A Clash Of Obsession
A bustling beauty salon
Chapter 1:- A bustling beauty salon~
A crowd of people is gathered around a table, taking pamphlets.
Shoukichi
Please take one. *Distributing pamphlets*
Shoukichi
please take one.
Customer 1
*Took pamphlet from him* Thankyou
Customer 1
what's this? A beauty salon? *while looking at pamphlet*
Customer 1
*Laughing* Ahaha! I don't need this! *thrown on ground as walk-away*
Shoukichi
*Frowns* Where are their manners?💢 *he whispers to himself as angrily bend down to collect the pamphlet*
A dimly lit salon's entryway
a flamboyant young man with silver hair, stands there looking at Shoukichi. He is holding a small, rectangular object(Pamphlet), As he bends on his one knee to give that piece of paper to him.
Fukusuke
Here. *passing him pamphlet*
Fukusuke
Are you an assistant? *he approaches him, a confident smirk on his face.*
Shoukichi
No, I'm a stylist
Fukusuke
*continues to tease Shoukichi* Wooooww, seriously? *playfully*
Fukusuke
*fukusuke reacts with annoyance, crumpling up a piece of paper*
Shoukichi
*He reacts angrily, clenching his fists.*
Fukusuke
*drops the crumpled pamphlet* Your salon must be pretty unpopular if a stylist has this much time to be handing out flyers. It sucks having to work under such a sad excuse of an owner, doesn't it? *He continues his taunting, insulting Mikado-san's salon.*
Shoukichi
*Clenching his teeth*
Fukusuke continues to provoke Shoukichi, who eventually snaps.
*BANG!*
Shoukichi suddenly punches Fukusuke before he can say anything about owner of salon, sending him flying. He hovered over him and grabbed his collar while punching him non-stop.
Mikado-san
*holds Shoukichi as trying to get him back* DON'T HIT PEOPLE USING YOUR WORKING HANDS!!!
Shoukichi
THAT GUY WENT TOO FAR! I DON'T CARE IF MAKES FUN OF ME BUT I CAN'T LET HIM MAKE FUN OF YOU, MIKADO-SAN! 💢 *struggles,As trying to get release from mikadosan's grip*
Mikado-san
Ahhh.. calm down Shoukichi..!!
Shoukichi
*Shoukichi looks up at Mikado-san with a sheepish expression.*
Mikado-san
Take care of this! *He grabbed Shoukichi's hand and squeezed his fist* you need it for your job!
Shoukichi
*after he realizes his mistake* I'm sorry, mikado-san..
Shoukichi continues to reflect on his encounter with Fukusuke.
Shoukichi
I'm not good at talking back to people...so,I can't help but use my fists to win the argument...
Shoukichi
I need it to heal faster. *he rubs his injured hand.*
Shoukichi
anyway what's with that guy!? *Saying to himself* I'm so pissed off! When I pass out fliers sure, I get roped into something weird, but I've never met anyone so rude! first of all he's got nothing to do with Mikado-san and yet goes and criticizes him like he knows him. *continues to examine his hand, determined to recover while walking towards entrance.*
Shoukichi
Ughh, I get so pissed off just remembering him! *Opens the door* 💢 I never want to see his face again..
Fukusuke
WELL HELLO THERE, VICIOUS STYLIST SHOUKICHI KUN! IT'S KIND OF CRUEL TO PUNCH SOMEONE AND RUN AWAY WITHOUT APOLOGIZING, DON'T YOU THINK!?
Shoukichi
*with Disgusting and gross look on his face* ...Urgh! I-It's you...
