<< OFF >>

I had to carry Gun to the car since he was deep in his sleep by the time we finished. The shoot took longer than expected. If I knew Krist would pull this stunt then I would've just brought the van with me instead.

The entire time there was a break, I could hear everyone's mind teasing me. Everyone's been noticing how protective I was over Gun. To my defense, he's my roommmate and he's also injured. Right, I'm just being a responsible P to my Nong.... Wait... "My Nong"? Off, get your act together! You're lucky Gun can't read your mind. Else, he'll make a mountain out of a molehill. I looked at Gun, who was sitting in the front passenger's seat.

"P'Off?" Singto called my attention. He's wonndering why we haven't left yet. He was sitting behind Gun.

"Yes?" I asked as I started the car.

"Nothing. I thought something was bothering you." He admitted.

"If you're tired, just go ahead and sleep. I can manage staying up by myself." I said as I pulled out of the parking.

"It's alright, P. I can accompany you on the ride." he said. "I'm sorry for what Krist did."

"What do you mean?"

"He was the one who called P'Gun over. We were worried about you but no one knew how to approach you." He said defensively.

"I appreciate your concern but you know Gun is injured. Moving around is tricky for him." I pointed out. "I hope there won't be a next time."

"Krap." he sounded defeated.

"I understand that everyone has good intentions. Thank you, really." I meant it. I don't want him beating himself up over something that wasn't his fault.

The rest of the trip was quiet even though Singto stayed awake. When we arrived at the condo, both Krist and Gun were still sleeping.

"Krist, wake up. We're here." Singto nudged him softly but the other guy won't budge.

"Can you manage him by yourself?" I asked Singto. "Because I'd have to carry Gun." The little guy seems to be oblivious to everything around him.

Singto let out a heavy sigh before asking, "Could you help me put him on my back, P?"

I nodded while holding back a snicker. I have to admit he has his hands full as Krist is a much bigger person to carry as opposed to Gun. Oh well, I guess he'll make good use of his daily workout.

We somehow managed put Krist on Singto's back. Picking up Gun was an easier task as the guy was as light as a feather. I was also able to carry his stuff and mine. I carried him infront of me, making sure his head rested on my chest.

Singto was extremely thankful for the elevator to arrive quicker than normal. He let out a sigh of relief when we entered the dorm.

"Are you alright, Singto?" I asked as I closed the door behind me.

"Krap." he struggled to say but still managed to reach their room safely.

After putting Gun on his bed, Singto knocked on our door. "P'Off..."

"Come in." I said.

"Can I borrow your car keys? I'll just get the bags at the back." he asked as he went in.

I handed him the keys. "You can get them now or leave them for later. It's getting late."

"It's alright, P. Krist is rather picky with his stuff. He doesn'twant to leave his dirty clothes stored up for a long time." Singto explained.
