The Akara: Chaya (Chapter III, Part I)

As I said, I wasn't sending that series off but I will give you a slight warning as for this will have romance (of multiple kinds) and more curse words, I guess, and if you don't like that sort of stuff don't view it at all. Otherwise, enjoy it!

“I hate patrolling” Chaya said to her Vietnamese friend, Rim Eun-Kyung. Both of their hands are blowing from the slight, but also warm, breeze on the very dark night. She felt stickiness in her mouth, gum she had been chewing for hours had finally become boring, swallowing it. 

    “Well,” Eun-Kyung said with a sigh in her voice, “I hate patrolling too, but we must as it is our duty to.” she spat out her gum onto the sidewalk and then continued walking alongside Chaya again.

  They continued walking, turning a corner and the wind wasn’t really blowing in their faces anymore. Their eyes weren’t squinting from the wind as much. “Ugh,” Eun-Kyung groaned and sighed, “ Just be ready in case of an attack, Chaya.” They walked further and heard loud boots tapping against the sidewalk concrete loudly. Chaya, being slightly worried and startled, sightly turned her head to the right to get a decent view and had her hand close to her sidearm in case she had to quickly pull it out.

    “Chaya, quit being paranoid. They are just…” Eun-Kyung sighed, “Unfortunately, a normal person.” She smiled with reassurance for Chaya, who slowly moved her hand away from her gun and sighed, turning back to look forward.

    The girl passed by quickly, muttering under her breath just enough to be heard. “F**king weird girls.” Which, to Chaya, infuriated her, making her reach for her gun but got stopped by Eun-Kyung's hand who had grabbed her wrist. Her hand held and gripped Chaya’s hand tightly. “Stay calm,” Eun-Kyung reassured Chaya, “We are not odd at all, instead, she is the really weird one.” A smile grew upon Chaya’s face as she let out a little chuckle, her back getting patted by Eun-Kyung who had a large smile on her face.

    The two girls walked on and on until they had re-entered the outpost and regrouped with the others. “We have finished the patrol. There was no one suspicious, only one weird girl.” Eun-Kyung giggled slightly. “Good to know.” A boy's voice came from across the silent room, the boy’s name is Kam Eu. He sat on the ground, in front of a large fan, his medium-length dark brown hair blowing forwards from the pushing air from the fan. “You two should rest now.” Eu said aloud across the entire room, making sure he was heard by Chaya and Eun-Kyung.

    “No thanks” Sure” The two girls said at the same time. “Sorry,” Chaya said, “I didn’t mean to interrupt you!” She apologized. “It is all alright, you didn’t do anything wrong.” Chaya went off and sat by the window watching the bright lights pass by fast on the road. Eun-Kyung went into the hall and to her room to sleep. 

    Chaya sighed and yawned at the same time, making an odd sound. “What was that?” Eu sat next to Chaya and stared outside the window along with Chaya. “ Un Cho entered the room, shouting out, “What are you two doing? You two should be in a bed!” He smirked and walked away, loudly, making his boots hit the ground loud and heavily. “He can be very annoying, Chaya.” Eu stared out the window more, watching the droplets race along each other down the window.

    Chaya stayed silent, not wanting to talk or get into a conversation with anyone. Only wanting to stare at the beauty outside. “I don’t really wanna talk.” Chaya ended and looked at Eu who sat there quiet and stared out the window, slightly nodding making Chaya smile and look back outside, outside at the rain filling the street and flowing into the small drains.

Drop after drop, the ceiling dropped water into a hole in the ground, the drops hitting the small body of water in the hole making a satisfying sound bringing more relaxation to Chaya and Eu. “I’m gonna head to bed.” Eu said as he stood up and walked off as silently as he possibly could, light tapping of his boots slowly fading away, making the room grow silent once more. Chaya’s face drew back into a straight staring blankly outside.

    “I hate this, it is so lonely, so boring.” Chaya said to herself in the lonely room, the quiet of the room staying like that and echoing her words lightly. A loud crash came from outside, “It must have been a car crash.” Chaya said to herself, looking around through the window to see if the crash was visible or not. Though, nothing was visible. I must be hearing some things, she thought to herself. 

    Chaya got up and sighed, walking through the halls, walking past the boy’s sleeping quarters and into the girl’s sleeping quarters and just getting into bed, taking off nothing and not getting changed. “I can’t sleep,” A girl named Yon Song whispered. “I cannot either.” Chaya yawned, rolling over to look at Yon Song, looking drowsily and squinting her eyes she said “We must at least try and mustn’t wake up these others.” Chaya whispered tiredly.

    Chaya’s eyes slowly began to close, Yon Song’s whispering and talking getting drowned out from Chaya’s yawning as Chaya zoned out and fell asleep slowly, meanwhile Yon Song slowly fell asleep as well.

Upon the morning, when Chaya had awakened, the only girls in the quarters were Yon Song and Eun-Kyung, both of whom were talking. Chaya got up, stretching her arms and yawning, cracking and popping her arms, blinking a few times and then looked over at the two girls talking, watching them slowly lean their heads towards a stopping point where they then kissed. They kissed for a good few minutes as Chaya watched. She watched as her heart broke and sank, what the hell?! She thought in jealousy and anger.

    “What are you two doing?!” Chaya shouted out at the two, interrupting them and making them stop and look over at Chaya, embarrassed and then ran off. “What the fu-” Chaya said aloud to herself in the now quiet and empty room. 

    When she walked out, heading to the cafeteria, nobody was in the hills and only she roamed them at that time. The loud voices and talking echoed and went throughout the halls from the cafeteria where everyone was at, relaxing, eating, and talking. “Hello,” Chaya said when sitting down at a table with Eu, Eun-Kyung, and Yon Song, all of which were eating and already talking.”You are awake late,” Eu said while still looking at Eun-Kyung. “Yeah, I was just very very tired.” Chaya groaned from tiredness. 

    “I was, too, very tired.” Eun-Kyung looked at Chaya, “I instantly fell asleep when I got changed and in my bed.” She stared at Yon Song again, going back to talking with her as if I just quit existing or wasn’t even there. “There was a crash last night right on this street!” Chaya said in an attempt to have a conversation along with them. No one responded. Maybe they just didn’t hear me, Chaya thought in her not-so-clear mind. Everything around her went quiet as if she was deaf, only the sound of blowing wind and leaves brushing against each other. Everything was quiet, she couldn’t speak either. She looked around more and felt so alone, so very tired as well. Their mouths were moving but no words spoke. Maybe I have gone deaf, she thought more. 

    She began to hear again, noticing they were speaking to her, she attempted to talk but couldn’t. Shetried again and again, over and over, until, she finally was able to muster out “I’m listening.” and nothing more. “You all, I must go.” Chaya said and looked at them worryingly before getting up and walking off to the sleeping quarters.
