The next night was the same for Kyuhyun. There is not much people requesting for songs and he's barely getting any money from this
place. He thought he better quit now and look for some other place to work at. But what jobs can he take? Aside from the fact
that he is not yet a graduate, he doesn't really have a professional working experience. He's becoming desperate. If its like this,
he's no better than dead meat after this week.

He noticed the same man he met last night, quietly listening to him. Is he drunk? He's face is a bit reddish now. Kyuhyun still
doesn't believe that this man is a talent in a big company. Just look at how he dress up in all those black see-through net and
black singlet and black tight pants and those oh so disgusting chokers and charms. Does he think he's still in his early 20s? He
seemed too old to be in that kind of fashion. If Kyuhyun know better, he would think Heechul is a hooker. He shook his head and
completely ignored Heechul.

The following night is quite better than the first 2, there were more people who requested songs for an amount of money but it's
still not enough to cover everything. He sighed, he needs to look for extra income. He'll probably take some service crew jobs in
restaurants and cafes in the morning. He sighed. How is Sungmin? He must be having fun with his mom. Kyuhyun hasn't received any
messages from him since. He crossed his eyebrows and saw Heechul walking around the same people who requested the songs for him
to sing. He met Heechul's eyes and the latter gave him a spine-wrecking smirk. What does he really want from Kyuhyun?

"If you're that moneyless, why don't you just accept my offer? Be my talent, you won't be as famous as me, but I'm quite sure
you'll have your own share of popularity." Heechul asked in a very discreet way when he bumped Kyuhyun outside the male's toilet.

"What do you want from me?" Kyuhyun asked irritatedly. If the payment for Heechul's offer is him being a slave to this
androgyneous man, he's quite sure that the answer is no.

"We're currently scouting for a new talent and I can really see that you deserve a place in the limelight."

"Thanks but I can handle myself." Kyuhyun swears he gets the creep whenever Heechul is around that place. Those big sharp eyes
darts on him like he can kill with a blink of an eye. His confidence in standing up or even his arrogance in sitting down makes Kyuhyun
want to stay away from him. Maybe he should ask the Boss to ban Heechul from coming in their bar.

For the next three days, the audience increased, and he got a better tip as night goes by but at the end of that week, the money
that he got is still not enough for him to pay his debts.

After his last show, he already saw the fat man waiting for him outside of the bar. Kyuhyun's boss must have tipped these people
that he is working here. And now they've arrived to collect their money.

Outside the bar, he looked down and handed them everything he earned for that week of singing. The fat man, with a toothpick in
his mouth counted the money and looked at Kyuhyun. "Yah, what's this?"

"It's everything that I've earned for the past week."

"This little bastard-" The fat man immediately kick Kyuhyun making him fall on the ground and cough. "This isn't even enough to
pay the interest, you rascal!"

Another kick and Kyuhyun can't even stand up. He held on to his poor stomach as he curled himself in pain.

"Yah..." the fat man called one of his underlings. "Cut his fingers now." he said way too casually while the rest of his gang
patted the one he assigned to do the cutting.

Kyuhyun widened his eyes and panicked. "Wait, no please... give another week... just...please..."

One of the guys stepped on his back so he cannot move, while the other one took out a knife and knelt in front of him. "No...
please, please!" Kyuhyun said. His heart beats way to fast as he sees the cold blade going down and approaching his shaking fingers.
He closed his eyes tight and waited for what his fingers will become.

"Yah!" a voice coming from a far disturbed them. "Leave that man alone, or you guys will get it!"

Kyuhyun looked from where the voice came from and saw the man who has been following him for the past days. Kim Heechul.

"Get lost!" the fat man said. "Aish~ why does someone always comes whenever I'm dealing with this kid?!" Heechul chuckled and
smirked as he placed his hand on his pocket.

"I need that man." Heechul said. He calmly bring out his wallet and took out a cheque, he signed and slash it. "I don't know who
you guys but why don't we just settle the real business here." he looked at them shortly. "How much does he owe you?"

"You can't afford it."

Heechul smirked yet again. "Oh really?" he sighed and looked at Kyuhyun shortly. "I'm so rich, I can even buy your own lowly life."
He threw the cheque and the man and the rest of his guys watched it as it slowly fall in the air. The fat man extended his arm
and waited for the cheque to fall on his hand. "Since I don't know how much he owes you, I suppose you can write the numbers on
your own."

The fat man was quite amused because Heechul gave him a blank cheque with his signature on it. He can write any amount he wants.
"Make sure you write enough zeros there to feed yourself and your ancestors, and stop bothering my boy or all of you will get it."

The gang made their leave as they hold on to the cheque. A famous man giving them a blank cheque is quite refreshing, they know
Heechul won't give out any fake cheque because they can easily tell it off to the media.

Heechul looked down at the frightened Kyuhyun. "Yah, I won't kneel down to help you so get on your feet now." he watched the poor
abused man standing up, holding on to his stomach due to the pain.

Kyuhyun swallowed when he saw the fat man starting to walk away. His fingers are safe, his life is saved, he turned to Heechul.
Is he really going to be a slave now?

"As you can see, I'm quite serious about my offer." Heechul said as he pass a namecard on Kyuhyun. "Take your time, think about
my offer although..." he looked at Kyuhyun with a smirk. "Because of what happened now, I won't take no for an answer." He started
walking away and left Kyuhyun behind.

Kyuhyun looked at the name card.

He kept the card and saw Heechul's back already reaching the corner lot.
