"I want you to stay with me, Sjin." Sips held the man's wrist tightly as they stood at the edge of the compound. The bearded man was ready and dressed to work hard to achieve the elusive Mahogany trees. Finally able to do so, he was itching to go but he was also torn between that feeling and the man holding him back now.

"Sips..." He starts to say, but he himself is not sure what should come next. He knows he should say something to put the man at ease but nothing comes to mind

"Don't say my name like that. I know you want to convince me you'll come back but you won't." Sips whines.

"I will come back!" he says, reassuringly.

"But when?!" He ask back, demandingly. "You could come back tomorrow or even a year from now. The amount of time doesn't matter because I will be here alone."

His words pierce Sjin's heart with guilt. The man before him means so much and hearing that hurts him deeply. "Don't say that. I want to stay but I also want to live my dream. Can't you understand that?"

Sips shakes his head. "No, I can't. How can you choose a farm over me?"

"I'm not choosing anything. I'm just leaving you for a little bit." The farmer answers.

"Then why can't I come with you?" The man asks, starting to whine a bit.

Sjin sighs slowly before embracing him tenderly. "Because you are the CEO of Sipsco, you big dumb dumb. You need to be here. I would love to take you with me but I simply can't."

Sips groans. "It's still so unfair. We've been together so long."

Smiling, Sjin nods. "We have, haven't we?"

Sips wrapped his arms around him too. "Yes... never forget that. Never forget how much I need you. I love you, Sjin."

"I love you, too." Sjin pulls him closer. "But I've still got to go. I promise I'll return often to check on you and of course, to cuddle you like this."

"You better..." Sips teased, holding him there for as long as he could.
