"I can't do this." He said to me. I pulled down the camera and looked at him shocked.

"Uhh... What do you mean –

"Being here, with you!" He exclaimed as he ran a hand through his hair. "It's too... Too Arrgg!" He groaned again. I took a couple of steps back and looked at him.

"Why are you acting like this?" I asked trying to remain calm since he was getting all worked up.

"Don't you see it? The atmosphere here is... Awkward. There's only tension between us, I can't concentrate!" He exclaimed, tilting his head.

I swallowed hard. I felt my heart racing since I was nervous about his behavior." It's not my fault Chen placed you with me." I said and he clenched his jaw.

"It's not mine either." He said a bit rudely.

"Okay... What do you want to do then?" I asked.

He remained silent looking into my eyes. His sharp eyes looked darker than before and I realized the sky was darker now.

I could hear the wind and the night insects' singing around us. He remained silent and looked at me with his eyes on fire.

"Why didn't you forgive me that night?" He blurted out loud. I felt a knot on my stomach as I opened my eyes widely.

I couldn't believe that he mentioned that, I thought for a moment he let it go and that he was acting like nothing bad happened between us on Nana's party, but apparently, I was wrong.

"JB look... About that –

"No – He said shaking his head – Do you have any idea how humiliated I felt? It was hard enough for me to come up to you and even more to ask for your forgiveness." He said now, his voice a bit calmed than before.

I could see he looked hurt about this, I've hurt not only his pride but his feelings, his gaze was honest, he was really resentful.

Guilt all over my face, I could see he realized of my probably miserable expression. I looked down as embarrassment covered all of me. I nodded.

"I know... I – I've think about it, plenty times during the break. I am deeply sorry JB, I didn't meant treat you like that, I was feeling angry at you at the moment and your face reminded me of that moment..." I said but my voice cut. I was more ashamed than ever.

JB is not exactly my best friend in the world, but he was right about all this, I was a bitch to him before.

He remained silent, I could see his chest going up and down quickly, he swallowed hard before saying the words. "I accept your apologies. Please do accept mine." He said with a calm voice now.

I looked up to him, His dark eyes met mine and I smiled tenderly. "I accept them, thank you." I said.

He breathed out and closed his eyes. Magically he looked like he just pulled out a big weight from his shoulders, relief clearly reflected on his face. He nodded eagerly and clapped away.

"Okay. Let's find that damn item." He said. I smiled at him since the tension we had before it seemed to vanished away.

"Sure." I said turning on the camera. His mood improved at least 80% and he even made some jokes to the camera. He spotted a bunch of logs on the distance and motioned me to follow him.

"Maybe here.." He said trying to move the logs. They looked pretty heavy, he tried a few times. He removed his jacket I believe to move better his arms. He had a light blue sweater, I could see his muscles tensing every time he pushed away the logs. He finally made it and under them he found a box. He smiled widely to the camera.
