"P'Fluke, You look pale, are you okay?" Prem asks while looking worriedly at Fluke, who is busy washing the cups that were used by the customers in the shop.

"I am fine, don't worry" Fluke answers before lightly tapping the other's shoulder.

"Sit here and take a rest!" the other commands as he offers a chair to sit on.

Fluke nods and sits on the chair, hands on his head. Fluke does not know how many days he's been up now, he's too busy to count because aside from working, he had to study because of the midterms as well, he wasn't able to eat and sleep, which makes him feel dizzy and hungry.

Now he regrets not believing his seniors when they said that 3rd year in college would be like hell, with all the projects and stuff to study. If he only did then maybe he had prepared himself.

10:40 pm, he just got out of the bus, on his way to the store. He still has his shift in the store before he could finally get a rest. His vision starts to get blurry and he does not like it. He stops on a street post and leans on there for a while when he notices someone walking towards him.

"Fluke?"

"...phi..."

Seeing the face of phi, he suddenly feels calm and safe, he let out a deep breath while looking at the man. He tries to stand but his body already gives up.

"Fluke?!" Fortunately, Ohm is already standing in front of him and catches him when he lost consciousness. He worriedly calls him and taps his face repeatedly, but then no response. He then decides to carry Fluke and bring him to the hospital.

-----

2 am, Ohm is now staring and the younger's sleeping face resting on the hospital's bed. The doctor said Fluke is now fine, he just needs some sleep and food. But even though it's nothing serious, he's still worried as hell.

What if he was not there when it happened? What will happen to Fluke?

He suddenly feels a hand touching his.

"Phi.. where are we?" Fluke asks mumbling, eyes still half-closed.

"at the hospital. You passed out earlier. Seriously, why are you abusing yourself?"

Ohm looks so mad and Fluke just can't feel anything but guilt.

"I'm sorry phi...." He does not have the energy to explain. He tightens his grip on the older's hand.

"I'm... sorry, Phi was just really worried. Are you feeling better now?"

Fluke nods.

"Let me settle the bill and we'll go to my house hmm."

Before Fluke could even speak, Ohm already leaves to pay for the bill, causing the boy to feel even more guilty. He feels like he's bothering the older a lot now.
