Out

It was evening when Ken goes to see Sherry in her room. He knocks twice and when he could feel the doorknob is unlocked, he steps in. He could see Sherry’s eyes is about to fall.

“Am I in bad timing? Sorry.” Ken apologizes.

Sherry weakly smiles “Not really…” Sherry gave way to Ken inside her room “How can I help you?”

Ken hesitantly said, “Uh, do you wanna?”

“Do what?” Her soft voice even rattles the young man, blushing.

“Uhm. Do you wanna go out?”

“Where?”

“Outside, today is the lantern festival.”

“Oh. About that…”

Ken said, “Don’t worry about it,” He reassures her “…It wouldn’t take long and add to it that we won’t have to do anything missions until further instructions from our supervisor.”

“What about Al?”

“Al-Al-Al, you scared of him, do ya?

She didn’t respond, but her face tells so.

“Come on, it’s going to be fun. You just have to dress covering your machine parts.”

“Don’t lie to me that you don’t miss hanging out?”
