END PART I - X

"Ohm, are you sure you are ready?" Boun asked his cousin who is sitting at the couch with Fluke in his arms. Earlier, they weren't successful on calming Fluke down and the younger fell asleep while being cradled by Ohm on his lap.

"I am ready." said Ohm softly

"We have known each other since we were kids. You are welcome to cry in front of me, you know that." Boun stated making Ohm laugh.

"... This is painful. I admit this is painful. Of course it is painful, who wouldn't be in pain when you know that the one you love will leave and you will only be left with your memories together? But I don't regret it, Boun. No, I never regretted it... no matter how much this is hurting me right now I never regret loving him and showing him my love." Ohm said, voice breaking at the end.

In a whisper, he added as he pulled the sleeping Fluke tight, hugging him tighter. "I never regretted loving him. And I will hold onto Fluke until I cannot do it anymore. This is a one of a kind love, Boun, our love is a one of a kind. He is someone I am thankful for. Whoever kind of God gave him to me, I am very much grateful to them for allowing me to meet Fluke and for allowing me to be the one that he allowed himself to love." He said, voice going soft at the end.

"You are a blessing to him, Ohm." Boun murmured with sad eyes as his cousin shed a tear that he never allowed Fluke to see.

"And he is too to me, Boun, he is a blessing to me too."

"I am sure Uncle Bosston didn't mean he will disappear as soon as he and grandma will meet." Boun mumbled, trying to sparkle Ohm's hope and his hope that everything will be as organized as he planned, or maybe that is just his Boss personality coming out, the one that doesn't like unexpected things to happen.

"We don't know for sure." Ohm replied, shaking his head. He doesn't want to keep on hoping because prolonging what will definitely happen feels like an agony to him right now. He is already bracing himself for the inevitable, hoping for more time with the younger will give Ohm more time to be together with Fluke but he doesn't know if he could let go of the younger then, he doesn't know if he could still choose to be silent with his wish then.

Boun can only gave him an understanding smile and walked away. He decided to just leave Ohm and Fluke alone and wait for Uncle Boston and his grandmother outside the house.

He cannot help but be emotional.

Boun sat on the threshold and covered his eyes with his hands as he tried to stop his tears from forming. He is trying to stop his eyes from tearing but cannot stop his lips from wobbling. Boun heavily exhaled and sniffled.

Wiping his tears, he looked up and stared at the blue sky. "What a vast blue sky... it has been a beautiful day... sunny all day. But not in this house anymore. Once the sun sets for today, the sun in this house will go away too..." Boun murmured to himself, keeping his voice from hitching. He was still trying to keep himself check when he was startled out of his reverie. "They are here." He whispered when he heard a car honking. Boun exhaled with a shout as he steeled himself and started jogging towards the parking space, using his remote to open their gate.

Boston was the first one to get out of the car as soon as the car was parked inside. When Boun was about to help his grandma, a nurse came out of the car, holding an IV drip. Surprised, he waited till he can see the person that Bosston and the nurse is currently helping out of the car. "Grandma!" Boun exclaimed upon seeing the condition of his grandmother. "Wha- but how? You were still fine when I visited you a few days ago!"

Samantha softly smiled at her grandson. Boston and the nurse slowly walked together with her towards the grandchild that she has doted on since his birth. "Forgive grandma for not telling you." Samantha said, cupping Boun's face. "But before grandma leaves, I have something I need to do." She added, glancing at the house that Boun and Ohm made as their own home. "Look at this. My boys did a really good job on beautifying the area."

"Grandma, what is happening? Mom and Dad didn't say anything about-" Boun asked, voice breaking at the thought that his grandma is here not to visit them but to say goodbye and to make her heart at ease.

"Do not get angry at your parents. It was me who told them not to tell you." Samantha said. Holding his grandson's hand, he added "Grandma doesn't have that long to live. And has been for a while now. But I asked your parents not to tell you and Ohm because I do not want the both of you to use all of your time to babysit me. By the way, grandchild of mine, you have to follow Ohm's step too! Your cousin is in a relationship already! Grandma can clearly see he is very much in love! When will you have your own? I was hoping I can attend your wedding but noooo! You disregard all your dates! But it's alright, because you have your own timeline to take."

Boun bit his lower lip, not answering his grandma. He only lifted his grandmother's hand and kissed her fingers. "What do you have to do then? Tell me and I will help you with it."

"Sorry, Boun. But you can't help because this is grandma's problem. I have prolonged it for 60 years already, my grandchild. I have to face my deepest regret now... I know 60 years is a very long time... at least allow me to reminisce about the old days as I stroll around the house."

"Young Boun, you can go ahead if you want to. Madam wants to look at the garden and at the plants at the back first." Boston suggested with Samantha nodding her agreement. In response, Boun gave them a tight smile before turning around, only to immediately dash to the house.

"Look at him go, Boston. But I guess you must know something! That he must have remembered something that he didn't want me to see." Samantha commented at the sudden rush action of his grandson, laughing. Bosston only smiled at him and lead her to the garden.

Boun rushed inside the house, running to the stairs not even stopping until he reach the upper floor where his cousin is. He kneeled at the last step, gasping for breath as he caught his cousin's gaze. Unconsciously, Ohm tried to hide the sleeping Fluke from Boun. Seeing the action and noticing that the two are still in the same position he left them earlier, Boun cannot help but fisted his hands.

"Why? Why does it have to be this way, Ohm?" Boun sorrowfully asked. "Why do we have to lose them both?" He added, eyes locked on the sleeping person within his cousin's embrace.

"Who are you talking about?" Ohm asked at the same, another voice asked, "Why are you crying, Boun?"

Fluke surprised the two cousins with his sudden question when he was still supposed to be sleeping. He ignored their surprised looks as he burrowed his face on Ohm's chest like a cat before sitting up straight to look Boun in the eyes.

"You are awake." Ohm said, grabbing the younger on the waist while Boun stared back at Fluke.

"Why are you crying?" Fluke asked again. He has always have a soft spot for Boun. No matter how much he likes riling him up, Boun releases a familiar aura to Fluke, an aura of family. He is family to Fluke. Knowing now that he is Samantha's and Prem's grandson just made that feeling stronger. So he is quite protective of him too. "What is wrong, Boun?"

