the afternoon sun may have been shining, but the curtains shrouded zan's room in darkness, blocking the sunlight from even peeping in. the said girl was still in bed, eyes closed, and away in dreamland.

she was in a picture-esque reverie with the fictional man of her dreams, zen, when an obnoxious shriek from her phone lying innocently on her nightstand burst her bubble of pure bliss. with shut eyes and an irritated huff, she reached for the phone and glared at the screen.

jam was calling.

she sighed, stifled a yawn, and answered the call with a sleepy "hello?"

"oi, zan," jam said from the other line, voice somewhat monotonous, "go to your door."

"my door...?" she was still rather disoriented and was slightly confused at what jam was saying.

"your house door, dumbass," jam said, "there's someone waiting."

don't tell me zarrin ordered me a male stripper, zan thought as she grabbed her glasses, though i won't mind if the stripper is zen — wait, what?

"can someone answer the door?" zan heard her mom yelling from the kitchen as she opened her bedroom door, "zev, go get the door!"

zev, zan's younger sister who was two years younger than her, just grunted and refused to budge. zan sighed and headed towards the door, not expecting to see a man dressed in black and covered from head to toe.

she was about to ask if she could offer him any assistance when this man (definitely a middle-aged dude) said a brief "happy birthday" and awkwardly handed her a plastic bag, contents unknown.

she closed the door and peered into the plastic bag, noting the design of the box. it was from her favourite takoyaki store down the street, accompanied by a cup of brown sugar bubble tea. she already knew who the mysterious sponsors were.

not long after she started finishing up her takoyaki, there was more knocking on the door. quickly swallowing the next ball of takoyaki, she headed towards the door and opened it. this time, it was a teenage boy around her age, donning a 'foodpanda' cap. he had a rather large build, suggesting that he did sports.

the thing that drew zan in was his eyes: dark brown, deep, and effortlessly gorgeous. she could stare into them all day, any day—

"hey, i have a message from, uh..." this guy looks at his hand, only to see smudged ink, "'carrot'. happy birthday!"

he smiled at her and zan felt her heart do a backflip. his eyes were beautiful, but his smile? it definitely made him seem a hundred times cuter than he already was. her jaw dropped slightly and she quickly closed it up, offering an awkward smile.

he handed her a big plastic bag with a box inside, and she accepted it gingerly, accidentally touching his fingertips. to say that her skin was not jolted, like as if an electric charge was passed through her, was a complete, flat-out lie.

she was still staring at this guy, all googly-eyed, and this guy seemed dense. he just smiled at her, told her to stay sage, waved, and just walked off.

as she watched him go off, she clutched the box tightly, almost going to the extent of hugging it.
