I couldn't sleep for the first half-an-hour, when finally Hoya coaxed me to close my eyes before I could ruin my chances of having fun the next day. I smiled and without any protest, sank inside my dreamless slumber. Soon, I smelled something beautiful and I quickly woke up as I recognized the delicious fragrance of pancakes and coffee.

"How did you--?" My mouth fell open in shock as I watched Hoya set up a small table covered with a checkered tablecloth. I stepped out of the jeep and stretched, taking in the beauty of our surroundings. The air was cleaner and I felt fresh after admiring the hills. Hoya had pulled us over at a sunrise spot and the road behind us was broad and deserted. I looked around and realized that the two of us were the only humans present.

"We didn't go through a time warp, right?"

Hoya laughed at the genuine curiosity in my voice and patted the blanket he was sitting on.

"I made you your favourite banana pancakes and coffee," he chimed with pride. I sat next to him and raised my arms above my head.

"Thank you!" I haven't had any good food in so long, the wedding has made JiHyun and Kairi crazy about my---"

"Sshh!" Hoya placed a finger on his lips and furrowed his eyebrows. I pouted and cocked my head to the left.

"What hap--"

"Whose JiHyun?" Hoya suddenly asked. He then poured some coffee for himself and shrugged. "Kairi?"

After a momentary silence, I caught his drift and shrugged my shoulders too. "Don't know. I only know you, right?"

"You're a fast-learner," Hoya complimented with a grin. "That's our rule for these two days. If you want to run away properly, then you also need to run away from your worries." He poked my temple, making me narrow my eyes at him. However, instantly I nodded in glee and took a sip of the coffee.

"Definitely..." I my lips. "This is Hoya coffee!" I put down the coffee and spread butter on my plate of pancakes, slurping the maple syrup when it almost ran out of my mouth. Hoya laughed and I looked at him while smiling. My eyes glanced around and I cleared my throat.

"But really, where are we?" My stomach lurched when Hoya gave his mischievous look and waved his hands to the scenery.

"Student!" he shouted. "How can you NOT know your geography? The beautiful Aravalli hills!"

My eyes almost popped out of my head. "We're in Rajasthan."

Hoya nodded but as seconds passed, he looked unsure. "Too far?" he asked carefully.

I blinked at him and looked at my watch. "How long did it take for you to drive us here?"

Hoya rubbed the back of his neck and answered. "Four hours...why?"

I nodded and clicked my tongue. "Nothing."

I continued eating but from my peripheral glance, Hoya's worried expression entertained me.

"Yah," Hoya pinched me. "Ow!" I complained. "What??"

"Tell me, do you have a problem or not? YOU only said you wanted to get away for a while, how can one play around in a crowded place like Delhi...."

Hoya stopped when I grabbed his neck, pulling him in an embrace. I closed my eyes and let my heart swell. Hoya, my best friend. How long had it been since we last spent time like this?

"You know," I murmured. "The last time we were together was when Woohyun disappeared on the day of my birthday... when you slept over at my place, remember?" I felt Hoya nod and continued. "Believe it or not, I did not miss Woohyun at all. It wasn't because I loved him less."

I pulled away and smiled. "It's because I loved you more than I thought I would."

Hoya just looked at me. Finally, he broke into a smile and pulled my cheeks. "Fool," he muttered and lifted the fork that had a piece of pancake stuck on it.

"Eat," he said and like a good friend, I decided not to pay attention to his moist eyes and wiped off my plate.
