chapter°10

There is no one who would not miss the free spirited festivity of autumn in Rose's new found home town. Everyone she knew was either excited to enjoy this annual event or were stressfully preparing for it.

As for her being a first timer she was excited to be able to finally let herself loose after so long. Maria and her were on their way up to the location when they met up with some of the locals and decided to help out since they were pretty early.

Rose recalled how she would always go to their town's fair with her family, indeed those were good memories yet a big part of her always felt empty and a sense of not fitting in which made her guilty for even thinking about how she wasn't entirely happy with her past life but this escapee was now brimming with pleasure at the new found heaven, she couldn't tell what was so homely here that she settled down pleasantly. Perhaps it was the people or her quaint neighborhood with picturesque view which probably may be boring to most people however she loved this new feeling of being a new addition to the small town.

The Once simple town was vivid in colours with music softly playing in its background, people wore eccentric and quirky outfits busy with hogging the entire food stall and pop up stalls, a few would dance merrily while children were all moving from one game to another without any care of being lost or their tiny ears being pulled up by their frustrated parents.

As the only person who hardly paid any attention to whatever crazy ideas the town usually came up with Junhoe was deep in thought moving towards his mini bar to drown himself with alcohol again.He lazily pick up the bottles that would be the source of his death and laid down on his bed to drink his sorrows away maybe until his thoughts went to Rose this new girl he somehow always ended up meeting randomly and that was a wake up call for him as he stood up rushing to get dress.

Everyone was there to have fun so it was a given that Rose would too in addition to Maria being close with her, no one ever misses the festival excluding him.He was so sure that he would see her, he just felt like he needed to see her to get rid of his thoughts and secretly he found her beautiful but he pushed away those feelings it would do him no good anyway.

Junhoe mindlessly loitered about scanning for someone he was anxiously hoping to see, as his eyes finally landed on her he was confused for a second what he was trying to do.The said girl noticed his state of staring and waved her hands which surprised him so he walked towards her.

Both were quite not knowing how to start the conversation while the forgotten Maria watched them with curiosity, she eventually pulled Junhoe into a headlock and slapped his cheek lightly motioning Rose to follow them. Rose couldn't help but laugh loudly seeing Junhoe struggling to free himself following them to wherever her Boss was taking them.
