“Don't be afraid, Miss Miya. We won't hurt you. We just worry that it is dangerous for you to run around the street along at night. Let's send you back home.”
The leader is still smiling, but Miya feels uncomfortable looking at him.
“No need. I live nearby. I will be home in a few steps.”
Miya refuses him, but the man seems unable to hear what Miya had said, and he reaches out to Miya.
Miya instinctively steps back, and the people around her move close to her.
“Miss Miya, don't refused us! We are good guys. How can't we give a helping hand when we meet girls? Especially it’s so late now. You might be in dangers if go back alone! Let us send you back."
“Yes! Yes!" The other men echo.
“Look at you, Miss Miya, you are so beautiful. It’s bad if something bad happens. Let me send you back.” The leader reaches out his hand again and asks Miya to hold him.
Miya steps back. Can she say that she thought they were bad guys? “No.” She still refused with a polite smile. But the people in front of her seem to understand nothing.
The leader darkens his face, "You are really an ungrateful woman." He looks at Miya fiercely.
Miya is nervous. She really wonders how Michelle had managed to stay safe when she went back alone. There were plenty of gangsters on the beach.
Of course, Miya does not know that Michelle did not run this cafe alone.
The man is getting mad. His men in the back grab him said, "Boss, calm down. Miss Miya means she doesn't want to go home yet."
Hearing the explanation from the boys, the leader is suddenly enlightened, and then he smiled ugly, Miss Miya, you should tell me earlier. I know there is a snack street nearby. Come on, I will take you there."
“Miss Miya, go with us, we know so well with the owner that you can eat as much as you want.”
“I do not think it is good to eat too much at night.” Miya still refuses.
“Or we can go and see the light.” Anyway, he must ask her out tonight.
Miya keeps shaking her head.
“Look how handsome our boss is, Miss Miya. You are well match! If you two walk together, you will certainly get the envy of many people."
Miya is speechless.
“What are you going to do? I have been humbled enough to invite you. Even my mother doesn't have such a treatment."
Miya is speechless. Then his mother is miserable. "It is getting late. I have to go back now." Miya says and is going to leave.
The gangsters want to chase her, but their eyes are illuminated by a dazzling light.
Alex realizes that Miya had been bullied by some gangsters so he turn on the high beam light and shine it directly in the eyes of the group of people. He also gets off the car and wants to teach those people a lesson.
Those people close their eyes tightly and begin to shout abuse. Miya turns her head and looks at Alex's car, also shielding her eyes.
“How dare you come to ruin my things? Brothers, let us go, show him our power.”
