"I swear to God, last Saturday was the most confusing night I ever had in my life..." says Seth.

"Yeah, it's been a long time since we were having fun and getting together. Can't believe we all got wasted so bad..." says Kitty.

The seniors currently hang out at the student council's office while packing things to move to the new room at the third floor. The room that they reside now is a mobile room for the orientation. As the end of the program approaches, they are ready to empty the room.

"I still couldn't digest what happened after we had a drink..." Lauring sighs.

"You're too drunk to even open your eyes!" Kitty smacks Lauring's shoulder with a piece of cardboard.

"Did you manage to reach your room?" asks Seth. Lauring nods her head heavily.

"Consider yourself lucky. At least, you were in your room, not ending up in someone else's room!"

Kitty's words pierce deep inside some people in that room. Kim chokes on his drink. While Zee suddenly turns his sight away, avoiding eye contact from everyone.

"You drink like a baby, Kim!" Seth passes him a tissue box. The man glares at him, eyes squinting like a cat that hunts for a mouse.

Kim's face turns red like he has a fever when he recalls the incident that happened to him that night. He can't help but feel sick. How he wishes he could bury himself into the ground and never reborn again!

A Day After THE DAY

Kim sighed in pain. Those movements and voices bothered him a lot. His head was still in pain. It felt like someone had drilled his skull all the way to his brain. Not to mentioned his back. All of his body aching like he got hit by a truck last night.

But, he had to wake up now. He remembered promising a girl for a date. That cute Pan Asian girl that he met yesterday morning at the cafe. She must be waiting for him.

And for that, Kim opened his eyes. But riight at the moment, he wasn't feeling like himself anymore.

"Morning, senior..."

Never for once, Kim woke up in a real terror. Yes, he has a good number in his one-night stand record, but he never wakes up the next morning, feeling so horrified.

Like that very morning.

Instead of yelping or screaming, Kim shuffled away from the man but ended up falling from the bed.

"Senior, are you okay?" Han jumped down from the bed to check on Kim, but the man refused the touch made by the junior.

"Get off your hands from me!"

"I just wanna-"

"What happened last night? Did we-"

Han shut himself. He mustered his will to tell the truth. But, no words came from his mouth after he saw how terrified Kim was at the moment.

"I'm... Sorry... Senior Kim..."

Kim's eyes enlarge. He hastily stood up and started collecting his clothes on the floor. He wimped in pain a bit but he tried to fight the feeling.

"Stop. What are you doing?" Han asked.

"What do you think? I need to get the hell out of here!" Kim donned his pants in a hurry. Han quickly stopped him.

"What are you doing?! Let me go!"

"You need to calm down, now..."

"How can I ease myself? Look at our state now!"

"Does it feel awkward for you?"

"Of course it is!" Kim's reply made Han frowned. But, he still refused to let the man go.

"You never had a one-night stand?"

Kim pulled his hand from Han and continued wearing his clothes. Watching Kim almost ready to leave, Han grabbed him into his embrace from behind.

"What are you doing, sutt?"

"You can't leave now..."

"Ai shia, let me go!"

"You better listen to me, or you'll be in deep trouble!"

Kim pushed Han away from him.

"Wake up in this room with you is already a problem for me. What's more anyway?" he asked.

Watching Kim staring at him in pain made Han feel heartbroken. He finally realized what he did was a wrong move. At first, he only wanted to tease Kim. But right now, it's not even funny anymore.

"Listen, if you come out from this room just like that, you'll meet my moms right away. They're downstairs, preparing some breakfast," said Han.

That's when Kim stopped moving.

"Mo..ms?"

Han sighed, his finger softly fixing Kim's curtain bangs. Then, he slowly let his hand slide on Kim's shoulder, brushed off some threads and hair strains. He stared deep into that man, whom he crushed so bad.

"We were too drunk. I brought you back to my house instead of the dorm because I couldn't even drive. I asked the driver to pick us up last night," Han explained.

Kim stuttered. He wanted to ask Han but he bit his tongue. As much as it, he wanted to know. But, he was too scared because he knew, curiosity killed the cat.

"Did we..." Kim shut himself again. His feelings are kind of mixed right now. Han's head was hanging low now.

Saturday Night

"You made it on purpose, did you?" Kim grabbed Han by his collar. The younger smirked as he softly grabbed the senior's hand and pulled it down.

"So, you think you can get close to Pan? I don't think so, Senior Kim," Han replied.

"What's with you and her, huh? Are you her boyfriend?" Kim asked Han with a harsh tone.

Instead of answering his senior, Han stepped forward a bit so he could hover over Kim. They have a similar height, so their noses almost touch each other.

"If I told you that I wanna pursue her, do you have a problem with that? " asked Han. His voice became monotone and deep.

"Yes. Because I wanna pursue her as well!" Kim dared to fight Han. There is no way he'll back off from the fight. He's a senior, how can he lose to a junior!

"Then... I have no choice..." Han pulled Kim into his embrace and kissed his lips hard. He took out his phone and clicked a picture. Kim realized Han's action and immediately pushed the younger away.

"Ai sutt! What are you doing?!"

"Lowering your chance," Han smirked at Kim before flashing him the picture.

