The Song Of Us.

Stay.

Porchay had spent two whole weeks trying to forget about Kim.
He got up, ate, endured Tankhun's stupidities... But nights were difficult, Chay found himself in his room alone, and he cried thinking about his brief love story.
He had been stupid, to fall in love so quickly, but it's often like that with love, you don't expect it...

Porchay was in bed, staring into space, then he noticed the guitar Kim had given him. He got up to go get it, and he knelt against the window, his phone vibrated:

A friend request... A video... Kim was in front of his eyes, looking sad...

- This is for Porchay. Kim said with his sad voice.

He started to sing, a song that Chay had written himself, and he noticed tears on Kim's face… Shit.
Porchay was still crying, he couldn't get away from Kim. He was fierce and angry, but his heart remained tender, he couldn't help it.
Porchay didn't answer, he just felt sick to his stomach. He tried to pull himself together because someone had just knocked on his door. Tankhun, the eldest, entered with a big smile:

- Hellooooo, how are you? My dear baby Porchay.
- ... good.
- Tell me, can you go to a bar tonight? They have the best karaoke. I need to send YOU there, because my bodyguards aren't there. Please, please, please...

Porchay raised his eyebrows, why did he have to go there in particular? Didn't Tankhun already have everything?
But Tankhun wouldn't let him talk, and he forced him to leave....

- I'll send you the address on your phone, okay? Thank you !

Porchay therefore walked a little before finding himself in front of a small bar, there were a few customers, and a stage  was there, as if someone was going to perform right now... Porchay just understood why Tankhun had sent him... Damn. What a sly fox ! He wanted so much for Porchay to get back with Kim...

   Porchay wanted to leave but while turning around he faced Kim....

- Oh ? Good evening P'Kim, it's been months.
- Hum.... And are you okay?
- Good. I forgot all those bad things.
- It's good.

Kim looked at the floor, he walked around Porchay and headed towards the stage. For long minutes, Chay hesitated to leave, but deep down he knew he deserved an explanation. Without looking at the scene, Porchay sat down at a table - at the back of the bar, and he stared at Kim.

Kim greeted the audience before starting Chay's song. They gazed into each other... When Porchay felt his tears coming, he looked away and started fiddling with his hands nervously.... Kim's voice pierced through him:

🎶 - Lost in your eyes, there was no place I could hide
Take me inside and let me live in your mind
No pain tonight, this place is reserved for only you and I.... 🎶

When Kim finished his song, he walked straight over to Porchay, and their eyes met again, Kim was waiting standing against the wall, facing Chay.

- Sit down.

Kim then sat down in front of him. Porchay didn't want to look at him anymore, his good looks really crushed Chay's anger, especially with his perfect hair and serious expression.
Silence fell, Porchay didn't even know what he was doing there anymore. Chay then tried to get up, but Kim put his hand on his arm to stop him:

- Please.

Porchay obediently sat back down, Kim's hand then resting on Pochay's trembling one. Taking a deep breath, Porchay looked up.

- What do you want ?
- Stay... please.

With a tender gesture, Kim shook Porchay's hand and he sighed.

- I am sorry.
- For what ?
- .... Everything, I guess ..
- Not me. I'm not sorry for falling in love. I'm just sad that I fell in love with a guy like you.

Kim lowered his head, he knew every word Porchay had said was deserved. Even though it was painful. But Porchay hadn't taken his hand away, and he was in front of him. This might be his last chance.

- Chay.
- What ?
- I'm sorry for not being honest with you. I shouldn't have .... I ...
- You're better at making excuses. (Porchay was cold-voiced, but inside he felt victorious, as Kim seemed in pain just like Chay).
- I didn't think you'd be so... You. I was stupid Chay.
- Yes.
- I did not want... I don't want to put you in danger. You don't deserve someone like me.
- You didn't ask my opinion.
- If you are with me, you will be unhappy.
- I'm already unhappy because of you. And we are not together.

Kim sighed, yes he screwed up and Porchay was right.
Porchay bit his lip before asking a question, that was burning in his heart:

- P'Kim. Do you love me ?

Kimhan looked up into Chay's cold eyes, then he ran his finger under the young man's chin before detaching each word:

- I care for you. Way more than I thought. I.... love you, yes. More than you think and probably more than you.

Kim's face indicated that he was absolutely not joking, he was extremely serious. The truth exploded in his face: he was making Porchay unhappy by keeping him away, but he was just as unhappy without him. They could be only happy if they were together. Chay looked away, this time his cheeks were a pretty pink color...

- Damn ! Stupid brothers...

Kim smiled sadly at Porchay before affectionately combing his hair. Porchay groaned, but despite his attempts, his heart had regained the urge to fight: Kim had told him what he wanted to hear. He hadn't been the only one to feel this strong bond between him and Kim. Maybe.. maybe this time, Kim was saying the truth.

- I don't mind... if we start over. We can be friends at first. If you want..
- Chay.
- I'm not sure if I trust you completely, P.

Kim nodded, Porchay was suspicious, he was right. But Kim was no expert in love, he only knew that if Porchay stayed by his side, then he was happy. Kim led Porchay downstairs to his family's building, and the mood was still awkward, but Porchay's eyes were shining a little brighter now, even his face looked relaxed.

- Porchay?
- Hmm?
- Come closer.

Porchay looked at him curiously then he unbuckled his seat belt before leaning towards Kim. Kim looked at him with tenderness and he breathed lightly on Porchay's forehead before giving him a slight kiss, just between his eyebrows.

- P'! Friends don't do that kind of stuff! Chay grumbled before blushing.

But Kim burst out laughing, Porchay was so cute, he looked like a kitten.
