Gemini woke up with an unpleasant headache and a slightly too bright (in his opinion) light that was shining into his eyes.  And that hideous hospital smell.  He's never liked hospitals, and this is the third time he's ended up here in the last six months.  He slowly opened his eyes and blinked.  He expected shouts of joy and laughter, joy to be back among them, but instead he was answered by a gloomy, impersonal silence.

He was alone in the room, there was a trace of a cannula on his left hand, but the needle and the drip had been removed long ago.  He was also no longer connected to a screen monitoring his vital signs.

One look out the window was enough to understand that the terribly bright light did not come from the lamp on the ceiling but from the sun, a sharp, hot, nasty sun that announced a hot, muggy day, which would definitely include a storm.

Gemini sighed heavily.

He felt he had to use the toilet.  He got up and quickly went to the room behind the door.  To his surprise, he found a bag with his cosmetics there.  Who brought it and when?

After taking care of his morning toilet, including a quick, refreshing shower, Gemini felt much better, but his head still hurt.  He returned to the room and sat on the bed, thinking back to the previous day.

Suddenly he jumped up from the bed as if he had been burned, which caused his eyes to darken, and then tiny sparks appeared, flying in different directions, which only he could see.  This reminded him that he was still very weak.  Still, he had to find Dunk, he had to find out what was wrong with him.  The absence of anyone at his bedside when he woke up seemed suspicious.

“I just hope he's okay.  God, if you exist, I'm begging you, don't take my brother away.  Dunk is a good man, he wants to become a doctor like Dr. Khaotung, please, if there is any god, it would be better to take me than Dunk.  Dunk has a chance to do a lot of good things and I'm just causing problems."

Before he reached the reception desk, he passed a young man who looked strangely familiar, but he couldn't remember where he met him.  The man in dark ripped jeans and a white T-shirt with black face mask on seemed to pay no attention to anything and marched straight ahead at a fast pace, as if he knew exactly where he was going.  Some premonition made Gem turn around and hide behind this strange man.

Suddenly they stopped.  Gemini read the sign next to the door of the room the man entered: "Recovery room."

Wait a minute...

Recovery room?!

If Dunk was in surgery, and Gemini was sure he was, Dunk might be behind that door.  Without thinking, with his heart almost in his throat and holding his breath, Gemini slowly opened the unlocked door to look inside.  What he saw confirmed his worst suspicions.

The man stopped over the sleeping boy.  From this distance, Gemini couldn't clearly see his face, but again his gut told him it was his brother.  There was silence on this floor, allowing Gemini to hear a strange monologue.

“Don't worry, Dunk, they will pay for what they have done.  I can't get your brother, so I'll talk to you.  Who knows, maybe it's even better. Oh, you damn young Tangsakyuens, you always love to get into a throuble, huh?  I must admit that you are good at your job, that's why it must be you, yes, you're the best for this”.

And suddenly the man took out makeup remover and cotton pads from his backpack and started removing makeup from his face.  He had his back to the door, so Gem still didn't know who it was, but his voice was familiar too.  A moment later, the mysterious man did something else: he tugged on Dunk's pajama sleeve and started to wake him up.

“Billy?  What's going on?  What time is it?  Where am I?  You weren't going to kill me, were you?  Because I dreamed that... Anyway, never mind.  What brings you here?  Don't tell me it's a friendly visit!”

Dunk, half conscious, asked several questions at once.  The man named Billy replied.

“Relax, I come with peaceful intentions.  I have something that may help you, but for now you'll have to pretend you don't know me.  I came here as your brother, Phuwin.  P'Tong does perfect makeup, I made them  believe I was Phuwin.  I came to warn you. They're going to do some bigger drama, you have to be ready. Here, on your pen-drive, you have all the information.  Tell the boys, I have to go.  If I'm late for P'Mile's service, I'll face a severe punishment that I'd rather avoid.  Bye then.  And good luck”.

