His Possession: A PokTong BL Fanfiction

Chapter 5

Two years ago...

Pok is looking at Tong's photo on his laptop. He forgot to lock the door.

His mom enters the room and sees Tong's photo and recognises him. Pok had brought him to the house multiple times before as friends.

She had suspected quite early on that her son is smitten by Tong and now she was confirmed.

Pok seemed hesitant and uncomfortable, thinking whether she had seen the photo or not.

"Dinner is ready."

Halfway through dinner, Pok seemed worried.

"Pok, your friend Tong is very intelligent. He is one of the brightest students after Sandee in your class. Why don't you ask him to tutor you?"

He sensed that she had seen the photo and was showing her support indirectly but he had to confirm, "Are you asking me to call Tong to come to our house and teach me?"

"Yes," she smiled with so much warmth that his heart filled with joy.

"I love you, mom."
"I love you too, my child."

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

"Wake up," Pok pushed him for the zillionth time, "you are going to be late for work today."

Tong was deep asleep. He rarely sleeps this late. Pok checked his forehead and it was warm.
"Do you have a fever?"

He got the thermometer and checked for it. Tong was a degree higher than usual. Mild fever.

Pok hurried out and got paracetamol. Tong had already made an omelette and was sitting by the dining table.

"You didn't have to," Pok uttered.

"I am just obeying the orders. Making breakfast was one of them, remember?" Tong was sick but still raging like fire.

"I will feed you the omelette."

"I don't need your pity. Give me the paracetamol. I can take care of myself." He snatched the medicine from Pok's hand.

Pok didn't want to argue now.

Intially Pok was in a dilemma between his love and anger towards Tong.

Over time, realizing that whatever wrong Tong did was because he really cared for Pok and wanted his success, his anger had faded away.

All the anger and control Pok showed now was just a pretence to keep Tong with him as long as he can because he is afraid that once he tells Tong that he forgives him, Tong is going to leave his condo. He can't afford to lose Tong. He'd miss him too much.

"Don't forget to take your med." Pok reminded Tong before dropping him to the academy.

"Did you have lunch?" Pok messaged him at 1.30.

"Bank ordered noodles for me." Tong replied normally.

Pok cursed and fumed with jealousy.

Sandee came in, "Pok, we have a meeting at 2."

"Thanks, Sandee. See you there."

Pok and Sandee both having garnered the top position in their batch got to work in the same company. They are still close friends but they don't talk about Tong at all. Pok wonders if Sandee has forgiven him yet or not.

Tong did ask for Sandee's forgiveness afterwards but he had said he could not be friends with someone who would risk his future. They have had no contact since.
