"Will you give me a break from cursing me?" Aim requested in his serious tone while keeping his eyes on the road. Kongpop shake his head and did more. How wouldn't he? When his best friend becomes a moron and tricked him to accept the party invite which he has no interest in at all.

"Kong, I tried my best to give you peace," Aim continued in his serious tone.

"Then why the fuck did you call our friends and agreed to join them?" Kongpop fumed in complete frustration.

"To test if your statement, 'I am fine and fit as a brick' is true or not," Aim chuckled firing his best buddy anger more.

Kongpop hissed at his friend for the tease, "But Kongpop, our gang told they won't go without their head hazer, what you want me to do?" Aim questioned, giving his reason.

"where did your concern goes when you rejected the invite first? And suddenly why did you change your priority from me to our gang?" Kong asked softly feeling not much hurt.

"Sorry," Aim replies short and earned an assent hum from his friend.

"By the way why red? Is not black your thing when it comes to a party?" Aim asked trying to distract his friend from thinking about his senior.

Kong clutched the shirt fabric tightly with a deep inhale, he wanted to let out the truth of missing someone who loves red and illuminate the surrounding with it but he did the opposite, kept silent and stared out through the window.

Soon the duo reached the spot, "we seem earlier," Kongpop remarked before closing the lift to move to the 18th floor where a party hall is booked for their get together.

Kong was startled and backs away when his gang jumped in his arms after he step out of an elevator. He eyed his friend for help who smirked slyly.

"G-guys you are killing me" Kong squeezed softly.

Aim went panicky after seeing who is the person close to kong, he quickly broke the group hug and glared at one particular person who glared back before moving to kong's side and hugging his arms.

"May!" Aim yelled in his warning tone, especially after seeing kong lean towards her head with a peck on her hair.

May blushed deep red after receiving care from kong for the first time. All the friends broke into a laughter seeing Aim and May bickering.

"You scared us, buddy! How are you doing?" Tew asked coming to his other side pushing jealousy Aim aside.

"Stop worrying us!" Prae kicked his calf coming to his behind.

"Ouch! Stop it guys! I am fine and fit..:::

"As brick!" Aim finished sarcastically and earned a growl from kong.

"Kong, you remembered my wife Tina ? she is also here," Tew said gestured the two ladies who were standing a little far from them to come close.

Tina smiled and exchanged greetings with Kongpop, he asked who is another girl to Tew.

A pretty head peaked behind Kongpop and landed on his shoulders, "she is mine, sexy doesn't she?" Prae asked with a wink at her girlfriend and earned a smack from Maprang.

Kongpop laughs and exchanged his greetings with her too. It was so pleasant that he forget about his anguish. All decided to get inside while Oak complained that no one is giving him care after kong comes at the sight.

All girls shrugged their shoulders before hanging on to kong's arms dragging him forward. Aim sulked but didn't stop anyone since he know Kongpop needed this attention to be not distracted by his senior memory.

The event guard opened the door for them after seeing the invitation code on their phone. The gang didn't hesitate to jump inside the big gear frame which is placed by the entrance to take a picture.

The event people who were standing there helped them to click a picture. They did so many poses with content smiles, the couples started to take alone, Aim have May on his back while Tew have his wife on his arms and Prae with her girlfriend in a lip lick pose with her right foot in the air.

The remaining friends chuckled before helping the couple click a picture. Kong brain fleets a memory for him to miss someone more than already,

Ding Dong Dong...

"Coming!!!" Kongpop yelled in irritation after his doorbell rang for the nth time.

Kong opened the door rubbing his eyes to get rid of his sleep while on the other side  Krist who was sparkling in his blue attire stunned in his place enchanted by his interested person pose.

He quickly took his phone and saved a picture before stepping inside the house. "Why are you still sleeping? Did you forget about P'Sam's baby shower ceremony?" Krist asked pouring himself water to calm his inside which is itching him to gather his crush to a corner before ravishing him.

"Why did you take a picture of me?" Kongpop asked adjusting his sleeveless top and lower boxer. "Your hot sight is a sin to ignore baby!"

"Damn Krist! Delete that dirtiness before I do it by myself!"

"Why should I? I will frame it on my wall and look into this adorable whenever I yearn for your presence, and I will use this hot pose to masturbate."

"What?! You freaking dirty man!" Kongpop screamed before chasing the man to get the phone, while Krist laughed happily moving around the room with a remark, "don't get mad at me baby, after all, because of you only I am getting hard!"

*****

He came out of his memory with his lips curved wide, he moved to the next stall setup and checked the key chain where a small college jacket with their name engraved on it hanging on the pin board.

His hands caressed his year before taking his one, he admired the work, it was not tiny but small and so cute, he checked his friends too, they also joined and took their chain and giggled in happiness.

Kong's eyes moved two row back and looked for someone's else, he took his senior one and caressed the name on the red shirt key chain.

"Do you miss him?" Aim whisper asked to Kongpop ears. The said latter stared at the key chain with a longing look, of course, he miss seeing Arthit in a hazer look which always raise his coolness.

"I.... miss Zeke a lot, seeing him in the video was never satisfying," Kongpop let out to his friend with his eyes goes welled up, Aim patted the latter shoulders sympathetically.

They all turned to the sound at the entrance to see a group of young people enter, Kongpop's gang exchanged greetings and learned they are last year's pass-out hazer team from their college.

Soon people start to arrive, and of course, Arthit gang also reached, Kongpop eyes caught his admiration face, but he quickly turned around not wanting to face the inexorable.

He is glad that his friends also give a blind eye to Arthit gang for his sake. They even make him busy since the moment Arthit arrived.

His gang find a corner round table and settled, they watched the other gangs getting inside and greet one another while talking with themselves.

"So Kongpop, you have anyone in your life or still single?" Ook asked grabbing his gang's attention solely on their friend.

