cutie bestie ➸ nunew x nat ✔

five

- 16 missed calls -

Kuea stared at the screen of his phone. Wondering what's with Lian up to.

"What's with our lover boy??? Why don't you call him? I bet you miss him!" Kuea got teased again by his friends. Ton always started to tease him and Jaab also joined him too.

Nunchy gets irritated with the two of them. She gave them a head slap. The two startled and they went silent afterward.

Kuea gets used to it and he is always thankful to Nunchy to save him from them.

"Since yesterday, you don't look so good. Are you okay?" Syn was about to tap Kuea's forehead. When someone slapped his hand away from it.

Suddenly Nuer popped out of nowhere. They have no class with him but Syn senses something from him.

Kuea only give them a look and he gave them a sign that he will go first.

Nunchy, Ton, and Jaab were left confused. They were about to see the unfold beef between Syn and Nuer.

"What are you doing here? You don't have any business here" Nunchy suddenly became the middle of the two.

But still, they gave each other a fierce look.

"Syn stop it" Ton and Jaab grabbed Syn away from them.

Nuer gave up while shaking his head. Nunchy left him and goes after her friends.

At Keerati's Mansion, Kuea was seating on the edge of his bed. He feels strange about anything happening lately. He kept looking at his phone like he was waiting for someone to call.

"I haven't seen Diao since that day"

His thoughts stopped when he heard a knock on the door. He went to the door and opened it.

His eyes widen.

"Hia Lian???" as usual he was in his formal clothes that looks like he came from his work.

Lian leads himself and enters Kuea's room.

"What are you doing here?!?!! You're not supposed to be here!" Kuea started to protest but the insensitive Lian only smirk to see his Kuea become dense.

"Why am I not allowed?? I am not allowed to enter my fiancé's room?" Kuea gets irritated and pushes Lian away. "You've been not answering all my calls.

"I break off the engagement! Why can't you understand it?" Lian was caught off guard again. He stares again at his finger, he still didn't wear it.

"The decision will not be valid because I refused to agree with you" he makes his way until he pinned Kuea to the wall.

Kuea avoids his face, showing how he was not comfortable with it. Lian snapped out and came back from reality.

He changed... Kuea changed...

He fixes himself and steps backward to make a distance from Kuea.

"I am here to inform you that from now on. You're going with me"

"What do you mean???!"

"Eventually, we were getting married. So we're going to live under the same roof from now on" Lian was about to caress Kuea cheek but he refuse his face to it.

"And you think that I am going with you??" Kuea exclaimed.

"You're my fiancé" he immediately replied.

Kuea ground his teeth but he tried to be calm as he is.

"Not anymore" he then tonelessly mumbled.

"Kuea don't repeat my words" Lian losing his patience. But deep down inside. He was hurt hearing it again from him.

Thought he was sulking that time.

"Then don't repeat mine" Kuea glared. He loses his temper.

He tried to push Lian out to his room but he was too strong and stood firmly in his place.

"I already told your mother about it. So in case, you feel hesitant" Lian blows his last alas. Kuea mother always asks Lian for his updates. And she also approved Lian's plan to live with Kuea in one roof house.

"Hia Lian.." Kuea feeling uneasy right now. He just wants to be alone and for Hia Lian to get out of his sight.

"I am giving you one day to think about it" Lian insists.

Kuea gives up but he still wants to make enough time to decide or should we say time to think about how can he escape Lian.

"How about two weeks?" he started to bid days...

"No"

"One week??"

"No. One day!"

"Five days??"

"No"

"Four days???"

"No--".

"Three days!! I'm not negotiating it again. I am giving you a favor so you give mine. I'll go after three days" Kuea presses his lips together while glaring at Lian.

"Okay, it's settled. You'll go with me within three days" Lian finally agreed.

"No. That's not what I meant---" he tried to protest but Lian grabbed him through his waist and lean closer to his face.

"Sshh" he put his index finger to his lips to shut him off. Lian smirked at him before he stormed off from his room.

Kuea left dumbfounded. He doesn't get why Lian suddenly doing this to him.

Later that moment, Kuea's phone rang on the table. He rush to it and he saw Diao's id name on the screen. Without blinking an eye. He swipes the accept call button.

"Hello..." Kuea's heart skipped as he answer the calls.

"Kuea..." Diao calling his name made him more flattered.

He was not like this before.

"I wanted to leave this house. But I don't know where to go" Diao started.

"Something happens?" Kuea worried asked.

"Yi was making me more uncomfortable, I should've left here earlier soon. Things won't be this complicated" he softly said. Kuea's eyes wondering to his wall. Thinking about what he can do to help his friend.

"Hmm... why not in the dragon's lair? I mean I live there alone"

"Wait?? Do you mean that??" Diao sounds relieved and excited at the same time.

"Yes, you know it's only the two of us who can access the house. It's like your already second home" Kuea feels so happy hearing Diao's voice like that.

"Thanks, Kuea. It means a lot"

"Don't mention it. You're like a brother to me"

Kuea feels instantly regrets what he just said. While in the other line, Diao felt his breath heavy when he heard it from him.

"It's already late, I'm off to sleep. Goodnight"

Diao dropped the call without waiting for Kuea's response.

He fell to his bed. He places his phone on his chest.

"Why do I feel that there's something wrong??" Kuea whispered to himself.

He completely forgot to tell Diao about what happened earlier with Lian.
