The Rental Shop Owner (Web Novel) - Prologue
Prologue
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
My university arranged a job for me at an agricultural experimentation centre after graduation. The pay was fifty bucks a month. I quit after not being able to feed myself. But what could I do?
I went to a few career fairs but agricultural parasite majors were not exactly the most attractive group.
I had driven trucks for a while and I was utterly wiped every single day. My family were concerned too. I was the only child, after all.
I had opened an apparel store. I thought that my selection was unique in town (albeit a very small town), but I had little customers and even ended up owing my dad, who was about to retire, over two thousand dollars.
I had opened a bakery. Everyone who came in said it was yummy. It was just that there weren’t many who came in.
In the end, with my back against the wall, I brought out my entire prized collection and opened a little video and book rental shop. My taste that I was very proud of finally worked its magic and business was booming, so much so that several nearby stores had to close down and relocate.
My dad and mom could finally let out a breath of relief. Although their only son was still far from what they had hoped for, I was finally making enough to keep myself alive. Afterwards, all that was left was continuing the lineage.
Regarding this issue, I was destined to disappoint them. I had already known since puberty that I was a man who did not like women.
I did not like women but I hadn’t planned to date men either. In my opinion, dating was like drugs. If you do it once, then there will be a second time and then a third time and then it’s addiction; it’s disaster. And one day the beans would be spilled. My dad was already thirty six when I was born. I couldn’t let an old fellow like him get shamed on by others.
Of course, I understood that homosexuality is not perverse—it’s just different. But in others’ eyes, homosexuality was no different from perversion, am I right?
All in all, I lived a simple life. I didn’t feel that I couldn’t live without sex.
But humans cannot win against nature.
