At 09:00 in the morning, Yuan was just awakened by the sound of the alarm he had set last night.
The man woke up not without reason, it was because he had just slept at two in the morning.
Since the incident of the night where his true identity was revealed, the cafe where Yuan worked became more and more visitors, even the owner finally implemented a twenty-four-hour system, using a shifting schedule on his employees.
Yuan got the evening schedule due to the man's own wishes, he asked the cafe owner to arrange his work schedule according to the schedule of his daily activities. Because after college, after all, he had to practice with his friends to prepare to perform at the campus celebration event which is less than a week away.
"He hasn't come home yet." Yuan muttered when he accidentally saw the door of the apartment owner's room that had become his temporary residence.
The man then walked to fetch the milk he had stored in the refrigerator, Yuan also took a packet of sandwich bread in the cupboard.
While he was focusing on his breakfast, suddenly he heard the sound of his phone, a call notification came in from his cousin — Nana on his phone screen.
Yuan shifted the green button and pressed the loud speaker of the phone.
"What's wrong?" Yuan asked directly, when the phone line had been connected.
"You're coming, right?"
"Ah your graduation? Sorry, I can't seem to attend, I have to practice to prepare for the campus anniversary. Doesn't matter, does it?"
There was a sigh from across the street, Nana sighed as Yuan said she could not attend the graduation ceremony.
"Yes, no problem." Nana answered, sounding lethargic.
"I'm sorry Nana. I promise, by the time you graduate with an art major, I'll definitely be here." Yuan said, the man tried to eliminate the disappointment that was enveloping Nana.
"Of course you'll come, you fool, you're trying to trick me? When I graduate majoring in art, you will also graduate majoring in business management, we will graduate at the same time. How could you not come." Nana.
"You're so smart, my cousin! Aaa— is already yes, I'm late, see you." Yuan said, who immediately turned off the phone.
Yuan smiled broadly, holding his laughter as he looked at his phone that he had placed on the dining table.
The man was actually not too late, because he had no scheduled activities today.
Yuan only has one course for today, but yesterday, the lecturer who taught the course told me that he did not attend today.
Yuan was also on a work holiday, and again, his training today was on break because Kin had to go to his grandmother's place.
And because of all that, at the moment, his schedule of activities Yuan only one, lazing around.

The bus terminal was quite crowded, many people had arrived since this morning.
Rose got off the bus that just drove her back to the capital. His feet stepped on the road to the sidewalk.
Rose returned to her feet while pulling the suitcase she was carrying. He walked down the sidewalk with his face down.
The distance between the bus terminal and the house is not too far away. If he is on foot, more or less, Rose takes about an hour. But he can shorten it by taking a taxi, which only takes about twenty minutes.
However, Rose is a super frugal girl, not because she is too economical, but because she must be good at managing her own money. If it can still be traveled on foot, why use a vehicle that will cost a lot.
"Yuan still lives in my apartment, doesn't he?" Rose muttered, she kept thinking about her beloved man. Moreover, the man never contacted him when Rose was still in the city where her mother lives now. While he was hoping, Yuan contacted him.
Although Rose knew, if her hope it would only be a joke to the other Yuan-loving girls. Who is he? Why would Yuan have to call her? — Maybe that's what Rose would hear from the girls' mouths.
With a sigh heard from Rose, the girl remembered all the facts she had while at her aunt's house.
The fact that his father used to be a good man now turned into a man with a bad attitude and nature.
Rose also finally found out, the reason why her mother remained with her father. It was all because of the love and hope that never died out in his mother's heart.
As Rose unconsciously smiled, she felt that her mother had been fooled by love and hope, but seeing herself, she was not much different from her mother.
He also has great love and hope in his heart for a man, a man who would not be likely to be his life companion, a man who has a social class that is far different from him.
"If you think about it, Yuan is like a tall tree and I am the ground, Yuan will always grow towered, while I— the land will forever remain below." Mumbled Rose.
"Rose?!" A man called out to him from a distance.
Rose narrowed her eyes, sharpened her vision, so that she could know, who had called her name.
"Rose! Is that you?" Asked the man, he walked up to Rose, the man wearing a jacket with a hood covering his head, making it difficult for Rose to recognize the man from a short distance away.
As the man reached her, Rose frowned, wondering, Who is the person behind the hood?
"It's me, Yuan." Said Yuan while opening the hood of his jacket.
"Yuan? What are you wearing? Is this really you?" Rose asked, he could not believe it when he saw the man wearing a cheap jacket with yellow training pants in matching colors.
"What's wrong? Come home, and take this." Yuan said as he threw a plastic bag containing snacks and drinks at Rose. After that, he walked ahead of Rose who was still silent on the spot.
The girl swiftly caught the plastic bag that Yuan threw at her, Rose looked at the plastic bag and saw the contents inside, then her gaze turned to Yuan who had walked quite far in front of her.
"Oi! What do? Let's go fast!" Shouted Yuan who was several meters ahead there.
"Yes." Yeah." Rose replied, the girl then grabbed her suitcase and pulled it again. His right hand pulled the suitcase, while his left hand held a large plastic bag but did not feel heavy for him.
Looking at Rose who had started to step up, Yuan involuntarily smiled, but then he displayed his cold face again and again walked ahead of Rose who looked painstakingly walking behind him.
