My name is Hazuki Mao, twenty-eight.

"Is this enough?"

She took five bills of ten thousand yens from quite a fashionable-looking, pinking wallet. Holding it in front of me.

"Sorry about this. I'll pay you back next time."

I sheepishly smiled, scratching my head. And with one single quick move, I took and sliding it into my jeans pocket.

And I'm unemployed.

I wasn't a scumbag, leeching of other women by choices at all.

I used to have a stable job, lived in a forty story building apartment next to the harborside.

Till my dad's company went bankrupt.

He silently flees with my mom to the overseas and leaving my address, phone number, even my picture to those shark loans.

They are the best parents of the year, aren't they!? Leaving the debt for their daughter.

Thanks to them, my life completely turned upside-down. Those sharks loan harassed me by sending emails, calling me while I'm at work. And it kept getting annoying day by day. I had no choice but to quit my job, ran away from them to small hometown no-name and to the big city crowded with people, by trains or on foot.

Even if I cut my hair short, dressing up as a guy, some might still see-through my disguise, recognized me. It was hard for me to look for a proper part-time job.

So to live through hellhole times, I decided to become a gigolette!

How smart am I?! Or so I thought...

After leaving my mistress place, I received a phone call from another mistress that I've recently met. She wanted to see me at the park at 5 PM.

Just as I was wondering where should I sleep tonight?

"Where is she anyway?"

I had arrived at the park, the meeting spot, and it was past 6 o'clock.

Yet there's no sign of her, even a phone call.

"Did I mishear her about the meeting spot?"

As I took out my phone, right behind me, I can hear someone's voice... No, I can feel their breathing.

I panicked turning around with a twitch before I did fully realize what has just happened; a heavy, dull sound that seemed to echo down to the core of my body.

I can't tell whether I'm hot or cold. It felt as if something hard and sharp has been forcefully wedged into my stomach. Surprisingly, there was no pain. Just the feeling of the blood draining from my entire body and a sudden attack of sleepiness.

'Oh! I'm gonna die.'

I think this unconsciously without fully grasping what is going on.

I felt the strength suddenly leave my legs simultaneously, and something being pulled from my stomach.

My body leaned forward.

'Oh no! I'm going to hit my head.'

I think this, but I was unable to move my hands to block my fall. THUD.

There was no pain, just a nasty sensation in my stomach. Then, there is the sensation of something slippery seeping out of me and spreading across the top of the earth.

My stomach feels sick. I think I'm gonna throw up...

Footsteps closed in on me while I'm on the ground. A small voice vaguely reached me.

"You liar... you say that I was the only one you had your eyes on. How... how could you?"

My vision became blurry, I couldn't see a damn thing besides the blood-red stained grow deeper. But I can tell who voices was it. I just wryly smiled, accept my death.

Guess... what goes around comes around.

I then felt at ease, realize that there was no need for me to carry huge loans any longer. And I hoped the next moment I opened my eyes again, I will live a much better life than this.

Slowly, my eyesight grew darker and darker. Till I can't hear anything. I can't feel anything but my consciousness ebbing away.
