A Great Assortment

New Normal ( Kongnop x Arthit Au) -1/2

I was shocked when my girlfriend suddenly dumped me.

I know I have been busy with my work had to take care of newbies. So I couldn't spear much time for her recently.

But I thought she understood me.
I guess not.

I have been having trouble sleeping every night since my EX (now) girlfriend dumped me. Every time I tried to sleep, the words she there at me for the last time we met would come back and break my heart into pieces. It stings my heart like thousand needles, making me feel as if I should deserve to die.

I shouldn't exist.
I spent every day feeling like hell, and I became insomnia.
More I feel pressure on sleeping, and my eyes are fully awake.
The night was quiet and heavy, and all I could do was lying on my bed, waiting for the morning to come.
Even when finally morning comes, I am so gloomy.

She's gone.
I am a useless person.
Nobody needs me.

I am getting difficulty paying attention, focusing on tasks, or remembering.
I screwed up so badly at work, And everyone around me gave me the cold shoulder.
Now I am USELESS in my work, too. And I'm getting more and more stuck.
I can't stay here but where can I go?
Even if I quit this job, I don't think other companies would hire someone like me.
Should I go back to my mother's home?
I can't.
I don't want Mae to worry about me.

I have no place to go.

"I guess I'll just have to die."
I muttered.

"P'Arthit. I will make you feel better."

"Eh?"

It was N'Kongbop from University.
Kongpob is the son of a large plastics company president, but he's a guy who rejected that job, joined this small company where I was hired 2 years earlier than him.
Kong is a strange kid since he was in school. Back then, he was already a popular guy but never had a girlfriend. Instead, he always follows me around no matter how much I treated him coldly.

All of My friends said Kong like me, but I didn't believe them.

Because I like girls.

Still...

P'Arthit. I will make you feel better and set you free from suffering.

When Kongbop said, I couldn't resist it yet couldn't see his face.
I didn't want him to think I am a loser, and I wanted to disappear if he looked at me with pity.

The way he smiled at me did not make me feel pity or suspicion, but something different...anticipation.

Anticipation?

"You don't have to suffer anymore."

I had fallen for his trick.
I knew the kind of person who isn't innocent.
Who would whisper such sweet nothings to someone in the depths of misery?

"Good morning, P'Arthit."

"...Uh..morning."
It's a Saturday morning, and I'm sitting at the kitchen table while N'Kongbop is making cafe au let ( with lots of sugar).

I glanced at my gorgeous breakfast, the western style today: toast, scrambled eggs, sausages, mashed potatoes, and a simple salad.

If it were just me, I would have ended up with toast and coffee or no breakfast anyway. I'd rather sleep until noon.

I sipped a café au lait that was the perfect temperature for my taste.

ーIt's so perfect.

"Do you like it?"
Kongbop smiled at me.
