---That morning, Yeo woke up late in Rocky's bed. It's almost lunch time. He stepped out of the room, rubbing his eyes. The twins, AG and Blake are already up.
Taylor: 'Morning bro.
Yeo: Morning.
---He grabbed some water from the fridge. After drinking.
AG: (preparing lunch) Hey. Finally had a heart-to-heart talk with Rock?
Yeo: (nods) Sort of. (sits and sighs)
Blake: (pours him some coffee) Hangover remedy.
Yeo: (smiles) Thanks man. (sips coffee) Hey um, anybody seen Rock? Was she out early?
Max: Nope. I was the first one to get up and I haven't seen her.
AG: Syd's not in our room, too so. (shrugs)
Blake: Well I guess they finally decided to talk-
---And then Syd comes in, bringing some groceries.
Blake: -or not? (drinks juice) Hey man, let me help you with those.
Syd: Thanks.
---He locked eyes with Yeo so he's got no escape.
Syd: Um, 'morning man.
---Yeo just nods. A few moments later, at the balcony. The two had a man-to-man talk. Syd explained why he was in Carrie's place and that he already decided to end things with Carrie. Though he's well aware of the fact that he shouldn't have included Rocky in the equation while he and Carrie didn't have any closure yet. He admitted that he already fell for Rocky - so much that he ended up feeling so afraid of loving someone so much again and getting hurt in the end. And then he realized he just got so stuck at the moment, not knowing what to do.
Syd: I know you're not the right person whom I owe an apology but still...I'm sorry. I'm so sorry for hurting your sister.
---Yeo sips his coffee.
Yeo: (sighs) I'm sorry, too. I shouldn't have intervened. I was on a real emotional high with what happened between me and Michelle, and I ended up losing it when Carrie told me about you guys. Anyway, I think you should just try and talk to Rocky. 'Coz to tell you honestly, she's very, very, very hurt right now.
Syd: (nods) I know, I know. (sighs) And I deserve this very painful heartbreak should she decide to end things between us.
---They waited for Rocky to come back that day, but there's still no sign of Rocky at 8PM. She's not responding to their texts nor answering their calls. Until around 10PM, Yeo received a message from Rocky. She said she's joining their company's Christmas Camp - their quarantine version of Christmas Party for this year. They're going to a nice camping site and will be back on the 24th.
Blake: Really? I thought she didn't want to go to that camp.
Max: (reading a magazine) But can you blame her?
---Taylor hits his tummy because Syd is in the kitchen.
Max: Ow! (sighs) Sorry.
Rain: Aww, I hope she comes home before our Christmas Eve party tomorrow.
Taylor: Oh she'll definitely be back by then.
---Suddenly, AG steps out of Rocky's room because he's looking for a hard disk that he may have left in one of the drawers.
AG: Or not.
---They all turned their heads on AG.
AG: I was just in her room, looking for my hard drives and I noticed something was missing beside her closet - her luggage. So I checked her closet, and most of her stuff was gone.
