Third Person POV

After the promo event by SBFive wrapped up, Bas reminded his P'Kim about their promise to go back to visit Gxxod in the hospital.

"Of course," said Kimmon to his nong Bas, "I have not forgotten. Let's stop by the nearest supermarket to buy him some fresh fruits."

Kimmon and Bas chose a basket of assorted fresh fruits which included some Bartlett pears, Valencia navel oranges, Ambrosia apples, Victoria plums, white nectarines and clingstone peaches.

Just after Kimmon parked his car in the hospital parking lot, Bas' phone started to ring.

Bas glanced guiltily at Kimmon after checking who the caller was.

Kimmon immediately caught the guilty glance.

"Mute that phone," Kimmon commanded Bas.

Bas did so.

"And don't unmute it until after you are out of Gxxod's hospital room, do you understand?" Kimmon had put on a firm tone with Bas.

"Yes, sir," said Bas quickly putting his phone to mute and vibrate mode.

Kimmon took the basket of fruits from the back seat and handed it to Bas.

They then proceeded towards the lobby and took the elevator to the third floor where Gxxod's room was located.

They knocked on the door before entering.

Gxxod was alone in his room, fast asleep.

"Don't wake him up," Kimmon said to Bas. "just set down the basket on his bedside table."

Bas did so.

"Let's go to the nurses' station and ask the nurses if he took any pills that could have had a sleepiness effect on him," said Kimmon.

They were about to leave the room when they heard Gxxod saying softly, "Bas ... ?"

Bas quickly turned around and rushed over to Gxxod's side.

"Yes, my love, I'm here," he said, and then "oww!" because Kimmon hit him on the back of his head.

"Stop fooling around," said Kimmon.

"I wasn't fooling around!" Bas protested.

"You mean ... you mean ..." Gxxod wasn't sure that he heard right. He needed for Bas to say it again so he could hear it clearly this time.

Bas was blushing and shaking his head furiously.

"Say it, say it again, please, Bas," said Gxxod.

Bas glanced at Kimmon, afraid to say a word.

"Can you leave us for a few minutes, P'Kim?" asked Gxxod.

"No, I want to hear it, too," said Kimmon.

"P'Kim!!!" Gxxod and Bas protested in a chorus.

" Very well," said Kimmon, "but you better not let me catch you kissing or I will inform the nurses."

"We won't," said Gxxod, winking at Bas.

As soon as Kimmon left the room and closed the door after him, Bas quickly bent down to hug Gxxod, landing heavily on his chest.

"Ow! Ow! Bas! My chest! My chest!"

Bas quickly straightened up.

"I'm sorry, P'Gxxod!" he cried, "I forgot that your chest is still hurting you!"

"It's alright, Bas," said Gxxod, "now, will you please repeat what you said to me earlier?"

Bas started to blush.

Then in a soft shy voice, he said almost in a whisper, "I said, 'yes, my love, I'm here'."

Gxxod lifted his arm, pulling Bas' face down to him by grabbing him by the neck.

Then slowly, he placed his mouth on Bas' lips.

"Ah hah! I knew this was going to happen!"

They broke apart guiltily when they heard Kimmon's voice from the doorway.

"Nurse! Nurse!" cried Kimmon.

Bas ran up to Kimmon, grabbing him by the neck and covering his mouth with his hand.

"P'Kim," said Gxxod, "are you going to be against me and Bas being in a relationship?"

"No, I will not be against it." said Kimmon, "but Bas has to break off with Joss first before starting a relationship with you."

Gxxod's eyes grew wide and looked at Bas reproachfully.

"But I ... but I ... " Bas started to say.

"I would like to be alone right now," Gxxod interrupted him, turning his face to the wall, away from Bas.
