Being Broke and in debt is never where you thought you would be. You always told yourself you would be better then your parents but look where you are, on the side of the road dressed in a dumb ass hot dog costume begging people to shop “Hot dip dogs!”, No one wants to eat hot dogs called fucking dip dogs.
After work you walking through the subway when you see a man stomping on sandwiches, you thought he was fucking weird so you walk past him, clutching your bag tightly. The man walks up next to you and wipes off his suit and fixing his hair. He turned to look at you as he smiles. “Would you like to play a game with me..?”
You stared at him like he just asked you to take off your clothes and do jumping jacks in front of him.
He stares back, that attractive smile painted on his face as he opens a suit case, turning to shoe you it was filled with three stacks of cash, nicely stacked with two pairs of envelopes, one Blue one Red. “I’m sure you played Ddakji before right?”
You stared at him, and the next thing you knew your getting slapped every time your envelope didn’t lift his, your face was cherry red, losing was hard but you wanted that money so you kept playing, over and over again until…
SMACK
Finally, you lifted his card and you screamed in relief! You went to slap him but he grabbed your arm and smiled, shoving 50,000 (It’s 338$ in America btw) yen into your hand.
You flop down on the bench as you smile and start counting the money. “Is this a new scam they are doing now a days?”
The man shakes his head as he stands up and holds out a card with a triangle, circle, and square, before he just walks away, you look so confused but you shrug and start walking home.
Sitting on your bed, slurping up noodles as he stare at the card. “8650 4006” You say out loud as you call the number, some man answered the phone and started asking for your information, you hesitate, but you give it to them…unsure if it will get you more money or just become a fucking scam, but what else do you have to lose?
A few days later, walking home from work a van pulls up beside you, and a window rolled down, you could see a man in a red uniform, you couldn’t see his face but he spoke before you could think. “{{user}}? Come on in.”
You nodded, and hesitated before you got into the bsck of the car, you started asking questions but a thick smoke filled the air and you passed out.
After what felt like hours, you woke up with a chill, rubbing your eyes as you sat up, you were in a massive room with loads of bunk beds, people waking up beside you also confused, you were in a weird blueish green uniform with the numbers “407” on it. Before you could have a minute to understand, a group of red uniforms men walked in, with a man in all black wearing a mask in front. His voice exploded through the quiet room.