"I... am single," kong said shaking his head internally when Krist's face popped up.

"Still?" Prae mocked while others shows their disbelief look.

Kong just shrugged his shoulders with a serious look.

"Not even a fling?"

"Maybe just lust?"

His friends start to bug him, and he turned aside with a sigh, his eyes almost caught Arthit but he kept low. He fixed his eyes on the floor, he is scared of seeing Arthit which may pop up the emotions he caged behind his mind.

If that happened it's a nightmare for him, since it will prove he is loving two people which will make him loathe himself.

"Kongpop!!" Tew's yell snapped him to reality. He turned to his friend who were all having a sly smile.

"What?" He questioned but before Tew answered,  he saw Aim close  Tew's mouth with his palm and begged all his friends with his look.

He scowls and glared at Aim with a demanding look.

"Did you lie? Is that why you want us to not ask kong about his new boyfriend?" Tew questioned Aim.

"New boyfriend?" Kong questioned with a muddled look.

"Yes, the one you are hiding!" Tew teased joined by Prae, "Yes, Aim told us everything earlier while you were busy daydreaming about your lover, so stop acting naive!"

"Folks, what are you all blabbering? Aim, did you by chance lie to them just to save my face?" Kongpop asked in irritation.

Aim gulped the lump and give his sheepish smile to kong who goes more annoyed by his friend's silence.

"So, this Krist? is he hot like our P'Arthit?" Maparang asked with a playful smile. They all avoided their fav senior just to not hurt their friend who got heartbroken by him.

However, now that they found out their friend is already in love with someone, they started to tease him boldly.

Kongpop's blood drained, and his eyes found Aim with a shocking eye. "H-How.... you know him?"

Aim cursed himself for trusting his friends with Kongpop things, now he is doomed, he has to drag time otherwise his surprise will be wasted.

"I... am asking you Aim!!!" Kongpop greeted his teeth, fuming in anger.

"I answered Krist's call few days back! I am sorry-..."

"What did you two talk?" Kongpop asked with trembling lips, he is getting scared seeing his friend's guilty look.

"Nothing.... he just.... said he is your boyfriend!"

"Stop lying!!! He will never say things  to others without my consent!!!!" Kongpop scolded coldly although his heart was shaken by every passing second by his friend's remorseful look.

"I... I...."

"Where is my phone Aim?" Kongpop asked after realising his mobile is missing while he try to check it for the call history.

Aim's eyes went comically wide while he try to pondered an idea to escape from the situation. Kongpop feels the wrongness of his friend so he stood in his place, and threatened his friend that he will leave the party if he didn't confess what was exchanged between him and Krist.

Kongpop wants to punch his friend after hearing the truth, but instead, he calmly demands the latter to return his phone.

However, Aim hugged it to his chest with a shake of his head. Their friends all watched the tense drama with a clueless faces.

Kongpop didn't fight, he leaves the table abruptly and rushed out. Aim stopped him in the middle but he shoved the latter away and walks off.

Aim has no choice apart from pulling his white card. Running to his senior he begged the latter to stop Kongpop from leaving the hall.

"Did he wants to leave because of me?" Arthit asked keeping his eyes on Kongpop who was stopped by one of the seniors and was having a conversation.

Aim knows lying to his senior is wrong and his senior gang will easily caught him, he pondered on what to say but Arthit who sees the hesitation in his junior thought maybe it was because of him and his junior is silent to not say the obvious.

He ran to his favourite junior side before the latter slipped away. Kongpop halted in his place for not to bump into Arthit when the latter show up before him with an irregular breathing.

He unconsciously clenched his fist with an overwhelming emotion. The feelings he is frightened  floods his mind, and all the memories he buried deep inside after months of struggle hit his brain cells.

His crush, which turns later into his one-sided love and how it becomes broken at the end, everything passes through his knowledge. What made him feel petrified is how particular emotions is overpowering everything, which is none other than finding out what Aim talked with Krist and what they had in sleeves for him.

"Kongpop...... how are you?" Arthit asked after composing himself from the guilt emotions which make him throb at his heart.

"...."

"Kongpop?" Arthit slowly stepped forward which make Kongpop look deep into Arthit.

It hurts, but not in the same way anymore, the pain is bearable, and no wave of tears. This proves that Krist indeed entered into his heart.

"I.... am fine P'Arthit," Kongpop said and diverted his eyes.

"Kong-..."

"Sorry phi but I have to go," Kongpop states and moved his feet towards the exit but Arthit stopped him from coming in front of him again.

"Shall we talk?" Arthit asked with a pleading look which always wins over kong's heart, so the latter found himself nodding his head and following his senior like an obedient puppy to the restroom.

Arthit locked themselves inside the restroom from getting disturbed. The silence extends for a few minutes before kong broke.

"How are you Phi? How is Zeke?"

"I am fine kong, Zeke too," Arthit answered and saw the surprised look on his junior face for calling him by his pet name.

"I am sorry Kongpop" Arthit apologised with his head low.

"Phi, Shall we not talk about our past?" Kongpop sighed, he was already in a strangled mess he doesn't want to add anything to it.

"I am sorry... it's just... I feel I didn't apologise to you enough... you suffered a lo-...."

Kongpop stepped close to Arthit's private space making the latter stop his words and lift his head with a gasp.

"Shall I hug you phi?"

"Hmm.." Arthit hummed weakly but when Kongpop enveloped him, he hugged back tight.

"It's okay phi, I am fine, this was happening in many people's life, you didn't do anything new or terrible to me for you to live your days remorseful. What's important is you tried to love me back, I will cherish our memories and your sincerity Phi, so please stop feeling sorry towards me, it is making me feel worse," Kongpop said in the hug feeling the senior suffering with guilt.

"If you are fine... then why did you ran away?! From your family, friends and relatives... I made you abandon your loved ones, don't I? Although you treated me like a prince I couldn't able to love the way you want I am so sorr-......"

