Apparently, after I went to bed last night, K got all mad and didn't play with Yao Tong. Eh. Not much I can do about that.

I went down stairs after getting ready to go for the day and grabbed some breakfast. I watched Ming train Yao Tong while I ate in the lounge, watching his training process and finding some things that I could implement into my own self training. I even saw Yao Tong sneak some Solitaire in while Ming wasn't looking, but she eventually got caught, making me laugh. Ming just looked at her as if saying 'really?' in the flattest expression he could muster. I laughed all the harder.

A couple more days pass, leaving me to my own devices which pretty much left me training, working out, going to the coffee shop, scrolling through social media, and other stuff like that. I also talked to Cheng quite a bit.

Tonight, K and Yao Tong are playing a game together, hopefully K doesn't freak out and just lets her be.

Soon, Fatty and I were watching over Yao Tong's shoulder. She exclaimed, suddenly, making us peer at what she was so surprised about. I immediately knew who this 'Sunflower' was, but Fatty had obviously not been paying attention during the Spring Championship. I shook my head. He finally got it after a few moments, thankfully.

Then Cheng appeared, making me bark a laugh. I wonder what his game will be? I grabbed my chair, the one that Rui had bought for me since I crash this place so often, and sat down to watch the comedy in the making. Fatty was comforting her, and K looked like he was completely done with life. He needs to cut her some slack, seriously. Fatty whispered something in Yao Tong's ear, making her look at him.

"I need to say it now?" She asked. He nodded.

"Follow my instructions." He said. This is going to end badly. I sighed, debating if I wanted to watch. As soon as she started typing, I got up and left. This is going to be a circus. I am going to get second hand embarrassment if I stay any longer. I went upstairs to Cheng's room where he was playing. I sat down on my mattress on the floor and took out my phone. Cheng would huff a laugh every now and then. Clearly, he was enjoying beating Yao Tong and God Yang up. I laugh quietly to myself, knowing that she wasn't lasting very well and is probably getting very frustrated.

I soon grew tired while I was surfing on my phone, and I apparently fell asleep at some point, although, I couldn't tell you when. 

The next morning I woke, got ready for the day, and went to the arcade. I was feeling a little down and was pretty bored. The boys were great and all, but they definitely had their own things that they had to do. I went to the claw machines at the back of the flashing room and started emptying the machine. I'm honestly pretty surprised that owners haven't kicked me out yet for emptying their machines. I guess they are getting money either way.

I had a pile next on the floor next to by the time I was done. I laughed quietly, realizing that I had zoned out. Man was I out of it. I left the pile, going to the front desk to ask for a bag to carry all the plushies in. The lady there fished around underneath the counter and handed me a trash bag. I took the bag and went back to the pile. After stuffing the plushies in the bag, I glanced at my phone to check the time. 12:24 pm. I should probably get some lunch.

I dragged my giant bag out to the Camry before stuffing it in the back seat. I shut the door and got into my seat, buckling myself in before driving off. I soon spotted a convenience store and thought 'why not?'. I pulled up, parked the car, locked my car, and went inside. I looked around for anything that sounded good and soon ended up with some (flavor of choice) noodles, (f/o/c milk or juice), and some sausages. I quickly made my noodles and found a window seat that overlooks the road.

I started eating and pulled out my phone and decided to call my bestie.

"Hey, girl, what's up?"

"Eh, just feeling bored so I decided to call you."

"Why aren't you with the others?"

"They are all training and stuff. I have a bunch of time to kill, so yeah! I am on my own for the moment. Do you mind if I give you a bunch of plushies?"

"Ok, and you raided another claw machine didn't you?"

"...yeah."

(Sigh) "Fine, but you have to promise me that we can hang out in the next week or so."

I could practically see her rolling her eyes. I laugh, "Yeah, yeah, I don't see why not. I'll let you know when I have a free few hours. Anyway, have you learned any interesting and absolutely random facts recently?"

"Uh... hold on gimme a sec. I found a really weird picture on Pinterest. I'll send it to you."

Angel 😇: 

"WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THAT?!" I said, both disgusted and highly amused

"WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THAT?!" I said, both disgusted and highly amused. I started laughing. "It looks like something you would find in a doctor's office!"

"Yeah, yeah it does." She started laughing, too. Soon, we were both out of breath. 

"Well, that is some of the most disturbing pieces of art I have ever seen. Your Home Feed is weird."

"Yeah, yeah it is. You wanna know the best thing about it though? You can buy prints of it on Etsy."

"No way. You're kidding right?"

"Nope!" She said, popping the 'p'. We both started laughing again.

We soon stopped laughing, thankfully. My stomach was starting to hurt. 

"Well then! That is probably the funniest thing I have seen all week," I said, chuckling. "Y'know, if somebody were to see our texts and hear our calls, they'd probably send us to an insane asylum."

"Yeah. Probably." (B/f/n) said in the flattest and most agreeing tone ever. I started laughing again. She soon joined me. Pretty sure the others in the store are giving me weird looks.

"Anyway, I gotta finish eating. Thanks for the short talk, it really cheered me up."

"You're welcome! Call me when ya want! Bye!"

"Bye!" 

I put my phone down and stared out the window at the busy street, not really seeing any of it as I slurped my noodles and milk. I had them both finished before I knew it and moved on to my sausages. I quickly had those gone, too. I sighed, picking up my trash and throwing them in the correct bins to either be recycled or just taken to the landfill. 

I walked out to my car and got in before driving back to the base.
