~"I love you."~

A (h/c) haired woman stood at the edge of a subway platform. She could hear the passing trains zooming past her.

Vroom!

'Shit, I'm utterly exhausted.' She thought. There were large bags under her eyes. The twenty-five year old woman worked for an accounting company.

She worked for eighteen days straight without a break. 'Shitty management. I was supposed to have today off, but I put in a full day's work." Her mind spoke.

The young woman would most likely spend all of tomorrow sleeping. Then, return right back to work. 'That should be enough to keep me going.' Her mind wandered.

Vroom!

The woman was exhausted to the core of her being. "I wish I could just rid myself of this bone-deep fatigue." She breathed.

"The train is arriving soon. Please stand behind the yellow line."

The woman continued to stare at the tracks. She was in her own little world. 'If I fall onto the tracks...' her mind raced.

If she could just free herself from this exhaustion. 'All it'll take is one step...' The young woman determined.

"...I'd finally get to rest." She sighed.

HONK!!!!

The sound of the train broke her concentration. Her feet sent her flying back away from the tracks. "Holy shit!" She screamed.

Whoosh!

"Crap, what the hell was I thinking?" The woman shouted. Passing folks were giving her strange looks. Her anxiety was starting to affect her.

'Just breathe, (Y/N). You need to get a hold of yourself.' She raced. The woman began to make her way out of the subway.

"I'm so tired..." She panted. "...and I'm sure that won't change by tomorrow." She finished.

(Y/N) was walking through the local park to get to her apartment. It made her walk home more relaxing. After spending her entirety in the city.

The park was surrounded by sakura trees. The blossoms were in season this time of year. Nature always seemed to calm her nerves.

She grew up in a small prefecture. It was set in the countryside. (Y/N) moved here for college, and eventually, she found her current job.

When she was younger, the city anormored her. Slowly, the city became another reminder of her exhaustion. 'All I do is work.' (Y/N) thought.

Suddenly, she could hear the laughter of small children. The children were neatly seated around a small wooden booth.

She came across a sign beside the booth. It was made of old wood. The letters were scribbled with red ink.

'Sun Wukong v.s Macaque.'

"Hmm. A play." She breathed. (Y/N) joined the circle of children. She chose to sit on a park bench nearby. 'I wanted to sit down and rest anyway.' (Y/N) thought.

The sound of the children's laughter and the lanterns against the booth seemed to welcome her with warmth. She needed a change of pace.

Clack!

A man with light brown hair popped from behind the booth. "If it's a fight you're looking for let it begin." He roared. "Now, come on!"

"Heheh, you silly god. I'll tear you to shreds." Another voice said. A second man revealed himself from behind the booth.

The warriors matched each other blow for blow with a "Hah!" and a "Yah!". Macaque attacked relentlessly, driving his opponent back. But, Sun Wukong defended himself perfectly with his staff.

"I defeated you once again, Macaque! No one steals my peaches and gets away with it." The browned haired actor rejoiced. The second man disappeared behind the booth.

(Y/N) admired the man's narration of the story. 'He's a pretty good actor.' She thought. His jaunty voice and the light sounds ties the stories rhythm together.

For a second, it almost reminded her of her high-school days. She would write short stories. It was quite a passion of hers. Though, (Y/N) slowly lost her passion for writing.

She frowned, slightly. 'I could never right something as lively and dramatic like this...'

A slight breeze flew through her hair. "Hmm. I should probably get home." (Y/N) muttered.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

People were rejoicing the man for his narration skills. Suddenly, the sound of the clapping disappeared.

"A monkey..." (Y/N) breathed. In the place of the man, was a monkey with light brown fur and a goofy grin. "Ahh!" She screamed.

(Y/N) ran in the direction towards her apartment.

The man followed the woman with his golden eyes carefully. "Heh." He grinned.
