CHAPTER 7: LET ME
"I'm sorry sir but there's nothing more we can do." The doctor looked at his patient apologetically as he sat on his chair.
The patient stood up and smiled at him. "I seems that I'll have to spend my days wisely."
The doctor studied his patient for a while before he nodded. He stood up and shook is patient's hand. "Be careful on your way home sir." He smiled.
It's almost nightfall. The people gathered in the park were slowly decreasing... until nobody's left; except for the person who is sitting on top of the tree while watching people come and go.
Two months. I only have two months to spend my time in this world. He thought and jumped off of the tree.
He straightened up and sighed. "Well then, I better start planning for my bucket list." He said out loud and started walking out of the park.
I wonder what I will have to do first. Skiing or -
*growls*
"Geez... Thinking a lot really makes me hungry." He looked around for a place to eat.
He found a nearby café and decided to eat there.
He was finishing his meal when someone approached him.
"Excuse me sir, may I have a minute with you?" he heard someone asked.
He turned his head and saw a boy with brown hair and green eyes. The boy gave him a friendly smile.
"May I sit here?" He studied the boy from head to toe. A cosplayer? he thought before he nodded.
The boy sat in front of him.
"I'm Yuki Shirasaki from Kronos Heaven Company. Mr. -" He said formally.
"Satoshi. Inoue Satoshi" he said after swallowing the last piece of his bread.
"Well, nice to meet you Mr. Inoue. You see – I'm a wandering salesman who likes to offer our company's best and most affordable products." He smiled widely.
Satoshi''s brow twitched. So that's what he is. I should have known. He thought while he faked a smile.
He studied the boy again. So, he's a cosplayer and a salesman? But - how could he be a salesman if he's just a kid? he thought.
"Wait a minute, you're a salesman at that age?" he raised a questioning brow at him.
Yuki tilted his head and gave him a questioning look. "What's wrong with my age?
"Base on your height and that childish face - you're 11." He simply stated.
Yuki covered his mouth with his hand, trying to stop his laughter.
"What's so funny?" Satoshi asked before he took a sip on his drink.
"Well, you see – I'm already 19." He stated in a matter of fact tone.
Satoshi looked at him, amused. What the-? He's 2 years older than me? He thought.
"So, Mr. Inoue, do you want a permanent hair dye?"
He shook his head.
"How about instant muscle capsules? It's better than a steroid. It doesn't have any side effects." Yuki said while handing him over the capsules.
He shook his while waving a hand in front of him.
"An all in one make up for your mom or sister?"
he shook his head again and this time his brows are twitching. Somehow, he's regretting his earlier decision. Man, this cosplaying salesman is realy persistent.
"How about…" Yuki looked at him slyly.
"A condom and a vibrator in one?" he smiled ishyly.
"What do you think of me? a love slave?" he said angrily.
"I'm sorry sir but – please, this is my first time being a salesman. Name any products you like and I'll give you a discount. A super super discount." He begged.
"Don't want to." He slowly stood up and glanced at him.
"But sir..." he stood up.
Persistent much? he thought.
"Fine then, if you have a product that can extend a life of a person, I'll surely buy it." He said and started to walk away.
He was three steps away from the salesman when he heard him smirked. "Is that it? You should have said sooner."
When he turned. Yuki was already beside him, holding up a silver card. He took it and noticed that there was an address written.
"If you want to live long, go to that address. I'll wait for you." he said and started to walk pass him. He stopped a few inches away from him. He looked at Satoshi over his shoulder. "That is... if you want to take the risks." he winked at him and went outside the cafe.
Satoshi lied on his bed while staring at the silver card that the salesman gave yesterday. "If you want to live long, go to that address. I'll wait for you." Those words echoed through his head. He really wants to live but - the story of his life was about to end. He's body is getting weaker and weaker everyday.
Two months. Damn! It's too short for me. Who'll protect my little sister? Who'll take care of her? Damn it! He thought angrily. He has two months to live and he doesn't know how to spend his time. He was so worried about his little sister.
When his time comes, who'll be there for her when she feels down? Who'll be the person to love her as much as he does? These are the questions running through his mind. Their parents were still alive but they never came home ever since their business became a success. That's why he's the only one who's taking care of his little sister.
He smirked and scratched the back of his head. What now? He thought as he tossed the card in front of him. He stared at it for a while, marveling the details it had. Maybe it's okay if – he chuckled.
"Am I this desperate to live? When did I sink this low?" he thought loudly. Well - If it's about money, he won't have a problem about it. His family owns three hotels in Japan and other five outside the country.
He has everything, money, looks, land… he's even the smartest boy in his class but… he knew that something is missing. Something that he'll never realize until he discovered his sickness. He never had a – girlfriend.
Being a successor of his parent's hotel is really tough. That's why he doesn't have any time to be serious about girls nor have them.
Right now – he doesn't care getting a girlfriend because for him, the only girl in his life was his little sister.
He slowly stood up and went outside his apartment with one thing on his mind.
It's worth a try. God, will you let me?
