Jack looked at the notification; his heartbeat went haywire. But he calmed down after the sudden rush.
He was on the autobahn; the speed of all the cars was too fast for him to suddenly brake.
Jack then looked at the huge display on his car to see if he could get out of Autobahn to have a meal. It's been almost six hours he was driving.
He was on the outskirts of Munich and on the verge of leaving the autobahn when he glanced at his display, which displayed the navigation app and the map of his surroundings.
Looking around at the map while driving, Jack exited the autobahn and slowed down. Normal streets have a speed limit.
Jack then carefully parked his car on the side of the road to search for the nearest decent restaurant, as he was craving some good beef and seafood.
Mangostin Asia—that's the name came from his searches; it was very close to where Jack drove the car there, and the restaurant was very good-looking.
As a Japanese restaurant that also serves Thai food, Jack was expecting something excellent from here, so he parked the car outside; sadly, there was no valet waiting for him.
As he entered the restaurant, he noticed that all the waitresses were dressed in traditional Japanese attire. Immediately upon seeing him, one of them bowed.
Jack awkwardly bowed back before heading to the reception to request a table.
The receptionist was very hospitable and even helped Jack find his table.
Jack was pleased to find his table in a convenient location with only one seat.
Wood adorned the entire restaurant. The same wood even adorned Jack's table and chair.
After freshening up in the restroom, Jack returned and sat at his table.
A beautiful Japanese girl came smiling at Jack, then presented the menu.
Jack looked at the menus, and as usual, he was hungry, so he ordered.
"Kobe beef tataki," Jack pointed at the beef first; the waitress nodded her head and then wrote the order.
"I don't know any of the drinks here." Jack smiled at the waitress because everything was either Thai or Japanese. Jack is completely unaware of the differences between Thai and Japanese drinks.
"Suggest me a drink," Jack said to the waitress.
"My German is not very good." The waitress then pointed at a drink on the menu and said, "Best."
"Alright, I'll have that." Jack then placed an order for a drink known as 'Juyondai Daiginjo.'
Then he looked around more for sea food; he doubted only the beef could make him full, so he ordered the bigger size of the sashimi platter, which featured pristine cuts of toro, uni, and amaebi, and lastly, he saw a special dessert on the menu, so he ordered two of them.
One for himself; he'll be eating it here; the other he ordered as a parcel, as he has a sickly beauty in his home now. The dessert, known as 'Gold Leaf Sakura Mochi,' is a traditional Japanese treat.
The waitress smiled, and then, with a slight bow, she left with the order.
Jack was browsing his phone when suddenly a hand came and grabbed his phone. Jack wanted to grab the phone, but he was too late. The hand took the phone from his hand.
Jack glanced at the perpetrator and saw the person he least expected to see. It was Ryan.
"Welcome to Munich, my friend; I was waiting." Ryan smiled at Jack dangerously.
"So it's you, Ryan, can I have my phone back?"" Jack smiled back and calmly asked for his phone.
Ryan smiled more widely, then threw Jack's phone in the small pool next to Jack's table.
The whole restaurant looked at them after that, and Jack and Ryan were smiling at each other.
"Do you want to take this outside?" Jack asked with a smile. Jack smiled and asked.
"Bastard, you think you can fool me again?" Ryan gritted his teeth in anger.
"Well, you threw my phone in the water, so we're even," Jack said.
"Even my ass, I'll fuck you up now that you're back in Munich. You don't know who my father is," Ryan said, gritting his teeth so much while talking that spit was coming out of his mouth.
"I'll see you at your new apartment," Ryan calmed down, then threatened Jack.
Jack was not bothered with such lousy threats from Ryan. He was more concerned about his phone than this shitty anger.
Ryan then smiled at everyone who was looking at him as if he were maniac and started to walk out of the restaurant.
Jack stood up and said loudly, "I heard you're never going to be a father again."
