Chai and Mek comes out of the cafe followed by Niran and Kiet.

Mek: I will go and patch up things with Atid.

Chai: Hmm

Mek: Are you coming with me?

Chai: No, I need to be somewhere else.

Mek: Okay

Mek looks at Niran and Kiet who are discussing something seriously.

Mek: Niran, I am going to Chanthara Technologies to meet Atid. Do you want a lift?

Niran: I..

Niran looks at Mek and then Kiet awkwardly.

Kiet: You go ahead. I am calling in sick.

Niran: Are you okay?

Kiet: Hmm. Just a bit exhausted. I didn't get proper sleep yesterday.

Niran: Oh okay. Then I will leave with PMek.

Kiet: Hmm. Bye

Mek and Niran leave for office, leaving behind Chai and Kiet.

Kiet looks Chai who is avoiding eye contact with him.

Kiet: PChai, I...

He does not respond and starts walking away from there without even looking back once. Kiet blinks back the tears that are forming in his eyes.

Kiet(in mind): I miss you PChai.

Kiet starts to walk away from there. He could hardly see the road as his vision was getting blurred by his tears. He kept on wiping his tears but they kept on coming. He kept walking unaware of his  surroundings or the people calling him. Suddenly someone pushed him harshly to the ground.  He groaned in pain as his elbow hit the sidewalk. He tried to get up but something heavy was holding him down. He turns his head and is shocked to see a familiar pair of eyes looking at him.

Kiet: PChai

Chai: What the hell is wrong with you? Why were you walking in the middle of the road? Are you trying to get yourself killed?

Kiet: P, I....

Chai: If this is your new tactic to gain my attention, then it is really a cheap trick to play.

Kiet felt a pang in his heart hearing Chai's words.

Kiet: You shouldn't have come and saved me if you knew it was a trick.

Chai: Well, forgive me for having a heart that want to help even the most heartless person in the world.

Chai spits out these words in anger and hatred. Kiet could no longer stay there while Chai berated him. He quickly pushes him off his body and gets back on his feet with great difficulty. He tries to walk away from there but hisses in pain as his ankle got twisted during the fall. He could feel Chai's gaze on him bit he didn't want to ask for any help from him. He slowly manages to take a few steps forward but loses footage and starts to fall forward when a sharp pain shoots up his ankle. He closes his eyes tight, waiting for his body to hit the ground face down. But he saved by a pair of arms wrapped around his waist securely. He is once again saved by Chai who prevented his hard fall by holding hhim. Chai then pulls him up so that he can stand upright.

Kiet: Thank you.

Chai does not say anything.

Kiet tries to walk away from there but is held back by the pair of arms still wrapped around his waist.

Kiet: PChai...

Before he could say anything, he is sweeped off his feet by a pair of strong arms. He links his arms securely around Chai's neck to balance himself. Chai starts walking forward carrying him in his arms.

Kiet: PChai, where are you taking me?

Chai does not say anything and keeps walking until he reaches his car. He opens the car door and gently places him on the seat.

Kiet: PChai...

Chai: Don't misunderstand my intentions. I am just helping you because your Aroon's friend. I will drop you at your dorm or wherever you are staying so that you don't end up hurting yourself more. Just do me a favor and don't talk to me.

Chai shuts the door and gets into the driver's seat.

Chai: Where do you stay?

Kiet gives the address which Chai feeds into his phone to get the direction. He then starts the engine and drives away from there.  The entire journey is filled with silence as both of them were lost in their thoughts. Chai stole glance at Kiet in between the journey but Kiet kept his face turned towards the window. Soon they reached Kiet's home. Chai gets out of the car and walks towards the passenger seat to help Kiet get out of the car. He opens the door.

Chai: Can you walk?

Kiet nods his head in Yes. He slowly puts his feet on the ground and tries to get up but hisses loud in pain as pressure gets applied on the twisted ankle. The next second he found himself in Chai's arms. He wraps his hand around Chai's neck for support and hides his head in the crook of his neck. Chai inhales sharply on feeling his hot breath on his neck. He composes himself and starts walking towards the house but stops midway as he felt his shirt getting wet with tears flowing down Kiet's eyes.

Chai: Kiet, does it hurt badly? Do you want to see a doctor?

Kiet shakes his head in no.

Chai: Then why are you crying.

Kiet: I....I miss you PChai.

Chai's breathe hitches and he tightens his hold on the only person he has ever loved in his entire life.

Chai: Kiet
