"If you're not holding my hand since yesterday, all those beautiful moments are meaningless. I'll say this one to you from the bottom of my heart for your love in return, telling you and keep reminding you, thank you for still loving me."

A few years later...

The sound of the condo door unlocked and opened by someone distracted Bright who was sitting on his bed, leaning his back on the headboard, while reading a book. He narrowed his eyes to the bedroom door which was wide-opened even though he was wearing glasses. He tilted his head a bit because he was curious what it was, but too lazy to climb down the bed.

Not until his boyfriend showed his head with his body was hidden behind the wall.

"Hello, P'Bright." He greeted with a big smile, showing his teeth to Bright.

Bright emitted a deep sigh. He was 32 years old since last month and having a–next month would be–31 years old boyfriend who still loved to play like this. "Welcome back."

"Have you had dinner?"

"I have, how about you?"

"I have."

"And why are you still there hiding your body behind the wall?"

"I'm playing hide and seek with you."

"What? Did you buy me something?"

"How do you know? I bought you cakes."

"Of course I know. Stop playing now, I win. Bring the cake here, let's eat, so you can take a shower soon."

Win entered the room with a box contained 3 slices of cakes with various color and flavor. All from his siblings' business. They owned a dessert shop.

"New flavors?"

"Umm," Win said. "P'Ming dropped by just before I came home to give this to me, to you."

"To me?"

"Umm," Win nodded.

"Why? I always go there to buy the new product every time Souri announces it," Bright confused. "These flavors, they don't publish it on social media yet."

"I asked her to make it special for you," Win confessed. "It's a bribe, so you will love me more and more each day." He grinned.

Bright took a glance at Win, but he immediately looked at the cakes again. He spooned himself thrice, once per cakes. And then, he stared at Win. His head nodded. "Ok, I will love you more and more each day."

Playing along with Win was actually fun and Bright learned to enjoy it. It was his boyfriend's way to make him smile more often everyday.

"Now, put this cake on the fridge, then take a shower. No chatting. Go!"

Win got his ass off the bed. He ran to the bathroom before Bright scolding him for real. He was followed by Bright who went to brush his teeth in the wastafel and came back to the bedroom.

Talking about showering, Win always took his time every time he was doing it alone. He did it while singing his heart out. Of course, another one in the bedroom was happy to listen to 30 minutes of free concert. Each time Win forgot the lyrics, Bright would join singing until Win reached the part he knew again. Just like playing along with Win's joke, all habits of Win was a treasure for Bright. All of them made Bright happier.