Ryan, who was walking outside the restaurant, shivered a little then looked back with bloodshot eyes. Then continued walking.
"Hey, is that true?"
"Come on, which ball has melted?"
"Did your ball fall off or something?"
Jack was actually yelling at Ryan, who had created such a scene to insult him.
After Ryan left the restaurant, Jack smiled at everyone and said, "Sorry about that; he's my best buddy, just angry because I stole his girl."
"That's natural among teenagers." Guest 1
"Ahaha, that boy has a different walking style as if he has no ball." - Guest 2.
"When I was in college, I even fucked my best buddy's mother." Guest 3
"You didn't tell me that; I have had a crush on Mrs. Jones for so long." Guest 4
"But you're a girl. How can you have a crush on her?"" Guest 3
"It doesn't matter. Let's fuck her in the ass, baby. I've got a 10-inch dildo." Guest 4
Jack, hearing the horrifying conversation among the guests was speechless and just calmly sat down.
After eating his beef, the huge patter of sashimi was too much for him to finish, so he took the left-over sashimi for Emma too.
The three gold-wrapped mochis were presented in front of him. It took Jack about 30 seconds to finish off the 100€ mochi.
Jack was a sweet tooth after all; Jack realized he can eat sweet things way more than usual, and he always has a space for sweets in his tummy.
Jack was waiting for the bill, and seeing the bill, Jack smiled. It was almost nothing, only 1200€.
Jack wanted to drink his black bottle of Sake in a small cup-looking thing, but his hand was grabbed by the waitress.
She was shaking her head as if saying, 'Don't drink.'
Jack looked at her strangely, He had never seen a waitress like her before.
"You drive?" With broken German, she asked.
"Yes, I will be driving," Jack nodded his head.
"Don't drink, alcohol." The waitress explained why she didn't let him drink, and after Jack put down the cup, she sighed with relief.
"You're a cute waitress," Jack complimented the waitress, then paid the bill with a card. As his wallet was empty, Jack paid the waitress a 20€ tip.
Then a person came in with his phone, dried as a latest model phone; it was water proof, and the person just smiled at Jack. Jack wanted to thank him for his service, but he just shook his head.
Taking his black bottle of Sake, which had Japanese letters written on it, and his two parcels, he left the restaurant.
Walking towards his car, one of his rearview mirrors was broken, and there was white paper in his wipers.
Putting down things from his hand on the hood, he opened the letter.
Jack thought someone must have accidentally broken it, but then he read the white paper, and his face contoured with anger.
' Welcome to Munich, my friend.'
Jack crumpled the paper in a ball, gritted his teeth, and said loudly, "Ryan!!! Motherfucker."
" Yo! He fucked your mother?" A random person asked who was just walking nearby Jack.
Jack glared at the idiot, spat on the ground out of anger, and drove away.
He visited a repair shop to fix his mirror before returning to his apartment. Jack, exhausted, pressed the calling bell.
The six hours of driving had left him exhausted. Emma was the one who opened the door; she appeared thinner than before, but as soon as she looked at Jack, she smiled.
"Jack, thank you for coming back." She was glad to see Jack again.
"You're welcome. What happened?" Jack gave the items he was carrying to Emma and put down his luggage.
Both sat down in the living room. Emma sat on the couch; she was wearing blue pajamas.
"So how are you? You're getting sick day by day." Jack looked at Emma, who looked considerably thin compared to before.
"Nothing. Just the job is taking its toll," Emma smiled a little and said.
"You're still doing that job? The doctor told you not to do it." Jack said he was concerned about this friend who was so kind to him.
"I know, I have decided to quit the university as it also costs me energy. I've visited the doctor again after you left, and he said there is a medicine for this, but it costs around 20K€, so I look like I've got that amount." Emma smiled briefly before expressing her exhaustion from the situation.
"How about I give you the money?" Jack suggested. Jack wanted to help her out.
Jack muttered in his mind, 'System.'
