The Train that stole our Tommorow. - Chapter 2 – The Girl Who Never Stopped Talking

"Excuse me..."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnG6hOWkd2

Methon didn't move.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6DQcUR3hf

The girl blinked twice before waving a hand in front of his face.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFkNchFGFI

"Hello? Earth to handsome stranger."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dmn4PssHb

Still no response.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DclWQyP8i

She sighed dramatically and pointed at the seat.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMRti0bWZW

"You're sitting in my seat."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFRqBKu5si

Silence.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPGlvJeGkO

Methon kept staring at the floor as if he hadn't heard a single word.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oL7fpuwfK

The girl shrugged.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCM1LBPxRvz

"Fine. I don't mind."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20oag3JOoH

She smiled to herself and grabbed the overhead pole instead.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GL6IrVc3Z

"I don't really get nervous about these little things anyway."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiFyJ4weMV

The train began moving again.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwD0GmQey7

For a few seconds, she quietly observed him.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYoElXMdTz

His expensive suit.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBhuRAWBzc

His tired eyes.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RQliqwjAE

His clenched fists.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUyDnaBhLr

The way he looked completely lost despite sitting among hundreds of people.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMHTCyJJKh

She tilted her head.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyQewOOYtq

"You know... you look like someone who hasn't smiled in years."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkxRaH7LJd

No answer.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC941BMFbEn

"My name is Valindra."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcEz0QgJpP

Nothing.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiGj7RUIkU

"I'm a college student."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGOHZP3Bkl

Silence.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6LRrzqN0E

"I'm going back to my hometown because my holidays just started."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JcXvg98Mt

Still nothing.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFvehufsUz

"My family wants me to marry someone I don't love."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYsE8i7oqw

She paused before smiling.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMiP2PEZjl

"But I already love someone else."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOuj7XPRqi

Methon's fingers tightened slightly.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFG44LJjO7

His eyes remained fixed on the floor.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaw3vhiJgUI

"The funny part is..." she continued, "my family has no idea."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbj59ZYmOAq

She laughed softly.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEd50Sl7bTP

"They've already found another boy for me."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4W6tKHGoi

She leaned a little closer.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLj89P8tB6

"But I'm not giving up."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5hPLwmJ5P

She whispered dramatically,

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0H7OBmUhW

"I'm going to run away from home."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tfDpI8TYX

Methon's jaw tightened.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldJrQcSlTf

Valindra didn't notice.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQdm7QuReC

"I love a guy named Elon."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJr8150YE4

She smiled dreamily.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnUPSKOSJF

"I don't know what will happen when I reach home, but if they force me... I'll leave everything behind and run away."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaPK1TjP7P

She kept talking without expecting a reply.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TKCnbeUvi

"My parents think they're doing the right thing."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCB9sE9dkh

"My grandparents are on their side."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV60Azz2QkC

"My cousins keep teasing me."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtt47MoBx1D

"But honestly..."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibAkVtqiPb

She smiled.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXl4TPK6Cb5

"Life is only once."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ooe9C7yeH

"So why should I live it according to someone else's rules?"

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0ZTcJS8xv

For the first time, Methon slowly lifted his head.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzENdgedk5

Valindra noticed.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqW3s3GzFZ

"Oh!"

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxrsfntk0U

"So you can hear me."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ztjfF1tBM

She grinned proudly.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTZgiYv0E4

"I knew it."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcM4lA32t8

Suddenly, Methon stood up.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEsIyfghYC

His voice was calm...

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOu1Ru4EF66

Too calm.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV68TUpmIlj

"You've been talking ever since you got on this train."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAEe5aFYfp

Valindra's smile faded.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzteeTA0sA0

"I don't know who you are."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgozWG3mJdV

"I don't know why you're telling me your life story."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDY6xvXVns

"I don't care about your family."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVxaULBVp8

"I don't care about Elon."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzuLFCHW0q

"And I certainly don't care whether you run away from home or not."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6Jed5simn

His eyes were cold.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdXC5IFrDs

"Can you please leave me alone?"

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdgcQq6P2J

The passengers nearby fell silent.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvndo4bm54

Valindra looked at him for a moment.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNWJ6vZgoQ

Then...

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXqXdMom1i

She smiled.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAdy5O6Lpa

"Done?"

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVMp8ITP4e

Methon frowned.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynzU4IcgYu

"Because if you're done..."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPirmDrBHWQ

She folded her arms.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkyUYRxc1p

"...then it's my turn."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiCVzmR8qr

"You know what's funny?"

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemqHRXOTpN

"You keep telling me to leave you alone."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6eXjTtsR3

"But your face..."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxm2caWpJJ

She pointed at him.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kFqOT6orE

"...is screaming for someone to stay."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7rR1WARW3

Methon looked away.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKiO5Q9hDD

"I've seen that look before."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlO6NQCAd4

"The look of someone pretending they're okay."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTnJrO9NfY

"You've been hurt."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7tK8JOPQ8

"A lot."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEta5Dz28jR

He remained silent.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybp4yWkOT6

She continued softly.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOSJzDaaV5

"I don't know who broke your heart."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dEGhu7ciY

"I don't know what happened."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡku6C5F8X6u

"But whatever it is..."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUZe5Y2O6X

"It will pass."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5MzWTQ0Gn

He laughed bitterly.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5YKuFhmzY

"You don't even know me."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVCycjuKQm

"No."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fLYvxaFpD

She smiled.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2O3uwJxvM

"I don't."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLAW2wdUIJ

"But sometimes..."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsA0T4yAbJC

"The easiest person to talk to is a stranger."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRjJg6OJlM

For the first time in days...

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cencyWGLQ

Methon didn't have an answer.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5tgBlJ36k

The announcement echoed through the train.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuKxdYchKm

"Next station..."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXkA1K9d9m

Valindra looked toward the door.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENmmGhvrNK

"Oh."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV54uQDKuwt

"This is my stop."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp5HzPatde

She picked up her backpack.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdoNi3bmDn

Before stepping out, she looked back at him one last time.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqn3fl8rqH

"I hope one day..."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBmjdqILyw

"...you smile again."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IF6nm23Oy

The train doors opened.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUvieK9H1D

Methon quietly stepped out as well.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wno8wPUfF

Valindra blinked in surprise.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ89hBmgexT

"Wait..."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEKvSuG6oV

She laughed.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfadd3KBhXS

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOoGxnZeIE

Methon walked away without answering.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSfkuDM8k2

Valindra smiled to herself.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSxqHVd8qa

"This guy is definitely strange."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCIJhh5FSz

She had no idea...

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kgQpcfnJJ

Their journey had only just begun.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFU4BwWuok
