Vast island.

Vast island was a fake setup of an island and a sea which was built in a large piece of land. The island was covered with trees, shrubs and bushes giving it a complete island look. ​​

In addition to the perfect island look, Vast island had 10 small cottages with at least a thirty minutes walking distance between them which was designed to accommodate two people.

Vast Island exertion was a project started by an anonymous individual in which twenty emotionally disturbed and muddle headed people could stay in the peaceful environment for a span of six months to clear their minds.

The participants or ‘Vastians’ would have to deposit a certain amount of money 30% of which would be refunded back to them after six months when they would leave the Vast island.

Vastians would be given ingredients and groceries every week. They would have to cook their own meal. In addition to that, they would have to take care of the cottage and keep it clean.

The Vastians could do anything on the island but were restricted to peep or interfere in other people’s affairs except for his/her cottage mates.

They would have no connection with the outer world and would also be restricted to contact their family members at any cost.

They had to be with themselves and enjoy the calm, composed, refreshing atmosphere of the Vast Island.

After signing the contract with the authorities, Yichan went through a security check before going to the island.

” Your cottage number is 10. It’s on the western side.” A staff member said.

Yichan nodded his head and left.

…..

Cottage number 10.

Unlocking the door, Yichan entered the cottage only to find a pink suitcase in a corner.

Just then he heard humming sounds from the bedroom.

Walking towards the bedroom when Yichan entered, he saw a young woman drying her hair with only a towel wrapped around her body.

Leaning against the door, Yichan placed his hand on his chin and kept on staring at the woman who didn’t seem to realise his presence.

” Hey.” The woman smiled and said when she saw Yichan.

” Hello.” Yichan said with a very amused smile plastered on his face.

Just then the woman widened her eyes in shock and let out a shrill scream.

” What the hell? Who are you?” The woman shouted before throwing the dryer at him.

” Woahh.” Yichan said before dodging the dryer.

” What are you doing here?” The woman shouted.

Yichan frowned and said,” Are you nuts? What if that hit me really hard?”

” Serves you right for invading a girls cottage you perverted man.” The woman shouted.

” Invade? Hey I was assigned to this cottage okay?” Yichan said.

” But I had a female cottage mate. Her name was something Yichan.” The woman said.

Yichan’s expression darkened and said,” First, Yichan is a very manly name and not a girly name. Second, I am Yichan.”

” What? How can they give me a male roommate when it clearly says that we are going to stay with someone of the same gender.” The woman said.

” Well, maybe they thought you were a man.” Yichan said.

” Shut up.” The woman said.

Yichan smiled and said,” Well before shutting me up, why don’t you shut that towel of yours. I don’t want to but I can see everything beneath that towel.”

” Ahhhh, you- get out then.” The woman shouted.

Yichan helplessly shook his head and left.

….

Outside.

When the woman came out, Yichan had already spoken to the authorities.

” So they said that it was a mistake and default from their side and they are very sorry about it.” Yichan said.

” So when are you leaving?” The woman asked.

” Wait? Why would I leave? In fact, no one is leaving. They said that we have to stay together.” Yichan said.

The woman widened his eyes in shock and said,” What? Stay together? With you? How can they do that? I cannot stay with a man?”

Yichan raised his eyebrows and said,” Well, I don’t have any problem staying with a woman because I don’t harbour ill intentions for you. Unless you cannot control yourself after seeing a handsome man like me everytime.”

” Ha? Can not control? What is so good about you anyway? I have seen better.” The woman said.

Yichan smiled and said,” Uh Huh? We will see.”

Stretching his hands towards her, Yichan said,” My name is Mo Yichan.”

Slapping his hand away, the woman said,” Yang Ning.” Before walking towards the room.
