Chapter Text
Talin seemed like a loner at her preschool. Not talking to any of the other kids. Always sitting at the shade of a tree scribbling away in the little pink notepad her mother had given her. Very Artistic the teachers would say.
It's not that she doesn't have friends. It's just that they don't go to the same preschool as her.
Almost everyday after school when she got home she'd hurry back out to go to ANAKT.
ANAKT was a school system that taught orphans. They slept there, ate there. Did all. Simply a boarding school. Obviously aliens like the rulers of their government were the ones funding it.
So there Tilan was, rounded by orphans in a bright green-yellowish field. Nature lit around them with the sky and the grass. And those flower crowns that blue-tinted black haired made with the bright red flowers that bloomed.
Ivan
Talin didn't care much of him. Noticed just didn't care. To busy trying to get close to Mizi. The flashing pink haired and shimmering yellow eyes. So beautiful, so stunning when the beaming rays of the sun hit her skin just right, maybe it's her smile the one with her teeth.
But Ivan and Mizi weren't the only ones Talin knew or even played with at ANAKT. There was Sua who was quiet but she was there, as always by Mizi's side. Then there's the twins. Hyuna and Hyunwoo. The two that had spoken to Talin the first day she had past by with her mom. Then Hyuna had introduced Talin to Mizi days later. Ivan had made himself personally known to Talin after a few days of watching him from the sidelines. That's how Talin got swept into this big friend group.
When elementary was soon to start. Io, Talin's mother enrolled her into ANAKT elementary. To the fact seeing her having some friends there.
From year 1 all to 5. The group stayed together. Even else as a new member joins, Luka. In 3rd grade. As so Ivan starts his utterless pining for Talin. Again, noticed just didn't care. Though, maybe the reason Ivan kept on was because Talin never rejected. Really she hasn't denied the little joke of Talin possibly liking ivan that swam across the group. All she did was take the petty gifts and letters and stuff it into her locker. Maybe even sometimes take it home. Talin's eyes and love on the other hand were on Mizi. The popular one of their group. Not surprising.
And then during the summer break, Io earned a new position in a high tech music production company in America so they just had to leave. Leave all her friends. Leave all she knew. Talin truly did sob that night.
But as the time goes being around the land of(Maybe not freedom) and expressiveness. She started loving the music and even saved up for a guitar of her own. Talin has found herself. Himself.
Talin. Till.
And now, he's back in Korea. Back to ANAKT.
ANAKT HIGH.
