"My head is so dizzy." The brown-haired man complained while holding his head. He sat with the rest of the group after class.His friend, wearing glasses, sitting next to him, glanced at him. "What are you so dizzy about? It's like you've been thinking." He mocked him.The brown-haired man looked at his sharply, still resting his head on the table. "Shut the fuck up!" He cursed, then closed his eyes again."What the hell were you thinking?" In front of him was a woman turning her seat toward them, so the group formed a circle. "You usually look relaxed, unconcerned about whatever is going on.The brown-haired man got up and suddenly lifted his head, making the colorful-haired woman in her seat startle and spontaneously step back. "Argh... you scared me, damn it!" She cursed while placing his hand where his heart was."What am I supposed to relax again?" He half shouted. "It's already the end of the semester, and I haven't found a potential internship for my internship yet. You think I
"Take this to their floor. There's a photoshoot going on there, and they need it." One of the staff on duty ordered Dakota to deliver the clothes that would be used by one of their talents for promotional purposes.Dakota settled on a black protective suit. He only took a peek at the top and knew it was some kind of suit. "On the seventh floor. Which room?" He asked, making sure because he didn't want to stand there confused, looking for his room. Then the last one came back again to ask.The woman commanding him gave him a bemused look. She did seem to be busy with various matters. "Just go there, and you'll meet one of the crew. I told you that you'd be the one to escort them, and they'll be waiting for you at the door." He explained. "Get there quickly.""Okay." Not saying much, Dakota immediately took him to the seventh floor. He waited in front of the elevator for a while, along with several other people. Then, when the door opened, Dakota was about to enter but was first grabbed
Dakota followed the man-Edmund-who was their manager. This was his second time meeting the man after this morning. The man sat down at his desk and looked at Dakota. He seemed to be looking for something in his drawer, then placed it on the table at Dakota. "Take this document outside. There will be a man waiting by the maple tree. You give it to him directly." Edmund explained as he looked at her.Dakota stared at the document. "Okay." He nodded, taking the brown envelope containing the document. Then, just as Dakota touched the file in his hand, he heard the man's inner voice, which made Dakota look at him."I can't wait for them to receive the paperwork, and then they'll send the money to my account." Dakota noticed the smile on Edmund's face with his focused gaze, looking at the Document in his hand.The man's thoughts piqued Dakota's curiosity. He eyed the file suspiciously and then looked at Edmund with his eyebrows knitted together. "What document am I currently about to delive
"So, how's it going? Is our plan going to be okay?" The man asked Edmund. They were in Edmund's room, and the door was closed.Edmun looked at him seriously. "Yes. It seems so." Edmund looked at him while saying that with conviction. "Only then will we leave this place." The room was silent, with only the sound of their voices talking that made the sudden creaking sound of the door opening made them turn their heads immediately towards Dakota, who seemed to have fallen in front of the slightly open door.They both looked at him in surprise and were stunned for a moment, as well as Dakota. But unlike them, Dakota wasn't amazed. He only pretended to look clumsy. "I'm sorry, manager Edmund, I overheard your conversation." He showed his innocent face.Edmund walked up to him, took his hand, and put his arm on the wall next to the door, staring intently at Dakota. "What are you doing in this place?" He pulled Dakota up and led him to the corner of the room, then turned to the person he had
"Argh damn, just pissed off!" Jake, who couldn't stand it, tried to hit him, but Dakota, who knew the tactic through his ability, quickly dodged his punch by moving in another direction.Dakota snorted with laughter. "Aw, you missed. Too bad." He showed him disappointed face, looking at the man who looked annoyed. "Don't be mad." Dakota coaxes him.Seeing that Edmund was even more upset, he also swung a punch from the other direction strongly. But because Dakota dodged to his side, Edmund's punch met with Jake, who was also trying to hit Dakota quite strongly because he failed in hitting Dakota earlier."Argh, damn you. You bastard!" Edmund, who fell groaning in pain, held his face, which was punched by Jake unintentionally. Both of them did not realize that they hit each other.Likewise, Jake grimaced at Dakota. "This bastard! How dare you hit me? You're looking dead, huh?!" He snapped loudly. His gaze turned sharp and dark while his face turned red.Dakota was flabbergasted. he was
Edmund laughed. "Just two interns." He teased them. "How is that any different from how things were before? You two are both so stupid, you won't make much of an impact." Edmund spoke lightly.Jake, who was quite far away from him, came a bit closer. He was a bit puzzled by how Willy was able to open the door that he had locked earlier, but getting a key was not a difficult matter when Willy and Dakota were cunning and manipulative like them. He also thought that the two boys just wanted to play a trick on them, so he tried to stay calm and not get provoked. "Besides, your apprentices are just little kids who are new to the working world, do you think you can threaten us?" He smiled at the two naive boys in front of him.Both Dakota and Willy knew that the world of work is not a simple thing. There are too many parties that conflict with each other even though they have the same goal, then there are so many dirty games that are carried out for a goal that some of them think is the rig
"So hard to hear from you, Dakota?" Willy spoke into their connected phone, his voice sounding like he was sulking.It had been a few months since their graduation from university and each of them was now busy looking for jobs, pursuing their dreams or aspirations, including Dakota and Willy.Dakota, who was sitting in a cafe, was staring out the window as he listened to Willy. "Well, I have something I'm doing, so I'm a little distracted." He was indeed focused on something at the moment."Ah, about my offer last time, I was wondering why you turned it down?" Willy sounded curious on the other end of the line. "Why did you refuse to work at my mother's company?" Even though everyone hopes to work in a big company with connections, Dakota refuses. "I didn't offer you because I knew you or felt indebted to you because of the many favours you did, like last time. But because I recognized your potential, I felt the company would really need someone like you." Willy explained.Dakota ran
"Ah, so you are a chef." Dakota smiled stiffly. He felt guilty because of her previous thoughts. He shouldn't judge someone based on their appearance alone. Even though he used to be judged by many people just by his appearance, he felt no different from those people.The man who had almost finished his food glanced at Dakota, then raised the food with a small gesture. "Thank you for the food, and sorry for startling you earlier." The man said it sincerely, and Dakota cursed himself for having misjudged the man and carelessly pitied him.Dakota shook his head. "Not a problem."But the man didn't seem to accept. "I have to pay for what you gave me." He insisted.Dakota didn't feel he needed to go that far. "You didn't have to bother, I helped you without much thought." Dakota rejected him.The man got up from where he was sitting and threw the empty food wrapper into the trash can that was a short distance from their seats. "You can't do that. I'm a man of principles. If someone gives
