6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAw0GP4FZya

The train came to a smooth halt.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7piNMl76JL

"This is my stop," Valindra said cheerfully as she adjusted her backpack.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJT1qbFBwTD

She stepped out of the train without waiting for another word from Methon.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnaCL1YPwM

A few seconds later, to her surprise, Methon also stepped onto the platform.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lYQBNT2vD

She looked at him and laughed softly.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAGDXBNVhw

"Don't tell me this is your station too."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLJHD9ouCC

He didn't answer.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidqabA8ae1

Instead, he simply walked past her with his hands in his pockets.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOx7vUUyJ0

Valindra stood there for a second before shaking her head.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJPtkkxdD7

"What a strange man..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1W5R7DA64

The train's departure alarm echoed through the station.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VFnwUQPFj

Methon kept walking without looking back.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqRzTcJNXv

Valindra suddenly noticed that he wasn't even trying to board another train.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxi6LX0AGpD

"Hey!" she shouted.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfnpsGFzsR

"The train is leaving!"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65NnxsA2mX

He didn't stop.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnkQybiqcd

"If you don't get in now, you'll miss it!"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVBb6owfQ8

Still no response.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡML6PSUOM61

The doors began to close.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPh0nkuQ9Yt

Valindra looked at the moving train...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JtzskxxOW

Then at the lonely man walking away.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29qvbMeHDx

"Oh, come on!"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqpZ2A0zjv

Without thinking twice, she jumped away from the train and ran after him.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCq5YL2rAx

The train disappeared from the platform.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQpc7NxMjT

Only then did she realize what she had done.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgF1YJaGfvB

She had missed her train.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQtGDUpCVN

Again.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4nwDqqJEQ

She finally caught up with Methon and stood in front of him, slightly out of breath.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFz8I3mYh2

"What do you think you're doing?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfldYRP5Ce

Methon looked at her without any expression.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gOJqJYKZJ

"You made me miss my train!"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hEAP944ZC

"I told you to get back on it."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDS36nrnVeU

"You didn't listen!"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoCz2dieBQ

"And because of you..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWPZSIZDhH

She pointed at the empty railway track.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJQzbsRTil

"I missed it too."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7q2lxrZBFk

Methon sighed.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKXqbmZpnk

"That wasn't my fault."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cMmBvb9Cf

"It absolutely was."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4C6Cs79uNg

He shook his head.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxvoM246ku

"I never asked you to follow me."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbCF2dFvHh

"Exactly!"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4FpgFgzQY

She folded her arms.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnCZYWFUHZ

"You never ask for anything."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDF4TT9ESn

"You don't talk."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxcu0ILBzW

"You don't smile."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULv1qYx11h

"You don't even get angry properly."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEKqIN2flq

"For a man who looks so handsome, you're unbelievably difficult."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GiSQNwO4z

For the first time...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MKc72SmWt

A tiny smile almost appeared on Methon's face.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9Q2kscNw2

Almost.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAp33vhQpG

He quickly hid it.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbfDM1V7T9

Valindra noticed anyway.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxkpsZhcVC

"Aha!"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLR02gJAye1

"I saw that."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kt6SJeXHV

"You almost smiled."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRr4gofp4w

"I did not."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnMCLy7YaK

"You did."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfppnKLBsVK

"I didn't."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulifIGyWOq

"You definitely did."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwG8sUj4439

Methon turned around and started walking again.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUIOlYphkX

Valindra happily followed him.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTrScIk2FD

A few minutes later, they reached the station exit.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQiAJvwqyk

Night had already covered the city.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG95fxHz3Po

Valindra stopped walking.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLLPAfZwbh

She looked around.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTHOhwFyhp

The station was becoming emptier every minute.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu00lPbks5h

Only a few people remained.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8oZjEHGi5

She suddenly remembered something.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWoJYev3rM

"My train..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1APTu2HqXf

She sighed dramatically.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJTMMihQQ2

"This is the second train I've missed today."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaxcHwHG9y

She walked toward the station help desk to ask about the next available train to her hometown.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbJ7oAbMQd

After getting the information, she stepped back outside.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQo6ZRByZu

The streets were much quieter now.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQaAUTZhaU

A group of young men standing nearby began staring at her.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA86jddKwi4

Their whispers slowly turned into laughter.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKPvTqzbbJ

Valindra ignored them and continued walking.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8ACbmMFu4

One of them stepped forward.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rB0bQsehL

"Need some company?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9Ng3DsfcV

She stopped immediately.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwrljnTYQH

"No."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBv27cAl7J

Another one laughed.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVehEVOCNl

"Don't be rude."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpLZFpre4j

Valindra looked straight into his eyes.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52FndW3d32

"If you take one more step..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3TJPMtf8o

She said calmly,

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXPEqfCMyj

"...you'll spend the rest of your night explaining to the police why your nose is broken."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT65cmqQgr

The boys laughed.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYxFJnulwv

She didn't.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzC0fP6H9h

Without waiting another second, she turned and walked away.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoqp4X75PD

The footsteps behind her grew louder.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc56nzdSAgn

They were following her.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcubTQyxniA

For the first time that night...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknhr45zI79

She felt uneasy.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRy3NMRpcpd

She looked around desperately.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuaxqlOOz3

Then she saw a familiar figure walking ahead.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2rtjOVcaO

"Methon!"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWMojjTtBB

Without thinking, she ran toward him and grabbed his arm tightly.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunNLgF3FLp

He stopped in surprise.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWy6AANmdwI

She stood beside him, trying to catch her breath.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynbJx7e6Zy

"Thank God..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3iU7lkzVp

"I finally found you."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FifCOLAzh

Methon looked at her in confusion.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9s8Lk6c4c

"What happened?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpd5eH24Bp1

She glanced behind her.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3ktOCrr8n

The boys had stopped following.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwxZNakMng

Only then did she let out a deep breath.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eagjS8IL0

"I'll explain later."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSNArkhSKB

"But for now..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHcVm9sh2i

She smiled weakly.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHc033Z6CE

"I'm really glad you're still here."6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rPkYMJxll
