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

"Excuse me..."

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1qj3hdYdo

Methon didn't move.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJdlWtl3CP

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

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAkPGD0ZAV

"Hello? Earth to handsome stranger."

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCMANbztvO

Still no response.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxzwut4E6C

She sighed dramatically and pointed at the seat.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyhIWXyo9l

"You're sitting in my seat."

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9rhvYlYWN

Silence.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhcbiJOJjG

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

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ887tjYMofI

The girl shrugged.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc87LFbHyqx

"Fine. I don't mind."

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ091RWn8bUL

She smiled to herself and grabbed the overhead pole instead.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4NFcpJ8HO

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

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIjnj5OVhl

The train began moving again.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQT8ZPsaD3O

For a few seconds, she quietly observed him.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUP1VHdNQ0o

His expensive suit.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIdci3Oerv

His tired eyes.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9Cf2TVMF7

His clenched fists.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wH7rn8gBc

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

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5p5P2QGt15

She tilted her head.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXkhSCz7b8

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

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNt2bWmBXLW

No answer.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfteKZZmOxV

"My name is Valindra."

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDig3pgeZx5

Nothing.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxdvIsjX49

"I'm a college student."

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBFRQYYUzp

Silence.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8CXzH80br

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

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweXvifLTFs

Still nothing.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWhQ3fA1ly

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

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYATXkC36Cq

She paused before smiling.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqeAgDzINu

"But I already love someone else."

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHpfoXS4Cc

Methon's fingers tightened slightly.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPLCmyxlaX

His eyes remained fixed on the floor.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdFgKQ7E09

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

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGsieHUADi

She laughed softly.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhiG6wkjDp

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

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvIUGrPHLS

She leaned a little closer.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMSofZdvvd

"But I'm not giving up."

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQgWaNxLxl

She whispered dramatically,

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWSdrKPVBU

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

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqc0MGChSpv

Methon's jaw tightened.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcwnWontA3

Valindra didn't notice.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNekO7SqPr

"I love a guy named Elon."

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbdvwUWUhJ

She smiled dreamily.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0oakaTRpr

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

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05a2l6r0jg

She kept talking without expecting a reply.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJpm97iPCv

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

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4CmcWHYaX

"My grandparents are on their side."

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3S68Nfn6w

"My cousins keep teasing me."

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pdvFwk8yA

"But honestly..."

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdHZvARpn7

She smiled.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCq6N0VdFl

"Life is only once."

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpF4R5De01B

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

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPv8YrnQ7U

For the first time, Methon slowly lifted his head.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkIzvaKN32

Valindra noticed.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhapINHOsyt

"Oh!"

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAot7PYNdr

"So you can hear me."

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPrnf3xCLY

She grinned proudly.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdD6JGWqmg

"I knew it."

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjyT2uGORA

Suddenly, Methon stood up.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsBtQTzLsm

His voice was calm...

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqqYOi4ou6

Too calm.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjaxnD5SOj

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

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVliPQ6ejg

Valindra's smile faded.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JRyS2Iv3y

"I don't know who you are."

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACv3q5EpCZ

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

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwQNnY8zl8

"I don't care about your family."

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pzmreSSlR

"I don't care about Elon."

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwrAuVL1A9

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

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYzlHtjeMQ

His eyes were cold.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQ9RM1meKj

"Can you please leave me alone?"

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmsY30GTc6

The passengers nearby fell silent.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCM4xsa5C6W

Valindra looked at him for a moment.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdF41WUfYIH

Then...

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinKHyRVyL1

She smiled.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RrxDkljiH

"Done?"

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwUSaBflKh

Methon frowned.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtlUz0wxjD

"Because if you're done..."

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTyMfRYyWq

She folded her arms.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsTGYKprCR

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

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6irni8de6K

"You know what's funny?"

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7un5pNaMx

"You keep telling me to leave you alone."

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMlWP9EnrX

"But your face..."

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYfMXkaoi3

She pointed at him.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPMuZ7nVCa

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

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFX5hEpDavO

Methon looked away.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzzJDMbvE1

"I've seen that look before."

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsnGqIvVo4

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

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2VqR9sBpb

"You've been hurt."

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazOF44mCsE

"A lot."

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2laBdOzfxr

He remained silent.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSLgyhPmml

She continued softly.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTDOaDoLxA

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

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHLnDGYudS

"I don't know what happened."

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ovelAgq4u

"But whatever it is..."

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCducCMh09I

"It will pass."

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2elMfLdaZ5

He laughed bitterly.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUPtBEbrxn

"You don't even know me."

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0q9hzdFlSQ

"No."

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgk0ANQvhlz

She smiled.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuaMZ51kZ8

"I don't."

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3GIw6fcMM

"But sometimes..."

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEFfwU1m1e

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

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0YA01s5Ld

For the first time in days...

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmydT7MuyCS

Methon didn't have an answer.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EnB4ga90k

The announcement echoed through the train.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSn1tJyebjv

"The train will halt here for two minutes."

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQQHBWIIsc

Valindra stood up with a smile.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnb8pmzmRu

"I'll be back."

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSp5fAPhDL

"I just need to buy a bottle of water."

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJeAONo5u5

She placed her small sling bag on the seat.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyl8DEUBFFc

"Don't disappear while I'm gone, Mr. Grumpy."

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCskrD47fH

Without waiting for his reply, she stepped off the train.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HuaRBNBen

Methon didn't even look at her.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIWrSgABl8

A few moments later...

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwegkoBaaoJ

The departure whistle echoed across the platform.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bvJ1Liak8

Methon slowly stood up.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlHhy8NmH1

He looked outside through the open door.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthQnvU73GU

People were rushing to board the train.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5lXCS5HC9

Everyone had somewhere to go.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcjjQvYQAM

Everyone had someone waiting for them.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwzbvEnmto

Except him.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJR7zrdAGu

Without thinking...

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKU96xB4qL

He stepped off the train.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwn6jxtISv2

The train slowly began to move.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqI5wyiZ4K

At that exact moment, Valindra turned around with a bottle of water in her hand.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVeNcgUPUt

Her smile disappeared.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJrVrrwB4b

"The train!"

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffFy9QThVP

She started running toward it.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OcEGKV29F

Then she noticed Methon standing calmly on the platform.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSeW0jyvav

"Hey!"

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTkqCll2OG

"What are you doing?"

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcSmdMTa89

"Get back on the train!"

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIqpJFxjHG

Methon remained silent.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSPBxBfoPL

He didn't move.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQz4DYQovo

Valindra looked at the moving train...

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1bu9OdWh0

...then back at him.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQVDiuB5rF

"Oh, seriously?"

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjRtZY1RmP

She stopped running.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0tpzzFO6P

Within seconds...

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCiqBeRCiP

The train disappeared into the darkness.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjGqgVZ3Md

She walked toward Methon, completely out of breath.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpiRJkemQ3

She folded her arms and stared at him.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAmGjqUbGD

"Congratulations."

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCL8o43LjGd

"Because of you..."

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFkkzcYGY9

"...I missed my train."

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41AXabKXAA

So now, you're the one who's going to drop me off at the next stop. Nobody else. Seriously, where is all this attitude coming from?

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdZPdirxdS

I'm literally here giving you emotional support, begging you to tell me what's wrong so I can understand you, and you're flexing your ego on me? I don't want to hear any excuses.

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGp6ZnFpAtC

You are taking me to that next station, end of story. Then you are the guy...

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGqCqWFiUv

She had no idea...

20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZU2n0z6Hj

Their journey had only just begun.20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdveHtqigT2
