Chapter 10

I tried to regain my calm after the incident that stirred up my libido. In the end, I called that woman for help, but in the end, I ended up being used.

Here I am standing in my bartender outfit. Joseph, 22 years old, is a final-year student who was forced to work as a bartender, because of his own doing.

"You're so quiet, come on, let's be excited when you become a bartender."

*sigh*

"You should be grateful that I'm willing to hire you at my bar, especially since the incident last night where you were begging me to help you."

"I begged for advice on, ah never mind, I don't want to talk about it anymore."

"You are such a pain in the ass. This is the first time I've met a guy like you. You should be the one who can understand women's hearts, not yourself."

"I'm sorry if it's like this. I honestly hate myself too."

"You're such a child. By the way, do you play the piano?

"Piano? Is there a piano here?"

"It's an old piano from my parent's house, but it was a shame to throw it away, so I brought it here."

Then she brought me to the corner bar, where I saw a piano that was still wrapped in plastic. Then she opens the plastic and reveals a white piano that looks a bit dusty. From the brand, this is obviously an expensive piano.

"It's a bit dirty, but it still plays, do you want to try it?"

"I used to play the ukulele in the village, but I played the piano a few times."

"Hoh, who taught you?"

"Someone... I don't want to talk about it."

"Is she your ex-girlfriend?"

"W-WHAT?"

"You're so predictable."

*sigh*

I approach the piano and begin to press a few keys. Without realizing it, the rhythm reminded me of a song I had played... with her, once.

Suddenly my play stops.

"Sorry, I suddenly remembered something painful."

She taps my shoulder.

"It's okay. Everyone has past hurts. It's up to you whether you want to move forward or be drowned by it."

"Thanks."

"Oh yeah, this week there will be a Halloween event at Central Park. It's a costume party in the streets and there will be a lot of street food there too. Why don't you ask Julia to go, I think she's ready for an outdoor event, especially since she was able to go to a bar yesterday."

"Yesterday you used the threatening method. I doubt she'll want to go again this time, especially since the event is really on the streets, which will obviously be very crowded there. "

"Take it easy, there are two of us to look after her. Don't you want to see Julia with her sexy body wearing a Halloween costume?"

I imagined what she said.

"What can I do, I'll help you this time."

"Your face is too honest."

"But I don't have the money to buy the costume, I wish there is a generous person who will give a small portion of her wealth to be given to the poor, like me."

"You're such a drama. Don't worry, I'll be the main sponsor if you can persuade Julia to go."

"Leave it to me!" *wink*

That's the theory.

The real thing is...

I kneeled in front of Julia to get her to go. Even though I got a lecture from her, in the end she agreed to go to the event.

I can't wait to see my Auntie wearing a sexy Halloween costume.

Even my pride is the price.
