Kongpob picked up his packed bags, taking a second to scan over the room before heading to the door. Before he made it all the way there he stopped, turning back one more time to take a few pictures of the room with his phone. Just so he can always see what this room that is so important to him looks like.

Finally ready, he walks once again to the exit, turning off the lights and closing the door behind him. Leaving his and Arthit's room.

Arthit, at work, was sitting at the table he previously met P'Yong at. The difference is last time this spot was where he was the most excited, now it is where he is the most heartbroken.

P'Yong walks up behind Arthit, noticing his mind is elsewhere Yong waves his hands a few times in front of Arthit's eyes and snaps his fingers.

This action makes Arthit break his gaze, acknowledging P'Yong.

"What are you thinking of?"

"Nothing." Arthit responds simply, putting a smile on his face.

"Get up." Yong pats Arthit's back a few times "The break is nearly over, let's get back to work."

Arthit sit's up making sure to take his pink milk with him and follows Yong back with heavy feet inside to work.

--------------------

After work, Arthit makes his way back to their building, up to their room. He opens the door to a dark room, closing the door and turning the lights on behind him.

He walks in, scanning his room. It's much more empty than how it was left by Arthit. The desk is much cleaner and the bed much lonelier.

One thing that was actually added and not taken was a sticky note left by Kongpob 'Don't forget to see me off at the airport'. He carefully puts the note back where it was left and takes a seat on the bed.

His head hangs low for a second before looking over to their little table near the window. He can almost still see Kongpob picking up the dishes, looking lovingly to him.

His eyes move to the desk, there is Kongpob working but not really. In reality he is subtly flirting with him with a wink, but as fast as he came Kongpob is gone.

Arthit lets himself fall back onto the bed, merely staring up to the ceiling. His thoughts were running wild in his head, he just wanted them to stop for a moment, but Kongpob never left his mind...

Arthit's eyes opened the next morning, head turning beside him to the empty bed, just his phone in the spot beside him to keep him company.

The phone started to ring, Kongpob's name written on its screen. He picks the phone up, slowly sitting himself up in bed. He just looks at the screen for a moment letting out a small sigh before putting the phone to his ear.

"Have you woken up yet?" Kongpob's voice in Arthit's ears feels bittersweet.

"I have... what about you?"

"I have been up for a while now. I need to go out and hand over the document today. Don't forget to eat something before going to work."

Arthit let's out a small laugh and a smirk at this. Very typical Kongpob trying to take good care of Arthit. "Got it sir." Arthit plays back. "Listen, I can take care of myself. I'm not a child you know?" Arthit's tone was artificially annoyed.

Kongpob let out a short laugh "P'Arthit krap."

Arthit get's nervous, hesitating for a second "Yes?"

"Can you come see me tonight?" Kongpob says quickly.

Arthit was sitting at a table with Prem, but Arthit wasn't really there. His mind was somewhere else, as it always seems to be recently.