🎶《Kim Kyung Hee - And I'm here》🎶

"Why do we have to lose you both?" Boun whispered. Fluke stared at him for a minute before he abandoned his sitting position on Ohm's lap (but he took Ohm's hand and dragged him with him as they walked to Boun)

And I'm here just, just like I used to be

We were here in old days with you, with me

"I am sorry, Boun." Fluke whispered back, patting the kneeling young man on the head. "It is not wrong to ask why they should go and wish for your loved ones to not go, but when you think about it clearly, will it really be alright to hold onto them when what they want is to finally take a rest? When it is time for your grandmother to go, you have to assure her that you will be fine, that she does not have to worry about you. Remind her that you love her and let her rest. But she is still around, right? Then, don't cry. Let her see you smile."

All my fears have gone when you whisper to me

No matter how near or far apart

Boun chuckled and took the hand that didn't stop patting his head. He then grabbed Fluke towards him and pulled him in a hug. "If you were alive, you are my grandfather. I might even be more closer to you than my grandparents. But I am very glad... very grateful that your time was frozen. I know, it's wrong for me to think that way but... it happened. Your time was frozen and then we met.

Thank you, Fluke. For being a friend and a brother to me... for being a family to me. And I am also thankful for you... for meeting my cousin and for loving him. Thank you for letting yourself be happy this time around. Thank you for the memories and the time we shared together. Thank you so much." Boun said, voice breaking as he started shedding tears. "Please forgive my grandma.

She grew up already... she changed and learned from her experiences, they both have with grandpa... and become more open-minded as time passed them by. She taught my mother how to be open-minded and never box herself onto what society wants her to be... she taught my father not to disregard his family for the sake of work and money. She taught me well... she taught me and Ohm well. I am proud of my grandma, Fluke. Whatever she did wrong back then, she learned from it already."

"I am glad. Listening to you right now meant that Sammy and Prem were able to have and raised a warm, understanding, and loving family that they have always wanted to have. Thank you for being a loving grandson for Sammy, Boun." Fluke softly replied, rubbing the older's (his grandson's) back.

"Thank you too, for being a good brother to me. Thank you for not hesitating on scolding me, thank you for your advices and for always reminding me that I deserve the love I am receiving right now. I am glad too... Did you know? To be able to meet you... to meet Ohm, gives me so much happiness I cannot contain myself but be selfish sometimes." Letting go of Boun, Fluke wiped his tears as he stand, turning to face the person he wants to shower with love and only love, not pain.

When you feel so lonely, I'll be here to shelter you

(Have you completely erased me, from your memories from yours)

"What is it?" Ohm asked, smiling back at the person who is trying so hard to keep his smile on his face. "If it's too much already, let go of your smile. You can hide in my arms." Ohm added softly, opening his arms to accept the person who rushed to hug him. Ohm exhaled hard, burying his face on the younger's hair. "I am sure grandma is taking her time on strolling right now and Uncle Boston is making it even longer, so take your time." Ohm murmured, his hold tightening when Fluke started shaking from stifling his tears.

"I will not cry because Ohm is not letting his tears fall and keeping himself strong right now. So I should keep it together too." Fluke replied, voice breaking but no tears escaping his eyes.

"Who says I am not crying right now?" Ohm watery laughed. "No, don't look." He added, keeping Fluke's face buried on his chest when the younger tried to look at him. "You cannot look at me now, or I might not let you go. And I do not want that. Everything is already in place, don't let me go against my promise now." He added, sniffing Fluke's hair before burrowing his face on the younger's neck.

"And you can't go against your word." Fluke replied, finally letting his tears fall when he felt his neck getting wet with Ohm's tears.

When you feel so lonely, I'll be here, here for you

(While I still feel your breeze, holding your hands again)

"Yes. Let me just-" Ohm paused to place several small kisses oh Fluke's head and neck before continuing "Let me just hold you."

"Do you know how much thankful I am for you? How lucky I am that I have met you? Do you know that every night I wish for you to only have happiness in your life and not pain?"

"Don't say that... because when you love, you will have to feel pain too." Ohm cuts in.

"I know, I know. And I am thankful. Grateful for you and your love." Fluke paused and laughed, adding "Back then in the past, I did not allow myself to fall and be in love... too many things to consider, too many consequences to think of, and look at me, who will choose someone like me? I have too many worries within me, too many things to do and to take care of I do not have time for myself.

Now... now that I was able to experience falling in love. Now that I was able to experience being in love, I have discovered a lot about myself. And that is thanks to you. You never failed to make me feel you love and care for me through all the little things that you do for me... the considerations and reminders you always say... the consistency and effort you always make... all of these made me realize that there might be another reason why I am still around the living until now... Do you know how much I love you?"

"Yes, and do you know how much I love you?" Ohm asked this time.

Fluke replied in a hiccup "Yes. But I do not know if I was able to let you feel how deep my love is for you."

Ohm chuckled when he heard that. "You are wrong with what you are thinking." He softly replied, emphasizing his words. "Why do you think I am so in love with you? It's because of you." He said, rubbing the younger's back. "It's because you make me feel loved. It's because you make me feel important... it's because you make me feel happy. My heart always quivers when I see you and it heightens with the way you look at me.

There are times when you look at me that I have the urge to just squeeze you in a hug and never let go and times when I just want to keep you in bed all day. Don't laugh, it's the truth."

"You are teasing me now!" Fluke exclaimed, finally able to look Ohm in the eyes. The grin he is wearing slowly turned to a soft smile as he started tracing the older's face with his fingers.

If I could fly above the clouds like all the birds

And I could hold you for a while to let you feel my pulse

Still here, all alone

"I love you."

Ohm's eyes sparkled at the phrase and in a gentle tone, that people has considered as Ohm's way of talking to Fluke, he replied "And I love you"

My whole life and all my heart

You're my whole life and all my heart

"Wait for me, please." Fluke said with tears falling down on his face. Realizing he shouldn't ask that because Ohm has the right to move forward, he tried again. Rephrasing his words, Fluke asked, trying to hide his doubt and hesitance. "Will you wait for me?"

Ohm dropped a kiss on his red nose in response and added, "Do not doubt and believe me. I will wait for you."

And I'm here

Home, home

With you

With me

"Boun, Ohm? Where are the both of you, your grandma just finished looking at the garden you both put so much effort in! I am eating the fruit of your labor too!" Samantha's voice rang out downstairs. They entered through the kitchen door, hence the lookout-Boun didn't saw them entering from the front door.

"We are upstairs, grandma! You wait there, we are coming!" Boun hurriedly replied, exchanging glances with Ohm and Fluke.

Ohm took Fluke's hand and kiss it and pulled the younger into a hug before he released him, saying. "I will be right behind you. Go and make peace with the person who has been waiting to be forgiven by you for a long time."

