"Blacktip..."
Lucas muttered that word for a few seconds before just scoffing it off like another tiny event in life. Next, he quietly grabbed his baggage and entered the room upstairs.
It was a middle-class family modern-style house, and Lucas was now occupying the best room in there. The room has shelves for books or some decorations, a nice double-size bed, and a cool big glass window with sliding function.
The size of the room was quite great too. Lucas was absolutely satisfied, and after placing his luggage on the bed, he started to arrange his things, like placing the clothes in the attached cupboard.
Along the way, he took out some group photos of his old friends and buddies, placing them over the wall and the table as a part of his life and memory. After taking a long look at those pictures, he removed his coat and equipped himself with some light casual clothes, a simple soft green sweater, and matching cream pants comfortable for winter, and left the room.
Lucas arrived downstairs, and his attention automatically moved over Ethan, who was muttering crap inside that storage room like a fool easily visible from the space in the door.
"Fuck! I can't believe I sold my soul for just $50! This is humiliation for my ancestors! But he's the same blood, so it might actually not, but still, it hurts my pride! Now where to hide my treasures before arranging my new room?"
"..."
Lucas ignored it all after a blank stare. Next, taking a glance at time on his phone, Lucas opened up the door to Ethan's new room and immediately questioned
"Do you know where any convenience stores are available in this nearby area?"
Lucas casually questioned, but Ethan, on the other hand, was caught off-guard in the middle of the muttering session and immediately retorted with an enraged barrage of shouting.Β
"What the hell!? I'm letting you stay for now! But that doesn't mean you can invade my privacy! How dare you step inside my room?"
"Like this"
Lucas's gaze and tone changed again to that of a beast as he casually stepped further inside the room, almost threatening poor Ethan to be even more intimidated.
"Con-comvinence store, right?! You said you wanted to go to a convenience store, right? You can go to left from here and move right on 3 turns; you will be there in a few metres; it's just 15 minutes away from here."
"I see, thanks for the info."
Lucas nodded and tightly shut the door of his room. He left the house, and as per the information, he arrived at the place he wanted to go.
It was a great convenience store in the middle of several other shops and showrooms. The streets were kind of crowdy because it was normal time for most schools and offices to end. The sky was red because of sunset time, and under the shade of that reddish sky, Lucas started to get more and more attention, especially from women on the street.
"Gasp! Was he a model?"
"Holy shit! The golden height! He's huge! Look at how other boys are compared to that one!"
"Easily over 6'2! But look at the good quality of his hair and dressing sense! Kyaaa!!!"
"Definitely! There must be some foreign celebrity!"
The streets were filled with bright eyes the moment they said Lucas would walk by. He was a bit awkward with all this but remained constant and finally entered the convenience store by himself.
"Do people really stare at others so openly like this? What the hell?"
Lucas was a bit grossed out by all those gazes and unnecessary attention he never asked for and immediately started to move around in the store, picking up things he wanted for the night while outside the store.Β
"Oh my! Oppas and Unni! Thank you so much for your kind donations! I'm out here again in the streets to try out the restaurant you recommended! I hope the streak is nice, but since it's the 'Bro_King' who recommended it, I won't think too much! But..."
From the looks of it, she was a steamer, dressed up in fancy, expensive-looking clothing with her phone on a selfie stick. It was easy to identify her as a steamer.
Her way of dressing was quite elegant, and her soft white milk-like face skin was even more attractive. She was easy to stand out even in a crowd of thousands. She definitely was fit for her career, but right now she was a bit more focused on the sudden density of people around the convenience store and a few high school girls talking with great excitement.
"You see him, right? You see him?! Kya! Were his eyes and hair really natural?"
"Ah! That jawline and face shape are sharper than some knives in the kitchen, hahaha!"
"Reaaally~! Is he some idol?"
"Ah! I should have taken a picture to search for it later."
The steamer was easily attracted by their mutterings and laughs, while her own stream chat was filled with questions.
[??????]
[Handsome? Someone handsome?]
[Siha! Go!!! Fast! Check up on the place.
Unni is begging you! [We might actually get to see some idols outside!]
The chat was filled with such excited comments, and it wasn't too weird. Steamers are always hungry for content, and social media is all about popularity, so what can be better content than beauty and wealth?
"Don't worry, minions! I, Siha Park, the social investigator, will immediately investigate."
