Megumi lay there in the bed, looking up at the ceiling. A single drop of tear dropped down from his eyes

He likes to think of himself as a strong person. From his childhood, he went through so many shitty things that if starts to mention it, it'll probably make a book of itself

But now, it was just getting too much

It's not the problem that he hates his father, his house, his life, but now he started to hate himself

He started to dump all his baggage on the only person who ever cared for him. His best friend, the love of his life, Yuji

It's like he is turning into a monster like his sperm donor and that's what's bothering him. Will he ever stop this, will there ever be an end to this?

Will his life go with self Loth?

He couldn't think anymore. It felt like his head was gonna burst and he hated it

But before he could use a sleeping pill to force himself to forget everything and sleep for a bit, he decided he didn't want to feel numb today

He looked at his phone for a solid second before grabbing it and dailing a number

It rang once twice, before getting picked up

"Hey there pretty boy, how can I help you today?"

A voice spoke in a voice that was enough for someone to cum in his pants

The voice that holds sensuality like he'd never experienced with any woman before

And even though Megumi wouldn't really admit it out loud but if he was straight, he'd go for this girl years ago

"Hey Sue... I need you.."

Is all he said and he heard her giggle

A giggle that could bring any man in this world down to their feet to become nothing more than her dog

"This is getting a little old, Megs. But of course. And you know what, I might need you today too"

A small but genuine smile came to his lips

"Oh? Hectic day at work?"

"Are you gonna talk about everything in the call or actually come? Hmm~~~"

That's all he needed

Megumi looked at his wall clock, it was 3 am in the morning

He grabbed his hoodie and hopped off the balcony,

yep you heard it right, from the balcony

He jumped from the second floor. Something he was used to doing often

In a cold winter night, he walked in his oversized hoodie to an abandoned building. To others, it might be horrifying to come in this place at such a dark night

There is no singn of life, just the quiet sounds of crickets

It was comforting to him

To be in a place where no one loves you, no one hates you, no one acknowledges your existence

Just what he needs

He sat on the second floor of the building, opening a pack of beers

He sat there in silence for a second before he heard a car pull up, after a minute or so, he started hearing her heels clicking on the rusty floor

"You're late"

Is the first thing what he said, but not Annoyed at the slitest. Because he was smiling

Because only she could make him smile so genuinely

Only her and his Yuji

Then he heard it again, her giggle that is well capable of making the most capable men weak on their knees

"Sorry dude, when you're a lawyer -

"I know, I know, you don't have the right time outside the courtroom. Come on now, sit down "

He said and he looked back at the most attractive woman he ever known, his best friend, higurama Hisae

When she sat down beside him, he looked at her

He had to ask himself, how in the name of heaven and hell that she could look so good at such a late time

Anyone who saw her for the first time would think she just woke up from her eight hours beauty sleep, she looked that beautiful and rejuvenated

But he knows damn well this girl didn't know what 6 hours of sleep is since she was probably 16, now she is 18

Now you might be thinking how they became best of friends right

Well they became friends when they were in elementary school. Both of them were the weird kids

He would be the kid who's always quiet, never wears a clean uniform and never ties his shoe laces in any school day

She was the kid who was always late in courtesy of her single father who had to juggle work and taking care of her

So they both were cornered by the other students and deemed as the weird one

From then on, their friendship begin. She was a person he looked up to and a person he knew he can rely on no matter what

She was the first one he came out to, the first one he came and cried to when he was forced to join a modeling agency, the first one he came to when he thought nothing was worth it

Even though they were a year apart, it never felt like she was older then him. She never judged him, she's probably one of the only if not the only thing that's good in his life

Today, how ever, the first thing she did was to tsk

"Boy, you have some guts, you're drinking alcohol EBT though you're a minor Infront of a lawyer... Tsk, tsk. Either you're really stupid or you just want to go to jail"

Saying this, both of them bursted out laughing

Yes, it might come as a shocker that a stunning woman like her is not a model or actress, she's a lawyer

You heard him right

She was attending the best law school of Japan and working in her father's law firm as an intern to gain more knowledge and experience

Don't get fooled by Megumi's description. She's not only just beautiful, but extremely wise, cunning and capable

