"Don't scare her, Ben!" A voice came from above.I saw a guy standing on the enormous pile of trash here. He looked at me, giving me a smile that was supposed to be sunny, but I couldn't see his face because the sun was so bright. At his feet was a thin board; he stepped on it and slid down from the mountain of garbage as if he were skiing. Maybe he does that so often; he looks very professional. When he almost touched the ground, he threw himself into the air, flipped, and landed skillfully.This show would be fine if he didn't show it off in the dump. But he didn't care about the scene; his face was confident; he smiled and said, "Hello, beautiful lady! Nice to meet you."Maybe he thinks his expression right now is that of a gentleman and charming, but in my eyes, he's funny. His face was ridiculous and clumsy.The corners of my mouth twitched a few times before a forced smile appeared. I said, “hello!”“Stop behaving ridiculously, Cody! You're the one who scared her." The man named

I was fixing the mop while chatting with Serena. I told her about the funny guy, Cody. As it turned out, Serena also knew Cody.Serena says that Cody in the base is pretty popular but famous in a weird way. Previously, he also lived in building B. He is funny and friendly to everyone. It's just that every time he meets a woman around his age, he'll start flirting right away. During the riot, he was almost killed. Ben was the one who saved his life. So when Ben was pushed to the landfill for work, he volunteered to follow Ben.Serena also said that Cody used to flirt with Serena, but she slapped him. I was pretty surprised by that and laughed out loud. I couldn't imagine someone as shy as Serena would ever hit people. It must have been a fascinating sight.We were chatting happily when the door to the room opened. The one who entered was Kaylin. She smiled and said, “What are you guys talking about so funny? May I join you?”Serena excitedly said, “Kaylin! All right, sit down here." Sh

The first count sounded, and everyone looked at each other in confusion and whispered; they did not dare to talk loudly. Cody was standing next to me all this while. He tilted his head to chat with me, “I wonder what idiot this funny thing did? He's dead for sure!" Cody said while laughing when he saw the other in trouble.My mouth twitched, unable to smile. I pointed at myself and said to Cody, “that idiot is me!”At this point, the leader also counted to two. I immediately raised my hand and said, “It was me!”Everyone turned their eyes on me. Cody gasped in disbelief. I can only smile wryly in this situation.“What silly thing are you drawing? Are you kidding me?" The leader said in a low voice.I straightened my back, looked him straight in the eye, and replied bluntly, “I'm not joking! The regulations say that no leave the paper white, but you do not say that drawing pictures is prohibited. I don't want to vote for anyone, so I must do that! I don't think I broke the law."The le

“STOP!” A sudden roar cut through my fight with Cody.We were all startled and, at the same time, looked in the direction the sound was coming from. At the door, Charles looked extremely at us with dangerous eyes.The smiles on our faces suddenly disappeared. We were so shocked that we were dumbfounded and just stood there watching. It wasn't until Charles yelled again that we recovered.“What the hell are you guys doing here?”Cody immediately softened his legs and knelt to apologize to Charles, “I'm sorry, sorry, Sir! I… I'll clean it up right away….”I looked straight at Charles, feeling his eyes on me mixed with emotion."We will clean up immediately," I said, pretending to be calm.The air suddenly became a little colder, even making me shiver involuntarily. Cody also felt it; he kept saying sorry and begging for forgiveness."Fuck off!" Charles shouted. His voice is full of anger.I knew that even if I stayed to apologize now, Charles would be even more angry, so I pulled Cody t

*POV AliyahEarly in the morning, I was awakened by someone's urgent knock on the door. I lifted the curtain from the window and looked outside. It was still dark, and dew was on the windows. It's not time to go to work yet; who is looking for me at this hour? It's frustrating!I covered my head with a blanket, trying to ignore the sound of the door opening. It seemed that the people outside the room were getting increasingly urgent, so they banged on the door with a loud shout, “Open the door! Open the door, Rose! Hurry up!"I realized it was Ben's voice; Although I don't talk to him often, his voice is distinctive. What is he looking for me at this hour? Why does he look so alarmed? Something must have happened to make him like this.I immediately sat up, combed my hair, and went to open the door.Ben didn't have time to stop, so he almost hit me. Fortunately, I dodged. Ben said eagerly, “Rose, Cody is taken! Do you know what happened to him?"“Huh? Why was Cody taken away? When was
