A soft caress on his hair woke Singto up. He didn't open his eyes yet as he still is trying to get his senses back.

He looked at the driver's seat to look at Krist but he wasn't there.

"Could I just be dreaming earlier?", he wondered.

He looked out the window and saw a beautiful beach in front of him. Singto could not see any people around despite the exquisite ambience the place hold.

He alighted from the car then stretches his body and saw Krist standing beside the car, drinking a canned soda.

"How long did we travel?", he asked the young lad while yawning.

Krist looked back at the man who just asked him.

"6 hours.", he replied. He then opened the car's trunk and took out a huge travelling bag.

"Eh?? Why that long? Why are we here? And why did you bring a huge bag like that?", Singto asked as he began to get anxious.

Krist just gave him a smile and turned to walk away, entering the two-storey beach house painted in white where the car is parked.

He rushed towards Krist and grabbed his arm to stop him.

Krist turned around to face his partner. He knows Singto will not settle unless he gives a proper answer. He sighed as he loosen Singto's grip on his arm, and put the bag down. He then put his hands on his hips as he waited for his P's questions.

"Tell me, what is going on?", Singto asked him in a serious and determined tone, his gaze percieng through Krist's eyes.

Krist avoided Singto's gaze, seemingly thinking of what to say. He looked at Singto once again after a brief moment.

he uttered.

"If this doesn't work, then they'll let us go and free to make our own decisions.", Krist explained, gazing at Singto blankly.

"What?! Why didn't they give me a heads up?", Singto responded, looking frustrated.

"Is this your idea too? You really want to leave that badly, huh?", Singto continued asking as his emotions began to rise.

"Why go the trouble of pretending to work things out?! Let's just go back and call it quits!", Singto raises his voice as he feels so annoyed at the thought of Krist trying to do everything just to get away from him.

Krist responded in a casual tone.

Singto's jaw dropped in disbelief. His head is numbed and his ears are ringing in anguish.

Krist just turned away and continued entering the beach house where they are going to stay for the meantime. Leaving Singto speechless.

"What did I do to make you dislike me that much?!", he asked in his head, following Krist with a helpless gaze.

Krist closes the door behind him as soon as he entered his designated room. He placed the bag on the floor as he slowly sat down, feeling tired all of a sudden, cupping his forehead with hand as he leaned against the door.

Krist turned to Georgia after Singto left them in the restroom's lobby area.

He knows Singto wouldn't do such act without thinking. Singto has always been careful with everything he does. This is very unlikely of him.

Georgia froze for a moment. Just a moment ago Krist looks furius at Singto but now he is questioning her like he was sure that Singto wasn't in the wrong.

"I-... I don't know. He just approached me then forced to kiss me. He seems drunk.", she denied her actions earlier, pretending scared and faking a tear.

Krist looked at her from head to toe. He isn't buying Georgia's act. After all, he was one of her victim.

He only 'dates' her because of a stupid mistake he did. Georgia has been following him from the beginning. He thought she was just an avid fan so he didn't pay much attention to it and didn't mind when she tried to befriend him. One day, after a gig almost a year ago, he got drunk and woke up at this lady's condo unit all naked. Since then, Georgia began treating him as if they were in a relationship. Afraid that she will stir up trouble for him and Singto, so he played along. He did everything to shake this woman off his life but whenever she senses that Krist is avoiding her, she would hint that she would leak the video on the night they spent together.

he threatened the woman, inching his face towards the woman, making sure she gets the message.

Georgia felt Krist wasn't bluffing this time. She was taken aback and got scared for a moment. She looked at Krist who is intensely gazing at her.

she then retorted, seeing a glimpse of opportunity.

"Why are you so worked up?", she asked as she began smirking.

"Could it be...", she moved away from Krist's fiery gaze, circling around him.

she asked, grinning. Her fear went away as she saw how Krist's facial expression changed from rage to anxious.

She caresses Krist's cheek down to his lips, smirking.

"Be nice to me and maybe.. I will let your beloved man off.", she whispered, feeling triumphant as she realized she got another card to make Krist obey her.

Krist grabbed the woman's neck, pinning her against the wall, his eyes are burning in fury upon hearing the cunning woman's threat.

"Don't you dare touch even a single strand of his hair, bitch!", he uttered in between his gritting teeth. Georgia was astonished but she did not show fear. She knows she's got the upper hand.

If he could only break this woman's neck to end it all. But he knows he can't do it. He loosened his grip at the woman's neck, feeling defeated.

she then said, smiling triumphantly, patting Krist's head.

"I'd rather spend my life in despair rather than taking your smile away."
