Kai remembered Ren as he tried to reconstruct the events of last night. 

She saved him.

I thought she was waving at me because she recognized me. But it was actually because I was crossing the street when I shouldn't have. The signal had been red for the longest time though and there were no cars at first when I tried to cross.

"Aaarghh.." Kai groaned, covering his face in embarrassment. And then he remembered Ren's body against his and how she fit perfectly into his arms. His heart racing, he calmed himself down and looked around the apartment.

That's when he first noticed the note stuck to the cup of coffee. It was from Ren. It said that he could have the breakfast that was on the table but that he shouldn't steal anything.

"Me? Steal anything?" Kai laughed. 

The next line threatened that his fingerprints and photo have been recorded and they will be sent to either the gangsters next door or to the police depending on the stolen goods.

Kai smiled. He was amused because there was really nothing worth stealing in the apartment. I could even count the pieces of furniture here by hand, Kai thought as he went through the items he could see in the living room. There was the couch he was sitting on, the small coffee table next to it with a rug underneath, and a projector that hung on the ceiling that was pointed at the blank white wall in front of him. The kitchen was not that big either, and there were no visible appliances on the counter.

I'm probably the most expensive thing in this apartment, Kai mused. 

After finishing the food and gulping down the coffee, Kai got up and got ready to leave. He wanted to write a thank-you note to Ren but then he thought of something better that he could do. 

Kai put down the pen and rushed to the door. That's when he saw a piece of paper that was pinned to it. Written on it was something like this:

Ren's goal: Own a home in 5 years

There were more notes scribbled at the bottom half of the page that described Ren's weekend routine, a system of how she was going to reach her goal, meal plans and more but Kai felt like he was uncovering a secret and stopped himself from reading the rest. Well, I guess I messed up her daily routine last night, he said to himself as he opened the door.

"Ren," he whispered her name again, smiling as he headed outside.
