Oak,The lanky boy whom Kong had saved came back with help...Wat, Tine and the gang had disappeared knowing Kong was hurt and not wanting to face consequences now tat they realised the gravity of their actions...

Seeing Kong lying in a pool of blood,oak had asked his friends to help take him to the university hospital as it was the nearest...

Once in the emergency room, they were met by knot, who was on duty tonight..seeing who it was, he asked tersely "Wat happened?"

" Some boys threw liquor bottles at him. And one hit him on the head" they said...

"Who did this? Students from our university?"

"Yes, P'..they were bullying me and this boy saved me..so they took out their anger on him.." said Oak, feeling miserable...

"Don't blame urself" said Knot "we ll take care of him, u can go back to ur dorms...are u his friends?"

"No, P' I don't even know his name"

"K, then, if want u can come visit him tomorrow,now go on"

And the boys left..

Knot set about checking the depth of injury..he turned Kong over..the blood had coagulated so it was not a deep wound...he then checked for any stray glass shards in his skin and started to disinfect and clean the wound..then put on clean dressing...he cleaned the others scrapes on his arms and neck disinfecting them...

Then he booked Kong under a private room and had him shifted there for observation..

Now, taking his phone he called Arthit...

"Wats up Knot? Aren't u on duty tonight?"said Arthit grumpy at being woken up..

""Get ur ass down here Arth..ur lover boy's here..I have put him in a private room and his frens don't know he's here yet"

"I ll be right there.." said Arthit and grabbed his car keys,not bothering to change his pajamas.. rushing out at jet speed...he hadn't even asked Knot why kongpob was in the hospital..he just hoped he's fine..

He arrived at the hospital and went straight to the room...Knot had texted him the number.

He walked upto the bed,looking at the sleeping figure, the drip attached to his already thin arm making him look so frail....he looked so much like his Tuan he thought, his heart skipping a beat...the familiar butterflies in his stomach started fluttering..a small ache crept up in his chest on seeing his wounds...he has become so handsome, his thin lips were fuller now,cheeks slightly chubby..his arms also showed some traces of muscle now...

Arthit sat down on the chair beside the bed, and taking the boy's hand in his he ran his thumb over his fingers and whispered " Why does it hurt so much if your not him? Why do I feel like ur my Tuan? If u are really Tuan why did u lie to me and leave??" Silent tears now flowed down Arthit's cheeks and he kissed the inside of the boy's wrist...

Kong stirred in his sleep and muttered something, so Arthit let go of his hand..he walked to look over at Kong's belongings in his bag,searching for some sign,a clue linking him to the past..he found his phone,but he couldn't unlock it to get his friend's numbers or check for clues..so he just called Bright and asked him to inform Kongs friends immediately...may be they might know something..

Knot finished his duty and came over in the meantime..

"Who did this to him Knot??how did he end up here?"

"Apparently he played hero and saved a boy from being bullied and the bullies turned on him..its just a flesh wound but we need to observe for a concussion. Have u informed his friends ?"

"I couldn't unlock his phone, so i called Bright and asked him to do it"Arthit replied..

"So is he the same boy?" Knot asked out of curiosity...

" I don't know Knot..my heart feels some pull on seeing him...I feel alive by just being here with him...but I am not sure..if he's Tuan why did he fake his death?"

"I don't know Arthit, nor can anyone but him answer tat question..so make sure u give him a chance once he wakes up...don't jump to conclusions ok..."

And Arthit just nodded...

Knot stayed with Arthit waiting for Kong's friends to turn up..Rome and Em came rushing in, a few minutes later...they were shocked to see Kong unconscious and his head swaddled in a thick bandage..

They politely waiied the seniors and asked "What happened to him P'...?"

Knot being the one who treated him explained what had happened and that he would be kept for observation for 24 hrs..

The two nodded and Rome agreed to stay the night there while Em would come in the morning...

After Em left Arthit walked upto Rome, "This friend of urs..how long do u know him?"

" Since the first day of college P' why?"

"Just wanted to know...take care of him will u?he seems delicate.." Arthit said and left the room with Knot..

Rome was puzzled..Why had the senior said that??didn't make any sense though so he just shrugged it off and took to the couch to take a nap before morning came...

In the morning Em relieved Rome as he had class only in the afternoon...Around 10 o clock in the morning, it was Arthit who came to check on Kong...