Dunk seemed to want to ask something, but Billy just pressed the memory stick into his hand and started to head for the exit.  Gemini couldn't let him see him, so he ran a few steps away and hid in the elevator, accidentally pressing the button for the floor below.  When the door opened, he stepped out and walked forward, deciding that he needed to go back to his room and change first, but he gave up on that idea a moment later.  He looked funny yet cute in his teddy bear pajamas and blended in more with the crowd.  He turned around and walked (this time up the stairs) back to the room where his brother was lying.  He needed to have a serious talk with him.

Dunk smiled happily when he saw him.

Half hour later...

“What are you doing here?!” Phuwin screamed in surprise at the sight of Gem sitting in the chair next to Dunk's bed.

“Uh-huh.  What is it about?  Why are you screaming and disturbing the peaceful rest of other patients?”

“I'll give you a rest now, you thoughtless egoist!” Phuwin was furious. He grabbed Gem by his pajama shirt and lifted him up almost effortlessly. His eyes were flashing with lightning.

“But what have I done so wrong?”

“You still have the nerve to ask?!”

“But I really don't know!  Let me go, Phu, it hurts!”

“And very well, it's supposed to hurt if you're such an idiot to leave your room without telling anyone where you're going! Do you realize that everyone is looking for you?! Fourth had a panic attack because of you!  Fortunately, Dr. Khaotung had already helped him.  Fourth thought you were kidnapped or even killed because of him!  You are a moron to the infinite power, Norawit!”

Phuwin almost never used his real name, and if he did, it meant he was seriously upset.

“Were you looking for m-me?”

Gemini stammered. Earlier, when he woke up and saw no one by his side, he thought that something bad must have happened to Dunk and everyone was blaming him, Gem. He wanted to get some info, he desperately wanted to know. He felt lonely and forgotten. And he was blaming himself for this all, but he never actually showed his real feelings, as always he was acting cool.

“Yes, we were looking for you.  We came to you as soon as P'Singto let us go after the interrogation.  It's not our fault it took so long!  P'Singto had to fill out a whole lot of paperwork, but then he let us go home.  Fourth had a surprise prepared for you that he was really proud of.  We were all hoping to find you in your room, we go in there and it's empty!  There is no one!  There is no patient, the phone is on the table next to the bed, the bedding is in disarray, only slippers are missing.  We were going crazy because of you!  We thought someone attacked you again.  Fourth began to panic, it was impossible to calm him down.  If only you could see him!  Poor boy!  Don't ever do that to him again!  If you're going to pull such tricks on us, you'd better get out of our family altogether!”

“I feel like you all love Fourth more than me, your birth brother, now”.

Gem's voice was bitter.

“Are you surprised at us?  Fourth had no control over who he became, he didn't choose the family he was raised in, and once his mind began to get rid of the poison passed down to him from his fathers, he began to think very clearly and sensibly and never wanted to hurt anyone.  You, on the other hand, have been a spoiled brat for years who always gets what he wants and never cares about others or what they feel.  Even yesterday you went to that fucking abandoned school by yourself without telling anyone about your intentions.  If it weren't for Heart, you and your Fourth would be dead right now.  Plus, you're the reason Dunk's hurt.  Do you even realize that you are the one who brings us all the danger?”

With each sentence Phuwin uttered, Gemini's fire began to burn him inside more and more, the desire for revenge grew, and for the first time since he had met Nattawat, a trace of a hatred also appeared.  He wanted to show them, prove them wrong.  He wanted to be self-sufficient, indestructible, invincible.  He hated it when they all only saw what they wanted to see.  The blood in his veins began to boil.  He clenched his hand into a fist.

“It's not my fault!  This Fourth is the son of mafia!  His twin may be responsible for the deaths of Heart and LiMing.  I got involved in this by accident! I didn't want to be inlvolved in this at the first place! I had no choice too! Let me remind you that I didn't bring this strange cartoon box myself! It was given to me! It was not my fault!”