"Delete the photo! Now!"

"I'm gonna keep it until I feel like the coast is clear. Until then..." Han leaned his lips closer to Kim's ear. "Practice your kissing skills. You suck!" Han gave Kim a snarky look.

Kim couldn't hide his frustration anymore.

"What did you say?!" the senior grabbed Han on his shoulder.

"You. Suck! Kissing you feels like kissing a dead fish," Han mock Kim.

Kim couldn't take the insult anymore. He pulled Han towards him, locked his lips, and kissed the boy hard. He nibbled Han's down lip, making the boy grunted in ecstasy.

"Feels like a dead fish now?" Kim asked Han after he pulled away.

"I don't know. Should we try again?" Han smirked at the senior.

Present

"Yep. That's what happened... Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this..."

"That doesn't matter! But, I just wanna know if we... Slept.."

Even that word felt like a sharp dagger slicing his heart.

Instead of answering the question, Han stared at Kim with a pitiful expression.

"I'm leaving..."

"Senior, wait! Please don't barge out like that. My mom will put a suspicion on us. If we act normal, she won't say anything. Please... I'm doing this for you," Han begged. Kim grimaced in frustration.

Finally, after taking accounts on many possibilities, Kim agreed to come down with Han in a normal way. He felt like shit but he is not a rude person. Han looked enlightened, making Kim feel even more frustrated.

But, he was still playing along.

They descend the stairs and walk together towards the dining table. From afar, he could see two ladies enjoying their breakfast in peace. Immediately, he recognized one of them.

"Dean... Anananda?"

A lady with a black bob hair lifted her head and looked at him.

"Ao, Kim?"

"Ma'am... Is this your house?" Kim asked.

"Yeah. I live here. Are you two friends?" Rae put her coffee mug on the table. The other lady, with grey hair, quickly moved from her seat so Kim and Han could sit next to each other.

"Han? Oh, he is my... Junior..." Kim sat down politely, facing the lady with the gray hair.

"Ah... That's good! If my son gives you a hard time, just let me know, okay?" Rae smiled.

"Son?" Kim glared at Han. The boy made a poker face, and picked up the dishes for him.

"Ao, he didn't tell you about it?"

Kim shook his head.

"Lhukk, you kept the secret again! Are you ashamed of us, huh?" the lady in the gray hair jokingly scolded Han.

"He always keeps his identity from everyone. Maybe he doesn't wanna feel the pressure. Being a son to a Dean and a lecturer, people keep expecting more from him. So, don't take it too hard, okay?" said Rae.

Kim softly nodded.

"Oh, by the way, this is my fiancee, Thyme Wong," Rae introduced the lady to Kim. He gestured a wai to the lady.

"I'm happy to meet Han's friends. Ever since he enrolled at InterTech, he met a lot of good people. Last time, we met those two girls; Yara and Pan. Today, it's you,"
Thyme greeted Kim with a bright expression. Kim only flashed a fake grin, deep down inside, he truly wanted to die.

"Senior Kim is among the best students in my faculty. He's a nice senior, too..." Han glared at him with a smile.

I don't know if that's a compliment or a sarcasm! Kim can only smile.

"I hope you can guide Han properly. This crazy boy always caused trouble at school before. I can see he's changing a lot after enrolling in InterTech," said Rae.

Kim and Han exchange look, then quickly look away when they realize what just happened last night.

Breakfast ended just like that, with some more conversation that never implanted into Kim's brain. The only thing that he cared more about was how to get away from the house.

Lucky for him, Han seemed to sense his awkwardness in front of his mothers, so he asked permission to send Kim home.

The journey back home was easy breezy but it was a bit tense. Both Kim and Han shut themselves, focusing on different things. Maybe the estranged feeling was still there.

"Thank you..." Kim was about to get out of the car before Han grabbed his forearm.

"Senior..."

"I don't wanna talk about it,"

"Okay. But, you have to be responsible for what you did to me..."

Kim frowned and sighed. He turned his head, facing Han who was staring at him with his puppy eyes.

"I won't hold anything until you tell me the truth. You are lying to me, I know your nature so damn well," Kim refused.

Han's eyes dropped down, looking at his hand that stopped Kim from leaving his car. He took a moment before staring back at him.

"It was my first time. I have never done it before. Moreover, I... I..."

"Just fucking spill it!"

"I was bottoming!"

Kim grimaced in pain. Looking at innocent Han, he cursed himself so bad.

"It's my first time, senior..."

"I don't know..."

"You're evil!"

"I am? Obviously it was you who took advantage of me!"

"If it's true, why am I at the bottom?!"

Kim almost smashed the window.

"You sneaky little brat!"

"If you refuse, I'll tell everyone about us!"

"Are you blackmailing me?"

Han nodded.

"Fine! I will take responsibility for that! But, we will never be a thing, ever! Understand?!"

Han immediately smiled like a fool. He softly caressed Kim's head, patting his hair as if Kim is his child.

"Thank you, Senior Kim. So, from now on, we will take care of each other. Promise?" Han stick out his pinky.

Kim reluctantly entwined his pinky with Han. The boy looked enlightened after that. Kim couldn't stand the feeling anymore. He quickly got off the car and dashed towards his dorm building.
