"Heart, please... look at me."
"Li... Liming."
"Please, don't speak anymore."
"I... love you."
.......
"No."
In the dark room, a boy who was supposed to be sleeping peacefully suddenly woke up, breathing heavily, almost gasping.
"That... dream again...
"Heart... Are you still awake?" Li Ming asked Heart, who was facing away from him. Li Ming lightly tapped Heart's back.
"*Turn around*... *What's on your mind?*" Heart asked Li Ming.
"*I can't sleep*... *I'm just thinking about our upcoming flight to America*... *It's only two days away,*" Li Ming said to Heart.
"*Then*... *let's keep talking,*" Heart said, smiling softly at Li Ming.
"*So, what do you want to talk about?*" Li Ming asked Heart.
"*How about... what are your plans when we arrive in America?*" Heart asked Li Ming.
"*Well, first, I will enroll in college... and second, I will apply as a bartender when I have the time for it,*" Li Ming said, chuckling.
The first person he told about his desire to try bartending in another country was his P'Wen, but at that time, he was not sure about traveling abroad. Now, he confidently shared his plans with Heart, who only smiled at him, seeing how excited Li Ming was about his aspirations.
"*And what about you, Heart? What are your plans?*" Li Ming asked, looking at Heart.
"*Same as you... enrolling in college, graduating with you,*" Heart said, gazing gently at Li Ming.
"*Then we can tour other places... with our own money,*" Li Ming said, chuckling and looking at Heart.
"*Promise me, Heart... that we can be together until the end,*" Li Ming said, holding Heart's hand.
"*Promise,*" Heart said softly, smiling.
When morning came, Heart was the first to wake up. He saw his boyfriend still sleeping peacefully, having stayed up late talking to Heart even after Heart had fallen asleep.
Heart gazed at Li Ming for a long time, unsure of why but feeling that it might be the last time he could look at his lover so intently.
