"did you walk all the way here, or...?" she suddenly asked.
"oh, y-yeah. i did."
"oh, i see. so the music store, right?" she asked. i nodded my head, "yeah. i thought i could take you there to see what you're missing." she gave a small grin.
"will we be taking the bus?"
"yeah... if that's fine with you," i softly said. "mm, i've never rode the buses here. i get nervous and wonder what if i miss my destination or something, and they take me far far away?" she cutely said. i gave a roll of my eyes, "dramatic queen, are we?"
she playfully punched my arm as she looked at me in a glaring way, "am not!" i couldn't help but laugh at her reaction.
"don't worry. i'll make sure you won't get lost," i said to her. and with that, she smiled. the both of us waited at the public stop when the next bus came. i got on first, paying for the two of us and then led her to back.
"here. you sit first," i said. "oh.. t-thanks," she scooted her way to a chair and sat down as i sat down right next to her. i noticed as the bus left its post she nervously looked out the window as we passed by other streets. slowly, i pulled out my phone and earphones. plugging it into my phone, i placed one earbud in my ear and tapped her shoulder.
i motioned her to take the earbud, and while she did, i went ahead and played "hold me" by janine. i didn't look at her, but instead looked straight ahead as the music played. she managed to calm down herself as her leg stopped jumping up and down. and we sat like that all the way until we arrived at the right stop.

we both got off and walked a few more blocks when we came upon the music store that had the sign "music center" plastered at the front. she gasped, "wah, look at the keyboards they have!"
she ran up ahead me as she first entered the store. "yah, soojin!"
i jogged to the door and opened it up, entering inside. i found soojin wondering around the drum section. in my eyes, i feel like i was watching a happy child playing around in park.
"yoongi-ah! look, look! i found the keyboards!" she cheered happily as she ran cutely over to them. "y-yah, be quiet. you're so loud," i said in the loudest whisper i could manage as i went after her. in the room full of keyboards and pianos, i found her in the corner playing on one.
"yah, stop wondering everywhere," i told her. suddenly, she grabbed my wrist and pulled me down to sit on the piano bench taking her place. "play something," she commanded. i scrunched up my face cutely as i stared at her, but didn't refuse. i turn to the piano slowly and sat there for a good few seconds before placing my fingers onto the keys and began playing what came to mind.
the only thing we could hear was the way the piano sounded as it echoed throughout the whole room. i finished the piece in a graceful manner and then smiled slightly. behind me, soojin clapped repeatedly and smiled as well. "yokshi! you really are the best at piano," she commented.
"i wish i could say the same for you," i smirked slightly as i turned to look at her. the smile on her face went away and instantly, she glared at me. "tskkk!"

the rest of the hour, we spent our time looking throughout the store. i found some nice recording equipment but they were all too expensive. soojin, on the other hand, had the time of her life as she played around with the bongos. i thought she was being a complete idiot... but a cute idiot.
"i'm going to save up some money to buy a keyboard, so that soon you'll be able to teach me more on the piano," she said. i scoffed, "well if you want to become just as good as me, you better practice a lot."
glaring cutely, she crossed her arms across her chest, "i will! just you watch." we exited out the music store and by that time, it was already 2pm, so we decided to catch a bus to the arts museum in the tourist area. once we got there, we went ahead and purchased tickets to allow passage inside.
the building was pretty huge, so huge it had soojin in awe.
"wah, look how huge these pillars look," soojin gasped. "yah, this isn't the time to wonder around like how you did earlier," i told her. she pouted cutely, puffing out her bottom slightly, "but where's the fun in staying in one place?"
"i mean, just be careful. if you haven't noticed, this place is huge enough for both of us to get lost in. and thanks to you, my phone is low on battery because we used it to listen to music on the bus," i told her.
"yah, it's not my fault we used your phone to listen to music. i didn't ask you to."
"yeah, well, i did that so you'd calm down on the bus. you looked nervous, so i was simply trying to calm your nerves," i argued with her.
"okay, okay, so if we do get lost, how are we suppose to stick together if your phone is almost out of battery and we can't call each other?" she asked.
i thought for a good second until i coughed awkwardly. "i have an idea, but it'll be weird," i told her. she raised an eyebrow at me and then spoke up, "what's the idea?"
instead of telling her, i slowly took action as i took her hand into mine, not intertwining our fingers. just a simple hand-lock.
"there. doing this will guarantee that we won't be able to get separated easily," i quickly said.
soojin didn't say anymore words except a simple 'okay,' her head slightly lowered as her eyes stared at the floor. her hand was soft and delicate. just thinking about it, i felt my face warm up. so i tried loosening up the tension.
"come on, we might miss out if we don't start walking now."
and with that, we went ahead further into the museum hand-in-hand.

