Tee walks out of the wardrobe room. He just refreshes himself after coming back from the Ball. He looks around the bedroom for a sign of Tae but there's none.

Tee walks out of their bedroom and steps downstairs when he can smell the familiar coffee scent coming from the kitchen.

"P'Tae." Tee calls, he looks at Tae whom is sitting at the dinner table; he shows no expression.

Tee clutches his chest. Pavel's words from yesterday suddenly are playing in his head.

"Tee.." Pavel calls for Tee when Tee is walking downstairs.

"Yes, P'." Tee stops walking and looks towards Pavel.

"Can we talk?" Pavel asks, Tee looks at his brother's eyes and he knows it is something important.

Tee nods.

"What is it, P'?" Tee asks when both of them has settled sitting beside each other at the edge of the swimming pool.

Pavel hesitates for a moment before start talking.

"I don't know whether I should tell you about this or not since I'm worry you might not able to take it in. You're still recovering after all." Pavel starts.

Tee smiles. He squeezes Pavel's hand.

"I will be okay. You can talk to me and tell me anything." Tee says, assuring everything will be alright.

Pavel nods. He exhales his breath slowly.

"I need to give you this." Pavel hands Tee a small bottle. Tee looks at Pavel's hand and the small bottle.

"What is this P'?" Tee asks, looking from the hand to the Pavel's face.

"Anxiety pill." Pavel says, Tee raises his eyebrows in confusion.

"Tae's." Pavel added more.

"He might need it tomorrow's night." Pavel says more.

"Why?" Tee asks.

Pavel sighs. He looks at Tee.

"The date of Kreepolrerk's annual ball is the date of Tae's mother birthday." Pavel explains.

Tee gasps, understanding something.

"It is the date he lost his mother and once losing you."

"That day, the Kreepolrerk's Ball still ongoing although they just lost the lady of the house. They said the family tradition is more important than grieving, they said they might smile on the outside but are bawling on the inside." Pavel chuckles by the absurdity.

"They even force the small young master to attend the ball and not to grieve in his mother's death."

Tee fists his hand tightly; eyes looking deep at the water below his feet.

"The first year when I finally reunited with him, I saw him having the nightmare. He will cried, he will shouts with anger, he will apologize. I didn't know that he has been having the same nightmare for years."

"I realized even Tae is having hard times in his life; not only me. If only I know it's earlier, I want to help, to be there for Tae. He has been enduring it by himself, alone; all those years before I came."

"This past few years, Tae has been avoiding to consume the pill; he decides not to sleep to not have the nightmare." Pavel stops for a while. Tee looks at him; eyes mixed with pure anger and sadness.

"But, it didn't work; it still comes to his mind. It still is haunting him. His mind will still thinking about the fire. He will start crying, shouting and everything."

"The others don't know about this. I will ensure I am beside him to help him, to control him, to at least cry with him." Pavel says. He looks at Tee.

"I don't know whether it will be the same this year since you're here, back to us. But, since he will be going to the Ball tomorrow, there's the possibility." Pavel explains.

"He might doesn't want to rely on you since he doesn't want you to worry. I will still be there for him tomorrow night. But, will you able to help him, Tee?" Pavel asks; he holds both of Tee's hands in his.

Tee nods. "I will. I will be there for him. Don't worry, P'. Thank you for telling me this." Tee manages a small smile and hug Pavel.

"P'Tae." Tee calls again when no response from Tae.

Tee walks and approaches his man slowly. Tee wraps his arms around Tae's neck from behind. Tae's startles but regain his compose when realized it is Tee.

"Tee.." Tae calls, his voice is soft but weaker than usual.

"I'm here." Tee whispers, placing his head on Tae's shoulder.

No word is spoken. Only warmth for each other.

That night, Tee stays with Tae listening to all Tae babbles and cries; on how hurt he is; how lonely he is; how he misses his mother. 

Sometimes, it just likes Tae is in the past, he doesn't realized Tee is already in front of him. But then, Tae will hug Tee saying how he misses him. How he is afraid of not able to see Tee at all like just what happen to his mother; how he is afraid of losing him again. He will apologizing for not searching for Tee more intently; for letting Tee lives in hardship.

Tee witnesses the fragile Tae, the weak Tae, and the other side of Tae. 

Tee cries, not because of the past but because of what it has leave in Tae; it just hurt.

"So, Singto has started his move?" Pavel asks, Pluem nods to the question.

It's still early in the morning.

Pavel sighs. He leans his back on the sofa, trying to close his eyes.

"What are we going to do next?" Pluem asks, he knows Pavel is listening although his eyes are close.

"We wait for Singto next move and be alert on any Kreepolrerk's move." Pavel answers. Pluem nods.

"So, what has happened?" Chimon asks to Pluem and the sleeping Pavel.

"P'Singto just handed his resignation letter." Pluem answers.

"That's all?" Chimon asks gain, he plops himself beside Pluem.

"Yes, for now. It still early." Pluem answers. Chimon nods then moves his gaze towards Pavel.

"You didn't sleep last night?" Chimon asks.

Pavel chuckles a little, eyes still close. He nods.

"Got something to take care. Only able to sleep for 2 hours." He replies.

"Is that why P'Tae and Tee are still sleeping?" Chimon asks. It's takes a while for Pavel to answer.

"Let's them sleep. They had a rough night." Pavel answers, still closing his eyes.

"It's in!" Dome shouts, coming from the upstairs after few hours the other three just idling.

Pavel opens his eyes, looking at Pluem waiting for the news; he is still leaning on the sofa. 

Pluem's fingers move faster on the keyboard of his laptop and stop when he finds what he is looking for.

Chimon looks through the laptop's screen and read the news.

"Politician is caught in illegal actions. All of his assets has been freeze and taken to custody." Chimon reads part of the article.

Pavel smirks. "Look like the first one is the Veeravidhayanant." He says.

"Well played, P'Singto." Chimon says, praising Singto who is not in presence.

Pavel looks at Pluem.

"Tee will resume his study at the university tomorrow. We know that one of the Veeridhayanant is obsessed with Tee. And sooner, they will know how they are trapped by us."

"I will need your help." Pavel says. Pluem nods, understanding.
