Chapter 56 - A Shortcut and a Dangerous Guard
As Jhin marveled at the wickedness of a mere child, Millie turned to Neon— no, Pete — and said,
«Stop grinning like that. You're making me feel stupid.»
«But I can't help it! I met Kyle and Clarke today!
This is the best Neon pot day of my life!»
«Haaah...»
«And besides, you said you'd forgive all my past mistakes!»
Pete added quickly,
«This is embarrassing to say, but... Clarke — no, Millie — actually, I've been a fan of yours for a long time. Hehe. I was part of the first wave of your fan club. I even have a signed CD at home!
I used to go to your fan meets all the time... do you remember me?»
Reluctantly, Millie nodded.
At first, she'd been too overwhelmed to recognize him, but after taking a closer look, memories started coming back.
«I remember... but who would have thought that innocent little kid would turn out to be Neon.»
«You're not one to talk, Millie.
I thought Clarke was some pot-bellied chain-smoker uncle!»
