When JD stepped out of his unit and headed out of his apartment, he saw Hendrix's silver BMW parking by the side, with a bouquet of red roses on hand. JD shook his head in disbelief and walked towards Hendrix, whose smile is as bright as the blazing sun.

"What are you doing here so early?" JD quipped with a smile. Hendrix passed the lovely red roses to JD, opened his car door and said, "I am here to drive you to work and to earn some impression points."

"You don't have to do that, I am doing fine. I get over sorrows easily and you already sent me home last night." JD said appreciately while inside the car. Hendrix just kept smiling and never replied.

Both of them listen to the friendly banter on radio and laughed occasionally at the jokes that the radio deejay cracked. JD felt peaceful and mindful of Hendrix's efforts. When they reached JD's office, JD said, "Hendrix, it's weekend tomorrow. I am thinking of heading down to the beach. You wanna join me?"

Hendrix's eyes opened wide and mumbled, "You are asking me along? You mean I have passed the test to officially date you?" JD laughed, "Hendrix, it's not a date. But I am thankful of you being here last night and now. It's just an outing to the beach. So keen or not?" "Yes! Of course!" Hendrix smiled.

JD walked passed Kai's cubicle on his way to his cubicle and as usual, Kai wasn't there. He smiled and thought to himself, "It's over. It's a new beginning. Time to look forward." He was deep in thoughts when Robbie pat him on the shoulders.

"Why are you smiling at yourself? Are you ok? Don't tell me you are on the brink of a mental breakdown? Gosh, let's go see a shrink now!" Robbie rattled off in his usual loud exaggerated tone.

"Robbie, it's time you grow up. Don't be such an idiot. Your jokes really fall flat most of the times." JD snapped. "Well, at least I brought you out of your state. So tell me, why so happy? You bedded that delicious piece of meat?" Robbie said with a wink.

"I have no idea what you are talking about. I need to go back to work, you can continue daydreaming if you like." JD shook his head and said. Robbie, getting the hint, replied, "You don't have to be smug about landing a rich man. No big deal, I have my fair share too. Mark my words, they are either trying to bed you or they have small dicks! Most ain't serious anyway. Just make sure you don't walk into another trap after what had happened between you and Kai."

JD stared at Robbie and snarled, "Don't bring Kai into our conversation. I have nothing to do with him. What had happened was no big deal. I want you to know that and bear that in mind. Don't make jokes about us anymore and don't go around spreading rumours." Robbie bent forward and inched so close to JD that JD smelled his fresh breath, then looked at JD's eyes and said, "I am glad you snapped out of it. Kai isn't really the kind of guy we gays can handle. See you later!"

JD took his mug and made his way to the pantry to make coffee when he bumped into the disheveled Kai. He has never seen Kai so untidy and his eye bags were heavy and droopy. Both of them stood in the pantry, with mugs in their hands, silent. JD was about to turn back when Kai whispered, "Don't turn your back on me. I am suffering. Give me another chance, JD!"
