Arthit was sleeping on the sofa when I got back home, it was already close to midnight.

"Arthit..." I whispered so as to not wake him up. I decided to carry him to the bedroom so he

could sleep comfortably. But just as put my arms around Arthit's shoulders, he opened his eyes.

Our faces were so close that I could even hear his breathing

"Kongpob.. what-what do you think you are doing right now?"

He moved slightly away from me.

"I was just trying to move you to the bedroom Arthit. Did you think I was trying to kiss you?" I grinned. "Because I was."

Arthit rolled his eyes. How is this boy so cute even when he is angry?

"Why were you sleeping on the sofa anyway? Were you waiting for me?"

"Wait? Why would I wait for you Kongpob?"

"Because you missed me?"

He huffed and tried to pretend like he did not care. I know he did. Arthit is too bad at hiding his emotions.

I put my hands around his waist and hugged him tightly.

"I missed you Arthit. It felt weird not sleeping next to you.

I am sorry I got late. My flight got a little delayed."

"I wasn't waiting for you, Kongpob." He tries to get out of the hug but I only hold him tighter. I havent seen Arthit after three whole days. I am not letting him go this easily.

"And Kongpob, I only got home a few hours ago only. I had some meetings in college."

"This late? Do colleges really go on for this long?"

"No. The classes get over much earlier. We had meetings for SOTUS. The hazing activities will start from February 1st when the freshmen batch joins the college"

"What's SOTUS?"

"Oh you don't know? Our engineering department has a tradition of SOTUS. It stands for Seniority, Order, Tradition, Unity, and Spirit. Its a way for seniors to guide the juniors through their journey and break the ice."

"Are the hazing activities often tough for the first years?"

"They can be, physically and mentally straining. But that's the whole point of it it. The hazing team has to be strict with the freshmen to make sure they are all disciplined"

"And what's role in all of this, Arthit?" I get a little more closer to him and place my head on his shoulder when I realise he is slowly getting more comfortable with me.

"You? Seriously?" I laughed.

"Hey! Why are you laughing at me?"

You cry watching every movie and you drink pink milk all day long. How are you going to act all strict and angry in front of your freshmen?"

"KONGPOB! First of all, I didn't know you could see me around the apartment when I did all that. Some of the movies I saw were really emotional okay?

And I can act all strict and angry. I have been practicing everyday and attending meetings."I ruffled his hair. "If you say so, Arthit. Go sleep on the bed or you'll hurt your back. I'll take a shower and join you."

When I finally came and lied down on the bed, Arthit was already sleepy and he was staring right through me with his drowsy eyes.

"Kong...."

"Yes, Arthit"

"Are you really a celebrity actor? Is that why you went to Seoul? To take up the 6-month long project your friend told you about?"

"You are asking so many questions about my life, does that mean you finally believe what I said — That I am in 2020?"

"Yes, I guess I do. All of the news headlines you gave checked out. There doesn't seem to be any other conclusion to this whole thing.

So, are you really moving to Seoul?"

I smiled. My soft ball of fur is worried.

"Arthit..."

I put my hand on his waist and placed a light peck on his cheek.

"No, I am not moving to Seoul. I am going to stay right here and live with you."

Arthit tried to hide his smile, but I know he was happy.

"Hey Arthit, whats that gear bracelet thing you always keep with you?"

"Its the gear you get after finishing the hazing week. I got one in my first year, and now I'll be giving it to the freshmen"

"Does it have a meaning?"

"Probably something incredibly cheesy. I'll have to ask my seniors about it."

"You know Arthit, hearing you talk about college makes me wish I was able to go to one too."

"No. I was supposed to, but my dad got into an accident while he was taking me to the college dorms, just a day before I was supposed to officially join college.

Then I had to hustle and do whatever I could to make money quickly to pay off all the debts and help out my family."

"And you took up acting because of that?"

"I started with modelling, then got into acting. Things happened so fast that I didn't even have time to think about anything else. I was actually supposed to join engineering too"

"Really? What college?"

"Bangkok University."(Lets just assume this was the name of the college they went to. I cant remember the name right now)

"Seriously? Thats such a weird coincidence. Its 2017 in your time. That means, I could have met you as a freshman if I had gone to college. You would have been my strict and angry head hazer."

"But I like meeting you this way," said Arthit. He moved slightly closer and he was looking right into my eyes. I could hear his breathing.

"I don't"

"Why not?

"I wish I could have met you in college where you didn't think I was a ghost and I didn't have to call out your name every time I wanted to touch you." I was grateful to the universe for making me meet Arthit, but I wanted to more.

"You wouldn't have even liked me as a head hazer. Trust me, I can be pretty mean."

I chuckled. "Arthit, you couldn't be mean to anyone even if there was a gun to your head. And I am sure I would have still liked you as a hazer, wearing your crisp uniform. You know when I went for my college interview at Bangkok....."

Wait, a second.

Hold on.

THAT GUY I MET WAS ARTHIT?

"What did you say Kong?

"Arthit, we have met before! Don't you remember me? It was right around the college interviews, so it must have been July 2016.

"What are you saying Kong? I have never met you"

"No Arthit, we did! I came to the college for my interview and you helped calm me down. You told me it wasn't a big deal."

"I do remember meeting a kid. That was you? Wow Kong, you looked so innocent back then."

"Hey! I look innocent now too. My fans all say that about me"

"Kong, no offense, but you look like a playboy now. Some one who dates a new person every week."

"You have seen me around the apartment for weeks now. Do I behave like someone who dates a lot?"

"If you don't want to date anyone Kong, why do you put so many thirst traps on your Instagram."

"Are you jealous, Arthit?" I grin at him. I know he is uncomfortable. "Getting famous too early in life isn't that great as it looks in the pictures of my Instagram account. There are always fans and press around. I have never even been on a real date."

Arthit had a satisfactory smile on his face. At least he was happy with my answer.

"Hey Arthit..."

"Hmmm"

"Can I take you on a date if I meet you in my world?"

"May be. If you can impress me enough."

We talked endlessly about lives lying on the bed with our hands intertwined together. We smiled and giggled like a bunch of teenagers. Kong made me feel like the problems in my life didn't exist. Like, I could finally have someone who felt like home.

"Kong, can I ask you something? You don't have to answer it if you don't feel like"

"What is it?"

"How is your dad now? After the accident, I mean"

"He has been in coma ever since. He had an accident while he was taking me to the college dorms. A car came from the wrong side and collided with us. While trying to protect me, he hurt his head badly."

"I am sorry Kong."

"Its okay. He's the reason I met you. I moved to this apartment because it was closer to his hospital. I go meet him every morning."

He had to go through so much and grow up in a day all because of that one accident. I hugged Kong as tightly as I could.

"Too tight Arthit, I can't breathe."

While Kong got comfortable in my hug quickly and slept, I couldn't sleep that night at all. I wanted to help Kong and I wanted him to be a part of my world.

The apartment opened a small portal to the future, but what if t closed down just as quickly as it opened?

"KONG! WAKE UP! KONG!"

"Arthit. I am still sleepy. Its only 7am.

What's wrong?"
