 "You're okay?" Stell asks as he jumped into the car

"You're okay?" Stell asks as he jumped into the car. "Long flight," he sighs before putting on the seatbelt. His cousin starts to drive off the airport in silence, probably notice his mood.

Today is supposed to be happy, with the good weather and the deal he closed during the business trip but it is too early to celebrate. Until he reaches home, he will decide on it. He taps on his phone, waiting for any notification from Justin. Nothing.

"It's still early to go home. Do you want to stop for brunch?" Stell suggests, giving him a glance before focus back to the road. "Can we stop by for a cake? I crave for some," he replies, turning off his phone. "Sure."

"Is there any updates on him from your boyfriend?" He asks, referring to Pablo. "No. He really put his mouth glued this time, not a single hint." The silent returns, as Ken places his head to rest.

He thought everything will turn out well after the Christmas early celebration. That night when Justin abruptly decided to stop by his house, the guy chose to sleep with him on the same bed instead of his old room. Justin used his charm to make them had two rounds of it before agreed that Justin need his rest for his work the next day.

The next morning, Justin leave him alone in the bed without goodbye and ignored his texts and calls. Not even a wish for Christmas and New Year. He tried to reach for Pablo but he guessed the manager blocked his contact. He only get Justin's updates through social medias to know that the guy is doing well, looking good with his silver hair.

He sent him the picture of his blonde hair and new tattoos to get his response, but all is left on seen. He hates that they are going backwards, to the point that they are almost back to strangers.

"Inform me for anything. We're cousin, after all," Stell says as he stops the car. "Sure. Thanks for the ride," he replies before stepping out of the car with the cake box. He takes out his luggage from the trunk and bids Stell goodbye.

Taking a deep sigh, he pulls in the luggage and reach for his home in few minutes. He pushes the door open, deep down hoping for a figure appears and pulls him in a hug which he will reply with forehead kiss, or real kiss, whichever the guy wants.

He had imagined that for the whole time, how their marriage life will be once everything is figured out.

One can but dream.

He steps further into his house, frowns to see two boxes on the table at the living room. He doesn't remember he left it there so he comes closer for further inspection. Those two well covered boxes doesn't stop his eyes from focused on a small rectangle plastic beside it. He is familiar with it but to feel it in his hands at this moment makes his heart in ache.

He decided.

"Hi!" he looks over to the voice behind him, only to see the silvered hair guy flashing his gummy smile.

"I told you to send it in package instead of person. Is it too much to ask?"

"What do you mean?" Justin steps forward until he notices the card in his hand.

"Shucks!" the model cursed.
