Arthit with a blank eyes approached Kong, who is checking his surroundings with his troubled eyes. He wants to run away but he also knows that it will lead him close to Arthit.

He can't be close to Arthit he is already in deep shit for hiding his memory, so he doesn't want to add more. He gulped when he sense Arthit closeness towards him and clenched his fist tightly controlling his hands from reaching to his stomach.

The earthly scent which used to smooth him suddenly pushing him to surrender, but he stood rebellious.

"You knew!" Arthit states and took his final step to invade Kong's personal space. Kong hangs his head low praying for time to move back so that he can rectify his shameful confession.

"You remember me." Arthit stood stoic with his statement.

"Kongpop!!" His mother high pitched voice echoed around the kitchen. Kongpop mustered his strength and pushed Arthit shoulder before walk pass him to answer his mother.

Soon he reached to his mother side, he sat next to her while his grandmother took his both hands and caressed the palm.

"Would you both stay for a week more or at least till Friday?" The old lady requested them in her weak voice. Both mother and son shake their heads in unison but the pleading from the fragile lady broke their heart.

"We will visit you whenever you want!" Kong tried to reason out after seeing his mother close to giving up.

But he didn't expect to sight a sharp dark orb which is piercing his skin, sending tingles over his body. Kong found himself in a never escapable situation so he decided to do a thing that could help him to be back to himself. And that is, to confront the latter with lies.