"Phi, did you miss me?" Kongpop asked breaking the hug. Both stood facing the wall, with their back leaning against the sink counter.

"I am" Arthit confesses the truth.

"That is enough for me Phi," kongpop smiles feeling light.

"I didn't ran away phi, my parents forced me to take a break, they thought I will march to you and ask you to be my lover again... Aim also thought I might go malnourished from the way I am skipping foods, I had no choice..." Kongpop spoke with a thin smile on his lips.

"I might had able to pull off myself by time if they leave me here but they insisted for me to go out of town, I -..."

"It's all because of me, if only I was not being a jerk You might be enjoying your life with me and achieved high in your dad's business too, isn't it? I never feel tranquil when it comes to you Kongpop, my emotions are different when it comes to you, yet I couldn't address it as a love like I wish," Arthit's self-loath is seen in his face for being helpless.

"P'Arthit, I am not regretting anything, I was elated by this change, this distant....  thought me so many things I needed to survive in this world, I met a person who brought me the attitude I buried deep inside, he even makes me angry so often, I learned the tactics of living with my heart broken with him, he even makes-...,"

"Do you love him?" Arthit questioned after noticing the fond smile adored on Kongpop lips while talking about that person.

Kongpop was stunned, and turned his gaze to Arthit's one which he loved most, he still feels the submitting aura by the gaze, but not the enormous one he used to feel once.

"It's complicated phi," Kongpop answered with a bitter smile.

"Why? Is he a committed one?" Arthit teased to bring a fond smile back on kong's face.

"What do you think of me? I am not a cheater phi!" Kongpop sulked with his lips curved side.

"What else could be then?"

"Maybe he too doesn't love me back?"

"No! I don't think you will willingly step into the same thorny pit once again," Arthit teased again for kong to shrug it with a remark, "What say phi? I am still the naive one when it comes to love."

Arthit gave his disbelief look towards kong who blinked his eyes innocently. The pregnant silence once again extends before Arthit spoke, "Kongpop, you are fine right?"

Arthit's face was hopeful and hurt, which makes Kongpop take the latter hand in his hold.

"Why are you asking it again Phi? Can't you see I am alright from the way I am making jokes with you?"

"I know you were in contact with mom and frequently have an update about Zeke, but never once did you call me..."

"P'Arthit, I went away to forget you not to get tormented by your sweet voice... ouch!! Phi!" Kongpop whined when Arthit kicked his leg.

Kongpop pouted leaving Arthit's hands and crossing his arms. "Stop changing the topic! If you are fine then why do you want to leave the party?" Arthit asked in an accusing voice.

"It's..... it's... just something came up in office phi," Kongpop stuttered nervously.

"Stop lying... If I make you uneasy with my presence I will leave, so stay with your friends and seniors, it's been a long, so en-.."

"No no phi, please trust me, it regards my business... I swear it's not because of you, if so I might have walk out of the party the moment you stepped into the hall, not after long minutes phi!" Kong reasoned out to Arthit who sees the honesty with a pleading look from the latter.

Arthit sighed and nodded his head, both leaves the bathroom and walked toward the crowd.

Instead of walking to the exit, he walks back to his friends followed by Arthit, to bid them his proper apology before shooing away from the party.

He swiftly rooted in his track, he feels his throat block the breath, his sweaty palm clutched his pant fabric while his heart pumped high.

His mind wished to the god to make it a dream, the shiny dark eyes fixed straight with his shaking brown one is too much to keep it fixed. The person's dimpled smile vanished, and the lips parted with a jaw drop.

He chanted a prayer in his mind for everyone around them to fade into a speck of dust or turn the time back, but nothing happened, he accepted his inexorable fate when Arthit's voice reached his ears.

"H-he.... he... who is he?" Arthit's eyes were comically wide after seeing a person who have most of his features with slight changes.

The said person's round eyes get back to the brown one for answers. Kongpop averted his eyes from the demanding dark ones.

He turned to Arthit and said something which was unheard by his friends and Krist who watch the interaction between a senior and junior keenly with a muddled look.

Arthit nodded his head with an understanding expression before walking past his juniors and the stranger who looked like him.

Kongpop stepped to his table and decided to take Krist out but unfortunately one of the head hazer who organised the party took the control and asked people to sit.

Kongpop friends nudged him to sit while Krist already sat at a chair with his eyes on Arthit.

Kongpop changed his place with Prae and sat far away from Krist who follows him a moment late.

"Do you think Kongpop made a clone?" Bright whisper asked his gang.

"Really?" Tutah peeped curiously changing his attention from the stage to his friend.

"Why not? He has money and obsession" Bright stated nonchalantly which riled Arthit.

"Knott can you fill me up, I will be back after handling a murder," Arthit commands Knott keeping his eyes on Bright who gulped and held Prem's arms for help.

"Don't whine, you deserved it, how could you back talk about our junior even after knowing how wise he is," Prem point out, joined by knott

"He never loved Arthit for his look but for his heart you fool!"Knott argued while Bright apologized to his friend and everyone turned to the stage when a person greeted before introducing himself.

The lights go dim while the hazer who stands in the stage started giving a speech about hazing and the bond between the hazers.

Kongpop couldn't listen, his mind was busy relaxing his heart which is beating out of rhythm by the Person who is holding his hand under the table.

The speech was going on, kong wasn't listening, and his eyes were on his lap where Krist's fingers is playing with his hand.

"Hi" Krist whispered keeping his eyes straight. Before Kongpop speaks Krist cut him off.

"Don't ask me what I am doing here since the answer is obvious! I came for you, for your answers!" Krist said ignoring kong's one of the friends try to eaves drop.