"Has he woken up yet?" He asked Em..the boy shook his head looking worried..

"when he wakes up can u alert the nurse to call me?"

Em nodded "Sure"..

And after checking other vitals he left not wanting to stay and arouse suspicion among Kong's friends...

About half an hour after Arthit's visit Kong woke up...His head felt as if a hundred hammers were banging on it even if he moved it slightly...the pain was so intense his eyes started watering...he felt someone stir near him...

"Kong are u ok?"Em asked when he saw he was awake..

"Except for this horrible headache am fine , where am I?"he asked,his voice sounded hoarse to him..

"You are at the university hospital, wait let me call the nurse" he said and pressed the call button..

Instead of the nurse it was Arthit who came rushing in..as though he had been waiting for this call..

He saw Kong was awake but in pain..He composed himself, and walked in as though it was a routine for him and he did it with all patients..

"I was at the nurse station when i saw ur call so i came myself "he found himself explaining to Em who looked at him curiously..

On hearing his voice he felt Kong stiffen....though he did not open his eyes..Arthit moved closer and touched his head , making him shiver slightly...

"How are u feeling?" He asked almost a whisper bending close to his ears..

No reply...

"Kong?? Can u hear me?"

"Huh... ye..ye...yes...I...I...am fine..just a bit of headache" Kong stammered..he had recognised Arthit and he was scared he ll give something away if he spoke or opened his eyes...

Arthit was standing too close for comfort..and Kong was starting to hyperventilate..

"Can u open ur eyes? Lòok at me..can u see me clearly?"

Kong couldn't still keep his eyes closed without making him suspicious so he opened his eyes..

"Yes..I can see u clearly" he said..

Arthit then picked up a torch and shone it in his eyes..making Kong widen his eyes..hoping against hope he wouldn't notice the contacts...

"U have sight issues?? " there goes his hope that he wouldn't notice..

"Ye..yes..I have far sight. So I wear lenses" he explained..

Arthit didn't delve further, but just let it go..the more he studied Kong the more his suspicion was being confirmed..those were definitely coloured lenses....there was just one more tiny thing which would finally identify him..which was why he had exchanged with Knot to be here today...

" You will experience pain ,like intense headaches for a few days..so its nothing to worry..but if it continues for more than a week or anytime randomly when u over work or are stressed i want u to come back for a follow up ,is tat clear?"

"Okay" Kong replied not daring to nod..

"Good, " then he began writing a prescription for pain killers..and gave it to Em "can u get these from the pharmacy?"

Em nodded and started to leave totally oblivious to the scared pleading look Kong was giving him,trying to say don't leave me alone...

" I have prescribed pain killers but don't take them without the need ok?" Arthit said looking at Kong studying his lips and cheeks and eyes, the eyes specially which avoided meeting his...

Kong heard a rustle of plastic and turned around to see Arthit trying to load a syringe..NO WAY!! Not tat pls pls...I can't do it..he ll find out its me..thought Kong desperately...

"Wat s tat?" He asked panic in his voice...

Arthit smiled to himself and made a show of checking the liquid level in the syringe,his plan had got the required reaction.."I am giving u a tt shot...don't want ur wounds getting infected"he said without turning around...he knew his Tuan hated needles and wat ever disguise he put on he couldn't change his fear...

He turned around and saw wat he was expecting, Kong had moved to the far corner of the bed,fear evident in his eyes..."pls don't put me through tat..I hate needles"he pleaded..

"Its only a needle Kong come here I promise it won't hurt" Arthit called smiling reassuringly at him..Kong only moved further away and shook his head not bothering about the pain in his head....he was freaking out now...

Arthit sat on the bed and took Kong's hands in his.."look at me" he said,but Kong had shut his eyes in fear..."Look at me Kongpob "he said louder,making him open his eyes..

Kong stared back at those brown orbs mesmerized, listening to the voice tat kept telling him it is ok, its not going to hurt and the hand which kept touching him and reassuring him..the lips which kept smiling showing those lovely dimples which he had missed so long...and Kong didn't even feel the needle..

When it was over he had tears in his eyes but not cause of the pain but cause of feeling how much he missed this closeness with his P'Kit..

He was still dazed when Em came back with the medicines and Arthit left....too abruptly, not saying a word..
Kong wondered, had he found out??
