Toxic Love

New start.

In a stormy night, Yūri was chatting with her boyfriend.

Yuri: Sorry Ethan.

Ethan: Uh!

Yūri: It's over between us, I don't want to continue this relationship anymore.

Ethan: You expect me to hold you, I'm sure you'll crawl back to me.

Yuri: Goodbye Ethan.

Yūri left, leaving Ethan alone.

Two years later.

In a beautiful sunny morning, Yūri woke up, picked up his phone and looked at the time.

She realized she had gotten up a little later than expected.

Yūri: Oh no, my job interview is today, I'm almost late.

She quickly took a shower.

She got dressed, put on her shoes and set off for her interview.

Yūri: My name is Yūri and I am 21 years old.

Yūri: Single and unemployed, I finally broke up with my ex-boyfriend to focus on my life.

Yūri: Do I miss him?, Not even a little, I hope I never see him again in my life.

She was walking on the road, when suddenly a car splashed her.

She shouted in anger.

Yūri: Be careful where you're going. Now I'm all wet for my interview.

Yūri: If I catch this driver, he will pay dearly.

A few hours later, Yūri had managed to find a change of clothes in a shop nearby.

Yūri: Fortunately, I was able to change in this store, it really saved my life. Even if it cost me dearly.

Arriving at the meeting place, she was enchanted by the beauty of the company.

Yūri: What a magnificent building.

She entered the building, then headed towards reception.

Yuri: Hello

The receptionist greeted him warmly.

Receptionist: Hello miss, what can I do for you?

Yūri: Hello, I'm here for my interview, I have an appointment today.

Receptionist: Perfect, just a moment please.

She quickly checked the list.

Receptionist: What is your name please?

Yūri: Yūri luck.

Receptionist: Yes, you are on the list. You will be picked up later, please wait a few minutes, you will go after the other candidate.

Yuri: Thank you very much.

She went to wait in the reception room and, by pure coincidence, she passed the boy who was in the car who had splashed her.

Yuri: You!

??? : YOU !

Yuri: What are you doing here? Are you following me now ?

???: No, I'm here to...

Yūri: No need to explain, you didn't dirty my clothes enough this morning, now you have to follow me.

???: Exactly, about this morning, I wanted...

Yūri: I prefer not to talk to you, and for you to leave me alone.

At the reception there was a commotion, the head receptionist immediately intervened.

Receptionist: Is everything okay, miss?

Yūri: Yes, don't worry.

Receptionist: Okay, you can go.

Yūri: Thank you, I'll leave right away.

She gave the young man a cold, dark look, then left.

During this brief meeting, the young man seemed a little unsettled.

???: This girl is really strange, she has a special character.

Yūri went to her job interview; several hours later, she aced that interview and was ultimately hired.

Yūri: I'm hired!?

She was in disbelief, not expecting to be hired on the first try for her first attempt. The Chief then said to him:

Chef: Yes, congratulations.

Yūri: Thank you sir, I thought it would take a long time before you hired me.

Chef: You seem like a serious young woman, I'm sure you'll be perfect for this position.

Chief: Of course, you will first be assigned to the rank of trainee.

Yūri: I will not disappoint you.

Chef: I hope so.

Boss: You start tomorrow, you will be introduced to the whole team.

Yūri: Okay, thank you sir.

Yūri: *That's how I got my job.*

The day was coming to an end, Yūri took the subway home.

Arriving at the station, she went to a small restaurant in her neighborhood to relax.

The restaurant was run by a certain Mr. Franck, who was very close to Yūri.

Yuri: Good evening.

Mr. Franck: Ah Yūri, I’m delighted to see you again.

Yūri: Me too, Mr. Franck.

Mr. Franck: So, what can I get you?

Yūri: I'll have some salad, fries and a soda please.

Mr. Franck: Of course, it happens right away.

A few minutes later, the meal was served to Mademoiselle.

Mr. Franck: There you go, enjoy your meal.

Yūri: Thank you Mr. Franck.

She began to enjoy her meal with pleasure. Then, Mr. Franck asked him a question.

Mr. Franck: And how did your job interview go by the way?

Yūri: Yes, I was hired.

Mr Franck: Really, this is very good news.

Yūri: Yes, I know that.

