"Okay in 1 hour we will post this to the public," I said and gave my order to the media team. I didn't hear the whole song again because I'm too busy to do it so I asked Rays to do the final check.

"How was it?" I asked Rays while we are walking fast in our hallway and we are on the way to the lounge where all of the involved staff is watching their work.

"It was really good. I didn't expect you will do it like that! Anyways, wait for the video." Rays said and when we finally arrived at the lounge, all of them is already there and waiting.

"PD, let's eat!" 

"Thank you." I sat down and Rays sat beside me. We are sitting on the couch and eating a slice of pizza. "Standby, 30 minutes left." 

While we are waiting for our project to release, we even played a little game so that we didn't get bored. After we play, the bosses already arrived with Timothy. We were all so quiet when they arrived.

I took a deep breath when the video already started. First, it is just an introduction and after a few seconds, the music started to play. They even make a music video without me knowing.

"I'm in my bed and you're not here... And there's no one to blame but the drink in my wandering hands." Timothy sang and when I heard the final outcome, It brings back all of our memories.

"Forget what I said, It's not what I meant and I can't take it back, I can't unpack the baggage you left." From that, I started realizing that I left one of my luggage unpacked. And even the words he said before... I remember it.

"What am I now? What am I now? What if I'm someone I don't want around? I'm falling again, I'm falling again, I'm falling. What if I'm down? What if I'm out? What if I'm someone you won't talk about? I'm falling again, I'm falling again, I'm falling..." 

From that, I realized why he wants to sing this. From the day I left him and when the company started to disband because of the tight budget. He falls already without everyone knowing. 

"And I get the feeling that you'll never need me again..." That high note makes me realize that he knows that I will never need him again.

After the video, they all clapped and I stay still, still getting the message of the song. I go back to my senses when Rays squeezed my hand.

"Are you okay? Aren't you satisfied with your work?" Rays asked.

"No, I'm good." I shortly answered. The team planned to have an after-party but when they are still discussing it I left... I ran to my studio but when I get close to it I felt the presence of someone.

"Hey, are you good? Why did you leave?" Timothy asked while holding my wrist.
