Korn drops Wai at the bar for his shift.

Korn: Should I pick you up later?

Wai: No. My shift's gone end late. I will take a cab.

Korn: Hmm. But call me once you reach  home.

Wai: Okay

Korn starts his bike after saying goodbye.

Wai: Korn

Korn turns to look at Wai.

Wai: Thank you.

Korn: Huh

Wai: Thank you for standing for me earlier today.

Korn: Wai, we may be fake boyfriends but our friendship is real. I will always be there when you need me.

Wai: Hmm

They bid goodbye and walks away from each other.

Wai's POV:

It was a hectic day in the bar but for some reason no one tried to mess with Wai or make fun of him. In between his shift, one drunk guy tried to approach him but soon someone took him away from there. He was not seen in the bar after that. When Wai took a closer look, he saw some Engineering juniors sitting there and having their drinks. Wai recognized one of them as the guy who took away the drunkard. He looked at Wai with a smile and raised his glass.

Wai: Shia..Korn

Wai now realized why no one approached him or created any problems. Korn had made sure that Wai was under the protection of Engineering gang and they were looking out for him.

Soon Wai finished his shift. He walked out of the bar to catch a cab. But was surprised to see Korn waiting for him.

Wai: Korn, what are you doing here?

Korn: I was bored and I missed you.

Wai: KORN

Korn: Okay...I was feeling uneasy thinking you would be going home alone. So I came to pick you up.

Wai: Korn, you can't be with me 24/7. We need to attend classes, exams and go for work.

Korn: I know but I am scared Wai.

Wai looks at him with raised eyebrows.

Korn: I am scared that the guy with the gun will come looking for you. I don't want anything to happen to you.

Wai holds Korn's hands and looks into his eyes.

Wai: Korn, I promise I will be more careful and I will try not to pick any fight with anyone. I will also call once I reach work or home.

Korn: Okay. But can I drop you home today?

Wai: Hmm

Wai gets on the bike and wraps his arms around Korn's waist. Korn starts his bike and drive off to Wai's dorm.

After that day they followed the same routine. Wai came to college on his own but Korn picked him up after class and dropped him at the bar or his dorm as per his schedule. By the end of that year, they became closer due to the problems that cropped up in PatPran's relationship because of their parents. They decided to break up officially while continuing their relationship behind everyone's back. Wai and Korn helped them to hide their relation from everyone. For anyone looking from outside,  it looked like the real couple broke up while the fake couple fell in love. Even their other friends thought Wai and Korn are actually dating each other. They never tried to correct them because it was a perfect cover for Pat and Pran to hang out together without suspicion.

Towards the end of 3rd year, Korn asked Wai to move in with him. Their dorm became the meeting place for Pat and Pran. Wai and Korn spend their time roaming around while Pat and Pran spend some romantic time in their dorm. This brought Wai and Korn closer as they spend a lot of time together. They learned each other's likes and dislikes and soon it felt like they were friends forever .

Soon they finished their college and graduated. Coincidentally Wai and Korn also started working together in a firm. They also brought a bar together which they ran after their office hours. Their bond had changed from enemies to friends with time. Their bond grew stronger with passing time and they thought nothing could break their bond. But as someone rightfully said "Expect the unexpected." Someone came to their life and threatened their bond.
