"Yes mom, I'm getting on now." Daniel told his mom, who was on the other side of the phone. He was giggling at his mother's unnecessary concerns. "Yup, don't worry I'll call," was the last thing he said before hanging up.
"It's a low-level vocational school, but anywhere is better than here." He thought while munching on an egg. He seemed determined to start anew and make lots of new friends, anything to get away from his horrible past.
The new place he's living in had hills, so climbing would be an everyday routine. 'I don't mind a mountain neighborhood' was what he thought but his body seemed to disagree.
"So this is it!" He exclaimed while looking at a shabby, 1-story house. Not minding its appearance he excitedly waddled his way to his house, ignoring his shaky legs and sweaty clothes. While on his way there, he encountered his neighbor and two dogs having- wtf…. Do I have to say this?
「 Just get it over with. 」
..two dogs h̶a̶v̶i̶n̶g̶ making love. It's normal but it still surprised me.
"Here, no one knows me," he said charismatically, while looking at the beautiful highlands.
I don't have to fear tomorrow any more.
Gotta be reborn. Like a larva that waits seven years to be born as a cicada,
It's my turn to be that cicada.
A bell rang indicating that a new customer had arrived.
"Welcome."
"You've come for a cut?" The barber asked Daniel, who replied while stuttering. He was then escorted to the darkest seat placed in the corner. They then discussed which style Daniel wanted for his fresh new cut. He was mostly flustered by the idea of looking like a celebrity.
"..okay.. I'm gonna do my best!" He said, immediately working on his masterplan.

"All done." The barber announced. The whisper and gasps excites Daniel as he assumes it was the cause of his new amazing haircut. But amazing was nowhere close to describe the horrific haircut… he looked like South Korea's president. It was fortunate he didn't have his glasses on.
He thanked the barber before walking out of there, confidently…. TOO confident. The whole crowd looked terrified, as if they had seen a naked/crazy person waddling around. Sadly, Daniel was too euphoric to see that he was in an embarrassing situation. The mirrored glass tried to help him in its own way but it boosted his ego instead.
A girl with two braided pigtails went to look at what was he fucking doing. Daniel then turned around and noticed that a cute girl was staring at him, which made him blush intensely.
