Macau's POV
"Haa...shit...Khun Kinn was tricking us. I can't access CCTV cameras anymore."
"Wait!!" Macau doesn't let me take another step. "There's a camera over there."
"...there wasn't before...so Khun Kinn did change the security system...he just made me believe he hadn't...to trap us easier."
"Come this way."
"No...go back the other way, Macau...we're in the dark. I'll look for Wang alone."
"Look. You can't escape the cameras alone. I know where they are. I know all the hidden spots here that I bet even you don't know about. I know the map of this building like the back of my hand. Even if P'Kinn changed the system, I'm sure I can guide us around here. I spent months coming to the mansion without ever appearing in a single footage."
"Why would you do that?"
"Isn't it obvious?! It was the only way to see you... and also if my brother knew, he would forbid me from coming here... so I often snuck in here without anyone knowing."
"You snuck in here for that long?! Just to see me?!"
"Yeah...?!"
"..."
"For a long time before you accepted my confession, seeing my crush already made me happy, Arm. Maybe even before...ever since you took care of me when my brother had his accident... I already found a way to follow you. Does that make me a stalker?!"
"...Macau... undeniably that makes you a stalker."
"Ow."
"But I don't mind that at all" Arm pats my head. "I trust you. Lead the way"
"OKAY!!"I feel deeply proud of myself for been a stalker. "Run now and go into that hallway!" I put us in a blind spot from the cameras. "Now run to that other hallway!"
Arm whispers in my ear as I watch for movement ahead.
"...you shouldn't have come here today, Macau..."
"But... I came for you!" Is he really rejecting me?! "To apologize. I know I was wrong."
"It was my fault. I shouldn't have left you alone..."
"You should have. I was childish, Arm. I'll understand if you're tired of my behavior. But I can't promise I'll give up on you. I'm sorry for being so stubborn. It runs in the family."
"Hey... I like your stubbornness. It's okay." He tenderly strokes my hair again as I feel his breath against my neck. I think he's forgiven me.
I turn around.
"Is it really mean to Mr. Wang if we waste a few seconds now to kiss?!"
"I can live with the guilt." That steamy smooch from my boyfriend was enough for me to forget we had to save someone.
