As the old woman passes through the crowded street, she patiently waits for the pedestrian traffic light to turn green. Despite the hustle and bustle around her, she seems completely at ease and accustomed to navigating through crowds. Suddenly, she stumbles upon a convenient store located nearby. Glancing at her pocket watch, which is attached to her handbag, she notices that it's only 8:50 AM, still early for her. With a shrug and a smile, the old woman decides to enter the store, curious to see if there's anything of interest to buy or perhaps someone to interact with.

The store's sliding doors open with a beep as she enters, and then close behind her. As she looks around, the old woman finds nothing particularly special about the store; it appears to be just an average convenience store like any other. She lets out a sigh, realizing that she has no other choice but to purchase some items for her journey.

After picking up a few items and some food, she makes her way towards the counter. There, she sees a man in his late 20s with hair of a (H/C) color and stunning eyes of a (E/C) shade. Judging by his physique, one could say he has the body of an athlete, and he is undeniably good-looking.

However, there is something different about this man. It's as if there's a hidden beast lurking within him, ready to pounce on its prey. The old woman smirks as she places all her items on the counter, and the man immediately starts working without uttering a word.

Old women: *Smiling* Hello, young man. May I know your name, please? You're quite handsome.

The man glances up at her with a blank expression before returning his focus to his work, without any distractions.

Y/N: My name is Y/N L/N, and thank you for the compliment, by the way.

The old woman's smile grows wider, stretching from ear to ear. She finally feels like she has found the right person, someone who can help her with something she hasn't done in a long time.

Old women: May I touch your hand, please? I want to see what the future holds for you.

Y/N looks at her with a confused expression but decides to shrug it off, as if he's seen weirder things on the internet and in the outside world. He reluctantly extends his hand to the old woman, hoping she'll make it quick and not cause any more trouble.

Y/N: *Sigh* Just please don't do anything weird with my hand, okay? I'm really tired of this nonsense.

With a nod from the old woman, she quickly snatches Y/N's hand and observes it with wide-open eyes. She touches his palm through his fingers, feeling the firmness of his muscles. Then, she moves her fingers to his wrist, sensing his heartbeat pulsing through his veins. This man is exactly what she was looking for-a rare specimen indeed. The old woman's smile grows even wider as she gives his hand a pat before letting go.

Old women: Hmm, you're a healthy man. It seems like your parents have taken good care of you. And your potential, it's limitless.

Y/N rubs his hand, feeling a bead of sweat forming on his forehead, and a chill runs down his spine as she touches him and talks to him like a creepy stalker.

Y/N: *Concerned* Alright, here's your stuff. It comes to a total of $15.99.

The old woman pays for her items with a warm smile on her face, taking her stuff with her. Before she leaves, she has one final remark for Y/N, something he wants to know about.

Old women: Oh, young man, I hope you meet a beautiful woman on your journey. Don't worry, nothing supernatural will happen. *Chuckles* Goodbye~

Then she walks away, disappearing from sight. Y/N lets out a frustrated sigh and glances at his wristwatch, noting that it's now 9:31 AM.

Y/N: *Sigh* It just keeps getting weirder and weirder every day.
