'Find comfort in chaos.'


In a nutshell, Mark sees his life as a boring man who has the same routine every single day. Mark is an introvert he only has a few friends and they are Ploy and James are those two people with that Mark feel most comfortable sharing all his ups and downs.


Once upon a time, during his University days, Marks tends to get a lot of attention with his multitalented personality. Mark always makes himself active in all clubs and activities and is always surrounded by people who admired him. But things were hard for Mark when he decided to come out among his University mates. During times James and Ploy were always there for him to support him. To be honest, Mark did not affect by all the back clashes he gets from the University after the event of coming out happened and more to say he suits himself to it as he somehow expect this could happen.


Time flies, Mark graduated with Bachelor's in Finance (Hons) as a first-class student. Now Mark is in his mid 20's working in a well-paid corporate job and supporting his mother who staying in his hometown. Mark has been asking his mother to move in with him at his studio apartment, but his mother insists to stay at their house as it always reminds the memories his mom had with Mark's late father. Like a son like a mother with adamant and stubborn behaviour :)


Currently, Mark working in Jaya Corp located in the main city as a junior executive finance officer. Wake up, commute, eight to five work, eat and sleep are the only thing repeating Mark's life to say that nothing fancy is happening in Mark's life. Even though Mark feels grateful for what he has right now with shelter, a permanent job and three times meals he still feels there something was missing in his life.


Well, the word "I love you" has never been received nor said by someone to Mark. Mark has dated a few people before this, but none of them beat his expectation. All of them desire Mark for his body perhaps a one-night stand, but Mark wants a relationship that is more than a physical involvement. Mark needs someone who he can lean on and shows all his love every day. At this point, Mark is really in the mid of giving up on love, there is when Vee enters his life and makes Mark's pathetic life changed into blooming flowers.

It's hard for Vee to get an attachment with Ploy since she just reserved herself for work without having any additional conversations with the employees.
