Chapter 91 Locked Gaze

Chapter 91 Locked Gaze

AYUMI POV

"Sun-seng-nim," I muttered softly to myself as I settled into my bed, cradling the new phone he had bought for me. I was sad that our date got disrupted, but at the same time, I felt glad because he had stood up for me. At first, I was worried that he might think differently of me after someone called me a slut, but it made me really happy to see him defend me. Knock Knock Knock

"It's open," I called out .

The door swung open, and there stood my big sister. She resembled me in many ways, but her defining features were her long, ponytailed hair and her longer legs, standing at around 5'7.

I was taken aback to see her here, especially since she usually works around this time. "Big sis, what are you doing home ?" I asked .

"Can't I come home?" She raised her eyebrows, seemingly offended by my words.

"No, of course, you can," I quickly reassured her. "It's just that I'm not used to you being here at this late hour."

"Ayumi, I'm not done with you yet. You better have a good explanation when I come back," my sister scolded me before hurriedly walking away. —

"These kids are really something," I muttered to myself as I followed them towards a bar located on the 4th floor of a building. The bar was surprisingly spacious, with ten pool tables, ten dartboards, and even some retro video game machines. It seemed like the perfect hangout spot for party-goers .

As expected, they started playing and drinking alcohol, their behavior far from what you'd expect from typical high schoolers. The girls seemed carefree in their drinking, while the guys appeared to be plotting something sinister behind the scenes. 'What a bunch of morons,' I thought to myself, watching them try to use alcohol to make advances on the girls. I came here to teach these jerks a lesson for insulting Ayumi. Why was I being so petty? Well, it seemed like the system heard my frustration and gave me a mission. There was no penalty, but if I could make them beg for mercy, I would earn 500 XP as a bonus .

"Alright, time to begin the show," I said to myself as I stood up from my chair. My plan was to flirt with the girls and taunt the guys to make a commotion . "Boss, please don't jump!" A voice suddenly rang out, instantly capturing everyone's attention, including mine. I turned towards the source of the voice and saw bar employees desperately trying to prevent a woman in a black dress from jumping. "Should I help?" I muttered to myself, contemplating if I should try to intervene. I could use my skills to convince her not to jump. While I wasn't entirely certain it would work, she was already attempting suicide, so there was little harm in trying, even if I failed. My mind raced as I contemplated my options. I had thought I had some time to spare, but before I knew it, everyone gasped in horror as the woman turned around and jumped from the building. *CRASH!

The horrifying sound of a body crashing into a car echoed through the street. Despite being on the 4th floor, the impact was unmistakable, and I could hear it all too clearly. Shit, I need to get out of here before they start questioning witnesses. Forget about the mission. I couldn't afford to get caught up in this mess.

I quickly turned around and dashed towards the exit. Fortunately, most of the people present had the same idea as me, so my escape didn't draw too much attention. *BUMP!

"Hey, watch where you're going!" I berated after colliding with someone who felt like a solid wall. As I looked up in a rush, my eyes locked onto someone I had seen before. How could I forget that face? It was the same weird guy from the train who had asked for my seat.