Mr. Franck: So, when do you start?

Yūri: Tomorrow morning.

Mr Franck: Congratulations my dear Yūri.

Yūri: Thank you Mr. Franck.

Mr. Franck: I wish you good luck in your new life, who knows, maybe you will find love.

Yūri: It's out of the question, I'm not yet ready to meet new people

Yūri: I prefer to focus on my new life and love is not my priority at the moment.

Mr. Franck: You know, love isn't easy, but you shouldn't lose hope, even when you don't find the right person.

Yuri: Um...

Mr. Franck: The man who made you suffer simply does not deserve your love.

Mr. Franck: One day you will meet someone who will make you smile forever.

Yūri: I'm not sure about that, Mr. Franck.

Mr. Franck: You'll see, your prince will eventually arrive.

Yūri smiled and said:

Yūri: You know I don't believe in fairy tales, but...

Yūri: Thank you, you managed to cheer me up.

Mr. Franck: Glad to have helped you, my little one.

Yūri: After the day I had, I needed it.

Mr. Franck: Oh yes really.

Yūri: There is a boy who...

Mr. Franck: A boy already.

Yūri: It's not what you think, he splashed me with his car, so my clothes were completely soaked.

Mr. Franck: Ah

Yūri: Because of that, I had to buy new clothes for my interview.

Mr. Franck: It was just an accident.

Yūri: But he still should have paid.

Mr. Franck: Ah

This is how Yūri's evening ended in the company of Mr. Franck.

The next morning, she went to the company to start her first day of work.

Yūri: I hope everything goes well.

She went to the company director so that he could be present in front of the whole team.

Chief: Well, ladies and gentlemen, please pay attention to me.

The office remained silent.

Chef: I would like to introduce our two new colleagues who joined us today.

Chef: Let me introduce you to Yuri and Saydou who will now work with you.

Coincidentally, she was supposed to be working with the young man who had splattered her.

Yuri: Oh!

Let's get to know each other

Chief: This is Yūri and Saydou.

Yuri: Oh!

Saydou: You!

Chief: I welcome you among us, I expect you to teach them to adapt to our business.

Employer: Yes sir.

The chief went away and left them, one of the employers jumped with joy.

???: Welcome friends, I am delighted to meet you,

I'm Sofía, I hope we become good friends.

Yūri: Yes...me too...

Then another person spoke.

???: Let it breathe a little Sofía, they just have to settle down, no need to get excited.

Yūri: No, it's nothing.

???: Sofía has always been like that, she is always excited when it comes to receiving new recruits.

Yūri: I see it.

???: I didn't introduce myself, my name is Célina.

Yuri: Nice to meet you.

Célina:And introduces you to Camilla and Rosalía.

Rosalía: Hello

Camilla: Hi

Yūri: Nice to meet you.

Célina: And on the boys' side there's Alex, Stéphane and Katsu.

Alex: Hi

Stéphane: Hello

Katsu: hi

Célina: This is our little team.

Yūri: Nice to meet you.

But Saydou was very calm, he was only observing the surroundings. Noticing this, Célina said:

Célina: You seem very calm my young friend, you haven't said anything since earlier.

Saydou: Sorry, I was a little lost in my thoughts; I am happy to meet you.

Célina:(What a cute boy, how can you be so cute)

Rosalía: I hope you like it here.

Saydou: I hope so too.

It was then that Alex approached and said:

Alex: Come on now, let's let the girls chat among themselves, I'll explain everything you need to know down to the smallest detail.

The boys took Saydou away, leaving the girls alone.

Camilla: Holy Alex, he's always available to clown around.

Rosalía: Yes, that’s true.

Célina: Well, since the boys are taking care of showing Saydou around the company, we'll take care of showing you around.

Yuri: Okay

Camilla: Come on.

The girls in turn took Yūri with her to show her around the company.

Both groups spent the day explaining and visiting the company. Her first day of work was pleasant, she enjoyed discovering these new things.

The day was over, when they left the company it was dark.

Yūri: Thank you very much for your help.

Célina: Oh, it’s nothing.

Camilla: We did it with pleasure.

Rosalía: That's right, no need to thank us.

Then they saw the boys arriving.

Célina: Here are the boys arriving.

Sofía shook her hands making a sign of recognition while screaming.