The definition of beauty with a brain

As a lawyer, she was very capable. Till now, she didn't lose a single case since she joined her father's firm. Which is also one of the best firms of Tokyo, operated by her Dad, Higurama Hiromi

As they chuckled for a bit before calming down, Hisae gave him a wink and shushed his lips

"But since I love you so much, I'll let it slide this time"

He just chuckled before handing her a bear can

"Okay dude, now tell me what happened"

So he did

He told her everything. How everyone was pressuring him to get a girlfriend and everything

This is what they did. They met up in the dark nights, just to vent out each other's life issues

To Megumi, Hisae was his escape. To Hisae, Megumi was her freedom

Even though they have completely different life now, they fulfilled each other to this day

"Shesh... You've always got it hard buddy... I really feel bad for you. I'm just waiting for you to become eighteen "

She said, taking a sip of her cold drink

"Yeah.... I guess. I can't wait to leave that he'll hole and move in with you"

Yes, that was the plan. Megumi would leave the house the day he turns 18 and would probably even take Yuji with him, if he wants to and move in with Hisae

That's what always has been the plan since he was 10

Her father already knew their situation so it wasn't really a big deal. He liked Megumi too and told him his door is always open for him

That's why he's been doing all this modeling, even though he hates it. Overnight, he'll also stop being a model. He would change his name and do something he always wanted to

He would follow his passion of being a veterinarian doctor

He loves animals and they give him joy like no one does. They are pure being that he wants to protect

That's why he's saving up for college from this modeling

"That's cute, babe. I've already done finding an apartment. I know we wanted to live at my dad's but if your crazy ass family does something shitty again, I'll transfer you there for a few days"

She said while gently running her red painted finger though his spikey hair. He just needed a break from all of this, so he decided to take some rest on her lap

He always did that, and never did she ever said no to him

"What about you? Why did you wanna meet tonight? Did something happen"

She hummed

"Nothing much... But one case... I had to do a trail court day for dad. As you know, sometimes it gets a little too much with him"

He nodded, but to be honest, till now he didn't hear many cases of hers. So he was intrigued

"What kinda case? And why did it stand out then the others"

She herself looked intrigued now

"Well it's a case about a father and son... The father was having an affair behind his wife's back.... Which resulted for the mistress to get pregnant. So the father decided it was a good idea to set his son with this mistress... So he could tell everyone this child was his grandson"

Megumi's eyes widened in disbelief. He really couldn't believe people like this could exist

Well looks like you're not the only one with a bad father Megumi

"But what he didn't know was the son knew everything. He knew about the affair... So he did what he was told"

Megumi now sat up from her lap looking at her with wide eyes

"What he dated that woman even knowing

She didn't let him finish and chuckled, putting a finger on his lip

"Let me explain dude... So he decided he wanted revenge "

Megumi tilted his head

"Revenge?"

"Yes revenge... So he did what his father said, he started dating that woman. But from the shadows, he collected evidence. For months, not weeks, not days but months. How his father was having an affair behind his mom's back "

She then smirked, looking forward

"Text messages, video footage, pictures, audio recordings, even the paternity test and everything you can possibly imagine as proof. One of the most well stacked evidence in any cases I've ever seen. Then he made a plan"

Megumi looked even more intrigued now

"A plan?"

"Yep, a plan to expose his lovely father and his girlfriend. And you know when? On the mistress's baby shower. In front of the whole immediate family"

Megumi, again was left in awe

He didn't know this man but he felt like he had respect for this man, so much respect

"No way!"

"Yes way! We had a good laugh in my office when he described how his father and his mistress's face were in that baby shower. Now the father's own plan backfired against him"

"How so?"

"There is so much prove of their affair and how they tried to scam the son, not only will the father go to jail and be fined, he would lose his everything in the divorce. His ex wife will get everything while he'll rot in jail"

Megumi slowly clapped his hands with mesmerized eyes

"Really... That guy is something else. He went through all this for months? Kami gave him all the patience of the world "

Megumi said while she smiled and hummed

Taking a sip of her bear, she looked forward at the dark city

"You'll actually be surprised to know how common things like this is. Because..."

When she stopped talking, he raised an eyebrow at her. Then she smiled

"Because?"

She giggled again, looking back at him with a smirk

"Revenge is a dish best serve cold... "

Megumi quietly listened, didn't think much of it

Little did he know, how this simple line will just change his life
