Krist's began to feel annoyed. He couldn't understand why Gun is so worked up.

"What are you talking about? He might just be being protective of me as an older brother.", he asked, feeling frustrated.

"He might just be hesitant to reject me because.. I'm his little brother.", he continued in a much lower voice, unsure about what to think.

"Wasn't it enough that he announced to the world how special you are to him?", Gun retorted, feeling dismayed at how insecure this guy is.

"Not just once have I seen him cry over you while you were having the time of your life flirting with different women. He even gave up our contract as a couple and asked the management to hire you so he can be with you. Even this! This house. It was his suggestion. All of these is because of you.", Gun spoke up, his brows are furrowed in frustration.

"Gun!", a loud voice echoed in the residence which startled Gun, Krist, and Off.

It was Singto standing at the door, looking dejected. Tay and New are behind him, looking shock as Krist and Off.

The little guy was taken aback as he realized he said too much..again.

He hangs his head and didn't know what to say.

"S-sorry, Sing.", he said feeling guilty for exposing his friend. He just couldn't stand idly by anymore after watching all the sufferings Singto has secretly endured and still being doubted by Krist. Gun then rushed inside the house, leaving the rest astonished. Off puts his hand over Krist's shoulder and gently pressed it.

"Hang in there, man.", he said as he leaves to follow Gun and gives them privacy. He also patted Singto's shoulder as he passed by him. Tay and New did the same and left the two.

Singto gazes at Krist, in his eyes he is begging, afraid that this man in front of him will push him away again.

Krist on the other hand is still in shock. Trying to absorb everything he just found out.

"How stupid can I be? Why haven't I noticed? Why didn't you tell me?", he then uttered, after realizing what is going on, his tears rolling down his cheeks.

Singto rushed towards him, just wanting to hold him close and put Krist's doubts away. But Krist stepped back before he can touch him, shaking his head, and began sobbing.

"All this time, you've been doing things for me which I didn't ask. I feel like a fool thinking that my skills brought me here. I thought I finally achieved something on my own. And you.. You're love.. You're selfless love.. ", he uttered as he sobbed heavily.

"Kit...", Singto called out to him. His heart is aching so much. It's unbearable to watch his beloved man doubting him and in pain. Singto's tears are pouring on its own, hoping he can stop this man to utter his worst fear.

"Please... Don't say it.", he prayed in his mind, with all his heart.

Krist looked at him in a sorrowful gaze.

"I don't deserve it.. I-..I don't deserve you, Phi Singto.. I'm sorry.", he uttered in between sobs.

Singto's heart is shattered into a million pieces. His worst fear. It has come. He lowered his head, his knees are shaking. His tears are rolling down uncontrollably, he can hardly breath.

"No.. Please..", he whispered. He doesn't have the strength to speak loud enough anymore. His life. His happiness. It's disappearing in front of him.

Krist turns to leave. He doesn't know how to face this man anymore. It's just so painful to stay, knowing that this man has been watching him the whole time making a fool out of himself.

As Krist passed by Singto, the latter caught Krist hand.

"If you leave me now.. I'll be gone for good. Please..", he begged while holding Krist's hand, not looking at each other, just standing there beside him.

He is afraid to turn his gaze towards Krist for he can not take it if the man refuse him again face to face.

Krist looked at their connected hands, hesitant to let go but all he can feel is the betrayal. And the feeling of not being enough for the man he loves.

He lifts Singto's hand up, placed the back of it's palm onto his lips and kissed it as his tears continuesly rolls down.

"I love you, Tuan.. But I don't think I can be with you anymore.." he said as he let Singto's hand go, continuing to leave without looking back.
