KRIST WAS LAYING down beside Singto who was in deep sleep. He caressed the elder's face as he gently moves away from him. Singto needed time to relax his mind as well as to forget what happened earlier. 

And that means, not meeting his boyfriend for days or weeks.

"Where are you going?" Ohm asked when he spotted Krist going out of is room.

"Singto needs time to think," 

"But he needs you here," Ohm protested.

"He needs to be alone or be with you, just like the old time."

"What happened six months ago was different. I was traumatized, yes, that's why we are dependent with each other but right now, you're the one that he needs the most."

Krist shrug his head and smiled. "Trust me, he won't be comfortable when I'm around him."

And that moment, Krist walked away.

He doesn't know what to feel.

He doesn't know what to do next.

"What are you doing here?"

Krist finally came back from his senses. He blinked twice before focusing his vision of the man in front of him. How badly he wanted to hug him tight and tell him that everything's gonna be fine.

Even though everything's slowly broken and drifting away.

Their relationship would end up nothing, but just a mere memory. Krist would never let him go, no matter what would be the consequences of his action. He would beg and beg for Singto till he'll be annoyed and just give in for Krist.

"I'm asking you, what are you doing here?" Singto asked again with a heavy heart and a straight face.

"I'm here to see you," Krist bite his lower lip till it bleeds. "I'm here to talk about everything, most especially about us."

"There's nothing to talk—"

"And I understand if you don't want to talk to me. But let me ask you one thing, are we okay?" Krist was smiling while his lip trembled in fear. He was afraid that Singto don't want him anymore in his life.

He couldn't accept it.

Krist badly needed Singto to complete him. Whatever it takes, he will begged Singto to stay beside him. 

"Krist?"

Krist quickly wiped away his tears as soon as he heard the voice of Singto's dad. He never showed anyone his weakness aside from Singto and it will remain that way.

The elder looks away before giving his dad a smile. "He will have dinner here and will go home afterwards."

And Krist was right, Singto avoided him for an unknown reason.