There was a clear, wide grin stuck on her face, her head filled with new content and more ringing donations in her stream, and she immediately rushed towards that area, but there were still a few thoughts in her mind.
'Content! Content! Handsome content! Great content! Great content! More view! More views, more money! Hahaha! But idols don't randomly pop into such localities, no less...
But people here are talking with such excitement? Even idols and celebrities aren't that great eye catchers. With a little light and makeup, anyone can look like a celebrity, but to be catching so much attention without even trying
Could he possibly be the one? I have just heard of it, but...'
Siha's thoughts were still processing, but the confusion and uncertainty weren't left unanswered for long because, as soon as she struggled her way through the standing crowd, her gaze landed directly over Lucas, grabbing some candy bars in the store inside.
"Ohh..."
Siha was taken aback by that appearance. Momentary dazed, she herself kept watching Lucas inside doing his business. The eyes were sparking with that feeling she had long forgotten in life, while her stream was in absolute chaos, just like her mind right now.
[Ooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh!!!!]
Holy fucking mother of Jesus! [What an actual fuck!!!!]
Is that shit real? [Is that bright aura of a god real?]
[Shut up and take my money!] [Get his phone number at any cost!!!]
[Take my money!] I'm gay! My sister is straight! I want it for my sister! My sister! Hah! Hah! [Take my money and get close!!!]
[10,000 won has been donated!]
[50,000 won has been donated!]
[$99,999 has been donated!]
[5000 won has been donated!]
Siha was finally knocked back to conciseness by ringing notifications of sponsored money in her stream. She was easily one of the best streamers in the nation, but even this sudden stream of money in her pocket was a bit crazy to her.Β
"Ah? Ah yes! Right! Let's get a closer view when he comes out! No matter how good the gold is, it's still a manner to not disturb the store owners, right?"
Her composure was still a bit weak, and while maintaining that shaking grin on her face with an increasing view count, she adjusted her arm sleeves a bit while taking a look at her hair strands on her face.
"I'm ready! I'm ready! Hmm hmm!!!"
Siha prepared herself as if she were going to war, and just as she turned back right in front of the convenience store's door, Lucas was suddenly seen coming out along with some shopping items in his hand.
"Ah?!"
Siha's all-out preparation went down the drain the moment she saw Lucas standing right in front of her with wide eyes looking at her in confusion and sort of surprise.
'Why is jumping around like a monkey in the middle of the street like that? Is she a possibility?
Lucas was quick to notice, as Siha was still looking straight in his eyes, almost paralyzed. Lucas's gaze went over the phone she was holding towards her face, with dozens of comments rushing into the screen.
"A steamer?"
"Ah! Yes! I'm steamer Siha Park! Very nice meeting you!!!"
"Same, I'm Lucas Kim."
Lucas was a bit awkward with his greeting as his attention was slightly over the comments rushing on her screen.
[Oh my God!!!! Handsome oppa looked at me!!!]
[Holy crap! The perfection! The perfection!]
[Hehehe! To tell you all the truth, I'm an art student! I can draw anything! A-n-y-t-h-i-n-g! Hahaha!]
[Send me oiled-up nudes!!!]
Lucas's eyes twitched watching those wild comments, but Siha, as a professional, was quick to react and immediately questioned to avoid his attention on comments over the screen.
"Hahaha! Perhaps you are a trainee?! I actually come by this street a lot, but I never saw you in this area."
"I'm not from here; I was raised in a foreign country. I'm new here, so..."
Lucas just answered, and next, as if trying to avoid it, he immediately bade her farewell.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm carrying some shopping items today. Then let's meet again someday since you come by this region a lot."
"Oh! Yes! But can I have your number before that?"
By the time her words came out, Lucas had already long left the place without any trace, leaving Siha alone, standing in the middle of the crowd in an awkward stance.
"He's fast..."
[We lost him]
[We did...]
[Lost...]
[...]
The stream comments went down quite a bit, while Lucas, who had already left the crowdy area, finally stopped in front of a bit of a bright area in the street.
"Am I a weird one? I guess I'm not just yet accustomed to Korean culture... It gets really crowded here; I need a"
As Lucas was muttering, his gaze fell over the bike showroom right beside where he was standing, specifically the one bike model.Β
"Perfection..."
