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

"Excuse me..."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7KKPpG63A

Methon didn't move.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4Xa3oxIWp

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9op9Bnp7n

"Hello? Earth to handsome stranger."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AhZnO9Lr5

Still no response.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFrc7lKXhb

She sighed dramatically and pointed at the seat.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqq26Twfct

"You're sitting in my seat."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEPoxv2uBY

Silence.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bcvt52hlH

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZQg6pHKNv

The girl shrugged.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7S0TVSZxJ

"Fine. I don't mind."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QZS37uyti

She smiled to herself and grabbed the overhead pole instead.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJtmWQ7C0p

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93nhiWmjZh

The train began moving again.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqgmFv84A5

For a few seconds, she quietly observed him.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAc8zM5DMs

His expensive suit.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5ZB02EEdN

His tired eyes.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhxM0MyBVO

His clenched fists.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKAPdfp6V5

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7c4VRH0Q3

She tilted her head.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyLBaz7XtF

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrmOQllFbQ

No answer.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXsNPAGGMc

"My name is Valindra."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE33LaCfnMD

Nothing.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEIXsVW3Qm

"I'm a college student."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4y7K2su0V

Silence.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi68Y1XevlJ

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gt3vkhQLk

Still nothing.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQxpdd1eyc

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrRymes9eE

She paused before smiling.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfnOZij9wv

"But I already love someone else."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQGlHuoQe7

Methon's fingers tightened slightly.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yiLKwSUEP

His eyes remained fixed on the floor.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDc22vooPkr

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1e93sl5EVQ

She laughed softly.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjt2RPZrhrS

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeJwMYyVVm

She leaned a little closer.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAmjnOgJBn

"But I'm not giving up."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhXhPeXEpj

She whispered dramatically,

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARena2uEL0

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9TX7Tfy4H

Methon's jaw tightened.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwItUJa6zup

Valindra didn't notice.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqSvORXH1J

"I love a guy named Elon."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSbwWtaaA7

She smiled dreamily.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBVwmJAG0W

"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjMhBpU0AH

She kept talking without expecting a reply.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXBcYlzLMv

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNBl7soe1Q

"My grandparents are on their side."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwb7TSecE0c

"My cousins keep teasing me."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEmkGBzMpD

"But honestly..."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIo6FK2mSa9

She smiled.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbxsUeMiYZ

"Life is only once."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAEcqh6abs

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1TE5DKD9j

For the first time, Methon slowly lifted his head.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwHxaipUyt

Valindra noticed.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcMJV7qGGr

"Oh!"

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslHx7u8dHJ

"So you can hear me."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1Ukh7oFtv

She grinned proudly.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF3unBE5Kg

"I knew it."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeetnZpegjS

Suddenly, Methon stood up.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOH8obgSd5

His voice was calm...

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEMcIzfMNP

Too calm.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdaOqSW7h3

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPgQHbhYhM

Valindra's smile faded.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDD5kxDZ6zZ

"I don't know who you are."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFXrb2o1xz

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrbC5BOECJ

"I don't care about your family."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69hlvvRcjw

"I don't care about Elon."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEfMPvibcJ

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMA6cMddSlW

His eyes were cold.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxjXnQKdo7

"Can you please leave me alone?"

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qW3qrqPGT

The passengers nearby fell silent.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNII4EPFMA

Valindra looked at him for a moment.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Bza8YnfUq

Then...

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRdLNxyiKS

She smiled.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcx6WKreSK

"Done?"

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzo0cdItVH

Methon frowned.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2T4cSNRId

"Because if you're done..."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpC8a2GXqEc

She folded her arms.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgaqPmivfM

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkzSnc2CFD

"You know what's funny?"

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86U1skBfXe

"You keep telling me to leave you alone."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvS4FREsdzE

"But your face..."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtW61k7r756

She pointed at him.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfNZZm72Wf

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHqd5rB5Pz

Methon looked away.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYQKo0nnvm

"I've seen that look before."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1Mc7vNiZk

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeX7SZJu3u

"You've been hurt."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygGD28D7dY

"A lot."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPNngJiBKO

He remained silent.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnhcYw9Bil

She continued softly.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNQKnXwSFB

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7TBVKDhAV

"I don't know what happened."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMWJXkQ7wz

"But whatever it is..."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxzRP9139o

"It will pass."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHsyao20EZ

He laughed bitterly.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpeBk3xZNr

"You don't even know me."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVT7zh42FqH

"No."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuu0gr2tODn

She smiled.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fCS9Y5Dx1

"I don't."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36s7R4vfdL

"But sometimes..."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrntFAoEj9

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6X2YUpaxm

For the first time in days...

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7t2j81qIp

Methon didn't have an answer.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IvLYpCQoP

The announcement echoed through the train.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtm8qqsk4t

"Next station..."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWgn1cKHcE

Valindra looked toward the door.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmq0AdtFQK

"Oh."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCkPfh8tL9

"This is my stop."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnbn5Yz364

She picked up her backpack.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ754pD5oDkz

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Zag2CyDZ8

"I hope one day..."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviLGFraTK6

"...you smile again."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65dk1Z8joC

The train doors opened.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroUnJnUFvA

Methon quietly stepped out as well.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzyLP4Rgva

Valindra blinked in surprise.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPI3tQWCqG

"Wait..."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFKVtODFlF

She laughed.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhfqQRuDDf

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhN7e01MTe

Methon walked away without answering.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHAfiGuIkz

Valindra smiled to herself.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJqhJZgHNN

"This guy is definitely strange."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA24Cd8Mdpl

She had no idea...

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtJPFeZsNW

Their journey had only just begun.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde3nhHnrQT
