"Krub..Uncle..All my stuff is here in my bag..Krub Uncle...you keep repeating what you say..I know..I know..," Li Ming, who was talking to his uncle through the phone, became impatient with his uncle's nagging. However, Li Ming knew his uncle was just too worried about him.

"*Who is it..Li Ming*?" Heart asked while walking towards the passenger waiting area.

They were at the airport now, waiting for their flight to be announced. Even though they had only left their house a few hours ago, Jim kept calling Li Ming every minute just to make sure they had arrived safely.

"*It's Uncle Jim... I only left a few hours ago and he already misses me,*" Li Ming said, shaking his head at his uncle's actions.

"Our flight is still two hours away... *Heart, I will only buy drinks*... *You stay here,*" Li Ming said, standing up to buy their drinks.

"Phi...Krub..2 waters, krub," Li Ming said to the vendor selling drinks. Suddenly, he heard people yelling while waiting for his drinks.

"Here you go, nong," the vendor said, handing over the drinks.

"Ahh..Thank you, Phi," Li Ming said while walking away.

"Ouch," Li Ming exclaimed when a man accidentally pushed him.

"Ohh... Sorry, Nong... I didn't look where I was going because I was in a panic," said the man who bumped into Li Ming.

"It's okay, Phi... By the way, Phi... Why are people yelling and running about?" Li Ming asked, confused by the commotion.

"Ahh... It's because of that crazy person who was illegally shooting a gun in the airport. Luckily, before I entered, I heard the gun sho-... Ai'Nong, where are you going? Don't go there... That kid doesn't seem to care about his life anymore," the man said, also concerned.

Li Ming didn't hear the end of the man's story because Heart was waiting for him, causing him to drop the drinks he had bought.

"Shia... Heart... Answer the phone," Li Ming said, panicking among the crowded people. He couldn't easily pass through the crowd as people were pushing each other in a panic.

"HEART... HEART," Li Ming yelled among the crowd.

Even though Li Ming knew Heart couldn't hear him, he continued calling out Heart's name.

"HEART... Shia... Heart, there you are," Li Ming said, holding Heart's shoulder tightly.

"Heart... Why didn't you answer your phone? Why?" Li Ming asked hurriedly, even though he knew Heart couldn't hear him. However, Heart understood what Li Ming was upset about.

"*I lost my... phone,*" Heart said, looking at Li Ming.

Bang!

Suddenly, there was a loud gunshot at the airport, causing panic as people started to sit down, including Heart and Li Ming.

"*Let's talk later*... *Let's hide first,*" Li Ming said, hurriedly pulling Heart.

"I think this place is safe for now," Li Ming said in a quiet voice as they hid inside an old restroom.

"*Heart... Sorry for getting angry at you earlier*... Heart... *Are you okay?*... Heart... YOU'RE BLEEDING," Li Ming said in a shocked and trembling voice. The reason Heart was slower than usual was that the wound in his body made him weak. Li Ming didn't notice this because he thought Heart was intentionally walking carefully to avoid making noise.

"Wh... Why didn't you tell me? Let's stop the bleeding first," Li Ming said, trembling and shaking while applying pressure to Heart's wound.

"*Li Ming... I'm okay,*" Heart reassured him.

"*No, you're not*... *I will call Uncle Jim to get us rescued,*" Li Ming said, trying to open his phone, only to find that the battery had run out.

"Shia... Why now," Li Ming said, frustrated.

"*Don't worry, Heart*... *I know Uncle Jim will hear about this later*... *He will call for help to rescue us,*" Li Ming said, touching Heart's face gently with his other hand.

However, despite waiting for hours, the gunshots continued, and Uncle Jim, whom they were waiting for, never arrived.

"That's Uncle Jim... Is he a turtle or what? Why is he so slow?" Li Ming said impatiently to his uncle.

"Li... Ming," Heart weakly called out.

"Heart... *How are you feeling right now?*" Li Ming asked, worriedly, as Heart lay in his arms, turning pale from losing too much blood.

"Li Ming."

"Heart... *Don't worry, Uncle Jim will arrive*... *Be patient, okay,*" Li Ming said, smiling at Heart. However, his eyes betrayed him as they filled with tears.

"Heart... Please... look at me," Li Ming said, unable to hold back his tears any longer.

"Li... Li Ming..."

"Please... Don't speak anymore."

Heart weakly smiled at him.

"I... I love you..."

And those were the last words Heart said before closing his eyes...
