eight

Ohm woke up with a bad headache that felt like he had it since forever. His head felt heavy, his eyes were red, his mouth stinked like he just had a gallon of alcohol—

SHIT!

Was I drunk?! What happened?! Did something happened—

Oh.

Bowie. Bowie and I had a fight. And then, I went—I went straight to Nanon's—

This is Nanon's bed? What am I doing here?!

Still gaining his conciousness, Ohm got up from the bed he believed to be Nanon's and rushed to the living room to look for anyone specificially his best friend. "Nanonnnnn????!!!!"

"Nanonnn?????!!!"

"Nan—"

"Shut up, you asshole?! Are you planning to wake the whole residents?! You're making my ears hurt from that shouting!" Nanon came from the kitchen and placed himself on the sofa to continue his game.

Ohm, still looking miserable with his hair shriveled and his eyebags darkened, stared at Nanon dumbfoundedly. "Was I drunk last night?! What did I do?! How did I get here?! Why was I sleeping on your bed?! Did we fuck?!"

"Jesus christ, Ohm?!! Are you nuts?!" Nanon couldn't believe his friend right now who couldn't relax.

"Answer me!" Ohm shouted after Nanon didn't give him a reply.

"No!!! Why the fuck would we fuck?! Are you out of your mind?!"

Ohm gave Nanon a pretentious look. He sat beside his best friend who was holding a game console in which his attention now was to the huge TV screen.

"Seriously, Ohm. If you were going through a heartbreak, can't you do it somewhere else where I don't need to carry you all the way while you're drunk?" Nanon threw Ohm a disgusting look like how they used to give each other especially when they're annoyed. Ohm didn't feel anything as he was already so used to Nanon treating him like a gangsta. That's the way they show their care to each other.

"I don't even know how I ended up at your lobby! Next thing I knew, my car was already parked in the parking lot and my brain just keep telling me to see you!" Ohm wished it wasn't true, but that's how he remembered it.

"Check your phone. See if Bowie texted you this morning." Nanon gestured Ohm to take his phone on the coffee table infront of them. Ohm looked at Nanon twice before proceeding to take his phone and doing what Nanon asked him to.

No text from Bowie.

"Mai mi alai. None." Ohm looked at Nanon with a disappointed look.

Nanon stared at Ohm sad eyes. Did they really broke up?

"Maybe you should give her some time. If she doesn't call you in a few days from now maybe you guys should meet each other and talk things thoroughly. Don't think too much, na. I believe she still love you." Nanon almost puked upon saying those words. He couldn't even believe he said that only to comfort Ohm. It was so painful. The words definitely bleed.

"Nanon?"

Nanon looked on Ohm's side. "Hmm? Alai?"

"If Bowie and I decided to go public, would you be okay?"

Nanon froze. His fingers which were supposed to function on the game console suddenly when numb. His throat was dry as heck and he couldn't get any words came out from his mouth. He was taken aback by what Ohm just said.

"Is it okay if I tell everyone that I'm dating Bowie? Do you think our fans would understand?"

Nanon couldn't make up what was on Ohm's mind when he uttered those words. Ohm knew exactly how the BL industry worked and he was supposed to be the one who knew almost everything when it comes to personal life. Of course the fans would be so pissed if they find out about his relationship with Bowie. Would he be ready for that?