Sofia: Oh boys.

Alex: Hello girls

Célina: Are you finally finished?

Alex: Yes, the new kid is never going to get lost again.

Célina: Oh yes, really.

Saydou: Yes, thanks to the explanations provided by Stéphane, I was able to better understand how the company works.

Alex: Ah!

Célina: I suspected that.

Alex: I even helped Stéphane explain it to him.

Célina: But yes, I could believe you.

They laughed together, the running between them went well; Then Sofía had an idea.

Sofía: I have a great idea.

Rosalía: Oh!

Sofía: To celebrate our meeting, we are going to dinner together; We will get to know each other and get to know each other better.

Célina: Yes why not.

And Alex burst into joy.

Alex: Yesss, a night with colleagues, I totally approve.

Camilla: An evening to welcome our new friends is an excellent idea.

Katsu: Come on guys, we're going to have fun tonight.

Celina: Yes

Camilla: Yes

Rosalia: Yes

Stéphane: Yes.

Alex: Yes.

They went to a small restaurant to treat themselves.

The atmosphere was very pleasant, in the fun Sofía found a karaoke and said:

Sofía: Hey guys, there's karaoke in the restaurant, and let's play it.

Célina: No thank you, I sing rather badly.

Alex: Come on guys, we're here to have fun, now everyone to karaoke.

They all went to sing, they spent the night singing: They had such a good time at this evening, then a little later they decided to go home.

Camilla: What an evening, it was very funny.

Rosalía: It's true, your idea was wonderful Sofía.

Célina: Now we have to go back and rest so we can work tomorrow.

Katsu: Yes, you're right.

Stéphane: See you tomorrow at work, friends.

Yūri: Yes see you tomorrow

Sofía: Next time we will come to your house Yūri and this time we will party at your house.

Said Sofía totally drunk.

Yūri: Yes why not

Alex: Super cool, next time we'll go to Yūri's, that's a great idea you had there.

Alex: Great, great, great, great

Katsu: Calm down

Sofía: Come on, see you tomorrow.

Yūri: Yes, see you tomorrow, be careful on the road.

Sofia: I promise.

Saydou: They are very nice.

Yūri: Yes, they are good people.

Then she realized that she had been left alone with him.

Yūri: And you, what are you waiting for to leave?

Saydou: I have to take the metro.

Yūri: You take the subway.

Saydou: If you want, we can travel together.

Yūri hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

They took the metro together, then we continued the journey on foot.

Saydou: You know, I really want to apologize for yesterday morning, I didn't intend to ruin your day.

Yūri: No problem, it's the past.

Saydou: But you're still angry with me.

Yuri: Not at all

Saydou: It's normal after all, I'm responsible for dirtying you. But I want to offer it to you.

Yuri: Oh!

Saydou: Please accept my gift.

Yūri was shocked by Saydou's gesture, when she came home she took a shower then went to bed.

But Saydou's gift intrigued her, so she decided to open it, she took the box and opened it; inside she will find a beautiful set of women's clothing.

Yuri: Oh!

Yūri: A dress!?

She couldn't believe it, but she had received this dress from there.

Yuri: Saydou.

Heading to Australia

As the sun rose, Yūri was perfectly ready to begin her first day of work. However, she couldn't help but think of the evening she had spent with Saydou.

Yūri: (In the end, it wasn't that bad)

After having breakfast,

She left to go to work. After walking for a few hours, she was once again late to take the metro.

Yuri: Saydou

Saydou: Oh!

Yūri: Tell me I'm dreaming.

She approached him.

Saydou: Hello Yuri.

Yuri: What are you doing here?

Saydou: I missed the first metro, so I'm waiting for the second so I can leave.

Yūri: Were you late?

Saydou: Not exactly, several people were older, I saw fit to let them go before me.

Yūri: You're so nice.

Saydou: Do you think so? I'm told this often, but it's okay to help others from time to time.

Yūri: Yes, it's good, everything is going as planned.

When the subway arrived, they got inside. After a long journey, they finally arrived at the train station where they took a taxi to work.

Yūri & Saydou: Thank you very much.

They joined their team at the office, some had not yet recovered from the evening of the day before.

Yūri: Hello everyone!

Célina: Hi Yūri, how are you?