"I won't ask you if I ever make you uncomfortable since i did, in so many occasions by showing my desperation over your attention. But I want to ask you, did I ever make you believe what I have for you is just a fling? Or an attraction? I thought I was so clear on my part of courting, I trusted I have shown you how much I wanted to spend my every day with you being by my side, I even proved we can fit despite our flaws and unmatched likes, then what went wrong Kongpop? Please answer me!"

"I don't need your sorry, so answer me properly! I want details on what way I am not worth for even a try?"

Kongpop body tighten in sorrow, Krist was always clear with his intention and did steals his heart and attention all the time, it was him who acted blind not the other way around so he feels guilt.

"Am I that worth for you to chase me, Krist? You have so many choices you-.."

"Yet, my fucking heart pushes me to chase you, and willing to change itself for you, so please don't test my patience anymore and regret it!"

Kongpop turned to the side profile, he saw the tightening jaw before hearing a low growl, the grip with his hand went hard.

"I loved P'Arthit... so much... that I was willing to die, although I was drunk, my conscious mind suggested me death to free from the pain rather than look for a ways to mend my heart in so many ways.

I tasted how it will be with P'Arthit so I couldn't able to bear the throb, I don't want my heart to be broken again, I don't want to fall into the deeper perilous maze in the name of love!" Kong said staring at Krist from time to time.

Krist didn't pat an eye on Kongpop, he kept his eyes fixed on the person who is standing on the stage giving the speech.

"Why do you think I will leave your heart broken? I won't do it even unintentionally!" Krist argued.

"You won't say that after knowing things!" Kongpop retorted back going uneasy by the eyes on him from his senior table and his close friends. He knew his friends are trying to eavesdrop on their conversation to have enlightenment regards his love life but he doesn't want that to happen since he hates the sympathy which he always receives from his friends for his failure in his love zone.

"Krist, I think we should continue this after-..."

"No! Like I said I am done waiting! I am hanging on my last thread so for god sake just give me your answer! If it is 'No' then give me a valid reason!" Krist commands, not whispering anymore but his eyes fixed on the stage.

Kongpop stares at the side profile for a longer time, his mind flashing all the happy moments he has had with Krist. With a fond smile and genuine look he confessed.

"I.... like you" Kongpop's words locked Krist in a happy bubble. He snapped his head with a dimpled smile and shiny eyes. He mouthed a flying kiss before whispering, "I knew it! You played hard... and gave me real tough time Kongpop, I was-.."

"Krist... there is something you have to know, the reason for my rejection... the reason for me to run away from you,"

"I don't need that anymore.." Krist states with a shrug. His stomach fluttered nonstoppingly after hearing Kongpop's confession. He was so dreadful in the corner of his heart that he has mistaken Kongpop's's emotions, but hearing the latter confession he feel trounced that indeed Kongpop likes him in a partner way.

"You should, since it's the reason I said you will leave me eventually," Kongpop said and gained Krist's attention.

"Why are you so sure that I will leave you.." Krist asked his eyes still not ready to gaze at Kongpop whose eyes fixed on Krist's side profile for the past few minutes.

"Cause.... cause..... cause.."

"Are you hiding something Kongpop?" Krist asked for the said latter to brace himself to reveal the information.

"The one who you saw earlier is....... my Ex," Kongpop said for Krist to snap and stare at him with round confused eyes.

"But he said his name is Aim?"

Kongpop sighed, "Krist, the one who looks like you is my ex, he is P'Arthit!"

Krist's gaze met kong's one in the dim light to check the playfulness but nothing, so he blinked curiously before looking around the tables to found the  said Ex, Arthit and he spotted him.

Both Krist and Arthit's eyes met straight, he watched more keenly, "As much as I want to tackle the mystery of us having almost the same feature, I have pressuring matter with you so let me deal with you first!" Saying this Krist turned back his gaze to Kongpop who batted his eyes confusingly.

"I can see, he is beautiful and worth your mourn but he doesn't stand a Chance with me doesn't he?" Krist asked hopefully showing his charming smile.

"Is that what concerns you?" Kongpop asked going petrified over the situation.

"What else is there besides this?" Krist asked truly going muffled with Kongpop question.

"Don't you have doubts?"

"Huh?"

"I mean.... my feelings.... it might be cause you look like him or .... you may think I am using you as a rebound?" Kong asked in a low voice.

"Kongpop suthilack, do you like me?" Krist asked making kong's chin straight, he keenly studied the latter reaction.

"W-what... I already told you.." kong diverted his eyes since Krist's voice was no more whispering his other friends are enjoying his drama which makes him shy.

Kongpop is not a shy person to start and he won't mind confessing his love to his partner anytime, but this is his first time being with Krist who has indefinite handsomeness and tease, so he feels bashful.

Krist cares less, he turned kong's face to his one with his finger on the latter chin. "Kongpop do you like me?"

The intensity was too much so Kongpop quickly answered and hang his head low and growled low when his friends released a chorus of woos attracting the people from their next table.

"Then I have no problem Kongpop, I trust you..." Krist states genuinely.

"Really?" Kongpop's heart went dumbfounded while his all hesitation and insecurity bust out to dust. Is this not a matter for Krist? Then did he get fooled by his over dramatic mind?

"Kongpop,  do you think I would throw you away after realising your ex looks like me?"

Kongpop nodded his head keeping his eyes further low, that was the most important reason he ran away, he was so sure that Krist will leave him after knowing about Arthit's appearance matching with him.

"I am not you," Krist voiced out for kong to lift his face and stared at Krist.

"You should not allow your mind wheels to spin when it comes to love my cheesy cow," Kongpop glared at Krist with red ears, not for the advice but for the endearment which earned another woos session from his friends.

"You should have communicated with me Kongpop, rather than imagine being in my shoes, we both are different, so for me, I don't overthink, I believe what I see and feel, and I can see the sincerity in your look and words, I felt your care in the past too, so I don't find a reason to hang on with some unreasonable emotions."

