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

"Excuse me..."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHnOQpw7hk

Methon didn't move.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFxnqqzaWx

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

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUDHJ0edyI

"Hello? Earth to handsome stranger."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITCMFjhRAz

Still no response.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UjoVikcwb

She sighed dramatically and pointed at the seat.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgy2KbHAMeD

"You're sitting in my seat."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1P5FdB7rLC

Silence.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSMAguBAlx

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

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxR3U4Njmf

The girl shrugged.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1N0BdL83ex

"Fine. I don't mind."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sewcy7iMX

She smiled to herself and grabbed the overhead pole instead.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6WsEVtpF3

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

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqr9mXcaxWg

The train began moving again.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVHJGGPwWm

For a few seconds, she quietly observed him.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDDT7sHtJ2

His expensive suit.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCyBXCIwDr

His tired eyes.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4q12Fi4CgP

His clenched fists.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9LEMarsjW

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

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKQA3vKcB5

She tilted her head.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWs0XDpTGF

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

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCn6mDZQD5

No answer.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWbeT1dB7r

"My name is Valindra."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90rH68Fijo

Nothing.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouCDvWlcxB

"I'm a college student."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpilf0cZy4H

Silence.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATN9DLfSVE

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

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CushSuckI

Still nothing.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulijRBktpL

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

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4X80e2pll

She paused before smiling.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlyPpKckhm

"But I already love someone else."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorpp8GxQpj

Methon's fingers tightened slightly.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxjSju3MV5

His eyes remained fixed on the floor.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTK2LWhBpHQ

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

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0UUS7cW38

She laughed softly.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfu14uEhvA

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

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWp5dEkhMb

She leaned a little closer.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVznCDsz9H

"But I'm not giving up."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCV2I1cTei

She whispered dramatically,

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiRdJar5Ls

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

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMl0tKbUi4

Methon's jaw tightened.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpFdMIYxR5

Valindra didn't notice.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcfGG4Lc7N

"I love a guy named Elon."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgBO55rLg6

She smiled dreamily.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOE0crz1st

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

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2B4cvPwx42

She kept talking without expecting a reply.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnYzcZumHG

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

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVQFvtLD1T

"My grandparents are on their side."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxD5g83LXQ

"My cousins keep teasing me."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbeDOAw3tE

"But honestly..."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3NGCNWpsh

She smiled.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyEmXYDymt

"Life is only once."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8i9cXtf6V

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

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9m0grDYan

For the first time, Methon slowly lifted his head.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhB6mOF7Ld

Valindra noticed.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydxuPWgbt4

"Oh!"

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFxX1MfDsl

"So you can hear me."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RPaThJimW

She grinned proudly.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwKbfRaEAW

"I knew it."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIO7f6HvqKX

Suddenly, Methon stood up.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSNIiIDYPl

His voice was calm...

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvB6adkm4GR

Too calm.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1F7M2ihZHZ

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

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG6csYrNX3

Valindra's smile faded.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapAeBFQf9E

"I don't know who you are."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7uxqJVsLW

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

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3jUeykvEc

"I don't care about your family."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05HZjhgEv6

"I don't care about Elon."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6h4tG6aZB

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

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hz5AbZBlv

His eyes were cold.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlSLWwuXvb

"Can you please leave me alone?"

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3pZItsMpt

The passengers nearby fell silent.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpzkevzj4l

Valindra looked at him for a moment.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GE7jjlvwq

Then...

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBegJHuoye

She smiled.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVId6PTZ1Q

"Done?"

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wJXwPhh75

Methon frowned.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeznz0m2A4A

"Because if you're done..."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3M8X9QOMl

She folded her arms.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ex4CzvHuG

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

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWzWtuhizM

"You know what's funny?"

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMj7O6wHjc4

"You keep telling me to leave you alone."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibdGgmM9XV

"But your face..."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlakW8jnNL

She pointed at him.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2WxE5Pxdi

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

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrp3ouZi2kW

Methon looked away.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvYvVpYRht

"I've seen that look before."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbN9WOEDswu

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

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCVoXHoBOQ

"You've been hurt."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNN9ig1iUyS

"A lot."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntQSXVoNoc

He remained silent.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGjZ3dZf06

She continued softly.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgd2yT1w2v

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

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOxGPxmznY

"I don't know what happened."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheWd1Td2Af

"But whatever it is..."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykKh2hX0tN

"It will pass."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRF1LKeH3M

He laughed bitterly.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGpPNtalzG

"You don't even know me."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H9n29Rq67

"No."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbijRlexZcy

She smiled.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RacadRfQ1

"I don't."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9m08MOkqzL

"But sometimes..."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2m8IUukdm9

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

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9x3C6Nkbw

For the first time in days...

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2euNJpJmp

Methon didn't have an answer.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkv87YdofVF

The announcement echoed through the train.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74Z6QYNT5e

"The train will halt here for two minutes."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonZ1HnRS9M

Valindra stood up with a smile.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCD4E1vGeY

"I'll be back."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Qf23t81nj

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

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzhAbIFSTb

She placed her small sling bag on the seat.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46YSEKTzag

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

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEbP3pPMl5

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

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXPG9MZU0c

Methon didn't even look at her.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQV7QrdxIs

A few moments later...

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiomnaP5BLw

The departure whistle echoed across the platform.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVGSjyt8qU

Methon slowly stood up.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7UpsYe4UU

He looked outside through the open door.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWv9NVNxqDw

People were rushing to board the train.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTmQOK3xjM

Everyone had somewhere to go.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTZ4sZfFIX

Everyone had someone waiting for them.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vtaG2Pe4g

Except him.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8blBBmDut

Without thinking...

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu8ao8nO1d

He stepped off the train.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqneACZoEP

The train slowly began to move.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkV1eUCr6o

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

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34BkEKEwaU

Her smile disappeared.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNWGfFt3Rq

"The train!"

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQ9FXj6x2Q

She started running toward it.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvVuYvcPx3

Then she noticed Methon standing calmly on the platform.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1tTDb0CZd

"Hey!"

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqOI7JQVCx

"What are you doing?"

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7kLalohMi

"Get back on the train!"

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWkC3CDDoq

Methon remained silent.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJG7iCB8o9g

He didn't move.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4tz0ftGYb

Valindra looked at the moving train...

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NbRPabxcR

...then back at him.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQrI4GlQtx

"Oh, seriously?"

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULWSSHOK1N

She stopped running.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TrJEAc2rh

Within seconds...

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNWqHE1KuY

The train disappeared into the darkness.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fxPgDnMA3

She walked toward Methon, completely out of breath.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡub78ji7iAU

She folded her arms and stared at him.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkubJeYCd4

"Congratulations."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrA1Xv3fvD

"Because of you..."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHiBLptgKn

"...I missed my train."

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TfUr1PtSp

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?

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRisY49x7C

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.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRkswZzLw3

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

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKAIePiAgJ

She had no idea...

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jVpMYAP6V

Their journey had only just begun.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5iANt8k5e
