The girl told Ajin to follow her. Ajin found that girl stranger than the old man on the phone who called him, but he had nothing to do except follow her. The girl took Ajin to the kitchen, "why are you taking me to the kitchen, huh?" said Ajin, the girl did not say anything she moved forward and opened a cupboard in which a cylinder was kept, and behind the cylinder, there was a square box which was engraved into the wall.
The girl pressed the red button, and a door opened behind Ajin. Ajin was too stunned to see this, then the girl said to him, "Go inside, the boss is waiting for you," and she left. Ajin was a bit scared but was curious too. He went towards the secret door and suddenly the door closed.
Inside, an old man was sitting on a sofa. He was wearing all black, with chains around his neck and metal rings on his fingers.
Ajin finally speaks, "Sawadi khrup (hello), are you the one who was on the phone yesterday?" The old man replies, "Where were you? You are late for your interview Ajin." "I was with my friend, so it took a while for me to come here. Also, this is my first time at this cafe, so I couldn't find the location as well," Ajin replied.
"Were you with your friend 'white'?" the old man asked
It shocked Ajin
"How did you know that? Did you keep a spy on me or what"
The old man continued, "Let's come to the point Ajin, you want a job and I want you to work for me. I will give you enough salary that satisfy all your needs"
"What kind of job is this?" Ajin asked
"I will give you missions and you have to complete the mission, that's it"
Ajin again questioned, "What kind of mission"
The old man replied with a tense voice, "Find 'ENIGMA'"
Ajin was confused, "Who is Enigma? And why are you asking me to find Enigma?" Ajin asked anxiously.
"First, let me ask you something. Do you want to find the person you keep seeing in your dreams? No need to look shocked. We think the person in your dreams is related to this Enigma"
"How- umm, how do you know this? ," Ajin's blood was boiling. "TELL ME!! HOW THE FUCK DO YOU KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT ME WHEN I DON'T EVEN FULLY UNDERSTAND IT!," Ajin yelled.
" There is no need to shout' the old man cut sharply. His voice suddenly became glacier, and Ajin's spin shivered. "I will give you further information in the coming months, as well as your training for your missions," he concluded.
"If it's related to the person in my dreams, then I'll do it," Ajin muttered, not looking up.
The old man smirks, "You seem dedicated towards work and also you want to find Enigma too"
"You will get further information from the girl who bought you here. She will give you a phone call. Don't worry, she already has your number. ," This is some fucked up shit. Ajin wants to shout so loud, but he doesn't want to hear the impersonal voice of the old man again.
The door opened. Ajin went outside the door but the old man stopped him by saying, "I will give you your salary as per your dedication towards work and how you will do your work"
Ajin nodded and came out of that secret door and the door disappeared suddenly. When he was leaving the cafe, the girl gave him a side eye and smirked.
'The girl is really weird, he thought to himself and left the café
He was moving towards the parking lot when white's call arrived. "hello khrup," Ajin said
White, with a tuneful voice, started to ask a series of questions to him, "Ajin, is that you? How are you? And what about the job? Is that old man strange? Did he kidnap you? Tell me where are you I am coming there. Why are you not answering? Are you-"
Then Ajin finally spoke "Calm down white just let me speak first, I am fine and I will tell you everything at your cafe I am coming OKAY!. White replied "Umm, okay na kha"
Ajin drove to white's café thinking about that old man and girl and the main question 'Who the f*ck is Enigma?' and why that old man said he wants to find Enigma too.
He just didn't understand anything. He reached the café where white was doing a part-time job. She saw Ajin entering the cafe and immediately rushed towards him to check if he was injured or hurt, asking, "Are you okay?"?" Are you injured?"
"I am fine" and he told white everything that happened in Gorya's café.
White was too stunned to speak. She was all. Confused she too was speechless to, say anything then Ajin said by reading her face.
"Who the hell is this Enigma?" Ajin said frustrated. "Like he can't be a human. He has to be a supernatural spirit or a ghost"
"I don't know, it has to be a disguise of a person he/she to survive," white replied
They were silent for a minute, each drowned in their thought
" So, my new boss said that I will have missions about god knows what," he said lazily
"Oh," She said absentmindedly, then pleaded "OH! Can I come with you? Please please please" She did her puppy eye thing, which Ajin found adorable then—
"NO!" he said, "Of course you can't, like there could be anything. I would not risk you"
"So, now put me in your shoes. How would you feel if I went to some unknown place when I don't have a clue what to do," she said in a breath.
"Oh, come on, don't be such a mom. I will survive and I know what I am doing and they said they will give me training ."
But white didn't look convinced, "You will tell me before you go and call me as soon as you're out"
"Okay, ma," he said mockingly.
White just rolled her eyes and made him make a pinky promise
They had coffee while white told him about Nai and Ajin felt good.
