Krist was standing at the edge of the Rama bridge to end his miserable life during midnight. The pain was unbearable for his poor heart that was bleeding. He was about to jump off the edge when he heard his friend Knot screaming out loud while running towards him. Knot pulled him away from the bridge while panting hard and dragged him forcefully. Krist has no energy left to protest so he lifelessly follows Knot.

Knot took Krist to his dorm. He started bombarding questions on Krist for his stupid behavior and the reason he decided to go for a suicide mission. Krist had nothing left to tell, so he just silently cried with his head hung low. Knot sighed and grabbed Krist for a hug. He felt bad seeing his friend wailing like a child. They have been friends since high school, but he never saw Krist in such a weak state.

Knot was able to calm Krist and ask him to freshen up to which the latter nodded. After a few minutes, they both settle down when Knot opens the conversation saying that he is going to inform P'Forth that he found Krist. Krist shouts out loud and stops Knot from calling while Knot is frozen at his seat seeing Krist in anger.

Krist warns Knot that he will leave in a second if he calls Forth or anyone. Knot assure him that he won't do it and keep his phone aside. He pleads with Krist to calm down and sit. Knot tells Krist that the crazy doc gang and engineering gang along with his family has been looking for him for many hours.

Knot tries to explain that everyone is worried about his disappearance, but shuts up on seeing Krist's glare with teary eyes. He gets some food from the fridge and feeds Krist who looks very pained and tired. Knot asks Krist with a low voice if he can call his friends but Krist shakes his head no. Knot sighs knowing that there is no way to convince Krist, so he just waits for Krist to calm down.

Seeing him a bit relaxed and calm after eating, Knot tells Krist that P'Forth and P'Sing have been searching him like a madman all over the city. Krist asks him how he was able to find him with furrowed brows as he didn't even know that Krist is missing.

Knot tells him that he came back from home this morning and P'Forth came to his dorm a few hours ago while looking for Krist and told him about it. The moment he left dejectedly, Knot started looking for him at all their secret hideouts and other places where Krist went to find peace and comfort and finally saw him at Rama bridge.

Krist nods in understanding and sobs silently. Knot tells him that he knows Krist is not a weak person to take such a step, but he won't force him to confess everything. He can take time while resting in his dorm. Knot promises krist that he won't tell anyone about him until krist wants it as he is a loyal friend much to krist's relief.

Knot suggests him to sleep seeing the time and his state. They both lie down in silence and fall into deep sleep. Next morning, Krist wakes up with some noises. He wakes up and sees Knot making breakfast in the kitchen. He greets him in the morning and leaves to freshen up. They both eat dinner silently while Knot asks Krist about his health to which Krist nods a little in reassurance.

Knot reminds Krist that they can laze around all day as it is Sunday. Krist fidget at his place not knowing what to do when Knot notices it and reassure that he won't question him like yesterday and will wait for him to open his mouth. Krist helps knot cleaning the dishes and join him to watch a movie after much pleading.

Throughout the movie, Knot saw Krist being lost in his thoughts with misty eyes. He knows that his friend doesn't even know when the movie ended. He pats him bringing back to reality while Krist wipe off the tears from his eyes before they fall. Knot is scared at the inside seeing Krist's behavior especially after the suicide stunt his friend pulled yesterday. His mind is going crazy with bad thoughts, but he doesn't want to hurt Krist by bombarding him with questions or snitching at him and calling his family.

Seeing Knot being stressed and in a turmoil. Krist reassures him that he is fine and won't repeat the mistake again, but Knot still feels stressed seeing the fake smile on Krist's face. Whole day, they both try to forget past events and laze around, but by the evening Knot loses his patience and pleads with Krist to tell him his problem as his mind is going crazy with all the bad thoughts.

Krist sighs knowing how hard it is for Knot to stay silent after seeing his state. He knows how his friend's mind is making different scenarios that are scaring him. He thinks for a while and asks Knot to promise that he will keep his secret safe. Knot nods like a loyal puppy while Krist takes a deep breath before starting his story.

Knot promises Krist that he can trust him for keeping his secret safe. He has no patience left to wait further. His mind has been replaying Krist's suicidal image in front of him. He swears to Krist that he won't even open his mouth to tew, his bf so that Krist can trust him enough to share his pain. His heart also hurts seeing his friend's misery.

Krist knows that he can share anything with Knot blindly as he stood by his side since the beginning. He knows that he owns an explanation for his act and at the same time he can't lie to the person who literally saved his life when he himself was weak enough to do so. He takes a deep breath and requests him to listen silently and not question anything. Knot nods and gives his full attention to whatever Krist is going to say. His thumping heart takes a small relieved sigh while Krist start talking.
