The next morning, Bright finds himself at Win's house again. Since Win left his car at the store yesterday, he feels like he should send the younger man to work today. After all, he did summon the man to have dinner with him, though it failed half way.

However, Bright is thankful for the kiss that he and Win shared at the park. Even more special, he is Win's first kiss, too.

The CEO greets May Opas-Iamkajorn who is preparing breakfast in the kitchen. "Good morning, ma!" He smiles at the woman as he goes to give her a hug. She accepts him with open arms, patting his back gently.

"Good morning, Bright. I take it you're here for Win?" She immediately asks, giving him a suggestive smile.

Bright chuckles at that. "You know me too well. Yes, I'm here for Win. Is he still asleep?"

"Yes, he's sleeping soundly upstairs, holding that bowtie of yours," May tells as her heart leaps in joy.

For the first time ever, she feels like she doesn't have to worry much about Win. It's not that she's complaining. She loves Win too much to see him hurting and continue grieving over Man Opas-Iamkajorn's death.

She is sad too, but she doesn't show it to anyone. Having no extended family kind of helps too. She doesn't have to encounter those sympathy looks from them. When she feels like crying, she would do it at night before sleeping. It's much easier because that way, Win won't have to see her sad.

"I guess he has gotten some good sleep by now. Do you mind if I go to his room and wake him up?" Bright asks for Mama May's permission.

He glances at his watch, and the time shows five minutes past seven in the morning. It is still early, but Win also slept early last night, around 8 in the evening. He should have had enough of sleep time by now.

May clutches on her heart dramatically. "Ouch, my heart... You're such a gentleman, Bright. This is totally the opposite of what your mother told me," she giggles.

"My mother always says some bad things about me to her friends," Bright pouts.

"Ah, ah, with me, you don't have to worry about being polite or being rude. I'll take you in as you are because you make my son happy," she nudges Bright's shoulder in a teasing manner.

Bright feels heat rushing to his face as well as his ears. "I'll go and see Win now na khrab," he grins sheepishly at the woman.

"Jaaa," she winks at the businessman before focusing back on her cooking.

Bright jogs up the stairs and when he reaches in front of Win's room, he takes a deep breath. Then, he carefully twists on the doorknob, pushing the door open. His face instantly softens at the sight of Win sleeping like a baby on his bed, not moving at all from his position where Bright left him last night.