8 121The Eternal Vigil
The year is 2220, a time when governments and nation-states are slowly becoming a thing of the past. Instead, all prominent parts of human society are now organizing around the commands of three great Artificial Intelligences, owned and operated by the world's largest corporation. World peace has been achieved, and the very word 'politics' has disappeared from people's lips. Religion has largely disappeared, replaced in some parts by worshipping of the great AIs, but mostly substituted by a devotion to material goods and faith in the market. There is now a general consensus that the best form of government has been found. No, it is not democracy, nor is it autocracy or oligarchy. Instead, it is technocracy - rule by the learned, the intelligent, and the skilled. And who are more learned, intelligent, and skilled than the great AIs? Exactly, no one. The AIs will correct some market failures once in a while, but shall otherwise let the market be free. After all, the freer the market, the freer the people. Some may question how society advanced to this stage, but that is all they will do - question. Because they will not find answers, for history is no longer taught anywhere. After all, it is not a practical subject. One cannot get a decently paying job with a history degree. Society doesn't have any time for people to idly ponder about the past. No, this is a practical society of practical people: engineers, doctors, lawyers, developers, managers, bankers, soldiers, and the such. My name is Aiden Scivit and I used to be one such practical man: minding my own business, doing my job, with the faith that hard work will always be rewarded by the market...and that politics and philosophy were things thought of by idly people who leech off society. But this all changed, and here is my story, my history. Just because the stories of ages long past have been erased, does not mean that a brand new beginning cannot be created. The story is already finished but I still need to do some editing so a chapter should be released each day for a month. It is a bit political, as you can probably tell by the introduction, so there is that (it will low-key read like a philosophy dump 10% of the time, so really it's like Atlas Shrugged but liberal and worse lol). Also, I actually wrote this in grade 10 as part of my MYP Personal Project, and recently touched up on it for online publication. Finally, if you find the writing style passable and are interested in my other works, check out the one in the link below. It is a fantasy set in the Ancient Greek world, and is completed and uploaded in full: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/35099/the-oresteia-modernized

I stand transfixed as the rest bow, some of the students even kneel, in my defence, I was still running my mind through everything that had happened. “Bow you, idiot,” comes from Nyx. I go to answer when the stupid voice from earlier, Garian I think comes from behind the guy once everyone is upright. “See your majesty, I told you she was insolent, a few days in purgatory and she’ll fall in line.” Purgatory? What the fuck! Suddenly Garian crumples to the ground clutching his neck veins bulging. “Now Garian, that is no way to speak to your future queen is it, apologize,” the immense man drawls studying me with a strange look in his eyes. A rush of joy fills me to see Chad like that, which is why I take an embarrassingly long minute to gather what he had said. “Queen? Who me?” I ask, turning around, everyone is watching me with a mixture of reverence and jealousy and a few pitiful looks here and there. “And you will be the king I suppose?” He nods his head slowly. “Fuck no, mister, no way, are you freaking serious?” I turn to look at my escorts who all avoid my eyes. Were they for real? Was this some prank? like, scare the newbie or some shit. That’s what I get for not trying to escape, let’s learn a little more about these guys she said, well see what you did now stupid inner voice.
8 178Dragons of Dark Rebellion in A World of Essence
In a world where cultivation is the highest form of virtue, the purity of one’s blood is of absolute value. Saul is neither Arloni, nor Delcairan. He’s both. But when a strange ring suddenly falls into his hands, nineteen year old Saul is more than willing to push the boundary between fantasy and reality. However, things are not as they once were in Falden. At a time where Saul finally confronts lord Albryte’s sons after years of torment and abuse, his father’s health is fading fast. Suddenly faced with the consequences of his actions, Saul is forced to make a difficult decision. And as he fights his own battle, dark forces descend upon Lucidia. Followed by a pair of glowing red eyes, a stranger appears in the night, visiting Falden with unfavorable intentions.

Or will they struggle against fate and seize the future with their own hands? Tomorrow remains uncertain. But the Sun will show them the way.
