n. i think im gonna start ruining the story here --->

-------------------------------------------------

Days pass by so fast, nothing has changed between the two. Fluke, despite all of his problems, still keeps on meeting and waiting for Ohm. While Ohm, still the same kind phi to him, bringing him to eat at the noodle restaurant often.

Today, Fluke told the elder he couldn't meet with him because he promised to play with his friends. He said he wants Ohm to miss him too. Ohm just laughed it off, but now he can't deny that he kind of really missing the younger. He thinks it's really strange to spend a day without seeing the face you used to see every day. 

He walks up to his motor, gets his helmet before grabbing his phone, to text Fluke

To: Fluke

Having fun?

Just when he's about to send it he hears a noise near him. He turns in that direction and sees a girl, sitting on the ground looking unwell. He rushes to her and kneels to check on her.

"Are you okay?"

"Eum... just a little clumsy.." The girl tries to smile and get up, Ohm helps the girl, holding both of her arms.

"Ah, wait. I'll take you to the clinic."

The girl looks at him and nods before they walk together.

----

It's almost 9 pm, Fluke enters their house, the lights are on, so it means his parents are home. And they really are, arguing over petty things. He notices his sister Tian, eating in the corner while watching TV, laughing like their parents are not there. They don't even notice that their youngest child has come home late.

Fluke proceeds directly to his room and lets himself fall on his bed. Today's hanging out with friends was boring, they did casino and bar hopping but Prem got a call from his dad, so they all had to end their fun time together.

He lazily checks his phone and there's no text from the elder.

"Doesn't even bother to text, he doesn't miss me." He frowns, tosses his phone somewhere when suddenly the door opens with his brother Kao entering his room.

"Hey, long time no see, brother" Kao greets as he put his guitar on the side.

"Eumm. Glad to see you," he replies, rolling on his soft bed.

"Cooheart said you did a lot today, you had fun?"

"Not really, getting sick of bars now, where should we go next?"

"Go somewhere far next time and don't do naughty stuff. I'm getting this" Kao gets a can of beer in Fluke's mini-fridge and is about to head out when Fluke calls him.

"When you started dating Coo, did you even think of age differences, things like that?" he stares intently at his brother, waiting for an answer.

The truth is, he heard Ohm and his mom talk that day. It bothers him until now, so he thinks he needed to ask his brother, who is dating his best friend, who is six years younger than his brother.

"Age differences, my ass. Some even marry people 60 years older than them. Who cares about age now?"

"Right?" he replies, agreeing with his brother.

"Why did you ask? You're dating already, huh?"

Fluke just gaze at his phi, without answering. He doesn't know what to describe their relationship, but Ohm always calls him brother though he flirts with him. It's complicated. Should he tell that to him?

Kao smiles a bit after a couple of seconds not getting an answer from his brother, "Tell me who that person is and let phi talk to him. I'm going now." Kao says before grabbing his guitar.

"....pay for that beer, phi."

"Okay." Kao nonchalantly replies as he leaves his room.

Fluke sighs heavily, It's true, age doesn't matter these days.

It may be just either for Ohm it matters, or he's just making an excuse to not date him.

Should I still hold on? Fluke is starting to have doubts about Ohm.

"Brother.." He mutters to himself while staring at the ceiling.

He never admits, but he always feels a stab in his heart whenever he hears that word. That damn word.

He then decides to take a shower, and take a pill to sleep, as alcohol wasn't enough to make him sleep tonight.

Meanwhile, the man he's been thinking about is just in the restaurant, he's needed there to help because there were lots of customers. It is his aunt's restaurant, the aunt who brought Mix here in the city.

It's already closing time and he's just waiting for his brother, who asked him to send him to their aunt's house.

He gets a pack of cigarettes in his pocket, this is gonna be his first time smoking. He just wanted to try how it feels smoking.

"Hey, phi.. you're smoking?" He gets startled by the voice behind him. It's his brother, looking at him with his big eyes.

"Oh, just, trying.. someone said it helps reduce stress,"

"I don't think so, phi. Doing that often would give you more stress one day."

Ohm laughs, putting the cigarette back in his pocket. His brother is right, but he's just thinking of trying just this once, anyway.

"Oh, you know, I remember that person who told me that also goes to the same school as you, you might know him too."

"What's the name?"

"Fluke."

"Hmm...." Mix stops for a second before continuing. "we're... classmates."

Ohm's eyes widen, "Ah? He didn't tell me."

"We're not close, phi. We don't even talk."

Ohm just says a low 'oh' before giving his brother a helmet.

"Let's go."
