AS SOON AS Oakes reached his room, he closed the door and broke down in tears. He tried his best to keep quiet, and to calm down a little.

He wasn't even sure if it happened or not. But the scene itself scared him. He was confused, and broken.

He sat on the bed slowly, hugging a pillow, trying to think.

A few moments later, that felt like hours to him, the door knocked.
He got up to open it, slightly feeling heavy.

And was met by Mal's teary eyes as she stood on the other side of the door, trying to think of something soothing to say. He threw himself in her arms immediately, hugging her as he seeked comfort.

She hugged him back, rubbing his hair and torso.
"I'm so sorry, baby.."

He barely nodded. The pair continued to hug for a long moment. Then, as soon as they let go, Mal smiled reassuringly, and offered to stay with him for a while.

He happily agreed, and invited her in.

"You know I didn't cheat on you, right ?" He promised, breaking away from the long hug.

"Yeah. I figured." Mal spoke surprisingly.
"What ? Why didn't you talk to me then..?"

His eyes widened at her words.
"I was planning to talk to you today, but, my dear brother surprised me with this uncensored version thing and I thought that it was more important."

He shook his head in disagreement.
"Nothing is more important than us.."

She hugged him again as a stray tear streamed down his face.

"How did you know ?"

"Well, someone sent me a direct message on Instagram and told me that they were the girl in that picture with you and that she didn't even know you."

He nodded through the hug.

"What about us, then ?"
He asked, referring to themselves.

"What about us ?" She replied dumbly, not understanding his words.

"You don't understand, do you ? Don't you get it ?"

A minute of silence passed. She stared into his blue eyes for a moment, a confused look planted on her face, before she awkwardly looked away.

"Understand..what ?"

He lifted her chin up, making her look at him. He leaned in closer, before there were only inches telling them apart.

"I'm in love with you."

Then their lips connected.

Finally.

Finn quickly got up, tired of the horrifying movie, then went to his room, which still had packed luggages lying around.

He sighed as he closed his door, then went to a big luggage in the corner.

He started to empty it quickly, trying to forget and think about something else other than the movie.

He went through his pile of clothes, pulling each piece out and throwing it onto his bed.

Before he felt something cold press against his hand. Something different.

He searched through the luggage curiously. Until something caught in his hand.

He raised it to his eye level so he can look at it clearly.

It was a photograph of a lady and man together, as if they were a couple. The lady was sitting on a chair, while the man stood next to her, wrapping his arms around her torso.

It was a face of a man he recognized very well.

The director's.
