As the morning sun continued to rise outside the window, casting golden rays into the room, Jimmy and Sea stayed intertwined, their hearts beating as one. They knew there would be challenges ahead, but together, they were ready to face whatever the future held, hand in hand, with a newfound understanding and deep, abiding love.

Jimmy's phone suddenly rang, breaking the tranquil moment. He reached out to silence the alarm, reluctantly breaking the embrace with Sea. "Listen, Sea," Jimmy started, his voice tinged with regret. "I have a train to catch. I'm actually heading to London as a substitute lecturer at a medical school for three months. I promised I'd be back to see you once I'm done."

Sea smiled warmly at Jimmy. "Hia..."

Jimmy checked his schedule on his phone and frowned. "No, wait, my schedule is packed after that. I need to go back to Thailand..."

Sea gently interrupted Jimmy with a calming gesture. "Hiaaa... calm down."

Jimmy looked at Sea curiously, prompting Sea to continue with a chuckle. "I don't stay in Paris, Hia."

Jimmy's brows furrowed in confusion. "Huh?"

Sea nodded, his smile growing wider. "I live in London. I'm a first-year student at a university over there."

Jimmy's eyes widened in surprise. "What? I had no idea..."

Sea nodded again, explaining further. "It's my vacation, so I came to Paris with my friends..."

Suddenly, Sea gasped, his expression turning worried. "Oh no..."

Jimmy furrowed his brows in concern. "What's wrong?"

Sea glanced around the hotel room and spotted his bag on the floor. He tried to get up from the bed but found his legs feeling like jelly. With a sigh, he flopped onto the carpeted floor.

Jimmy panicked, rushing to Sea's side to help him up. "Careful, Sea. Watch out."

With Jimmy's assistance, Sea managed to sit back on the bed. Jimmy fetched Sea's bag and handed it to him. Sea quickly retrieved his phone and saw a flood of missed calls from Force and Book.

"P'Force and P'Book," Sea muttered, his expression filled with guilt. "They must be looking for me."

Jimmy looked over Sea's shoulder at the missed calls. "They seem worried..."

Sea nodded, feeling a pang of guilt. "I should call them back."

Jimmy nodded in agreement. "Yes, let them know you're alright."

Sea dialed Force's number first, his heart pounding with nervousness as he waited for a response. After a few rings, Book picked up instead.

"SEA TAWINAN!" Book's voice boomed over the line, causing Sea to wince and instinctively hold the phone slightly away from his ear.

Sea stuttered, feeling guilt wash over him. "P-P'Book, I-I am sorry..."

Book's tone remained stern, laced with concern and a hint of anger.

"Sea, you could have informed us that you were leaving. Force and I have been looking for you all night. We asked around the club, and someone said they saw you leaving with a man. Do you know how dangerous that could be?"

Sea nervously twisted the duvet cover. "I am sorry, P'Book..."

Book sighed deeply, his frustration evident. "Are you alright? Where are you right now?"

"I'm alright, P'Book," Sea replied, trying to steady his voice. "I'm at a hotel right now."

Book's voice softened slightly. "Hotel? What hotel?"

Sea hesitated, knowing he needed to explain everything but feeling overwhelmed. "P'Book, I will go back to P'Force's apartment. I will explain everything to you later."

"Fine," Book relented, though his tone still held a hint of worry. "We'll be here waiting."

Sea looked over at Jimmy with a small smile, attempting to ease the tension he felt. "What time is your train, Hia?"

"11am," Jimmy replied softly.

Checking the time on his phone, Sea noted it was 8am. He intertwined his fingers with Jimmy's. "Let's wash up, and I'll take you to the train station."

Jimmy returned Sea's smile warmly and nodded in agreement. They both knew there were explanations and conversations to come, but for now, they focused on the immediate task ahead—together, hand in hand.
