The night found Suyin sitting on the bed, her one hand lulling Honey to sleep and the other playing with the lamp switch. On-off. On-off. Wang Shi sighed, understanding what's keeping her awake. She's waiting for James. But not like he could say a word. He should not. It's the matter between two friends, let them be. Wish they solve it sooner for their peace of mind.

A shadow at the door caught his attention as James gingerly opened the door and peered inside, catching Suyin's immediate attention.

James hesitated, his one hand on the door before he walked with quiet steps and stood facing her. He was wearing loose fitted shorts and a V-neck t-shirt with holes around the collar, hair messy, several days worth of scruff, and shoelaces dragging on the floor at every step.

They stared at each other for a long before Suyin opened her arms wide and James sprinted towards her so hard that the bed shook.

He sniffed, head ducked to the crook of her neck and Suyin rubbed his back. ”Stupid, with whom were you hiding? Your Susu?”

He hugged her tighter. ”I'm sorry. I didn't wanted to add to your worries.”

She forced his face up and gave a light slap, to which Jamie brought his other cheek forward. She shoved him away, upset.

Jamie looked between sleeping Honey and Wang Shi and then picked Suyin in his arms to the wheelchair, taking her out of the room.

Behind them Wang Shi propped his head to check, a knowing smile curling his lips. Now that's what these two besties needed most. He pulled the blanket and returned to sleep. Surely, tonight, he and Honey would have to sleep without her.

They went to the terrace and Suyin insisted to ditch the wheelchair and sit with him on the floor, legs dangling from the space between the iron railings. She inhaled the fresh air. ”No matter whoever comes to my life, we are not changing, Jamie. Even when we'll be in the nineties, walking with sticks, I'll be the same Susu and you, my Jamie.”

”I know.” James faced her. ”Trust me, that's not the reason I was running from you. I just....” he sighs and grabbed her hand. He was too serious. ”Evan and I- we are no more together.”

Suyin felt the blood drain from her face. She had expected some problems between them, but breakup was definitely not on her list. ”Are you kidding me?”

”I wish.” He pulled his hand away from her, and moved his gaze at the never ending streak of lights ahead of him, ”I did everything in my power to save this relationship, but he doesn't want it anymore. I thought once this ends, we'll talk and sort things between us, but.... fu*k.... Nothing.”

”Damn, I had warned that bastard, yet he dares. I'm going to drag him back to the underworld cell and get his pen*s chopped.”

James looked up. ”What's with you and pen*s? Why do you target that particular organ--”

”Shut up,” she bit out. ”I'm serious. How can he ask for a breakup? What did he say?”

”That's the problem. He said nothing.” His eyes stung. ”Forget about saying a word, he didn't even bother to pay a look when we met again after months. Thinking he was feeling guilty, I went to talk but all he did was to avoid me and turn away.”

”How can that be? Evan joined hands with us and led us to Alpha's base when I told him that you were kidnapped.” she reasoned. ”Just think, why would he risk his life if it's not his love for you?”

”Then why is he not talking? Fine, I know he's vocally impaired and can't speak, but there are other ways too. But no! Instead of taking out a minute for me, he's busy with that man.”
