In the morning, Wai banged Fuse's door loudly. Luckily his parents had already left for work. Fuse was never a morning person so he'd always wake up late.

“Wake up!“ Wai continued banging and banging till the workers of the house got fed up and gave him a spare key of the room.

The spare key was meant to be used for emergency purposes but oh well, this wasn't anything less than an emergency for Wai.

As soon as Wai opened the door, he removed Fuse's blanket and poured cold water on his face.

Fuse quickly got up and started coughing by the sudden shock of the cold water. He looked at Wai angrily.

“Wai! What do you think you're doing?!“ He asked with a loud voice.

Wai tsk-ed at his brother and said, “Phi! I'm going to meet Korn today and he said that he would be bringing his brother to meet me! I'm just here to ask if you'd like to meet my boyfriend as well!“

Fuse froze. Instantly, he forgot all his anger. “Korn is bringing his brother?“ He asked again, unsure if he really heard the right thing.

Wai annoyingly nodded. “Yes, he is bringing his brother. Do you want to come? I'm leaving soon,” He said.

Fuse got off of his bed quickly and ran towards the bathroom. “I'll be ready in a few minutes! Wait for me outside!“ He yelled.

Wai raised both his eyebrows in surprise. He didn't expect that Fuse would be so excited to meet Korn.

At Korn's place, it was just him and Aou with the servants. Both brothers were in their rooms, minding their own business.

After Korn told Wai about how he came out to his family and how Aou reacted, Wai came to a conclusion where he wanted to meet Aou.

So now, Korn is thinking of how to ask Aou to come with him. With heavy footsteps, he stood right in front of Aou's room and knocked.

“What?“ Aou asked as soon as he opened the door. He looked like he hasn't slept at all.

To be honest, Korn started feeling a bit guilty now but if he let his brother alone by himself, he would never take a rest.

“Aou, will you come with me to meet my boyfriend? He wants to meet you,” Korn asked with a bit of hesitation.

Aou blinked.
Once.
Twice.

Then he spoke up, “Your boyfriend…wants to meet me…?“ He asked in confusion. He even pointed at himself to be sure that Korn was talking about him.

Korn nodded and replied, “Yes, Aou! He wants to meet you!“ He said. To make his boyfriend more sure, he also pointed at Aou.

Aou turned his face back to his room and looked around at the mess he made with papers.

Maybe, he could use a bit of relaxation…

“Um, okay. I'll get ready in a bit then we'll leave? Is that okay with you?“ He asked Korn.

“Yes, I'll wait for you downstairs!“

Some moments later, Korn and Aou were finally going at their destination. Korn was the one driving, whereas Aou was in the passenger seat.

The cool air from the aircon and the soft seat made Aou felt asleep right away. Korn decided to put some gentle music for him. He knew that Aou hardly sleeps at home so…

In a few hours, Korn stopped the car in front of a cafe. He removed his seat belt and turned towards Aou to wake him up.

“Aou, Aou! We've arrived,” Korn said, shaking Aou from the shoulder.
