The girl, who was now covered in food, stood there surprised for a second before she glared at him with a piercing and cold glare. She maintained a calm countenance, which made her look even more frightening. She slowly pulled the paste from her hair and remained expressionless.
"This dress is 10 million won. You've ruined it so, pay up right now."
Bin, startled and not knowing what to do or say, quickly stood up and apologetically his head. The girl looked rich and her tone clearly indicated that she was very angry.
"Esteemed customer, please calm down, It was an accident. Please forgive me."
Even after hearing his apology, her expression remaind as cold as ever. She snorted and spoke again,
"I don't care if it's an accident or not. Pay up right now and bring me your manager."
'This is real mess! How am I going to get 10 million won?'
Bin scratched his head, feeling lost and confused. The girl remained stubborn and even demanded to see his manager, who'll definitely fire him to save face and gain her appreciation. He barely accumulated 1.4 million won after working so hard yet a disaster befell on him out of nowhere and it was all because of an unintentional mistake!
The manager, who usually lingers near the reception, happened to hear the commotion, he rushed outside and when he saw the girl covered in pasta sauce and salad, his face turned extremely pale. He tried to calm down and hid his shaking hands behind his back while appearing in front of her and apologetically saying
"Miss Jasmine, please forgive us! It was our employee's fault, he will be immediately fired, as for the meal, consider it free."
The black-haired girl, whose name is Jasmine, looked at the fidgeting manager and spoke
"I don't care about the meal, I want money for this dress"
The manager looked at the dress which was dirtied by the food, he noticed the diamonds here and there and could not help but sweat profusely, he quickly judged the dress to be expensive and with no one but Bin to vent his anger and frustration on, he yelled with a deafening voice,
"Ungraetful fool! Look at what you have done! You're fired and you'll be paying for Miss Jasmine's dress. Do you hear me?!"
It's the first time the manager ever yelled at Bin. Usually, he dotes on him and treats him very well but now that Jasmine is involved, he had to abandon his employee and take her side.
Hearing the manager's words, Bin grit his teeth and clenched his fists. All of this was blamed on him, as expected, so he turned toward the still sitting girl and said
"Miss Jasmine, please excuse me, I really didn't mean to spill the food on your dress. I can't afford to pay for the dress."
While saying that, he bowed his head again, this time much lower than before. He cursed himself and this unfair world, he felt ashamed and blamed no one but himself for being penniless. After all, in a world like this, it doesn't matter if you're in right as the people with money will always be just and come out as winners.
Even if he wanted to protest, he couldn't, after all, he was illegally working in this restaurant, so if he wanted to push the blame to the restaurant, he couldn't.
When Jasmine heard Bin, her face remained cold and she didn't even flinch, she just stretched her hand and spoke again
"I just said I don't care, pay up for my dress. It was your fault and an apology is not enough."
To be honest, Bin wasn't a respectful person, and more so towards a rich girl like her, since she didn't accept his apology, there is nothing else he can do. He won't get on his knees and beg her when that accident wasn't even intentional. He doesn't have the money to pay for the dress and, truth be told, even if he had, he still won't pay for it.
Unable to contain his tubulent emotions anylonger, Bin snapped at her.
"What the do you want me to do?! Sell my body to you?! I can't pay up for the dress so suck it up and just accept the apology or else go buy another once since you're so filthy rich!
just as he finished voicing his thoughts, he turned around and swiftly darted out of the restaurant without even paying attention to the surprised gazes of the customers and the manager.
As for Jasmine, she sat there, dazed, as if she couldn't comprehend what just happened. His outburst was too sudden, he was respectful to customers but his attitude shifted so drastically but, after thinking things through, she guessed that remaining respectful was unnecessary as he was already fired.
Normally, one would sympathize with him and comprehend that not anyone can't pay 10 million won out of nowhere just because he dirtied it, after all, it can be cleaned easily yet she wanted him to pay. What Bin hated the most is rich people, especially the ones like her so he didn't hold back and angrily and loudly yelled at her.
Having been fired, Bin didn't know what to do. Usually, he works at the restaurant during the day and, at night, he switches to another, but now that most of his money income is gone, he was doomed.
After three years of hard work, he was finally assigned to be a waited but it was ruined in day, no, in a matter of minutes. Such an absurd and unlucky turn of events can only happen to people like Bin, those discriminated and looked down upon by the privilged ones.
