"A job in the city?"
A man looked happy when he found out that there was a good job for him in the city. He had just finished college and was looking for work. But because he lived in a small town, it was very difficult to find a job.
"Yes, the job is definitely right for you. Would you like to co and try it?" asked a man on the other end of the phone, who was none other than the man’s cousin.
By coincidence, his cousin, who lived in a big city, said he had a job for him. Of course, the man who received the call could not refuse the offer, and he intended to go to the big city to et his cousin.
"Sure! But I have to ask my parents’ permission first," he said, feeling a little confused.
Would he be allowed to go to the big city, which was a 5 hour drive away?
His parents loved him very much and were very protective of him. Especially since he was the only child in the family. He didn’t have any siblings.
However, his cousin assured him that he would discuss this with his parents.
"I’ll help convince them that you’ll be safe with in the city. Don’t worry, everything will be fine as long as you follow what I say!"
They had known each other since childhood, so he trusted him.
"Alright, I’ll start packing. See you later, Marshal!"
"Sure. I’ll let you know later, Julian."
Julian hung up the phone, then went to his room to start packing his things to go to the city. He knew it would be very difficult to convince his parents, but they would surely believe Marshal’s words.
After all, Marshal was their nephew, the son of Julian’s mother’s older brother.
And sure enough, Marshal managed to convince his parents to allow Julian to go to the city to live with him. The man would be responsible for whatever Julian did in the city.
Of course, this made him very happy. He never thought he would finally be able to go to the big city because he had always wanted to go there.
When he found out that Marshal was finally going to live in the big city, he felt jealous and wanted Marshal to take him there. However, of course, his parents forbade him from going.
But now he could have his freedom.

Tap... Tap tap...
Julian walked out of the bus stop after traveling for almost 5 hours from where he lived. Because the small town where he lived did not have an airport, they still used buses for long distance travel.
Moreover, plane tickets were expensive. Of course, he would choose to use the cheaper bus.
"Finally, I’m here! The big city is really crowded. I hope I can get a good job with a big salary!" he said enthusiastically.
He walked while playing with his cell phone, intending to call Marshal to pick him up.
However, suddenly, in the crowded situation and with things happening so quickly, soone took the phone from his hand and ran away.
He didn’t have ti to react, but Julian imdiately turned around and intended to chase the thief. He had only been in the big city for a few minutes, and soone had already stolen his phone?
"Hey, stop! Stop right there, you thief! Give back my phone!!!" He shouted as he ran after the thief, leaving his suitcase behind.
As he was chasing him, a man with red hair imdiately stopped the thief with a kick.
THUD!
The thief imdiately fell to the floor with a loud noise, causing a commotion and everyone imdiately turned to look at them. Julian was finally able to catch up and imdiately grabbed the thief’s hand.
"How dare you steal my phone! Give it back now!" he said angrily, snatching the phone from him.
Before he could call security, the thief ran away again, but luckily Julian had gotten his phone back. He then turned to the man who had saved him and thanked him.
"Thank you for saving ! You really helped ," he said with a friendly smile.
However, the man looked him up and down with a cynical gaze and then walked away.
"What a pain," said the red haired man before finally getting into his black car and driving away.
Julian furrowed his brow. Why did the man look annoyed even though he had thanked him? He really didn’t understand people in big cities.
"He’s the weird one!" he muttered irritably, then returned to his suitcase and looked for a taxi to take him to his cousin, Marshal’s house.
When he arrived at his cousin’s house according to the address he had been given, he saw a black car that looked familiar.
"Isn’t that the red haired man’s black car? Why is it parked in front of Marshal’s house?" he asked in confusion. But he didn’t think much of it, because he thought everyone must have cars of the sa color.
He then called his cousin to say he was already at the gate.
"Oh, you’re already here? I’ll open the door for you," Marshal replied over the phone before hanging up.
Not long after, a blond haired man appeared from behind the door and imdiately hugged his cousin. Julian felt relieved to finally see Marshal again, especially since he was quite scared to be alone in the big city.
"Don’t be afraid, you’ll be safe here as long as I’m with you. Co on in, my friends are inside."
"Is it okay that I ca while your friends are visiting? I’m afraid I might be interrupting your ti together," said Julian, but Marshal said it was fine.
In fact, he wanted Julian to et his friends because there was sothing he wanted to discuss with them. At first, Julian didn’t understand why his cousin wanted him to et his friends. Could it be that his friends would give him a job?
Or maybe sothing that Julian had never imagined he would get after arriving in the big city.
Sothing that would change his life, perhaps only temporarily or forever.
When they arrived in the living room, they heard the voices of three n chatting. Julian seed hesitant to join them, but Marshal said they would welco him, so he joined them.
"Hey, friends, my cousin has arrived from the small town! I hope you don’t mind him joining us!"
"Of course not! Co on, join us!" they replied, except for one person who just sat quietly drinking his drink.
As soon as he entered the living room, his gaze imdiately fell on a red haired man he had t at the bus stop an hour ago.
"Wait, you are..."
