In a morning of August, a student stood in front of his Tv playing his game peacefully. The boy was born in a family of intelectuals. His name is Ryohei Arisu. A knock on the door of his bedroom couldn't bother him less since he wore his headphones. It was obvious he couldn't hear the knocks on the door. An older boy entered the room and looked over to his brother shaking his head in disappointment,Arisu's older brother,Hajime
"What a shitty brother... so after all I've done for you you're still playing games. Those games will bring you nowhere. And I took some time off my job so I could organise an interview for a job I found just for you and you never attended it. I wish we could reset our lives from zero,but it's impossible." Hajime sighed.
"Who told you to do that? Did I ask you for organising that interview? Well,nope. Then why did you have to do it?" Arisu slapped his brother with his words
"Well, because you're like a parasite in your room always playing games. You're wasting your life. Are you serious ?! Can you be serious at least once in your life?!" Hajime rolled his eyes after hearing his younger brother's words"it was better if our mother was still here with us. If she saw what you're doing,she wouldn't be proud. You do realise she's watching us from up there,do you?" He continued
Arisu stood there in silence since he was at a loss of words " Fine,then I'm leaving ! " the younger boy says while standing up
"I wish we could reset our life from zero,just like we reset those games.." Hajime whispered
Arisu didn't listen to his brother anymore,but he managed to leave the room to meet up with his father.
"Ryohei,you shouldn't get in your brother's way any longer. I don't want Hajime to become like you. I can't even call you my son anymore " his father said in disappointment. All Arisu could do in this situation was just nodding before leaving the house. The boy left the house wearing a blue t-shirt, shorts and a pair of slippers while holding his phone getting prepared to text his friends.
  Text 1:Hey,Karube, is the bar open by any chance? Seems like I'm homeless starting from today on. (But he doesn't get a response)
~Meanwhile~
Karube started "working" earlier at the bar by meeting up with Emi,the wife of his boss . Karube loves Emi deeply so it was obvious he wasn't gonna miss the chance to work earlier for her.
"So glad to see you earlier,Karube . You've been working really hard today!How about a reward? Hm?" Emi teased Karube as she always does.
"Oh? A reward ? For me? You're the only reason why I came earlier " Karube stopped whatever he was doing just so he could come closer to Emi. He pulled her into a kiss
"Karube ,now now Karube , I also want to know about your friends you were always talking to me about ." Emi looked over to Karube with her lovely eyes and smile showing how important he is to her
"Well, I told you all the things that make them special to me. Let's say Arisu is the smartest of our trio but Chota is the kindest one and he's also the most religious one." Karube smiled
"Oh Karube ,if something ever happens,I want to let you know you're the kindest guy I had ever met.. please ,promise me one thing. That you will not let anyone change you. Okay?" Emi smiles at him
"I promise." Karube nodded" I will keep my promise,Emi "
"Well well well,seems like you came by earlier today,didn't you Karube ?" His boss asked him
"I came for something important ." Karube answered.
"Oh sweetie you're here ? " Emi looked quite surprised "Why so early ?" she asked in shock
"Well I have something important to do.."he suddenly punched Karube "why are you hitting on my woman you idiot" he wouldn't stop punching Karube.
"Stop it,please!!" Emi screamed
"Shut up bitch! Shove it woman!!"  Her husband yelled at her and pushed her away with all the power he has. Karube attacked back and knocked him down "Better now! What about a hug ?" Karube smiles opening his arms.
"Hmmmmm..." Emi gave an upset look.
"Emi, I did this to protect you..." Karube sighed,knowing he fucked up and that he got fired. He had no choice but to leave the bar and he finally answers to Arisu .
Karube's text:Hey,sorry for the late answer bro. I just got fired !
Arisus text: I'm in a mood of drinking. Please find a job In another bar!
Karube:It's mostly likely impossible. But I'm also in a mood of drinking something. Let's find open bars nearby ,shall we ? But what about Chota?
~Meanwhile Chota ~
Chota was busy in his class since he works as a teacher for technology and the way of using computers. He didn't have much luck at work and he knew he had to leave earlier because his mother needs money urgently . He leaves the class during a break and finds himself a replacement and then he goes and collects his money. He was a poor boy who lived in a terrible situation. Just him and his mother who sadly left them both on their own.
After collecting the money his mother asked for.
"Mom,please make this the last time you beg me for money!" Chota sighed in frustration
" Aww thank you Chota !And what do you mean last time? It's impossible. I also wanted to apologise for making you leave earlier daily ." His mother said.
"It's okay mother" he answered "But please I want this to be the last time you ask me for money "
"How can you say such things? Do you see how dirty this world is? It's needs to be purified,purified,purified ! " his mother annoyed the hell out of her own son
"Understood,now that's enough,I'm leaving "Chota decided to leave her alone after she embarrassed him in public
"Thank you!" She said before he turned his back at her.