He started wandering aimlessly in the streets, he stared enviously at those rich kids who were either shopping in the expensive cloth shops or enjoying their time in a karaoke, while a single cloth from there can make the thousands of people living in his neighborhood have a better life. It's really disgusting how people just use money endlessly while others struggle to gain just a little bit.
Bin returned to his little apartment, since he has nothing to do he decided to stay there until the time for his next job comes. The weather was a little hot, and with his little apartment, the atmosphere was suffocating, nonetheless, he was used to it so he just laid on the blankets while staring at the roof, there was nothing he can do besides lay down and rest.
There are some books but all of them have been read a lot of times until he memorized them and, to be honest, he never got free time, for 3 years he worked all time with only a little bit of rest at night, that time was the only time he could sleep so, in general, a free time like now never happened to him.
While lost in thought, Bin unconsciously fell asleep. After around two hours, someone knocked his apartment's door and snapped him out of his sleep, he quickly got rid of the saliva on his lips then opened the door. Once he did, he saw a muscular and tall man standing before him like a statue, the man wore a clean black suit and looked down at the pale-faced youth.
Bin was taking aback when he saw this man, nevertheless, he still spoke
"Who are you?"
"Follow me, our miss wants to talk to you"
Bin was surprised for a second before he remembered offending that rich girl then ran away, he started sweating a bit and a lot of bad thoughts raged inside of his mind.
'What a persistent brat! Did she investigate me this fast? It's just a damned dress!"
Soon enough, he started regretting his disrespectful words but there's no way he could take them back now.
The big guy turned around and began walking, Bin didn't dare to run away or try anything, he just followed him with slow steps. Just as they descended the stairs of the run-down building, Bin saw a white limousine parked not for away. The car looked exorbitant and clean, and just near it, there was also 2 black-suited men standing with hands behind their backs.
Bin was led in front of the car, then the guy who guided him here said
"The Miss is inside, she wishes to speak with you."
Bin nodded and was going to enter the car before the guy spoke again with a threatening tone
"Try anything weird or out of place and I'll cripple you myself."
Bin expressionlessly looked at the giant man before silently getting into the car. The threat of the guards didn't seem to work on the youth, which made the bodyguard frown but he didn't stop him. The reason Bin followed the guy was because he wanted to know why this girl was so persistent for just a piece of clothing, even if it was this expensive, it's still a material thing. It's not like he killed her family.
As he entered the white limo, Bin was shocked by its fancy interior. Connected seats made of a special fur, a big Tv screen on the two furthest corners, a black and soft carpet, and loads of snacks. Jasmine stood at the other end, wearing a dress that looked flashier than the one from before, her face still having that coldness.
'She really looks like a wasteful person. That dress looks brand new.'
Inwardly, Bin criticized her and didn't like how she spends money left and right, not caring about anything. Some people struggle to buy food for their families yet here she is throwing money as if it was garbage, nevertheless, it was her money so he couldn't voice his thoughts.
As she saw him get into the car, Jasmine put down the 'parfait' she was eating and said,
"Oh, you're finally here. Do you even know what you did? Not only you messed my dress, you also ran away without paying for it."
"I already told you I've got no money, are you deaf? That dress was only dirtied... just put it in the washer and stop being such a crybaby."
Bin instantly retorted with an annoyed tone, her attitude didn't sit well with him and if she were to see the poor people struggling out there, she wouldn't behave like that, or so he thought.
Jasmine, a bit startled by his words and berating, frowned. She was the spoiled daughter of a rich businessman and was never disprespect in such a way. Those who dared to go against here ended up homeless but, such cases as rare as almost all the people she meets would try to sweet-talk her.
After a few breaths, the girl snapped out of it and said back,
"You speak to me like that and you expect me to forgive you? Hmpf!"
Jasmine was always calm about everything, but she was angered to have someone talk to her like that.
"The helldo you think you are? Without money, you are nothing! I'm not going to sit all day and waste my time with you."
"W-waste your time? Do you even know who I am? People would be grateful to just be able to talk with me."
"Well I'm not those 'people' so spit it out, why did you investigate me, find my address and come find me?"
Jasmine grinned, crossed her legs and leaned on the comfortable seat before speaking again,
"I've come for my money, but since you can't pay, I'll have you become my loyal servant. You have no right to refuse!"
She stated that with such a proud expresison and a confident tone that it almost seemed hysterical.
