Chapter 2 Jiru Is Coming Again

"This, isn't the way to my house?"

Varenzel's reflex hit the brakes, making Alicy pulled forward because of the sudden stop of Varenzel's vehicle.

"Oh... looks like I, I wrong way"

"Y-You mean?" Alicy looked quite panicked.

"Let's just look at the maps, huh... sorry, I made your trip uncomfortable!"

Realizing that Alicy's response was too excessive, she bowed slightly, "I'm also sorry for my attitude, I shouldn't have gone overboard like this, you were kind enough to take me!"

"No problem, I understand!" Varenzel smiled then he started the car again.

After two hours, Varenzel arrived at Alicy's place, not a house but a small apartment like a very simple flat and located on the outskirts of town.

"Can you drop off me here? thank you!"

"It doesn't matter it's late!" Varenzel continued to drive his vehicle, he paid no attention to Alicy until Alicy gave up when Varenzel entered his vehicle into the small basement in Alicy's apartment.

"Fuck!!"

The curse was uttered by a man who was in the corner of the room, apparently he was distracted by the lights of Varenzel's vehicle when the vehicle came in and focused on him and a woman.

"Thank You!" said Alicy with an awkward expression, she seemed to be in a hurry to get out of the car. And Varenzel even got out after turning off his vehicle.

"Come on, I_"

CUIH..

Varenzel and Alicy gasped when the man who had been in the corner of the room approached while buttoning his shirt, the smell of alcohol could be smelled a few steps away, at the same second the woman who was with him ran.

"HEY, we're not done yet!" shouted the man cursing crazily, he looked even more annoyed. "This is all because of your car, you bastard!"

Alicy trembled when the man approached with a bottle in his hand. "S-Sorry, sorry sir, we're sorry!"

PRAAANKKKK...

Without warning the man threw the bottle he was holding until it hit Varenzel's car in the front area. But Varenzel didn't budge in the slightest, he just shook his head slightly and looked at the man who was now making fun of him and then just walked away, laughing as if he was satisfied with his actions.

"How about this_"

"Just leave it!"

Alicy stopped walking when Varenzel intercepted her hand.

"But your car?"

"Well, let it go, what else can I do? It's already happened, besides I have insurance and the damage isn't that bad either." Varenzel smiled then looked at the man.

"Serving people like that will never end or maybe it's just as crazy. Come on.."

In the end they walked up the manual stairs to get to Alicy's room on the eighth floor, the last floor and this apartment only had fifteen rooms. Alicy looked so awkward because of what happened earlier, plus the elevator was broken.

"Just got here"

"Do you feel uncomfortable with me?" Varenzel chuckled slightly.

"Not like that!" Alicy corrected her. "I'm just afraid you're tired!"

"No, it's no problem, besides my mother said earlier to take you and make sure you're safe, you came home so late because of my carelessness, so let me take responsibility, come on!"

Alicy couldn't avoid it any longer, she nodded and pulled the corners of her lips very wide. Honestly, Alicy felt admiration for the man beside her, not just because of Varenzel's attitude but because of Varenzel's sculpted face which was enough to attract anyone's attention to look at him many times.

It's true what Joan said, her brother is very handsome, Joan is also handsome and Varenzel is more than that.

"Which is your room?" Varenzel looked at the two doors on the last floor.

"Ah... the one on the right!" Alicy looked very enthusiastic as she reached into her pocket to get her room key.

Meanwhile Varenzel was still walking calmly behind the girl. He looked around and down the stairs, as if he was paying attention to the situation and even every corner of the room.

"Very high"

"Yes?" Alicy turned her head slightly

"Uhm,, no, it's okay, i just noticed the eighth floor which was higher than usual

"So what?"

Varenzel looked down the stairs again, "I don't know, just a little imagine what if someone's body was thrown from up here, how devastated would it end up being?"

Really, Alicy's pull to open the doorknob of her room stopped, Alicy gulped when she felt Varenzel walking and standing behind her. At the same second Alicy turned around.

This succeeded in making Alicy groaned with a trembling body when she saw Varenzel pulled at one corner of his lips, his big and sharp eyes showed an impression of horror as his grin was also printed so clearly.

"W-Wh, what, what do you mean__"

"Ffftt.... hahahaha... are you scared?" Varenzel actually laughed, "Sorry, I'm sorry, I was just kidding!"

