Sotus The Séries 3: Now And Forever ⚙️

Hard Times: Part 1️⃣

The day Arthit left for his parents' house, Kongphob already expected it to be a difficult day. But he didn't want his routine to change because of that, so even though he was crying he went to shower to get ready for work, he was obviously discouraged but still, he tried hard to do everything as normal as possible. Later he started having headaches and decided to take medicine, his co-worker had already noticed his behavior since he arrived because he was very quiet and when he saw him taking medicine he asked;

- Kongphob are you really okay?

- Yeah, it's just a headache...

- You've been like this all day, why didn't you call and ask for the day off?

- It's not so extreme.

- Wants to know? Go home, you're not being proactive as usual, plus you don't have a lot of work today. It's Friday, go home and take care not to get too sick.

- But...

Kongphob tried to deny it but his friend soon concluded:

- see you monday!

Kongphob then thanked him and didn't take long to return home. Normally he would stop by somewhere to buy food, but he didn't have that need anymore, for him it was as if a part of him had gone with Arthit. A lively and passionate part.

What's left now?

When he arrived at the dorm, he immediately threw his bag on the floor, threw himself on the bed and turned on the TV. What was going on? He couldn't tell, as he wasn't paying attention, he just called the room so it wouldn't be so dark.

He didn't look at his cell phone, he didn't want to receive a message or call from anyone, not even from Arthit. They haven't spoken since Arthit left.

Kongphob was as sad and frustrated as he hadn't been in a long time. It seemed to hurt three times more than it should, he felt powerless, it was a problem that wasn't up to him alone to solve and that frustrated him a lot.

In the middle of his thoughts he heard the door slam, he thought at first it was his imagination, but it made noise again, he didn't take long to go open it, for some reason Arthit came to his mind, when he then opened it, came the surprise;

- Kongphob!

- M?

His friend M soon tried to give Kongphob a nice hug, it had been a while since they had seen each other, after all, they were working and living in different cities.

But, they always talked via video, and that's how Kongphob told what had happened to M who noticed that something was wrong.

But Kongphob didn't expect to see him in his dorm.

- What are you doing here?

- Horas, I'm your best friend, what kind of friend would I be if I didn't come to give you a hand on the day Arthit leaves?

- At a time like this?

- Yeah... I'll sleep here, but don't worry, I'll sleep on the floor if you want, and I brought food!

M was soon inside and the two sat at the little table near the balcony.

- It's not that, I just thought...

- Listen Kongphob, I know you're sad and you think you have to feel this for a long time, but man, I think you have to anesthetize certain pains, sometimes you and Arthit have a problem you always get like that.

- And how should I feel when I know that our whole relationship can come to nothing?

- But aren't relationships like that? I mean, of course we don't date wanting to break up, I know you've wanted to be able to marry and build a family with Arthit for a while, but you guys like any other couple take that risk.

I really root for you both, but it makes me sad to see you like this, as if your life depended on it and as if without it you would have nothing.

- But Arthit is part of an important side of my life.

-But he is not everything in her, you have a family, friends, interests... And if he loves you, he will fight for you.

- I don't know what will become of us, it seems like we're going around in circles, when I think we've progressed, we regress, I don't know... It's like we never win...

- Look, you said you told your family about you, now it's his turn. There's nothing you can do, you can't be a hero, if he loves you, he'll have the courage to speak up.

- But it turns out that there's this situation with his family now, I don't even feel good demanding something from him...

- That's true, but it turns out that you should have done this a long time ago, maybe this is a punishment for the delay of the two of you.

- Look... let's eat, okay?

Kongphob didn't want to prolong the subject and they went to eat, they were talking about other subjects, M talked about his work... Soon after they went to sleep.

Kongphob didn't look at his phone much, so he didn't see Arthit's good night message.
