............... "So, you're telling me. dad is here. because of me?" guilty Pun couldn 't hold back his tears as he looked at his father lying on the bed almost lifeless.

"It's not your fault Pun. Okay? Don 't think that" His mother reassured but Pun knew she was just telling him that to make him feel better.

"I shouldn 't have left home."

"Don 't say that. Your dad was just stressed out with his job and all. He will be fine soon."

Pun felt so guilty about what he did. Even though his father controlled everything he does, he remembered how his father would make it up to him by taking him out to dinner or spend time with him.

Pun cries silently as he took his father's cold hand, wrapping it with his. "I will be an engineer dad. I will make you proud"

His mother widened her eyes as she couldn 't believe what she just heard.

"But Pun--"

"I've made up my mind mom.." Pun glanced back at his mother who looked at him with those pitiful eyes.

"This is the least I can do for him."

"You don 't owe him anything Pun.. do what you love. Take agriculture, be a florist! Go travel. those things you dreamed about an--.." His mother rants as she states everything she could think of. His mother was the only one who knew about what he loves. She's the one who taught her about plants and flowers along with his grandma.

Pun gives her another reassuring smile." Those can wait Mom. But this time.. I want to help dad recover.."

All his mother could do was nod and agree with what Pun have already decided.

Doing what his father loves, is harder than what he thought it would be.

While his father is still at the hospital resting. Pun is getting ready for taking the entrance exam for the engineering school his dad wants him to get in to.

Pun visited the school's library to which everyone was also busy studying. There's this particular bookshelf to which everyone was queuing up to just to get that specific book.

"uh. Excuse me. What's going on?" asked Pun the boy who's in front of him.

"oh. We all want to get that book, the seniors told us that book is extremely helpful for the entrance exam next week"

"Really?! Okay I'll get one too"

Pun waited for a couple of minutes, the anxiety was building up as soon as he saw that there's two books left in the bookshelf.

"Mine!" Pun claimed, but the book was already taken by a foreigner guy who Pun remembered didn 't queue to get the book. The guy glanced at him with a poker face before heading on his way.

Pun looked at the last book on the shelf, he wanted to get it instead but someone already grabbed it.

Pun frustratedly ruffles his hair, hesitating if he should follow the guy. And yes, he did.

"Excuse me? I claimed that book first" Pun stated as he followed the guy from behind. The guy didn 't spare him a glance as he keep walking.

"Aren 't you giving it to me?"

"...."

"I need that book! I don 't know shit about engineering so please could you jus--" then he bumped onto the guys back as the guy stopped in front of him.

"Uh.." the guy turned around, face to face with him.

Suddenly he felt the book being shoved to his chest.
