The night felt short for Tine, after meeting Sarawat, he spent the whole day thinking about what they were before everything went upside down. He could sleep a bit. He laid awake on his bed till the morning. Two days passed away since he met Sarawat again. He tried looking for Sarawat again, he tried to control himself but to no avail as he found himself looking for that one person in every free hour yet it was a surprise that he couldn't find him. He then thought maybe Sarawat was just visiting someone there and this thought made him disappointed.

In the weekend Tine decided to walk around to free his mind and Dew and Nani after a long time were going on a date and he didn't wanted to be the third wheel.

He didn't had breakfast as he wasn't hungry and in the next neighborhood he knew a cafe that he visited often and he walked aiming the cafe.

It wasn't surprising to see almost all the tables outside and inside occupied considering the cafe sold fresh and tasty foods,high in quality and also didn't charged a lot for them.

Tine looked around and saw a table for three taken by just one person. He wasn't hungry when he left home but now that he walked into the cafe filled with the aroma of delicious food,he couldn't help but feel hungry and nothing mattered more than getting a seat. He hurriedly walked over to the table and saw that the young man was doing something.

"Excuse me, is this seat taken?"He asked and instantly the person looked up giving him almost a heartattack.

"You!?"Tine asked and Sarawat looked surprised as well.

"Oh,Win? No, it's not, feel free to take a seat"Sarawat gave him a small smile,it was strange but he felt special around this 'Win' guy. He never is this comfortable or warm to strangers but this guy felt different, because they've met even before.

Tine now didn't had any appetite left but he also couldn't walk out because it was like dream to meet him again,and he didn't wanted to wake up yet if it was a dream.

He sat on the opposite chair and looked at what he was doing and a Polaroid camera laid on the table and Sarawat looked clueless.

"We have met before"Sarawat said and Tine glanced at him.

"Y-yeah? Yesterday?"He asked and Sarawat shook his head.

"No, but I guess you don't remember. One day I found you drunk in the middle of the road. Yesterday I didn't recognised first but after I went home I remembered"Sarawat said and Tine breathed out.

"Y-you were the one?"Tine asked and Sarawat nodded,he knew it,it felt too real to be a dream.

"I'm sorry"Tine said and Sarawat smiled.

"It's fine. Looks like we're destined to meet. See,we met again"Sarawat himself felt so strange that he was talking a lot than he usually do and Tine smiled for the first time at him. Sarawat thought that he looked so cute.

"Looking for this,were you?"now in his hand was a tiny object that was his airpod but what rejoiced him the most was the voice that seemed familiar.

Tine couldn't help but smile at Sarawat as he pulled him away from crowd and closer to him.

"I guess we're destined to meet?"The voice asked and Sarawat's heart skipped a beat.

'You changed a lot,Wat.........you never talked like this before......... I hope you are happy now......have you forgot me completely?'Tine asked himself as he looked at Sarawat again and saw him playing around with the Polaroid cam like a kid trying to figure out something.

"What are you trying to do?"Tine asked and Sarawat smiled awkwardly.

"Erm, I have never used it before"

"And you brought it?"

"I brought it for someone else. But I think they'll be happy if I could take some pictures of them"Sarawat said and Tine's heart felt a bit pain but he shrugged it off.

"Your name?"

"Oh, I'm Sarawat"He smiled and Tine smiled remembering how he first figured out his name from his book.

It was uncomfortable when Sarawat called him by the name Win, but it was nice as for now, as long as Sarawat don't realise who he really is,they could be friendly strangers, Tine thought.

"Sarawat,can I help you?"Tine asked and Sarawat nodded and pushed the small box towards Tine.

Sarawat watched the beautiful male sitting opposite to him, now completely focused on fixing the camera.

"Didn't you tried the manual or Internet?"Tine asked.

"There was a manual in it but I don't understand and I'm not much of a person of internet"Sarawat said and Tine chuckled.

"Why am I not surprised?"Tine asked and Sarawat chuckled and pushed forward the manual towards Tine.

"What shall I order for you?"Sarawat asked and Tine apologised beforehand for making him do it but Sarawat gave orders for Tine as well.

"Done, Can I take a photo of yours?"Tine asked out of habit and Sarawat's eyes widened as he heard the voice.

"What?"Tine asked.

"You sound awfully similar to someone I know"Sarawat said and Tine smiled.

"So,shall I?"Tine asked again and Sarawat nodded and stood up to come sit near Tine.

"Take a photo of ours so when someday I'll look through it, I'll remember I have met before such a nice stranger"Sarawat said and Tine couldn't help but chuckle. A wave of sadness hit him when he realised just how many pictures have they took together before but sadly Sarawat can't know.

Sarawat moved closer and Tine himself put on a beautiful smile as he clicked the shutter button.

He gently lift the film shield an it rolled back into the camera. He removed the photo and placed it face down to continue shielding it from light as it develops, careful not to shake it.

"You shouldn't shake and also try to hide it away from light as it develops"Tine said and Sarawat smiled and nodded.

Once their orders were served they began eating, Sarawat had a nice time with this nice stranger.

But as for Tine, it was different. He who saw and heard and remembered everything, this small breakfast was more like a feast with the person he loved with all his life. If anyone ask him why does he love Sarawat so much, why is he special from everyone else, he doesn't have an answer. It's simple Sarawat the one who made Tine feel different. But he promised himself to not spill anything related to him because Tine wanted Sarawat to find someone else who'll be accepted by Sarawat's parents whole heartedly and someone he'll be the happiest with.

"It was nice meeting you, Sarawat"Tine said once they walked out of the cafe and Sarawat smiled.

"I'm taking the other way"Tine said as they stood in the middle of the road that splitted into two from there and Sarawat nodded.

"I'm taking the other one. My friend is waiting for me"Sarawat said and they bid goodbyes, Sarawat walked away first but he turned around to wave his hands at Tine and Tine smiled waving back.
