It has been a while since King had decided to drink and now that he was finally in Crocus, he was determined to celebrate himself, with alcohol and girls. In the background was a melody that the bar had branded its own, although it wasn’t those songs that would be played at cafes or restaurants, but songs that would be played at a concert. The loud music blared from the lacrima speakers, albeit it was quickly overwhelmed by the laughter and conversations as well as loud cheers from some drunk townsfolk as they discussed about whatever that could occupy their minds. Among them was a silver-haired wizard, treating himself a cup of ale and wine, accompanied with some women that had come to enjoy the taste of some alcohol.

It was funny how these girls were trying so hard to flatter him, to catch his attention and seducing with their looks. Undoubtedly, being a playboy, King easily deferred into the attractive looks of these women, as they would blatantly display their cleavage and thrust their bottoms at him, attempting to grind against him along with the rhythm of the music. And of course, he enjoyed all the attention that he was receiving from the girls though, that didn’t stop him from having another sip from his mug of ale. King wished that he had changed his outfit instead of showing at the bar with clothing back from his kingdom, though to his eyes, it was what most people wore in his country, but with less gold and cheap cloth. Then, he wouldn’t have to struggle dancing along with these women whom he would even bother remembering their names.

The late afternoon was clear and bright, with a gentle breeze from the sea cooling the summer heat, announcing the coming of summer’s hottest days. It was of common occurrence to find Snowflake with her particularly unkempt silver hair in the most austere locations at the most random of times and that wasn’t entirely made up of her own silly reasons. It has been a while since she had decided to take a break although her frequent routine of checking the request boards did not actually permit her to rest either, since she preferred to be busy doing something, always. The citizens of the town had begun to return to their families, now that their duty has been done, some heading back to their home while others head to an inn or a pub to relax with a cup of alcohol, and Snowflake was among one of them.

It wasn’t often that Snowflake decided to have a drink but when she does, she either returns home with just a couple drinks of beer or gets wasted entirely, though she assumes that it would be the latter. Pushing the oaken doors to the inn open, the scent of alcohol immediately wafted into her nose and loud music pounded her ears. The entire place was packed with people, although it was mostly men and she wondered if it was just this crowded because it was a weekend. Nevertheless, she weaved through the crowd, edging through the dense flow of people and led herself towards the counter of the bar.

King decided to get up off his seat and dance along the music with the other girls that surrounded him, after he chucked off the entire glass of ale and ordered another one. These women were too boring for his taste though, he does enjoy their company and most definitely their ample assets. He grabbed the closest women near him and gently glide his hands along her slender waist while she had her back pressed up against his body. A playful smirk danced along his lips and as he leaned over closer into her, he could inhale the fragrance of perfume that the women had applied to herself. The woman was a beauty, he admitted, however, not special enough to sway him away off his feet. He had always liked women with bright hair and coincidentally, the woman was a ginger, even though he wasn’t sure whether she had dyed her hair or not, in which he wasn’t actually bothered about.

”Would you like to come join me tonight?” He whispered in her ears, a smirk still lingering on his lips. He could see the corners of her lips curve upwards into a small smile as she turned to face him, with her arms wrapped around her neck.

”Sure.”

It was then he caught a glimpse of silver hair within the corner of her eyes, until his gaze landed upon a young woman, who had an entirely different aura compared to the rest of the other girls. His eyes scanned up and down her petite figure and at first glance, King couldn’t help but laugh at himself since he hasn’t met any woman who’s entered an inn in such a dull dress – entirely black as if she was attending a funeral. Albeit, he was very curious to meet such a person who was so different.

”Actually, nevermind. You go dancing on your own.” With that, he peeled her hand off her body and turned towards the new girl, leaving the ginger standing there with her mouth wide open. ”Have you actually been to a bar? You know, you shouldn't dress that way.” He began, seating himself right next to her.

