Back at the apartment, Mingke tries to get Mingke to let him out of the contract, but Mingke refuses. Mingke tells Mingke that the contract is still in force, and Mingke begs Mingke not to worry about it. He says that he hasn't seen Mingke for a while, and that he's going back to school, so he should hug Mingke and check on his health, since Mingke's vacation is coming to an end soon. When Mingke asks if Mingke has lost any weight, he says that it's his summer vacation now, and he has work to do, but he doesn't have time to do it all at once. He asks Mingke if he has been nice to him, and when Mingke says that Mingke was nice to Mingke, he asks if he was with Mingke the way Mingke did, and if he likes Mingke now, he replies that he does, but that he can't speak it out because Mingke isn't his girlfriend. He also says Mingke told him that he wasn't going to ruin their friendship, so Mingke won't let Mingke touch him tonight, and then Mingke will be safe. He wonders why Mingke is hooking up with so many men, and why he is always coming back to the Empire Garden to visit Mingke. He's also wondering why he'll have to ask Mingke which way he should go, since he knows Mingke already has a crush on Mingke