Bin looked at her without saying anything. He furrowed his brows and studied her expression, which strangely seemed genuine. She could get a hundred servants with a wave of her hand so why does she want him specifically? No matter, her proposition, albeit abrupt, was very interesting to Bin, who just got fired. It doesn't matter her motive as long as he gets a good pay.
"I'm listening, how much are you going to pay me?"
He grinned at Jasmine and clenched his fists in excitment. To be the servant of a filthy girl like her was a great opportunity, he won't be able to hide his radical loath of the people like her but he was certain that he'll do a good job, moreover, the pain will be decent.
"Pay? You will be my servant until you pay for my dress, it would be for free"
she replied while snorting and glaring at him angrily.
"Dream on little miss~. I'm not working for free, either you pay or I'm not becoming a servant, not everyone is as free as you are. People have to work to earn money and pay for their rent, food, bills, and taxes. Not everyone is like you, born with a silver-spoon in their mouths."
Jasmine became angry every time she heard him talk to her like that, he didn't even talk politely, she couldn't help but grit her teeth and think for a moment.
To be honest, she didn't want him to be a servant to pay for the dress but to let him experience hell for what he did, so she replied
"Fine, I'll pay you 1 million won."
Even though she thought it's a relatively low pay, Bin thought the opposite of that and he almost jumped out of happiness, 1 million won for a salary is a lot, he didn't expect her to be so generous and the way he looked at her changed, though he still felt disgusted to have someone who wastes money as his master.
"Fine, master, since today I'll become your servant but what exactly do I have to do?"
He smiled creepily at her as couldn't forget the salary and was delighted.
If he can work for her just the one year he has left he would accumulate enough money for his little sister to barely hold on when he dies.
"Hehehe, you just have to do Whatever I say."
She empathized one particular word while picking up the fork again and eating a bit of the Parfait.
Bin looked at his new master, not too sure if his hasty decision was right or wrong.
Jasmine took a closer look the man in front of her and noticed that he had ragged clothes and a torn shoes, but nonetheless, she didn't dare comment but Bin noticed her gaze and said with a cold tone"I've agreed to be your servant but I don't need your look of pity since the most thing I hate is someone like you pitying me""hmph! I was not pitying you so don't delusion yourself, I've thought that you can't be my servant with those clothes"as she said that, she picked up her phone which was also made of some gold or silver, she spoke with someone for some seconds before waving her hand to the driver and the limousine began to move.No one talked, and the atmosphere soon became awkward, but Bin just remained silent with a deadpan expression on his face.Now that he thought of it, in his life, he rarely talked to girls, as for beauties like this one, he never got the chance to ta
As the main door of the mansion was opened, what Bin witnessed dumbfounded him, for such an insignificant person like him to see a thing like this is very rare.Very wide stairs that could fit 10 persons were present in front of him, they seemed to lead to the next floor, a long red carpet was on the stairs all the way to the top and even the stairs were made from a special material.This was a big hall, two tall pillars that reached the roof of this floor were erected from the ground, they were at the edges of the stairs, they were what is know as Corinthian pillars and had a majestic look to them.Moreover, there were paintings hanging on the wall with some stone and gold sculptures here and there. Be it a sculpture of an ancient philosopher or a famous athlete, there were all kinds of sculptures.Bin was left agape as this sight, just this hall alone is worth millions of dollars, so what about the
The room of Jasmine was out of the ordinary, be it the bed, curtains or even the floor was special. It was made from smooth and good looking wood, what's more, is that very soft carpet was laid here and there.Bin didn't know what to do after he came here, so he just stood there like a log and stared at Jasmine, who also didn't know what to order."I-I'm going to play, so you better not disturb me!"Angry because she didn't find anything she could annoy him with, Jasmine used her usual loud voice to shout at him then sat on her personal gaming set-up.The computer was booted up and soon, she started playing and not minding Bin or anyone else. She put on her headset and started smashing the mouse and keyboard, you could call it destroying expensive things more than playing a game.The explosion and booming sounds came from the headset. Bin couldn't help but smirk as she saw her ra
