Chapter 1

The Korean song reverberated throughout the entire apartment, and the female singer's siren-like voice made it even more interesting to listen to. The neighbors would have come knocking on the door, but because they were fans of the band, they didn't.

"Young Master, I am going to do grocery shopping on the next street. There is food in the freezer if you are hungry," a plump middle-aged woman came out of the kitchen and said to the young man sitting in front of the large TV, watching his favorite K-pop girl band twist their waists at their concert.

"Uhm, Aunt Li, just be quick, and don't forget to buy some meat on your way, pork would be even better," Reckless hurriedly replied, not tearing his eyes away from the TV.

His lips curled up as he watched the girls dance, desire filling his eyes.

He really wondered how it would feel if he could touch his favorite member all over, Elise, the maknae of the group.

Elise was young and fair, petite but known to have the largest bust in the entire industry, which was even more prominent with her petite figure. And truthfully, that's what attracted Reckless to her.

He still found it a pity that he didn't attend the particular concert, as he would have seen her for real, even if it was from afar. However, he wasn't able to, all thanks to his poor heart.

"Young Master, don't throw your drugs far, and be quick to take them if you were to have an arrest," Aunt Li added worriedly.

"Sure, sure, Aunt Li."

Aunt Li sighed and walked out of the apartment, gently shutting the door as she looked at the clear sky.

If possible, she wanted to stay and monitor her Young Master all the time because he was incredibly reckless, just like his name.

Reckless' real name is Patrick, but due to his reckless personality, he was called 'Reckless' and usually addressed as Reck.

He has had a weak heart since a young age and has only been able to live by consuming a large amount of medications.

He was 22 years old this year and could be said to be average, both physically and academically.

Physically, everything about him was average. His looks, his body. He was short and thin, with small eyes and a head full of messy hair, and an average appearance.

However, academically, he could be said to be a bit of genius. He graduated high school at 14, finished college at 19, and has been staying home since then.

He didn't have to worry about food or shelter as his parents were rather rich but neglectful.

In fact, he hadn't seen his parents face-to-face since four years ago, when he was 18 and asked for an apartment for himself. The remaining contact was made through video calls, which were also rare, occurring maybe once a month, as they were overly busy working abroad.

When he was young, Reckless had always wished for them to notice him, and he had always waited for the day they would be around to celebrate his birthday. But that day had never appeared. He could still remember his 9th birthday when he had waited for them to come home to eat the cake he had personally baked with all his effort since morning. Unfortunately, they were nowhere to be seen even at night.

To make them notice him even more, he became reckless, cutting himself with shards of broken glass, an idea he learned from his middle school friend so that they would ask if he was alright and maybe stay with him, even for a day. But all he saw was his father's expressionless face and his mother's frown before she called Aunt Li to get the first aid box and treat him. Then his mother continued to work.

At that time, he realized that some things couldn't be forced, and that's why he had stopped caring and just became who he was and who he should have been.

Now, he had learned to live for himself.

When he was 18, he asked them to buy him a condominium, and they did.

The former house he used to live in was now deserted, as no one was living there anymore, and the maids were dismissed.

Living alone was truly the best, and so far, he was enjoying it.

The video finished, and he pressed a key on the remote, and the TV flashed to a scene where Elise was in an interview with the other members.

The interviewer asked a question, and Elise, who was the funniest one in the group, gave an answer that was so funny that he laughed until tears came out of his eyes, sprawling on the sofa and holding his stomach as he chuckled.

Elise was really a joker.

Fast-forwarding, as the dancer of the group, she was asked to dance.

Wearing a pink crop top and pink jeans, which was, of course, modest, showing only her fair and firm abdomen, her gorgeous brown hair falling over her shoulder, her round eyes curved slightly as she high-fived one of the members and started dancing.

Reckless watched with interest all this while, and Elise's face suddenly magnified, her heart-shaped pink lips parted seductively as she beckoned with her well-manicured finger, her eyes glinting with tantalizing seductiveness.

Then she winked, and the wink directly reached the dumbstruck Reckless's heart. He was still watching in awe, and his expression suddenly stiffened as he clutched his chest, leaning forward slightly, his hand reaching for the table in search of his drugs.

However, no matter how much he felt the table, he realized that it was empty!

He looked over, and a hint of frustration flashed through his eyes as he realized that just now, when he was laughing, he had kicked the drugs off the table, and they had rolled to the door.

'Am I really going to die now?'

Even though he didn't want to, it wasn't his choice to make.

His expression became stiffer as time went by, and before he fell dead on the couch, the last thing he saw was Elise's smiling eyes, and his eyes suddenly flashed with regret.

Aunt Li's pork was the best; he hadn't tried it yet. What a pity, and Elise too...

And thus, on the third day of February, Reckless, whose name was Patrick, passed away from cardiac arrest on a beautiful afternoon.

A minute of silence for our passing brother. (^_^;)
