YORU'S POV

I woke up to the sounds of the waves hitting the rocks tingles through my ears. I yawned, stretched my body lazily and slowly pulled myself up to peep through the tiny window of my tent . The sun is way over the horizon shining at its best. Yet, even so, the wind at the top of my cove is still breezy. I slumped my way back to the bed and stared blankly at the ceiling of my dome-like tent. I'm still sleepy. I plan to sleep the whole day.

After last night's turn of event, Dr. Phun left me by the beach. I watched him walk away till his silhouette  gone in the darkness of the night. His words kept ringing through my ears. His tear-stained face etched deeply in my memory. I knew I messed it up..so bad... Honestly, I don't know how to face him. I know I have to apologize..i need to apologize...but really i don't know how...

I do think he still needs time, so do I.

I went into the house at dawn. I was relieved to find him sprawled by his side of the bed sleeping. I was worried he might have gone somewhere in the middle of the night after that "talk" we had. His eyelids closed, hiding the wounded look in those orbs i saw earlier. He looked so tired and I could still see traces of tears on his face. 

Did he cry himself to sleep?That thought alone made me flinched in pain.

My gaze fell down on his neck, there's no more shiny silver tag hanging by it. It felt incomplete. I always see a glimpse of that chain glistening against the night light. Now..it's gone..

*Sigh*

I went by the closet and took my camping bag. My guilty conscience can't make me stand the same room with him. I can't look at his face right now..I can't stand seeing his pain again. I need to cool it down..

I turned to look once more at the sleeping man in my bed before turning the knob and gently closed the door behind.

I close my eyes tightly cause I don't want to think about these things right now.It is exhausting and emotionally draining.  I just want to laze around for the rest of the day. 

My growling stomach, however have other plans. I snorted in protest, between sleep and food, what to choose? I remembered I had an early dinner last night and right now it's past two in the afternoon, says my trusty watch.  No wonder my stomach's complaining.

I sigh as I get up and reach for my backpack to scour for food. I groan when I found nothing other than First aid kit, flashlight, batteries, water..I have everything but  food. I  took this camping bag in a rush that I totally forgot bringing provisions. My  teacher should have revoked my scoutingbadge if he hears this.

I buried myself in my pillow sulking at my own stupidity. Ohhh God..how i hate myself right now. 

Suddenly, a ray of light came to me (not really, it is just I remembered something). I sprang out of the tent and walked towards the oldest tree in my kingdom. I smiled when I saw what I needed hanging by the tree branch. It's not a fruit guys, this is not a fruit bearing tree. I looked for a stick to reach the dangling pink pouch by the branch.
