New opens his eyes as he wakes up from his deep slumber, with tears rolling down his eyes as he recalls back the dream he had, the story Dew told him how he first saw him.

He looks up at the dark sky through the window, clenching his locket hanging around his neck as he hears a faint knock on his door

James  has been trying to make him eat but he just doesn’t want to.

It’s been four days since he started staying in Netjames house and he had locked himself in that room the whole time, refusing to go out

It’s been four days since he started staying in Netjames house and he had locked himself in that room the whole time, refusing to go out.

Net even forced himself into the room, scared that he would do something crazy.

He fainted at one point for not eating, making James all worried, but yet here he is, doing the same all over again

He fainted at one point for not eating, making James all worried, but yet here he is, doing the same all over again.

James was so patient with him and New felt guilty for being a burden to them.

They just had their first child and the house should be filled with happiness, but instead, it is so gloomy and he blamed himself for being the reason behind that.

He gives a faint answer to leave the food near the door and James does as he says, not wanting to bother him.

Once he hears the soft click of the door shut, indicating that James is finally inside their bedroom, New stands up, pulling his suitcase and stuffing back his belongings.

He pulls out a pen and paper, writing his gratitude to the couple for letting him stay and apologizing for leaving them without a word.

New wanted to leave, he knows his other friends would be more than glad to have him over, but he doesn’t want to.

They were all married and have their own family.

He doesn’t want to be there, stopping them from being happy because of his misery.

He will leave, as long as his best friend can have the life he deserves.

Zee wakes up in a gloomy mood, contrary to the cheerful bright sky.

It was the weekend and he finally got a break from all the hassle happening in his life.

All the sudden responsibilities he had to fulfill, the ones his best friend used to take care of

All the sudden responsibilities he had to fulfill, the ones his best friend used to take care of.

But he did his best and the whole company was astonished at his sudden change

He was never really the authoritarian workaholic boss type, cause he had his sincere friend taking care of everything.

So he took it easy.

But now, he doesn’t have his friend by his side, so he had to change.

He worked so hard to carry out every deal, the way his buddy used to do.

But one thing was obvious; he does not smile anymore.

The flirty and goofy boss was replaced with a serious and emotionless one.

Losing his best friend did take a toll on him.

He takes a shower and puts on his suit as he gets out of his house and hops into his BMW, not even bothering to grab some breakfast.

He stops by a flowers shop, buying a bouquet of white carnation as he drives to his destination.

Getting down, he holds his bunch of flowers and walks through the rows of trees to reach a certain part of the land where his friend is buried deep in the ground.

Upon nearing the place, he finds a figure sitting near the grave, but he is wasn't sure who it was.

When he stops in front of the place, he finally realizes who it was

When he stops in front of the place, he finally realizes who it was.

It’s New , sleeping beside, hugging the tombstone with his tear-stained eyes.

He places the flowers down and looks up again, and when he finds his suitcase beside him, he understands the situation.

He slowly walks over to the sleeping Nunew as he faintly calls out his name but to no response.

Zee sighs, lightly shaking him by the shoulder, finally waking up the latter.

New opens his eyes to a hazy image of Zee, who silently offers him his hand with a soft smile.
