After checking the time, Noah realized it was only 2:30 PM. With plenty of time left before his dinner with Sarah, he decided to run some errands for his family. They hadn't bought meat in a very long time, and it would be easy to explain it away by saying he'd found a good deal or made a little extra cash. It felt like a good gesture to surprise them with something nice. He made his way to a well-known butcher shop nearby, the smell of fresh meat filling the air as soon as he walked in. The butcher,…

Arriving at the entrance of Digbeth Library, Noah spotted Lily standing gracefully by the entrance, her presence almost ethereal. She was wearing a simple yet elegant light blue dress that flowed just below her knees, perfectly complementing her icy beauty. It wasn't flashy, yet it had an air of quiet sophistication, much like Sarah—reserved, distant, and effortlessly graceful. The soft pastel colour added a touch of warmth to her otherwise cold demeanour, creating a stark contrast that only…

Fifteen minutes later, Noah arrived at Sarah's place, having deliberately slowed his pace to give her more time to prepare. He knew she would be more nervous if he showed up too early. Standing outside her door, he rang the bell. Inside, Sarah let out a relieved sigh as she placed the last dish on the dining table. "Phew, I barely made it," she whispered to herself, wiping her hands on her apron. She hurried to the door, peeked through the peephole, and saw it was Noah. After a moment to compose…

The next morning, Noah woke up early, around 8 AM. The sunlight was just starting to filter through his curtains, casting a warm glow across his room. As he rubbed the sleep from his eyes, he noticed his phone blinking with notifications. There were two new messages, but he decided to leave them for now. He got out of bed and stretched his arms. "aaahnn." Noah yawned as he headed to the bathroom. He had showered the night before, so there was no need to shower this morning too but he still…

After parting ways with Aiden, Noah made his way to the nearby elementary school where his little sister, Emily, was waiting for him. The walk was short, only about two minutes. As he approached the school, memories of always picking up Emily flooded back, though yesterday was different since his mom had covered for him while he "studied" with Aiden. Entering the elementary school, Noah navigated the familiar hallways to Emily's classroom. The school had a strict policy to keep the younger children…

After the basketball game, the students headed to the locker room to shower and change before their next class. The gym was still buzzing with chatter about Noah's incredible performance, but he kept a low profile, focusing on getting ready for the day ahead. After a quick shower, he dressed and joined Aiden, who was still catching his breath from the game, in heading to their next class. The transition from the energetic atmosphere of the gym to the focused environment of the science classroom…

A sudden surge of energy coursed through Noah's body. He felt a flood of knowledge and muscle memory embed itself into his mind and limbs—the perfect shooting form, precise dribbling techniques, strategic playmaking, and an acute awareness of the court's dynamics. It was as if years of intense basketball training had been compressed and injected into him in a single instant. He felt that he was at the same level as Lebron, Jordan and Akashi. Noah rolled his shoulders, feeling the newfound agility…

Noah arrived home around 9:20 PM, the darkened sky outside signalling the late hour. It was early January, and the sun had already set around 6 PM, leaving the streets bathed in the dim glow of streetlights. As he stepped out of the car and approached his house, he noticed that the windows were dark. It wasn't unusual—his parents often went to bed early. His dad had a demanding job, and coupled with his health issues, it meant that by 9 PM, both of his parents were typically already asleep. Noah…

As Noah and Sarah drove away from the race track, the atmosphere in the car was relaxed but tinged with a sense of excitement from the adrenaline-fueled evening. He really liked the woman and wanted her to be his wife. Not just because of the system choice. Sarah, still buzzing from the thrill of the race, glanced curiously at the white bag resting on Noah's lap. "What's in the bag?" she asked, her eyes narrowing in curiosity. "Open it and see." Noah said, with a slight smile on his…

With an hour to spare before the next race, Noah and Sarah decided to make the most of their time. They wandered around the racing track, taking in the sights and sounds of the bustling area. The atmosphere was electric, with fans discussing the previous race, drivers fine-tuning their cars, and vendors selling various racing memorabilia. Noah suggested they check out some of the high-end cars on display, which were drawing quite a crowd. They walked past a line of sleek vehicles, their polished…
