Kong crossed and untangled his legs so many times, he messed up his gelled hair more than 10 times already, it's not because he is agitated with his work, but it's due to the intense stare which is tossing on his side by non-other than his enticing man.

And when he turns to him to warn the latter to stop staring at him, that latter dares to give him that captivity dimple smile.

Kong sighed, it's merely 2 days which he couldn't help but agree that this was his most exuberant and heart-rending days. He was in a dilemma between pleasant and unpleasant events. All because of this cold man who invaded his life without invitation.

Of course, he didn't give any kind of hint or invite except blushing and giggling like a fucking teenage boy who succeed in love whenever the opposite party flirts with him, moreover, he doesn't even behaved like this with Max in the past.

He has no place to hide, his home which once were his safe heaven, however, not anymore with Arthit staying next door. Anu, his another safe heaven was also not his anymore she got already smitten by this cunning beauty.

Arthit didn't put a single finger on him but the flirting and staring itself made Kong squirm in his place and wants more which he can't pinpoint why?!

In the past, even after watching porn for hours his mind never fleeted him a single fantasy idea for him to end up satisfying his needs without any feelings, however, now his mind flashing him a lots of perverted fantasy images whenever Arthit glows sexily which he pulls off almost all the time.

To stop his jitter mind getting worst he decided and took Anu to the office, who is currently in another room with her home school teacher.

Kong got startled and came out of his thoughts by a knock. Kong permitted Prae who helped Anu to get inside. Anu walks slowly towards Kong while hiding a paper behind her back. Kong stood and walks to other side of his desk.

Anu sat on the chair while Kong stood in front of her slightly leaning his back against the table. Anu fiddled with her gown still hiding the paper behind her back.

"What you want? Class over?" Kong asked curiously controlling his chuckle.

Anu shook her head and told, "They planned for a trip"

"Who?" Kong asked even though he knows the answer, Anu rarely shows her true emotion so kong will not easily leave the chance of making her express more.

"School, I have already rejected but she insisted I should talk with you and get a sign on this" Anu softly replied to him.

"Why did you reject the offer? It's a good chance for you to explore what the outside world looks like right? Moreover, you can meet your classmates and you could even get a friend! What you say?" Kong asked while stroking her hair.

Anu shook her head again "I am scared... they might not like me... I... what if grandpa's people saw me?" Anu asked with frightened eyes that Kong felt hurt. So he kneeled in front of her and cupped her cheeks to give a forehead kiss.

"You don't need to be afraid anymore Anu, I will never allow them to take you, If we don't find your relative in a month I will be legally your guardian, and, if your mom never returns I will adopt you... " Kong glanced Arthit who is watching them with a warm smile, he took a depth breath before finishing "as my daughter"

Anu eyes pooled with tears, Kong caressed her cheeks while saying.

"You can't hide forever Anu you need to come out, slowly, take this as a first step. Moreover, trips are always fun, I used to jump around in happiness whenever our school announced for a trip, once I even cried to get my mom with me and got reprimanded by my dad" Kong told with a content smile and sparkling eyes which Arthit can't help but comment "Cute"

Anu nodded her head, "ok then, I will go, it's day after tomorrow"

"So, which place you are going to?" Kong asked excitedly. Anu slowly stretched her hand from behind and shows the paper to Kong who exclaimed in happiness "Bench aquarium!!! I went here during my school! I loved it a lot Anu, Max asked me out in this one-..".

Kong stopped his words and clenched the corner of the paper in guilt 'Max, Max' he uttered softly, the name brings him both sweet and sour memory, will he ever meet Max again? Will he ever get a chance to apologise to Max?

A deafening sound resounded inside Kong cabin. Kong snapped his gaze at Arthit who bent and took the paperweight from the floor, which he dropped intentionally but he gave his innocent smile to Kong who turned back to Anu.

"You should go--.." Kong was stopped in middle by Arthit, "if you are still scared, I will accompany you and guard you without anyone notice, ok?" Arthit fondly told Anu who nodded her head with the dimpled smile.

Kong's eyes soften by the sight, he thought Arthit will not mingle with Anu seeing him awkward around her the day before yesterday but seems like, the beast too like kids.

