Gion didn't get any sleep. He keep just staring at the hotel ceiling drowning himself from the thoughts. Asking himself why? How? And if he's not enough? Crying. When the sun rise he decided to go down in the lobby of the hotel to grab some snacks but when he saw men in black approaching the entrance of hotel he hide right away. He knew his parents was looking for him. But he don't want to see them for now. So Gion grab run away again not knowing where he supposed to go. While in the cab he check his wallet and he was relieved when he saw his cash.
"It's enough for me to live for weeks alone." He whispered. The cab take him to the place away from Manila. Where no one can find him. He paid the cab and took off. He ends up to the mountain where campers are allowed. He bought tent and things he need to stay in that place. When he done building his tent he looked around and realized that he is alone in the side of the mountain he chose.
"Much better to be alone." He whispered. He sat on the rock and eat the food he bought a while ago. His phone rang and when he saw who's calling he turn his phone off. He just stayed there until the sky went dark.
Gion look up when he feel the rain was pouring. But he didn't even move an inch in his spot. But someone putted a towel on him. When he check who's that he saw a familiar man smiling at him. That stranger he met yesterday. It sat besides him.
"We see each other again. I think we're destined." the stranger said and laugh.
"Destiny or you're following me?" Gion asked that makes the guy stop laughing and smile like it was embarrassed.
"Hindi. Bakit naman kita susundan?" Gion shrugged his head. "Fine. I followed you. I saw you a while ago hiding to those men in black. Aayain sana kita kumain e. Then I followed you until you reached here. I just want to check you." Gion nodded.
"Thank you." Gion uttered while looking nowhere.
"For what?"
"For making me feel that I'm not alone."
"I'm Jariell," The man said and asked for handshake. Gion smiled a little bit.
"I am Gion," with that he accepted the handshake. After that no one spoke again. They just sitting there not minding the rain drops.
"Gion..." Jariell broke the silence.
"Hmm..." the little man response.
"Do you mind telling me what's make you run away?" Jariell asked. At first Gion have a second thought but he found himself telling every details of the happening that shattered him too much. He started crying when every scenes they flashed in his mind and become vivid to him.
"Ssshh. It's okay." It's too late before Gion realized that Jariell already embracing him tightly.
"I-i did e-everything to make them happy. But in the end I left nothing but pain." Gion just cried to Jariell's chest until he calmed down.
"What your plan now?"
"I honestly don't know."
"About your fiancee and best—" Gion cut him off.
"Let them. It's love we can't control it. We can't stop it. I will cut our relationship. The deal and let them be."
"They're so lucky have you." That makes Gion chuckled.
"No, I'm so lucky to have them. They makes me happy. And it's not their fault if I'm in pain right now. They just followed their hearts."
"What if I followed my heart right now, Gion?"
"What do you mean?" Jariell just smiled at him and shrugged. "I mean if I follow what my heart's want. Do you think it's right."
"It depends on what you're going to do. It easy to decide using your heart but you need to use head too for the better." Jariell nodded.
"You can you tell me. It is about your family?" Gion asked.
"We're happy. Perfect family."
"Good for you."
"Before..." Gion forehead creased as he heard that.
"Huh?" Suddenly Jariell changed his expression his teeth was clenching and Gion can say that he was angry. He was mad.
"My family died. 8 years ago. In front of me. They were killed." Jariell first are clenching. His eyes were red in anger.
"W-wait yesterday you said to me that you are living with you parents." Gion asked. He became curious about the latter.
"Adopted parents to be exact." Jariell answered with bitterness.
"I'm sorry to heard that." he genuinely sorry for Jariell's pain.
"Gion, do you think that peope behind my parents death are sorry too?"
"I don't know. But I hope they are. They just steal someone's life when they shouldn't."
They keep talking about serious topic until Gion feel so comfortable to Jariell as if they are best friend. They just stayed up all night under the rain talking laughing until they decided to sleep. They sleep together.
But Gion wake up when he heard a loud bang near in his tent. He feel anxious and nervous he knows that sound it's gun. He used his phone as flashlight.
"Jariell?" He saw the empty space besides him where Jariell slept and he was nowhere to find. Gion immediately stood up and look for him. He was trembling in fear.
"JARIELL!"
"JARIELL! WHERE ARE YOU?" He shouted. He flinched when he heard another loud bang and it was followed by the shouts that makes Gion terrified.
"P-PLEASE LET U-US GO. W-WE WANT JUST TO FIND OUR SON."
"N-NO! PLEASE—" another gunshots echoed to the whole place. Gion began to shivered. He knows that voice.
"M-mom, dad..." He run quickly to the place where he heard the shouts and when he arrived to that place. His world suddenly crashed down. He saw his parents lying in the ground full mud and blood. He ran to them and tried to make them wake up. They are shots in their chest. And the blood continue gushing.
"M-mom! D-dad!" He cupped his parents faces but they didn't answer. .
"M-mom. I-it's me. Y-you are f-fetching me right? I'm here let's go home..." The rain starts pouring again.
'"Mom. D-dad p-please. Don't leave p-please. I'm sorry." Gion hope came back when his dad finger moves.
"D-dad."
"G-gion..." he nodded and sobs.
"It's me—"
"Run. D-don't let him catch. H-he will kill y-you." His dad was breathing too hard.
"D-dad. I can't leave y-you here—"
"N-no. Please. R-run. D-don't let them win. T-tell Flynn t-that we love h-him—"
"Dad stop talking I will take you in the hospital. Y-you and mom." Gion grab his phone but his dad held his hand and shook his head.

"G-gion, now.. Son. Run!." His dad pushed him he stumbled back.
"N-no."
"P-please, son..." he doesn't have any choice but to run away. And he heard another bangs where his parents are. He run as could as he can. Crying hopelessly but he stopped when he realized something.
"Jariell!" He whispered. He looked back. His near to the road but he decided to come back.
"I-i can't leave him." So, Gion walked back to the campsite. Shivering in fear but he need to find Jariell he can't just leave the latter behind.
"W-where are you?"
"Please, l-let him be alive." his praying silently until he stopped when a cold metal touched his back of head. Gion trembled. He feel the figure behind him.
"So you came back. What made you came back here?" He chuckled when he recognized that voice.
"You tricked me..." Gion said with anger.
"I didn't. You are just stupid." the man said followed with laugh.
