Kong was leaning onto Arthit with one hand as he tested holding the crutches with the other.. he has been advised not to put too much weight on his injured leg and so he had to choose crutches or being wheeled around ..he chose the crutches as he didn't want to trouble someone else always...

He walked around a few steps and soon got the hang of it..

"Remember, walk only when absolutely needed Tuan. No hobbling around for the fun of it." Arthit admonished him..

"Yeah, yeah P'Kit "

"Don't u get cheeky with me or I ll put u on bed rest..."Arthit pinched his cheeks..

"No, please I can't stay in bed all day..it's torture... I ll do anything u want P' just don't ask me to stay in bed na na na.."cried Kong

Everyone laughed seeing Kong's tantrum talk and he blushed trying to hide his face..now tat P'Kit knew who he was, he had gone back to their old ways of talking to each other..

Kong had thanked everyone for being with him and helping Arthit find him. He was overwhelmed by all their concern and love, how they all stood by him and protected him...he felt that he had gained a true family among them..

Arthit helped him to walk to his car once the discharge paper's were ready, they had made plans with the others to meet at 7 and said goodbye, he took Kong's crutches and opened the door, guiding him in...he then put the crutches in the back seat and got into the driver's seat...

He turned and looked at Kong seeing him struggling with the seat belt he bent over intending to help him..and felt Kong's breath hitch...he looked up to see Kong watching him his lips slightly open and he could even hear his heartbeat out loud...just seeing Kong so close did things to him...it always did since they were little..damn he missed him, he is even more handsome now tat he had grown up, his lips are fuller and plump, his lashes long and they framed his eyes seductively as he blinked slowly, his cheeks a tint of pink as he blushed...if he could, he would just forget where they were and ravish him in the car despite his injured leg...

He fought to tame to monster in him urging him to just go for it..no they had time..he would give Kong his space....wait for him to be ready...he turned abruptly diverting his thoughts, just clicking the seat belt lock and slowly moving away...

He started the car and drove out..once they were on the road he put his free hand on Kong's and felt him turn his palm up to link fingers..."tired??"

"A bit." he said leaning onto Arthit's shoulder..

Arthit turned off the ignition once he had parked his car in the basement and walked to open Kong's door.. Kong waited for him to give him the crutches but instead Arthit slipped his arms under his legs and lifted him up bridal style..

"P'Kit, I can walk..I am too heavy for u to carry all the way."

"Only u imagine urself to be heavy Tuan. U are the same as u were 5 years ago, light as a cherry blossom. Now shut up and press the button for the lift..."he said.

Arthit carried him all the way upto his room and laid him on his bed..

"No moving till I get back Singtuan. I am going to get our things from the car..then I ll get some hot water to sponge u off..ok? Rest till then. "

Kong nodded knowing its futile to argue with Arthit.

Twenty minutes later Arthit made his way up to the bedroom, a bowl of hot water and a towel in his hands..He had washed up in the guest room downstairs and changed into comfortable house wear of a grey hoodie and track pants.

As he opened the bedroom door he heard soft snores from his bed. Kong was adorably asleep hugging his pillow with his mouth slightly open..he looked so peaceful..

Arthit dipped the cloth in the water and squeezed it..he started wiping Kong slowly not to wake him. He removed his clothes and wiped him careful not to wet his bandages. He then got a pair of shorts and a tank top from the closet with fresh innerwear and changed him...and all through it Kong slept like a baby..being a doctor Arthit had seen a lot of naked bodies, still Kong's physique never ceased to stir carnal feelings in him...

Burying his lecherous thoughts, Arthit went to make dinner and get some snacks ready for the evening meeting..

His friends and the juniors arrived together...they had become more like one group in the past few days Arthit observed..he could see the potential couples all sticking together..Em with Tay and Wad with Prem...the latter were more open than Em and Tay who seemed to still be in denial of their feelings. Though they enjoyed each other's company there still were some awkward silences when they accidentally touched each other..

The next thing tat caught Arthit's attention was how Rome's eyes followed Bright everywhere..he could tell the junior was clearly in love, but Bright, being who he was, was oblivious to all the signals Rome was sending his way..

"Rome, Wad, Em can u guys wake Kong up and help him to come down..it's almost time for P'Lee to arrive..." Arthit asked, and watched as the three of them walked joyfully up the stairs planning on how to wake their fren...

