Tour of Unexpected Day

"Hey." William is getting closer.

I'm on guard.

I felt some pressure on me as he's getting closer. And my legs start trembling.

My heart beats so fast when he stops and is already in front of me.

I'm panting.

I can't look at his face, as if it's blank in black. And I feel like my surroundings become darker.

He raises his hand as if it's like he's going to hit me. I want to run away, but my body feels heavy.

I fucked up.

He drops his hand.

"Hey, are you ok?" He put his hand on my shoulder.

"H-ha?" I said it while panting.

"Are you fine? It seems like you are going to faint."

"Y-yea, I'm fine."

My vision became clear, the darkness around the room was gone. I thought William's going to attack me, but it seems I'm wrong. He's worried about me instead.

I take a deep breath and breathe out, trying to calm myself.

"Are you really ok?" William asked me again.

"Yeah I'm ok."

I look at Noki and Lucas. Lucas has a worried face, while Noki has no idea what's going on.

"Hey, hey, what was that?" Noki went closer to me and put his hands to both sides of my shoulder, then shook me. "You had a scared face just a while ago." and he said that to me.

"Ha?"

"You're even making some weird poses."

Pose? My instinct is on guard.

I look at William properly. My perspective back there was him having a black, blank face. Because his hair is the same as mine(black), I hallucinated him having a black face.

William sighed.

Oops, I'm looking at his face too much. Maybe he thought me being a gay. That's going to be the worst impression.

I just realized Noki was still shaking me. Because of that I feel like something is going to come out from my body.

?!

William is coming closer to me.

I think he really thought I'm gay. He has the wrong idea. I need to fix this.

"Wait, William, it's not what you think. I'm not ga--"

"Hey, stop that Noki." William pulls Noki's back collar.

"Ehh…" Noki said it while being pulled.

It looks like he never thought of that. Why do I even think that to begin with?

I sighed.

"Sorry, Shin, did you say something?" William asked me.

"Nothing." I immediately responded.

"Oh ok. By the way, you had the wrong idea."

?!

"Wrong idea about what?" I asked.

"You thought we were going to attack you, right?"

!?

"How do you know?"

"It's obvious just seeing your action a while ago."

"Ah, …it's just reflexes."

"It's ok. I'm going to do the same if I'm in your situation. So I'm going to tell you this, we're not bad guys."

"I see… Sorry for doubting you guys." I lowered my head to apologize.

"It's ok. That's just normal." Lucas spoke.

"Yea, so let's become friends." Noki said.

"Thanks guys." I said.

"It seems the situation has been resolved."

Yea, it looks like it has been resolved. But still I need to ask that.

"But why did you guys become silent about the topic of having 2 abilities?" I asked.

" "..." " Both William and Lucas become quiet again.

"Eh? Eh?" Noki is still confused.

And just like that, it looks like I just ruined the atmosphere.

I scratch my head. "Is it forbidden to ask that?"

"Not it's just… Most of us cannot reveal our ability. And most of the people here have 2 or more abilities." William spoke.

"Eehh?... So that's why when I asked them their ability they wouldn't tell me, and they might have more abilities, that's so unfair." Noki said.

"Why are they kept as a secret?" I asked.

"To avoid being disadvantaged."

'Disadvantage?"

"Imagine if you told them your ability, and they found a weakness to it. It sounds bad, right?"

"Yea…"

Wait…

"Did I just mess up?" I said it without knowing.

"Don't worry, only four of us are here." William said.

"Yeah, your secret will be safe." Lucas spoke.

"Thank you very much." I bowed to thank them.

Noki just nodded.

They seem not bad guys after all. Now I have some trusted comrades.

"So can you guys tell me what ability you guys have?" I asked.

"No." William quickly denied.

"Same to William." Lucas said.

"Now that I learned the truth, so nope." Noki said.

Looks like they can't trust me. Now I feel stupid that I told them my ability.

The door suddenly opens, and some bald, big guy enters the room.

"Why are you guys still here? We still have work to do." The bald guy said.

"Sorry, we're just talking to this guy." Lucas replied.

