Chereads / Why do you have to be my target? / Chapter 3 - I'm sorry

Chapter 3 - I'm sorry

I kept avoiding Eryx since I heard of my newest task. That just stucks to my head. It has not been great. 

*bumps*

"Watch where you're going nerd!"

Avoiding failed-

"No, you watch where YOU are going"

"Can't really see where you're going?"

*took his glasses

"Give me that back!!"

While I was teasing him, I accidentally dropped it and he stepped on it.

"You.."

"I SWEAR I DIDN'T MEAN FOR THIS TO HAPPEN"

"YOU DID IT ON PURPOSE! YOU JERK! WE'RE BARELY GETTING BY AS IT IS! WHY YOU LITTLE..."

I didn't mean it. I'm really sorry this happened. I really do, though he doesn't believe me and thinks I'm some kind of a rich, spoiled kid. It is somewhat true but, I'm definitely not spoiled. 

"I'M TRULY SORRY"

"YOU DON'T MEAN IT A BIT"

I did. All the crying and rage from him turned him into a beast. His eyes gleamed sharp, his teeth grew longer... at that moment, he ran away with tears in his eyes. I didn't know what to do, I really regretted taking his glasses.

Later that evening, I talked to my best buddy, Xen. He's not a field worker due to his lack of abilities in martial arts, but an intel at the agency.

"You didn't mean it"

"of course, I didn't mean it"

"Well, you're rich, right? Buy him new glasses and go apologize to him to show that you really are sorry"

My buddy right here is great with comforting and giving out bits of advice. It's not that I can't plan something, it's just that, if I'm worrying too much, my brain can't handle it and freezes.

I took Xen's advice and bought him a new pair of glasses; I knew the complete detail of how Eryx's glasses are as I'd taken a look at them before dropping, and then went to his house; I got the address from my bud. I knocked on the door, and his mother opened it. I thought to myself, Eryx does look like his mom very much. His mom's name is Silverie Bells Davis, and she has this great feature that I'm sure, her husband went crazy over it.

"Hello there! How may I help you?"

I wanted to say "I broke your son's glasses" but it wouldn't be a good starter, would it? So instead I said:

"I came to give your son something"

His mom called him and when he reached the door, his eyes were giving me death stares. Despite that, he looks really cute in his hoodie- wait, what am I saying? Anyway, stick to the plan.

"To show you how sorry I am, I came to give you this."

He looks confused at first and then accepts it.

"I need not say thanks since you were the one who broke it"

"Fair enough"

I was glad this case was over. But then again..., there's a big task pending at risk.

His mom invited me to dinner after the little sorry gift. I was hungry, after all the research I'd done at the station for a top-secret plan, and had not gone home. Thus, I accepted the invitation. I can tell Eryx was not very thrilled.
