Hyunjin woke up from his sleep after hearing a loud thud coming from the television. He just realized that he fell asleep on the couch last night. The movie kept repeating by itself. He closed the tv and opened his phone while yawning.

He checked the time and it's already 1 p.m. Putting the phone back on the table, he rubbed his puffy face and kinda slapped himself to make him fully awake. Once again yawning, he looked at the mess in front of him.

Slices of pizza on the table and some of it on the couch, some of the orange juice on the table and floor, the pillow he hugged all night was now on the floor. He sighed and got up from the couch.

Wanna do or not, he needs to.

He took up the glass, plate and pizza's box and brought them to the kitchen. He placed the glass and plate in the sink and threw the box in the trashbin. He went back at the living room with a small towel to wipe up the spilled juice.

After done, he put the pillow back to its place. He looked around and saw the mess become completely cleaned. He walked to the kitchen and washed the dishes.

Done doing that too, he just dried up his hands using his shirt that he was wearing and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Hyunjin plopped down on the sofa in the living room. He sighed. Doesn't know what to do. His life is so boring, no one around him that he can talk to, no work, not knowing what will happen to him. Then he decided to watch the scenery from his balcony.

But on the way to the balcony, he saw the draw of that person on the dining table. He stopped walking, staring at it as he walked towards the draw. And again, he sighed but this time, with a smile.

Atleast he has this drawing. He felt safe whenever he look at those shining eyes, mounts of freckles and that smile.

"I really wanna learn about you. Where can I find you.." he sat on the chair, tugging his chin using his hand as he kept on staring at the drawing.

He is had enough of living alone. Has nothing to do. Then an idea came up in his pretty brain.

"I'll find you. That's my work from now on"

Hyunjin is now at 7-Eleven. He was going to buy some chocolates. Even though he doesn't that much of a boy who likes eating sweets, he thought that he needs something to make him gains some energy.

As soon as he walked in, the bell above the entrance door rang. He quickly made his way towards the shelves full of sweets. He took a chocolate bar and 2 lollipops then payed for them at the counter.

"Is this all?" the cashier asked. He nodded.

Done with that, he walked out of 7-Eleven and went to his bike.

"First destination.." he mumbled as he tore the lollipop wrapper and put the lollipop in his mouth. He thought of the first destination for a while.

Then he sighed.

"It's only the beginning yet I don't even know how to find him" he looked down sighing again. Then he stared at his bicycle.

"I trust you, buddy. Lead me anywhere you think he will be at" he said confidently.

———

The first destination Hyunjin's bike lead him to is the park. Hyunjin stopped his bike to park it at the bicycle spot.

Before he went to do his work, he locked his beloved bike to the whatever its name is. I forgot "D

Then Hyunjin walked around starting from the playground, now the garden and stalls section. The picture kept flashing in his mind.

After a while, he saw something.

He saw.

A bench.

Yeah, a bench. The finding activity makes him thirsty and it feels so exhausting. He sat down on the bench and rest for a while before continue to search for the boy.

He thought that it's weird for him to find a boy that he himself doesn't know exist or not. But this is his last hope though.

He put his hands on both his sides on the bench to rest, but suddenly, he felt something not too hard and not too soft. It feels like chocolate wrapper. He looked down and saw a small packet of chocolate bar.

"Huh?" he took it his hand and look at the flavour of chocolate bar.

"New version from our brand. Chocolate with salt. Wtf? Who eat chocolate with salt?" he frowned as he looked around to search for the owner of the chocolate. But he saw no one was searching for it.

"Well, sometimes we can just take what's not ours"

He stood up and opened the wrapper, done with that he took a small bite. Then his eyes widen.

"This is.. wow"

It taste not too sweet and not too salty. The combination is just nice for him. He likes it. No— He loves it.

Without him realizing it, he ate the whole bar of chocolate till the last pieces. Then he walked to his bike and went to the next destination.

His home.

Yeah, he's a lazy person. He knows that he needs to fight those lazy thought that keeps him from doing anything that he really want. It's been a longgg time since he's being a hard working boy. Now he's nothing. He is too lazy to do anything.

His next target is 2 places for tomorrow.

After he arrived home, he straightly(not so straight) went to his bedroom and plopped down on the bed and automatically asleep.

But he also makes sure he locked his house before he went to his bedroom.

The snores sound filled up the empty house.
