Wayo POV

Can someone please turn down the AC? It's really cold. My body's shivering, but no one seems to hear me. I slowly open my eyes, but for some reason, I can't. I try opening them again, and this time I was successful, but why is my vision blurry and why do my eyelids feel like they weigh a ton?

I focus on the view in front of me. Why am I seeing white flooring and several doors? Oh, yeah. My mind has started to function now. Memories start creeping back in. Here I am, curled up on the cold floor from sleeping at my dorm building's corridor after crying for God knows how long last night.

I checked my watch for the time. It's 5:30 AM. I guess I better get ready for class. I'm afraid I might fail this semester because unlike the past 2 years, I have become impatient in almost everything. My mind wanders off every chance it gets. I can't concentrate on anything, let alone my lectures. But I still have to try, even if I'm just going through the motions. I can't lose this, too.

I slowly get up from the floor to head back to my room. Before walking away, I take a deep breath and position my hand at the door in front of me to knock. My eyes start to well up again and I can already hear my soft sobs. I gather all my courage and knock.

"P-P'Pha, I'll be going a-ahead. See you again tonight. I mi-miss you s-so much." I pause for a while, trying to regain my composure as my sobs become louder and I feel like I'm about to breakdown ... again. "I ... love ... you," I say in between sobs as tears begin rolling down my face.

"P-Please, co-come back to m-me."
