"It wasn't your son's fault. The truck driver was racing with an another truck. The police report confirmed that Gun was sober and was following the road safety. ", he heard his aunt explaining to his dad when he woke up at the hospital bed.

His father didn't respond and the two stopped talking when Gun's aunt noticed he was already awake.

Since then, his dad usually stays in the US with Gun's aunt. Whenever the old man visits him, he doesn't talk to his son unless it's to criticize him.

"When will he forgive me? I lost my mom that day.. And somehow.. I feel like I lost my dad on the same day.."

Gun's phone rang which cut his tragic memory.

"Where are you?", Off asked from the other end of the line.

"Home.. Why?", he responded lazily.

"I have a surprise for you. Let's meet outside?", he heard from the other line.

The little guy felt irritated as he remembered the news he saw earlier.

"Why not ask your fiancé? Sorry, P, I'm busy.", he answered then ended the call. He doesn't have time to play that man's game.

"Why does he bugs me when he has a girlfriend to attend to?", he asked to himself as he flopped face down on his bed, just wanting to stop thinking about their situation. His fluffy sheet, white pillows and bed are inviting him to close his eyes and rest his mind.

Few knocks on the door woke him up.

"Khun Gun..? You have a guest waiting outside.", the helper called out to him.

He rubbed his eyes and stretched his body as he tries to keep his eyes open, struggling to get up. He fixed himself up before going out to see who was his visitor. His heart almost jumped out of his chest when he saw his dad talking to the handsome guest sitting on the couch in the living room.

They seemed having a serious conversation that he got hesitant to walk over. But Off noticed him and glances in his direction which made the old man turn to look at Gun as well. The old man cleared his throat, looking at his son from head to toe then stood up and left them.

"Strange.", Gun uttered to himself. For the first time in the last 5 years, he didn't see that look of displeased from his father's eyes.

"Hey, shorty! What are you moping about?", Off greeted him, smirking.

The little guy furrowed his brow still feeling uncomfortable facing this handsome guy.

"I just don't feel well, P'.", he answered, averting his P's gaze.

"What brought you here?", he asked the tall man.

"Nothing. Just want to bug you.", he answered, smiling sweetly.
