The boy slowly turns and frowns, "Why are you following me? Did I not tell you to leave me alone?", a figure appears before the boy and bows with his right hand placed to the left side of his chest, "Young master Jeremiah, I am so sorry. I was just following Master's orders.". Jeremy gives an eye roll, "My name is Jeremy.", he sighs, "Where is the car?", an annoyed Jeremy is sent home. He walks into the house and is seen by his mother. She looks like a model straight out of a magazine, seductive eyes, red plump lips, slim waist, slightly curved hips, c-cups, and waist length hair. She did not look like a woman who had given birth to two sons.
She was someone who paid a lot of attention to her image both at home and outside. She has on a white no hand jumpsuit, dangling earrings, gold bracelets hanging on both wrists. On her neck is a gold necklace with small diamonds embedded in them, her make making her look half her age. A look of disgust is portrayed on her face, "Where have you been? And what do you think you are wearing? Don't you know that if anyone is to see you dressed like this it would bring me shame? And what is that you are holding?", the woman orders a maid to take the paper bag in Jeremy's hand, which the maid does but with a little struggle as he refuses to let go of the bag. He suddenly lets go of the bag making the maid fall. He rolls his eyes and walks upstairs ignoring the cries of his mother.
Back to the boy sitting in the alleyway, his stomach growls. He has not eaten for almost two days straight, his eyes were hazy, he could barely keep them open. His body was overwhelmed by fatigue, but he refused to close his eyes. He strongly wants to see the face of the person he was waiting for. He did not want to miss that moment where he spots the person in the street. But fatigue and hunger are things an eight year old should not be experiencing, much less on a cold day. He is swallowed into darkness and when he opens his eyes again, it's nighttime.
He raises his head and sees a man standing before him in an all black attire. His eyes portray a cold expression that could make one freeze. He extends his right hand towards the boy, "Would you like to come with me?", the man asks, the boy stares at him for a few seconds and sees black. Twenty four hours later, the boy wakes up in a white soft bed. He slowly looks around, everything in the room is white, from the closet to the curtains to the bathroom. The boy abruptly gets up but stops when he sees colours, a man walks in. It was the man from before, the one who asked hon if he wanted to come with him but did not get to answer since he blacked out. The man carries something on a silver tray, when he gets closer, the boy sees it's soup in a bowl. The man motions for him to drink the soup, he refuses at first, but after the man takes a few sips, he decides it safe to drink. As he drinks, the man speaks up, " I know the person you are waiting for.".