Varenzel's impression changed completely, Varenzel even laughed mockingly but Varenzel's laughter stopped when he saw Alicy's face turn completely pale.

"Oh... sorry, miss, I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything and was really just joking!"

A moment of silence...

"Miss Swan?" Varenzel started again "are you okay? I'm sorry Miss, I'm really sorry and I hope you still want to come to the Calain Group, I will really be waiting for your CV there!

Alicy only responded with a faint bow,

"Then come in! I'll leave after you go into your room!"

Still without a word, Alicy just nodded slightly. She pulled the knob on the bedroom door and turned to Varenzel who was in front of his bedroom door.

"Thank You.."

"Wait, Miss Swan!" Varenzel called again, stopping Alicy's hand from being pulled, the two of them stared at each other between the small gap in the door that Alicy was about to close.

"Be careful! Don't forget to lock your bedroom door and make sure you always lock the door as tightly as possible!"

*******

"ARHH... Shiit, tsk!"

The growls and curses came from a man who looked frustrated as he staggered across a bridge that was only about three meters high with a drink bottle in his hand.

"It's really bad luck, this is all because of that bastard!"

"Uhh... this will indeed be an unlucky day for you, and a lucky day for me!"

BUUGHH...

The man bounced when his body was kicked by someone from behind, he turned around and widened his eyes in surprise to find someone with a scary mask approaching him.

Then the masked man grabbed his hair to the edge of the bridge, he pushed the man's body down and he jumped too. His movements were really fast, like a ghost that came and moved as it pleased.

The echo of laughter began to sound eerily under the bridge combined with the howl of the wind that blew softly in the silence of the night when the clock had passed midnight.

"Wh-Who, who are you? What do you want? Let me go!" said the man, looking away timidly when the masked man snatched the drink bottle he had brought.

"Wh-Who?"

"Tsk... trite questions, who are you, what do you want, let me go, don't hurt me, forgive me! Can't I get a different question this time, huh?"

The man was still moving, he was about to get up but was stopped when the masked man squatted and grabbed one of his legs.

"Where are you going, huh? Didn't you ask who I am?" He spoke so casually and coldly,

"I'm.. Black Jiru, and Jiru is Coming again!"

Prank!!

Jiru hit the man with a drink bottle, blood and glass shards splattered on the man's head which was Jiru's target. Jiru didn't stop there, picking up the glass shards.

Jiru furiously slashed his victim, his moans began to sound loud because Jiru covered the man's mouth so he wouldn't make a sound.

There was no particular struggle, perhaps because the victim's body was affected by alcohol and Jiru was sitting on the victim's back. Jiru just laughed crazily when the victim struggled in pain.

Amidst Jiru's chuckles, he suddenly stopped when his victim was already so weak.

"Tsk,,, damn, damn, damn!" Jiru cursed furiously, he let go of his victim who was lying limp with his body covered in blood.

Jiru crouched down looking at his victim, his hands shaking as the man had not yet fully breathed his last breath.

"Hehehe... not bad!" Jiru got up and kicked the victim who was lying just like that.

This time Jiru didn't finish, he stopped his action in the middle and this was enough to prove that Jiru was able to hold onto his determination.

If Jiru won't finish him off again before he gets his last target!

As a result, Jiru stepped away from the victim, amidst the sound of his shoes echoing under the bridge passage, a faint voice said,

"Alicy Swan, I will really finish you off!"

*********

Like in most homes, in the morning the Calain residence gathers for breakfast before starting their activities.

"Good morning!" Varenzel was so neat in his work clothes greeting the people in the dining room, Joan, Lily and Aarav were already sitting in their respective chairs.

"Varen slow down!" Aarav looked at Varenzel because the man was in a hurry, shoving bread into his mouth.

"I'm so sorry dad, I'm late!" Varenzel took a sip of the glass of milk that Lily had handed him. "Mom, why didn't you wake me up?"

"You came home at almost two in the morning, obviously mom didn't wake you up! It's better to just rest first"

"I can't mom, today I have important work at the company!"

Joan looked at Varenzel, "Are you coming home from dropping Alicy off at two in the morning? But Alicy's house is only one hour from this house!"

Varenzel smiled, "That's because I don't know the way and am a little lost, Joan!"