Anu jumped from the chair and walks away after waving at kong who didn't notice the evil grin Arthit throwing at him.

Kong went back to his seat while Arthit too. "Hello prae... cancel all Kongpop meetings on Friday, he is going out... ok".

"Hey! Why did you cancel my meetings!" Kong exclaimed in bewilderment.

"Didn't we promised Anu that we will accompany her on the trip?" Arthit asked from his seat.

"It's you who promised her! Not me!" Kong declined him.

"But I can't go without you, if I go alone who will protect you?" Arthit asked crossing his legs. "I am not a feeble person, I can protect myself very well!" Kong protested with crossed arms.

"I know, but... I am scared of your father, what will he say if he knows I leave you alone for someone else?" Arthit asked while stood from his chair.

"Even if he thinks what is the matter Arthit? Just because I am gay doesn't mean I can't fight so you go with Anu I will take care of myself" Kong retorted, he is not believing the words of Arthit is fearing for his dad.

Arthit steps towards Kong, not minding the part where he mentioned about the gender he replied to his first question "It's a matter to me kongpop! Since no one will hand over their son hand for marriage after knowing that the guy doesn't put their precious son as his number one priority!"

The heat instantly creeps on Kong's body that he can't help but go red like a tomato, he bites his lips hard to stop the shy smile leaving from his lips.

"Arthit!! Stop being a nuisance and get out of my office!" Kong yelled before swing his chair facing the window while placing his files on his lap.

"OK" Arthit replied and slowly steps towards Kong who waited for the footsteps to stops but hearing no sound he try to turn his face and end up coming face to face with Arthit.

Arthit leaned to Kong's ears but ended up meeting dark alluring eyes "Then be ready for the date Kongpop!" Arthit whispered at kong face.

"S-stop it" Kong stuttered with a gulp, he clawed his files tightly controlling his hand from touching the radiant face. The closure proximity makes Kong's eyes moves to his favourite sweet, Arthit lips.

"Stop it what Kongpop!" Arthit asked leaning his face more closure allowing his breath to mingle with Kong.

"Stop.. the game you are playing... this is not a ground for you to explore who you are... go away from me... I am not worth your try... leave me alone... I don't like you" Kong told in his inaudible tone while his eyes still on Arthit lips.

Arthit chuckled, "Doesn't I have already mentioned you that your eyes speak the truth more than your mouth?" Arthit teased  with a sly smile for kong to move his eyes quickly from the lips.

By now Kong knows his blush and eyes are his first enemy when he was with Arthit.

Kong softly pushed Arthit away from him with his forearm. Arthit chuckled once again and leaves the room. Kong heart is still at a fast pace, the butterfly feelings didn't calm down, the desire to tasting the lips is slowing pushing him to lose his sanity.

He could feel his attraction is getting out of his control, but he doesn't know what to do, to fix him especially with the latter who is always glowing and doing everything perfectly. He sighed and closed his eyes to get some sleep.

Kong checked his image on the mirror after wearing his hoodie completing his outfit of black jeans with a white tee. He hides his face with a hoodie and steps out of his room after packet his phone.

He stopped in his track at the entrance, he got outstruck by the view, there Arthit stood leaning on the car while checking the phone in one hand while his other hands dangle his coat . The blue suit pant and the 3unbuttoned white shirt is not good for Kong heart.

The bracelet, watch, chain, every accessories boost his look more than it needed. Kong checked himself before fixing his eyes on Arthit again, is Arthit serious on him? Kong questioned to himself in his mind, if not why is he waiting for him with a box of chocolates.

Kong licks his lower lip when Arthit bends down to pick something after folding his sleeves. "I hope you are enjoying my show Kongpop!" Arthit yelled from his place with a smirk while Kong's eyes wend round with shaming flush.

He composed himself and walks to the latter, "Stop talking nonsense Arthit, my dad is home!" Kong warned and try to open the door but got stopped by Arthit.

"Then, what about you checking my chest? Is it a good thing?" Arthit asked with a mischievous glint.

"I...I didn't check.." Kong try to deteriorate but got stopped when Arthit blows on his neck, there is no physical contact between them, still, kong body shivered in arousal by Arthit breath on his neck.

