Episode 5

San and Second are sitting at the eatery after classes, San is miserable he's lost his keychain and the special for that particular keychain was over. His friend asks when he last saw it and somehow San suspects he may have lost in the room that day he'd seen Tae. When he tells his friend, he's wonders if there is a way to get it back. Second shrugs, the situation is a mystery.

At that moment, San's mother calls to say she is at their usual place and asks for San to meet her. San and Second depart and San makes to the fancy restaurant to meet his mother. They greet each other warmly and San sits opposite her and she orders drinks for them. They discuss grandfathers will and San explains he doesn't wasn't the business. His mother explain there's nothing they can do to change his mind, as they have all tried. San questions if he's sane of mind and his mother believes he is. His mother then goes on to explain, if anything happened to grandfather, she and aunt do what it takes to ensure he's not burdened with the business. At the end of their meeting, his mother passes him sweets made from the main house. San takes them and enquires why he's always getting passed sweets from the main house. Mother informs him the kitchen staff have been making them for grandfather but as grandfather can't eat them and San is the only other person who likes them, they are being passed onto him as to not unset the kitchen staff, who believe grandfather is receiving them.

San scoffs but says nothing and mother give a laugh.

San returns to his building and curiously enters the room. When he realises it's his room he lets out a loud sign of relief and sitting on the end of the bed, finally gets to eat one of the sweet. Taking a bite, he saviours the sweetness. It had been a long time since he last enjoyed the sweets and they were rarely made unless grandfather specially requested them.

Tae once more finds himself reluctant to enter his room and pulling out his phone calls up First's name before scolding himself for being scared. Prepping himself up, Tae unlocks the door and is immediately confronted by the sound of someone throwing up in the bathroom. Dropping his bag on the floor, Tae steps into the bathroom to find San bent over the toilet, as he throws up. Without hesitation, Tae immediately approached San and wrapping his arm around his shoulder tries to comfort him, while asking if there's any medicine in the room. San nods before throwing up again. Tae leave the bathroom and looking around the room, goes to the same place he keeps his medicine. Finding the container exactly where he keeps it, Tae immediately retrieve some pills and returning to the bathroom, takes the glass from the bathroom sink and fills it with water. Kneeling beside San, Tae encourages him to take the medicine. It take some effort to get San to listen and when he finally takes the pills, Tae places the glass back on the sink before attempting to get San up. Tae struggles with San's large frame but manages to get him to his bed. Tucking him under the cover, Tae sits at the head of the bed, while San's head rest again Tae's thigh.

San's covered in sweat and Tae goes to get up before San clutched at Tae's pants, stopping him from leaving. Tae quickly explains he's going to get a towel and small tub of water to bath him and only then does San let him go. Tae returns to the bed and gentle begins to bath San. San's eyes remain close, his breathing heavy and Tae ignores the strangeness of their situation as he continues to bath San. When done, Tae returns the towel and tub to the bathroom and comes back to the bed. Kneeling beside the bed, Tae looks at San, his face showing the pain he was in. Tae gently reaches out and began to massage San's head.

"Stay." San murmured barely without opening his eyes.

Tae glances around the room before returning his eyes to San. Slowly he rose and lay himself down beside San above the covers. San slightly turned towards Tae, his head this time resting again Tae's shoulder. Tae, slightly uncomfortable, freezes momentarily, before moving his arm up and under San's head and pulls his closer to rest his head on his chest. San doesn't resist as he falls into a deep sleep. Tae gently rubs San's back as his eyes grow heavy and he too falls asleep.