"Ohm, my dear Ohm will you let grandma see your lover now? I want to–" Samantha stopped in her track when she saw her grandson walking towards her. But it's not her grandson who stopped her, it is the person right behind her grandson.

She didn't notice him at first but when Boun stopped in front of her and moved to the side, a smiling face greeted Samantha. "No... this cannot be. Are you here to guide me back home, brother Fluke?" Samantha tearfully asked, a smile blooming in her face. Fluke only continued smiling that gentle and loving smile of his that she has been longing to see again as he continued walking towards Samantha. "Are you here for me?"

"Yes, my Princess. I am here for you, to stop you from hurting and to free you from the past." Fluke replied softly

"Why?" Samantha asked as she started crying "Why are you looking at me the same way when all I ever gave you was stress and heartache? Why, brother Fluke? When I rejected and pushed you away? When I- I"

"Ma'am, calm down. You are going to have an attack if you continue this." The nurse informed her, turning to Fluke she said, "I am sorry Sir but making her feel miserable is not good right now"

"He is not making grandma miserable/ Brother Fluke is not making me miserable/Sir Fluke is not making Ma'am miserable." Four voices chorused in reply.

Fluke blinked at Ohm and Boun who immediately went beside him; Ohm putting a hand on his waist and Boun on his shoulder. While Samantha and Bosston frowned at the nurse, stepping forward to shield Fluke from her.

The nurse who felt she is getting scolded, bowed her apology. And kept her head low because she still can feel their eyes at her even after saying her apoligies twice.

"Stop that. Be good to others." Fluke said, scolding the four of them who cleared their throats in reply but didn't let go of their protective stance around him. "Come on, the three of you! Sammy needs to take a seat too."

"Ah, brother Fluke... I am dreaming right now, right? The kind of dream where you are going to take me home but in reality it is only my soul that you are talking to? But why do I feel like everyone is real, even my grandsons are real?" Samantha asked, turning to Fluke and slowly reaching for his hand.

"...Brother Fluke..." a tearful Samantha said, grabbing the warm hand that she is holding. Laughing and at the same time crying, she added "I can hold you. Are you really the person that I knew and grew up with? Or you are now someone with the same soul and face as him... because this just cannot be real. I can touch you, I can see you, I can hear you, I can hold you" Samantha commented, pulling Fluke to a hug.

On the side, the nurse was about to comment again for the wellbeing of her patient when she suddenly lost consciousness. Boun who tried to catch the nurse was startled when two fairy lights appeared and they slowly transferred the nurse to the couch. After depositing the nurse, Earth went near Boun and whispered to him, "Leave the both of them alone. Bystanders should remain at the couch."

"Why are you even here?" Boun grumbled

"Boston called for us." Earth solemnly replied. "He said the time has come already, old friend."

It took Boun and Earth to finally convince Ohm on going with them to the couch. But Fluke was so intune to Ohm's presence that he only noticed Ohm leaving and not the happenings before that. Ohm has to give Fluke a reassuring smile and telling him he will be near while the younger is struggling on not toppling over because of the old woman currently hugging her.

"Brother Fluke, please forgive me. After all these years, I couldn't forgive myself on what happened to you."

"There is nothing to forgive." Fluke shook his head, rubbing Samantha's back. "You didn't do anything wrong, Sammy."

"No, you can't say that. Why are you still so kind when we weren't there to save you? If we haven't fought! If that day I went back home immediately, you wouldn't die!"

"We are not sure if what happened is truly an accident or it is a happening that must happen. Back then, when I felt myself dying... I felt free. I felt myself becoming light... and it might have been my only wishful thinking when I thought all of you will be alright without me. I didn't know that I hurt everyone with my passing. I didn't know that I put all of you in so much pain that you have to carry it throughout your lives. I have been here in this house for so long but I only recently remembered everything. Please forgive brother Fluke for the pain that I unknowingly caused you."

"Did we keep you here, brother Fluke? Did we imprison you here when you were supposedly to be in peace already?" Samantha asked, letting Fluke go and look him in the eyes. "I remembered Tayn's words. He kept on reminding us that we have to let you go for your sake. Even Prem reminded me that I have to forgive myself and let you go too.. but it's easier to say than doing it! Because the last time I saw you, I was shouting at you, I was so angry at you and you only look at me with tired eyes. I was not considerate and did not ask you for explanation. I shut you out and leave... how can I, how can I go to you and see you after saying those words to you?"

"Sam..."

"I worked hard, I changed my way of thinking. Your warmth and views in life remained in us and I instilled it to my daughter's and to my grandchildren. I tried keeping you alive with everything that I do. But still, I cannot forgive myself, no. I cannot let you go either. No, not until I can see you and make peace with you. But... but when I found out it's only a matter of time before I leave this world too, I realized it is better to finally face you and this house before meeting you on the other side. So that when you and Prem come and get me, I can only smile and hug you both..."

"Why do you keep on asking for forgiveness, Sam? You just got lost for a while but you didn't forget to look at the stars to guide you back. If the stars can wait for you to find your way back, so can I Samantha. In the first place, I did not hate you... because I understand why you reacted that way. You were desperate, Sammy. A big opportunity came for you and you were desperate to grab it, to finally let us see how much you have grown. You want us to see you, to be proud of you. Part of me was even at fault because the three of us sheltered you and tried to give you the things that you asked from us.

Things did not go as you planned but you learned from it anyway. You learned that a dream is not enough, opportunities will greatly help you, but only when you work hard for it that you will be able to reach it and keep it.

But if you really wanted me to say it, then I forgive you. I have forgiven you the day you left the house. Because no matter what, you are my family."

Samantha suddenly fell on her knees, alerting the three men and Fluke. "Sam!" Fluke exclaimed, kneeling in front of the old woman who is uncontrollably sobbing.

Boun and Ohm was about to run when Earth held them in place, stopping them. "Don't. We are keeping all of you invisible right now. Let them settle this with just the two of them. And your grandmother cannot handle more surprises. Think about her too. And believe in Fluke, he can handle this. Because for your grandmother, this is just a dream." Earth informed them.

Boun glanced at the two fairies floating in front of them, their faces clearly concentrating hard, stance rigid. "But–"

"We'll keep your grandmother safe. Because my old friend won't allow anything happening to her. Or else his wish will change."

"Since when did the three of you discussed about this?" Ohm asked, pertaining to the two fairies and Fluke.

"I asked them days ago when Sir Fluke lost consciousness. Knowing Ma'am Samantha's real condition, I asked them for help." Boston said, indirectly telling them Fluke has nothing to do with their plan.

