"I'm done," a piece of paper laid flat on the wide office table. It was not an application process or an interview, which was expected in a meeting room where two men, both in the middle of their work day, were at.
One of them was sitting at the opposite side of the table of 4, his eyes wide in shock as he took the paper handed to him by a younger man in a plain black hoodie.
"Are you fucking kidding me?!" the older man asked. His voice echoing in the room.
"Does this look like a joke to you? It took time for me to finish this," the younger male answered. His green eyes pierces straight to his colleague, his voice cold as ice.
The man laughed. "No no no... Not you Kairyu," he declared. "This is totally not your style," he smirks, leaning back on his chair.
Kairyu raises his eyebrows. "What's my style then Manager Ito?"
The manager grits his teeth. "Let me spell it out for you," Ito leans forward. "You're the First of FirstGen. The Number One. You're at the pedestal. I mean who does this?!" he grips the paper, waving it to his face. Kairyu remained silent.
"Everyone wants to be like you! To be where you're at! And you have the audacity to take time and fuck with me about resigning?! Come on!" the manager laughs. Ito stood up and paced around the room, enumerating the achievements Kairyu accomplished ever since he joined FirstGen.
" ... sick." Kairyu murmured.
Ito stopped and looked at him." What are you mumbling about?"
"I said," Kairyu replied. "I'm sick and tired of this shit." he non-chalantly declared.
"What?" Ito asked.
"Well, I don't want to be number one anymore. That's about it," he pulls the letter from Ito's hand and pushes it against his chest.
"I'm done here." Kairyu added waving his hand as he left the room.