"He's Logan. One of our roommates." William told me.

"Enough talk, get moving." The bald guy said.

"Yeah, yeah." Lucas answered.

"Sorry about that. Let's talk later." William said to me.

The three of them wore their uniform and went outside with the bald guy.

Now I'm alone here…

Wait, I'm working here now, right? What should I do? I have just been left out without knowing anything.

I sighed. "I guess I should ask the boss then."

I went to the boss room. When I entered, they're busy doing paperwork. Ms. Alice has her own desk.

"Boss?" I spoke.

"Oh shin. What brings you here?"

"Umm, it's about my job. What should I do?"

"Hmm? Alice, did you not tell him?" He switched his gaze from me to her.

"Ah, sorry boss. I forgot to tell him."

"Then you should go on tour and tell him what to do."

"But boss, what about these papers?"

"It's fine. I can do it alone."

"I understood, boss." After talking to the boss, she went closer to me and said, "So shall we go then?"

"I'm sorry for the intrusion." I replied.

"No, it's ok. It's my fault anyway."

Then we went outside the room afterwards.

She tours me around the hotel. First we go to the storage room where the uniforms are. Second, we went down to the 1st floor to the front desk where the receptionist works. Third we went to the other side where the 2nd? Front desk at.

"Ha? There's a 2nd one?" I said.

"Yes. The first one we went to was just the back. And this one is the front."

"Front!?"

I went outside and looked. I was shocked by what I saw. The front was incomparable from what I saw back there. The back was already big like a straight building, but this front is huge and U-shaped. To think that this hotel was a U curve like a bowl. And there's a big fountain in the middle of it.

"Huge right?" Alice said.

"Yeah…" I replied in an amazement tone.

"Anyway, let's continue the tour." She said.

"Ok."

We continued the tour. We went to dining room, kitchen, café to hang out, and there's even a bar.

"And that's all for the tour." Alice said.

"Thank you, Ms. Alice. For giving me time to show the place."

"No, that's ok. Like I said, it's my fault anyway. And tomorrow you can start working then."

"Thank you very much."

"You already know the place?"

"Yes."

"Then I shall head back now."

Then she walks away afterwards.

Now what? It's still early, and my work will be tomorrow. So what should I do with this free time?

While thinking, someone grabs my shoulder.

"Yo." It was Kylo.

"Oh Kylo."

"Your clothes, means you didn't accept the job."

"No, my work starts tomorrow."

"Oh I see. That's good for you. So, you have a lot of free time right now?"

"Yea I guess."

"Perfect timing, it's my break. So let's go to the bar."

"W-wait."

He grabbed my arm and went to the bar.

{SOME HOURS PASSED}

"Heiy, hiy, let mi tell yu somting." Drunk Kylo.

It has been some hours since we went to this bar. Kylo was already drunk.

"Hey Kylo, isn't your break already over?" I told him.

"It's fine, it's fine. My break is extended again." He replied while swinging the bottle of wine.

I sighed. "You already said that 3 times."

"Hehe. Huh? Why are you only drinking juice? That's unfair."

"This… I'm still a minor, so… I still can't drink that yet."

"Eh?... How boring. Here, drink this."

"Wait."

He put the bottle in my mouth and forced me to drink it.

"That's right, chug it. Don't mind it being a minor. We've been abandoned already."

"Hhmmm."

He really forced me to drink it. And why is that old man the bartender not stopping him? I'm just a minor.

The wine flowed through my throat. It makes me fuzzy.

This is bad…

"Heey theree Martha." Kylo voice.

"Ah, so you were here. You ditched your work again."

I'm still…

"Sam, help me carry them to their rooms." Martha's voice.

Wat dis? I feel like someone's carrying me.

Haa… I think I'm going to pass ou--

{MORNING COMES}

"Ahh… my head hurts…"

When I woke up I was on a bed, I don't remember what happened yesterday. And I'm still fuzzy.

I tried to move, but I felt something heavy on my left arm. When I looked at it, there was a naked girl sleeping beside me.