"You do not have to worry, the both of you will have enough time for a final goodbye." Kao added

"But my grandma!" Boun said, worried.

"No need, Fluke was able to calm her down. Look." Earth softly replied.

Indeed, the old woman has stopped sobbing now that she is in Fluke's embrace. Being in the warmth that she has dearly missed and thought she won't be able to experience again, Samantha lost consciousness with a gentle smile on her face.

"Alright, we can go now." Earth murmured, exhaling heavily as Kao rubbed his back, praising him for being able to concentrate hard and for a long time. "Thanks for the compliment. For my old friend, I can concentrate hard. I can lift a tree if I concentrate hard too." Earth replied, leading the way back to Fluke.

"Sir Fluke, let us carry Ma'am Samantha and the nurse back to the car. My son is waiting outside and he will be the one who will drive them back to the hospital."

"But Bosston, you are already an old man." Fluke worriedly said, adding "Have Boun and Ohm to help you." While both Boun and Ohm wants to help, they also do not want to leave Fluke behind.

Seeing this, Earth said "No need, we can manage. I have my minions with me."

"Who are you calling your minions?" Fairy Plan suddenly appeared. Seeing the glare that Kao gave him, he fluttered behind Boston and nervously exclaimed. "Hello, Kao. Come on, we have work to do!" After he said that, 5 more fairy lights appeared, joining Kao and Earth.

"Handle grandma with utmost care. Oh, and the nurse." Plan instructed. Saluting Fluke first before they helped Bosston on lifting the grandmother to her wheelchair that Bosston has prepared. After that, the fairies carried the nurse. It is a funny sight to see the nurse on a standing position but feet not reaching the ground as if being carried by two invisible man with how she has both her arms open. Any other day they would be laughing at the sight, but they do not have the courage to laugh at the moment.

Fluke gave them an encouraging smile as they ushered the both unconscious person outside the house. "How are you feeling?" Earth asked, dashing to Fluke's hair, patting him on his head.

"Light. And free. I have felt this before, old friend... I have felt this before after talking with Tayn, and then with Prem. And unlike before, I cannot feel the invisible pull that I always felt when I am in this house. I can finally go now... Earth."

"Hey..." Ohm cuts in, taking Fluke's hand to hold. "Do you want to go outside? At the garden?"

"...yes" Fluke replied, interlocking his fingers with Ohm's. Earth flew away from them then and stood beside Kao, biting his lips to stop himself from chatting... and wailing.

"Hey, Fluke." Boun called as they started walking to the door, "Let's be real brothers next time."

Fluke gave a watery laugh as he answered, "Sure! As long as you're not cousins with Ohm... the both of you must visit Sammy afterwards, alright? Keep her company, she will be glad."

"We will." Boun replied, clearing his throat when his voice cracked.

Fluke then glanced at the person walking beside him who kept his silence throughout his and Boun's conversation. Leaning on Ohm's shoulder, Fluke tightened his hold on his hand and murmured "Let us not say goodbye but See you next time." Ohm hummed in reply and dropped a kiss on his forehead.

The three of them were strolling in the garden, waiting for Boston to come back. No one dared to break the silence, as if breaking the silence will shatter the illusion that they engulfed themselves with; that they are normally –usually, any other day– casually strolling in the garden right now.

🎶《Time forgets》🎶

But the presence of Boston waiting at the end of the garden is a reminder on what to come next. "Thank you for your hard work." Boston commented as soon as they reached him, bowing low to the very first friend he had made. And in the gentlest tone that he ever used, he said "May you finally rest in peace."

Fluke offered his free hand to Bosston for a handshake. "Thank you for being with me all this time, Boston. You have been a great help and a great guide to me even though you are vague sometimes."

Gripping Fluke's hand, Bosston softly replied, "It is my pleasure to help the person who has been always there for my father, always ready to help even when you have forgotten your memories. It only shows how good your soul is. Thank you for everything you have done to us, Sir Fluke." He paused to stare at Fluke. With a hoping smile, he added "Until we meet again."

Fluke smiled, and started chuckling before he was suddenly pushed forward, a muffled thump on his back. Fluke was about to turn around when a gibberish sound was heard. Not being able to hear clearly the blabbering of the small being who won't let go of his back, Fluke said with a chuckle "Old friend, I cannot understand a word of what you are saying right now. Get off my back so I can hear you and come up here so I can see you too." He felt Earth shaking his head as an answer to him.

"Hello, Fluke." Kao suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Hello, Kao. Will you please ask Earth to face me too? We both know he listens to you." Fluke said, smiling at the person who is giving him a sad smile.

"The time has come for you to go. You have done a lot of things for the both of us, thank you."

"I cannot think of any good things I have done for the both of you. My presence only brought you trouble but everything turned out alright in the end." Fluke replied, tilting his head on the side.

Kao shook his head, disagreeing on his statement. "I have to disagree with you because your presence gave us a friend for a lifetime. Your situation is one of a kind and I am grateful to be able to be part of your journey." With utmost respect and gratefulness in his voice, Kao bowed to Fluke. "Thank you for always being there for Earth, for accepting him and not pushing him away, for understanding him and for being his listening ear. Thank you for supporting him and motivating him. He is still stubborn, but his heart and mind is on the right path, do not worry about him anymore."

"Yes, he has you now. And do not forget you can always seal the house when he is being stubborn, you know.. husband and all–"

"Stop gossiping about me!" Earth exclaimed, floating in the space between Fluke and Kao.

"There you are!" Fluke exclaimed, smiling brightly.

"I was trying to send you with a hug! This is why I do not want the both of you to be in the same space!"

Kao rubbed Earth's arm as he replied, "Come on, you have to properly say goodbye. There are still people waiting after you."

"But Fluke already knows! I have been telling him everytime I visit him!" Earth exclaimed... then he started wailing..."You have to always remember me! Forget about Boun, it's us who should be brothers next time! But that means you cannot be with Ohm because I am a fairy and you will be a fairy so maybe if we make Ohm a fairy too–" Kao nudged Earth, stopping him from his fantasies. "Oh, sorry. I love you, Fluke. Thank you for being my friend."

"There, there" Fluke whispered, gently touching Earth's head. "Even though I am a different being, thank you for allowing me to be your friend... and for accompanying me all these years." He added with a teary smile.

"Alright, Boun's turn." Earth suddenly said, sniffling.

"I am good, we have already talked. I have already said my goodbye earlier." Boun replied. "Why don't you start talking now, Ohm?" He added, urging his cousin who hasn't said a word yet. "Or do you want to stay silent until the end?"

