A Little Too Late (winteam)

alternative ending

7:23 am
Win woke up with tear stains on his cheeks. His pillow is wet because of the tears he might have shed while he was sleeping. He is also sweating cold.

"What? What the hell happened..?" Win said. He has been breathing heavily since the moment he woke up. He quickly grabbed his phone then checked the time. He is running late. He immediately went to the bathroom to take a quick shower before going out to go to school.

When he arrived at the school, he immediately looked for Team. Team is not answering his calls, even his messages so he just decided to go straight to Team's classroom because he already knew that Team is not in his dorm room anymore.

When he got there, he saw Team talking to Pharm and Manaow. He walked towards them then grabbed Team's wrist then walked out of the room. They went straight to the rooftop without him saying a word.

"Hia! What do you want?! You just pulled me out of my classroom then went here." Team tried to pull his hand away from Win but then Win pulled him for a hug.

"I dreamt about you." Win whispered in Team's ear. "It was so bad that I woke up crying and in cold sweat. It was scary." Win explained.

"What.. what happened?" Team asked, trying to put his hands on Win's back to pat it.

"Please, just promise me you won't leave me.." Win's voice is shaking. He is desperate. He needs Team to answer him.

"Tell me what happened first, Hia." Team tried to divert the conversation.

"Please. Just tell me you won't leave me. Promise me." Win asked Team again.

"I promise. I promise I won't leave you." Team answered then rubbed Win's back. Win is silently sobbing already.

Win sighed and gathered all the strength he had to tell Team what his dream was. "I dreamt of you. You drowned and I couldn't save you. I came in late. It was already too late when I saw you.. I was scared.. I thought it was real.." Win stopped and told him that he couldn't continue. He also said that he doesn't want to remember it anymore.

"I'm here, Hia. Well and alive. You don't have to worry. I won't leave you." Team assured Win, hugging his Hia tightly.

"I need to tell you this before it's too late. I don't want to regret anything." Win pulled away from the hug then held Team's hands. Team looks confused.

"I like you. No, I love you. I'm sorry for not being clear with how I feel for you but this is real now. I love you, Team. I need you and I want you in my life. Please, don't ever leave me." Win said with visible tears in his eyes.

Team blushed with all the things Win had told him. He already knew that he is Win's special someone but he didn't expect Win to tell him that directly.

Win is waiting for his answer. He gripped Team's hands tightly and stared straight into his eyes.

"I like you too, Hia and I promise that I won't leave you. Your dream will not happen, I promise." Team smiled shyly at Win.

Win pulled Team to a tight hug again. He didn't expect Team to return his feelings but he is glad he told him what he really feels. He doesn't want to regret anything but he knows that fate might play a dirty trick on them. He doesn't want his dream to become a reality that's why he told his junior everything that he's feeling.

Team returned the hug and rubbed his senior's back again. He felt the sadness and pain Win was feeling earlier when he told him about his dream. He also felt how sincere Win is when he told him how he really feel. He is glad that he came into terms with his feelings even before his exams started.

The two stayed at the rooftop for a while and cherished the moment and time they had together. They assured each other that they won't be apart and won't leave each other's sides. They promised as well that Win's dream won't happen because they both know how painful it is for both of them.

"I love you, Team." Win said softly. "I'm sorry for teasing you a lot."

"I don't mind if it's you, Hia. I love you too." Team answered back.

Win pecked on Team's forehead leaving Team blushing hard then both of them smiled at each other while still hugging each other's bodies.
