Megan: third person's point of view.—
A knock on the door interrupted Megan from muttering another set of profanities after she broke the handle of the wooden spatula she was using. How it happened, she doesn't know. She grimaced, eyeing the burnt pureé on the island, still smoking and letting out an unpleasant smell.
Fudge. If it's Andrea, I'm going to bid my farewell to this world-
"Hey, Spencer."
She widened her eyes and tied her hair to a bun. "Eh? Cheeto?"
Another knock made her walk faster. She was met by a fully dressed Aster with a camera on his hand.
"I was out on a walk earlier and was about to enter my apartment when I smelled something burning."
Fudge.
She went outside and quickly closed her door, pushing his body away. "It's noth

Chapter 20Aster: third person's point of view.—"Aw, come on, Cheeto! What's wrong with Titanic?"Aster grimaced at her 35th whine today. "Not everyone is interested in Jack and Rose's love story, Spencer.""Tch. Just admit that your tears are shallow."He shook his head and handed her a ramekin filled with the baked delicacy. "You wish."The pouting girl took it from his hand along with the teaspoon that was supposed to be his– good grief, bless her for her laziness– and stared at the actors playing on the television. "At least you didn't protest watching a Korean drama three weeks ago."As if I have any choice."I wonder why?""Just watch the drama, Spencer."

Chapter 1Megan: third person's point of view.-Amidst a fancy restaurant in the middle of the streets of the busy city, a certain woman was struggling to pull herself together.The ambiance of the whole place, the music, even the food looks exquisite. What a nice way to end a relationship, right?Wrong.Getting your heart broken again is far from being nice.The girl stopped playing with her fork after looking stupid for nearly ten minutes now. Instead, she just clenched her fist under the table and plastered a fake smile."Let's end this," she heard

Chapter 2Aster: third person's point of view.—"I don't know that girl."To say that he was surprised was an understatement."Come again?"Are you kidding me?The woman widened her eyes at the sudden realization. "Wait, I thought you know her? Why did you let her stay in the car?"He shook his head and looked back at the road. "I just moved in three days ago, I don't know anyone except you. I thought you're her aquaintance or something." He scratched his ear and glanced back at the stranger.

Chapter 3 Aster: third person's point of view. — Bringing a girl– a drunk, blabbering nonsense kind of girl to his apartment unit never crossed Aster's mind. Earlier this morning, he was already planning to sleep on the comfort of his bed, hugging the daylight out of his newly-bought fluffy, white pillows to sleep and wake up feeling decent at least. He thinks ahead like a boss. That girl was definitely not part of the plan. A big, fat N to the O. "You look hot, grim reaper." He remembered her remark. He grimaced at the thought. I'm a what? And what the heck is a grim reaper? And why am I even thinking of irrelevant things this late at night anyway? He shook his head and forced himself to sleep, tossing and turning to the small, white couch for the third time. His large blanket is now all

Chapter 4Megan: third person's point of view.—Let's look at the current ridiculous situation right now.Is she still drunk?Heck yeah.Can she even walk straight?Barely.Can she think straight, though?Abso-freaking-lutely not.So it's not really surprising if she would suddenly blurt out, "Sweet heavens, you seriously look hot in my eyes right now, wanna date?" at the guy she just unknowingly bothered for the whole night, 'cause that's what she just did.And the kind freaking grim reaper didn't like it one bit."Miss, just go to sleep.""Call me Megan...or babe, which do you prefer?" She smirked, leaning on the doorframe, one leg crossed while puckering her lips at the unmoving guy across her.

Chapter 5Megan: third person's point of view.-"Megan Spencer! You are so dead!"She was in the midst of reading the letter for the twenty-eighth time when she accidentally threw the food she was holding with her other hand. Megan was munching the very last bits of her beloved apple when she heard Andrea's voice booming outside of her unit and damn it, her poor apple went rolling on the tiled floor."What the heck, Drea?" She shouted back."Open the door.""Aw, come on, mom! I just dropped my breakfast on the floor-""For the love of... don't make me wait!"Pouting at the delicacy, she mindlessly threw it in the trash bin beside the sink and ran towards the mahogany door and unlocked it, revealing a red and fuming Andrea waiting impatiently on the other side.

