As Quila left for work at 3:40 a.m., Kjin found himself heading towards the nearest computer cafe. The rain poured down relentlessly, leaving him with no choice but to seek shelter.

As he reached the cafe, a glimmer of hope flickered within him. However, his heart sank as he discovered the doors tightly shut, the bright neon sign mocking him from behind the glass.

Disappointment washed over him, but he refused to let it extinguish his determination. Kjin decided to wait outside, hoping that time would pass quickly.

Resigned to his circumstances, he took a seat on a nearby bench, then reached into his pocket and retrieved his phone, its glow casting an ethereal light upon his face. With a deep breath, he opened a blank document, ready to breathe life into his imagination.

Fingers dancing across the screen, Kjin began to weave a tapestry of words. His mind became a canvas, each keystroke painting vibrant scenes and complex characters. The rain became a distant hum as his focus sharpened, his excitement growing with every sentence.

Kjin's mind was a whirlwind of anticipation and passion. He could almost hear the characters whispering their stories to him, their voices becoming louder and more distinct with each passing moment. Their hopes, dreams, and fears merged with his own, fueling his creativity.

With each word, Kjin's characters took shape, their actions and emotions springing to life on the digital page. He could see them vividly, their expressions etched in his mind. Their struggles and triumphs became his own, a symphony of emotions echoing within him.

Lost in his creative reverie, Kjin felt a sense of purpose, a fire within him that burned brighter than the rain-soaked morning. The world around him faded into the background as his story took center stage, its potential stretching out before him like an uncharted path.

Sitting on a bench in front of the cafe, Kjin began to create a detailed outline of his current story. As he typed away, his mind was filled with excitement and anticipation. He envisioned the characters coming to life, their actions and emotions vividly portrayed through his words.
