Kuea's pov:

I woke up as I glanced at the watch ,
How could I sleep for this long I wondered as I remembered that I couldn't sleep at night but I fell asleep when hia hugged me , I remembered that he fell asleep before me but he isn't here,
He might have gone to office by now ,
I headed towards the washroom as I completed my morning routine as usual,

Mrs. May was cooking the breakfast for me ,

I sat down on the chair as my mind was wandering in the thoughts of last night, what would have happened.. hia came to my room and gave me a sudden hug , he seemed so restless and panicked, I've never seen him panic and anxious before, he's always calm in every situation, he was sweating and his hands were squeezing me as if he would never let me go ,

"Kuea , your breakfast is ready." Mrs may walked to the table and served me food .

"Where's hia ?"

"He already left for office, you know , early meetings ." She answered as she smiled at me generously.

................

Kuea's pov :

I was watching movie peacefully lying on the couch with my snacks , I checked the time in my phone... It was getting pretty late and hia wasn't home yet , usually he comes home on a fixed time ....
None of the maids and servants were at home , I'm alone in this mansion and hia isn't here, I was getting a bit worried because he never did that before... He's always on time and very consistent with his routine....

I was watching my movie as I heard the door bell ring , it must be hia ..

I headed towards the door and opened it eagerly ,

"Hey um.. you must be kuea ?."
A man nearly of hia lian's age spoke to me , he was carrying hia with his arm around hia's waist and hia's arm was around his shoulders supported by his hand ...
Hia's body was almost hanging as his  head hung low , he was putting his whole body weight on the other man ,

Hia was almost passed out, he must have drunk so much but I never saw him that way , he was out of his senses, he never came home this drunk to be dragged by a man ,

"Yes, I'm kuea keerati , what happened to hia ?" I asked him .

"I'm Max , Lian's one and only friend." He said as he gave me a gleaming smile , I never thought hia could have a friend with that cold arrogant personality of his..

"He drank so much today until he passed out , this bastard must be grieving over something I guess." Max grinned as a chuckle escapes his mouth still struggling to hold him straight.

"He usually doesn't drink that much but today something else was bothering him for sure , this punk is so heavy  ."
He dragged him and threw him on sofa as his phone started ringing.

He picked up the call , After the conversation, he turned to me ...

"Hey kuea , can you take him to his bedroom I'm busy with some stuff I need to hurry and head back ." He patted on my shoulders before leaving.

"You got this ." He grinned at me with a childish glance and left .

I didn't knew Mr. Grumpy have a friend too , there are so many sides of his that I don't know,
My mother used to say ,
People are like ocean , we can't know them just from the surface.
Funny how her words are still deeply engraved in my heart ,

I glanced at hia , his eyes were closed and he was mumbling something,
His coat was nearly off his shoulder and his tie loosely undone , he was sitting in a rough position and his head falling back ,
Gosh I never saw him that much out of his senses,
He pulled out his coat and throwing it on the floor,
He pulled his tie off from his neck , throwing it on the floor,
