[Happy Birthday, Krystal! <3]

@Kris "Looks like you really like to shop..", She tilted her head. There was rarely boys like him who would like to do groceries shopping. At least, that was what she thought. Krystal ruffled his hair gently. "You really adore him huh?", she smiled. "i envy, i wish i have a sibling too", she pursed her lips.

"it's okay! we can clean it later~", she said it calmly as if the room could tidy by itself. "lets do the groceries shopping first and tidy it when we're back~", her mind become fresh at the thought of it. Besides, she had to stop being an introvert and got out of her room once in a while.

@Krystal "I can do groceries shopping." He offered happily. Shopping was one of his hobbies actually, if only he would admit it. "Just let me know what to buy." He fished out a map from his pocket, placed it on the table. "I did some research for where I could find the best yet cheap stuffs."

Yifan shook his head and smiles. "It was fine. I liked talking about him." The twins were so close and Yifan adored Kris a lot. They were only minutes separated but their attitude were so different. "I am not tired. So don't worry. I would be happy to help." He stood up and looked around for where he could start the cleaning. "Where should I start?"

@Kris "wah! it would be good if you could help", she smiled happily. "helping me with the kitchen or shopping ingredients will help me so much!", she grinned and patted his back.

"and sorry for being so similar to your twin...", Krystal apologized with expressionless face. "you're the one who bring him up", she chuckled. "But okay, not talk about him..", she stopped chuckling. Krystal raised her eyebrow when Yifan mentioned about cleaning. "what? you were just arrived here.. You sure are fired up huh? let's be relax a bit", she laughed even though she knew that it would be difficult to relax in her room because her room already looked like a broken ship. She took a breath and just leaned on the sofa.

@Krystal Yifan blushed when Krystal asked him about his non-existance cooking skills. "Not so much, Kris is better than me on that one." He admitted shyly. "But I can help you in the kitchen." He added hopefully, looking like a lost kitten wishing to be praised by his owner (xD).

"You really similar to my twin." He told the girl, slightly elt hurt when the thought of his twin kept coming back to his mind. "But let's not talk about him more." He clapped excitedly. "Tell me where I should start cleaning from?'

@Kris Krystal nodded. She raised her eyebrow when he talked about his twin. "He hates cleaning? to be honest, me too..", she chuckled. "Well, actually i'm not this lazy when i was a kid. But it becomes bad habit now", she shook her head and smiled.

Krystal grins happily. "oh! i usually cook fried chicken, chicken soup", she shook her head. "No no.. i cook chicken too much lately. Usually i also cook vegetable soup, stir-fried, fried tofu and curry", she grins. "by the way Yifan, can you cook?", she tilted her head. "just wondering.."

@Krystal "Nah, it is okay." Yifan tried to hide his embarrassment by laughing. "Your couch looks comfy." Krystal was so nice to him that Yifan felt so lucky. But no, he could not invaded the girl's privacy more than he did now. Maybe later when they knew each other better.

"Yeah, like that." He nodded. "I used to do that at home." Suddenly he chuckled. "For Kris too because he hated those stuffs." The twins were close but their personalities were totally opposite. Their parents were wandering how since they were looking exactly the same. "What kind of food that you like to cook?" Yifan felt less and less awkward now. In his opinion, Krystal was really a great host.

@Kris Krystal chuckled. "Sorry that i have scared you", she shook her head, she always like that when she was shocked. "Are you sure in the sofa? Actually i have bunk bed. I prepared it in case my friend will oversleep here. But it still up to you", she smiled.
"Really? housekeeping? like cleaning? and cooking?", her eyes widened, She felt like meeting with a genie. She knew exactly how dislike herself at cleaning. It was like a century since the last time she did. She only did it when someone would take a visit. "you're a guest", she shook her head. "but we can do cleaning together!", she grins. "However, cooking is my speciality! So i will cook", she smiled proudly.

@Krystal Yifan cringed, he really did not want to ruin the chance of taking shelter tonight but he really did not want to be burdensome to the girl. "Thank you. I think I'll be okay in the sofa." He smiled widely and genuinely moved by Krystal's sincerity. "I could help you on housekeeping." He added quickly, even when he did not know how to cook or cleaning properly.

@Kris Krystal raised her eyebrow when Yifan mentioned about sleep in the carpet. "Oh My Gosh! what!!? In the carpet? Nonono... no way!", she said it in fluent English. "You can sleep on the mattress or at least at the sofa. How can i let a guest sleep on the carpet?". Maybe she knew him not for long, but she would treat him nicely since she knew that Yifan is a kind person. She remembered exactly how he payed her and the other friends at cafe where they met days ago even though he didn't have much money at that time. staying at her place is just a small offer that could she give to him.

@Krystal Still could not believe his luck, Yifan smiled like an idiot. "I won't start any trouble. I promise." He lifted his fingers to make a promise sign. "I could sleep in the carpet. Don't worry." He did not want to create problem for his host, Krystal was too nice to let him stay even when they were only knew each other for a while.

@Kris Krystal nodded and smiled cheerfully. “yeah you could! I will do what i can to help you”, she smiled. “And all i can do right now is just offering you stay at my place. Yeah, it’s only if you’re interested”, she grinned.

