As morning sun shine at their window, Karen woke up with wicked hair just like usual morning. She gets up, stretches her arms and hips.. She turn around, suddenly she was spooked «Waah!». at the other side of bed was Aster sleeping softly like log. Reason why she was spooked, because it was her room, she was half naked while sleeping and she didn't know there was boy on her bed. Luckily he had his clothes on. She took a dictionary from the shelf and slams on his face. «ASTER YOU DISGUSTING, PERVERT!» she yelled before she slams. «Pha!» Aster went unconscious for a bit. «Why did you do that?» he said while unconscious. «WHY ARE YOU IN MY ROOM?» she question with anger. «Huh?, Its my room.» «NO ITS MINE-» «wait its your room?» she calm down with confusion. «Yeah its my room, you can tell by shelf are basically filled with history records.» «Then why im i here then?» «Well i don't know, ask yourself?.» She was filled with question and confusion. «Now you said it, Last night, you couldn't sleep because it was too dark and lonely.» «...» she was speechless. «Oh, thats what happened.» she said it.

Opens the door went back to her room.

Her face was very very red. She was so embarrassed that she wants to slam her head to desk because of idiotic move. Meanwhile Aster went back to sleep and forgets everything that happened.. just like usual.

As they both went down stairs to get their breakfast, Karen smells fresh bread and Miyula's favorite jam. «Jam!!» Miyula jam was made by her Karen mother, its mixed with Cherri berries and Vindel Berries. She loved it so much that she could eat ten bread slices with it.
