Chapter 600: Wishful Thinking
Pursing his lips, Ken was about to turn away. He couldn't bear himself to think about his miserable situation even further.
Just then the noise underneath increased.
This caught his attention and he couldn't bring himself to look away. The noise beneath intrigued him and distracted him.
Turning to look at the entrance, he found a rather charming young man. He was dressed in a finely tailored black suit and black pants.
With sharp sword-like brows and a charming youthful face, he looked like one of those handsome models straight out of a fashion magazine.
But there was something more to him than what eyes could meet.
Immediately, the moment he arrived he captured the attention of almost everybody present there.
"Hiro! Hiro!"
The moment Hiro arrived at the scene, the people at the scene began to chant his name.
Buttoning the suit he wore, he walked to the other end of the door of the car where he had arrived, avoiding all those people calling him.
He didn't seem to be bothered by them.
Ken stared at him fixedly, unable to take his eyes away from him. Until now, he had seen many famous personalities walk down the red carpet.
But even he could tell that there was something different about Hiro.
It might be because he had dolled up but he looked lethally attractive today.
The fans were equally loud, shouting his name, and asking him for his autograph. Truly, he had the charisma of a star.
"What's so special about that Kid?"
"Just because he plays a little well, look at those people fawning over him."
Although most of the people were appreciative of him, there were a few who disdained him. Among those few, some were right around Ken as well.
Truth be told, Ken right now could very well fall in that category of people. After all, he was envious of Hiro as well.
Well, how couldn't he be envious of him?
Until now, had he done anything for his parent? He hadn't.
But did he not want to make his parents proud? He did. Just like many other kids, he also wanted to make his parents proud of him.
Looking at Hiro with his parents, he couldn't help but think about his father. They lived in a rather remote location in Japan called Shiriyazaki. It is located at the northeastern tip of
Aomori province.
In an unfortunate event during a major earthquake, he lost his mother quite early in his life, and right now, his dad was the only relative he had.
His father was a fisherman who sold fish for a living.
Even now, he would be around the coast in his boat, surfing with the waves of the ocean in his old motorboat.
Thinking about his father's face at this time, Ken's eyes moistened. For some reason, he felt pitiful about him.
Even though he had left a letter saying that he'd earn and study in a city, he hadn't told his father about his departure himself. Basically, he had run away from home to escape life in the village in hopes of making a name for himself.
But here he was away from home, working as a laborer without any prospect for the future. The only future he could carve working here would be a life full of mediocrity.
[Do you wish to change your fate?]
Ken heard a faint voice echoing in his ear. The voice was barely audible. It almost felt as if it
came from a distant source.
Nonetheless, the fleeting voice startled him.
Ken looked around startlingly.
"Ken, let's go. We have to watch over the setup."
Ken's colleagues who were preparing to head inside told him.
Their voice distracted him. Well, he had a job to do and he couldn't slack. Although most of
the people in the company were kind, the supervisor wasn't like others- he was stingy and
haughty.
If he delayed any further he would probably fine him. So, Ken dismissed the thought of hearing something and proceeded inside.