Snowflake seated herself at one of the vacant wooden stools located at the counter of the bar. ”A pint of beer, please.” She called out over the man, busy making drinks and tending the other customers’ needs but once he heard her order, the man displayed a thumbs up without facing her. The wizard glanced around the area, taking in everything before her sight. Girls sitting on their men’s lap, giggling to each other while the rest of the males continued to talk about some nonsense that she probably would not understand. Laughter overpowers the jukebox and conversations swirl in a dirty cloud of smoke, the stagnant stench of cigarettes hides within the collaboration of mephitic odours.

A sharp smell of drink wafts towards her, like black plumes bellowing from the windows of a burning house as the bartender located her order in front of her. Raising her glass to her lips, she took a small sip of the drink and pulled a slight frown. She had never been fond of beer and knowing how terrible it tasted, she wished she had ordered a cup of wine instead. Just then, a young man scooted over to her side, leaning in front of her only to make a snarky comment regarding about her dress.

Cerulean eyes quickly wander over the features of his face and no doubt, he was one of the most good-looking men she has ever seen but with a sour personality like his, there was no way in hell that Snowflake would get along with this man. As much as she tried to bit back a rude remark, she was not going to withstand the fact that her favourite dress was being insulted. ”Probably even more than you.” It was an obvious lie, but it wasn’t as if the man would know whether or not she has been going to and from inns and pubs. The reason she did not want to enter bars was also because of the reason that she did not want to encounter men like him.

”Besides, why do you care what I’m wearing? Unless you’re a pervert.”

The white haired lady retorted, picking up her mug of beer and prepared to move to the other location where she wouldn’t be bother. It would be best if she was able to dance alone, where her presence would not be disturbed. Snowflake stood up from her seat and turned around to face away from the man.

King noticed how the other woman grew defensive when he had made the comment, although her face remained expressionless. It confused him for a moment, about how the person could barely display any emotions and talk like a corpse at the same time. ”’More than me?” The man smirked, chuckling to himself when he saw right through her lie. After being with women for so long, he had the ability to study women just through their actions, however, this one was slightly complicated. He couldn’t read her actions, nor her mind – not to mention, she would hardly smile or show distaste towards him, even though he knew from her words that she did not like him from the beginning.

”Perhaps, I’m a pervert.” The man grinned, shrugging himself and placed his mug of ale on the table. Without saying another word, the woman stood up from her seat and prepared to leave, most likely away from him. ”Whoa, mademoiselle, I was joking. You can keep sitting here.” King grabbed her arm slightly, noticing how small it was inside his big hand although he could still feel the tone muscles underneath her clothing. ”Or am I that scary?” He made sure not to exert too much force but released her arm from his grasp.

The man titled her head slightly at an angle, to get a better view of the young lady and noticed how she had her eyes covered with a dark piece of cloth. He wondered what would be behind the cloth and the reason why she had it on around her face, hopefully no more than a pair of eyes. Compared to other women that he had met, this young lady had a different aura, possibly a bit overwhelming for him. She had a confident stature of herself and even from the way she dressed, he could tell that she was very different, which was also the reason why he was drawn towards her. King had always been good in deciphering people from their actions and after studying her movements, he could tell that she preferred solitude over anything else. ”So, what’s your name?”

Just as Snowflake pushed herself off her seat, a firm hand grasped around her arm and she immediately turned to face the man, with a slightly arched brow. He declared that it was meant to be a joke, followed by a chuckle and suggested that she should just remain in her seat. As blue hues crossed over the gaze of golden, she searched for any suspicious intentions behind those pretty eyes. Apart from his snarky remark, he doesn’t appear to be an entirely bad person overall. She climbed onto her seat once again and took another sip from the cup of beer. Normally, she would have already stopped drinking but since she didn’t want to waste her money, she figured she would finish this glass and try out a better drink.

”Snowflake.”

