Although he was pretty afraid to discover worse facts regarding this mystic stuff, Tama can't lie to himself that he got hooked with it. "So.... it's real?""The story was real because the crime was all over the news, but for the mystic part? Not sure," Janie expressed her thoughts. "But for certain, I knew that person tried to avoid accountability and shift the blame towards the mythical thing.""Oh..." Hearing that, Tama couldn't express anything but disappointment mixed with sadness. "You know that excuse is so common, right?" Janie changed her tone into a bit more expressive. "It's a classic excuse to get a lighter sentence, or steer the blame. It could be just regular human impulses or emotional outbursts." "They disappeared, right?""Yeah. That clearly shows the person's character to refuse any accountability, never brought up to the court. Unfortunately no one is able to confirm the mystic element tied to our suburb myth is real or not. In this modern age, many people are li

“This is not a child bullying ground!” Tama continued to shout, while the images of that crash were floating in his mind. “Such a childish thing to do!”Of course, what he did now was one of the riskiest things he had ever done in his life, because the gang could easily extort him later. But as an eighteen-year-old who almost died once because of the morning gang activities, Tama couldn’t even think that far. His impulses reached its peak, thinking about the consequences would be the last thing that came to his mind. So upset about this nonstop situation that had almost taken his life, and maybe, others.“Isn’t that Ando’s little brother?” some seller chattered. “What a confrontational kid. Truly, the opposite of Ando.”Despite various mixed comments, many people inside the market were relieved, and the sighs of relief were easily heard on. Now at least someone finally voiced their thoughts about the troublesome bike gang activities, and that kid was Tama.Tama’s action made non gang

V tilted his head, then squinted his eyes. “Not to mention, it’s kinda glowing. Weird.”Tama couldn’t move an inch. His tongue turned heavy. Now he rather V say stuff about that detained courier, anything that indicated the job is done, than anything spiral. Now there’s two choices that flashed in his head: admit it, and look insane; or deny it, and look suspicious.“I think you’re imagining things,” he said finally, with a weak chuckle. Quite literally the last he would speak of. The blur was pretty high. V’s gaze stayed unreadable. “Ah right, maybe that’s true. Things are just getting out of hand since one of us got caught. I'm kinda worried.”He snapped a photo of Tama and the package together so sudden, it startled Tama due zero notice. “Sorry, I’m just taking a proof,” he said. Quickly he stuffed the package into his suitcase. “Gotta head out, there’s no time.”V walking to the bus. And less than 5 minutes later, the bus started its departure.Tama just stood there, staring at

“Tama, what the heck did you do? Don’t you dare go there again.”The moment he picked up, there wasn't a single word of greeting. To be honest Tama didn’t expect Ando to respond that fast, let alone like that. Tama eyes blinked.That wasn’t… anywhere close to the question he texted.He only asked about the green eyes myth. Nothing about the package. Nothing about Rein. Nothing about yesterday.So, how the hell did Ando know?“Can you slow down?” Tama hissed. “What are you even talking about-”“I don’t want you anywhere near that shady business,” Ando cut him off, voice sharp and urgent. “I don’t care how much they’re paying you, just stop.”Tama froze in place.That wasn’t a panic voice. That was a knowledgeable voice tone.“Wait, how do you even know about that? I never told you any of that?” Tama couldn’t properly lie in front of his older brother.Then Ando answered too quickly, followed with a sigh. “My friend told me. You’re messing with dangerous people.”Tama’s eyes narrowed

The screech of modified engines. The familiar, sickening sound of road theft. All of them. Tama froze for a while, his entire body tightened.After diligently collecting money from a source that was stable and legal, he able to save for a new motorbike so he can easily navigate the suburb. Unfortunately, the same group of people who had previously damaged his bike in the market were very preventive to make him own a proper bike, as if they refuse to see him commute.It was no longer about money. It was the suburbs, the gangs, the chaos, and the uselessness of law enforcement screamed directly in his face, dared him to react.He certainly won't die this time. Tama's definitely gonna flip that green-eyed stigma in the suburb society to mess with these young punks!But he's going to make sure that scary "green-eyed" message and bad reputation stick with these guys. It's a wake-up call that their bad deeds in the suburb deserve some payback, and they really need to cut it out! Luck's a fu
