Chapter 6

Rence has been absent from school for almost a week. Since that happened to him, he hasn't gone to school. He rarely eats as well. He is always just locked up in his room. Kianne doesn’t know about it so he doesn’t visit him. Kianne on the other hand, decided that he will not continue with the plan for the mean time and at some point, doesn’t want to pursue it anymore. He’s really worried about Rence.

** flashback **

When Kianne entered the men's restroom, he immediately checked all the cubicles and saw Rence sitting on the floor, holding his stomach, and drenched in water.

He went out immediately and headed to the parking lot where his car was parked, took his jacket from inside, and went back to Rence. He helped him to stand up, put the jacket on him, and went to the parking lot. He took him back to the boarding house.

Kianne decided not to go to school for taht day because he thinks that Rence needs him.

Rence fell asleep in his car, so Kianne had no choice but to carry him. While he was heading to Rence's room, Kyle happened to be coming out of his own room.

"Bro, what happened?"

“Just a minor thing. Hey, can you open the door for me?" He told Kyle, because he was carrying Rence. Kianne lay him down on his bed.

"Bro, I need your help regarding this one," Kianne told Kyle while pointing at Rence. He needs to get changed.

"Okay, I’m out." And Kyle walked out the door. So it means Kiann’s gonna change Rence’s clothes himself. He still feels a bit awkward while being around him. But he has no choice, he’s the one who dressed Rence and saw everything.

** end of flashback **

It's Tuesday morning. Kianne and Rence don't have classes and Kianne is already feeling bored. He’s just stuck in my room. Kyle suddenly came in.

“Hey!”

"You know, you can knock first before entering my room." Kianne told him.

"Shhh.. By the way, what's your relationship now with Rence?” Kyle asked him. He gave Kyle a 'what do you mean' look and he just laughed at his.

"there’s nothing going on between us. I’m still sticking to the plan.”

"Ow-kay." Kyle told him.

"By the way, I haven't seen him for about a week now."

"I don't know about that. I haven’t seen him since that day.” Kiamme replied. But to be honest, he’s‘kind of’ worried.

"Why don’t you check him, I hope he’s not dead." Kyle suggested.

"I don't want to." That's all Kianne could say.

"Stop with the drama. You know, he needs someone to talk to in this situation. He needs you." Kyle told him. Kianne thought that Kyle really has nothing to say important.

“ Kyle’s really crazy. He's so weird.” Kianne told himself. But, he’s also curious to what could have happened to Rence? Why hasn't he come out of his room yet? He went to Rence’s room to check him. He knocked but no one answered, so he called his name.

"Rence?"

"Are you there?"

Kianne was knocking continuously but still no one answered. He opened the door and got shocked.

"Rence!" He was sitting in a corner. Staring blankly and crying. Kianne sat in front of him. Hes really worried.

"Rence." Are you o---" Kianne wasn’t able to finish what he’s going to say because Rence hugged him. He hugged him tightly. Kianne hugged him back.

And after a couple of minutes, Rence calmed down. Kianne helped him stood up, but he fell down. He was weak.

"You haven’t eaten anything, right? Don't think too much about what happened. I’m just here for you." kianne told him. That's just what came out of his mouth. He’s wondering why did he say that? Then, Rence looked at him with a 'what do you mean' look.

"Ahhh." Kianne stammered the question even though he knew Rence hadn't eaten yet. And he shook his head.

"Let’s go. Let’s eat together. Let's go downstairs." Kianne helped him stood up. Luckily he cooked some food earlier. Rence shook his head again and his stomach growled.

“Just wait here. I'll just get the food downstairs and then I'll bring it up here.” Rence still hasn’t replied, so Kianne went out and hurriedly got the food. When he got back, Rence was just sitting on his bed.

"Here. Eat a lot. You need that to have energy.” Kianne just sat on his bed and watched him. Rence wasn't touching the food. Ayy, he's really weak.

"Okay, open your mouth. I'll feed you." Kianne told him.

“He's actually cute too, hahaha. But it seems like I'm getting hungry too. I’m not yet eaten my breakfast.” Kianne told himself.

Rence noticed that Kianne was looking at him. Kianne find it so embarrassing.

"You can eat too, I know you're hungry," Rence told him. Kianne automatically looked at him. He finally speaks. Kianne just smiled and nodded at him. He followed what he said. They share the food together.