She responded without facing him, her answer simple and straight-forward, just like her personality. Previously, she had noticed how he was staring at her intently, not in a mischievous way but there was confusion written on the features of his face, as if he was wondering what was behind the dark cloth that wrapped around her eyes. ”Curious, huh?” She turned to look at him as she waited on what sort of reaction he would give. ”They’re just my eyes.” She mumbled, her fingers idly grazing over the cloth before she located her chin on her palm while her elbow rested on the wooden counter. Snowflake let her eyes study his appearance once again and realised how unique and different his clothing was, compared to the ones that she has seen.

It was intricated with complicate design, although it wasn’t necessarily bad, but instead, the details suited the outfit really well. Gold and teal were imbedded in the clothing and chains were hooked onto the area around his shoulder where his cape would fall over his seat and over the wooden floorboard. From just one glance, she knew that it would not be from Fiore. ”You’re not from Fiore, are you?”

”Snowflake…”

King repeated, the word swirling in his mind before he registered it into his thoughts, since he intended to remember her name, for the first time in a long while. ”It’s a pretty name.” He commented, a smile growing onto his lips and gulped down the entire glass of ale that he had ordered. When the bartender crossed the counter and their gazes interlocked, he raised his index finger, indicating the other man that he wished to have another glass. ”My name’s King.” It was a simple name, easy to remember and likely to stick in people’s minds better than other names.

When this girl called, Snowflake, caught him staring at her, he couldn’t help but avert his gaze away and force out a laugh to hide his embarrassment. Although he was curious, he didn’t expect her to be so honest to inform him that it was just a pair of eyes, just like he had expected. The bartender pushed another glass of ale in his direction and with a spread of his palm, he caught it in his hands before lifting it up to his mouth and chucked down at least a quarter of the liquid. He wasn’t sure why he was in such a hurry, but part of him wished to get a little bit tipsy to enjoy himself, which would take a couple more drinks.

”Yes.” He paused, sipping from his alcohol and continued, ”I’m from a country called Desierto. Let me guess.” King took a sharp intake of breath, holding a finger up in front of him so that she wouldn’t speak. ”My clothing gave it away, am I right?” The man grinned and although he already knew the answer to his question, he wanted to hear her response. A lot of people, mostly the ones he had met, figured that he was a foreigner based on his mild oriental fashion which seemed to ooze a bit of doubt for the likelihood of him being a Fiore-bound wizard for the local men.

Not wanting to taste any more of the terrible beer, Snowflake chucked down the entire glass of alcohol down her throat, which left a rather sour expression on her face. ”Can I have rum instead?” She called out for the bartender, her voice overwhelmed by the loud chatter near her and the booming music playing in the background. The bartender nodded, barely managing a smile before he scuttled away to tend his business. It would have been better if there were at least 2 bartender during the weekends, when every pub in the town would be crowded with people. Fingers drummed against the counter as she waited for her drink and glanced around her before her gaze would fix onto King once again.

King – a ruler of a country, could also be prescribed as a leader. It was a very unique name, admittedly although she wondered what sort of family would name their son as King. She noticed how both of them had ridiculous names although hers was not actually official but mostly used by people around her. She did not wish anyone to use her full name nor did she even intend to tell them about it. The reason why she discarded her real name was also because she wished to forget her past and move on, to become a free spirit and wander around the country of Fiore and possibly more.

”Desierto, I’ve heard of it.”

The woman nodded, recalling her memories of shutting herself inside a library, her head buried in books as she studied about things that were way beyond her knowledge. Despite the fact that she did not have a social life due to her being a bookworm, the knowledge that she had gained had been useful to her, especially since she became a mage where she would have to apply her experiences in certain areas. Also, she liked being intelligent and superior than the others and books had always been a source of freedom for her, for she could imagine whatever she wanted and study about the live that existed out of the country as well as the planet.

