"Chapter 18- Goodbye" [end of Season 1]

"you said we need to act like spouses... to get a discount in this cafe?" he raised a brow while looking at Tristan while they are in front of the entrance, "let me correct that for you, it's a cafe resto, it's owned by a friend of mine," he said while fixing his coat, "indeed, it was owned by your friend, but why do we act as couples to get a discount?" Klein held the hem of Tristan's coat to pull him away from the entrance, "why are you dragging me away? you don't like it here?" Tristan asked confused, "no, we're blocking the entrance," he said standing in a near lamp post, "I'm just confused why we need to act like spouses," he again asked Tristan, Tristan gave him a sheet of paper that is crumpled from his coat, "what's this?" he asked Tristan, "open it," he said shortly,

'DEAR TRISTAN,'

'bring your spouse to the cafe, if you don't have one, then... sorry but you're a loner, goodbye.

-xoxo Nathan'

'what kind of letter is this?' Klein thought while his eye twitched, "what the heck is this-" Klein asked as if he's disgusted by the letter, "TRISTAN!!! OMG, YOU'RE HERE!" someone shouted his name as they slammed open the entrance door, Tristan just waved awkwardly towards them, "IS THAT YOUR SPOUSE? I THINK THAT'S YOUR SPOUSE," he said while looking away at them gesturing someone, 'man... I didn't think that someone like Tristan will have an extroverted friend like him,'

"I didn't think you would actually come, Tristan," a woman went out of the restaurant, she's wearing a dark red outfit with golden accessories, she ran towards Tristan and hugged him, "uh, Brea, he came with his spouse," Nathan awkwardly said while pulling her away from Tristan, "oh my bad," she said looking at Klein with disgust, Klein looked at her up and down while his arms are crossed, "My name is Brea, your spouse's "close friend"," she said obnoxiously which made Klein annoyed, she slightly giggled cutely while clinging on Tristan's arm, Tristan tried to let go, Klein took off Brea's hands on his arms, "The names Klein, please respect out relationship Ms. Brea," Klein clasped her hand while smiling forcibly,

"you seemed angry at Brea," Tristan said while walking Klein home, "her actions are annoying, it's informal," Klein said looked away as soon as he answered, "really? you're not jealous?" Tristan teased him as his hand intertwined with Klein's, "why would I be," he asked while covering his face with the scarf he's been wearing, "Elesta is moving fast and planning something wicked, are you sure you're safe?" Tristan changed the subject because of concern, "yeah, I think so, if I had early graduation, I might go to Canada," Tristan stopped walking and slowly let go of his hand, "you're leaving me?" he said while his eyes staggered as he stared at Klein looking back at him, "I... it's not like that you know, I will just claim what's mine," he said while he walked towards to Tristan, "I'm yours, why don't you claim me first while I'm still near?" Tristan mumbled as he stared at the ground, "Tristan, I must claim the small company which was abandoned by my illegitimate sister for the main company, I don't want that small company to go to waste," Klein took off his gloves and held his face tenderly with his hands, "how many years are you gonna stay there, can you handle the company alone?" he mumbled concernedly while holding Klein's hand firmly, "too many questions," Klein laughed and sighed, "give me 4 years and 3 months, and I'll be yours after," he smiled as he slowly let go of his face and grasping Tristan's hands,

"do you promise," he leaned closer to Klein's face, "I promise," he bumped his forehead with Tristan's, "once I come back, let's do the things we want to do," Klein said closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, "yes, let's do that," he muttered and smiled,

[9 months later...]

"Are you sure, you're going alone in Canada?" Laurice asked Klein while she helped him carry his luggage, "you just graduated college at the age of 23 two months ago, are you sure you're going there immediately?" she nags him with a lot of questions, "my sister abandoned that small company because she doesn't know why she needs to run a small company when she inherited illegally the main one," he stated while helping Laurice carry his luggage, "I already texted Stewart about the company, and he gladly gave it to me since I really inherited it legally, he's just the temporary CEO,"

"Still, do you think... you can handle it alone?" she asked concerned, "well, I major business for a reason," he winked as he chuckled, "it's not funny okay? it's dangerous," her expression became serious, "our fabricated debts are now solved, and I have saved enough money to buy the things I want," he sighed while walking towards to Laurice, "I can handle myself, thank you for everything, Aunt," he said embracing her tightly knowing he's gonna miss her, Laurice patted his back, "you've grown big and strong, call us if anything happens," she said patting his shoulder, Tristan came holding one of Klein's luggage, "Tristan," he let go of Laurice, "have a safe trip, alright?" he handed one of his luggage, "thank you... Tristan..."
