"Hello…?"

"Klein. Woo Young here. Did you skip school?"

Klein glanced at his clock and looked back to the front.

"I forgot to be alive this morning."

Klein saw the time is already afternoon which means he skips school. He can't blame his mother because she had to go to work early. He blamed his alarm that he didn't set instead. When he heard the doorbell, he opened it and saw his two friends with a packet of cake in hand.

"Good day! You skipped half a chapter of your life today!" Han said with a smile.

Klein clicks his tongue and accepts the cake. He invites them both inside and serves them tea. When he sat down in front of them, he stayed silent. He didn't expect them to visit which made him sit there and stare at them.

"How is your day?"

"Just started. You?"

Woo Young sighs but pulls Han's collar in anger.

"Today, this guy finally revealed to me that he has been texting this one author that I like! How can he keep something like that from me that long?!"

"Ehe, I was so happy talking with him. Sorry I forgot to tell you."

"Forgetting it is even worse!"

Klein went to the kitchen and washed his face. He still feels tired and wants to go back to his dreamland. He even thought about how fluffy his bed is and how annoying his two friends are. He got a text which he checked immediately.

Han.busy: Hey! My friend accidentally skip school today, lol. What about you? How's life going?

K: …I am tired.

Han.busy: Then get some rest. I won't bother you!

Han.busy: But, you should read 'The Villains all Tried to kill me'

K: Isekai?

Han.busy: Isekai.

He put his phone in his pocket and saw Woo Young pinching Han's cheeks. She didn't even wait for Klein to ask, she immediately complained to him.

"He didn't even let me see his conversation with K!"

"Sorry! Ouch- let go damn it-"

Klein sat down again and closed his eyes. When Han saw this, he pushed Woo Young's face and made a silent gesture. Woo Young saw Klein sleeping and quickly covered her mouth. She knew very well how loud she is so covering her own mouth is probably helpful.

When it is suddenly quiet, Klein opens his eyes. Now why did his two friends become quiet. He saw his two friends with their phone in hand, ready to snap a picture of him sleeping. Knowing very well how ugly he looks right now, he covers his face and gives them the middle finger.

"Rude!"

"You're rude."

"Okay boys! Change subject! You're sleepy because you aren't talking! So, let's talk about interest!"

"No."

The quick response Klein gave made his two friends pout at him. He sighs and leans back to the couch.

"I like writing and reading, I suppose."

This makes his two friends happily slam their hand on the coffee table and their eyes shine like little kids getting free candy. He knew very well they liked reading so for them to find another person like them, it was like a blessing?

"What book do you write or read?!"

"I…read horror. I write a slice of life or sci-fi genre novel."

"Are you…an author?! Popular?!"

Klein looks away and refuses to answer. Han glanced at Woo Young who kept pestering the boy while he checked on K's profile. He smiles and keeps his phone. He knew it's probably a coincidence but he would like to believe it's real.

'If you're K, I am glad you chose me as your assistant.'

Han pulls the girl away from Klein's view and makes her sit down on the couch. This causes her to complain about Han again and they end up having an argument for the second or third time. Klein had no energy but remembers he needed to write a chapter. Of course he needs to do that when these two are gone from his house.

K: I have some problems. I will send the chapter a bit late today.

Han heard his phone buzzing and checked the sender. He saw Klein who's secretly holding his phone with a small smile. He pushed Woo Young's face again and answered the text. If Klein wanted to hide his identity, he respected it.

Han.busy: Ah no worries! I am busy too!

Han.busy: By the way, do you plan on writing a different genre after the latest book?

Han.busy: just wondering because you seem to love writing sci-fi and slice of life!

K: No.

Of course, this guy didn't even pause to think. Han puffs his cheeks and checks the time. They finally left the house and he took a selfie with Woo Young. He sent it online which, of course, received few likes from his followers. He's not that popular so it's fine for him.

When Han entered his house and cleaned himself, he left his phone on the dining table. Mr Ryan who heard his phone buzzing a few times, checked on it and sighs. In his father's opinion, he spends too much time on social media. He even gets a lot of notification from it.

"Oi Han! Your phone is too loud!"

Han peeked from the bathroom and covered himself up before checking on his phone. He checked on the notification and widened his eyes.

K: You guys look like you're having fun.

Klein also likes his other post and it ends with Klein following him. This is on a different platform than the one they use to communicate so he was shocked! How can his favorite author find his account?

'God really loves you. Why would he recommend your account to me?'

Despite thinking that, Klein already likes every photo Han posted and comments on his recent post. He was just checking on his social media that he rarely checks. Surprisingly, on recommendation, he found Han's account and checked on it.

"I am sleepy again."
