Singto's parents, Krist's parents and Krist himself along with the fans gathered at the airport to say their goodbyes to Singto. A lot of banners and boards with encouragement words dedicated to Singto was there and Singto is very thankful for that. He wasn't an actor, not even close to being a kpop star, but the support he received from his fans were one of the reasons of his success. There were the media there too and somehow Krist was very careful with anything he was doing. Singto realises that and he just chuckled every time he saw Krist fidgeting awkwardly. Singto pulled him close when he saw Krist does that to make him feel better but he received countless amount of glares instead.

"Don't do that! Your fans and the media might get the wrong idea.." he said, slapping Singto's hands. Singto pouts with a frown on his face.

"What wrong idea? We are in fact dating, so what other idea would they get?" he said raising a brow at Krist. Krist face went flushed red and he didn't know how to hide his face.

A voice on the system called out for the passengers and Singto immediately looked at Krist. His mother was sad, of course, but she was used to it but Krist wasn't. Singto doesn't like the look on Krist's face. Singto went to hug everyone there including Krist's parents and they all give him encouraging words. When he stepped in front of Krist, the boy's eyes were already red and he can see hint of tears in the other's eyes. Singto smiled sadly and pulled him into a tight hug. They both didn't say anything and the people watching weren't either. Few seconds later, Singto pulled away to look at Krist's face. He wiped the tears that eventually falls and lets out a small smile.

"I'll come back. You're acting like I'm going forever." Singto said, trying to bring laughter to Krist's face but eventually got a kick on his legs instead.

"You're fine now that you can kick me." Singto said making the other pout. "I'll miss you." Singto said before pulling Krist into a hug again. They stayed like that until it was time for Singto to go.

Krist walked out of the classroom as soon as the bell rings. He need to go and find his reference in the library for his final project. Since the dateline is very near, he needed to focus on the paper more if he wants to graduate this year.

"Perawat!" he heard a voice calling for him and he quickly turn around. Off and God walking towards him with hands in their pockets. Krist nodded in response, asking what's the matter.

"You're going to the library again?" Off asked while they walk again, directing to the library. Krist nodded while still looking through his notes.

"When will you eat something at lunch?" God asked, concern was evident in his voice. Krist just look at him.

"What do you mean? I do eat." he replied and that reply earned a 'Are you kidding me?' look from both God and Off.

"If you call having a half sandwich with a bottle of water is lunch then there must be something seriously wrong with your brain and stomach." Off replied. God just nodded, agreeing with whatever Off just said. Krist sighed. He knows where this conversation is going. He doesn't feel like talking about this matter.

"And I dont want you to starve yourself. You know-"

"P Sing doesn't want me to overwork myself. Yes, I know that. You've been reminding me about this everytime you see me. I'm not overworking and I'm fine. I just need to finish my papers then I'll be good to have fun. P Sing doesn't have anything to be worried about and so does you guys." Krist said, cutting Off's words. He heard this for a zillion times already and he was tired of that. P Sing doesn't need to know that. He'll be perfectly fine when P Sing come back. Hearing that, God and Off looked at each other a few seconds before nodding.

"I'm going now." Krist said and he walked away after receiving nods from his friends. He went straight to the library and find a place to sit before going to look for his reference books.

"Krist, I'm going. Please lock up for me." Dash, the librarian said as he toss the key to Krist who skillfully caught it. Krist nodded and Dash waves goodbye before turning off one of the lights in front. Ever since Krist started his paper, he had gone home later than usual, which was what made his friends worries the most. He was working way too hard and they think it was because he was trying not to think about Singto too much. He was trying to keep himself busy so that he wouldn't have time to sit and think about anything else except for his papers and the extra trainings for the national team try outs in early November. He denied it, of course, because he doesn't feel like he was overworking himself.

When the clock strucks 11, Krist yawned and looked at the watch on his wrist. He decided to go home and rest for the day for that he has a new day tomorrow to work on the assignments again. That's it. That was his life after Singto went away. He was like a zombie but it doesn't really bother him so much.

The next day, Krist tried to open his eyes. He felt the world spinning around so fast when he tried to sit on the bed. He eventually falls back on the bed, massaging his temple as it was painfully aching. He felt like an elephant just kicked his head and use it as a football. He put his head on the pillow again and took a deep breath before trying again. He realise that it wasn't gonna work so he crawled to the other side of the bed to take pills and thanked his mom for nagging him to put a water bottle on his bedside table. After taking the pills, Krist went back to sleep.

Sounds of chatters in the room woke Krist up. Thankfully the pain went away and Krist could open his eyes and sit properly again. He saw his friends who circled him as he woke up.

"Are you okay?" Off was the first one to speak up. Krist smiled and nodded.

"I'm fine. Just a little headache but I'm fine now." He replied with a smile, looking at his friends. He is always thankful that he had such amazing friends that he could always rely on in his good and bad days.

"I called you millions of times, but you didn't answer. So I called your mom and then she told me you were sick."

"I told you you need to take it slow. You're overworking yourself and its not healthy.. You have to take care of yourself too." Off started nagging and the others just nodded, agreeing with whatever he said. Krist smiled again.

"I know you guys are worried, but I'm fine. It's nothing big." he said, defending himself. His friends rolled their eyes, ironically at the same time.

"If you say that sleeping for a whole day is nothing big, then you seriously have a major problem with your head. You should get it checked." Gunsmile speak up after being silent the whole time. His words bring frown to Krist forehead.

"What do you mean the whole day? Its only............." he stopped to look at his watch."..... 11. I've only been asleep for 3 hours since I woke up just now." His frowns got worse when his friends hit their foreheads. Krist doesn't really get the problem.

"Yeah, 11am, the next day. We've been here since yesterday and you've been sleeping since then. Your mom said you've been talking in your sleep but you never woke up. She had to call the doctor but luckily the doctor said you're just fatigue. You're too tired that's why you slept a lot." Off explains to the boy which makes Krist eyes widened in surprise. He took his phone next to his pillow and checked the date. His friends weren't messing with him. He did slept the whole day. Then he saw a water tube hanging beside his bed. He sighed and hit his forehead.

"Sorry. I didn't realise what I was doing." he apologised, feeling sorry for making his friends worry about him. If he's been sleeping a whole day without waking up yesterday, his mom and dad must've been so worried.

"Why are you apologising to us? You should be apologising to your poor body." Off said making Krist pout in annoyance.