As night deepened, more people come and go through the bar and before he noticed, the entire inn was packed with people already. His gaze glided across the room and landed on a young girl who had just entered the pub with a tiny dress encased around her body. Their gazes interlocked and the girl would smile seductively at him while King would smirk and gave her a wink across the room. He shifted his gaze back to the counter and finished off the rest of the drink before ordering another one and he was not going to stop until he was either drunk or tipsy. King watched Snowflake ordered a glass of rum instead of beer and he couldn’t help but laugh at the face she made when she forced down the beer down her throat.

”You don’t like beer?”

It was rather unusual for someone who doesn’t enjoy beer to like rum since it tasted even stronger than the other one. Subtly, he observed her from head to toe. The woman was certainly the entire opposite of his type, but for some reason, he was drawn towards her and found her appearance very nique. She was attractive in her own certain way, although he preferred woman with long hair with bright colours while Snowflake’s hair was cut short and simply, a plain silver colour. King noticed how her choice of clothing was extremely dull as well, since she was only in black and white. Nonetheless, he assumed she had a rather interesting personality and unlike other girls, the young woman had not even make a single move to hit on him yet and barely even showed any interest in him.

”Say, do you want to play a drinking game?”

Shortly after, a mug of rum was placed in front of her by the bartender before he scuttled away to continue making the rest of the drinks. Taking a sip, Snowflake closed her eyes for a brief moment and enjoyed the taste of the liquor on her tongue until her train of thoughts was interrupted by the man sitting beside her. ”No. Beer tastes horrible.” She answered, and continued to gulp down the rum, leaving the cup with only a quarter of liquid. It was strange; she had always preferred stronger alcohol, such as rum, tequila, whiskey or vodka instead of beer, which was also the reason why she always gets wasted whenever she visits a bar, though infrequent as it may be.

As a person who never enjoyed being among crowds or loud places, Snowflake refrained from visiting such places and would only do so when she knows that there wouldn’t be too many people and especially as a form of relaxation after she had completed a strain of quests. She finished the glass of rum much quicker than the time she took drinking her beer and sighed loudly upon finishing her glass. When she held the glass in front of her, the bartender would quickly add more alcohol in her glass. While she waited, King brought up drinking games into discussion and Snowflake immediately nodded without any hesitation.

”What kind of drinking game is it? And, what does the winner get?”

A little challenge would be fun at this hour and the game would also be useful to distract her from the loud music in the background and to help her ignore random drunk people bumping into her shoulder frequently.

King chucked down another glass of ale and by this time, he wasn’t sure how many cups he has been drinking and he was starting to get tipsy. Upon finishing his glass, he slighty raised a finger to attract the bartender attention and whispered in his ear to get another glass of vodka. He was bound to get drunk faster than normal this time but he could care less about it; he was starting to have fun, after all. By seeing how fast Snowflake responded, it seemed that she was interested in the drinking game that he had proposed, although she barely showed any expressions of enthusiasm on her face. The young man didn’t let it bother him that much and began, ”Hmm….” He paused, placing his index finger on his chin and began thinking about the details of the game.

”This game is called Two Truths & A Lie. It's a game where each of us will have to identify which of three statements is a lie. If you guessed it wrong, you take a shot and the winner gets...” He looked up at the ceiling and rubbed his chin once again. ”…I don’t know. We’ll come up with something later. Let's start the game with an easy one.” The bartender came by once again to deliver the entire bottle of vodka and before he went away, King hastily ordered two cups for shots.

”I like girls. I like money. I like swimming.” And so, the game begins.

With her chin resting on both of her palms, Snowflake listened to the details of the game. It was definitely one she has never heard before, but then she hasn’t even played a drinking game in her life before, which was the reason why she was slightly excited to try it out. The girl nodded once the explanation was done and the bartender located a large bottle of vodka and two small cups, specifically for shots. Seeing the entire bottle, this game was going to be intense. She has never been an enormous drinker but she was also not one who would get drunk so easily, however, vodka was pretty extreme and to even finish half the bottle, she couldn’t imagine it.

”Let’s…go for it.” She was a bit hesitant, slightly shaking her head but went with the challenge anyway, since she didn’t like to give up so easily without trying.