@Krystal "Thank you" Yifan took the cookies happily. He had not eat yet since he was saving his money for place to stay. What Krystal said later had startled him. He was about to ask the girl if he could crashing there. "Jinjja? I really could stay here?" He beamed at the girl, looking few years younger than his real age. "I don't have a place to stay yet." He said in embarrassment, not really wanted the girl to know that he was a broke man. "I am still looking."

@Kris Krystal smiled slightly when Yifan said that he missed his twin. She just moved to that town months ago. She hadn't known his twin for long. She even didn't remember if she had met and talk with him or not. She couldn't tell him much about his twin. About what kind of person is he, what's he used to talk with the other citizens there, and many more. She shook her head.

"Oh! i have made some cookie. Here, have some!", She put a plate of cookie on the table in front of him. "By the way, have you get a place to stay?", she tapped her chin with her fingers. "you can stay here if you want", she smiled. She wanted to help him as much as she could.

@Krystal Yifan shook his head and smiling at the girl. "Nah, it's okay. I missed him, that's all." Glancing around the room, he noticed that some stuffs are colored pink. That made him frown a little. Krystal's mature appearance was a little odd with the color choice. But he kept quiet and continued to chat over the books. His backpack lied on the floor, half forgotten.

@Kris Krystal was thinking when yifan asked her. "hmm.. i like comedy, mystery, and fantasy manga. And i like it more if it has romance too", she laughed.

"i'm sorry, i have reminded you of your missing twin", she frowned and patted his back. "i like watching movies too. but sometimes a film can't describe the situation that happened in the book completely. That's why i like reading books better", she smiled slightly while tidying some of her books. "oh oh! i did that most of the times too. I was so curious to know the ending, so i skip it to the last chapter to see it, then continue reading", she chuckled knowing that she wasn't the only one who did that.

@Krystal Yifan laughed as he read some of the titles. "I like manga too." He added as he caught some familiar covers. "What kind of manga do you like the most?"

YIfan sighed when Krystal mentioned his twin. "He likes books more than me. I read but not an avid fan like him." He smiled at the girl before her. "I like movies more. Sometimes I am too impatient to read a book until the end. I skip directly to the last chapter most of the times." He laughed at his own stupid habit.

@Kris Krystal looked at her bookshelf. She didn't realize she have that many. "Really?", she laughed. "I don't.. I don't know that I got that many, I just buy it because I want to read it. Some of them is borrowed though", she laughed.

"Well, I like to read books about cake and sweets", she smiled and sat in the sofa in front of him. "Because I was a patissiere, so that's why". "Oh! And I like manga too", she chuckled with exitement.

She raised her eyebrow. "So, your missing twin likes book? How about you?", she grinned.

@Krystal Yifan shook his head because what Krystal said was sounded strange. How could no one wanted to visit such beautiful girl like that? "You don't have too, I don't think it is messy." He smiled to the girl, feeling warm of being welcome.

"You have a lot of books." He clasped his hand over his mouth as soon as he blurted out. "Sorry, I haven't seen anyone who has books as much as these than my missing twin." He sighed, remembered his lost twin. "What kind of books you like... if you don't mind I am asking."

@Kris "Don't worry. It's always the right time. I'm not a busy person". She says that because it's the reality. All she could do all the time just watching TV to the extent she was getting bored and lonely. So she's very happy when someone visit her.

"You must be kidding! My room isn't looked nice at all, it's messy. isn't looked like a girl's room at all", she says that while offering Yifan to sit on the sofa. "I haven't tidied it lately, because no one ever visited me. You should tell me if you want to visit so that i will tidy it a little", she says while pouring a glass of water and give it to him.

@Krystal "Hey". Yifan waved shyly when Krystal opened the door. "Is it the right time to visit?" The young man was in a need of a place to crash but he would understand if she was busy and did not want to be disturbed. Maybe he could try his luck to the couple that owned the cafe, for instance.

But when she opened the door wider and welcomed him, Yifan immediately slipped into the room, smiling like an idiot. "You have a nice apartment!" He stood in the middle of the room, glancing around because he did not know where she wanted him to sleep.

@Kris Krystal was in the middle of watching her favorite anime when she hears someone knocking her door. It sounds weird because she never has a guest since she moved to this town. She remembered that she ever invited people to visit her, they just say 'yes' but they never really visited her.

"Who's there?", she says while walking to the door. When she opens the door, she can see a boy she met at a small cafe several days ago. She invited him to her apartment then. But she never thought that he will really come.
"Come in, come in", she tells him to enter the room.

@Krystal It had been a week since Yifan came to the town to find his twin. But not a single clue he had retrieved but a letter written by Kris telling him that the latter was gone in a trip to get his lover back. Yifan should know about that before he decided to came there. Kris was always the emotional one between them, he should suspected this to happen. But no, Yifan was fallen into the false hope again and now he was by himself in this foreign town. And broke. He would never able to rent an apartment by himself.

That's why when a girl named Krystal, who he met in a small cafe in the town, told him he could come sometimes to her apartment, Yifan was trying his luck. Maybe she would let him stayed in her floor and he could do anything for her to pay back. Taking one last deep breath, the young man knocked on the door, waiting.

"yeay! finally! my own room!", she jumped to her bed with exitement.