Chapter 6Aster: third person's point of view.-He did not get a wink of sleep.Or even rest.At. All.Tossing and turning, sitting up, contemplating about his sudden life decisions and then start tossing and turning again isn't really resting, and now the sleepy Aster is definitely not in the mood to do anything heroic at the moment.Well, he barely does anything heroic anyway.For the nth time, he sat up and rubbed his face with his cold palms. Standing up groggily, he headed straight to the bathroom to wash off his morning breath and any stray saliva at the places other than his mouth. No one likes that.After the quick morning routine, he prepared his breakfast... If a granola bar is even considered as one. Moving on!He threw the plasti

Chapter 7Megan: third person's point of view.-It was around 2 o'clock in the afternoon when Megan woke up from her long nap and she hasn't eaten anything yet except for that humble granola bar since the day started, how nice.Holding her head, she stood up and went out of her room, occasionally swaying to the side and sighing. She eyed the Chinese takeout from the kitchen counter and took a bowl, a spoon, and a fork. She pouted and started eating the noodles and soup quietly, not minding the cold air of November seeping through her sweats.She probably would have gone for a short stroll at a bakery or at the small coffee shop somewhere in the vicinity if she wasn't feeling sullen. Heck, she would have watched the first snowfall outside with Damien if yesterday's events didn't happen.She dropped the noodles back into the c

Chapter 18Megan: third person's point of view.-"I'm really sorry, sis. I hope you understand."Megan bit her lip and massaged her temples, walking back and forth on her wide living area."I honestly don't. Did the two of you even talk?""Meg, listen. I need time, we both do. It didn't even last long before he shouted at me.""You guys were in a state of shock yesterday, so it's okay, but—""Please. I'm sorry, we just need to sort things out.""Leaving isn't going to sort things out, Bliss!" Megan groaned, her veins becoming more prominent on the side of her neck. For the first time, she found herself being angry at her best friend.She fixed the rim of her glasses and walked to the door, no

Chapter 17Aster: third person's point of view.—"Please. I beg you, Baby.""Don't," he yanked his wrist from her hold and walked farther away. "Just don't call me that.""A-Aster, don't make this harder for both of us.""Then leave, Xyrill," he stared at her with his glassy eyes, his hands shaking, his heart slowly breaking at the sight of the love of his life trying her best not to let her own tears fall."Leave me.""No! The mere thought of going back without you close to me is enough to break me apart. I can't, baby. I can't."See? I made you cry again, and here you are, still wanting me, Baby."No.""Baby–""Stop!" He yelled, making Bliss flinch in shock."

Chapter 16Megan: third person's point of view.—"Maru, open the door, please.""I'll get it, lie down and rest." Ethan pat her leg and stood up to open the door, revealing Bliss gasping for air. Her right foot took a step backward after seeing the person in front of her."Bliss...""Where is Megan?" She deadpanned, ignoring him and heading straight to the living area."Bliss, I'm so sorry for saying those things earlier, I really didn't–""I asked for your sister. Is she resting right now?"He nodded and sighed deeply, pointing at the sniffing girl that's now reaching for a new tissue roll on the table. Bliss approached the surprised Megan and flashed a small smile."How are you holding up, young lady?""I'm doi

Chapter 15Ethan: third person's point of view.—"So, Bliss, how was the food?"He glanced at the rearview mirror to see his best friend's reaction. He found her nodding while keeping her eyes glued to the window."It's great.""Ethan actually took me there on our first date." Andrea's voice chimed in. "I still remember his unruly hair at that time, he ended up looking pissed while eating. Good thing that wasn't the last time he went out with me.""So he still hasn't changed, huh?" The girls chuckled. Ethan just sighed and kept his eyes on the road."Bliss, did you know that both Ethan and Megan only fix their hair whenever they go out to work?"Her girlfriend laughed, hitting his right arm."Hey!"

Chapter 14Aster: third person's point of view.—Three weeks passed like a blur and not a day went by without him hanging out with the lady right across his apartment unit.That girl is too persistent for his liking, but at least he got to take his mind off of, well, certain things.Of course, he still can't be enjoying the outside world too much, as she may appear anytime, but so far, it's still safe.Every day, after the clock strikes one, he would hear a soft knock on the door, followed by the familiar endearment he had gotten used to after a while now.Where did she get Cheeto from, anyway?"It's my favorite snack." He remembered her answer to his question a few days ago.That woman is weird as heck, but it's

Did Lois tell her?Of course, there's no other possible way for her to know if my cousin didn't do it.Good grief.So now he's at his bedroom, staring blankly in the mirror, checking himself out. His whole body was covered with several layers of clothing, his countenance can barely be seen through his black mask and glasses.Sighing, he took off his scarf and put it back to the c

Chapter 12Megan: third person's point of view.-Megan squinted her eyes, removed her glasses and put it back on.Oh my gosh, It really is her.Without having any second thoughts, she embraced the woman tightly. Her breathing went ragged as she sighed deeply, burying her face into the woman's neck."No words can explain how much I'm shocked right now."She felt her gently pat her head, like what she would normally do back then. "Me too, I missed you guys so much."They stayed like that for a while, swaying left and right and letting the cold air brush pass by their shoulder."How's Ethan?""He's actually at my apartment right now," Megan answered, breaking away fr