The first round was pretty easy to guess albeit, Snowflake assumed that King was probably just throwing easy statements for her to get used to the game. No doubt, the pace of the game would pick up extremely fast soon enough. ”I like swimming is definitely a lie.” One glance at King and everyone would be able to guess that he enjoys the company of women specifically. Also, being from a country like Desierto, it is possible that he would like having loads of money as well. It was a lucky guess but hopefully, it would be correct.

"My turn. I've travelled all around Fiore. I love desserts. I'm a bookworm."

The corners of his lips curved upwards into a smirk when Snowflake agreed to play the drinking game with him. His first question directed towards the lady was quite easy and she seemed to respond without hesitation and undoubtedly, she got the answer correct. The man nodded, impressed at her first attempt at observing King although, it’s not that hard to guess that he was definitely a playboy. King does like water however, he wouldn’t say that he enjoyed swimming. In fact, he has never even swam in his life, until he travelled to Fiore and was able to make a visit to the beach when he was in Hargeon, coincidentally.

King took the shot from his glass, not because he lost the round or anything, but just for the sake of it. The liquid slipped down his throat and he could feel the burning sensation inside his stomach. He was aware that drinking too much of this alcohol would probably take a toll on his body but, he could risk it for a single night, especially with such an interesting girl sitting in front of him. Normally, he wouldn’t play such stupid games with anyone but instead spend his time flirting with girls and making out with them, apparently. Though, it was sure that he was flirting with Snowflake as well but his actions were very subtle and he also ensured himself to not make it too obvious.

”You loving desserts is a lie. Correct?” The man raised an eyebrow, hoping that his choice of answer was true. Snowflake definitely did not appear like someone who would enjoy sweet things but then it was hard to tell since she barely even shows any expressions. Moreover, they have just met a few hours ago.

The game has not even begun, yet, King had already started to drink the alcohol that filled the cup. Patiently, she waited for him to finish the drink and give her the answers. She watched how his face would scrunch up upon drinking the liquid and from the look of it, the alcohol does not seem to be very tasty. When he was done, he wasted no time to give his answer, barely even spending a minute to consider his response but instead, immediately stated of what he thought was a lie. Upon hearing his response, a small grin made its way onto the thin line of her lips, almost hardly visible, as she filled the empty cup for the man with vodka.

”Go ahead and drink up.”

This would be the perfect game for her and since she was very hard to guess due to her ambiguous appearance, she was positive that she had the advantage of winning the game, although she was not going to bet on it. ”Oh, I may not look like it but I definitely love pastries.” It was probably very unexpected but it was who she was – very unpredictable, and that was how she wanted to be. She located her elbow on the counter and rested her chin on the palm once again, contemplating on what facts and lie she should add the next round and curious of how King would respond to the lie.

King gasped at her response, his mouth hung opened, almost impossible to believe that he actually guessed wrong but then, he did not even consider his options and blurted out his answer. He smacked his gloved hand across his face for his own stupidity and without saying another word, he chucked down the shot of vodka that was just filled by Snowflake. God, it tastes horrible, he thought, wondering who would actually enjoy this terrible drink on this planet, despite being someone who is partly an alcoholic.

”Goodness, I never thought you would like sweets. You don’t look like one. So, what was the lie?”

The young woman does have an intelligent look for herself; formal and sophisticated and he could imagine her reading a book at a library or just somewhere quiet, away from people. So far, King was enjoying the game himself as much as he wanted the lady in front of him to be as well although, with such strong drinks, he was already starting to get tipsy but it would be long before he would be drunk, for he has extremely high tolerance for alcohol. ”You’re doing good.” He complimented, clearly impressed into tricking him but quickly moved onto the next round.

”Here goes nothing.” King smiled and paused, while he pondered about himself and how he should trick her into losing this round. ”I’m very interested in a person. I never wanted to become a wizard or a mage. I lived in a house filled with maids and butlers. This was going to be a hard guess, just like how he wanted to be. He did not have any intentions to tell a story related to his past or how his family was like, albeit, he felt as if he could trust this woman.

