Hidden

Chapter 24

Kongpob avoided all the eyes on him as Arthit guided him away from the press and people hovering over them. With police officers pushing the press away, making way for Kongpob and Arthur, along with the lawyers to get inside the building.

"Kong, you okay?" Arthit asked worried after they got inside the building.

Kongpob gave a thin smile to the other, pulling his beanie down, fixing it.

"This is going to end soon, okay?" Arthit cupped Kongpob's cheeks between his palms.

Kongpob smiled at the small gesture, looking at how the older male was trying to make him comfortable while his own career had been a talk in the media after Arthit had been spotted with Kongpob at the lawyer's office and police stations.

"I have this feeling P'Arthit..." Kongpob gulped. "That something bad is going to happen."

Arthit shook his head, placing a soft kiss on the other's forehead. "I'm here, aren't I? Dad is also there inside. We'll have a last talk with Dan before the final statement from the court."

Kongpob took a deep breath, trying to smile ignoring the nagging feeling he nodded his head at his lover. Soon the two were escorted to a special room.

Kongpob's breath hitched when he saw the person sitting opposite to Chaow at the table. His palms started to sweat when the man turned towards him and directed a smirk at him.

"There's our hero." The sarcastic tone in the man's voice sends shivers down Kongpob.

Arthit glared at the man who was looking at Kongpob, his arms unconsciously made its way to Kongpob's waist, pulling the latter close to him as they walked ahead and sat opposite to the said man who had handcuffs on.

Arthit looked at his dad who placed a hand on his shoulder, giving him support.

"So, since everyone is here I would like the finalize the charges against Mr Dan Suttilak." Atty. Leo walked forward, placing the papers on the table he looked at men at either side of the table.

"Dan Suttilak had been charged with first-degree murder, of his sister's family. And many other murders with his companion Ray Chattakorn who had been already murdered by Dan's men. Also charged for harassment and threat."

Arthit smirked when he saw Dan's first clench on top of the table. Their eyes met eachother, anger evident on the older's eyes and Arthit couldn't help but snort at him.

"You'll pay for this Arthit Rojnapath," Dan grumbled but Arthit heard it clear.

Kongpob watched the encounter as he gulped. He looked at Chaow who was glaring at Dan and he could see how much anger and pain were in those eyes. He scooted closer to his lover and intertwined their fingers together under the table.

"You're also charged for drug trafficking/distribution, drug possession and also human trafficking charges." Atty. Leo closed the file and looked at Dan.

"Do you deny any of the charges that are put upon you?" He asked.

Dan gritted his teeth, staring straight into the eyes of Arthit who didn't back down as he stared back. The whole room could feel the tension that's rising among them and it was thick making them want to choke.

"P'Arthit, please." Kongpob tugged on the elder's shirt making Arthit break his eye contact from Dan to face his lover.

"I'm getting tired P, let's finish this off fast," Kongpob whispered, his voice filled with tiredness.
