Another day, Another drama
As winter's chill wrapped the world in frost, Key walked alone, his footsteps the only sound breaking the silence.
The air was crisp, and his breath misted in the cold air as he traversed the snow-covered landscape.
The trees stood like sentinels, their branches bare and frosted, their limbs etched against the pale winter sky.
With each step, Key felt the weight of his thoughts slowly lifting, the cold air clearing his mind.
He breathed deeply, the icy air filling his lungs, and let the peacefulness of the winter wonderland wash over him.
The world seemed to be at rest, and in this moment, Key felt a sense of solitude and tranquility that was hard to find in the bustling world he usually inhabited.
Key Jushia
Half human, half animal?
Key Jushia
I thought the story of "The treaty of two world" is just a myth?
Key Jushia
How come a hybrid is here, in our earth?
Key Jushia
Well... It's none of my business, as long as I don't see him.
Key Jushia
When did I become like this? I thought that once I graduated from college, I could find stable job and marry a beautiful wife?
Key Jushia
But life is harsh...
As Key pushed open the door to the bustling restaurant, a cacophony of sounds assaulted him - clinking dishes, raised voices, and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafted through the air.
But one scene immediately caught his attention. A frazzled waitress, drenched from head to toe, stood frozen in the midst of a heated exchange with a disgruntled customer.
The man's face was red with rage, his voice booming across the dining area as he gestured wildly.
Other patrons stared, some with concern, others with morbid curiosity, while the waitstaff scurried around, trying to restore order.
Key's eyes locked onto the chaotic scene, his expression a mixture of concern and amusement, as he wondered what had sparked this morning's drama.
Key Jushia
Another day, another drama... *Mumbles*
Lorenze Finn
Hey, Key! Help! We've got a situation here!
Lorenze called out, his voice laced with urgency as he gestured towards the commotion.
Key Jushia
I could see that.
Lorenze Finn
That guy's been yelling at Winter for the past five minutes, and she's on the verge of tears.
Key's eyes scanned the scene before landing on Lorenze.
Lorenze Finn
She spilled coffee all over him, and now he's refusing to pay his bill until we comp his entire meal.
Lorenze explained, his eyes darting between Key and the irate customer.
Key Jushia
Okay, let me handle this.
Key Jushia
*Cough* Excuse me, Sir.
Key said, his voice calm and respectful as he approached the customer.
Key Jushia
I understand you're upset. Can I offer you a fresh cup of coffee, on the house?
Key Jushia
Perhaps we can resolve this issue and find a solution that works for everyone?
The customer turned to Key, his expression still red-faced but slightly curious.
Customer
You think a free cup of coffee is going to fix this?
Customer
Your incompetent waitress ruined my suit!
Key's expression remained neutral.
Key Jushia
I apologize for the inconvenience, sir.
Key Jushia
Let's see what we can do to make it right. May I offer to have our manager assist with a complimentary dry cleaning service or a discount on your meal?
The customer's face turned beet red as he snarled.
Customer
Are you kidding me? You think a discount or some free dry cleaning is going to make up for this disaster?
Customer
This is a ridiculously overpriced dump, and your staff is completely incompetent.
Key Jushia
💭 It looks cheap to me.
He spat, his voice rising to a shout.
Customer
You'd think a place like this could at least manage not to drown their customers in coffee!
Key Jushia
💭 Maybe because you're fat that could fit in the way? Fat-ass!
Key's expression remained calm, but his eyes narrowed slightly.
Key Jushia
I understand you're upset, sir. However, I'd appreciate it if you could refrain from using that language.
Key Jushia
Let's focus on finding a solution.
The customer's face darkened, his voice dripping with venom.
Customer
Who do you think you’re talking to? You think you can just stand there and lecture me about my language?
Customer
You’re just a low-level waiter, or whatever you are. I demand to speak to your manager, now!
Key Jushia
☺️ (🤬 You mother-freaking looking dog! Just wait until at the end of the night, I'll definitely hunt you and bury you alive!!!)
Key's expression remained neutral, but a hint of firmness crept into his voice.
Key Jushia
I understand you'd like to speak with my manager. I'll be happy to call them for you.
Key Jushia
In the meantime, perhaps you'd like to step outside for some fresh air while you wait?
And the customer left outside the restaurant.
Key Jushia
*Sigh* *Look at Winter*
Winter Fei
Y-yeah...*Shuttering*
Key Jushia
That's fine, go change, it's already winter, I don't want you get sick, Winter... On the season of winter...*Teasing*
Winter Fei
*Chuckles* I will.
She left to change her clothes.
Key Jushia
Lorenze, could you take care of the mess here?
Key Jushia
I know what's in your mind, don't worry about that old bastard...*Whisper the last part*
Key Jushia
Just do it. I have a mess to clean.
Lorenze Finn
Okay, Manager!
And he left outside the store.
Lorenze Finn
And follow for more chapters to come 🤍