"Let's go Kongpop" Arthit announced and walks to the other side of the car. Kong sighed and took the passenger seat, his eyes unconsciously moves to the chocolate box, he stared at it longingly.

He wonders why Arthit didn't give him yet. But turned away from it not wanting to show how desperate he is.

"Kongpop--.. ";

"For god sake, Arthit stop stressing my name every time you speak, especially the pop!" Kong barked at him annoyingly. "OK, kong" Arthit replied for kong to get more intimate by the call and regret his earlier words.

Arthit watched Anu who is introducing herself to her classmates after offering the chocolates to each. He smiled gratefully when every kids welcomed her with a smile.

He turned to Kong expecting to see the same smile but he got furrows when he sees a sulking Kong with a little pout.

Arthit put his hands on Kong's shoulders and asked "what happens?"

"I thought the chocolates were for m---... nothing.. I ..." Kong stiffened in his place before cursing his mouth for blurring out his thought. Arthit laughed surprising kong whose eyes went soft and sparkled in awe.

This is the first time he witnesses Arthit laughing big time, even though it's not a wonder thing, yet , he feel it's heart warming. Shaking his head from the unwanted bliss he quickly hides his face inside his hoodie and follows the kid's group.

".. And this is -----"; "moonfish" Anu blurred out in excitement and fiddle in her place after finding all eyes on her. "You know about it Anu," her mam asked with a warm smile, Anu nods her head lightly. "Will you please tell us about it?" Her mam asked her and encouraged her when she shook her head in fear. Anu glanced kong who encouraged her with his gesture.

"Opah, also called moonfish, is the only known fully warm-blooded fish.... ." Anu started to explain about every fish present inside the tank. Once she finished her explanation, everyone clasped their hand followed by their staff.

Anu shyly smiled at them all. She thanked her mam with other kids after glancing at kong who gives a thumbs up with a smile.

Kong turned his back to check Arthit whose eyes is roaming around to check the surrounding. Kong shook his head by Arthit protective nature and walks away.

Arthit stopped in his track when he sensed Kong is not with him, he turned around and saw him standing little away from him. Arthit stepped forward and stood next to him, he panicked when Kong's eyes pooled with tears.

"T-This is... where Max asked me out... this is the place where I decided to take the first step to acknowledge my sexuality, this is where I got my first k-kiss... if only I have heard him at least for a minute... I might have not lost him.." Kong's tears rolled over his cheeks, how good his life will be if his cold hearted senior didn't invade his life? How perfect his life will be if he didn't doubt Max love?

If he doesn't push Max away 2 years back he might by now has someone to lean on, he is missing his mom, he missed his childhood, he is missing his mom's pampering, he too wants someone to stand next to him to wipe his tears.

Arthit placed his hand on Kong's hand which is caressing the wall where a heart emoji with Max and kong name present. He takes the hand away from the names and wipes Kong tears with the latter own hand.

He moved Kong's hand to the latter chest and placed it on his heart "I am glad you are letting it out but this is not the right place... cry once we reach home, I will be next to you if you need a arms to embrace you" Arthit suggested with the sparkling dimple smile.

The first time Kong had seen this dimpled smile he wished to witness every day, however, he is not sure anymore, the smile is breaking his shell slowly and confusing him a lot. He slowly took his hand back from Arthit hold and walks away from there.

After some steps, he slowly turned to check Arthit or rather to thank the latter for his words, but got stopped with more puzzled thoughts.

Kong saw Arthit who took a little stone from the water tank next to him and scratched it on the stone, Kong is sure it must be on Max name, and now writing something which he doesn't know what?

But the same radiant dimple smile is dancing on his face while writing it, Kong should have felt hurt or mad at Arthit for scratching his ex-name.

Because, after knowing the truth from the senior the hate and disgust he felt for Max gone.

Max is not a bad person, he loved Kong truly, he pampered, cared and made Kong strong in that 6-month, he was Kongpop's comfort and pillar that time so why is he not getting angry on Arthit, why is he not feeling agitated by Arthit action. He turned away from Arthit with the nagging thoughts to follow Anu.

