Till Death Do Us Apart

Chapter 3

In their study room, Gun and Krist were standing in front of Singto. He now feels the desire to flee. How did his brother found out about this? This is something he should not have discovered. Uncle Mark and a panting Off enter the room. 'This is going to be fantastic,' Gun reasoned. "What's the matter, Sing? What exactly did this little guy do? And why is Off here right now?" Uncle Mark bombarded Singto with questions. "Uncle, were you aware of what he did? He got involved in the fight last week. Worst of all, Off knew about it and didn't even think to tell me. I just asked Gun, but he won't even tell me why the fight happened." said Singto.

He asked who was using the medicine as soon as he found it, and the maids said it was Gun. They said Gun was involved in a fight last week. He couldn't keep his rage in check. Worse, Off, Krist, and even New are aware of this, but none of them bother to inform him. Uncle Mark simply sighed. He was familiar with Singto. He was probably afraid that something bad would happen to Gun because he adores his brother. At such young age, without complaining everything, he been the dad and the mom to Gun. He speaks slowly. "Singto... Why don't we listen to them first? Simply blurring out your rage will not solve the problem. Gun... Tell Uncle what happened before your brother's rage escalates." He turned to Gun and inquired ask him.

Gun simply lowered his head. He didn't even dare to say anything. Krist knew from the way Gun acted that this guy was probably scared. He needs to take action. Giving the signal for Off. Off he goes with his speech. "What happened was that I was bringing Gun out as he asked, but somehow..." "I'm hungry, Phi... I haven't had anything to eat... You promise to make fried rice with an omelette. However, you did not. Do you truly want me to die out of hunger? "Ask Krist, who is trying so hard to persuade his boyfriend. Krist prayed in his head, 'Dear God... Please save my ass later.'

And now here comes the exciting part: "Krist, have you eaten anything? I believe I already instructed the maids to prepare something for you. Why did you leave him hungry like this, you moron kid?" Uncle Mark attempting to reprimand Singto. Off and Gun didn't dare to say anything. But they had no idea that Singto's mind was one step ahead of them. Ignore them and keep scolding Gun, of course he can. But never in a million years would I ignore Krist. "Let's go feed your little stomach." He drags Krist out of the room, leaving three of them to celebrate their successful plan in silence.

"Isn't it wonderful? Just call Krist whenever we had a problem. Everything would be fine." Off was giggling like a lunatic. Who knows, a great man like Singto has one flaw: Krist. Uncle Mark is giggling. This kid is head over heels in love with Krist. "Sleep here tonight. It's already past midnight. But first, both of you must tell me what happened. So I can talk to him and cover you guys," Uncle Mark says as he walks away to his room. "I'm sorry for dragging you into this," Gun apologised to Off. Off, just smiling, pats the little guy on the head and says, "It's okay, Gun. Everything isn't important as long as you're okay. Like I said before, you are someone important to me cause you are my little brother."

Brother's words definitely make him sadder. Sometimes he wondered why papi never saw him as more than a brother. Then reality dawns on him. They have been separated by walls that knowns as brother. And the walls are impenetrable. Gun simply smiles and exits the room.

"Here you are. Make sure you eat until your stomach is full. Don't even consider sleeping with an empty stomach "Krist was warned by Singto. And then there's Krist. Smiling like a lunatic. Singto can't be mad at him no matter what the situation is. Krist slowly composes his words while finishing his meal to discuss what happened earlier. "Phi.. I know you're upset with us because we kept this from you. But that doesn't mean we're going to keep it hidden from you forever. We just didn't know what to say to you. Okay, imagine you knew about it. Wouldn't you kill them?"

"Well yeah, I'm going to kill them, of course. They have no right to touch my brother" Singto said to Krist. "See, that's why we didn't want to tell you since the beginning." We just don't want you to do anything stupid." Krist is still trying to explain everything to Singto. The food had long since been forgotten. Singto lets out a long sigh. "Of course, I'm not going to kill them right there, baby. I would do something, but I would not do something stupid. And I'm even angrier at you because you all intended to keep this from me. Off even allowed Gun to stay at his home. They even bribed all of the maids to remain silent when Gun came to pick his cloth. At the very least, notify me. I simply do not want anything to happen to him. After all, he is my only family." Singto continues to explain to Krist while looking into his eyes without pausing.

They rely solely on each other since their parent's death. When Singto takes over his father's business. He gave Gun everything he desired. Because he only has one brother, and his name is Gun. If something bad happens to him, he will blame himself for not taking proper care of Gun. Sinto break the silence, "Come on, it's getting late. I'm heading upstair first. Eat quickly and get to bed ". And, of course, it irritates Krist. Exactly like that? Usually, when he tried to save Gun from Singto, he had to give something in return, such as when Gun's teacher called to say he hadn't done his homework. But Singto just let it go tonight. 'Thank you, God, for hearing my prayer and saving my ass.' Krist ate quickly, washed the dish, and went straight to his room.

He jumped onto the bed, his eyes already closing. However, his eyes were open when he felt someone touching every inch of his skin. And it was Singto, who looked like a lion while devouring his meals. Singto smirk and said "Did you really think I was going to let it go? You're mistaken, baby. Prepare yourself because tonight will be a long night ". Krist literally had no choice but to accept it. 'I thought you saved me from the hungry lion. But you put me in his cage instead' Krist reflected.
