Our Secret (A MingPha Story)

26. Figure It Out

"Phi... Kit?" Wayo calls out with a trembling voice. He is clenching his fists against the sheets to avoid running to Kit due to the glass wall between them.

An expression of pain flashes in Kit's eyes before switching to a polite smile. "Hello, Wayo."

"What are you doing?" Beam questions with a frown. He is yet to recover from the shock upon the removal of the mask. He remembers his worries when Kit disappeared for days without a trace. He blames himself for not being attentive to Kit when Wayo was kidnapped. He blames himself for not caring for Phana when he had troubles before he disappeared. Now, Kit appears with the enemy appearing nonchalant and chilled as if he did not care about everyone.

"What are you fvcking doing with Jay?!" Beam loses it.

"Oh please, save it. I was merely doing what you're supposed to be doing," Kit hints sarcastically with the same coldness.

"What?!" Beam counters back with a shout. Wayo leans on Ming for comfort, restless to process the turn of events.

"I waited for you! I waited for Earth! I waited for Forth!!! No one did anything!!" Kit shouts before masking a laugh. "My boyfriend was kidnapped and my best friend was taken away. My other best friend is hiding secrets from me. Did you honestly want me to be a stupid kitty and stay still like a good pet?"

"Hiding secrets?" Forth repeats in confusion. He looks at Beam.

"Since we're at the blaming portion, let me tell you, Forth. Your dearest boyfriend here is the comrade of Tommy. They made plans with Jay for the stupid plan before it failed."

"Tommy? Beam? Jay?" Earth cuts in, trying to get inside the loop.

"The moment Beam and Tommy met up, they started planning for the supposedly brilliant plan to tackle the enemy. They planned everything with Jay without knowing Korn was liasing with the enemy. Even going as far as to keep everything a secret, wanting to be the hero at the end of the day. The only thing they didn't plan was the death of Kao. That's why everything failed."

"Kit... It's not what you think. Forth... Please let me explain..." Beam shakes his head before making eye contact with Tommy. Tommy keeps silent as if giving up on saying anything.

"I overheard your plans the exact night before Phana was taken from us," Kit's voice breaks as he mentions Phana's name. "I stupidly believed you and went to Kaownah instead of Phana. I was the reason Phana was alone and fell into the trap of Korn."

Kit turns to Ming with tears in his eyes. "I tried asking Beam about their plan. I tried asking Earth for his backup plan to save everyone. No one said anything. No one even wanted to do anything. I went outside for a breather before seeing Jay talking to someone. At first, I wanted to kill him for betraying my friends. But he explained his side of the story and how he obeyed Tommy because of his relations with another person. He's also angry with that bastard and seeks revenge. That's why I joined him. They have a better plan to take them down."

"They promised me I'll be one to rescue Ming and Wayo. They promised me Phana would be rescued. They promised me Korn would be tortured before getting his karma. They promised me they will reunite everyone together. And here we are, what they promised me. We are reunited. Right here. Right now."

Kit ends his speech with a clenched mouth. "I will not do anything. Earth will take care of Tommy. Forth will take care of Beam. I just want my friends back safe and sound. I just want everything to be okay. That's all I want. That's all I need." He finally looks at Wayo who gives him a sad smile.

"I'm sorry, P'Kit," Wayo sniffles. He sees and hears his pain. His helplessness. His agony.

"I had to learn and train fast. Jay is a good teacher. All I did up until now was taught by him." Kit signs.

Clicks.

The door opens and Jay walks in. He sees the different expressions on everyone and snorts. "Looks like the cat is out of the bag. Ai Kit, the prince is calling for you. Seems like they're going to the next step."

"Is Type ready?" Kit says calmly, ignoring gasps and stares from Earth and Fiat.

"Yeah... He should be," Jay shrugs.

"Is he still not speaking to you?" Jay shrugs again before Kit pats his shoulder. "I'll go to him now. I'll leave the rest to you." He walks to the door.

"P'Kit... Where's Phana?" Ming finally breaks his silence.

Kit stops in his step before responding. "Safe." He opens the door and walks out, leaving Jay standing in the room.

"Seems like everyone had a good reunion," Jay states with amusement. "Don't worry about Kit. He's trying to finish his tasks before making sure everyone is safe."

"I don't know you... I really don't," Earth mumbles but Jay hears it.

"I don't care if you hate me or think I'm the culprit. All I want is to keep my brother safe. And keep Phana safe too. He is the same as my brother. That's all." Jay turns around and leaves the room.

The room falls silent once again.

"Mingkwan... Mingkwan... Ming... Kwan..."

Phana mumbles in his sleep. His screams slowly subsided minutes ago when nightmares evaded his mind. Type observes him from his spot on the couch and checks his watch. 10 more minutes.

His phone lies on the table, a message opens on the screen. He does not want to reply. Nor does he want to. He hears a knock on the door and gets up, reaching the door before opening the latch to reveal Kit.

"It is time," Kit whispers. "How's Phana?"

"Sleeping. He has his appointment in 10 minutes so I'll wake him up," Type glances at his mask. "So you've met others?"

"Yeah... Well, their reaction is what I expected. I'll go now. And Type? Be kinder to Jay."

"Shut up..." Type rolls his eyes and shuts the latch.

Kit shakes his head and walks away. He reaches a guarded room and knocks on the door. He hears the approval and nods at the guards to unlock the door before walking in.

"So... What you want is done. Are you happy?"

"Not until the bastard is castrated, I'm not," Kit snarls. "So how's the fun going?"

"Ohh fun. I haven't done torturing for a while. Hearing the cries of a traitor is liberating. Want to give it a go?"

"No thanks. I don't like violence."

"No wonder they call you a kitty."

"Are you done?"

"Almost. It seems our prince wants some fun soon. See to that, will you?"

"Sure... Leave it to me."

"Thanks, Kit."

Finally managed to get a chapter up!! Sorry for the late update 🙏

I was planning to update before my birthday (I turned 28 yesterday!!!) But my brain didn't want to.

Somehow, I feel like I'm writing Kit as a bad guy? Or Beam as a bad guy? Didn't mean to!!!

I'm also revealing the casts for Jay and the others soon!!! So everyone will figure out who's the "Beautiful Man" 🤭🤭 Any guesses?
