2 years later

Chan entered the convenience store near the unit he used to live

He met Ter inside the convenience store, Chan approached Ter who is busy choosing what noodles to buy

Chan tapped the opposite shoulder of Ter and placed his face on the other side

Ter looked at the side where Chan tapped and looked at the opposite, right when he turned his head Chan's face is looking towards him so close that their nose had almost touched

"How are you?" Chan asked

Ter has taken aback of what Chan did

"I said, How are you, Ter... " Chan asked again and smiled

"I..I'm busy with work as usual, how about you?" Ter replied while fixing his posture

"I'm here to buy some snacks, Mon is waiting in my Car" Chan answered confidently

"With who?" Ter asked as if he misheard Chan

"Mon.. my girlfriend! We're celebrating our 1st anniversary together" Chan replied while picking some junk food

Ter could not speak nor move a finger of what he heard

"How's our Agency.. are you still working for them?" Chan asked

Chan left after finishing all the contract he had signed and transferred as a non-exclusive artist at different agency

Chan keeps talking while Ter just stand still and stares at him

Ter feels like he entered the void, Chan is talking but he could not hear it, he felt cold and shivers from head to toe

Ter suddenly speak

"This place...."

"Huh?" Chan reacted

"This place is the magical place..." Ter said while he remained looking at the floor

"This is the first time we talked to each other..."

"Now this is the last time we can talk to each other.." He added

"Last time? Why?" Chan asked, he's very confused of what Ter is saying

"This is the place we first had a conversation, knowing what each other's favorite, the first time I wanted to hear and learn someones favorite..."

"But now...."

"I'm so scared, hearing this kind of conversation from the person I wanted to share my whole life"

"To hear to that person, he's happy and living well without me"

"That person, whom I wanted to hold hands not because I'm scared but because I want to go with him where ever he goes"

"and that person... whom I wanted to see every time I open up my eyes in the morning"

"THAT PERSON..." Ter shouted while slowly looking at Chan with deep grief

"Is infront of me.."

"I kept waiting Chan.."

"I sometimes felt tired of waiting but.."

"I kept on waiting..."

Chan didn't say a thing and kept looking at Ter while smiling

As Ter continued speaking, he walks towards Chan and embraced him

"You are my daily occurrence but also a trip" Ter said while he grasp Chan tightly

"[Ter] I feel like I am someone to lived abroad for a long time, making me a tourist and at the same time Resident"