Ohm shook his head as he pulled the hand he is still holding tight. Fluke went to him freely, accepting the hug that Ohm immediately gave him. In response, Fluke burrowed his face on the older's chest.

"Hey–" Ohm started but cleared his throat when his voice cracked. Immediately, Fluke whimpered hearing Ohm's voice. "Sorry, please don't cry." Ohm hurriedly added, exhaling and blinking his tears away.

Fluke hurriedly grabbed Ohm's back, clutching his shirt tight as he tried to keep his tears at bay. Deeply breathing to calm himself, Fluke said, "I know this is selfish for me to say, but please... wait for me. I hope you will wait for me."

Ohm tightened his grip around Fluke, pulling him closer to him. He then whispered on the younger's ear. "Do you want to hear my selfish wish right now?"

"Yes" Fluke said, voice cracking. "Just this once, let's be selfish together."

"Please come back. You are not a dream, right? You are real, right? Please... come back to me already. Don't leave me." Ohm replied. When the younger started shaking in his hold, he added "I am sorry."

"No, no" Fluke mumbled, rapidly shaking his head. "Do not apologize. It should be me who should apologize because I am leaving you behind with nothing to hold on to."

"Don't say that..." Ohm replied, kissing the younger's forehead before pressing him back on his neck again. "You have given me many memories I can hold on to."

Suddenly Fluke started sobbing. Ohm tried to calm him down while Boston, Kao, and Earth stared at them with sad eyes.

Boun, who stayed at the side, saw how Earth looked at Boston with pleading eyes but the caretaker firmly shook his head. "What is it?" Boun curiously asked when Earth turned to Kao for a comforting hug. But before any of them can answer Boun, Fluke is starting to get translucent. "It's starting."

Hearing Boun's words, Earth cannot stop himself from wailing, "At least tell us how before you go! Do not do this to us! You cannot just leave and take it all away! You cannot just leave without telling us how to remember you!"

"What... what do you mean?" Boun asked cautiously. Looking at Earth and glancing at Fluke who is now fully back to his translucent state, Ohm's arms finally going through the younger's body.

Fluke stepped back from Ohm, tears still running on his face, his eyes never leaving the older's eyes. Without turning around to look at Earth, he answered "Just hold on to them tightly... tuck them in your heart. You might not remember but the faintest presence will remain."

Fluke watched as Ohm's eyes widened in understanding, "No!"

At the same time Boun exclaimed, "Why? Is him disappearing not enough?!"

The younger floated towards Ohm and left a feathery kiss on his lips before everything went dark.

As night slowly covers the city, a phenomenon has happened somewhere.

In a house outside the city, pictures of a certain person slowly disappeared from their picture frames; solo pictures have disappeared leaving a blank frame behind, the group pictures and couple pictures look strange with the missing piece that was supposed to be on the center. A physical album owned by the downstair resident has been left behind half blank, the other half of it is filled with pictures of the upstair resident and of him.

Pictures from phones have also disappeared, an album was immediately wiped out, the name of the album will not make sense to the owner of the phone anymore. Messages are gone, the call logs are all deleted, all of his traces are rapidly disappearing.

People who have met him have forgotten about him too.

Two people stopped talking about their Boss's lover and backtracked when they cannot remember what they were talking about, deciding to change the topic instead of trying to remember their topic beforehand.

The only thing that remained behind are the objects, which will confuse the owner of the room upstairs. Things in the house will confuse the owner downstairs too. They will try to remember how they got the things, But they will not be able to remember.

A new day has started. The sun has already risen but the occupants of the house are still in deep slumber. Their usual alarm rang at 7am, waking the both of them up.

Boun was disgruntled hearing the alarm as if it has been so long since he had last heard it when in fact he has been listening to it for years. For a second, he thought about someone and his heart felt heavy on his chest but then it was gone in a instant and he cannot remember why he feels like mourning.

Ohm woke up feeling unwell but he cannot remember being sick the day before. Maybe it is the result of always sleeping late, because he kept on bringing his work at home and instead of resting, he is working till late in the evening. He stared at the ceiling for a moment, feeling empty inside before Boun opened the door of his room unannounced. His cousin is still on his pajamas, with bedhair and toothbrush hanging on his mouth. "Get up already, Ohm. We are going to visit grandma today, we promised hi–" Boun paused, frowning a little before he shook his head in confusion and added, "We promised grandma that we are going to visit today."

"It's not grandma, Boun, it was– I don't remember."

"Hey! We just talked to grandma yesterday! And you already said yes, you better not say you are not feeling well right now! Grandma has been looking forward meeting you and– nonsense, what am I thinking? You? Having a lover?" Boun laughed, not affected with the glare Ohm send his way. "I think I need my coffee. ASAP."

"Then get out of my room and make your own coffee! I feel unwell."

"Do not make excuses!" Boun groaned, adding "This is because you keep on working and working and working! If only there was someone who can control you and teach you how to balance your time..."

Ohm only rolled his eyes as he get up and shooed his cousin away. "Get out. Finish brushing your teeth first. Let me take a shower real quick." Boun left his room with a nod and a thumbs up before he walked towards his bathroom.

Ohm casts a glance at his coffee table and saw two frames that he didn't remember putting there. Though he did remember buying them but not the memory of taking the pictures in the frame... Since when did he took photos while leaning on his side? Confusion marred his face but he let it go as soon as he entered the bathroom. His vision was solely focus on going to the shower stall and on taking a shower that he did not even notice everything was a set inside his bathroom.

Downstairs, Boun is staring on his fridge. There are many cute things stuck on his fridge; cute cartoons like Pooh and piglet, Line characters, and there was even Molang and Piupiu! "Hmm? How can I name them all?" Boun confusedly asked himself before reaching for the note that said it was his turn to cook. "Maybe, it was Uncle Boston...? No, Bah. Maybe this is a prank from one of them. Yes, that must be! Then, just you wait, Mark! Or maybe this is even Jesse's work... I will not let any of you visit me again!" Boun grumbled, opening his fridge and surprising himself how full the fridge is. "Oh, right. I went grocery shopping the day before..." Seeing the many choices of ingredients to cook but not knowing what to choose, Boun chose the easiest one; eggs.

Right on time, Ohm came down when Boun was finished cooking and finally setting up the table. "Do we have a guest?" Ohm asked, confused.

"Too early for us to have a guest, why?" Boun replied, taking a seat.

"You prepared for three people." Ohm replied, taking his seat on the opposite side of Boun.

