Trigger warning.. read with discretion..there is twist in the tale..if anytime you feel uncomfortable please discontinue..now enjoy a twist to our dearest oon and Kong ..

🙏🙏🙏🙏

Kong enters the 20 th floor apartment using his own key, and immediately stops short! why is everything so dark..where is oon? He hurriedly goes inside , a fear gnawing in his stomach, he should not have left him alone, but he only went out for couple of hours with Em,his best friend .... he must be fine..there's no need to panic.

His palpating heart calms down, when he hears the sound of the drums, as he yanks open the soundproofed music room door, he
A relieved sigh escapes his lips.. oon has as usual forgotten to switch on the lights and has been so immersed in prcatice that has not even realized,it's almost past 530 pm , evening..

Kongpob steps back..he will let him have his musical time, in the meantime Kong will prepare dinner, he is hungry..

Kong's phone beeps as he puts the chicken to grill and stir the fried rice.

An incoming message..

" I am standing in front of your apartment building..are you coming down or should I come up."

" Oh shit" .
Kong facepalms. He can't leave the chicken on high grill and the rice is also almost done. He has totally forgotten about his University senior coming to give him the third year notes he needs for his paper, guess he just have to call him up.. he is his senior after all and a man like Tay, the past head hazer of engineering, doesn't like to be kept waiting for anything.....

" please come up phi.. 20th floor, penthouse apartment, ..sorry cooking can't come down." He tentatively messages. He knows Tay will not mind , he is helping him to court Em anyways..but what about oon? He has to inform him.

Kong sighs, oon will not like uninvited guest just before dinner time.. well, .he never really likes any guests, anytime...

" Ok"

the man standing down, looking at the high-rise , smiles slightly, his plan is set in motion.. He will ultimately enter Kong's reclusive abode.

It's infamous among the engineering third year students and final year students especially Kong's hazer group how he doesn't invite anyone back to his super luxurious condo, even not for his birthday or any special occasions. Em also hasn't been to his apartment more than once,that too only uptill the door, not even inside...

Kong always gives excuse that his long term music studying live-in boyfriend,Oon, values his privacy and feels disturbed if someone comes. The guy is a pure recluse and even Em hasn't seen him face to face, only through gazillions of photos in Kong's mobile.

The elevator takes him up and in no time Tay is knocking at the apartment number 206 A . Penthouse.. hmm Kong is a Sutthilak heir after all, highly loaded.

By the second knock, kong opens the door, but only a little crack and talks to him

" sorry to bother you phi Tay you can hand me the notes,  .. I will not eat uo more of your time ."

" hey nong, how rude of you? You are not even asking me to come in, though I came all the way to your apartment to give you my handmade notes"

Tay pouts and feels odd when Kong's face visibly darkens ..

It's true he came all the way up but Tay's coming to apartment building was no big deal, he was in the neighbourhood for group study and he himself offered to give the notes personally to Kong since the later needed to submit it in two days and he has an ulterior motive..

" Won't you even offer a glass of water . I am thirsty nong ." Tay persists on..

Kong knows Tay is lying but he moves away from the door and lets him come in ,

Tay looks around , the drawing room is huge and tastefully decorated, multiple couple pictures catches his eyes , Kong is smiling with a beautiful man..that must be oon,

.. so where is the enigmatic man ? Nobody is there in the drawing room and he can hear no other sound only a steady hum of the central AC and Kong moving around the kitchen and sounds of plates and other utensils, ..

Kong soon arrives with  two glasses of iced cold coffee breaking Tay's scrutiny around..

" I am not very good at making these , but since I just made one for myself,  I made it for you too ."

Tay looks at the handsome man, Em's best friend..he is definitely looking uncomfortably with his presence in his condo

Tay takes a sip of the welcome iced taste of the drink after the summer heat outside . Though it is almost 6 but the temperature and humidity is quite high today, even fifteen minutes outside is draining and Tay's shirt is sweat drenched .

Tay takes a chance for prolonging his stay ..

" hey kong, I know, I am intruding but I was thinking of meeting Em for a movie after this , can I take a quick shower at your place?"

Tay doesn't fail to see a hint of almost panic in Kong's eyes but soon Kong nods his head in agreement, he is a gentleman after all..

" second room to the right is the washroom.. fresh towels are kept inside , I will finish cooking rest of the dinner."

Kong gets up to go the kitchen with a noticeable scowl on his face .. Tay feels bad for snooping but this is the only way to look around and also he is not lying when he said he can use a bath before his movie date. Why is he snooping and so interested in Kong's life ?

Well duh!! The answer is simple, he has a bet with his ex hazer core group .. he even had a bet on scoring a date with Em which he had already won two days back. The money was sweet! All thanks to the gullible romantic kong who is so secretive about this Oon.. and Mike, Tay's batchmate, best friend and the handsome Playboy of their batch, already found Oon's photo desirable, when they all saw his photo accidentally in drunk Kong's mobile a week back, at Em' s birthday party .

