    A morning at the train station, A man running, a woman calling someone on her phone, students jumping and running around and some birds chirping. I looked in the sky and took a deep breath.

"Sigh"

"What are you sighing for?" my friend stands beside me who is lined up for entering the train.

Her name is Watanabe Yui, she's my first friend I've made when I came to Japan. She is outgoing, smart, and beautiful. She has slender arms and legs, a fit body, eyes are not that big but it surely reflects the darkness of the night like her short hair and somehow, I'm taller than her.

"It's nothing" I replied.

I put my earphones on and followed her as she walks in, finding a place to sit for both of us.

"Here would be nice" as I pulled her shoulder from where I'm looking.

"Oh, thanks" she responded.

But we saw an elderly, small, and has a hunched back, curly hair, and carrying a small purse, who was just standing and looking for open space.

I know that my friend is too kind that she would give her seat to others even though our ride will be approximately five hours until we get to our destination with different transportation.

I smiled and tapped the elder's shoulder.

"You can sit here madam" while showing her the sit I'm referring to. She didn't refuse and sat to where the open space is at.

"Thank you, young lady," the elder said.

"Don't mention it" I replied.

Yui and I ended up standing near the doorway of the train.

"I didn't know that you can be kind sometimes" giggling and shoving her elbow into my stomach.

"What's up? you're not sick, are you?" she says enjoying teasing me.

"I'm totally fine, justーon a good mood, I guess," I said to her.

She stopped laughing and got serious for a second.

"Really? Tell me what happened" she looks so interested, waiting for my answer just like a child.

"Do me a favor and don't make me regret tagging along with you" I said squishing her cheeks.

"Fine" she replied as I let go of her.

"But please do tell me in detail as to why you're in a good mood today and by the way why did you agreed to come to this trip?" again, grinning and waiting for an answer.

I turned my head in her direction and frowned

"You can't keep quiet, can you? Besides, it's so bold of you to ask 'why I agreed to come'. It's not like a had choice" I said.

"Come on, we have five hours before we arrive. Besides, I'm bored" she answered.

"Well, my friend from the other country greeted me and asked how I was doing that's all," I told her.