“Accidentally, huh?  And weren't you the one who 'accidentally' dragged Fourth out of the crowd, taking away his chance to hide from his fathers and start a new life?  Weren't it you the one who insisted on conducting some stupid investigation because some damn ghost who probably only exists in your head told you so?  And wasn't it because of you that Prim kidnapped Fourth and wanted to kill him?  She was in love with you, you were the reason all along”.

Gemini couldn't take it anymore.

He wanted to run away somewhere far away.  Somewhere he could forget about everything, where he would be safe.  He didn't want to be famous or rich anymore, he didn't want to live in this prison built on lies to sustain his career.  He didn't want to hide anything from anyone anymore.  But most of all, he didn't want to be judged for what he did and didn't do.  He felt small and weak against the power of everyone around him.  Dunk saw this and grabbed his hand, squeezing it tightly to reassure him, to comfort him.

“Gemini, listen to me.  Phuwin is just upset, he doesn't really mean it”.

Dunk tried to reassure Gem. He shot a telling and reprimanding look at Phuwin, who responded with a shrug.

“I guess he thinks so.  If he didn't think so, he wouldn't have said it.  Okay, okay.  Dunk, give me back Billy's flash drive.  We're ending this stupid game.  I'll take care of it myself”.

“You can't! It's too dangerous! We need a plan, we need to...”

Dunk wanted to stop him, to forbid him from doing this. They both knew how dangerous it was. Gemini was stubborn. He stood up, straightened himself proudly and said with absolute seriousness:

“I will solve this matter myself.  Don't help me.  If I die, too bad.  If I find a solution, we all benefit.  Take care of Fourth, don't let anyone come to close to him and don't let anyone hurt him, I'll come back to my boo. I'll make him proud of me. He's the best and he deserves only the best version of me, so I have to become the best version of myself and I'll do it by solving this case. Wish me luck”.

"You can't do it alone!"

“You underestimate me and don't believe in me again.  Phu, it's time for you to finally understand that I am no longer your little brother that our mother told you to take care of.  I'm now a grown man who can take care of himself.  I'll be alright.  They won't defeat me.  Besides, I won't be alone.  I have P'Singto and P'First.  I don't need anyone else.  All you have to do is make sure Fourth doesn't get involved.  I don't want anything to happen to him.  You have no choice but to trust me, good bye, see you soon”.

And Gemini left before they could protest. Dunk and Phuwin were left speechless.

Gemini knew that what he had to do would be difficult, more difficult than anything he had ever done before, but he already had a plan in mind.  He just had to ask P'Singto and P'Erin for help.  He considered the best opportunity to carry out a provocation as a large concert, which their agency had been preparing for several months and which was to take place at the largest stadium in Thailand.  Gem couldn't share this plan with anyone else, not even Fourth or Phuwin.  He was afraid that one of them might, even accidentally, reveal the details to someone who shouldn't know.  The fewer people in the know, the better.  All the more so because Gem suspected that the pen-drive he was clutching in his hand contained information about who the perpetrator was, who was the murderer of Heart and LiMing, and who ordered the hijacking of the passenger plane with the boys on board.  .

He returned to his room, changed his clothes, and that's when Dr. Khaotung came by.

“Oh, nong Gemini!  Where did you come from?  I was here a few minutes ago and no one was here!  Where were you?”

“I went to visit my brother.  I wanted to know if he was okay.  Doctor, could I be discharged from the hospital now?  I have something important to do and it can't wait”.

“I'm not sure.  My boss wanted us to keep you for one more day for observation”.

“Please, doctor, this is very important”.

The doctor smiled.  Who could say no to Gemini's sweet eyes?

“Okay, I'll see what I can do.  Wait here for me and don't go anywhere else.  Your boyfriend will be here soon”.

“Excellent.  Thank you, doctor”.

“No problem.  That's why I'm here to help”.