"Are you saying you have no say over P'Arthit resemble and trust my feelings? Won't you..... leave me for any girls?" Kongpop's last phrase was barely audible, he fiddled with his sleeves with a timid look.

Krist didn't answered him, just gazed at him straight, his lips curved into a content smile while his look oozes trustworthy. Kongpop friends openly turned to Krist after hearing their friend's dreadful voice.

Tew wants to curse his friends for being ridiculous and unreasonable. If he likes a person he should give it a try to check if it will works or not, this way he can offer a time for the other person to know him too, how would a person answer this question?

On the other hand, Aim knows why Kongpop makes it complicated to date Krist, he loves the latter, and he has already fallen in love with him so he is scared he will once again dream of a future which might not come true. He feels pity for him, so he is hopeful and waits for Krist to convince his friend to agreed a relationship.

"I love you Kongpop.... whole heartily, I have no ways to assure you that I won't leave you for anyone until you give me a chance, you do know right, how much I was holding myself during the courting stage to not make you pressured, maybe that's why you are insecure, let's walk together Kongpop, I am sure we both will found ourselves how much we are meant to be each other's," Krist let out with a dimpled grin.

Kongpop melted, completely melted in the warmth of Krist and feels empty. He finally smiled, accepting he should not hang on to his heartbroken hopeless theories and stop feeding his insecurities.

"Uhmm.... sorry to interrupt your romance... Kongpop your turn to be on the stage is nearer!"  Prae's girlfriend announced with an apologetic smile.

"Hey, baby! Why did you do that?" Prae slapped her lover's arms for disturbing them.

"Hey!!! Be glad at least I keep eyes and ears on stage, it's going to be Kongpop's turn soon, so he should get ready with his speech!" She declared for the others to enquiry curiously for the details.

Krist took kong's hand under the table again and winked at the latter when he glared to leave it.

The whole attention went to the stage when Arthit's name was chanted. There! Arthit reaches the stage while trying to stop his knowing senior and junior from yelling his name.

Kongpop juniors also joined, who will not, Arthit is not only famous for his hazing but also for his helping tendency.

Arthit started giving his speech about his hazing and his time during his college days.

Kongpop glanced at Krist for any discomfort but none, he cursed himself for being a fool and think Krist will mind about the similarities with Arthit.

They both are different, but kong thought Krist will think he is loving him just because he looks like P'Arthit, However,  how silly he was, he feels wrong in understanding Krist's emotions.

Even when Arthit points out his name as his favourite and points out his attitude as the most annoying and troubled one ever, Krist didn't get bothered and didn't mind the curious eyes on him from many people in the hall for how he and Arthit looked like.

Krist chuckled with a knowing look at him for the teasing before concentrating on the Arthit's speech while laughing at the jokes.

The latter is not at all bothered, his eyes and heart were solely on Kongpop not the matters around him.

He tighten his grip on Krist's hand, and the dimpled smile latter turned and give him his homely look.

When it comes to Kongpop's turn the latter reluctantly leaves krist hand and walks to the centre before sharing his hazing experience recalling all the bad and good times.

Krist got mesmerized at the sight with his awestruck expression, his lover was all a person needed, his expression speaks thousands while his body moves appealingly, he is not saying because of his predilection towards kongpop, that man seriously has the attitude and features to rule the best.

When kongpop came back to his place, krist took his hand in his hand before playing with his long and soft fingers. The time start to pass, and all hazers already finished their speech and got ready for the feast and drinks.

Many people start to approach Krist or Arthit to enquiry about their relationship between each other. Gladly Aim shooed them away while the people approach Arthit was shooed away by their wise senior Knott and scary senior Prem.

Kongpop filled his plate and Krist's like he used to do during his stay with the latter as a habit and realized it after his friends coughed teasingly.

He ignored them and gave the plate to the latter. Krist's face went like a crushed tissue after seeing the vegetables decoring his plate.

In earlier days he accepted and endure all vegetables just to not sit on kongpop bad side now that the latter confirmed liking him he decided to not digest the yucky taste.

"So? Will you go out with me?" Krist asked pushing all veggies to the corner.

Kongpop shyly nodded his head with his eyes on a plate but coughed when their friends mocked them.

"Just be boyfriends rather than playing child!"

Krist wanted that, he is ready to even propose by the next minute but he doesn't want to scare the latter.

Kongpop see the expectant look of krist when their friends mock ringed around them, he waited for the latter to ask the awaited question but nothing came, he glanced and see krist focusing on the surroundings.

He wondered why he expected Krist to make a move while he has the most expressive attitude with his loved ones, he has enough of wallowing over his timidity. Bracing himself he pushed his shyness away and boldly confessed.

"We are boyfriends"

Krist's eyes enlarged he snapped to kong's side and went astonished more to see the love and sincerity. The statement earned a woos from everyone while Krist used this chance and shoved himself into kong's space in happiness before giving a long smooch on the latter cheeks after turning his face side to get a better view of his chubby cheeks.

The kiss earned more woos which gathered all people's attention. Everyone shouted a congratulatory message while Kongpop buried his face behind Krist's shoulders.

It was the end, all people started to leave while krist waited in his seat watching and interacting with his juniors with an amiable smile.

When Kongpop approached with honeyed expression Krist went igneous and blissed, that this gorgeous man he loved agreed to spend a life in his arms.

He can't help but thank the latter, "At first I didn't fathom the fact that I am getting attracted towards you in a non-friendly way. I wanted it to be platonic and I tried in all possible ways, but, at the end, I debacle badly, then I decided to caress the feelings and kept you in my heart, now you are also my family, so thank you...,"

"Thank you for showing up in my car that night Kongpop, I feel my awaiting life is not going to be boring and lonely anymore," Krist's gratefulness was so pure and loving that Kongpop's heart shattered his wall surrounds it to pieces to welcome the latter. Maybe there is love.... for him.

