Phana opened his eyes. Then he sat down on the chair properly, looks at the books that he used as pillow before he closed it and put it in his bag. He fell asleep while reading again. Hearing the sound coming from his phone, he turned his head to it and glances at the caller ID. He just stare at his phone until it became missed calls. He doesn't want to talk to anyone as of now. He doesn't even feel like doing anything.

He stare at the name on the notifications of his phone. Some messages are from Beam and Kit on their group chat and some are from Wan. Phana is sure that it was Forth who told Wan to message him. Forth rarely message Phana but mostly he is telling his engineering friends to message him on his behalf. He sighed and then put down his phone, facing the table and then stand up, get some clothes from his cabinet and some towel that hangs on the wall.

Phana quickly walks to the bathroom door, opened it, and go inside to take some bath. He puts the clothes on the sink, he also make sure that the part where he put his clothes is not wet. Then, stare at himself on the mirror.

He looks awful. His hair is messy, below his eyes are some eyebags. He suddenly becomes pale. It's obvious that he is not feeling well and he don't have enough sleep for few days already.

Phana grabbed the toothbrush on the side and put some toothpaste on it. He slowly brushing his teeth while looking at himself on the mirror in front of him. Seeing him in that state is not so likable.

After brushing his teeth, he quickly clean his face with a water and soap. He splashed the water on his face before he dried his face using the clean white towel beside him. He stare on his face again on the mirror and shakes his head. Even after he did, it doesn't change the fact that he looks awfully bad.

He turned around and go towards the shower. He removed his clothes, put it on the laundry basket and then opened the shower.

It was cold but Phana didn't mind it. The cold water that dropped on his body seems like don't have any effect on Phana. He just let it drops on his flawless body for almost 2 minutes before he grabs the shampoo, put some on his hands, rubs it together and put it on his own hair. He ruffles it here and there before he opened the shower again to clean his hair, making sure that there's no shampoo on his hair.

After cleaning it, he closed the shower again and grabs the soap to clean his whole body. It starts on his neck, down to his collar bone, chest, abs, hands and legs. Phana opened the shower again to let the water clean those bubbles because of the soap on his body.

When Phana is done, he quickly go towards the sink to grabbed the towel that he will used to dry his whole body. After that, he grabbed his oversized shirt and put in on his body. Followed by the brief and short. Then again, Phana stare at his own reflection on the mirror above the sink. He looks still awful but more okay than earlier.

It was clear that his lips are still pale and his eyebags are clearly seen. Phana slowly caressed his own reflection on the mirror as if there's another Phana in front of him.

“Are you still okay? Breathing fine?” Phana asked himself because no one will. “I hope you are fine.” he whisper on himself before he stare at himself one more time on the mirror.

Even after some time of staring at himself. Phana really saw nothing but awful, “You looked awful today. Let's be happy tomorrow, okay?” he said to himself before he withdraw his hand that caressing his face on the mirror, grabs the towel and start walking on his bedroom. He picked up the hair dryer and before he plugs it so that he can used it to dry his own hair.

While he is drying his hair, he was just staring at his front. He doesn't really feel well, he doesn't want to do anything, he just want to lay his body. After drying his hair, he quickly get his comb and brushed his hair to the back.
