- Hey guys! What's going on? Your screams can be heard at the end of the hallway. - Max burst into the room first.

- Did he wake up? - Nat ran to the bed, grabbing Nhu's hand.

- Yeah... He woke up and started cursing me like there was no tomorrow... - Perth snorted.

- At least he didn't wish death upon you... Zee, your lover can show his claws... or rather, his little teeth. - Bible said sarcastically and extended his bitten hand towards Zee.

- Don't tell me that he bit you. Zee, you need to be careful because it seems like your man wants to taste someone else. - Neo laughed as he entered the room at just the right moment.

- P'Zee, I'm sorry, but we had to give him a sedative injection. I really didn't expect such a welcome.

- Don't worry. I don't blame you for it, I understand. Besides, the doctor himself said that something like this could happen. At this point, Nhu's memories are probably blending with the world of dreams. For now, no one truly knows what was going on in his head for the last month... The most important thing is that he woke up. - Zee approached NuNew, gently kissing him on the forehead.

(a few hours later...)

- Hia? - A quiet voice broke the prevailing silence in the room.

- Yes, my love? I'm here. Always by your side. - Zee gazed tenderly at the younger boy, delicately stroking the top of his hand.

- P', why are they all here? - NuNew pointed to the group of boys sitting in the room.

- Nhu, where do you think they should be now, hmm? Could you tell me?

- Bible in jail, Perth at the police station, and Neo in a Kilen's VIP room with a pervert guy, which taking him from behind... Why are they here?

- They are here because they're your friends. I am truly grateful that all those bad things you said about them a moment ago, you said to me in a whisper. It's good that they didn't hear it, because I know those words would've hurt them deeply. NuNew, you should know that since the day of your accident, we've been by your side every single day... All of us. P'Aof, Saint, and Mark were unable to come to see you today because they're working, but I assure you, that they also spent hours sitting here by your bedside.

- Saint is alive ?!

- Oh, babe! It seems like you've been locked in a dream nightmare during this time, but don't worry... In a few days, you'll regain full consciousness and remember everything. I know it's difficult for you to differentiate between dreams and reality now, but please just one thing. You have to trust me, okay?

- Hia, how did we meet?

- Well, that's actually a funny story... One day you joined our team and created quite a chaos in the kitchen. - Zee smiled brightly, remembering their first meeting.

- And what happened next? I remember that we went to the Cielo's boutique.  Do you remember what you did to me in the fitting room?

- Oh sweetheart, you looked so delightful back then. - Zee became lost in thought, sensually nibbling on his lip.

- Hey! I'm looking at your reaction and... P, you know what? If we both remembered what happened in the fitting room, it means that I'm telling the truth. We need to report to the police that Bible has escaped from prison, and Perth is truly a bad guy and-

-Darling, you should stop overthinking. Sweetheart... You've been part of our team for about five years now. I just want to remind you that you are a fantastic actor, and P'Aof takes wonderful care of us.

- No, Hia! P'Aof is a secret agent, I'm not an actor, but a member of a boyband.

- No, babe, you're mistaken. - Zee gently stroked the younger one's head.

- And right after we were at Cieloheart's, I took you on a bike ride as a form of revenge because you're scared to ride on bike since people from Kilen killed your boyfriend, I mean Saint. And ever since then, you have trauma and-

-After we left Cielo's boutique, you were hit by a car and ended up in the hospital. We were at the boutique to purchase suits for our friends' wedding. NuNew, you should know that Max and Nat are engaged and were supposed to get married last week. They postponed their wedding until you recover. And I'm begging you, never say again that Saint is my boyfriend. You know well that Saint and I had the lead roles in "Why R U". Ever since then, I fear for my life because Perth wants to kill me whenever I'm within one meter of Saint. I'm too young to die, and besides, I want to keep living by your side for a while longer. - Zee placed a kiss on Nunew's lips.

- P', I will ask one more time... Did someone kill someone?

- Don't be silly! No one has died. And our friends really didn't do anything wrong. You have to believe me... Give yourself some time, soon you will understand everything on your own.

- Hia, can you promise me something? - Nhu looked into Zee's eyes.

- NuNew, I will do anything for you.

- Promise me that we will go to Spain, sit on a bench, and drink wine while watching the stars...

- There are so many countries in Europe. Why did you choose this one?

- In my alternate, dreams world, you and I have very pleasant memories from Spain... I will show them to you if you want...