Once King had gulped down the liquid, Snowflake did not hesitate to fill his cup right away. First round and she was already winning and hopefully, she would be able to continue this way since she did not even want to take a sip of that alcohol, which seems really awful. The expressions on his face would go worse every time he chucks the drink down his throat and somehow, she felt bad for him. Although, it was King who decided on the game. ”That I ever travelled the entire Fiore.” She replied to his question and crossed her legs over another before clasping her hands on her knees.

”I’m still travelling, but I haven’t visited every single town in Fiore yet, which is actually one of my ambitions.” Snowflake was startled by her own answer and did not even expect herself to speak so much when normally, she would barely say anything to her comrades – let alone strangers.

Snowflake quietly listened to his statements and took a long moment to contemplate on the options. It was very difficult to guess and considering the fact that they have just met, she barely knew anything about him and she did not want to make assumptions based on his appearance either. After she had spent a while making her decision, she concluded, ”You never wanted to become a wizard or a mage.” Honestly, her resolve was technically based on his appearance; King does not seem to have any ambitions, fools around with women a lot and he looks very laid-back with everything. It was possible that he did not want to become a mage, but just for the sake of it.

King raised his eyebrows in surprise at her answer since he had assumed that Snowflake was a Fiore-bound wizard and therefore, she would have at least been around the entire country. Apparently, he was wrong. The country was large, after all. ”So, you’re actually a bookworm.” A playful smile danced on his lips, an expression of amusement washing over his face. Books are almost ancient and there aren’t a lot of people these days who would still be interested in them. Perhaps, Snowflake was one of the few who does and he respected that. In fact, he thought she was really unique. ”What kind of books do you read?” He asked, as though he was interested in the discussion of books.

The silver haired man was never a big fan of obtaining knowledge, albeit, he had a talent in studying and is very intelligent. Back in Desierto, when he was home-schooled, the majority of the tutors had to return back to their hometowns after teaching him, not because he was a terrible student, but mostly because he absorbed all the studies extremely fast, almost inhuman, which left the tutors nothing to teach him anymore. He was never interested in education, anyhow and only did it just to impress his high-profile parents.

”Pfft – Bahahahahahaha!” The lad bursted out laughing, grabbing his stomach even though he was not sure of the reason of why he was guffawing. It took him a long minute to regain his composure before he gently nudged Snowflake’s vodka shot in front of her. ”Wrong. Your turn to drink.” He had sort of expected that she was going to go for that statement but honestly, it was a rather hard one for Snowflake, he could understand. Nevertheless, it was still a game and he wanted to see her drink and perhaps, even get tipsy after wondering what would it be like for such an emotionless person to be drunk.

The fellow android did nothing but stare at him awkwardly as King roared in laughter by himself but she just assumed that the man was just drunk and did not bother him to inform him that he looked silly laughing on his own. A sigh escaped her lips and she had to wait for a good, long moment until he finally stopped, only to confirm the fact that she was actually a bookworm. The woman nodded without hesitation, proud that the fact that she was into books and nothing else. There’s a saying called ’Knowledge is power’ and Snowflake most definitely believes the same.

”Mostly classics. But, any book will do as long as they’re fun to read.” She spoke, her hands gesturing and making signs to make emphasis on her sentence.

Snowflake was quite doubtful of her own choice of decision and apparently, she was correct that her answer was wrong. It was unexpected, that King would be interested in becoming a wizard and perhaps, that was the reason why he decided to move to Fiore, or so she assumed. Nodding and accepting her own failure in the second round, she raised the cup to her lips and swallowed down the liquid within one single gulp. Though her expressions hardly showed anything, inside, a sense of regret washed over her body upon her agreement in this game. If she had known from the beginning that she was supposed to drink such horrible alcohol, she would not have accepted his challenge.

