"When did you became peeping tom?" Kongpob teased his husband who just puffed his cheeks. Initially, Arthit wanted to leave to his room but was skeptical about leaving his husband with 'those' people. So, he hid behind the wall and heard everything.
Arthit felt the sincerity in their words and was about to come out when his husband declined the invitation.
🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊
** Next day Morning
"Again?" Arthit exclaimed getting the hospital ship crew's attention. They were leaving to the ship ready to sail but stopped when they heard Arthit's voice.
They saw how Kongpob came with his halting steps because of his sprained leg. "What happened, P'Arthit?"
"I told you, let's go back to Seoul and get tested. But you wanted to visit OEDO Island. Now see, the boat ride is canceled again and we have to book in advance for a cruise trip." Kongpob sighed
"But I wanted to visit botanical garden there," Kongpob said with a pout. Everyone who is seeing it had an involuntary smile on their face.
"Let's come next time. Your health is also not good now-"
"Sorry to interrupt but you can join us" Dr. Kwak interrupted them and offered. Arthit saw how everyone is nodding happily with the suggestion.
"Thanks but we'll be returning to Seoul and then to Bangkok." Arthit politely declined. He's still confused about who this person is because he didn't saw him yesterday. Seeing the confusion, Kwak clicked his tongue and introduced himself.
"Hi, I am Kwak Hyun, Doctor from Internal Medicine. I checked your husband's report and there's nothing to worry about. Small dosage of medications and good diet will do" Kwak stretched his hand for a handshake and both Kongpob & Arthit replicated the same. Captain along with Dr. Song also came forward and insisted to come with them on their ship.
"I'm extremely sorry for what you had to hear yesterday but it was not intentional. Being an old bone, a change something like this is difficult for me to understand, and on top of that, I have been shuttling over islands from the starting of my career, completely isolated from the outside world.
Please give us a chance to rectify our mistake." Captain apologized
"Yes, we'll get to listen to your story as well" Dr. Song pitched in.
"And to thank you guys also" Dr. Kwak added
"Thank us?" Kongpob asked with confusion marred over his face.
"Yes... Yesterday I got to know that my lover started believing in eternal love after seeing you both for just a few minutes" Dr. Kwak replied whereas Dr. Song hung her head low to hide her shyness. Everyone else chuckled from behind
"Lover?" Arthit asked this time. Kwak held Dr. Song's hand and waved at them while introducing her as his lover.
🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊
"Let's go on the deck. It's a great view from there" Nurse Pyo told the couple who agreed and along with them, everyone started following.
"Oh my... Why am I the captain? I won't be able to listen to their story?" Captain sulked which surprisingly Arthit finds cute despite yesterday's impression and smiled a bit.
"Don't sulk now, Captain... We'll tell you later" Stomping his foot, the captain left whereas the couple looked at him with concern. Dr. Song told them not to worry and redirected them to the deck.
Everyone started spreading drinks, snacks, and other eateries on the table and took seats, ready to listen to the story.
Arthit is about to start when a blazing siren sound rang and out of instinct, he quickly covered Kongpob's ears while hugging him from the side. Kongpob felt a bit shy but Arthit is focused on the sound so that he can remove his hands once the sound is gone. He completely forgot about the surroundings and everyone else smiled.
Eun Jae is right... even in small actions, I can see love and care between them - Dr. Kwak thought.
Arthit acted unaffected by his sudden action but Kongpob can see through it how Arthit is cursing himself internally. He held Arthit's hand under the table and the shy smile also didn't leave unnoticed by the audience.
"How much time has it's been?" Nurse Yoo asked
"You mean our togetherness?" Everyone nodded and Kongpob replied "10 Years"
"10 Years?" Everyone shouted at a time making the couple startle.
Kongpob started the story and with the progress, they smiled, laughed, scolded Arthit for being rude, cried for Kongpob's sadness, and clapped when the first kiss was explained.
They also explained how the working world affected their dating life and how they almost broke up twice but came back because the love between them is above all fears and insecurities they had.
"We faced all the hurdles and experienced all the perks of being in love just like any other couple. The only difference is we have an added hurdle and fear of 'being Judged'.
Few may not have" Arthit explained and looked at Kongpob before continuing "And few may.
But if we move over it, and have our families' support then I guess... it's unstoppable."
"Love is a very divine and special feeling. Not many can experience it then why adding more restrictions on top of it, like gender, status, age, religion?" Kongpob completed.
