How thin the line between love and hate?

Ming stirred, the warm feeling that seems envelopes his body is more than a lullaby dragging him back to slumber.
Squinting his eyes then turned to his sides, he saw Kit sleeping awkwardly. Kit is sitting while sleeping with his head resting on his folded arms.

Mingkwan's conscience prick him up.
Slowly sitting up, Ming watched the peaceful face of Kit. The small face that always looks happy.

Ming heard him.

What are we?

What are they?

Ming wanted Kit to stay away from him to avoid him being drag to Ming's sad world. But he can't. Ming tried to go back to what he have before.

Alone on top, with temporary bed warmers, replaceable companies. Then Kit arrived in his life like a hurricane. Without notice, without buzzing.

Maybe because the young intern never looked at him differently. He never treated him special.

Ming checked the time, its 2 am. How long he's been sleeping?

Contemplating if he should wake up Kit but decided not to.

Carefully pull the sleeping boy to lie down the sofa.

"You are up." Kit talked suddenly making Ming let go as to Not suddenly hit his head on the armrest.

"I'm so sorry!."

"Its fine, its fine." Kit sat properly massaging his hurt head.

"I'm sorry for making you my pillow for a while." Ming apologized.

"Its nothing, are you leaving?." Kit asked glancing at his watch.
"But its pretty late."

"Kit, I think we- we should go back from before."

"What do you mean?." Kit asked. Kit is not sure if its the lacked of sleep but his heartbeats are starting to race.

"Go back as the strangers." Ming clenched his fist, digging his fingers to his close palm.
"Of all people, I am the last one who have the right to dragged you into my messy life, I'm wrong for cutting the professionalism between us."

"Sure." Kit replied coldly. This is the right choice. And he is more than happy.

Ming wanted to talk more but decided against it. Giving kit one last glance. He forced his heavy feet out of the door. This for the best, it doesn't matter even every step he make, his heart is constricting look like its having a hard time pumping blood.

You are still a coward Mingkwan. A part of Ming's brain whispered. Yes the biggest coward ever.

The following day is like a blur.
Kit was a sign for site visit and he rarely report to the main office. Two weeks and his internship is done then after two months he will graduate.

Is Kit thinking about Mingkwan. No way.

Liar.

Shut up brain!.

Today is one of the rare days he have to be at the office. His dad asked him to send the report.
He was planning to leave the documents to Mingkwan's secretary then he will go.

But there's no one on the secretary's table.

No other choice, Kit knock once twice but no one is answering.
He tried twisting the knob, its not lock.