Acting as if nothing happened, she hesitantly placed the cup back onto the table and forced herself to move on with the game. This time she was not going to go easy on the man, since she does not want even another sip from that drink called vodka. ”Before I continue, you actually live in a house filled with maids and butlers? Do you live in a castle or something?” She wouldn’t be too surprised if King was a son of some wealthy man. He dresses nicely and he is from a different country, after all.

”Classics. I see. Those are fun to read.” King lied, but he had always been a good liar. He was never a fan of classics but because his tutors would force him to read them back in his family’s house, he had no other choice but to finish the entire book because he couldn’t stand the tutors nagging at him and he also wanted to impress his parents, though they never were. Snowflake, on the other hand, does seem like a person who would enjoy books more than him. He watched her take the shot from the drink and the grin on his lips would dig into a deep frown when he saw no other expressions on his face upon drinking the alcohol as he wondered if anything would ever affect this woman. But then, it just shows how different she is from others.

King contemplated on whether he should share his story with Snowflake but since he was aware that she is indeed, a nice person, he decided to do so, although just a hint of his history. ”Yes, I do live in a place like that. It’s not a castle, but more like a mansion.” He paused as memories of his hometown came flooding through his mind. Though he may not like his family, he actually enjoyed being in his country and now that he was reminded of it, there was an empty feeling in his chest. ”I don’t want to sound so boastful, but yes, my family is quite wealthy.” He added. King felt compelled to pour out his feelings and want to share his experiences back in his country with Snowflake as he felt that he could trust her, as infrequent as it may be.

Her assumptions were correct after all. Looking at King once again, she realised how he would be from a wealthy family, the way he dresses, the type of clothing he wears and most of all, he had a different vibe from the men she had met, not that it was many. In fact, the only men she knew in her life were mostly the members from her guild, Blue Pegasus, and her father, although she could barely even remember how he looked like. There was a sudden mood change between the two of them, when King began to explain how his household was. It was strange. People would be happy to mention their families and explain how it was like to be back in their hometown but King was different.

There was solemn look on his face and for a brief moment, he seemed distant. There were probably many things that occurred to him before he moved to Fiore but Snowflake was not going to probe further unless he would share his stories. The young woman nodded, and for the first time in her life, she could share his pain and understood how he felt. It was hard for her to move on when the incident occurred to her family when she was a child but she has finally learnt to let things go for the better. The youth placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder without saying any other word. Sometimes, not saying anything was better than blurting something unnecessary.

”I have to go now, King. I don’t want to return home too late, now that I’m a bit tipsy. It was nice to meet you.”

Snowflake finished her glass of shot before pushing towards further into the counter so that the bartender would be able to collect it easily. With a gentle press of her cheek against his, she bid farewell to the man that accompanied her for the night and entertained her with drinking games. It had been a fun day, despite the fact that she was extremely exhausted since morning and silently wishing she would be able to meet him another time, Snowflake disappeared into the crowd that filled the bar through the rest of the long night.

King was quite surprised on how Snowflake had reacted when he had shared a tiny bit of his story. This woman can as emotionless as she wants, but he was highly aware that she was also a nice person as well as a good listener. Upon receiving a gentle pat on his shoulder, the man would manage a small smile, his gaze fastened on hers. It was unexpected, but he, himself, had already drawn interest on this girl. In fact, he was, from the moment they had met. She was very different and if it was possible, he wished to know more about her, although he doubted that it would happen anytime soon.

”Well, I could send you home.” He stated, but Snowflake easily interrupted him and before he knew, he felt her warm and soft skin against his cheek. Stunned, King remained still, staring at the ground as if it was the most interesting thing ever as Snowflake bid farewell and meandered out of the bar. A wave of colour rushed his cheeks, unexpectedly. For someone who has been in contact with so much women, it was shocking for him to react that way to an action that barely meant anything. ”I hope we meet….” He mumbled to none other than himself and added, ”…again.”
