"You know what, one day when Frost left me in his home alone I ate some fries and drank some hot cocoa and guess what?!"

Mhyco said as he shake my shoulders with excitement. We're currently riding in his car and travelling back to the class A society. Frost is the one driving with Cloud sitting beside him and I'm sitting beside Mhyco at the back seat.

"What?"

I said with a smile painted on my face.

"It tasted like choco waffles!"

Mhyco said with delight as he looked up probably trying to recall the taste of fries and hot cocoa.

"And I was still so bored after that, thanks to Frost who ditched me that day! Can you imagine? I cancelled my concert in Europe because of him and he left me hangin'! So since I was so bored I started watching the films of Riyuki Michi and guess what---"

"Mhyco!"

I was startled when Frost and Cloud screamed Mhyco's name interrupting whatever he was trying to say.

"What?"

Mhyco said as he shrug his shoulder asking what's wrong.

"You can't talk to her about those stuff ok? She was born in year 1983 remember? "

Frost said as he stop for a moment because of the traffic light. Mhyco's lips formed an "O" as he nod his head while staring at me. Why what's wrong?

"Ok I get it. My bad, I guess I can't share to you the story of Riyuki Michi and her new porn film--"

"Mhyco!"
"This little shit."

Frost and Cloud said in unison interrupting Mhyco again. I think I'm getting a hint of what Mhyco is trying to say right now. I let out an awkward laugh as I tried to divert the topic.

"So uuh--tell me Mhyco, how did you end up in the showbiz world?"

A frown formed at Mhyco's face, ok so I guess showbiz is not the right term.

"I mean, how did you end up being a famous personality?"

Mhyco scratch his right ear as he tried to recall his past. That's cute, I've seen boys scratching their chin, or the nape of their neck as they try to remember things and this one is new to me, scratching your right ear to remember.

"I was just 13 during that time when my mother left me in the streets of the class A society. I was an outcast before, a citizen of Isola."

There was an awkward silence after that, I never knew Mhyco had a sad memory of his past. I don't even know if it's right to ask him about it.

"Then luckily someone adopted me. Then I was discovered by a talent agency when I was 15, since then I started writing songs and performing and practicing every day. That's how my career started, they gave me the title of being the phenomenal singer of the year and here I am now. How about you how did you end up in this year?"

I felt a lump in my throat as a thought of Casper flashed in my mind. I started playing with my fingers trying to piece some fragmented memory.

"I ahh-- I went through cryonics procedure without my consent. I was diagnosed with a rare disease and died in the year 2002 then I was revived in this year."

Mhyco responded with a nod as he rub my head like a puppy with an apologetic smile on his face.  We finally had a stop at the city plaza. Frost and Mhyco will be going home together and here I am again stuck with Cloud. He was walking ahead of me and he's been quiet since last night. He was not bothering me at all!