"Oh. I did not realize it. I thought... right, Uncle Boston's schedule is not today." Boun murmured, not taking the extra away and just focused on his food. "Just leave it there, I will eat the extra."

"No. It's here on my side so it is my share." Ohm replied, taking the plate away from Boun's reach.

"I didn't know you are that hungry, Ohm." Boun grumbled back, cutting his scrambled egg in half.

"It is his share so it's mine."

"Of course, why did I forget." Boun replied, rolling his eyes.

It took them a few seconds to understand what they were saying before the both paused and looked at each other, questioning each other at the same time.

"Who?" Boun asked, confused

"What?" Ohm asked, also confused.

"Nothing. Let's just finished breakfast so we can visit grandma soon." Boun replied, focusing back on his breakfast without thinking how strange his morning started.

Boun entered the hospital room first, his face softening at the sight of his grandmother sleeping on her bed. Ohm following behind him, closing the door after him.

"Hello, grandma." Boun softly said, kissing the older woman's forehead.

"Hello, grandma." Ohm also said, kissing her on the head.

The disturbance woke up the sleeping older woman, "Hey, look who are here" she said, face showing the happiness she felt upon seeing her favorite grandsons in front of her.

Boun and Ohm felt happy seeing the smile on their grandma's face, seeing the shine on her eyes again. "Did you have a nice dream?" Ohm softly asked, taking her left hand to hold with Boun taking her right hand.

"I have a warm and heartfelt dream of the past..." the older woman replied, eyes shining at the memory of her dream. "A person long gone but still remained in my heart. A family so dear in my heart... in mine and your grandfather's heart. A precious person gone so young and unexpectedly..."

"And? How did it go?" Boun asked, smiling.

"He is still the same as before... the loveliest, the kindest, and the most gentle person I have ever met. He soothed Grandma's problems and burdens."

"It just shows how much he loves you. I am glad he appeared in your dreams, grandma." Boun said, patting the older woman's hand.

"Yes... him appearing in front of me means so much to me."

"You haven't talked to us about him before. What is his name?" Boun asked.

The older woman let out a laugh as he smacked Boun's hand. "Silly, we have talked about him before. Did you forget already? He's my cousin, his name is Fluke."

"I don't remember" Boun murmured, frowning when something prickled inside of him. He cast a glance at Ohm and saw him wearing a pained expression. "Are you alright?" Boun asked, worried.

Snapping out of his head, Ohm replied "Yes, just a headache." It really is just a headache... a headache that came after he heard the name, something inside of him suddenly breaks. His heart disintegrating into pieces.

"You sure? You said you felt unwell earlier, you might want to go home. Leave grandma to me."

"No, Ohm. Bring this person you brought with you back. Grandma wants to rest, and him being here means I cannot take a rest."

"Alright, grandma."

"Hey! You are talking about me!"

"No excuses, grandma's words is the law, Boun."

"Oh? If that's so, then please, don't go to work for today. The both of you look sick right now." The older woman started nagging them as she patted their hands and shooing them at the same time. "Go! Let this old woman rest without the both of you around."

"Alright, alright! We are going!" Boun replied, kissing his grandma's head with Ohm doing the same.

"You better go straight home, not at work!" The older woman added, nagged.

"Yes, yes. Don't worry, grandma!" Boun replied before they exited the room.

On their way to their firm, Boun tried to talk about the project in Japan that Ohm has succeeded on getting for them, but halfway to his talk, he realized that no one is listening to him. He sighed and turned on the radio instead as he started stealing glances, observing his cousin who is spacing out on the passenger seat.

Deep inside, Boun knows something is bothering Ohm. But he will wait till his cousin will open up to him on his own. "We are in this together. I already told them not to tell that we are on our way to work." Boun said, informing Ohm that grandma won't know as long as they will keep their mouth shut (read: Mark and Jesse - the only people with loose mouth in the firm–also can be said as grandma's minions.)

"Hmm" Ohm hummed absentmindedly as his reply.

"And since you are feeling a little out of it, let's go home on time for today." Boun added, finally parking the car at their reserved space on their building firm.

Finally realizing that they have arrived and that he is already following Boun, Ohm shakes his head to focus himself, at the same time replying to Boun – "I can manage. I am feeling alright now. Also, I have many things to finish in my office."

"No." Boun strongly replied, stopping in front of Ohm to persuade him. "We will go home early. And. You can bring all of your work at home. I will even let you finish everything while you stay at home, you do not have to come to the office so long as you get rest."

Ohm stared, confused at Boun's concerned eyes. His cousin's worry for him is palpable. "Why are you worried? We have always been doing this for years, Boun."

Boun cannot explain why but he feels he needs to be adamant about his decision. "Just please, listen to me just this once? Anyway, it's already thursday tomorrow, you can bring everything at home today, sleep and rest then do work at weekends and just come back to the office next monday."

Ohm stared at Boun, the both of them not wanting to back away before Ohm relented, finally agreeing. With a defeated sigh, Ohm nodded his head in approval. He patted Boun on the shoulder as a thank you –and also to stop him from worrying– before they continued walking inside the building.

Their people are a little bit in a chaotic situation inside but they mellowed down when Boun and Ohm entered their firm.

They quietened down and went back to their work, consulting each other more quietly than before, as a consideration to Ohm who is known as someone who wants to have a quiet working surrounding.

Opposite to the cousin, Boun is loudly telling everyone to get back to work and line up if they have things to say to him in regard to their work.

"Ohm is back at it again. I like him having that gentle look on his face more than this serious look he is wearing." Jess commented, glancing at Ohm's office– the owner is sitting on his desk with furrowed brows as he started reading the papers on his table.

"Right, as if he is ready to go to war with your reports." Mark mumbled, reading one of the blueprints Boun has assigned to him.

"Since when did he have a gentle look on his face while at work? Were you dreaming then?" Boun heard their conversation and was already inching closer to them just so he can also comment... at the same time scolding them by smacking them on the head with the thick amount of papers he is holding. "I think I have to freshen up the look of our office, I have to change the glass walls into opaque ones so you lot will stop gossiping about people instead of working."

"But Boss Boun, if that was a dream then that was a real one! Really!" Jess said, supporting his claim, not believing it didn't happen.

"Enough about dreams. I have a question to the both of you." Boun said, eyes locked on both Mark and Jess who immediately straightened on their seats upon seeing the stern look he is giving them. "Now, tell me. Who between the both of you put these things on my fridge?" He asked with a frown, placing his phone on Jess' table– there is a picture of the said fridge on the screen.

