6:29 am.

"Ah! I beat the clock again!"

Takeru sighed before pressing the snooze button of his clock. For some reason, he has never been woken up by the sound of the alarm clock no matter how early the time is set and it’s been bugging him since his middle school years. ‘This is what they call body clock, isn’t it, the boy just realized. After he finished cleaning up his bed and doing his daily morning stretches, Takeru felt a smile etched upon his face as he felt energized and ready to go. However, as soon as Takeru took a step out of his room, he was welcomed by a bunch of junk food wrappers, bottles of half-drank wine, and even a white lacy bra which were all scattered around the floor.

Instead of freaking out or at least be surprised by the amount of garbage in the hallway, Takeru merely went to the kitchen and grabbed a huge, black, garbage bag and started cleaning up the hallway until it was sparkling clean and free from dirt. Seriously, though, what happened here? It’s impossible that Takeru’s dad would do a get-together with his workmates, considering his work schedule. Plus, even if they did have a get-together, the hallway wouldn’t be that messy. So, it leaves him with but one conclusion:

Mom must have been eating chips and drinking wine during the night. Geez, even after making a deal to eat only one pack of chips per day and only a bottle of wine per week. That’s really bad for the health! Sheesh…I guess I’ll have no choice but to ask father to reduce the amount of junk food and wine we’ll buy.

And with that decision, Takeru carried the trash bag outside and threw it inside the big yellow trash bin. Seeing as the sun was just about to rise, Takeru realized that he still had time for a short run. Mornings wouldn’t just feel right for him if he didn’t. After changing into his sneakers and locking up the gate of their house, Takeru went for a jogging session around the town. As he did, he politely greeted a few people that he passed by with a smile. He ran around and passed by his old school, his new college, and a few of his classmates and friends’ houses.

After jogging for about 20 minutes, Takeru headed back to the house. Surprised as his mother hasn’t woken up yet even after he’s returned, Takeru decided to take a bath. Afterwards, he went to the kitchen to cook breakfast for himself and his mother.
