As the sun peeked through the lacy white curtains, it couldn't resist playing a game of hide-and-seek with a certain beautiful face.

The rays of sunshine danced mischievously, trying to land on her nose, but Scar's sleepy expression made it a challenging task.

In her dreamy state, Scar stirred like a graceful sloth, her limbs tangled in the bedsheets like a professional contortionist. With one eye half-open, she clumsily reached for her phone, hoping it was still the crack of dawn.

But alas, the digital numbers mocked her with their bright red glow, displaying the dreaded time: 9:00 am.

A gasp escaped Scar's lips as she realized she had overslept, her heart pounding like a bongo drum.

With a swift kick, she launched herself out of bed, her hair looking like a wild bird's nest, and her pajamas looking like they had been attacked by a kitten.

In her rush, Scar stumbled over her own feet, performing an impromptu dance routine that would make even the most seasoned ballerina jealous.

    With a nonchalant and tired sigh, Scar continued to read through the schedule, occasionally murmuring under her breath. She couldn't help but feel the displeasure and satisfaction as she saw the long list of commitments Seb had made. On one hand, she was slightly annoyed that he seemed to have little time for anything else.
