Flora inhaled de-eply before picking the phone call.
☎ Hello? She said
☎ Hey, Chubs! Why did you hang up on me earlier today!
☎ Chubs?
☎ Yeah. Chubs.
☎ Huh? Who are you referring to as “chubs”
☎ You
☎ Me?
☎ Yup!
☎Huh? Why are you calling me that?
☎ It’s your nickname.
☎ Why that? It’s not funny! Is it because I’m fat and chubby? It’s not a nickname! It’s an insult!
☎ No… Goodness, Why are you so out of it? I get you are pissed but you shouldn’t throw it out on me like that. I’m sorry.
Flora felt bad hearing his sincere voice. His apology made her feel sorry for her rou-gh character and statement.
☎ No. Don’t mind me–I’m sorry about that. It’s just i–have a lot of things going throu-gh my head. I’m so sorry.
☎ Do you mind sharing it with me. I’m good with secrets in case you are being doubtful of me.
☎ I’m going to think about it.
☎ Then should we meet tomorrow?
☎ Tomorrow? Why?
☎ For a drink? We should know more about ourselves or don’t you think so?
☎ Okay then. There isn’t a problem about that , Flora replied with a sigh.
☎ Okay. Goodnight Chubs!
☎ Hey!!!
☎ Let me give you a spoiler! C stands for “cute”
☎ Huh?
☎ Do you wanna know what the rest of the alphabet stands for?
☎ Hmm, Probably?
☎ Then we meet tomorrow at my place.
☎ What of Ethan? He might—
☎ Ssh!–He hushed loudly. –It’s a Sunday, and you are even an invited guest of mine. You are still gonna come over right?
☎ I will. Good night, I’m hanging up–Beep!
“She could have allowed me to reply before she hanged up!” Ken whispered to himself as he went back to be-d.
***********(THE NEXT DAY) **************
“You want more?” Ken asked holding the jar of
chilled drink.
“No, It’s fine” Flora replied using a wiper on her mouth. Just then, Ethan entered the room where they were.
“Hey Ethan” Flora greeted with a wave. Ethan nodded keeping a stern face.
“Where’s your friend?” He asked now turning his gaze to her.
“Probably at home? Ken was the one that invited me… Oh, I haven’t seen Eric? Where’s he?” Flora asked
“He’s resting or something, But he’s in his room right now” Ethan replied leaving.
“Hey! Bro? Where are you off to?” Ken yelled.
Ethan sighed and looked behind staring at Ken.
“I’m gonna take a walk. Later, dude” Ethan replied leaving.
He eventually left the scene.
“Flora, Are you now curious about the rest?” Ken asked bulging his eyes.
“Well. I’m not curious though. Say it if you want to”
“The H stands for “h0t“…
“What? h0t?–She scoffed loudly. “I guess I was the stupid one to come here, Bye.. I’m off.. Don’t call me for this ever again! Gosh!! You are just being cheesy and silly” She said stra-pping her bag on. She stood up and was about to leave when Ken’s voice jo-lted her.
“Flora? Do you wanna talk about it, The thing that made you pissed off yesterday and couldn’t leave your head?”
“No. Forget about it, Maybe later” Flora retorted
“What about talking about “You?”
“Me?” She asked now turning to him.
“Yeah. You” He replied
“What do you wanna talk about me?”
“Why you couldn’t go on with your dreams, What you dream was, What you could do to realize it again.– Do you nee-d support or a plan? Don’t worry, I’m here” He smiled.
Flora sighed de-eply, she looked at him and bit inside herl-ips ha-rd .
“Ken, Nothing can bring back my dream. It isn’t just broken, I lost it…. A long time ago” She replied sharply. She left immediately not minding to hear or say more. Ken sighed sadly.

Ethan was scrolling on the street of Seoul when he saw a Salon. He t©uçhed his hair and inhaled de-eply.

“Should I just cut it low a bit?, Well… It’s gonna make me look good and it’s even getting longer” He thought. Eventually, He entered and he was attended to.
He was shocked when his eyes met with Alexa. However, She didn’t see him.
Likewise, Alexa was also cutting her hair cut. Her hair was getting longer. She was a girl after all. Her hair couldn’t possibly fool anymore. She always made sure it was low and good looking.
Soon, Alexa was done. She paid and was about leaving when someone’s hand held hers. She looked back at the person shocked.
“Huh?” She hiccu-ped loudly. It was Ethan. She felt her heart beating fast. She couldn’t even bear to look at him.
“Can you wait for me?” He asked quic-kly.
“What? Why?” She struggled to reply.
“Let’s talk” He replied
“Abo–She paused and hiccu-ped again.
“Okay. I’m gonna wait” She replied. Ethan smiled and let go of his hand from Alexas’.
Alexa slowly walked to a vacant seat and sat down. Minutes later, Ethan was done. He gave her a signal and they both walked out. As usual, He had lots of girls on him asking for selfies and autogra-phs. He quic-kly satisfied them and they went on their way.
“Let’s just take a walk and talk a bit, what do you think?” He asked.
“What?” She whispered. Alexa hiccu-ped again.
“Do you want a bottle of water, You keep hiccu-ping?” He asked scratching his hair.
“No.. I’m fine, Let’s just talk here. I’ve got lots of things to do at home”
“Are you very busy?”
“Certainly”
“With?” He asked
“Studying” She replied
“Studying?”
“Yeah. We are gonna catch up and talk as you want tomorrow. But not today, Sorry” She said now running from him.
“Okay then” He replied watching her run from sight.
****(MONDAY MORNING,THE NEXT DAY)****
Elizabeth was s£nt to the market that morning to get some food stuffs for the night.They was still on fast so she felt tired and hungry.
She decided to take a short route to the market though it was a narrow and dangerous just like how every one rumuored about. She mustered up her courage and walked down the lonely road.
While walking, She saw some hefty men, They were three in number. They looked like thieves. They had cigarettes on their mouth. Lizzy saw some ha-rd drugs and alcohol beside them. Some even held sharp objects. She g@sped in fear and stylishly turned back trying to escape from her doom she met.
“Where do you think you are going pretty?” A thick voice snapped. She st©pped immediately and swallowed ha-rd in fear. She felt her legs shake.
She started regretting why she followed that area. If only she could turn back time. It seemed luck had ran out of her and she possibly had no option since they were no single pas-serby.
She faced them and knelt down crying. She began pleading for her life and even the money she held.
She couldn’t lose any, not at this time. However, The men just laughed. They were’nt re-ady for games. One of them who seemed like he was the eldest and the boss t©uçhed her hair and tucked it behind her ear. He blew out the cigarette thick smoke from his mouth to her face. Lizzy closed her eyes ti-ghtly with tears still streaming down her face.
“You are pretty, I wonder how you might taste” His de-ep voice asked. The others laughed.
“Should we give her a try?” The man asked
“No–,, You should give me a try first!” A voice at the other end yelled angrily.
Lizzy quic-kly opened her eyes and turned behind trying to see the hero….
