5 - It's You

The library was quiet as it usually is. Just a few hushed voices and whispers here and there as to not disturb people from doing their work whether it be finishing a project, doing research or just grabbing a book to read.

Among these people was Can, who was sitting on one of the tables near the corner. He was there because he was studying. There aren't any major tests or anything, he just wanted to study because his grades has been dipping as of late. He wanted to fix that because he wanted a successful future for himself. Oh, and also because his mother found out about his grades, and threatened him that if he did not get his grades higher, there will be serious consequences for that.

He had gotten a couple of books about home economics because he wanted to start a restaurant when he finished his education. Can focused all his attention into studying, taking down notes for future references and easy retention of information. Can may look like someone who can't focus on a single task, someone who takes it easy most of the time but he can be hardworking and diligent if he puts in his efforts.

He has been in the library for about 3 hours now, his table has a few empty cups that were once filled with coffee. He wanted to rest but he didn't want to ruin his work flow, so he just continued on reading, understanding and jotting down notes into his notebook.

Can was so focused on what he was doing that he didn't notice someone coming to his table. The person coughed but it went unnoticed by the laser focused boy. The person then tapped Can's shoulder and muttered an 'excuse me' to get his attention. Finally, Can looked up to see who it was. It took him a second to realize who the man was.

"It's You!"

Tin was at a café for breakfast. Usually, he would make himself breakfast but he was tired from the long week and decided to just relax for the day. Tin had no classes for today so he was free to do anything he liked. Tin was eating a rich, chocolaty, decadent slice of chocolate cake. It had two layers of cake with rich chocolate sandwiched in the middle. It was topped with a thin, brittle layer of hardened chocolate with a dollop of white icing. It was deliciously elegant, add to that the caramel latte he was having along with it and you got yourself the best breakfast anyone could ask for.

He was outside the café, enjoying the fresh air and cool, gentle breeze flowing. It calmed his mind and relaxed his tense body from the exhausting week he had. He had to do and pass four different outputs this week and it literally drained him of energy. It's hard being a university student but that is to be expected since after this, you become part of society, building the economy and setting a place for the next generations. 

He drank the last of his latte, savoring the flavor of it. He then left the café and decided to stroll around the area, wanting to just take in the scenery. While people was busy with their daily life, going to work, running errands, stuck in traffic and much more, Tin was just there observing everything like he was detached from the world. He didn't mind this feeling, he actually liked it. It felt like he was free from the mundane routine that is his university life.

He walked with a relaxed posture and moderately slow pace. He looked like he had not a single care to the world, just living free and content. Passersby looked at him with a hint of jealousy in their eyes. They wanted to take a break from the stresses of life and just enjoy the moment. 

When walking alone, Tin would have an internal monologue with himself. Since he had no one else to talk to other than Pete, he would talk to himself in his mind. It's his way filling in the quiet in his head.

'This is nice. Just walking and having a day away from school is just what I needed.'

'It would be nicer if I had someone accompany me.'
