One day I will have a foggy memory and will not be able to recall the true meaning of these pics by the coast, so I will write with attention to detail what I still remember about them.
Somewhere in Taiwan, in a place whose name I would like to know how to hand-write in Chinese...
A small sun ray came inside the tent that we set next to the beach. It didn't try to bother you, It just wanted to wake me up so I could feed more lumber to the campfire and I could start boiling some instant noodles with dehydrated meat. It's not the breakfast of champions, but our pictures by the coast show that we didn't come here for a meal.
One day ago, you came to pick me up on your scooter, you came inside my house without knocking on the door, and you caught me wearing boxer briefs and drinking bubble tea ; since this season has humid mornings and cool evenings.
"Put your clothes on. We have to leave", You told me.
"Where?", I asked you.
"To somewhere we can escape to", you replied.
You threw my shorts towards my face, you put a sleeveless shirt on me, you grabbed my hand, and pulled me outside the apartment. You showed me a picture of your office. Your fashion design notebooks were piled up and they have started to become walls at the height of your shoulders.
At this rate, those notebook-walls will soon reach the ceiling, and finding the exit of your own office would become a game of, Pac-Man, where the ghosts chasing you would be: your incompetent supervisor who keeps bothering with minor details, and the crooked Guangzhou suppliers, who are capable of squeezing your entire imported fabrics' budget 'till the last penny if you don't pay attention to the words they use in their contracts.
Unfortunately, Pac-Man never found a way to escape from the labyrinth,
and the ghosts didn't stop chasing him either...

On that morning at the beach, a seagull landed and sat next to you while you were sleeping. It seems like it was starving. It started poking your green hair clip that you were wearing that day. It was finally able to snatch it away. I widen my eyes in shock as I saw how it took off with your hair clip along with... stripes of your hair!!
You began to wake up after the seagull took off. What a sneaky seagull!!! It left me alone to tell you by myself the most unbelievable story of how you woke up with a bald spot on your head.
"What happened 胖子 (chubby)? Do I look that bad when my makeup runs out?", you asked me as you saw my face becoming so pale while I held Eren's death-man expression on the first day he ever saw a Titan entering Shiganshina District.
What was I supposed to tell you? That a seagull swallowed your hair? And not only that, but also your green hair clip?!
"What a beautiful sunrise, 胖子." You told me with a serene smile.
I also smiled as I saw your whole hair reflect the sunrise.
You had forgotten to remove your hair extensions that night...