The mansion was just too big to search every corner of it. The only thing Bin could do was pick a direction and just head towards it and wish to find the kitchen there, or at least a place to get the dinner from.'To begin with, didn't one of her parents tell her to come down to dine with them? Unresponsible brat... can't believe she's my master.'The wide hall was illuminated by several lights and he even spotted more than two chandeliers that were as big as a cow. Every second he contemplated the luxurious furniture, Bin felt pain in his heart as the world was really too unfair.Whilst people spend millions of dollars to buy a carpet or a single painting, just ten percent of that amount could allow countless people to live for years or at least survive for some time.Rich people would bathe in money bills yet poor people would work a whole day for not even a quarter of one money bill, it's pathetic yet sad. For someone like him, who experienced poverty since he was young, he knew how
Although it's a bit awkward to call his superior and someone older than him by her name, Bin didn't mind and directly called her that."So Hyue, does master has always been such a spoiled and annoying child?"This time, Hyue really didn't expect such a question, she couldn't help but stop walking and stare at Bin with complex feelings. She was astonished that he asked such a question and was so straight about it, he even kind of insulted the Miss."Miss is a calm and hard-working person."She didn't say much but you could see she respected Jasmine but Bin didn't know the reason, all he saw in Jasmine was childish behavior and an annoying mouth, not even a single quality beside her body and beauty but beauty with no brains whatsoever is nothing."Pfft! Hard-working, calm? I find that hard to believe, are you sure we're talking about the same person?""Obviously, it's Miss Jasmine. She's the only daughter of master."'Master?'Bin was confused on who that master was but after some thinki
Since Jasmine slept quite early yesterday, she woke up at 5 AM, the first thing she said was to call for Bin for no apparent reason. She caused a huge ruckus and loud noises as she yelled around yet no one could do what she wants, with no choice but to go to pick him up, Jasmine dressed up and went to Bin's small house in the usual white limousine."Hmpf! I prepared a room for him yet he still dares to go back home."Jasmine completely forgot about the fact that he told her he has to take care of his little sister, she didn't even bother to think how he got home, for her, these things didn't matter. She needed to teach him a lesson and make his life hell, but it's not like it's not already is hell due to his circumstances.About 20 minutes later, the white limousine arrived at the rural district that Bin lives in. Dirty and crumbled buildings were everywhere. Some small and narrow alleys even have a foul stench of piss a
Bin wasn't going to force Mina to forgive Jasmine, after all, she's still a child and somethings can be changed quickly or be stuck in her forever. If she doesn't want to forgive Jasmine then he can't make her do so even with a billion candy, especially if it's someone like his little sister who is usually stubborn."Come on, we have to go now or we'll be late, Mina."Bin grabbed her hand and started walking, the little girl was still mocking Jasmine and sticking her tongue but once Bin talked she nodded and followed.As for Jasmine, she felt depressed as a little girl made fun of her, her pride was quite high and being mocked like this doesn't occur every day, in fact, it never happened before.Since she's pretty and kind to little children, they usually gather around her and play with her and start calling her big sister so what happened now seemed not right to her.Jasmine alw
While trying to maintain the kind elder sister image, Jasmine tried her best to approach Mina and talk to her but the little girl was strongly opposed to that. Despite seeing that, Jasmine was as persistent and clingy as ever, she endlessly talked and asked questions to Mina only to be ignored and treated like a barking dog or an annoying bug.Bin had long since closed his eyes and relaxed on this comfortable sofa, Mina didn't disturb him as she more than anyone else wanted to rest so when the opportunity was given to him, she didn't talk or bother him, she merely sat on his lap and remained silent while looking from the window and staring at the street.The car speed was neither fast nor slow and since the system is rotten, the car had a special plate so it had more space to drive on. For example, in an intersection, many cars would let it pass first without fighting as it is just like that, the rich benefits and the poor suffers, if you do
Bin’s eyes fluttered then slowly opened. He felt weight on his thighs and chest and when he looked down, he saw Jasmine sound asleep. She had a habit of hugging him in the middle of sleep and half of her body would be pressed against his. It has been a year and a half since they started dating and the embarrassment of sleeping naked or half-naked was no more. Their relationship only got better and they even moved to a new place with Nina, though it wasn’t far from Emilia and Elise. He wasn’t interested in getting a proper job, nevertheless, he did find an entertaining habit, which was quickly developed. With Jasmine’s support and Bert’s countless acquaintances, Bin had opened a cozy small café in a relatively empty street. It wasn’t the best of locations, but he did not care. Bin was fo
