Nic looked at Bryan preparing some tools for the final shoot. To be honest, Nic is not really focused on what he is doing, given what he did last night.
While cleaning up, Nic's memory of last night slowly recalls as if back. Last night he drank sake with the rest of the crew and returned to the room after midnight.
Nic remembers that he kissed Bryan, though still vaguely. But Bryan's shadow immediately turned into the woman he had been looking for, the beautiful-eyed woman who filled his heart and mind. They made out, almost did more, until he was unconscious.
Nic is upset that his memories last night only stopped there. He wished he could roll it all back and remember it to the end.

Bryan and Nic return home in silence. Bryan didn't talk much because Nic didn't ask or talk to him. He himself tried not to look at Nic, because he would remember about the incident last night.
They returned to Mexico City on a commercial plane, just as they had left for Japan 14 hours after they both closed their eyes, busy with their own thoughts.
Arriving at the airport in Mexico City, they look for a taxi that will take them back to the studio. Bryan puts all the stuff they brought back into his place inside Nic's studio.
Nic, who had been feeling upset, finally ventured to talk to Bryan.
“Bry, did I do something to you last night?” nic asked while looking at Bryan.
“It does not seem like master. Last night I fell asleep and when I woke up, I saw you fall asleep without wearing any clothes at all, so I immediately enveloped you,” explained Bryan lying.
“Really?” Nic seemed to be scratching his head which was not itchy.
“Is there anything else, sir? Otherwise I will go home,” Bryan said.
“Ah is no more. Thank you for helping me, I will transfer your salary and bonus to you.”
“Thank you,” Bryan immediately said goodbye and left Nic alone. Nic sat down on the long sofa, thinking and thinking.

“Ahhh, is Mr Nicholas Gerardo back at my clinic?”
“Can I start telling you again? It looks like I'm crazy,” Nic said as he squeezed his hair.
“Sit here,” Luis asks Nic to sit on a long white sofa.
In his heart, there was a strange feeling when he saw his best friend like this. He does like to joke, but he will also be serious if there are things that he thinks cannot be for joking material.
“Tell me, slowly, do not rush.”
“I followed your advice. I kissed him, kissed the man. There's something inside me that vibrates and feels like something's stung. Her lips that felt soft and sweet seemed to be an opium to me. Every time I look into his eyes, my heart beats. Every time I look at her lips, there's something in me that starts to rise.”
Luis had no idea that Nic would follow his absurd advice. At that time actually he was only joking with Nic because he did not think Nic's condition would be this serious.
“Lalu.”
“Yesterday I just came home from Japan to do a photo shoot. At first I didn't want to take her, but because I really liked how it worked, I ended up taking her. He actually resigned from me because he had to go to college and he focused on working where he first worked.
There's not much I remember because it all felt vague and dreamlike, but it also felt so real. That night I kissed her again, even this time deeper than before. He seemed to get carried away as well and responded to all my actions. Even I felt we were already going to do further, but all of a sudden it went dark. I don't remember after.”
“You like all that?” ask Luis to Nic.
“I don't know. It's just that I wish I could finish it, finish it.”
“That means you want it,” Luis said.
“Just I feel weird. After I finished kissing her and undressed me and hers, I felt like she had turned into the beautiful-eyed woman I was looking for. The woman is very beautiful with long hair and a very beautiful body,” explains Nic.
“I feel you approach the man and like him, just because the man has the same eyes as the woman you are looking for, don't you?”
“Once, Luis. I don't know what I'm feeling right now,” Nic said.
“My advice, you better start staying away from him. You're not like this to other men, only to him. If your meeting with him is canceled, I think there will be a change in you.”
“You sure?”
“I don't know, but we'd better give it a try,” Luis suggested.
“Should I go back to G-Corp and help Dad Oscar? If I continue to be in the studio, I will depend on him because I cannot find another assistant and I will always remember him.”
“It's not a bad idea. Do it and come back here if you feel like there is no development. I will do hypnotherapy on you,” Luis said.
“Thank you for listening to me. Lately my head has been hurting because of this problem. I also feel afraid if both my parents know about my situation,” Nic said.
“I'll always be there for you, Nic. But don't forget about the payment, consultation with me is expensive,” Luis laughed after saying it, while Nic can only be throbbing.