Mark briefly glanced at the picture before he rapidly shook his head, "Not me!"

Jess hastily replied, "I remembered buying them back when we were in Japan. But because you asked for it, Boss Boun!"

"I did?" Boun asked with a raised brow, adding "Really?"

"Yes! You said he asked you to buy it but since we were already here, you asked me to buy it for you! I am telling the truth!"

"He who?" Boun asked, confused but somehow starting to believe what Jess is telling him.

"I don't know. Maybe boss Ohm? He might have forgotten buying it while we were there and he asked you to buy it for him."

"And since when did Ohm like to buy these cute things?!" Boun exclaimed, pointing at the picture of cute fridge magnets. "You know how he doesn't look at things and people. You know how hard it is to get his attention!"

Mark then suggested, "Maybe he saw it once from the TV and thought he should buy it? I don't know but that face–" he pointed at Ohm who has his focus on his work, not hearing and seeing anything aside from the papers he is reviewing. "–does not seem to be interested in anything other than his work. He is still the same, Jess."

Jess grumbled, "But it's the truth! I will let you see the messages–" Jess grumbled but stopped when he remembered he left his phone back at home. "Nevermind, I left my phone back home."

Mark chuckled then, patting him on the shoulder. "We believe you. In the first place, the only time we visited their house was when we renovated it. We didn't go there after Ohm left us in a rush when we were in Japan."

Boun furrowed his brows, more questions piling up in his mind when he heard that. "He went home in a rush?"

"Well, yeah! It's because he got sick!" Jess replied, going back to his work while grumbling.

"Ohm got sick?!" Boun incredulously exclaimed. He cannot remember Ohm went home sick. He only remembered his cousin came home and told him he got the project. Then, nothing else came to mind...

"No, not him. It's–" Mark replied because he was also there... but strangely, as he tried to remember the name of the person he is referring to, he cannot remember anything. He turned to Jess to ask him if he remembered but the other is also waiting for him to answer. "No, I think it's Ohm who got sick. Or he made that as an excuse to go home early?" He added, trying to be convincing but even for him that excuse sounds impossible.

Boun sighed at the both of them then and shook his head. "Nevermind. I know, I know. You do not have to make up excuses. Now get back to work." Boun finally left Jess and Mark to their work while giving his cousin a worried glance. Something strange is going on, he has many questions in his mind but he doesn't know who to ask. Forget it,Boun thought, going back to his own office.

Bound to their work, both Ohm and Boun have forgotten that they were supposed to be only visiting in their firm for a while. It took Boun the whole day before he remembered that the both of them was supposed to be at home now. He glanced at his cousin's office, sighing at the same time.

Boun gave Ohm an hour from his usual time of 7pm before he entered his office and demanded that they must go home because he is very hungry and tired already. He had already given him enough time to work overtime. And he already told him earlier, Boun is quite serious when he said he can bring his work at home and finish everything at home. Reluctantly, Ohm followed Boun's order, taking his work with him to finish at home.

They made a drive thru for their dinner when Ohm suggested pizza and chicken. Immediately Boun knows what to order and didn't question himself about the immediate response that he thought of in his mind. He just observed his cousin who is staring at the distance, he really thinks Ohm is feeling unwell.

Also, Boun thinks he himself is starting to get sick. "Rest after eating dinner. I don't think you have noticed Ohm but I really feel that you are not feeling well." He murmured, throwing another glance at Ohm.

"I feel fine. Just confused but I feel fine. Don't worry about me, Boun." Ohm replied, sighing as he closed his eyes, keeping all of the rest of the conversation at bay.

As soon as they arrived, Ohm went upstairs feeling his energy depleting fast. In all honesty, he just really want to stay in bed and do nothing, just gaze at the ceiling and stay like that until he feels fine again, until his inside feels alright again.

But doing that is unlike him at all, so he did not follow his cousin's instructions and pushed himself to work everyday at the same time he accompanies Boun and continued visiting grandma Sammy every morning.

A week after their daily visit, the family gathered as grandma Sammy bid them her final farewell. Following the last order of their grandmother, she was laid beside her husband, her friend, and her dearest cousin.

It was a solemn farewell.

When everyone was finished saying their goodbyes, Boun and Ohm stayed behind to talk to their grandmother a little more.

Samantha Sion

"You are now with grandpa. And you are now well rested. Thank you for everything grandma. I love you." Boun mumbled with a smile on his face.

"Keep grandpa company up there. Rest in peace, grandma." Ohm added, a smile also on his face.

Standing from their sitting position, both grandsons bid their grandmother farewell and decided to visit their grandfather's grave too before going home.

Prem Sion

"Hello, grandpa. Do not let grandma out of your sight now or else she will visit us and do some matchmaking again." Boun joked, chuckling together with Ohm. "Till next time, grandpa." He added, eyes going to the grave next to his grandfather.

Tayn Wangsaelim

"Ohm, I think this is Uncle Boston's father." Boun commented, walking towards the name plate and prayed for him too. "Ohm?" Boun called, confused when his cousin is not beside him nor at their grandparents' graves. When he looked to his right side, he found his cousin kneeling in front of another grave, softly tracing the name written on the plate.

Fluke Chantthara

"I think this is the person grandma was talking about." Ohm softly said. "A person so dear, you cannot help but love his presence. A person so dear, you cannot help but mourn his absence."

"What?" Boun asked and went beside him, not understanding what Ohm has been saying.

"Oh, nothing of importance." Ohm replied, snapping himself out of his daze.

"Come on, let's go, let's go! Let's go home! I missed our house, I missed my room, I missed my bed. We haven't gotten home since last week, I cannot wait but sleep for two whole days!" Boun exclaimed, grabbing his cousin with him and leading him back to his car.

"One day is enough for you, even 6 hours is enough" Ohm replied, rolling his eyes at the exaggerated reaction. "As long as there's a cup of coffee for you to sip, it is enough already."

Affronted, Boun gasped and replied, "That's not true!"

Ohm only scoffed and ignored Boun's sudden lecture about the beauty and benefits of well enough rest.

It turned out to be a right decision because Boun suddenly touched many subjects and along their way home, Boun has informed him about the topics that he usually tuned him out.

"Boun, I am tired." Ohm commented with a sigh. Seeing Boun's blank look, he inclined his head and let Boun knows that they are already home and that he is currently walking with Ohm on the stairs– that also means ever since they left the cemetery, Boun has been talking nonstop.

