A few days passed by. Everything seems to move slowly. Everyone is still the same. Aside from Krist and Singto who seemed like newly weds and on their honeymoon. Gun who was sitting in the chair at the porch, holding a hot cup of coffee, is watching Krist and Singto who are in the gazebo and being so close to each other like they are the only peoole in the world. He is observing everyone. Tay is at the greenhouse, watering the plants as if he was the one who planted them. While New is nowhere to be seen. It was just another ordinary day. Or so he thought.

"I'm going out.", someone spoke out of the blue which startled Gun and made him turn to where it was coming from. It was Off, dressed up in a casual outfit. They never spoke much after that day when Off walked out. He doesn't really mind since they aren't even close in the first place. Besides, he knows that Off has a girlfriend. He does not like to cause a rift between them if ever.

"Hmm.. Ok?", he replied, uninterested.

"Get changed. Come with me.", the tall man requested.

"Uh.. Why?", Gun asked, wondering.

"P'Jen said we have to stick together", Off replied, shrugging.

"We don't really have to if you don't like it.", Gun said, giving Off a do over.

"I wouldn't ask you if I don't like it.", the latter retorted. The little man creased his forehead.

"Fine.", he agreed instead, letting out a sigh. He isn't in the mood to argue.

He then got up and went inside the house and up to their room to get changed. He slipped on something which matches P'Off's attire.

Off is at the porch, patiently waiting. After a few minutes, the little guy came out looking dashing in a casual fashion outfit. Gun became uneasy by the way Off is gazing at him. He looked at himself, wondering if something is wrong with what he is wearing.

"Is..this ok?", he finally asked his partner's opinion.

"Yeah.", Off nodded, suppressing a smirk, trying to ignore his eratic heart's behavior.

"You look ravishing.", he followed up and turned his gaze right away, seemingly avoiding the cute guy's eyes.

Gun feels flattered at what the tall man said but tried to ignore it. He must just be complementing him for no reason.

"Let's go.", Off uttered and led the way to the garage and got on his car.
Gun silently followed him and got in the car as well, still wondering what is Off's motive for hanging out with him. He doesn't want to ask anyway.

They are traveling to somewhere even Off doesn't know

They are traveling to somewhere even Off doesn't know. He just wants to spend this day with this young man, wanting to find out what is it that he truly feels. It's been bugging him since. Maybe he was just touched at how kind this person is. When Gun cooked for him putting all efforts to give him a proper meal. He saw it that night. When he drifted to sleep in the living room and someone covered him with a blanket. He knows it was Gun for the blanket that was given to him was that of the little guy. He got up at past midnight feeling thirsty and unconsciously opened the refrigerator to get something to munch on. He saw the meal that the little guy prepared for him, it was neatly placed in a clear container with his name on it. Though he wasn't that hungry, he ate it. Feeling guilty for taking off like that after bugging the little man to cook for him.

This confusion. It is affecting his relationship with Namtan somehow. He doesn't feel too excited or interested to see her anymore. He is starting to question what they really have. They've never been on a serious talk or have dates for a while now. Actually since Namtan got too busy, they couldn't find time to spend even a day together. He let out a sigh. He is trying to make sense of what could be happening to him. Maybe he just misses how to be taken cared off? Whatever it is, he wanted to find out today to put his mind at ease.

"What could he be thinking?", Gun asked himself, discreetly glancing at the man in the driver's seat who seems to be concentrating on the road.

"Sometimes he is distant. Sometimes he acts nice. Weird.", he thought to himself. He closed his eyes to remove such thoughts, tilted his head, and diverting his attention by remembering his lines for their series.

"No matter how many times you look away. Even if you push me aside. Or deny how you feel.. You will always see me right where you left me.. Waiting for you.", he murmured to himself, memorizing his line.

"What was that?", Off asked him, slowing down the car as he looked at Gun.

"Huh?", the cutie guy asked Off innocently.

Off parked the car at the side of road.

"Hey, shorty.", he then faced Gun, looking serious.

Gun turned to look at Off, oblivious of the battle of thoughts inside his P's head.

"Yes, P?", he asked.

"I think I like you..", he replied in a serious tone.