His eyes went glassy, Krist was a boisterous man, he doesn't deserve his tyranny, yet the latter accepted and bears his attitude and hung on to his love, he feels bad for breaking him away with his unsure agnostic behaviour.

He gave a quick hug before pulling away and voicing out his gratefulness too. "Sorry for hurting you. Thanks for giving me a ride that night and chasing me this far krist, you always make me delightful so I promise I will also make you happy."

Krist stepped close leaning to kong's ears before whispering in low voice with his hot breath hitting the latter earlobe, "And I have one more special ride which will chase you to your cloud nine baby, what say? Shall we try tonight?"

Kongpop cells electrified in a desire with a sensual thought by the husky voice and words. He jerked the latter away before turning and running.

"So kong yes or no? I assure you I will make the ride world's best on- ndchgchdh" Kongpop quickly rushed back and closed Krist's mouth but who is he kidding, his friends don't need a can of oil to ignite the fire. He hissed at Krist to shut his mouth while kicking his best friend in his ankle for ridiculing  him  before spiriting to the car parking area.

Aim throws the key to Kong, "I am joining May." Kongpop gave his blind eyes and deaf ears to his friend's tease and tossed the water bottle from the car towards Prae when that girl suggested a condom flavour.

Kongpop drives out of the slot and asked Krist to type his hotel address in the GPS. During the drive, Kong indulged in Krist who was giving him updates about his business and a few random stuffs in between his cheesy lines that he didn't notice where he is heading.

Kongpop scowls with a confused look when his car enters at his street, he checked his GPS for any mistake, "Krist, it's not your stop, I think I went wrong, let me...

"No! It's the address, I am staying in your home!" Kongpop paled with a storm at his heart for the upcoming battle.

"Tell me you are kidding!" Kongpop demanded while Krist winked at him, "I braced myself for the worst baby!" Krist said for Kongpop's eyes to go like saucer.

He gulped when Krist stepped towards the gate like he own the house and the people waiting inside are his own's parents.

Parents, how will he face them? Didn't they send him to mend his broken heart?  They might be waiting for him to come forgetting his sorrow and care them and help them in business. However, he returned with a new man, a new love, once again with an intense emotion.

He is scared to see their reaction, what if they judge his choice? what if they demand him to leave Krist? Will he hurt them if he choose to stay with Krist? Or will Krist understand and give him a time to convince his parents?

His monologue broke when his mother addressed him from far. "Kongpop what are you doing out? Your dad and Krist are waiting for you!"

Kong stunned in his place, when did Krist entered inside his place? And why did his mother seems calm? With thousands questions in mind he parked his car by the gate and marched inside.

He waited for his loved ones to notice him while he studied their activities, his dad was explaining something to Krist who is listening the words keenly.

His mother came from the kitchen area with 3 hot cocoa and one plain milk, she cleared her throat to get attention of the two men.

Kongpop jolted and turned around fast almost hitting the plate if not for his mother moved it aside. She chuckled at her son's guilty and apologetic look. She gestured him to join her before leading the way.

Kongpop took his seat by his mother side before receiving the hot cocoa with a nervous smile. She handed the plain milk to her husband and offered Krist hot cocoa before taking one for herself.

"Thanks mom!" Krist beamed.

Kong choked on the hot drink and received a teasing laugh from his mother instead of calming himself with a pat on his head which he used to get from her.

Krist rushed to his boyfriend side, he rubbed his back with one hand and another one give a caress on his thighs.

Kong trembled by Krist action in front of his parents. Kongpop politely moved Krist hands and faced his parents before lowering his eyes with an overwhelming dread.

"Dad.... Mom.... this is Krist.... He is the one who took care of me during my stay in chiang Mai by giving me work and roof. He thought me a lot and help me... big to forgot my pain..... and he is my.... boyfriend," kong voice went very low at the end.

The silence started rubbing salt on his fear. He slowly lifted his head towards his parents with tearful eyes. His father quickly walks to him while his mother smiled teasingly.

His father made him hug his waist which Kongpop did more volunteeringly, he buried himself in his father's warmth with his arms tighten around the latter hips.

"When this man entered our perimeter your mother was ready to toss a bomb on his face, your mother thought he is playing trick when he introduced himself as his Krist tagging a friendship with you,"

Kongpop watery eyes opened and stared Krist while rubbing his cheeks on his father stomach.

"I reasoned your mother that Arthit will never tricks people, and persuade her to hear the stranger side. Then we welcomed him inside, he said he came for you, since you ran away from him after he ask you to love him."

Kong blinked his eyes from the piercing dark eyes staring him.

"He told us, you ran away because you don't want to hurt and disappoint us,"

Kongpop feels so loved, although whatever his father said is one of his reason but it's not what made him ran away, which was sure known by Krist, yet the latter sweet talked with his parents for him. Krist winked at him for kong to blush and turned his head to other side to come face to face with his mother.

She wipes his tears before stroking his hair, his head was still buried in his father's stomach. He is reluctant to leave it in the scare of everything became surreal.

He is having another man apart from Arthit as his boyfriend and introducing him to his parents who are accepting him without a ounce of protest. Everything seems like a beautiful dream.

"When he ended we understand he doesn't have any idea about his similarities with Arthit, so we guessed your situation and we thought to keep it for you to reveal it so we just welcomed him and gave our blessings to be with you if only you assent to it, and from the way I am seeing you were so invested in him," Kong's father ended with a chuckled joined by his mother too.

"Thank you," kong uttered allowing his mother's to wipe his flowing tears. "Be happy my son, just... don't shut us if anything, we are here for you," kong's mother states with a content look. Her son nodded her head and the family spend some good time by talking about their time in chiang Mai.

When Krist was about to go to the guest room which he got allocated earlier, he got stopped by Kong's mother. "Krist, Why don't you move your luggage to kong's room and stay with him, in case any objecti-..."

"No mom! I am so glad with your suggestion!" Krist beamed with a squeal while kong blushed in embarrassment.

