"(y/n), wanna watch horror movies?"

you sighed, slamming your head down the desk. it was 2AM in the morning, and you were doing school work. the moist glass of iced coffee resided beside on your desk, a few papers scattered around with random colored pens messily thrown into a faded yellow pen holder.

"i'm busy, hu tao."

"awww, okay then!" hu tao closed the door shut, walking back to her own room.

you sighed. this was not exactly how you saw your life as a kid. as a kid, you imagined yourself as a social, colorful, happy person when you grow older. you go to cafes, have a group of friends, went out to the mall, and some sort of those things you would see in a slice of life anime.

but no.

you were here in your apartment, that you shared with your nocturnal but cheerful ghost freak roommate, and an anxious but diligent student who is also the student council secretary. hu tao and ganyu.

you were in your 3rd year, along with hu tao and ganyu, which means this year was all about getting ready for college. second term just started a week ago and yet they gave tons of workload, so much workload that you couldn't even count how many hours of sleep you even got per day. but for starters, you fall asleep the earliest by 12AM, and you wake up at 6AM to attend classes.

of course, you still wanted your colorful, social, friend groups and slice of life anime kind of life. heck, as long as it was happy. but right now, you feel like utter shit.

by the way, hu tao may look goofy but she was very fast in doing her work. while ganyu was very diligent and productive, not to mention smart too.

compared to all your dreams, you lived a bleak and boring life where there's no drama, your parents indifferent, your friends always busy, and school life repeating into a neverending cycle. this was honestly tiring, but you just wanted to pass.

it's like being tired was a part of you now.

but, who knows? as you continue to write your essay due tomorrow, you think that maybe someday, you'll achieve that change of pace in life that you were looking for.

then you found him.