Riku
Oh? You know him? *Observing both sides*
Fukusuke
Yeah, I saw him passing out flyers with an extremely sour look on his face. *He passed a big shameful grin*
Fukusuke
it was kind of funny when no one was taking them(pamphlets) from him....he looked sooooo pitiful and I tried to talk to him, but then he went and punched me. *Playfully*
Shoukichi
HUUH!? 💢
I PUNCHED YOU CAUSE YOU BLABBED SOME RIDICULOUSLY RUDE THINGS! *offended by Fukusuke's word*
Mikado-san
Shoukichi, again? Hey Now. *ruffles Shoukichi's hair* Don't start again
Mikado-san
Just the other day you punched an old man for sexually harassing riku-chan. didn't I tell you over not to use your working hand?
Mikado-san
You're gonna end up not being able to hold scissors, you know? *Trying to explain him*
Shoukichi
but Mikado-san! .......
*guilty expression as he Sighed*
....I'm sorry..
Fukusuke
So all the trouble went to Shoukichi-kun 'cause he's bad at customer service. Ahaha!! *while pointing at Shoukichi and looking at riku as he tease him, he laughed all way of sentence*
Shoukichi
HUH!? *frustrated frowns*
Shoukichi
WHO IS THIS GUY!? 💢*points on Fukusuke as asking to Mikado-san*
Mikado-san
*grab shoulders of Fukusuke from back as introducing him to everyone* this is Fukusuke! he will be working with us starting tomorrow! He's 26 years old and this is his 2nd year as a stylist. He's one year older than you, Shoukichi-kun.
Shoukichi
Such a pain in ass...*Nonchalantly mumbled*
Chapter 2- work together with this bastard!?
Riku
Mikado-san, I didn't know about this. *Raise hand*
Shoukichi
Me Too! I don't know either!
Mikado-san
sorryyy, I forgot to tell you guys.
Mikado-san
Well it's like this I happened to meet him...*Started telling them whole story*
(FLASHBACK)
Mikado-san:- While drinking at a bar I had went to not too long ago you see and when we started to chat I found out that he was in the same professions as me, so I began my complaining I told him I was happy that I become an independent Salon owner just as I had always waste, but it is harder that it looks since now I don't get help from the company I had worked at before and the only people I enter up hiring for my staff are troublemakers and just when I thought I had secured a good location for my Salon other salon started opening up around here, so I never have any new customers! Then on top of it all my wife has been acting cold...
Shoukichi
troublemakers!? *Shocked*
Riku
so you went and complained about those things to someone you met for the first time? it's so like you
(FLASHBACK)
Fukusuke:- The Salon I work at now is a worth while job, of course, but I think it will be fun to work, at your salon, Mikado-san!
Mikado-san:- huh? seriously? come work for me then!
Mikado-san
and so who would have known that a young handsome stylish who works at a prestigious Salon in Central Tokyo was looking for a new job
Shoukichi
basically you scouted him!?
Shoukichi
but, I mean, pretty much the only customers who come here all ask for you, Mikado-san, so what's the point of having more stylist working here?! *confused frowns*
Riku
That's because you can't get any regular customers, Shoukichi.
Shoukichi
RIKU!!! I DO HAVE SOME!! *loudly*
Mikado-san
that's exactly why. *agreed on riku*
have you seen the appointment chart for yesterday?
Shoukichi
Yes, I have checked it. it is rare for us to have so full of appointments.
Riku
Since I haven't created a new row yet I put all those appointments into the freelance section~
Mikado-san
but all of those appointment are customers asking for Fukusuke.
It's pretty amazing isn't it considering it's his first day tomorrow~
Shoukichi
......... *Jealous*
Fukusuke
Pfft~
you thought those new customers were asking for you? *glance at him with pitiful expression*
Riku
Mikado-saaaan, if I am the only assistant for that many customers, I don't know if I can do it.
Mikado-san
don't worry, don't worry! we'll have Shoukichi be Fukusuke's helper. *looking at Shoukichi*
Mikado-san
of course if you get a customer here for you, I'll ask you to go and cut hair but otherwise you'll the more useful as another helper.
Fukusuke
that means...*Sultry side glance at Shoukichi*
Shoukichi
*Flinch* w-what?!..
Fukusuke
