A/N: For those who, like me, are furious about the missing PMs, I was forced to make a discord, same username (RahCol) and picture as Wattpad, so if someone wants to talk privately, you're welcome there (you can also pester me about chapters). Sorry, his first flashback is a little (a lot) behind because I'd passed over my notes on what to do with Frank's character and I almost lost the timeframe to do it (the limit is the 20th, so... cutting in close). I have never experienced it in person, just watched some news about it on the TV, so forgive me for any incongruities because I only have internet research to go about it.

Frank's Flashback

FRIDAY, 17th February

Frank kept rereading the texts in the group he was added to, still unsure about the purpose.

Do you think that can be considered flirting?

Not really sure. I mean, it's Sierra; she flirts as she breathes. But I don't think she's serious about it.

I don't think she is serious about it; I just wonder if I should answer somehow?

You mean flirt back?

Of course not! I just want to nip it in the bud.

Because of Hazel?

Also because of her, but Sierra makes me a little uncomfortable.

I can understand your side, but if not even Reyna and Regina together can control her, do you think you could get results?

That's a good point.

I think there's a chance that trying to make her stop would be like dousing fire with gasoline.

Or cutting off the Hydra's heads without knowing how to burn it to stop growth.

Did you ever fight the Hydra?

No, and I'm quite happy about it. So, should I just leave Sierra be?

Well, so many texts arrived since her flirting, I would say just ignore it.

He regretted not checking the time before calling his grandmother and interrupting her nap, which put her in a sourer mood than her average setting.

"What do you want?"

"Hey, lǎo lao. I'm sorry to wake you up."

"If you're sorry, then why did you?"

"Because I didn't check the time."

"Fan, for how long will you keep making excuses for your behaviors?"

Ouch, that one hurt.

"Lǎo lao, I just wanted to talk to you since today in the Lunar New Year, that's all."

"Talk to me about what? Are you coming to clean my house?"

"We're not even in the same country."

"Then what, do you need me to teach you how to clean your house? Haven't you learned anything so far?"

"Lǎo lao, I don't need you to teach me that."

"What do you mean? You barely know how to take care of yourself, how would you know how to take care of a house?"

We should've let her sleep.

"Lǎo lao, I apologize for interrupting your nap and accept the blame, but could you please not attack me at every sentence? I don't have ANYONE else to call for the New Year, so can you please just... not? I'm just asking you play nice for five minutes."
