Rei walked into the lavishly, yet homely styled sitting room and immediately crashed onto the couch. "What a tiring day" he whispered with his forearm covering his eyes.
Vani walked down the stairs upon hearing the door close loudly and was met with an energy-drained twenty five year old man resting on his couch with a lax body expression. "You're here" he tried to alleviate his mood by speaking in an enthusiastic manner but Rei's reply was—"I am too tired to even try to smile, gosh what a troublesome man!"
Vani sat on the couch and patted his head, "It must have been a hectic day seeing as you are so tired" his words were replied with a hum. "Don't worry, I believe you can adapt. Go upstairs, hm?"
Rei stood up sluggishly and dragged his body up the stairs and into his supposed room, not even a minute later, he was knocked out.
Vani smiled to himself. He could never imagine himself as an office worker, it was too much trouble, which was why he liked his perfectly booming job as a streamer. He was pretty famous and so his income was steady. At first, he tried to introduce playing to Rei but Rei's hand speed was too slow and he was not patient when playing, which often lead to him giving his head on a silver platter to the enemy. Another major problem was that he did not have any awareness of the game, they had to give up the idea because no one would come to watch him mess up in the game—or maybe they would, but his pride would never let him.

The Next Morning
This time Rei had actually woken up early. It was 6:24am when he woke up and he decided to wash up. As he was wearing his clothes he thought about the time he was meant to show up at work and remembered he hadn't read his big manual!
He immediately went to flip through it and saw that he as meant to show up for work at 6 am sharp! 'Isn't this abuse of the employer's power!?' He threw the paper away and shouted, "This doesn't make sense! Ugh, why? Why me?! This is so unfair!" and so he spent a out three minutes ranting and complaining about 'Kyle and his stupid business'
Vani was woken when a little blueberry entered his room to announce his departure. "Okay bye, see you tonight" he said in a hoarse morning voice as Rei waved and sped out the door.
Rei sheepishly walked into the large office on the 27th floor of the storey building. It was already 7:37am which undoubtedly meant he was late. Kyle sat at the table and shot him an uninterested cold stare before ignoring him. Rei stood for some time before going to walk around the office when he hadn't heard anything come out of Kyle's mouth. He looked here and there and was surprised to find that the office had a small kitchen and a bathroom attached to it. The kitchen was behind an ash coloured door and it had an island as well. Behind the island was a small bed with a lamp post next to it, the bathroom was in the room.
He quickly turned his head to look at Kyle in shock before looking back at the room. He asked, "Is this off limits?" Kyle shook his head without raising it up but Rei didn't bother with that. He walked into the room in awe and went to the kitchen, he saw some ingredients in the cabinet and his mind got drawn to a sentence he had read somewhere before—
'The door was the colour of rosewood and behind it sat a very handsome man of 182cm who had very sharp distinct features. His face seemed to be drawn by God himself with every single thing appropriately thought of and created accordingly. Sharp slender dark eyes under thick eyebrows accompanied by a high-bridge nose and plump lips. He also had a shallow dimple which was seen often when he talked, which repeatedly entranced people. Ella greeted the man with her head lowered and he spoke coldy to her, 'Why are you late?' she bit her lip and went ahed to tell her excuse—'
'He opened the door and her eyes widened. There was a whole room attached to the office with its own kitchen, bed and bathroom. He looked at her gently and said in a sweet voice, 'Lets sleep here for now, tomorrow we go back to our respective houses' she flushed—'
'Damn! I really am in a book!' he thought as he caressed the cooker. "Hey, make me something" he heard which made him snap out of his thoughts, "Hmm?...Oh yeah, okay"
He sneered and muttered under his breath, "I'm your cook too?" but surprisingly received a response, "Yes, you are, it's in the manual" He bit his lip hurriedly and just quietly looked through the cupboard for what he could possibly make.
