Tae's POV

"Bas! Isn't this the polo shirt you wore on your birthday? Where are the buttons?"

That question made me look instantly at the polo shirt Bas' mom is holding then little by little, I remember bits and pieces of what happened that night.

I knew Bas was wearing that polo shirt when we were at the bar, but when he got back from meeting Godt, he was wearing something else.

Why did he change and what could be the reason why the buttons are now missing? I turn to look at Bas, and he was as stunned as I am with his mom's question. He seems to be searching for the right thing to tell his mom. Why do I feel strange about what he's going to say?

I took a deep breath first to calm my nerves down. I feel jealous, confused and angry at the same time because of what's happening right now.

"Oh that? Uhm, I think it got caught somewhere, that's why the buttons got ripped." says Bas to his mom. Of course I could sense that he was lying. There's a hint in his voice.

"Really? Too bad. I'll try to fix it. We just got this one, right?" she told Bas then she looked at me.

"Nong Tae! You're here! Would you like anything to drink?" she offered.

"No thanks, Auntie."

"Sure? Alright. I'll get back to my chores." I nodded then she walked back to Bas' room.

Now we're left here while his sister is busy looking at our photos in my phone.

"Can we talk in private?" I asked in a calm voice.

"Sure, P'. Where do you want?" he answered as he put down his bag on the center table.

"Just go with me, but get changed first and let your mom know that we're heading out." I answered and gave him a bitter smile. I know he knows what I mean.

He agreed and went to his room. After around 15 minutes, he's ready then we left right away. His sister was insisting on coming with but of course it's impossible.

We're in the car now, and it's strangely silent. No one dared to speak or ask a question until we reach my condo.

"Have you had dinner? I can cook for you." I started the conversation. I might be jealous or angry, but his well-being is still my priority.

"Not yet, but I'm still full. I had pizza at P'Godt's."

I was right. He was there, and I resent that. I didn't notice my hand starting to form a fist. This isn't right. I need to calm down. Breathe, Tae. I don't want to be overpowered by my anger.

I walked closer to him and hugged him. He was surprised by what I did, but this is the only way I know to appease myself. After a while when I felt I am calm enough, I started talking to clear things up with him.

"Bas, I lied to you. When you texted me, I was really at Siam for lunch with Tee. I thought it'd be better if I didn't tell you because you might've gotten angry if you found out we left the shoot." I had to be the first one to admit my mistake because I can't stand lying to him after all. I let go of him to look him in the eye, so he can feel how sincere I am.

"Why are you saying that, P'Tae?" he asked.

"Because you have the right to know, and I don't want to lie to you. That's why we're here now. To talk about the things that really happened today." My eyes still fixed on his.
