I dreamed.

As I opened my eyes to see a clearer version of my view, the ray of sunlight welcomed my knackered existence. Everything seems to be blurry at first but then, I began to gently rub my eyes to ease my vague environment.

When realization suddenly hits my senses, I Immediately scanned my surroundings, just for me to discover that Build and I were still in the hotel. Although it confuses me that he isn't on my side.

Wearing the slippers that the hotel offered, I opened the window of our room, and the sight of the beach directly welcomed my sleepy figure. The sun directly passed through my eyes and it almost made me blind. Fortunately, my hands were faster to cooperate.

But for now, my priority was finding Build and his whereabouts. As always, he didn't even disturb me in my sleep and casually walked outside the beach whenever he wanted and craved too. I felt downhearted, but it doesn't mean that I'm furious about his actions. I'm just his typical friend who seems to be worried about him.

A mere friend.

Leaving the building, my instincts were telling me that a tragic incident might happen. Sometimes, I don't trust my guts since it always brought me an unfortunate fate. And lucky fate was clearly rare. I never doubted my thoughts ever since, although now, the feeling was quite unfamiliar. It was suffocating me inside my chest. The ambience of my settings was undoubtedly lively but that doesn't mean nothing awful had happened.

Fuck, where is Build?

I decided to roam around the beach, hoping to find Jakapan around the area. It didn't cost me much energy, despite my brain being anxious, I tend to stay calm. Calmness was a virtue. Roaming around the beach for almost decades, Build was nowhere to be found. He was-fuck!

Where is he?!

Since my patience was exactly running out of calmness, I decided to ask the receptionist. I asked her about the person named ' Build Jakapan Puttha ', hoping to confirm if Build really checked out without me. Without me and he's checked out already? It hurts a little...

But first, let's not jump to conclusions and stay positive. He might be lurking somehow that I've missed while finding him.

" Sir, Mr. Jakapan hasn't checked out yet " Says the receptionist, which I Immediately take without even waiting for her reply.

That's a relief.

Which means-he's still here at the hotel!

" But sir!" It may sounds rude that I immediately left without even waiting for her reply, though my top priority was finding my friend.

" It's because there's no Jakapan that was listed on every room! "

Huh?! Did I just hear it right? Why do people keep thinking that Build didn't even exist when he's literally a tail whenever he's with me? What's wrong with them?

People always treat him like he's fucking invisible, rather a person without feelings. But for fuck sake, Build is also a human with a heart and feelings. I despise them. God knows how much grudge that I hold whenever someone hurts my friend. Build. My man. Colleague.
