Zeno woke up during the day with a heavy head and dizziness, his body ached, especially his legs.
“Ugh... It hurts so much!” his weakness.
The boy did not want to get out of bed, he was just lying staring at the ceiling of the hotel room.
“I think I was too long on foot yesterday, if I wasn't stupid and received system help from the beginning...ah, you've already!”.
Zeno tried to get up, and he heard a knock on the door.
“Excuse me, can I come in?” it was the voice of Kevin yesterday, the one who claimed to be a hotel clerk but did not look like a hotel clerk. If the clerk is usually in uniform, but Kevin is not wearing a uniform, he is wearing a nice suit. Maybe his position is higher like a hotel manager. Zeno didn't really understand, but he allowed Kevin to come in.
Just entering, Kevin has brought food for Zeno, even though Zeno has not ordered anything.
“I haven't ordered any food” Zeno said.
Kevin chuckled softly, “I'm so worried because you haven't woken up yet, so I thought I should bring you some food, you must be hungry, do you have any complaints? For example your body hurts?” ask Kevin.
Zeno was confused as to why Kevin was so kind and so considerate. If all the employees were like Kevin, the hotel would be very successful.
“My body hurts all, especially my legs, sister!”
Kevin just smiled Zeno called him ‘kak’.
“Alright, after breakfast, I will take you to the spa, there is a massage for health as well kok” said Kevin.
“Do I have to pay?” ask Zeno.
Kevin shakes his head, “no need, it's free for people staying in hotels, you eat first huh? Are your parents coming to pick you up?”
Zeno flickered for a moment, afraid to answer him, should he answer honestly if he had no parents?
“I... don't have parents, brother, I'm alone now” Zeno said.
Kevin was silent, he hesitated to ask because they were not familiar and had only met one day. It would be very rude if Kevin tried to pry information about hotel visitors.
But according to Kevin, it could be Zeno's parents just died, he was expelled and then booked a place in the hotel with the money left. But there could be something else, too. Well, Kevin won't interfere.
“Ah, I don't want to interfere in your affairs, but... are you really alone? Don't have a guardian?” ask Kevin.
Zeno simply lowered his head, afraid to answer.
“How old are you?” ask Kevin again.
“It... 16 years, I just passed SMP.”
“Other friends?”
Zeno shook his head again, “aku from the orphanage sister, I'm here because I want to sell, but I ran away.”
“SELLED?”
Zeno gasped as Kevin shouted loudly.
“Iya, I want to be sold.. but I run away.”.
Kevin pinched his head which suddenly felt dizzy, he picked up a child who had no one, but could book a hotel.
“Don't tell me you spent your money to book a hotel.”
“Ti.. no really! I still have items for sale!”
“We talk about this later, now you eat, then I will come back to accompany you massage, I am not a bad person who will sell you anyway, so don't worry” said Kevin, after that he just left.
Zeno was so sorry, why didn't he just lie? Kevin seems to be thinking about Zeno's fate, but Zeno is not a problem even though he is alone. But as a minor, he must have a guardian.
Kevin seems like a good guy...
“There is no way he wants to be my guardian right, we foreigners” Zeno muttered.

Zeno came out of the spa with his eyes. He did not expect if it felt sick as it was taken a massage, even though after that he felt light and better.
“You are so happy, that time is so nangis” said Kevin.
“Kakak don't understand the taste! That hurts so much! I've never been incised all this time..”.
“Because now you're done, let's go to the cafe!”
“Cafe is what?”
Kevin scrunched his forehead, “seriously don't know what the cafe is? Where do you live there is no cafe? What corner of the world are you living in?”
Zeno was offended to hear it, but in retrospect, the home he lived in was indeed in the village, Zeno also rarely went to the city because it was far away. There are no cafes or restaurants around where Zeno lives, only food stalls.
“Rubber anyway, sister will not know!”
Zeno nodded, “have it!” then he pulled out his phone, “ini brother!”
Kevin is now much more astonished to see the latest expensive phone already in Zeno's hands.
“Why is Kevin's expression like that? I'm not surprised, I actually bought it! Even the box and the letters are in my room!”
“You have money?”
Zeno shook his head slowly, “gak got..”.
“Why not sell this phone and buy a cheaper phone? You need money, Zen. You now live alone, must be able to process your own money, this is also not in the village anymore, all here are very expensive, all of them are very expensive, then if you meet a bad person who has bad intentions how? You don't want to be sold again, do you?”
Zeno shook his head strongly, “no want!”
“Kalo so, you want to come with me? I could be your guardian for a while until you're old enough to go” Kevin said.
“Sister Kevin didn't bother?”
Kevin smiled then shook his head, “not really, I happen to live alone, but I am really busy anyway have to work, you take care of my home if I am not there.”
“I'm a maid for Kevin?”
“Hey, not a maid too, later there will be a house cleaner and cook kok.”
“Let me clean the house and cook, I do not feel good hitchhiking at people's homes without doing anything” Zeno said.
Kevin thought for a moment, if he only helped Zeno, that brat would definitely not feel good.
“Then, you can cook, but make clean house let others ya?”
“OK!”
Kevin invites Zeno to go to a cafe near the hotel, Zeno who is indeed a villager amazed by everything, but Kevin is not ashamed, he instead thinks Zeno is unique.
At the cafe, Zeno told him everything that happened, which was when he failed to get a scholarship, when Udin asked him to go to sell it to aunts, until Zeno who ran away and starved and fainted in front of the hotel.
Hearing all that, Kevin became more and more compassionate with Zeno, his decision to help Zeno more and more unanimous.
The next day, Kevin invites Zeno to stay at his house. Zeno who still thinks Kevin is an ordinary hotel employee, was amazed to see Kevin's luxury car. Especially when all the officers call Kevin it's young master.
Who is Kevin really?
Zeno had to be surprised when Kevin brought him to an elite housing, just right Kevin did not want to let Zeno clean the house even though Zeno had pleaded, it turned out that his house was very big.
There was another car as they came, then the door opened, showing a man of Kevin's age out carrying a large green wine.
“Vin, new come? Where the hell are you? In the agency building there is no, at home there is no, I findin you know, we have to design the song – dapet boy where Vin?” said the man.
Kevin then embraces Zeno, “from the hotel, I'm at the hotel two days today, tomorrow we work again the song, whether it's deadline when? Can't ask Travis or Jaden?” for help
“Heh, bego! This song for kpop boygroup, the lyrics must be Korean dong! They ask for the lyrics later if it can be so, I have to explain how many times?”
Zeno who was confused by their chat was just dumbstruck.
Looks like Kevin has other jobs besides hotel staff.
“That's right, let's go in first, oh yeah, Zeno, know this is my friend, Arthur.”
“Ha-hello!”
“Halo... let's go in first, want wine?”
Zeno did not agree to Arthur's question, he had been diced with wine.
“Enak!”
Kevin shows the room to Zeno, which is not much different from the hotel room.
“I want to talk to Arthur first, business affairs, you rest here first huh?”
Zeno nodded slowly.
After Kevin left, Zeno stared at the screen of his system.
There's a notification.
(Make good to get the balance!)
(Go to the kitchen and cook something for starving Kevin and Arthur.)
(Cooking for others will get a balance of 1,000,000)
Zeno scrunched his forehead, “they starve?”