That was the start of the date dare and also the dare to score another picture of oon at Kong's abode and find out more interesting information about the mysterious man so that Mike can devise his plan of seduction soon, bypassing Kong.

And Tay's gain in all these?! Free treat at Sabu Sabu definitely tastes much better when not paying from your own pocketas well as free supply of endless movie tickets and strip club coupons for the month.. , so a little harmless snooping or plain white lie never really harmed anybody. Has it ?

Tay moves towards the room kong has directed him too, but instead takes a turn left , and enters what he presumes to be the bedroom.. it's quite plain with a double bed and a study table and some more photos of kong and oon on the wall. But there is only one odd thing in the room.a showcase full of souvenirs,

There are seemingly unconnected objects lying inside it, like a worn out leather purse, a pen, a pocket knife etc etc, Tay unknowingly checks his own favourite skull key chain lying deep inside his pant pocket.

He also notices the odd sweet smell of musk permeating the room.. Tay looks around, he cannot see any perfume dispenser, hmm, interesting choice of room freshner, he cannot help but think..it has such a hypnotising smell..

He turns around to go out , but suddenly feels a cold tingle down his back, like someone is just standing behind him but that someone is made up of pure ice, as if cold waves are coming out and engulfing Tay, slowly freezing him on the spot.

.... Tay quickly turns the handle and comes out of the bedroom, shivering uncontrollably

" what was that!"

Tay shakes himself and turns back slowly, his heart hammering away.. there is absolutely no one behind him, he blames the uncanny feeling on watching too many horror movies lately and nervousness of the first time trying to sneak into some one else's bedroom..

The very next moment he can see and hear Kongpob nearby, his half leaned body can be seen from his position..Kong is leaning inside a room to his left, requesting some person to come out to give him company for dinner.

Tay feels relived, as well as foolish for his earlier jumpiness and takes two steps back, in the dark passage, to be away from Kong's eyes.

Tay understands Kong's boyfriend is in another room and here he went sneaking inside the couple's bedroom , he mentally scolds himself for being such a sleazy pervert.

What if that oon was awake and sitting there , what explanation he would have given for his sudden appearance! Mike and his stupid ideas! Tay mentally smacks himself for his utter stupidity from before..

Thankfully, his luck really held out and the junior and neither his boyfriend Oon have discovered him and Tay wisely decides, he better go inside the washroom and take bath before Kongpob apprehands him for invading his privacy....

Tay tiptoes and gets inside the washroom that Kongpob pointed out before..the lights automatically goes on, as he opens the door, all light switches have sensors, how neat! While taking the relaxing cold, nice shower, Tay feels a little disappointed that he couldn't click a picture of the bedroom or any room of Kong's house with oon in it, may be he should try his luck and sneak in and click a pic of oon unnoticed in that room! He can always say he got confused in the new place if caught.. it's a huge apartment after all with endless rooms..

Mike will never agree to pay up or give him a treat without Oon's photo and some information..and moreover today is the best day nobody knows Tay is here , his friends know he is with Em , and Em knows he is in group study session and will meet him later at the theatre for the night show..it will be a shocking surprise for Mike..and he can even brag about to everyone, and Tay loves to brag..

He starts dressing himself up, and suddenly stills.. that smell ! The sweet smell of musk is all around him and Tay cannot ignore this time the cold body standing so close to him, his breath like ice, a shiver runs down his spine and he wants to shout but no sound comes out only a silent scream and his feet feel like they are made of tonnes of iron, nailed to the floor,  not able to move.

. a heavy feeling starts settling on his chest and he knows if he doesn't get out of the washroom right now, he will meet his doom ..

With his last ebbing strength he yanks open the bathroom door and runs out , he doesn't know why he can't find the drawing room outside, it's like the dark passage is endless..

but he can hear the faint sounds of drum coming from the room Kong has leaned in earlier...the door is half open..may be oon can help him and Kong is also there .. Tay is trembling, as he enters the door which closes behind him automatically..

The sight that greets him makes him go weak in his knees..

Oon, is definitely playing the drums..the cute face the pale porcelain skin everything alike to the photos..only the wrists are sliced open and there is only blood and blood all around and he looks up and meets Tay's stunned terrified wide eyes..  there is no pupils in the eyes which stare back at him..
it's just white ...

Just before loosing all his senses Tay hears the distinct voice of Kongpob..

" Phi Tay you should not have come.. should not have made that bet and invited yourself in..oon doesn't like guests, he never likes guests.."

:::::::;;;;;;;;::::::;

Next morning, ..Kong gets ready to go to college, his hazer jacket well ironed , a wide smile on his face as he calls out to someone.

." oon, I am leaving..will be back soon baby, practice well, dont miss me too much"

Kong's bedroom is all the same .. except in the souvenir showcase ..a new skull keychain..hangs loosely beside all the unconnected mundane things screaming out their last stories..
