Sunny swerved his bike onto a scanty winding street and came to stop before a building deep in its bowels. Shabby, almost derelict, was the only word that could be used to describe what he was looking at. It was a two storey apartment with nonexistent windows covered by sheets, and a shattered sign. An abandoned hostess’ apartment. Really? Sunny sighed, placed his helmet on the steering of his bike, and went into the apartment. Dust filled the air, stale with the occasional dull scent of moss. The stairs creaked underneath his weight as he walked up them, and he had to duck under spider webs more frequently than he would have liked. His troubles came to an end soon enough when he found a door to the end of the hallway on the first floor. Unlike the rest, it wasn’t hanging for dear life to its hinges, and had a bit more cleanliness to it. Sunny knocked. No response. He knocked again. Still no response. He leaned closer to the door, placing his ear on it. He heard a crash, the kind that was heard when a person went bumbling to the floor. He pulled back and banged on the door this time. Surely that would make certain he was no longer ignored. “Give it a rest, will ya?!” said a voice on the other side—a familiar one, and still quite spiteful for no reason—confirming his thoughts. “I will if you open this door,” Sunny replied, trying his best to hold himself back from laughing. Shortly after, the door flung open and a lady in her late twenties with frizzly hair like she had just been electrocuted, and brown eyes made pronounced by her round glasses, appeared. “Hello, K,” said Sunny with a curt smile. “Been a while.” K eyed him from head to toe, then scoffed. “Fuck you, Sunny,” she spat. “It’s been a whole year.” “Hence the ‘been a while’,” Sunny replied, taking a step back as he was reminded of K’s old habits. She was fond of throwing a nasty hook whenever she was even slightly annoyed at someone. And the wrinkles on her forehead at Sunny’s words told him all he needed to know. “What’d you want?” K asked with a snort. “Think you can just waltz back into me life whenever ya fancy it, eh? I’ll have none of it, I’m telling ya. Leave.” Sunny nudged his head in the direction of her room. “Can’t you let an old friend in? Then we can talk.” K raised a bushy brow. “How’d you find me?” she asked. Sunny shrugged. “You’re not that hard to find, you know? Not many girls speak crudely and walk around with spikes for hair. All I had to do was ask around in your usual shopping spots.” K clicked her tongue in disappointment at herself. “Well? Can I come in?” Sunny added. K took a moment to consider it. She had always been weak to Sunny’s requests—always. They’d known each other for far longer than he had known Janeth, and he’d known Janeth ever since they were little kids. K, however, wasn’t just a friend. She was practically his family, albeit quite the rebellious one. They had, apparently, been placed side by side in the hospital when they had been born, and had grown up holding hands. Sunny didn’t believe that; but what could he say when her parents and his parents had claimed it was so? K clicked her tongue as she scratched her exposed belly under the loose singlet she wore. “Fine,” she turned around. “Don’t you dare touch anything, though. I won’t hesitate to have ya out of here in a heartbeat.” “Yeah, sure,” Sunny rolled his eyes. He had never liked touching anything of hers in the first place. The few times he had made that mistake, chewed gum found its way onto his palms. The thought stuck with him so badly that he used his feet to shut the door behind him instead of grabbing hold of the handle. There was no saying where K could have placed her gum. “So? What’d you want?” she asked as she found her way to her computer desk near one of the two windows in the room. Sunny took his time replying. He glanced around the room first, and, just like her, it was unkempt. Takeaways were littered everywhere, ramen packs, chinese food, name it. She had
