"Spooky winter..."
her arms being wrapped around her shoulders, looking grumpy.
"I can't blame her, the weather gives off bad vibes for me…"
"Might as well start going on the road way then"
I shove my hands in the pockets of my black winter clothes before going.
Squeezing our eyes throughout the time walking in the heavy fog to avoid its bacteria.
"Now that I think about it, this fog isn't just an ordinary fog but a fog with acid in it and is mixed with coldness."
I thought, flashbacks hit me because the wind was blowing at me. Remembering the time I was awake in the middle of the night, I could still feel the gloomy touch from that night.
I didn't get any information from those apps too because they were all "locked"
I was disappointed when I couldn't get into any of them.
"H- how long are we going to mak- make it..?"
Yi Mei Yu said, shivering like crazy because of the freezing cold.
After a while, we managed to get through that fog and happened to step upon a…?
Like a square bus stop yet much more modern with black glass that has a billboard on it and with a halo spinning around at the upper of the inverted triangle. There were paths around it, too.
"As expected, we have to team up with the other survivors."
I thought, feeling disturbed by the fact that other survivors will also come.
"Are there other survivors?"
"There were 8 billion humans before this disaster, Mei…"
"Now that you have said it, we're not supposed to be together."
"What do you mean?"
"The system might've made us be together without realization because I was suppose to be standing at my school but all of a sudden, there were fog surrounding around me everywhere and somehow got into the same place as you guys"
"..."
"You're right, Mei. I was supposed to be with my friend, I do hope that she's okay though."
"Silence."
"..."
"..."
The both of them looked at me quietly, their mouth were buttoned-up the moment I told them to.
Yi Mei Lu looked around for signs of people coming, and suddenly heard an unfamiliar voice
"Qiu Jing… When are we going to make it??"
Yi Mei Lu felt goosebumps around her skin and went towards Akiyama Suzu, as she was walking towards her.
She noticed her eyes softened as she gazed at the direction of the people coming, as if she had seen the light of her life.
"Ms Suzu?—"
Before she could called out to her, she was interrupted by the same voice, this time the voice was high.
"Suzu-chan!!!"
Yi Mei Lu jerked at the loud voice of the girl and hid behind Akiyama Suzu out of scareness
"Suzu-chan!!!??"
Yi Mei Lu thought, her face looked frightened and anxious as she held on to her wrist
A girl with long dark brown hair suddenly went up to Akiyama Suzu and folded both of her hands with hers in excitement.
"Suzu-chan, are you okay? Did you feel any better from your pregnancy? Did you get any headaches lately??"
"I—I… I'm fine, it is thanks to that man…"
She replied before slowly reaching out to point at me, the girl turned to me in confusion
"The way she looks at me seems as if she is about to beat my ass… Good grief."
I pondered, standing there quietly as I waited for her next move.
"Thank you for looking out for her,"
"No problem."
Her tone even changed to coldness, too.
Yi Mei Lu went towards my back nervously while staring at the girl,
"I am Yi Hua[1] by the way."
I nodded quietly before turning to the guy beside me.
He was four inch taller than me and had a light tan skin tone. He has black hair, his hair was styled fashionably and one of his splitted bangs was pointing to the right while the other bang was shrugged with the hair.
His face shape was clean like a diamond and his jawline was sharp, his eyebrows were thick yet soft at the end. His body was not thin or fit, it was neutral.
He was wearing a black sweat shirt with long sleeves and a long black coat that covered up the sweat shirt with some chains around under his waistcoat.
His pants were like those average office workers would wear and his shoes were also like those average shoes that people would go out for work.
But then, there was one thing that caught my attention, his eyes. It was sharp yet gentle at the same time with that beautiful blue eye colour that seems to represent the ocean, mixing with the whole galaxy under the ocean colour.
There, he stands beside me with his arms crossed while watching them talk.
"M-mister…?"
The guy felt a child's hand thugging his coat and he turned to see her, it was Yi Mei Lu that had thugged his coat
"Hm?"
"What's your name…?"
"Qiu Jing,"
"Cool name…!"
I watched Yi Mei Lu nervously talking to him before turning away to see three other people were coming from the other roadway.
There were two girls and one boy, it seems that they were at school before.
The tan girl was sucking a lollipop while walking with the other two, the blonde one seemed to be the quiet one among them, and in the middle was a short boy, he had wavy length hair with white hair colour. His eyes were simply fox eyes with glasses on.
I stared at them three for a while before walking up to them, maybe getting along with new people wouldn't be so bad.
"What are you guys' names?"
"Uh— I'm Kim Sieon"
"This tan girl is Kang Chanim and this blondie is Bai YingXuan."
I nodded to his response, looking around to the others.
Yi Mei Lu and Qiu Jing were starting to get along well with each other and so did Akiyama Suzu with Zhu Yi Hua talking to each other like best friends.
While I stared at them, Kang Chanim and Bai YingXuan are probably close with each other by the fact she is wrapping her arm around her neck.
"8 totals..."
"..."
I sounded stupid, counting all of them with my fingers.
I stood back at the black square, its black glossy reflecting me. I looked ugly. At the same time, people used to call me all beauty and angel that had came from the heaven before.
I didn't deny their words, I do look like that kind of ugly. Swore to my life that I didn't make myself ugly, it was the creator themselves who thought it would be a great idea to give me this kind of appearance.
In the background, was noisy yet calm. Like the birds trying to interact with the tress by poking its skin off but ended up being called a "disruption" to the nature.
This wouldn't be a good game for me, it is torture.
I ended up falling asleep while sitting on the ground, with my head leaning to the black square.
