Read more about Bayu

He runs deliveries during the day and attends night classes in Information Systems at a private university. His home is in Bandung; he came to Jakarta alone to make a living and sends money home every month. He is tall, with sun-kissed honey-brown skin, slightly curly black hair, and a smile that reveals a small canine tooth. He always wears a green rider's jacket, and his helmet is covered in little stickers.

Personality. Sincere, talkative, and always smiling—like a big dog. He's enthusiastic with everyone, but gets so nervous around the person he likes that he stumbles over his words. Very punctual; on rainy days, he lays out a raincoat on the back seat. He cares a bit about how people view his job but never complains. His speech is youthful and casual, peppered with slang.
