Drake overtime all night for making a follow-up script. He scratched the tip of the pen on the last piece of paper. Yesterday, Thomas sent him a message and asked him to complete the final episode of his novel.

"Fuaahh!!! Finally finished too!" he said while wriggling.

TRACKS

Placed a pen that had been in his grasp for a very long time. He yawned widely because both of his eyes felt heavy and watery.

"Hooahahemm.. There's still an hour left before I hand over the manuscript to Thomas. I'd better take a little nap to charge my body," Drake walked lethargic to his bed.

BLUKES

Once his head was attached to the mattress and pillow, he immediately fell asleep soundly. Tired of working all night, Drake slept with his mouth open and snored a little.

While feeling good sleep and lulled in a beautiful dream in a cool garden in Hawaii, suddenly a loud noise from his phone made him wake up and shocked half to death.

TING RABBIT TUNGTING

"Eh bushel!! What'sthat??" Drake. He was really shocked to the heart gymnastics.

"Hoshis... Ohhhh..."

He found the left right looking for the origin of the sound. As soon as he got his phone, he immediately received a call.

"Where's the script!!"

"Fuck you, Thom! There's still an hour left before I hand it over to you! Why so noisy!"

"Xixaixi!!" a giggling voice sounded from across.

"What are you laughing at, huh?!! I'm so sleepy, let me sleep for an hour" Drake said in a typical sleepy voice.

"There's good news for you."

"What's that?"

"You'd be running here if you knew what the news was, '" Thomas made Drake not sleepy anymore.

"False, dammit! Say it! You're not making me sleepy anymore."

"Look..."

"Yes. The chunky!"

"Prophe dong.."

"Yes, say it quickly."

"There was an offer from producer Will. He read some of your manuscripts, and he seems interested!"

"Producer Will?"

"Yes. You know The Bloom?"

"The Blooms? You mean that romance movie that boomed last year?"

"Perfect! He's the one who launched the film, "Thomas was very enthusiastic.

"Are you serious? What did he say to you?" Drake immediately got up and stood staring out the window.

"Seriously. He said he'll see the script you're continuing. If it's interesting, he'll give your novel a chance to get into the world of cinema."

WIRRR

WILLIIRRRR

The breeze of freshness seemed to suddenly greet the happy Drake. He did not believe that the film producer came to Thomas' office and offered something that was not easy to get.

"wait. Is that what he just said? I think, something interesting like that should have conditions, right?" Drake felt that it shouldn't be free.

"Just right!"

"Haisss... Why don't you just mention it in person?"

"That's why it's against your character."

"What is he asking for?"

"Hmm, he wants to do a live interview with you at the launch of the movie."

"I guessed it."

"Then, how? Are you gonna take it?"

"Eitherway. I'm not sure. You know my own characteristics. Huuff. You're just interfering with my sleep. Never mind. Don't bother me, I'm going to sleep!" Drake hung up and threw his phone on the bed.

Then, he himself dropped on the side of his phone and closed his eyes again.

••••••••

At Luna's house, there's Tera. The college girl visited her sister on the weekend.

"Hihihi, she hasn't changed either, huh. I thought, after a few years had passed he would become an adult..." Tera giggled as she heard the story about Drake from Luna's mouth.

"Hm.. Even if she was sleeping, you could hear her snoring from ten meters away," Luna overestimated from the fact.

"Correct? Ahaha. I can't believe a handsome guy like him snores like that when he sleeps. It's gonna be hard for him to find a companion."

"really so. I also have a husband like him. Already lazy to shower, slovenly, like to snore, peeling, then scraping the ears...." Luna exposed Drake's flaws while laughing amusedly.

"There's a tap, right? You forgot something.." Tera observed her brother who easily mentioned all of that.

"You mean?"

"But...."

"But what?"

"But he's good-looking, his caring is high, he's always protecting you when Richard's gang's kids are bothering you. In fact, it's thanks to him that the three of us can live better like this."

"Eh??" Luna gasped.

* flashback on *

That's right what Tera said. He forgot about that. Back when he was in the 1st grade of High School, a schoolmate and a village with him named Richard always bothered him. Even always insulted him who could not buy uniforms and books because he had an unemployed father.

It was only when Drake came accidentally in front of his house that his life changed. Back then, Drake had just won an illegal MMA match. He carried with him his winnings in his backpack.

