Chapter 3 - Okak

door knock continues

What, he is already here?! I have spent 4 hours planning… Oh man, up myself. Though it's easier said than done.

let's go

moves like a robot up to the door

slaps himself in the face

Here we go. We can do this. He is just a dude waiting to go to the next customer. Come on, myself, be strong.

opens door

The delivery isn't a boy, it's a girl.

the delivery girl gets stunned

Heh, this guy's skin looks so smooth. He is quite pale too… cute. Omg he is even blushing, he's so cute. I wish I could hug him!

oh I forgot

Hi there sir, here is your package. I need the cash and your signature here.

Lui tries to say "okay", but ends up saying "Okak".

Shit, I messed it up, what a failure, I can't even talk.

Omg, he stuttered, that's so cute and he is getting all red.

I need to finish this as quickly as possible and get home… huh, then what? At least this girl has her own job, going out there trying to make a day by doing her job, while me… just doing nothing day by day.

Wait… why is she staring at me? Do I have anything weird on me?

girl thinking

He has quite a nice house though. I wish I could like him. He doesn't look like he works; his hands are so well kept. Could he be an artist?

S-so here is the cash and the sign!!

Why isn't she responding? Did I say something weird again?

He smells so good… omg I got lost in thought, what did he say?!

Um, sir, did you sign the letter?

Y-yes I did.

Thank you sir, and have a good day!

I wish I could spend more time with him.

delivery goes away

Lui enters the house with the package and lays on the floor.

I am tired of human beings. I wish I was a bird, though I think I would get eaten right away by other animals.

Is it this hard to say just the word "okay"? I am weird. She must have thought "what a weirdo this was".

My voice even stuttered… blushing… what am I, a kid meeting someone at kindergarten? I am 18 years old for god's sake.

When will I be able to talk normally?

Huh… I hate myself.

My back hurts. I gotta send a message to them too. I can't just leave their messages like that. My conscience would kill me.

grabs phone

So what to say to DoctorVader… I just gotta get away with it or make a joke or something.

Oh yes, I will say it was a joke.

Nah, he would get into it more.

Omg I found it. I should say I sent a wrong message.

Nope, it's the same thing. He will know the message was real, just not for him.

How about pretend… yes, yes, that can work. I should say my little brother got the phone and was sending texts to everyone.

Yes, that is better.

writes to DoctorVader

Hi there, sorry. My little brother got hold of my phone and sent you that message. Again, sorry for making you worry and bothering you.

send

Okay now it's MissSissy.

So what should I tell her? I don't want to just say that she is too far away. She went out of her way to even say she would get it for me.

Maybe something like: thank you for your help but my little brother already got his package today.

writing to MissSissy

My brother got the package by himself. He sent the same message to everyone. Thank you for your help though, and sorry to bother.

sent

Huuh! Taken care of all of them. Now I am free.

becomes a liquid on the floor

Message notification.

That's fast. What is it?

Huh? Miss Sissy?

Miss Sissy:

Hey, nope he didn't bother me at all, but did you really leave your little brother alone to get his package?! What if they had robbed him or something like that?! You should be more careful these days, there are many criminals around! I could have gotten the package for him or even accompanied him!

Heh… I hate you little brother that doesn't exist. Look what you made me get into. I am in a fight now. I got judged by Miss Sissy. I am tired from all this.

scratches hair

moves lazily to backyard

I am just going to pretend nothing happened. It was just a bad dream.

Yeah… my beans are still here, somehow almost dead too. Did something eat their roots?

This place is so perfect. I really must consider staying here… but I would again need a big roof to be protected from rain. Maybe I can somehow build a small home.

Who am I kidding? The delivery girl judged me, I stuttered and said "okak", Miss Sissy is now mad at me from my lie.

Ah… I don't even know what to do anymore in my life.

Nothing is paying me back for all my time.

I wonder if I could just give other people my time to get money directly. Though if that worked, rich people would be immortal.

But I could earn some money too.

But I guess only death connects me with all other humans in one way.

I wonder… is it normal to be like me?

I really wonder what made me become like this.

The prime of my life… 18 years old huh.

I can't even talk to people anymore.

It has always been like this.

I talked with people in high school when I had to, but it always felt forced, like I wasn't myself at all.

Hmm… high school huh?

Did I really go through that?

It seems unreal now that I think about it.

Spending 6 hours every day there… teachers… staying in classrooms.

It's not like I talked much there either now that I think about it.

Lessons were the only thing that mattered to me. Trying my best was the only motivation.

Breaks between subjects were the worst. I had to stay in the classroom and just get eaten by the conversations happening around me.

I couldn't even scribble in my notebook.

I felt like I was being watched all the time and that if I made one move everyone would look at me.

Now I guess why teachers always said to have fun in high school.

But college was my priority back then.

I wonder if I would have been different if I went to college.

Hmm.

So many doubts.

So many thoughts.

All for nothing.

Maybe my fate wasn't there.

Stop thinking brain. Do your work and go there to hustle.

leaves backyard

Hmm… the box.

Stupid box, all because of you.

punches box

box rotates

T-the name isn't ours.

That's not a mistake right?

That is the box mom ordered…

Right?!
