For some reason, I didn't want to go home and wanted to explore the environment some more.
I told the driver to drop me off and instructed the security guards to stay in.
I wanted to get a bit of fresh air and they obliged, they were like puppets that did everything I said.
It was just as expected, I got stares and looks from everyone, they couldn't take their eyes away from me and I chuckled at the absurdity.
They must have thought I was some sort of celebrity but who could blame them for seeing the kind of car I had just exited?
This was the fancy part of town and I could see actual MILFS looking at me with gazes that were impure.
My driver drove off and I expected them to follow me around to make sure I was safe but for some reason, they did none of that but that was only because unlike where I had lived in the past.
"Goddamn, this place is beautiful," I muttered to myself, taking in the environment but I saw a restaurant, it was one of those restaurants you see every time on social media as people often visited it just to take pictures of their food or whatnot.
I never understood why people did that to be honest, I always assumed that it was a marketing ploy but apparently, it was simply to score some cool points.
I walked into the restaurant and even though the air was different, everything hit me at once and I thought I had entered another universe.
However, I saw a long ass line of people that had made reservations weeks prior.
This was to be expected but I didn't have any reservations unfortunately so I probably couldn't eat. That was what one would think, no?
I was wrong because before I knew it, I was approached with haste by a waitress, the people on the line all looked at me, wondering who I was to get such treatment.
"Sir Minsuk! It is an honour to have you with us today!" The waitress welcomed me.
"You know me?" I questioned whether she could give me some answers regarding my identity.
"Of course!" She was so excited that one would think it was genuine but I knew this was eye service, this was how they made ends meet.
Serving rich assholes with a smile on their face, I didn't know if this was happiness or torture but I was leaning towards the latter.
She took me to one of the best seats in the restaurant, I would give the receptionist a 10/10 if anything else.
"Do you want the usual?" She questioned but I didn't know what kind of food this body had digested but considering the way I was built, something told me that my diet played a big part in it.
"You know what? Yes, I will have the usual," I responded but the waitress was surprised for some reason but she soon snapped out of it.
"Pardon me! I will get you that right away!" She responded before she walked away.
I caught a glimpse of her behind stacked in that black skirt, it looked plump despite her slender frame but her chest didn't match the size.
She had an innocent face but I knew better than to assume she was innocent.
I wonder, if I was to follow her to the back, could I have my way with her?
Something told me she wouldn't refuse me but I also couldn't be too sure.
"Hey Minsuk!? Is that you?" An unfamiliar voice called out, I turned around to see an individual approximately my age approaching me.
"Um…" I muttered, having no idea what to say but it would be rude to say I didn't know him seeing as I didn't know his relationship with this Minsuk individual.
But the closer he got, the more dangerous he appeared as I could see a tattoo running down his neck. There is no sane high school student who would have a tattoo on his body unless he was a delinquent.
A stereotype, I know but every stereotype held some form of truth in them and this was most likely the case here.
He sat opposite me without even taking permission but once again, I didn't know the kind of relationship Minsuk had with him.
"What do you want?" I asked and judging from his lack of response, this was clearly something that Minsuk would have said.
"C'mon, man! I missed you, ever since I was released from jail, you have been giving me the cold shoulder," The man blurted out.
"Wait, did he just fucking say jail!? Minsuk, what kind of lunatics are you hanging around!?" I thought to myself and began to question why I was reincarnated into this particular body.
Why couldn't I have been given someone without a past or drama that followed them?
"I'm here to eat, can we talk about this later?" I requested, looking at him right in the eyes.
I had to fake the confidence I didn't have because there was something foul about this man that I didn't want to tempt.
"Minsuk…" His tone changed and I could recognize it, from someone who has been bullied for years, I knew when someone was about to get hostile.
"Is this how you treat someone that took the fall for your ass? You haven't held up your end of the bargain," The man said, his dead black eyes looking right into my soul.
"Bargain?" I thought to myself, it couldn't be money because Minsuk was filthy rich.
There was no way in hell that money would be the problem so what is it that this person wanted?
Either way, I knew he couldn't lay a hand on me, not here or I could simply step out of whatever bargain I had made and something told me that would be a lose-lose situation.
"Remind me about this bargain…" I didn't break eye contact even though I wanted to piss myself off.
However, I knew it was important to not show any sign of weakness or he would pounce.
"Here is your food, sir," The waitress dropped a plate in front of Minsuk before looking at the man seated across from him.
She returned her attention to Minsuk but Minsuk knew she was nonverbally asking if she should get security but the last thing he needed was attention.
"I will leave you to enjoy your meal. I will be in touch," The man said before walking out.
I didn't know what the deal he had with Minsuk was but this was beginning to look like trouble.
The waitress asked if I wanted anything else but I was good, I won't lie.
The food before me didn't look appealing but I knew there had to be sacrifices made to maintain this body and if this was one of those sacrifices, consider it sacrificed.
