"Eh, will this bring trouble to you?" said Ruan with a worried look.
The beautiful lady trembled as she was overwhelmed by the situation. Her eyes turned glossy as tears rolling out from the edges of her iris. The warm current basked her red cheeks but she put so much effort to smile.
Ruan looked at her trembling shoulders as his heart sunk. He accidentally put the beautiful lady in front of him in a trouble. This hoax would surely threaten her job within the TV media she was working on. He was nervous but a notification tune from his special phone was playing.
"Ah, um, wait a sec," said Ruan while he bowed hurriedly.
He turned around before he opened up the special phone like a student who was about to cheat his test.
Quest: Save the reporter.
Rank: E
Reward: 30 LP
Ruan furrowed his eyebrows as looked at the quest. No matter how many creases there were on his forehead at the moment. He only had one idea of what saving meant in this situation. A career.
(This one is going to be tough to handle though) thought Ruan as he read the reward and the rank quest.
He let out a sigh before he turned around and saw the beautiful lady was holding her left chest. She was palpitating with his breathing becoming uneven. Her panting was dangerously at a severe rate as she couldn't handle her own balance.
"What the..."
Ruan could see her eyes were getting out of focus as she wobbled forward and fell to his arms. Her partner immediately turned off and put down the camera before he shouted her name, "Rue!"
Ruan was shaking her figure whilst asking, "What, what's wrong with her?!"
"Her condition is acting up, she had a heart attack not too long ago when our media was having a vacation for the employees. I guess the stress of the-"
Ruan's eyebrows furrowed like a sword as he looked at her partner before he grabbed his collar with one hand and smashed his chin with his forehead. The man immediately fell to the ground with some of his teeth chipped off. Blood was running out of his mouth in his disbelief. He covered his mouth with his hands in fear.
"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING THEN? LETTING THIS LADY DO REPORT ON A FIELD?!" shouted Ruan in rage.
"Not only that, you intentionally make footage so that your program could be the talk of the town! Without upholding the truth! You are one of those corrupt sensational pers that do nothing but profit!"
"You sickened me," said Ruan before he spat on his face.
(What is this? It feels so fulfilling) thought Ruan as his emotion, mind, and action were in perfect harmonious sync. He had no idea that this was the first spark, the first glimpse that the Ruan he buried deep under the disappointment against the world around him.
"STOP SITTING THERE LIKE AN IDIOT AND CALL THE FUCKING AMBULANCE!" shouted Ruan.
Her partner immediately pulled out his phone with his trembling hands and dial the emergency number. Meanwhile, Ruan took out the special phone and immediately entered the inventory tab. He tapped the only item he had and scanned the flat surface area of the road before the health potion manifested.
He bit the corked out with a popping noise before he muttered, "Please work!"
He turned her body around before he gently guided her neck so that she looked up with her mouth opened. He poured the red potion to the last drop of the tube glass but it didn't traverse through her throat.
"Shit," muttered Ruan before he laid her rest on the road whilst keeping the potion inside her mouth.
He gulped before he knelt and looked at her 'O' face. (What the fuck am I doing, I don't have time to be amazed how my first kiss would turn out with a beautiful lady!) thought Ruan before he went for it.
"Nice," said Ruan's father who was suddenly already by his side.
Ruan's mother squatted with her hands supporting her head. She thoroughly looked at the woman that Ruan was giving a CPR for. This was the universal instinct of the world's mother. She already judged her future in-law even before she knew her name nor did the lady herself knew she was in a trial.
She raised her eyebrows before she nodded, "Hmm, not bad, not bad."
Ruan furrowed his eyebrows as black lines covered his head. Never did he thought that his first kiss would be witnessed by his own parents and a bleeding cameraman that was on a call.
The potion entered her body like a stream of a miracle.
(What's this, what is this feeling...) thought Rue as she awoke in her consciousness. The foreign taste that entered her body was magical. Her blood streamed like a waterfall that couldn't end. The heart was pumping to a normal rate as her brain received the supply it needed.
(Amazing, it's... it's really soothing) thought Rue before her eyes fluttered. She slowly opened her eyes and the scenery was still blurry. She heard the engine of a car and the siren of an ambulance. Slowly she noticed the light on the roof and the bleeding cameraman on her right with a pair of paramedics on each of his sides.
(Ah, I see so it act up again) thought Rue as she smiled helplessly. She felt weak and her arms felt quite heavy.
The paramedics saw she was getting her consciousness back before one of them said, "Don't worry, you are going to be alright."
She couldn't even smirk. How many times did she hear that words before? She couldn't count as tears escaped her eyes. She lamented the fate that she was living as the siren of the ambulance slowly turned silent on the road to the hospital.
Ruan was watching the emergency vehicle gradually turned smaller before it took a left turn.

The notification tune was played as he knew that he fulfilled the quest.
