SIMGTO PULLED THAT door to the meeting room and made himself comfortable. His manger left him alone for a minute. He was looking at his phone and the clock at the same time, like he was obviously waiting for someone to arrive.

Minutes later, someone came in.

"Krist," Singto blurted out and having trouble suppressing his smile.

"Don't look at me like that," the other said shyly, trying to hide his tomato cheeks.

"Look at you, like what?" Singto teased the other.

He couldn't help it, but to drag the other and let him sit on the chair next to his. They were facing each other with tomato cheeks.

"Like you miss me so much."

"Why?"

"Because we were together yesterday and—"

"And we just made up yesterday as well," Singto pulled the other to his lap and caressed his soft cheeks with both hands. "Every second of the day, I'm missing you so much. I thought everything was just a dream, till you came and talk to me right now."

"Who told you that everything is just a dream? Yesterday was the best of the best moment of my life, you know." Krist wrappe his arms around Singto's neck and leaned forward to give the other a peck on the cheeks.

"Myself? Because I messed up, so bad that I'd lose you in my life. I realized that I cannot live my life right when you're not around. I see my future with you and I don't want to mess up again and again and again."

"And you won't,"

Singto nodded and leaned closer to hug the other. They stayed that way till the others arrive in the meeting room. The discussion began and all Singto could do was to hold hands with Krist and slightly pressed it to feel the other's presence.

It felt like a dream and no one could blame Singto for that. He fucked up and messed up everything till the world turned away and gave up on him.

But it gave him a second chance and Singto wanted to make everything right.

"The shoot will start next week, okay?"

Both of them nodded in unison before leaving the meeting room. They decided to visit their favorite coffee shop and just relaxed for a little bit before they got busy.

But this time, they're together.

"You're so silent," Krist said after sipping on his coffee.

"There's this question I badly want to ask you, Krist."

Krist forehead creased a little bit. "And what is that? Don't make me nervous, stupid!"

Singto's face became serious while heaving a small sigh. "It's in my mind lately, but I don't know if you're ready or not."

"You're making me nervous already!" Krist laughed while taking a bite on Singto's dessert.

"Can I ask you out? Just like what you told me, let's start anew. Will you date me again, Krist Perawat?"