He dragged the latter away from his mother before he gives any inappropriate idea to her. Krist followed kong eagerly with his luggage on his hand.

Krist feels kong taking slow steps towards the latter room, he didn't say anything just followed his boyfriend with a smirk while his mind plotting hundred position to take his man to the pleasuring cloud.

So the moment they reached the door, Krist pushed him inside before locking the door and abandoning his luggage at the door step.

The action may seems so rough but Krist slowly claimed Kong upper lips before started nibbling on it. His boyfriend came out of his astonishment and kissed him back.

His hands wrapped around Krist waist and pulled the latter close to him. The kiss slowly improved from soft to hard, they both didn't fight, Krist submitted himself for Kong to explore by opening his mouth.

Kong's tongue swirl slowly teasing Krist, taking his time to taste the cavern which taste melon which he gulped in the party earlier.

The melon taste, with fresh skin was delicious for kong to stop any time soon, but he knows he should allow other to explore him so he parted his lips taking back his tongue.

Krist pulled away little before jumping so excitedly, one hand gripping the latter neck while other hand planted on the hips in a hard grip.

Kong gasped when Krist straightly hit his throat with his silky tongue, he arched his back which was get back into its position by Krist hand on his hips.

Krist mind blows in happiness, today his months of hunting dream going to be real, so he poured all his needs, tasting through sucking the wet skin, not minding the opposite party whine and breathlessness.

Last time when he kissed kong, he tasted exactly like a forbidden fruit, since he know in the back of his mind that kong is not in his right mind.

But this time, it was excellent and sinful, both are conscious, the kiss electrified his cells in desire, he knows kong is also feeling it through the loud heart beat.

He reluctantly pulled away and trailed to his jaw before cupping it with his one hand and give a hard bite, kong grunted with his right foot going behind in the wall.

His hands moved to the latter pant for Kongpop to stop it with his hand, "is not i-it fast?" Kongpop asked with a raged breath which going more irregular with Krist every ministration on his Jaw.

"Oh honey! We are already tardy as snail!" Krist reasoned out before sucking the latter neck making the other party skin goes red and shake.

"But.... but..."

"I might agree that we are adolescence when it comes to love but this.... not in a way!!!" Krist said moving his hand to kong locks before playing it with his fingers.

Kongpop too agreed, he feel himself becoming an teenager and shy with fluttering butterflies and overwhelming joy every time he hear Krist express his love.

"Then..... then...." Kongpop hesitated with his tongue peaking out and wetting his upper lips.

"How could you expect me to keep my shaft inside when you move alluringly?" Krist questioned moving his thumb towards kong's upper lips and pressing his tongue back inside followed by his finger.

"This invitation is beyond temptation for my resistance, so my Kongpop, will you lead us to bed or shall I do the pleasure?" Krist asked impatiently while unbuckling his own belt.

Here goes! Kongpop tying his sanity in a rope and throw it to the corner of his mind and decided to dive in to the erratic  pool.

He always like to take the lead, but this time for an opulence reason he couldn't, his heart is shying away. So he nodded his head while putting his fingers on Krist dimple before giving his consent, "Yo-...You do... next tim-... ahhhh.."

Krist shut him off by lifting him in one move and reached the bed in no time. Kongpop gasped and stopped Krist with dumbfounded expression.

"Why.... pant? don't you want to remove my shirt first?"

"Let me lock my junior in your cave to calm my prodigious sensual urge then I will feast you to my wolf hunger!" Krist winked with a flying kiss before discard kong bottom.

Kong heart raced, he is little scared of Krist reaction, without foreplay they are directly going into intercourse, his heart about to burst in shyness! wait!!! He didn't cleaned himself.

"Krist wait!!"

"What???" Krist went irritated!

"We need to clean ourselves!"

"What the fuck kong!"

Kongpop pouted towards Krist with his innocent fiddle of fingers on the latter arms. Krist shivered at the gesture before nodding his head.

"10 mins!!" Kongpop ran to the bathroom to quickly start cleaning while Krist sneaked to the guest room to do his own preparation.

Krist hard on stands straight at the site of kong in his shirt only with wet body and shampoo scent. He signaled him to join him on the bed with his finger.

Kongpop avoided Krist eyes, he is afraid of Krist  reaction towards his skin. For him he doesn't find any man dirty but for Krist who only being with girls may feel grimy to see the same features and tanned rough skin.

Understanding his partner mind Krist smiled and pulled his lover for a feverish kiss while his one hand roamed all over his skin, and other hand reached the back hole before parting his legs wide.

His first finger entered, kong arched fast with the cooling sensation of the lube. He closed his eyes but Krist pecked his eyes before moving his mouth all over his torso, with plethora of compliments.

"You have soft skin which I can die for baby!"
.....

"I never knew your skin would taste this divine kong!"
.....

"Oh god! Your moans stirring my needs in a beastly way honey! Scream!"

.....

Kong all insecurity over his appearance dissipated. He doesn't feel indecorous  in any way for Krist, he opened his eyes and made eye contact with Krist who shined with his dimple smile.

He returned the smile and hissed high when his back penetrated with huge shaft. He knew this is imminent, Krist burying inside him, but he doesn't guessed it can be this deep and enigmatic.

His couldn't grasp his surroundings, only the sound of wrens surrounds his head which he knows is surreal. With every thrust he got pleased, not to mention about Krist satisfied grunts and possessive marking on his skin he feels the pure bliss which he had ever imagined.

The night was long for them, Krist didn't mind making Kongpop moan in demands while the latter didn't mind to scream in his high voice with his begging. Every barrier and insecurities between them burned away with each thrust while they shared their love with words and compliments.

"Are you fine? Or shall I apply more?" Krist asked with a concerned face, while Kongpop went lobster turning around and sitting in the bed before covering his naked body with a blanket.

