Since it's already the end of the year, the music app I use produces a report on the songs I've listened to in 2025. The keyword of my report is "resonance". Over the year, I don't spend much time listening to the songs on this app. My girlfriend, Sienna Fletcher, is the one who's been using my account this whole time. There's a row beneath the keyword that's written in a tiny font. "You had listened to this song with someone at 4:00 am on December 1st. It turns out that love can go beyond a night's sleep." My breath gets hitched in my throat. December 1st is my birthday. But that night, I had gone to bed at an early hour. Meanwhile, Sienna had left hurriedly after cutting my birthday cake with me with the excuse that she needed to pull an overnight shift at the company. For some reason, I tap onto the unfamiliar-looking profile that has been interacting frequently with my account with a trembling finger. Their keyword of the year is "favor". My heart skips a beat at the sight. Then, I tap on the details. "Over the year, you've listened to songs with this user 688 times in the middle of the night. Every time you do, it's a secretive conversation meant for your souls." The next thing I know, I receive a message from Sienna. "Babe, I need to work overtime tonight again. You don't have to wait up for me. Just go to bed early." At the same time, a new post is uploaded on the unfamiliar profile. It features a photo of two hands that are intertwined together. "I love working overtime with her the most. I want to listen to songs with her forever."

Five minutes before the graduate admission exam began, the campus heartthrob quietly slipped a crumpled piece of paper into my pencil case. Lines of floating text drifted across my vision. [The paper is filled with answers. The school heartthrob has reported it, and the proctor will be here any second!] [As long as they find it, his admission slot will be canceled immediately!] [Serves this bookworm right for standing in our heartthrob’s way. The proctor is his aunt. He’s doomed today!] The next second, the proctor stormed into the classroom and headed straight for my seat. “Someone has reported you for cheating,” she said sharply. “Empty your pencil case. We’re checking it.” Without a word, I turned the case upside down. A few pens fell onto the desk, but there was no paper. The campus heartthrob’s eyes widened in disbelief. “How is that possible? I–” Before he could finish, a slip of paper covered in answers slid out of his own pocket and dropped onto the floor. What they didn’t know was that I was born with a weird power called “Misfortune Rebound.” Anyone who tried to harm me would end up suffering the consequences themselves.

I worked overtime until the early morning hours and called my driver to pick me up. She frowned the entire ride. "You go home so late every night, and you always have me pick you up. You have no consideration for others." I found her comment baffling. "Wasn't all of this made clear when I hired you? The job requires you to be available at all times, and your salary is generous." "What exactly are you trying to say?" Chloe Morrison's tone turned reproachful and condescending. "I'm concerned about you, obviously. What good man goes home at dawn every day? You're probably fooling around outside. A man should conduct himself properly. You should get off work earlier and go home to do housework and cook. That's how you win a girl over." Her words irritated me, and my tone turned sharp. "Ms. Morrison, you're just a driver. You're not anyone to me. Don't overstep."

"Aku tidak sabar merasakanmu lagi di dalam sana, Bang Ucup... punyamu itu... benar-benar membuatku gila." Hidup Ucup, seorang kuli bangunan sederhana, berubah kacau dalam satu malam. Terhimpit masalah uang demi menyekolahkan anaknya di kampung, ia menerima tawaran aneh dari Arif, teman masa kecilnya: menggantikan dirinya menjalani malam pertama dengan istri barunya. Menurut Arif, istrinya hanyalah “tante-tante perawan tua yang galau dan tak laku.” Namun saat Ucup datang, semua bayangannya runtuh. Wanita yang berdiri di hadapannya bukanlah tante-tante seperti yang ia bayangkan—melainkan seorang wanita cantik, seksi, dan memikat… yang sama sekali tidak terlihat tua. Malam yang seharusnya hanya menjadi transaksi sederhana justru berubah menjadi awal dari kekacauan, pertengkaran kocak, rahasia besar, dan perasaan yang tak seharusnya muncul. Di antara tamparan, kesalahpahaman, dan hati yang mulai goyah… siapa sebenarnya yang akan jatuh lebih dulu? Ketika seorang kuli bangunan bertemu “tante-tante” yang ternyata terlalu memikat untuk diabaikan, malam pertama itu berubah menjadi awal cerita yang tak pernah mereka bayangkan.
