Chapter 3

"In, are you avoiding me?" Korn stops in front of In who tries to evade him.
"Uhm... P. No, it's just I have been really busy with school."
"Stop lying to me. You said that you like me and now you're going back on your word." Korn walks closer and stops directly in front of In. "Take responsibility for this feeling."
Korn places his lip on In. In's eyes widen in shock. In places his hands on Korn's chest trying to push him then he feels Korn's tongue slip in his mouth. His hands begins to shiver not finding the strength to push the man away. He feels Korn's arms round his waist bringing him closer.

Ring! Ring!! Ring!!!
Dean jolts up from the sleep. He silences the alarm clock on the table beside him. He sees the time is 8:00am. It must have rang multiple times because he didn't hear it. He must have been so engrossed in the dream.
"I will find you In. I just need more clues."
Dean showers and dresses in black suit which fits his body perfectly. He goes downstairs to the dining room and sees his brother and sister already there having breakfast.
"Good morning, P'Dean." His brother and sister, Don and Del greet him respectively. He doesn't reply and sits down. He takes a red apple from the bowl of fruits on the table and eats it. He notices Don and Del giving each other eye contact but he doesn't care about it. The female maid brings his food for him. A plate of toasted bread and tea. He just takes a bite of the bread and a sip of tea. He stands up from his chair.
"P'Dean." Don calls his brother with difficulty.
Dean stops waiting for Don to talk.
"My friend is having a birthday party and I wanted to ask for your permission to go."
"Del, will you be following him?" Dean looks at his wristwatch, he needs to be early for Nirvana opening.
"No, I will be staying at home." Del drops the spoon on the half eaten food in the plate.
"You won't go for the party because Del will be alone neither will she follow you." Dean says about to leave.
"Uhm Dean." Del calls her brother who stops as he was about to walk. "You don't have worry. I can stay at home by myself."
"That's my final decision." Dean keeps on walking. He sees his black small car in front of the house and he enters it and drives off to Nirvana.

He arrives in front of the restaurant parking beside it. He steps out of the car and walks inside the restaurant.
"Dean. You're here, early." Win says from upstairs then he comes downstairs and hand shakes his best friend since college.
Dean looks around the beautifully decorated restaurant and sees a waiter and waitress dressed in a brown fit apron.
"You did a really great job with the decoration." Dean says.
The waiter and waitress walk towards him, greeting him politely.
"I'm King." The tanned skin waiter with brown hair says.
"I'm Joy." The pale skin waitress with long blond hair tied up neatly says.
Dean just nods and walks pass them. He sees a busy kitchen. Win stops beside him.
"The owner is here." Win announces making the workers to stop and look at Dean.
"Welcome P'Dean." The workers greet respectfully and coherently. Pharm turns off the fire cooking the fried rice. Dean hears his phone ringing and he quickly turns around to answer it. Pharm turns to see the owner and sees Dean walking out of the kitchen.
"This is the second time and I haven't even seen P'Dean's face." Pharm whispers to himself and resuming cooking.

Dean looks at the screen of his phone and sees Law written and he quickly answers it.
"Dean, I have some new information about In and Korn. I think you should come right away."
"I will be there shortly." Dean cuts the call and turns to Win."I'm sorry but something urgent just came up."
"Okay. Take care."
Dean enters his car and drives off. He drives hastily and arrives at Law's place. He opens the red door and sees reddish dragons designed on the curtains. He looks around and sees statues of Lord Buddha and other gods displayed around the small room with candles lit.
He walks to the round table in the center of the room and sits down on a chair. Dean shivers as soon as he feels Law's hand on his shoulders.
"I'm sorry I startled you." Law sits opposite him. "I have two things to tell you."
Dean squeezes his trousers at his sides."Please tell me."
"The detective I hired brought me these documents."
Law hands out a brown large envelope to Dean who snatches it quickly opening it. He sees old newspapers of two male students who committed suicide. He reads the headlines
TWO MALE LOVERS COMMITS SUICIDE BECAUSE OF FAMILY AND SOCIETY STIGMA.
Dean eyes moves to the pictures in the newspaper. He sees two male in coffins and another of them smiling at each other. It came as a thunder sound to his brain. It was like he was in a trance. He sees his past self, Korn hugging his lover, In.
"Don't worry I will protect you no matter what." Korn looks out the window and sees it's raining with flashes of lightning. Korn's father badges into the room with photos in his hands. His lips snarl in disgust seeing his son hugging another male so emotionally.
"Get away from my son." Korn pushes the two male apart from each other with all the energy he can fathom. "Korn, is this way you want to embarrass our family? Is this how I raised you?" Korn's father yells with the thunderous sound.
"Pa, I love.."
"Don't say those disgusting words. You have no idea what love is."
"No matter what you do. You can't separate me from In." Korn stands up to challenge his father so does In.
"It's all your fault." Korn's father points at the short male behind his son. "My son wasn't like this before. You have changed him."
Korn brings out his small pistol from his pocket pointing at the two lovers.
"Haa... P'Korn..." In gasps in fear holding his lover's arm tightly.
"Move Korn let me show this boy a lesson."
"Hey, what are you doing??" In's father badges into the room seeing the horrifying scene in front of him.
"I won't let you shoot my son." In's father rushes Korn's father's hand. They both drag the gun trying to get hold of it.
"Be careful Pa." In says with tears in his eyes.
"Let this gun go. This isn't how to resolve this." In's father says struggling with Korn's dad.
"Your son is the cause of this." Korn's dad muster all his strength and points the gun to Korn and In and shoots. The thunderous sounds follows afterward.

The two fathers stop struggling immediately and sees the scene behind them. Korn is grabbing onto In's limp dead body on his.
"In... In.." Korn notices the stream of blood flowing from the side of his head. He shakes the already dead male vigorously hoping he would somehow wake up.
"I love you In. Please wake up." Korn's tears falls on In's face. He drags his lover closer to his chest as he moans in pain. He looks at the two fathers with hatred. In's father runs to his son's body on the ground getting cold.
"In.." His father shakes his son's body. He glares at Korn's father.
"You shot my son. You will pay for this." In's father feels warm blood on his palm but he didn't care.
Korn rushes and takes the gun from his dad.
"Korn wait a minute. You don't have to do this. It was a mistake. Please wa..."
"I can't live without In."
Bang!!! Korn shoots himself in the head as well and he falls beside his lover.
"Kooooorrrrnnn." His father rushes to his son's body.

"Dean..Dean" Law says trying to bring him back. "Are you okay?"
Dean feels hot tears dripping out of his eyes down his cheeks.
"In... In.... he tried to protect me." Dean stutters.
"Calm down Dean. By His Grace, you have found out what happened in your past life which rarely happens." Law hands Dean a cup of water.
"Thank you." Dean drinks the water slowly. "What if I can't find him? If In reincarnated, his face must have changed just like mine. What if he didn't reincarnate at all? What if he reincarnated in another country?"
"Calm down Dean. Don't worry about that. Remember I told you I have something else to tell you."
Dean drops the empty cup on the table.
"During your burial, you were tied with a red thread to lead you both back to each other no matter the distance. God and Fate will bring you back together."
"Then how do I find In?"
"I had a revelation. In is very close to you. Very very close. But I can't pinpoint particularly. But I have one suggestion. Check your neighbourhood and workplace. He must be there."
