Off, panicked as he read the messages from Gun and Prim. He don't know what to do since he is still on IV and he is in the hospital with his friends that looks so worried about him.
"Off, you need to stop looking for Gun, if he doesn't want to be found let him be. You are sick dammit. Prioritize yourself, you're making us worried." Arm scolded him, but he just bow and think of what to do to make him out of this hospital and rush to Gun.
"Peng, let us look for Gun for now, take a rest for now, maybe for a week or so. After that maybe we will let you look for Gun." Tay said
"I wanna go home now, I will not recover here, it's lonely and sad and all I can see is you and the nurses and the white wall." Off whined, but it looks like his friends can't hear him.
To 0975*******
Gun, I am so sorry for ditching, it is not intention honestly, something came up and I need to cancel everything and my battery is zero. I am so sorry. I hope we can still talk.
From 0975*******
I am still here Off, waiting.
After a week of being in the hospital, Off felt relieved when the doctor said he can go home now and continue to live. He never knew that hospitals can make a day feel like a decade. Arm, took care of the bills and Tay is with him waiting, so they can go home now.
"You found Gun, aren't you?" Off was shocked but he didn't let it show. He is good at hiding, how the hell Tay found that out? Does Arm also know? How? Did he contact them? Did Prim told them? these are thye questions running on his mind, he don't now how to react, he is in shock!
"How?" he asked
"I just know, hahaha" tay teased "You won't be so excited to get the hell out of this hospital if you have no one to go to. Your face says it all peng. The glow in your eyes, the smile you give is different from the past years without Gun. I am so happy you found him already. Arm only teased you when he said that you should stop looking for Gun, he meant no harm, you know. He knew it from the start, we saw the things you packed, the list you made and the ring. We are so happy for you peng, but please do not overwork yourself." The words that came out from Tay's mouth seems like a poem to Off's ear. He cannot internalize everything from the " the smile you give is different" to " we knew it from the start". He is overwhelmed.
"We'll drop you to the resort and we will go home. Don't let that little mouse wait, his patient is so small, you know." Off just nod in response to Tay's offer.
"Let's go, all is done" Arm said and they packed up and go.
"Can we stopped by the KFC? I just need to buy something." Off shyly asked Arm and Tay.
"Sure, I also need to buy something for New, he's been grumpy since yesterday because of something, hahhaha"Tay said
"That's TMI! can't you feel I'm single? have some respect bro." Arm retorted
They are near the resort gun is talking about and he is so damn nervous. His palms are sweating and there are words in his mind that he cannot say also the feeling of wanting to pee or not is there. He wanted to back out, but it seems like he has no chance because they just arrive at the resort and he can see Gun playing with the sand.
"Thank you so much, I need to go inside now, are you you don't want to say hi to Gun before leaving? Off asked Arm and Tay but they just smile in response.
"Gun" Gun's mind went blank when he heard Off. He can't believe that Off will still come because it's been a week now, all his hopes are gone.
"Off, let's put your things inside before we talk, have you eaten? are you thirsty,wanna drink water, juice, coffee or what?" Gun asked Off. Off smiled, he can't believe that Gun is panicking, he is a calm and composed person!

ANW, thank you for reading this very short story, I never expected that someone will read this because, i really thought this is so boring and very complicated. ciao-
