"What are you doing here?"

That's the first thing which pops out of Kongpob when he sees the young man still dressed in work clothes, sleeping outside his apartment. He has left Ryan half an hour ago, after Damon announced his arrival.

Anurak scrambles to his feet, rubbing his eyes vigorously to ward off the sleep. He can feel kinks in his various body parts and sore muscles and barely manages to not wince. He has came to elder's apartment last night, all intending to come clean about that day as well as to apologise. Finding the locked door, he decided to camp outside and wait for the other. He didn't realised when sleep overtook his senses.

"I am sorry phi. I dont know what came over me that day. I am so sorry!!! do whatever you -

Kongpob tunes out other person's rambled mess of an apology and heeds to unlocking the door. He is tired. His whole body is sore from laying in same position for whole night. And after the outburst disclosure of Ryan, it took a while for Kongpob to calm the man. He is emotionally drained and can't handle any more of the talk which is the main agenda of his uninvited visitor. He pushes open the door and turns back to the youngest Sung who has gotten quiet now. His eyes swimming in hurt, guilt and confusion. He wants to assure the other but at the moment, he is just too damn tired.

"Anurak, can we talk some other time?? I don't have enough energy to deal with...", the elder vaguely waves towards the young man whose face falls some more, understanding the unsaid words. Still, he forces a smile," oh..ok ok Phi, I'll...I...leave-

Kongpob huffs, and flicks the other on forehead," stop annoying me!! just come inside and sleep. You and I, we both are in need of a good sleep before having a sensible talk like grown adults"

Anurak gapes at the back of the Kongpob before shuffling inside, clicking the lock in place and follows the elder who toes off his shoes, dropping his back pack next before dropping into the sofa, not bothering to go to the bed

Anurak gapes at the back of the Kongpob before shuffling inside, clicking the lock in place and follows the elder who toes off his shoes, dropping his back pack next before dropping into the sofa, not bothering to go to the bed. The younger one remains at the threshold for some time, gazing at the figure lying before him. The warmth he always felt whenever the other is in his vicnity engulfs him. He has not expected the older to behave this way with him. It feels...normal? like...like before when he had not lost his brain cells and almost kissed his phi....it's your chance Anurak. Use it wisely and gain trust of the elder...mentally going through the list of all things he could do to achieve that, he starts to clean up. Taking off his own shoes and socks, he picks up Kongpob's too and placed both pairs in the rack, before collecting the messanger bag and hanging it in the holder. After that, he reaches Kongpob and removes his socks too before throwing them in the laundry basket. He stands up, intending to tidy up the apartment, but stops when his wrist is grabbed by the elder.

"Phi?"

"Just sleep. All these things can wait, and...', Kongpob looks up, sleepy eyes stares back at Anurak,"....don't worry, I..won't run away this time", and goes back to dreamland.
