Brown and Coco sat drinking for a while then split up and went to rest in their room. Only Mail and Gap's friends were left sitting and drinking.  Mail lay down on the lounge chair and listened to his friends chatting. The wind blowing on the roof along with the effect of the ingested drug caused Mail to feel sleepy

“Are you sleepy? ” Gap turned to ask when he saw Mail almost falling asleep.

“Hmm,” Mail replied from his throat but was forced to open his eyes.

"Will you go to sleep in your room first? In a little while, we will disperse as well,” Gap suggested because he wanted Mail to sleep comfortably.

"It's okay, let me just listen to what you guys are talking about here," replied Mail, so Gap got up and fetched some clothes and pillows from the room for Mail to support and cover himself.

“Take good care of him,” Dit teased. Gap smiled slightly. Mail didn't say anything. He immediately closed his eyes in order not to be teased further.

“Tomorrow, I'm going to ask you to take leave for Mail from the teacher for another day, Singh. I'll take him to the doctor and get a check-up, " Gap said, wanting Mail to rest for another day.

"Okay," Singh replied and continued to talk. Mail had already fallen asleep with Gap turning to look periodically. He kept him covered in the blanket all the time because he saw that the weather was quite cold.

“Gap, are you really serious with my friend?” Thit asked curiously.

“And what do you think?” Gap asked.

“I think you are quite serious about him," Singh was the one who spoke out. Gap turned to look slightly at Mail who was sound asleep.

“Seriously, don't ask me why this kind of thing comes to me. I have no way of knowing. I just know that I want to take care of him. I want him to be a part of my family,” Gap said as he thought. Singh and Thit turned to look at each other slightly but didn't say anything because they believed in what Gap said.  Dave said he would take Si home. So everyone agreed to return as well.

“You guys help me to put the stuff back in the kitchen too. I don't want Mom to complain too much. I'll see you guys off but first let me wake up Mail for a second,” said Gap, before his friends started to clean up.

“Mail, mail,” Gap gently shook his arm. Mail quietly opened his eyes.

“Go down to sleep in the room. These bastards are going back. I'll go down and send them off," Gap said in a normal tone. Mail nodded in acceptance before slowly pushing himself up to sit. Gap held collected the pillow and blankets and Mail down to his bedroom first. Mail instantly lay down on the mattress. Gap came back to help his friends and then went down to the front door of the house to see off.

"Go ahead, take care of Mail," said Singh, straddling his motorcycle.

"Well, you guys drive very well. Buk, you're so drunk, how will you go back?” Gap asked, seeing that Buk was more drunk than the others. Plus Dave has to deliver Si as well. And Dit's house was on a different path.

"I'll drive him myself," said Singh.

“Do you know his house?” Gap asked back, Singh nodded in acknowledgement.

"No, I'm not going with Singh. What am I going to do when you throw me away on the side of the road? I'm not so drunk that | don't know about it. I'm just not likely to be able to drive back by myself," Buk complained.

“What are you afraid of? Aren't you always good at fighting? Get on the bike and I'll drop you home. If you're slow, I'll change my mind and let you walk back by yourself," Singh shouted. Buk murmured some curses in his throat but went up to straddle the backseat of Singh's motorcycle anyway.
