She picked up on the second ring. “Hey Soph.” I greeted. “May? Are you okay? You sound like someone just stole your lunch.” I let out a humorless laugh. “Try my future. I just got rejected.

We all sit down and dig into our lunch packages. “Uhm... Guys, I also packed little fruit salads for all of us.” Ditte says shyly as she unpacks the small boxes stuffed with various fruits. “Thank you Ditte, that’s really kind of you.” Antoinette says as she takes the first box from Ditte. Everybody thanks her for her kind gesture and she beams at the kind words she receives. The salads she packed are really nice, they are stuffed with watermelon, apple, strawberry, mint and a bit of lemon juice. It’s really nice and refreshing. We chat a bit about pack-life back home and the conversation naturally flows to the games.

She pointed to a wooden box on her right as she peeled a mango. "That box arrived recently; everything should be good." “Recently?” I asked without understanding, "Do you order through A****n or eBay?" “Are those also rude words?” She looked at me without understanding. “What? Not! Those are... Forget it,” I said, exasperated. “Where do the boxes come from?” “I don’t know.” She took out a plastic bowl and began to put in some fruit. Everything, before my hungry and frustrated being. “You said that box arrived recently...”

Anjali got shocked, she stared at Alex with a confused look while trying to figure out what was going on. " Alex !! you should have to give me flowers instead of apples ", Anjali finally broke the silence. Alex chuckled and pinched the cheeks of Anjali, " How could you call yourself a K-drama lover when you don't know that apple is the symbol of apology ". Anjali rolled her eyes and said, " I knew it but who gives the bouquet of apples ? Idiot ! What will I do ? ".

Drool dripped from my chin to the floor as I stare hopelessly at the magnificent reddish seductive skin of the apple “Welcome sir. Would you like to buy some apple?” I heard the man ask “Do you know where I can find a tavern?” “Leave my shop if you didn’t come for my apples” he frowned and stared at me “Very well then” I sigh “I would like an apple” I take one from the stand “That's ten cents sir” he smiled mischievously and i raised an eyebrow at him “You will never find apples as fresh as mine” “I will buy one if you will tell me where to find The False flower”

Daniel said looking at the doctor who nodded. “Well, we checked your blood samples. There was no technical disease to have cost it, did you eat anything abnormal that could’ve caused food poisoning? Or had exams? Something stressing you out?” The doctor asked as he filled the sheets and I looked at Thomas who kissed my temple, nodding at me. “I’ve been having exams for almost a month now, I’m guessing it’s the lack of sleep that comes with them” Daniel lied and I looked down at my feet. The kid had gotten ill because he saw what his brother went through.

Minimalist yet sophisticated. Anyways. A shiny red apple caught my eyes as my stomach grumbled again. It was a matter of a second as I quickly grabbed the apple. Atleast this wasn't drugged. Biting the fruit, the sweet flavored nectar cascaded down my throat and I closed my eyes in bliss. God! I was so hungry. In less than a minute, I had finished the apple. My hunger was now on hold. Throwing the remains away, I was about to grab a banana when I heard his voice.

For people who didn’t have a voice. I was so proud of him. Of us. My phone buzzed in my hand with another notification. I looked down at my phone, my eyes widening with pleasant joy as my lips slowly began to spread in a pleasant smile. "Restock, please!" "Can’t believe it sold out in 24 hours."
