​! 

"​What...​ ​so​ ​sudden?​" 

Ken​ ​was​ ​quite​ ​surprised​ ​to​ ​suddenly​ ​have​ ​to​ ​work​ ​in​ ​place​ ​of​ ​Sue,​ ​especially​ ​since​ ​they​ ​looked​ ​so​ ​similar​ ​that​ ​the​ ​shop​ ​owner​ ​wouldn​'​t​ ​be​ ​able​ ​to​ ​tell​ ​the​ ​difference. 

...he​ ​easily​ ​infiltrated​ ​the​ ​Sam​'​s​ ​work...
