Yu Yan's POV.

It was a Sunday, a month passed from the day that I met Zeng Keni. We lived together quite peacefully but of course there were days when I wanted to kill her. Keni was just Keni. I knew her for only a month but I knew almost everything about her personality. She cried very often, she was clumsy, she didn't know how to cook, was lazy when she had to clean the apartment, she was noisy and she forgot or lost almost everything.

The said girl was somewhere out with her friends and I was at home, sitting in my room and studying for my upcoming tests. About three hours passed when my stomach started to feel a little hungry. I would say it's normal, cause I didn't eat since yesterday. My breakfast was just a simple coffee and a cigarette which is terrible, but I noticed my body getting quite bigger and I didn't want that. I was known for my almost perfect and slim body which I worked very hard for it. I decided to go on another diet which means: no meat, only fruits and vegetables, a little bit of carbs and doing a lot of cardio as well. There were days when my body wasn't feeling well and my stomach was dying from emptiness but I had to go with it, as there is the saying: "No pain, no gain".

I stood up from my desk and went to the kitchen to eat something light. I was peeling a carrot when a notification popped up on my phone. Putting down the carrot, my hand grabbed the cellphone so I could read it.

"I won't be home until the night."

It was a short message from Keni...

I chuckled at her cuteness. Every time she stayed out late, she wrote me a text or called me so I wouldn't have to worry about her. It's not like I would be worrying where she is, she is an adult after all, even older than me.

But still... It's cute.

After a salad for a lunch, I grabbed my guitar and started to strum some random song. I loved the feeling of being alone, just me and my guitar.

When I was younger I wanted to be a singer, but my dream shattered when my parents divorced. My mother supported my dream to be a singer and my father didn't. I wanted to be with mom of course and I know it sounds terrible but I liked her more than my father. Mother didn't want me though. It was not that she didn't love me but she wanted a brighter future for me. She persuaded me to stay with my father instead of her and I did as she told me, but after a year she died in a car accident. I wanted the bright future that she wanted for me, so I listened to my father and went to a college. I didn't give up singing completely though, from time to time I still end up at some random bar or a restaurant and play my guitar, letting a bunch of people listen to my voice.

It was about 4PM when I decided to go for a nice afternoon jog at the nearest park. I changed to my workout clothes, put on my sneakers, played my running playlist and went out. The almost cold wind was hitting my skin slightly as the feeling of the autumn air filled my lungs. Amazing was the perfect word to describe how I felt when I ran. The sun was starting to set slowly before I finished my final round around the park. Being quite exhausted, my body just fell down onto the grass as my eyes watched the beautiful scenery in front of me.

"Beautiful isn't it?"

Hearing the sentence I looked to my left side and saw a cute young girl watching the sky together with me.

"Yeah, it is." I smiled at her as she did at me too.

"Can I sit here as well?" she asked, looking adorably shy.