"You didn't hold up even once! I can see now how much attractive I am to you!" Kongpop said with the blushed face and accusing expression.

"Oh baby! You have no idea!!! You have your paws on me, the moment you kissed me on that strange night!" Krist chuckled before sitting next to kong and make them both lay on the bed.

"Krist..." kong whispered after a moment of silence.

"Do you think this will work?"

"Do you still being agnostic even after our magical night?" Krist asked punching kong arms which was caressing earlier.

"Ouch!! Sorry.... but we have responsibilities... I can't leave and stay there for long, like wise you can't also leave your sisters and work for me," Kongpop uttered, cursing their fate internally.

He feels bad to discuss about this after their beautiful night, but he has to be if he doesn't want their love to hurt them.

"I already talked with my sister, I will move my office here next year and will visit the business only if my presence is necessary, my sister agreed to handle everythin-.."

"Don't go hard on her, maybe we can go for other ways, give me 2 years I will fix my business and join you," Kongpop suggested since he feel Krist already suffered enough for his love and attention so he doesn't want the latter to sacrifice anything anymore for him.

"Kong, I thought for long before deciding this, I can operate from remote but you can't, so please don't refuse me, just trust me, I will make it the best I can!" Krist promised kong with a kiss on the latter wrist.

Kongpop started a passionate kiss while going top on Krist. "You are killing me with your love!"

"Isn't?"

Kongpop nodded his head, "then why don't you kill my lust with your ride honey?" Although Kongpop went deep red with shaking inside he did ride the latter until the early dawn radiant fall on their marked bodies.

2 years later::

"Don't you dare kit!!! I am already sore!!"

"But it's not even 2nd ride?"

"You bastard, you got 3 ride last night!!!"

"But honey it's you who tempted me with your naked bu-..."

"Stop stating that! I didn't know you were there!! I am calling your sister, I am sure she will willingly take you and kick your ass for me!" Kong yelled before sat on the couch with an exhausted body.

Yesterday was valentine so Kongpop agree to play bed role which was requested by Krist. He doesn't into that thing or you can say he is shy, but last night he did as a present and he is regretting it for big time.

God that man always forget the word slow and gentle when it comes to bed activities so last night was so ecstatic and dirty!! His skin still tingles at the pain of the hickeys, yet that man is not satisfied.

He was busy applying medicines to his wounded ass after waking at early not expecting for his boyfriend to return from the morning jogging, next moment he was riding his man with his sore back.

"Why don't you kick my ass with your gentle junior instead of going to my sister?" Krist licked kong ears from behind the sofa.

Kongpop squirmed with a moan. Using the chance Krist moved to his boyfriend side before claiming the small wet lips to devour to his consent.

They both got startled by the door bell! Kong sneered at his man before pushing to receive the guest.

Krist busied himself in kitchen leaving Kongpop alone with the guest to deal with the situation.

Kongpop fidgeted in his place in confusion, this past years, he had few conversation with Arthit that too happened whenever he went to see Zeke in school.

So wondering why the latter is here and how he found his address is mystery.

"Kongpop.... I heard you are coming home for Zeke birthday celebration!"

Kongpop got startled first but composed himself before reasoned out, "y-yes phi, aunt insisted I should... so... I thought to join"

"So you are not willing?" Arthit asked teasing the latter to ease the tension.

"No no phi! I wanted to join... so much!" Kongpop defended himself hurriedly.

Arthit chuckled easing Kongpop to the comfortable zone before dropping the bomb.

"I am getting engaged," Arthit announced earning Kongpop's whole attention.

The latter heart felt a pang but he didn't show it on his face but his mind betrayed him by raising a question.

"Did Zeke loves her?" Kongpop questioned instead of directly asking if Arthit loves her.

"No"

Kongpop gulped, that means...

His overthinking stopped when Arthit explained the situation.

"When I introduced Zeke mother, Jane, my parents didn't raise any objection, they trusted my decision and welcomed me, so I thought to reduce their stress by agreeing to their wish so it's an arranged one,"

"Neither me nor Zeke met her once, she lost her husband three days from the marriage, she is my mom's doctor daughter."

Arthit finished and waited for kong reaction when nothing comes he continued again, "I wanted to say to you and my gang,  you are the first one who aware of this,.. I am sorry I didn't mean to h-.."

"Congratulations P'Arthit!! I am happy for Zeke and you," Kongpop tossed his happy smile.

Both stared at each other and broke it when Krist show up with drinks. Seeing them wearing couple vest with hickeys adoring their skin, Arthit feels content that Kongpop got the happiness he always deserved.

After Arthit's departure Kongpop lay on the couch with his head on Krist lap and buried his face deeply on the latter abs.

"How you feeling?" Krist asked rubbing his lover arms to give his console.

"I don't know!" Kong uttered not sparing Krist any glance.

"Of course you are sad," Krist states the obvious.

Kong tilted his head and stared Krist who is smiling at him warmly with no hard feelings.

"Are you mad?" Kong asked in a low voice.

"Why should I honey? I accepted your everything, moreover, I know how special first love are! So if you want to cry do it kong, don't hold up your  anguish," Krist said and expected Kongpop to broke down a little but the latter went like a crushed tissue.

"What?" Krist raised his eyebrows with a questioning look.

"Do you still have feelings for your P'Mook? do you still have her contact? Give me your phone!" Kong questioned and sat at the couch before stretching his palm towards Krist who laughed loud and earned a slap on his thighs.

"My jealously daddy wolf!" Krist remarked before pecking kong lips.

Kong blushed remembering the time he wears wolf costume for Krist's last birthday.

He jerked in shock when he was lifted off from the couch, his boyfriend whispered in his ear before giving it a hard bite, "If daddy wolf let papa wolf have his way then you can have my phone"

"No!! Put me down you idi-... ahhhh..." Krist ignored Kong protest and started devouring his man to make their time euphoric like their life.
