Lost
Dumped
Welcome to chapter 1 of Lost!
Alright, stuff you need to know.
~this~ means it's Jake's inner thoughts.
Ronald Jones
You should **** off and die!
Jake gets punched and the force knocks him to the the ground.
Jake Lao
How can you hit me so casually?
Ronald Jones
Aren't you Jake Lao?! You've harassed my girlfriend Lucy everyday! That punch isn't even half of what you deserve!
Lucy Lin
That's right. You should be getting hit.
Lucy Lin
You've been chasing me for 3 months and the most expensive thing you've given me was a movie ticket! You can't even give me a phone! Just hurry and get lost.
Jake Lao
Lucy, I've bought the phone with the money I saved up since tomorrow is your birthday, but it got stolen.
Lucy Lin
Don't make up such nonsense if you don't make money! You're just a poor peasant!
Ronald Jones
Baby, let's not bother with him anymore. What else do you want?
They turn around and leave.
Jake Lao
~You're just SOO great if you have money?!~
Suddenly, Jake feels a sudden wave of strength in his arms.
Jake slams both fists on the ground.
Jake Lao
~Hateful. Hateful. HATEFUL!~
Jake gets up and proceeds to leave.
Jake does not see that he has actually smashed the ground.
Ding!~ He receives a text.
Jake Lao
Who could be sending a text message to me at this time of day?
Jake Lao
Whatever, I'll look at it later.
A few hours later, Jake is drunk at a bar with his friends.
Jake Lao
Huumph, womaan tha -burp- at are afteer mooney aren't even thaat -burp- rare. I must haave been bliind to fall for heer.
Eddy Te
Bro, don't drink so much!
Eddy Te
Don't be angry any more! Quell your anger.
Ray Pame
What happened to him?
Eddy Te
He was dumped by the girl he's been chasing for 3 months.
Eddy Te
The man the girl was with had a large wallet and they went and beat Jake Lao.
Eddy Te
He still hasn't calmed down yet.
Ray Pame
Cheh, next time I see that pair, I'll give them such a beating that they won't even be able to care for themselves.
Eddy Te, one of Jake's friends. Eddy was the only one that stuck around when terrible rumors about Jake was spread around. Eddy later had also lent Jake some money when Jake's mother was seriously ill.
Ray Pame, one of Jake's friends. He was originally part of a gang but when his grandpa suddenly got sick, he needed money. He got kicked out of the gang for asking for money. He was going to threaten to kill someone to get some cash but it was going to fail and he was actually going to kill them. However, Jake and Eddy happened to be there and stopped him and gave him almost all the money and the 3 of them worked to get the rest of the money.
Jake Lao
You guuys eat first. I'm gooing to the baathroom.
Jake reaches out for his phone.
Jake Lao
Oh, the text I got.
Jake reaches the bathroom.
Tap! He opens the text message. However, he's way too drunk to read it.
Jake Lao
Whatever, I'll read it tomorrow.
Jake returns and eats with his friends. Eventually, it got really late and after the 3 of them said their goodbyes, Jake heads home.
Alright. That's all for chapter 1.
Who's this?
Jake Lao
Argh, shouldn't have drunken so much
Although drunk, Jake miraculous still gets home without any problems.
Hey readers! Before we continue, there is another thing you need to know.
'this' means it's over a call, ear piece, ect.
Alright enough of this, let's continue.
Aeru Fle
'Target is in position, shoot!'
Bang! Jake snipes the target.
Aeru Fle
'Alright! We completed the mission. Let's meet back at the meeting point.'
Jake goes to the meeting point.
Aeru Fle
Hey, let's hang out later since we have this rare free time.
Jake Lao
Alrrright, but to be honest, I would rather sleep.
Aeru Fle
Don't be like that.
Jake Lao
Fine, fine, where we going?
Aeru Fle
I've been interested in Jully's Diner.
Jake Lao
Then let's go ther-
Jake Lao
What the hell was that?
Aeru Fle
Dunno, let's go check out what happened.
Jake Lao
Just the kind of sleep I needed.
Jake gets up and checks his phone.
Jake Lao
Right, I should check the text.
Jake reads the text to himself.
Jake Lao
"Agent J, how are you doing after all these years? I know it seemed like it but...I didn't betray you. Say, we never got to go to Jully's diner. Want to go there?"
Jake Lao
Who the heck is this? Agent J? Is that supposed to be me?
Jake Lao
Maybe they texted the wrong number? I mean, I don't recognize this number at all.
Jake Lao
Let's try replying.
Jake types, "Hello, may I ask who's this?"
Jake Lao
HUH? Number does not exist?
Jake Lao
What the hell, did they delete their number?
Jake Lao
Shit, time for work.
Jake gets ready and something on his window sill catches his eyes.
Jake Lao
Isn't this the phone that got stolen from me?
Jake Lao
What is it doing here?
Jake Lao
Whatever, I'll deal with this after work is over.
The Deleted Number Exists
Jake Lao
Why would the phone that got stolen from me be here?
Jake Lao
Did the thief return it?
Jake Lao
Let's see if they did anything to the phone.
Jake turns on the phone and checks.
Jake Lao
Wait...this number seems familiar.
Jake thinks deeply about where he has seen the number.
Jake Lao
Wait...isn't this
Jake checks the text he got yesterday.
Jake Lao
Yep, the number is the same.
Jake Lao
So the thief messaged me using this phone and returned it?
Jake Lao
Wait. Isn't this number deleted?
Jake Lao
It clearly still exists.
Jake Lao
I'll try to text it again.
Jake Lao
What...it still says that the number doesn't exist.
Jake Lao
Can I text with this phone then?
Jake texts himself using the phone.
Ding!~ Jake receives a text.
Jake Lao
How is this possible? I can't text this number but this number can text me?
Jake goes and checks the photos.
There was a single photo.
Jake Lao
This is a photo of...Jully's Diner?
Jake Lao
The text mentioned it.
Jake Lao
But why do I feel like I've heard of this place long before I got the text?
Jake Lao
Maybe the thief is asking me to go there? But what would "we never got to go to Jully's Diner" mean?
Jake Lao
I don't think I've made a promise with anybody to go there.
Jake Lao
But why. Why does it feel like I did?
Jake thinks for a moment and decides...
Jake Lao
I guess I'll go to Jully's Diner.
Jake Lao
I've never went there since the food was too expensive. I'll just go there and check if the thief is there. Not that I'll be able to recognize the thief...
Jake Lao
But what if I'm too late? I mean, the text was sent yesterday.
Jake Lao
Whatever, I'll go just in case. Maybe I could also solve the mystery as to why this phone number is deleted when it still exists.