Brule River Boreal Forest State, Russia. The forest, excluding wild beasts, was generally devoid of humans. However, today, it was the total opposite. The Russian Government dispatched its military and barricaded the huge region. Jets were flying through the air, trying to scout the ground and eliminate the legions of Pests stationed around the river and in-between the countless trees. However, the most eye-catching thing was the crimson crack hanging in the sky, its blood-red light outshining even the sun. Its mere presence brought for a foreboding and eerie atmosphere as well as a thick fog of the same color. Although well-equipped, the Russian Government did not act recklessly or rashly. They kne
“I won’t be away for long, okay?” “Promise?” Nina, looking a bit sad, lowered her head and tried not to cry. To appease her, Bin gave her a tight hug and repeatedly reassured her that everything will be alright. It has been ten days since his return to Earth and though no one forced him to act, he deemed now as the right time to get rid of the Rifts once and for all. Fortunately, there were no spotted Rifts in M-nation, therefore, Bin would soon have to leave for other countries. “Next time, I’ll bring you to fun places! I will bring gifts back with me, too!” Jasmine also hugged Nina and playfully pulled her c
“Sorry for the wait.”-Angelica “It’s fine.” Replied Bin as he sat back down next to Jasmine and smiled at her parents. While they discussed things, he spent some time chatting with the servants and managed to clear things up with Hyue. It was a good decision to come here and mend past relationships now that he was moving on and turning a new leaf. Unlike earlier, Theodore looked calmer but he was still glaring at him. As for Angelica, her expression was never-changing and, as always, unreadable. “My husband and I are not against your relationship, Bin. I only ask that you take good care of her.” “It shall be done, Madam.” “It better do! If I hear
Bin and Jasmine walked for a while before they returned to the car.“I should be the one ‘walking you home’. Sadly, I don’t have a driver’s license.”Bin sighed and watched as she drove him back to the villa. The trip back home felt brief as they talked on the way, but when they reached their destination, the two were silent.“If you have nothing to do, let’s meet tomorrow.” Suggested Bin as he looked at the white-haired Silver Dragon.Of course, Jasmine agreed with a meek nod. As he was about to get off, she abruptly stretched her arm and grabbed his, thus making him halt his actions.“Jasmine?”
Late at night, after the family had dinner and everyone retreated to their rooms, Bin went downstairs and, as he had expected, found Emilia in the kitchen. She absent-mindedly looked at the dining table and not even his arrival was noticed. Only when he pulled a chair and sat right next to her did she twitch and look at him. “Mother, you’re still worried?” He faintly smiled and gently grasped her hands, which eased the frown on her face. “How can I not be when my son refuses to listen to reason? Everytime, I get to see you for a brief time and then you leave.” “
Barely half a day after he woke up, Bin was in perfect health. However, Ann insisted that stays for two additional days, to which he nodded in obedience. As expected, he received many visits from Bert and the rest. Elise and, especially, Emilia, came every couple of hours to check on him and bring food. “Umm… so, there’s a matter that warrants an explanation. But, I think it’s better to wait till you come home.” Elise, fidgeting, peeled an orange while uttering those vague words. “It would have been better if you stayed silent.” “I was just warning you. At least, that way, you won’t be as surprised. Just brace yourself… okay?” Life as A Servant
When Bin finally regained his consciousness and opened his eyes, he found himself in an overly-extravagant and spacious hospital room. He took a couple of seconds to look around before slowly sitting up.He wasn’t particularly injured and the overwhelming exhaustion he was subjected to prior and after opening the portal was completely gone, fortunately.“Bin.”Somewhat softly called out to him, thus did his gaze jump to the source of the voice. He was facing Elise, Emilia, and, unexpectedly, the now grown-up Ryne. The three were sitting on a wide leather sofa and chatting quietly only to be startled by his sudden awakening.His mother ran to his side and supported him, fearing that he was experiencing pain. Life as A Servant
“Hurry up, Bin!” Although she was fending off the horde of Pests, Jasmine could not fight forever. She remained close to Bin and continuously swung her sword at any incoming enemies. At the same time, Bin was strengthening his connection with the white crystal. Slowly but surely, a gentle wave of white light flowed from within his body and started taking the shape of a human-sized portal. Unfortunately, Jasmine was reaching her limits and ended up getting blasted far away. Her body crashed on the ground and rolled a couple of times. Although she hastily got back on her feet and ran back, it wasn’t fast enough to stop the Pests from reaching Bin. With all his concentration focused on the connection, Bin could not defend himChapter 495 : Reunion
