~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

High in the sunset sky, A blackbird flew lost. She was the only one of her kind in the flock of various birds. This feathered friend did not travel alone though, She was accompanied by a few others...They abandoned her.

Tired, The blackbird descended onto a mossy rock. Beside her was a lake as graceful as the moon goddess. Gigantic Koi fish happily swam along the low currents in their groups.

Everyone knew where they were going...All but one white Koi...

The blackbird transformed into a powerful woman who had seen many flaws of this earth. She wore minimal clothes and was very confident. She was the lady from Daiyu's dream...

In the lake stood her reflection. A White Koi then transformed into a frail teen with a weak demeanor. She was Daiyu's reality...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the dead of night, While most were fast asleep.

Daiyu laid as still as a corpse...

This was her reality. Though she was bitter that her memories were but a fiction of her mind, She was also grateful that she got a chance to live again. This time around, no matter what the outcome of her family was...She would not turn to the adult industries.

It was too troublesome to rise to a higher position if your name were tainted...

This time around, She would stay by Grandfather longer.

CRACKKKKKK!!!!!!

A loud noise outside of her hospital Suite caught her attention.

Slowly, A skinny figure descended by a rope. As the person lowered, their eyes locked with Daiyu.

PANG!!!!

The slightly ajar windows were fully opened and the mysterious person jumped inside.

"W-who are you..."

"SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

The Boys face was covered by a white mask.

Quickly, he sped to her and covered her mouth.

"If you are loud they will hear!"

"Who will hear?"

"My parents."

"Really?"

"Yes..."

"So if I yell they might hear me?"

"Yes …?"

...

"HE IS HERE!!!!!!!!!"

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

"Why are you pulling me into your problems."

"You looked convincible...I must be mistaken."

"Why are you hiding from your parents?"

"If I tell you will you rat me out?"

"If it is not illegal ...no."

"Scoot over."

Without waiting for Daiyu to answer, The boy jumped into her bed and covered himself with her sheets.

"D-do you have to b-be in my bed?"

"W-why A-are Y-you S-s-stuttering? "

"Just say what you were going to before I change my mind"

"I will say...but what is your name? "

"And why do you want my name?"

"If I ever see news of me in the future I will know it is you."

"Zhao Daiyu."

"I LOVE THAT...Ask for mine, hurry"

"Jesus Christ - What is your name?"

"Mo Quang"

"Mo?..."

"Yup, do you know my family?"

"The Mo family...of course"

"Do you like them?"

"I don't know them personally to say."

"I hate them."

"W-why?"

"You might not understand. I am kept out of the spotlight. People don't even know that I exist. They know that there is a son under the Mo family. Just one son. I fought so hard to find my place there, Even my being in the hospital was to get their attention. Turns out, they just used my incident to gain an alibi for their crimes."

As Mo Quang vented, Daiyu felt his words hit home. The world knew that she was the young lady of a powerful family, but they did not know the crap that happens under the covers. No matter how you fight for your place, they only see your flaws.

"I understand what you are saying exactly."

"Really? So rich girl-"

"Rich girl? How did you know"

"I won't expect to find a poor girl in a suite like this..."

"Oh right.."

Both teens lay silent in the bed.

"So....how old are you?"

"I'm 18...You?."

"17."

"Neat. Do you want to do something fun?"

"Like what?"

"We can knock a vending machine down or something else...don't care."

"I was in a coma for...I never asked how long but if you can't tell...My legs are all bandaged up. I can't walk."

"There is a wheelchair over there."

"If I die!-"

"Then you will die. What else will happen?"

"I can tell that you are a trouble maker!"

"How did you figure out my other names?! Are you my stalker?"

"Haha Funny."

Daiyu's sarcastic tone made Mo Quang bust into a fit of laughs.

.

.

"Careful...There you go."

After many trials, Daiyu was safely in the wheelchair.

ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!!!

The Giggles of the teens that flew by so swiftly made the nurses scared...

"Did you hear that?"

"Yes.....Is the Hospital haunted?"

"I should have left a long time ago!!"

...

"Did anyone ever tell you that you have a scary giggle? I almost sh*t myself"

"Do you think that you are funny?"

"Oh shut your face... Shh, we are here."

A lonely vending machine stood in the corner of the quiet part of the hospital.

"How will you get the drinks out?"

"I made a hole in the side."

"What!"

"Shhhhhh"

"Sorry but-"

"I get it Miss Innocent girl. The hole is facing the wall so no one has found it. Do you want a coke?"

"Whatever"

Skillfully, Quang stuck his hand into the vending machine and pulled four cokes out.

"How did no one find such a big hole?"

"I only made it yesterday. When it needs refilling in a few weeks...They will find it. Luckily, I will be gone by then...Here, hold these."

Mo Quang Placed the drinks into her lap and quickly pushed her back to her room.

"Your welcome." He took three drinks from her lap.

"You are a character...."

"Thank you."

"You know girl."

"I have a name."

"OK, you know... girl with a name. You aren't as snobby as I thought you would be."

"You knew me?"

"Yes...Well no, I judged you based on your cousin."

"Oh her...."

"Do you two not get along?"

"No...She is the gem of the family I am excluded from everything. The only person that treats me like family is my grandfather."

" Must be nice to have at least in person."

"Does your brother not treat you like a person..."

"He is the head one that treats me like sh*t"

"REALLY! I thought that he was sweet"

"He is like a dictator! Everything that he says goes. Wait- Do you know him?"

"N-no I just judged based on my thoughts- But, Did you just say, Dictator?"

"Yes...Stupid right. Everyone in the family calls him that. A weird nickname."

Daiyu stared at Quang shocked.

No way-
