He had been looking sideways into space for a long time with an empty gaze, didn't even move an eyelash. Didn't even realize when someone walked in.

"Your mom just disowned me, thanks for that" August said jokingly. He looked at Tee sitting lifelessly on his bed. "I sent her home" he still got no response.
He sat with Tee, putting an arm around him. Tee looked up in surprise and smiled. "When did you come in?"
"Around the time you were playing dead" August replied. "What are doing now?"
"Nothing..." Tee looked down at his lap. "When will I go home? I'm okay now"
"Can you see the drips hooked up to you?" August asked a bit sarcastically. "Okay my ass! You work hard, the least you could do is take care of yourself better" he clicked his tongue when Tee pouted. "Fine, two more days I guess, soon as she'll set you up with a psychologist. What did you do when I was gone?" He noticed Tee was a bit too lost at the moment. He saw his cousin act tough and bubbly because he didn't want to scare his mom but he was not himself, August could tell.
Tee nodded. "Nothing. Yeah... I watched that MV Bas worked on with P'Tae. He did good"
"Ahan, the one you had to do?"
Tee smiled. "It doesn't matter, he did it or I did it. He's like a little brother to me" he said genuinely. "He did it way better than I would've. I might just have ruined it. It's good it was him Gus. Atleast he acts his age"
August blinked. "P'Tee... you don't really think like that do you?" He asked carefully. "Or maybe... it's someone... you know someone else who said something bad..."
Tee smiled. "I might look stupid but, I can see..." he was again looking in the space."I think... I emm..." he frowned. Seeing the event as a outsider for the first time, he suddenly thought of something he never bothered with before no matter what.
"P'Tee khap, put you arm on P'Tae's shoulder na" a fan told him, she wanted a picture. Tee smiled sweetly at her looked at Tae who had his back turned towards them. He put his elbow at Tae's shoulder to pose for the fan when suddenly it got brushed away. He blinked for a split second but composed himself fast and smiled at Tae who also masked his displeasure as he turned around but not as fast as Tee and Tee clearly saw it.
'Stupid Tee! You shouldn't surprise a person like that! He must feel uncomfortable' he had scolded himself for that.
So, he wasn't annoyed with Bas. He had no issue with Copter hugging him. Tee mentally chuckled at that. "Do I smell?"
"What P?"
Tee smiled thinly. "Nothing, I forgot what I was thinking. I think I'll call to tell Bas I loved it" he spoke with a smile but didn't reach his eyes. No matter how hard he tried, he didn't sound like himself. He didn't sound okay.