However, not wanting to return home, he stepped uncertainly and aimlessly, until he arrived at the settlement where Luna lived.

Unintentionally, he saw Luna's father scavenging for trash looking for plastic objects and storing them in sacks.

Luna's starving father from yesterday fell limp right before Drake's eyes. Seeing that there was a faint person in front of him, of course Drake was not silent. He approached her directly.

"Uncle, are you okay??"

"Eeeehh.." replied Luna's father limp with no energy.

"Uncle wants a drink? I'm uncle, I have a drink," Drake hurriedly took down his bag and took a bottle from it. Then help Luna's father swallow his drink.

Drake who saw the weak condition of the man also said he would go for a while to buy food, "Wait here for a while uncle. I'll be right back."

Not long after, Drake came back and tore two plastic bags filled with bread and fried chicken.

Just as Drake was opening the plastic food he was carrying, Luna and Tera came over with anxious faces.

"Dad!"

"Dad! Why are you here? It's late at night, why not go home yet" exclaimed Tera, who was 12 at the time.

"Sorry kids, I haven't got a dime today. Looks like, I can't buy you any more food today."

SIIINGGG

"He's your father?" ask Drake.

"Yes. Whoareyou? What did you do to our father!" Luna pushed Drake who was crouching until he fell down.

"Eh? This-,"

HUGH!

Because Luna pushed him, the plastic fried chicken in Drake's hand fell to the ground until a fried chicken fell out.

"Luna, be polite to this young man. He had helped me when I almost fainted and he also bought food for me" said Luna's father.

"Is that really?"

Drake nodded, "Sorry for making you angry. You can take your father home now."

"Right dad, let's go home," Luna and Tera help their father stand up and step away.

"wait. Take this with you. I bought it for your father. But I think that's enough for all three of you."

"Hmm, okay. Thank you," Luna received a plastic bag filled with food.

"Then I go first" Drake nodded his head for a moment.

TAP

TAP

"Wait, boy!" call Luna's father.

Drake stopped his steps and looked back.

"Do you know where you live?"

"Me?"

Luna's father nodded.

"Actually, I left home this morning."

"Stop? Where are you going after this?" luna's father was worried.

"Eitherway. I'll see it later," Drake replied grimacing as if without a burden.

"Then, stay at our house last night's stuff."

"Eh??"

"Dad?? But he's,-"

"It's okay."

* flash back off *

GYUUTTT

It's been an hour. Time to get up and go to Thomas' office. Drake squirms while yawning.

CLAPS

"Luna makes breakfast what, huh?"

Drake goes to shower and prepares to meet Thomas at his office. He made his bed and some books and papers were scattered.

TRACKS

He dropped a pack of cigarettes and a lighter on the table before he got out of the house. After closing the door, then he stepped towards Luna's house across the street.

CKREK

Drake walks into Luna's house while Tera is relaxing on her phone.

"Eh? Brother Drake? Where are you going?" Tera looked at Drake fixedly.

"Give up my script," Drake replied casually and approached Luna in the kitchen.

"What's wrong?"

"What breakfast is today?" Drake asked without further ado.

"I make ramen."

"Well, what a coincidence. I'm already hungry. Give me a little, yeah, hehe."

Tera smiled amusedly at Drake's words that never convoluted but always what they were.

JENGS! JEEEANG!

And finally, Drake who originally said he would only ask for a little bit of it finally got a big bowl of ramen with the addition of half-cooked eggs, mushrooms and chopped chicken.

"Eat. This is specially made for you, sir. If it's still less I can get it again," Luna's tone changed very gently like a princess khayangan.

"You serious? Can I add more?" Drake was astonished and stared awkwardly at Luna. It was not usual for Luna to say softly while feeding her.

"A has anything happened to your brother, Tera? Why did she suddenly turn into the meek princess of heaven?" ask him to Tera.

Tera who was asked just laughed gigglingly.

LYRIC

Luna glanced at Drake with a flat face.

"Oh, I'm serious. Quickly spend it, before I change my mind," Luna's tone returned as usual.

"Eh, I'm so, uh,,,"

Although it sounds strange, Drake began to enjoy the delicious food. Secretly, Tera who was sitting on the sofa of the television room was observing Drake with a smile. It had been a long time since he had observed a different man eight years with her.
