On the way back to the apartment from Cir's house, the two didn't say a single word, they just held each others hands, not planning to let go of each other.

Phugun holds Cir's hand and enters the elevator, goes up and back to the room, and still doesn't want to let him go.

"Are you tired?"

Cir asks as they sit on the couch. Phu smiles, leaning firmly against the other's chest. His face pressed against him, he listens to the rhythmic and powerful beating of his heart, he can feel how nervous Cir is.

"I'm not tired, P'Cir took care of Phu all those years, you should be the one who's tired."

"I'm not..."

"Don't lie."

Phugun suddenly interrupts him, and the one with the stiff expression is speechless.

"I just want to...do it, but it might have been too much."

Phugun doesn't know. If someone else had done it for him, he would have thought of a perverted stalker, but since he met P'Cir and fell in love with this person, he doesn't think Cir's behavior was excessive.

"Whenever Phu is missing something, is P'Cir the one who finds it for me?"

"Yes."

Hearing the response, Phugun buries his face in the other person's arms instead, angry at how stupid he was.

How many times did this boy help him, but he thought it was because of luck, so if one day he felt he was unlucky it wasn't because he was wearing the wrong color, but because P'Cir wasn't with him that day.

He was clumsy and forgetful, but his missing items always returned on their own!

"I know where Phu will leave his things because I keep watching Phu and I know what he likes to eat on a certain day. Every Thursday I ask the stall owner to help me prepare sweet boiled eggs for Phu, because I know Phu will eat them, I just want to take care of Phu, I know what I did was a bit too much, but I can't help it."

"Did you do anything else?" Phugun asks softly. Cir is silent for a while, then whispers again.

"I got hurt because of a thief who wanted to enter Phu's car to steal something."

"What?!"

P'Cir had injury in the head... cause of his car!

Cir was uncertain whether to tell Phugun, but when he looks into those eyes, he decides that he must tell everything, he no longer wants to hide anything from Phugun.

"Phu always forget to lock the car, doesn't he?"

The little boy is embarrassed, yes, sometimes he forgets it.

P'Cir continues to say... "Because I know that Phu always forgets things, I know where to put the things that Phu forgets. I've known this for a long time. There's an air gun in the front drawer of Phu's car, because I saw it when I went to get the folder Phu forgot in the car. I know it's not good, but if Phu forgets to lock the car, I will stand guard until I see Phu in the car again."

Phugun is speechless. He never knew that he had cared for him so much and that it had been going on for several years.

"That day I was just worried that Phu had forgotten to lock his car, suddenly a thief came and broke into the cars one by one. I was afraid he would steal Phu's car, so I rushed out, thinking the thief would run away, but it ended in a fight, and then I... just like what Phu knows."

After this, P'Cir went to the hospital, and then ran to him saying that he was from the parallel world.

"Why didn't P'Cir tell Phu immediately?"