Yuri: I'm fine.

Rosalía: You came accompanied.

Yūri: It's not what you think, it's just a coincidence.

Rosalía: Relax, it was just a joke.

Sofía and Alex, lamenting in their corner, totally dejected.

Saydou: What happened to Sofia and Alex?

Camilla: Let's just say they didn't cope well last night.

Sofía: I couldn't function in these conditions.

Alex: I'm so tired I could collapse on the spot.

Katsu: You will survive.

Saydou: What are we doing today?

Stéphane: We are waiting for the next mission.

Saydou: The next mission!?

Yūri: What is our job really?

Rosalía: It’s true that we haven’t talked about it much.

Sofía: We do underwater photography.

Célina: We know it, Sofía.

Yūri: I know exactly what you're doing, but I'd like to know more.

Célina: Underwater photography is a scuba diving activity.

Yuri: Oh!

Katsu: We have a passion for underwater photography.

Célina: We receive requests from all over the world, whether from scientists, zoos or aquarium sellers.

Saydou: It's really fun.

Célina: We often travel to fulfill our missions.

Stéphane: Our goal is to capture images of aquatic animals, and as they are found underwater and in different locations around the world, we travel around the world.

Yūri: I'm sure I'll like it.

Célina: I was sure of it.

Suddenly he received a letter.

Stéphane: When we talk about work.

Sofia: A new letter?

Stéphane: Absolutely.

Rosalía: What does he say?

Stéphane: It's a water park, they ask us to take a photo of the mysterious creature called a leafy sea dragon.

Camilla: Do you think they are biologists?

Stéphane: Maybe.

Célina: We have to find out where to find it.

Katsu: I found it.

Yuri: ...

Katsu: They come from the southern coasts of Australia, they are a protected species.

Célina: You are too strong, Katsu.

Célina: We need to get ready, friends.

Yuri: Don't tell me...

Célina: Yes, tomorrow we are leaving for...

Sofia: Australia.

Yūri: Are you serious?

Camilla: Yes, very serious.

Alex: Heading to Australia.

Saydou: You were supposed to have died an hour ago.

The next day, they flew to Australia. Once there, they took a taxi which dropped them off at their hotel.

Sofía: Wow, what a beautiful room.

Rosalía: Yes, it's true, it's a beautiful room.

Katsu: Oh!

Saydou: Don't tell me we have to share the same room?

Hearing this, Alex jumped for joy.

Alex: Great, we share the same room with the girls.

Célina: Don't even think about it, you dirty pervert.

Stéphane then discovered another compartment in the room.

Stéphane: There is another room behind this door.

Célina: Really?!

They walked towards the door and discovered another room.

Saydou: I'm relieved.

Celina: Why?

Célina: Were you so afraid to spend the night with us?

Saydou: Yes... well not only that...

Then someone rang the doorbell.

Rosalía: I'm going.

Rosalía opened the door and saw a woman accompanied by a man.

??? and ???: Hello.

Rosalía: Hello, could you tell me who you are?

???: Excuse us for disturbing you, I'm Staël and this is Steve, we are marine guides.

Rosalía: Marine guides?!

Rosalía: Welcome to you.

Staël: Thank you.

Célina: What can I do for you?

Staël: We come to meet the photographers that WAB sent us, so that we can introduce ourselves.

Célina: I assume it was you who sent the request?

Staël: Nice to meet you, I'm Staël and this is Steve.

Célina: Nice to meet you, I'm Célina, and this is Camilla, Rosalía, Yūri, Alex, Stéphane, Sofía, Saydou and Katsu.

Sofia: Hi.

Staël: I am delighted to meet you.

Célina: We are preparing our things for tomorrow, as you can see.

Staël: I see that, we will meet tomorrow at the workplace.

Staël: We will be there.

They then left.

The boys settled into their rooms and the girls did the same.

Once settled, they decided to spend their time visiting the city. They were enchanted by the beauty of it and did some shopping for the next day's mission.

After this long walk, they returned to the hotel.

Saydou: Aren't you sleeping?

Yūri: No, I'm a little stressed for tomorrow's mission.

Saydou: Plus, you're a very smart girl, I'm convinced you'll be amazing.

These words comforted her and she responded with a smile.

Yuri: Yes.