"Oh, we are already home... Oh! Good night! I am home, my bed!" Boun happily rushed downstairs, immediately going towards the direction of his room.

Ohm can only chuckle and shake his head at the way his cousin reacted. For Ohm, times like this, when Boun's childlike self is out in the open is really the best. Ohm was chuckling at the way his cousin reacted when he suddenly stopped, pausing on his way to his room with a confused looked marring his face, thinking that it was only recently when Boun acted childlike... Shaking his head at the sudden thought, he murmured, "Nothing, I am just tired."

And it's the truth. Ohm is really tired, he wants to sleep already. But he also feels sticky, he wants to take a shower first and freshen himself first.

So that's what he did.

And that's when he noticed something has been added inside his bathroom.

Ohm didn't remember buying a different scent of shampoo and soap. Inspecting it, he realized his usual shampoo and soap is beside the ones he accidentally used. A frown appeared on Ohm's face again, the scent is too sweet for his liking but it brings comfort to his inner self.

He grabbed his towel and noticed he grabbed a blue one, not his usual black one. "What?" Ohm mumbled, looking at the towel rack and saw his towel still there. "Did I accidentally take this out of the closet while I was in a hurry last week?" He mumbled to himself, using the blue towel and wrapped it around his shoulders while he used his own towel to wrap around his hips.

Looking for a pajama to wear, he looked at his usual cotton pants and loose shirt. But right in the corner, a silk black pajama set was there, neatly hanged. He didn't even know he owns one. He contemplated for a while and choose the silk black pajama set instead.

That night, for the first time since he woke up feeling disoriented and strangely empty, Ohm felt at peace.

Another week is ending in the A and E firm. The employees are all buzzing about the projects they need to review and oversee. They are all trying to leave work on time because they have been doing overtime since Monday.

But the person who just entered the office will keep them there for a bit longer, and all of them cannot hide their displeased faces.

"Uh-oh, she is back, Mark! Quickly call for Boss Boun! How many times did she come last week only to observe us and now she is back?!" Jess whispered, nudging hard the person whose table is beside him. "Faster! Call him and tell him he has to protect Boss Ohm and show her who owns him!"

"Huh?" Mark was already calling for Boun, but he paused when he heared the last sentence from Jess. "Who owns who?"

"Boss Ohm's lover, of course! I mean, we told her that many months ago right?!? I have proof! ... Uh, I will fabricate for a proof! Faster, call for reinforcement!" Jess rapidly said, standing from his seat to block the way of the woman who has evaded everyone who tried to block her way. (She did not even think their displeased faces were aimed at her, nonverbally telling her she is not welcome.)

"Sorry Ma'am, but you are not supposed to be here. We have not allowed clients to visit the firm since the start of this week." Jess said, trying to be polite. But when the woman only raised a brow at him and ignored him in favor of looking at Ohm's office, he frowned and forgot to be polite. "Really, stop visiting us when you do not have a proper appointment. We are already being kind to you for always letting you in. But you must know that you are disturbing the peace of our firm. I don't care if you are a daughter of one of our clients–" someone tapped Jess' shoulder and got startled suddenly seeing Ohm beside him.

"We are done for today, go home now." Ohm told Jess, not even noticing the woman who smiled upon seeing him up close.

"Excuse me?" She shyly said, trying to gain attention.

Ohm glanced at her and frowned. In a loud voice, he coldly addressed everyone who felt it was unfair to be scolded when they did try to keep her out. "Why is an outsider here inside our office? Didn't Boun and I strictly told everyone not to let any outsider inside?"

"Oh no, no. I am not an outsider, I am–"

"I know all the woman who are part of our team and you, you are not part of our team. You are not someone freshly hired too, you still look like a high school student. Also, I do not know you, so you are an outsider." Ohm said, cutting her without filter, making Jess look somewhat smug beside Ohm. "What are you doing? Why are you not escorting her out?" Ohm added, eyes on the smug person beside him.

The woman frowned and stomped her feet. She crossed her arms as she said, "You cannot throw me out or my father will hear this from me!"

"Ma'am, that is not how we work here. Using one's connection to threaten us is not a plus for you. Tell us the name of your father and we will gladly pull out. Immediately."

Jess gulped at the stoic voice of Ohm, he remembered an incident when Ohm used that tone to him and Mark. He glanced at Mark and they both shared a look. That was the time when they decided not to ever mess with Ohm. And not to mess with...huh? With who?

"Are you like this because he has finally left you? See! This is why you should choose and look at the opposite gender!" The lady started explaining, voice getting higher at the end.

Everyone who heard her turned towards each other in confusion. "I can't believe I am hearing this from her. What's wrong with choosing the same gender?" One asked, and everyone shrugged in reply. The world has changed, most people are being accepting and supporting now. It's a shock to hear and see one of the minority inside their firm.

Even Ohm looked at her confused, not getting what she is saying. But the lady kept complaining at him. Boun, who already arrived when Ohm started talking heavily sighed at the nonsense the lady kept on spouting without break (and brake).

"I have once caught a glimpse of your picture of him. Why can't I snatch your attention while only a notification, a call from him and he has already have your focus and attention? Look at me and compare the both of us. See?Something is wrong with him!"

Something inside of Ohm pricked when he heard that. Suddenly, he is not just irritated with this lady by disturbing the office but also angry at what she just said. "There is nothing wrong with him. Why do people always ask that when the other party is the same gender? The type of person I dislike the most are those who think they can have everything they want. I also dislike the most the people who look down and belittle others. Not to be rude, because you are our client's family, but please refrain from insinuating things aside from our scope of work within this office. We have strict rules being implemented in this office and we practice obedience here. And, do me a favor... do not compare yourself to him because you don't have a chance. Please excuse me." Ohm added, nodding his head at her before briskly walking away.

Everyone can see Ohm is clenching his jaw. He is walking stiffly with his hands on his pockets. Maybe if they looked at his hands right now, they would see how he has them on a fist, to control his sudden anger and temper.

The woman only looked angrier and embarrassed for being talked to like that. Boun then decided to announce his presence upon seeing her ugly reaction. "Ms. Ria Jane, little girl, I have already called your father and told him we are pulling out from his project. So now, you cannot use your father as an excuse. I have enough of you always disturbing all of my employees. You know where to go, right? Next time you ignore our rules, I will immediately call for security. Have a good day to you." Boun only gave her a bland smile before turning to Mark. "Be in charge for today, I have a cousin to calm."

Mark saluted in response and told everyone to double check their workspace before they go home. No one tried to talk to the embarrassed lady and she left on her own after receiving a call from her father.