"Bright, help me to arrange the food on the table naa.."Arthit called walking into the kitchen, he felt he could atleast give Bright a nudge in the direction to happiness...

Bright followed him and set about arranging the food in trays...

"Bright, wat do you think of Rome?"Arthit ventured cautiously..

"Rome? He's quite a cheeky imp, gets on my nerves always, trying to tease me, but there's nothing wrong with him except his naughty attitude, he's kinda cute if u ignore his mischief .. why?"

" Have you ever thought of why he teases you Bright?"

"Yeah, maybe because he thinks he doesn't need to respect me, or he hates me, who knows?"

" Has it ever occured to you that he may be trying to get ur attention?"

" Why would he need my attention, its not like we are.............", his hands stopped midway and his voice trailed off..he blinked and looked at Arthit shocked.

"Right..."smiled Arthit picking up his tray , preparing to walk out...

"Wait, you mean to say he likes me?"

"Why else would he bother to go through all the trouble of teasing you Bright?"Arthit smirked setting the tray down and turning to face Bright..

"Why would he like a person like me?I mean he's rich and handsome, I am not both and I have no sense of fashion. Which he should be bothered about being a student of fashion design. He can't been seen with a person who dresses in floral beach shirts all around the year..Don't pull my leg Arthit.." he said clearly irritated by the time he finished stating the obvious reasons..

"How about we make a bet? You ask him directly..if he says yes, he loves you, I win, if he says no, you win. Deal?"

" What do I get if I win?" Bright asked thoughtfully...

"Hmm how about my Maserati? I know u like tat car..and if I win you agree to be his boyfriend.." Arthit said challenging him by extending his hand to shake, one brow raised..

"That car is ur baby...."Bright whispered as he looked at him, his mouth open, and shook hands sealing the bet..he had nothing to lose anyway.

He was still dazed as Kong came down his frens helping him down the stairs. The doorbell rang at the same time signaling tat their guest had arrived..

The boys all welcomed the inspector, thanking him for his timely help the other day...

"Did those two reveal anything else to you P'?" Knot asked curious if they had confessed to the dealings happening in the hospital..

"Apart from Namtarn accepting she asked Jay to kidnap Kong as she was jealous of Arthit and Kong getting close, they haven't said a word...Jay we doubt s not right in his mind..I am having a psychiatrist check him tomorrow. He keeps showing symptoms of split personalities giving us vague answers during questioning and acting forgetful.."he glanced at Kong when he said this...

Kong gulped..he rubbed his palms on his shorts, his fear returning at the mention of Jay..

Arthit noticed this and thought that Kong was still badly shaken by the kidnapping...

"Kong, can I talk to you alone for a bit? Before we discuss the issue Arthit mentioned I need to confirm something personal. " Inspector Lee asked.

Kong looked up at him, uncertainly, then he looked at Arthit as though begging him tat he didn't want to do this alone..

"P'Lee can I be there when you talk to Tuan? I am sure he'll agree to my presence.."Arthit said looking at Kong as though asking if its ok..

Kong nodded, highly relieved..and Arthit then helped him up, leading them into the study downstairs, near the guest room..it was sound proof so nobody could hear wat they spoke from the outside..

After settling Kong comfortably on the recliner, Arthit sat next to him on a chair, facing P'Lee who was seated on the high backed leather armchair.

"Kong, this may be a kinda sensitive topic for you, but I hope u can be honest and tell me the full truth as it will help us put Jay under lock and key for a very long time.." Lee ventured.

Kong gulped again at the mention of Jay's name, and gripped Arthit's hand tightly almost crushing his fingers...

Arthit placed his other hand on Kong's, patting it, assuring him of his presence and support..

" I would like nothing better than to eliminate that bastard from society P'...I ll try to do anything I can to help.." he said softly, tears brimming his eyes, as he tried bravely to blink them back..

"Thank you Kong, you're very brave..the way you tried to fight yesterday proved it without doubt..you may have guessed why I am here..I need any information I can get Kong, every detail, anything you can remember, pls..take ur time..I am willing to wait.."

Kong nodded, tears streaming down his cheeks. He bit his lips trying to calm himself..after a minute he calmly began reciting every detail of wat had happened at his new school three years ago..

As he spoke Arthit's grip tightened..it was now Arthit who was crushing Kong's fingers, as he tried to control the rage building up in him..his blood boiled as he heard each act tat Kong described with a trembling, detached voice.. If he ever met Jay in this life again he swore he would torture him to death before killing him..