Anu jumped out of the car and runs happily inside to narrate about her delightful experience to May after seeing her at the entrance. Kong smiled and followed her but got stopped;

"Kong"  Arthit called the latter.

Kong stiffened in his place by the deep voice. Shortly he feels the hot breath fanning near his ears while a warmth shielding his whole back from the sun rays "It's for... you my baby"

Kong clenched his fist to hide his trembling hands and bite his lips to stop from breaking into a smile.

Arthit gave a homemade chocolate truffles box with a single red rose. When kong didn't stretch his hand to accept it, Arthit leaned his body almost touching kong from behind and pried his hand, he released kong clenched fist before placing his gift on the latter hand.

He backs away from Kong and walks towards the door passing him who stood there dazzled with his eyes on the gift which he received from Arthit.

When he heard a clearing throat he lifts his face and saw smirking May. He gulped and composed quickly, he sprinted inside after pushing her aside.

With Arthit he always forgets about his surroundings and leaves his guard down, what if his dad or anyone saw them before? He questioned himself in anxious.

Suddenly he heard a vibrating sound from his phone, without a glance Kong know who it is, it's Beam, for the past 5 days Beam is messaging and calling him for every hour. Kong closed his eyes after a exhausted sigh.

With the dejected face and tears stained cheeks Beam walks into the entrance of his clinic, he saw Forth who is pacing at the entrance. He sighed and walk pass him from Forth who rushed ahead of Beam and blocked his way.

"What you want?" Beam asked even after knowing the answer by heart. Forth rubbed the backside of his neck with a sheepish smile before answering "is your sister not yet returned?" Beam sighed and shook his head.

After hearing the painful voice from Beam Forth studied the latter face carefully, usually, he never gives attention to Beam face because it makes him crave for the latter sister more since they look almost the same. But the painful voice is tugging Forth in the wrong way so he observed Beam face.

When Beam walk away after shoving him aside, he stopped the latter with his words, "A cup of coffee?". Beam turned with a furrow while Forth stood stoic hiding his fear, "I mean... if you are free-.." forth was cut by Beam.

"Let's go," Beam said and walks out of his clinic entrance leaving the dumbfounded Forth who didn't expect the answer.

Both silently sipped their coffee not minding to exchange any words. Forth slowly breaks the silence "so, what happen-.." Forth didn't even finished his question for Beam to burst out his worries.

.........

"Hmm.. so your best friend did a thing which you hate and hide it from you, you finally caught him and when he came to explain about it you pushed him away saying you need time, now when you went to him to hear an explanation he yelled at you?! Is it Right?" Forth asked to confirm Beam words.

Beam nodded his head softly. "You understand me right? it's his mistake right!" Beam puffed his cheeks hoping Forth will support him. Forth nodded his head with a chuckle. He kept quiet for minutes before speaking "I asked my dad to review the contract papers and informed him that I need it in 2 days because I have to close the deal in 2 days,

I reminded him every day, yet, he didn't finish it instead apologised to me saying he was busy with some other things, I have changed my client meeting with an apology. The same thing happened between me and my secretary I scolded her a little and warned her to not do it again,

Same thing happened between me and my employee, this time I yelled at the employee and asked him to do 3 overnight as a punishment" Forth stopped and stared straight at Beam's eyes before continuing.

"The deal is important for me and my company, same mistake but three different persons, they are all important to me, but I didn't get angry on my dad because the bond between us stronger than other two, I love him, Whenever I mess around with my mom while she is cooking she won't get angry, cause she loves me more than her cooking

You said you both are like a brother so think how he will feel when you push him away even after he hides the thing just because he doesn't want you to get hurt, he must be in more pain than you Beam, cause he lived with the guilt until you caught him, if you truly think of him as your brother you should not ask him time, maybe after hearing his explanation,

this is what he must be facing now, so it's not his mistake too, it's always good when you accept your mistake and changed it" Forth words made Beam weep in more guilt and shame.

"You should try harder and it's not a sin to accept our mistake" Forth chuckled for Beam to nod his head while stirring his coffee with the spoon.

Both spend some more time together before parting away. From that day Beam start to send apologise in messages to kong and tried continuously to connect to him.
