The next day.

"Did you sleep well?" asked Briena as soon as she saw Vian open her eyes, even though she was still sleeping on the couch.

"Hehm, I slept very well," said Vian then woke up and sat leaning on the couch. "You think I'm going to say that," he added sarcastically. Vian's current appearance looks very messy, a super crumpled shirt, a tie that has disappeared out of nowhere, ruffled hair. It's very different from Vian's usual early morning display.

"I'd be disappointed if you said that," Briena said broadly. "Because I really hope that you can't sleep, so you won't be waiting for me here," he added later. The woman resumed her activities to eat the fruit that was brought by her mother yesterday.

"This time I'll let you be a little happy, but not next time, Bi," Vian said, then headed to the balcony while sticking a cell phone into his ear, trying to contact someone.
