Tomorrow morning, it's a new day with a bunch of struggles for Benjie. But for Caleb, all we need to do is to smile, even if things are getting hard.

"Good morning, Benjie!" Caleb greeted but Benjie just ignored him and went to the kitchen to have some breakfast.

"Yah! Why are you not noticing me?" Benjie continued eating, not noticing Caleb. But Caleb didn't lose his hope, that someday, the time will come Benjie will talk to him.

"I've been staying here for 3 years already. In this apartment. But I've been here in Korea for 6 years. My body is in China but as you can see, my soul is here. Maybe for some reasons of God." Caleb sighed and pouted when he got no response from Benjie.

"You're Chinese, aren't you?" Finally, Benjie spoke already.

"I am! Anyways, how old are you? I'm 17, turning 18 this coming November 27. You?" Benjie just rolled his eyes because of irritation.

'Why is he so loud?!' Benjie mentally screamed.

"I'm 17. Just turned 17 last February 5– Wait! You're older than me!" Caleb just let a soft giggle out of his mouth and patted Benjie's head even though he really can't touch it.

"You don't have to be formal with me." And there, something hit Benjie's mind.

'Talking to Caleb isn't that bad. But... I'm still bothered for some reasons.'
