End Of Nightmares (Book 3)

Chapter 49: Perceiving Kindness of The Sun

Solar tossed in her bed left and right, adjusting her pillow non-stop to get into the right position to fall asleep. But no matter how many times she tried, still her feeling of drowsiness eluded her. In the end, she kicked away her blanket down to the floor. Her eyes wander aimlessly in the darkness of her room as her mind tries to make sense of everything that had happened in her life.

Sure she has been with Lancer for the past two years, but none of the days before were filled with so many events, so much that a lifetime worth of stories is packed within the span of several months. The arrival of the Wolfharts, the bonding with the Idle, not to mention all the crazy stories and incidents she encountered.

It all started with them; Dreamcatcher, or also known as the Wolfhart sisters.

"Right... All of them went to Alassolva to get Lily." Solar suddenly remembered.

The departure of course shocked Solbin, for they left her with only a letter. But she understood why it had to be done. If there is even a rumour about the whereabouts of the one she loves, she too would make the same decision. And she would do it without a second thought.

Solar got up from the bed, slipping out from her sleepwear into jeans and T-shirt. She put on the navy blue riding jacket; a matching pair with Moonbyul's back in those days. After stuffing her belongings in the back pockets, she darted off out of her unit, making her way into the basement. She walked briskly towards the covered vehicle, yanking the canvas out of her way.

"Been a while, buddy. You missed Mommy?" She cooed, her eyes sparkled as she stared at the superbike in front of her.

As much as Moonbyul and Solar always butting heads, they do have similarities, especially when it comes to vehicles. Both of them like speed, so the first paycheck they got they both bought the same model of superbike; CBX1000. While Moonbyul's is crimson red, Solar's is pearl white with crimson red strips on the tank.

A discontinued model, they searched high and low together for them. After months of endless calls and scouring the web, they finally got their hands on them, both in pristine and well maintained condition. The same can be said about their cars. Even when the made is different, they kept the colour of the vehicle the same; crimson red for Moonbyul and pearl white with crimson red stripes for Solar.

It was this that made all the people around them think they were dating. But the truth was way off from the speculation. While Moonbyul is happy with Rachel, Solar's love life is still in the unknown. Not per se, since at Jeju Island she confessed to Solbin, but still.

She pushed the ignition button on the handle, beginning the symphony of incline six-cylinders of high octane. The rumble of the mufflers echoed the basement, as she put on her full-face helmet and zipped up her jacket. She had only one destination in her mind. And she knows, her presence will be most welcomed, especially in time like this more than ever.

-

Knockings can be heard across the medium unit, waking the sole inhabitant from her slumber. Anticipation can be seen in her face as she quicken her pace to the door, hoping those who left are returning to her warm embrace.

"Lily! Oh... It's you..." Solbin's expression slowly turned dull as she learned the identity of the one who stood on the other side of her door.

"Unnie. Sorry for coming here at this time." Solar gave a sheepish smile. Solbin shook her head and invited her in.

"I'm the one who should be apologizing. It would be coming as rude the way I greeted you before."

"Nah. It's fine. I would react the same way too."
