Louis and Harry were best friend in high school, but they just met again about 2 months ago, while Louis was looking for a job and a flat.

That time Harry offered him to live in his flat, also inform him, that his job place still hiring for a cashier. It's in a seafood restaurant. So, Louis sent his application soon. And he was accepted 2 days ago.

Today tough, is Louis's interview day. But because, the restaurant far enough from their flat, they must take a train to go there.

At first, their trip's going fine, until the passengers add more and more. Because of that, the air in the train that cool before, turn to hot.

Minutes later, Louis start to feel a bit dizzy, and hot. Above that all, his nervousness that emerge since morning, increase. He wipes his sweat that drown his forehead repeatedly.

Harry whose talking about his activities after school, stop immediately.

"Lou, are you okay?"

"Huh? Oh...yeah, yeah. Just rather hot, and nervous."

Harry frown,"are you sure?"

"Yeah...mmm...anyway, how long again until we arrive?"

"Well, it's about 3 train station again."

"3?"

"Yeah, why?"

"No, nothing. Just want to know."

"Oh, okay then," Harry said unsurely.

When they pass 1 train station after, Louis's stomach start to whirl around. He rubs it gently while take a deep breath. It lessen a little, but not for long. Minutes later, the nausea rise again.

"Uh, H-haz, can we stop here? I-I mean-..."

Louis put his fist in front of his mouth. Harry turn and gasp when sees Louis's pale face.

"Oh, my...are you okay?"

Louis nodded his head. But truth is, he try to hold the urge to throw up. Luckily, Harry seems understand about his condition.

"I know you're lying, Lou. Okay then, hold on until we arrive at the station ahead, alright?"

Louis nodded again.

Finally, they arrive at the station. Harry guide Louis to climb out from the train, and bring him to the nearest bin. Louis crouched before let out a gag and vomit to the bin. Harry rubs Louis's nape whose still throwing up over and over, until he stop about 10 minutes later.

"Okay now?"

Harry ask while give him some tissues. Louis nodded before wipe his nose and mouth.

"Oh, God. I'm so ashamed, Haz."

Louis said lowly before bow his head in ashame. Harry put his arm around his shoulder and looking around.

"It's okay, Lou. There's not much people around."

"Yeah, come sit here, son. You'll be alright."

A voice heard from behind them. Louis and Harry turn their head. There's an old woman sit on the long bench. She flash them a warm smile while her hand pat an empty place next to her.

Louis and Harry gaze each other before sit down beside her.

"Uh, t-thank you, ma'am."

Harry said smiling sheepishly. The woman nodded, then give Louis a bottle water.

"Here, drink this. It will make you feel better."

"Oh, t-thank you, ma'am."

Now it's Louis turn who smile sheepishly, before he gulp it bit by bit.

"You're welcome, son. Where are you going anyway?"

And just like that, they're mixed up with some conversation about whatever things, including some humour, until Louis forget about his sickness, added with the water that seems freshen his whole body.

Finally, when the job interview started, Louis already back to his normal health, and he can pass the interview succesfully.
