Max laid his brother on the bed as soon as they arrived in a cabin Sam and Max talked and planned about. He gave him a glass of water and some food to eat. Morris sat up—eyes half-open—while Max sat on a chair near the bed.
"How?" Morris asks breaking the silence between the two. Max looked at him worried about his brother's current condition.
"Sam." He muttered in reply. Morris looked at him confused at what his younger brother had replied. Their gazes met and in an instant, Max shook his head understanding what his brother was telling.
"Let Sam explain so that you can understand it more." He simply said before he stood up and went to the bathroom. Morris hangs his head low as they wait for the others to arrive.
On the other hand, John, Sam, Sean, Julius, and Ian, landed on a rail track near a river. Sam held his knees for support as he gasp for air. Ian uttered an "Are you okay?" before he patted Sam's back for comfort and gave him bottled water. Sam just nodded before he stood up, took the bottle, and face his friends.
"My energy ran out, sorry about that. Lakadin na lang natin papunta kila Max, malapit na rin naman tayo." He stated before he began to walk and drank the water. His friends followed silently as they drank their own bottled water.
They were walking for almost an hour and a half before they reached the same cabin the siblings were staying at. Sam immediately opened the door catching the two sleeping together while caging each other in their embrace.
As soon as John saw his beautiful partner sleeping, his mouth curved into a small, bitter smile. He went to it and began to observe the latter's face by running a hand at each part. It went from his hair, down to his soft cheeks, and lastly to his bruised neck that John didn't notice earlier. Morris winced at the pain it gave that made his eyes slowly open.
His eyes immediately met John's and both smiled at each other before they hugged. On the other side of the bed, Max slowly woke up at the sudden harsh movements. He eyed his brother and John who happily hugged each other before he averts his gaze to the door and couch where Sam and the others were located.
His gaze was stuck at Sam's who were looking at Morris and John from the door. Max stood up, leaving the love birds, and went to Sam who went to the kitchen for some food and refreshments.

"Well, I believe you have some explaining to do?" Morris blurted out as he sat beside Sam who was sitting on the couch. Sam stopped drinking his iced coffee before he face Morris with a questionable look on his face.
"Haynako Sam, pwede bang ikwento mo na lang?" Morris complained as he pout at the latter.
Sam sighed as a reply to what Marcus complained about. He was about to tell Morris the whole story before he was interrupted by everyone who came back from hanging on the porch outside the cabin.
Sam shot an angry look at them for interrupting him. "Narinig namin, kaya pumasok kami." John explained with both hands were raised as a sign of surrender. All of them positioned themselves around the couch waiting for Sam to start the story.
"So..." He uttered eyeing everyone who is patiently waiting for him to start. "...here it goes." Sam continued as everyone nodded.

"Uhm...hey tito, si Max nga po pala—kaklase ko. Sa bahay po muna siya makikituloy ng apat na araw. May gagawin po kasi kaming project." Reign explained as he reached his uncle who was leaning against a tree. He looked at the boy behind his nephew which Reign did the same. "Don't worry tito, nakapag paalam na siya sa parents niya." Reign added and Sam just nodded.
