Will you be mine?

Chapter 52

Kong POV

A cool breeze caresses my cheek, making me open my eyes. The bright light causes me to close them tight again. There was a fresh scent of lilacs feel the way as a gentle breeze caresses my cheek again. I slowly open my eyes blinking a few time to get use to the sun. The breeze felt wonderful, and for the first time in my whole life I felt truly at peace. I smiled to myself as I started walking down a well-worn path. There were trees, flowers, and bushes all around. I stopped at a lilac brush plucking some before I start walking again. I didn't know where I was, and frankly I didn't care. It was so peaceful here.

I don't know how long I was walking before I came upon a little cabin and a small pound next to it. It was so cute. Something I once saw in a book. There was smoke coming from the chimney, and the wonder smell of sweet and spicy floated towards me with the breeze. I walked to the cabin knocking gentle. I hummed gentle looking around when the door open. A short older woman stood in the doorway smiling. She couldn't have been much older than I am.

"Well good afternoon young man. How may I help you?"

"Hi! Sorry to bother you, but I was drawn here by the smells" I say smiling shyly. The woman smiled opening the door more.

"Then come inside young man. It's always a pleasure to have company." I followed her in. The cabin was all one room. A kitchen in the far left, a bed with a stand to the right with a small couch and chair in front of the bed. I started humming again as I looked around. "that is a lovely song, you have a beautiful voice. What is the name of the song?" she asked me. "My name is Kannika by the way."

"Hi, Khun Kannika, my name is Kongpob. It's nice to meet you. I don't know the name of the song. I just hum it every now and then." I smile at her.

"Likewise, Kongpob. What brings you here? Please have a seat."

"I...I don't know...I woke up out in the field." I furry my brow trying to remember.

"Oh?" the Kannika raise an eyebrow sitting down in the chair across from me, handing me a cup of tea. "here dear have this" I smiled taken it from her. I felt so comfortable with her. It was so relaxing here. It felt like I've known her my whole life. The gentle breeze was coming in through the window letting in the smell of flower. The smell of sweet and spicy still linger in the air.

"Khun, are you cooking anything in here?"

"No why?" she asked looking confused.

"There is a scent, something sweet, but spicy at the same time." I said confused. Kannika smiled but shook her head.

"It smells...familiar" I look down at my tea a feeling like I was forgetting something settle in the pit of my stomach. "Have you ever felt like you were forgetting something very important?" I asked her.

"Sometimes, but if it was really that important to me, I wouldn't have forgotten it, so I don't worry to much." She spoke. "You remind me of my son, he looked just like you, or should I say you look like him." I looked at her confused I tilted my head to the side raising an eyebrow.

"Oh? Do you have a picture of him?" She shook her head no.

"I use too. But I lost everything, a long time ago." She gave me a sad smile looking out the window.

"Oh, I'm so sorry. Where is your son now?" I asked drinking the tea. There was a tangy taste to it, but it tasted good anyways. I felt like I have had it before. Kannika looked at me smiling but didn't answer.

"So, tell me about yourself Kongpob." I looked at her thinking. I wasn't sure what to tell her, but I felt like I could tell her everything.

"I grew up...in a really bad place. An orphanage that treated their omega's horrible." I look down at my tea "I don't think I would have made it out alive if not for my friends. I owe them my life." Something flashed in Kannika eyes before it quickly disappeared, making Kong think it was a trick of the light.
