Broken Pieces

07. Mine was perfect without you.

Tonight's performance was a blast. The crowd was heated when the last song performed by Kirin finished.

Kirin took off his signature helmet that he always wear on stage. He left the stage after saying his thanks and farewell to the crowd, walking to Jay's table still with his helmet on hand.

"Your performance was as immaculate as always, man!" Jay said. Kuea raise his chin slightly approving Jay's words.

"Its a full house again, right?" Kuea asked which then replied by Jay with vigorous nods.

"All thanks to you, Ai Kuea!" He added. Kuea smiles michiveously.

"Then, let me drink for free tonight. I know you've made a lot of money!" Kuea said which makes Jay laughs.

"Aw, you're a Koonchai but still want to extort money from a peasant like me?" Jay gleefully said. And, a slap was sent to his back by Kuea. Jay heartily laughs before saying:

"Alright, its my treat tonight. Just drink to your heart content!"

Kuea smiles as he put his thumbs up.

"Thanks, Boss!" He said jokingly before snatching the man's drink and went to the crowd, ready to drown himself in the dancing crowd.

While Lian was on the side, eyes staring intensely at Kuea without blinking. Afraid if he blink once, he would missed Kuea's figure in the sea of people.

He could see Kuea dance happily with a drink on his hand that keep being refilled.

Minutes went by, an hour have already passed but Kuea was still on the crowd. Lian still sat on his table, once in a while people approached him with intention.

I mean, he's a fine man. Even with only a simple shirt to dress him wont make him lost his sparks. However he ignored them, he pushed them away. His eyes glued to Kuea and Kuea only.

He noticed any hands that dares to touch his Kuea. He was heated by all those alcohol he had drunk. But he was even more heated when seeing Kuea dancing with a random guy. Well, its not just dancing anymore because he saw them starts making out.

Lian widened his eyes in fright. He jumped from his seat almost immediately. He cant accept the fact that Kuea was doing this kind of thing. Lian clenched his jaw as he walked closer to Kuea.

Kuea have his eyes closed as he let that random man kissed him on his lips, he didnt care anymore. He rested his arms onto the man's shoulder before hugging his neck. The man took this as Kuea aggreeing to whatever he's about to do to him.

He grabbed Kuea by his waist and pulling him closer that their body starts to move, grinding their bodies at one another. Both are enjoying it despite the crowd surrounding them.

However, the man felt a hand pulling him away from Kuea. Their once connected lips was now separated, made Kuea frowned and opened his eyes.

To his surprise, he saw what he thought as an imposibility to ever occur. It was Lian, that damned Lian Kilen Wang with reddened face with one of his fist in the air before it fell to the random man's face.

The man fell to the floor with a punch from Lian. But Lian didnt stop, he cant stop. If the man die then just die. Lian didnt care anymore, the pain in his chest getting intense more than ever.

He kept punching the man like no tomorrow while the crowd which was originally dancing stopped. Screams comes one after another, makes the music disappeared. All of them backed away from Lian and the man.

But Kuea stayed, he grabbed Lian's arms and telling him to stop. But the older kept on going.

Not until the random man passed out. Lian moved away from the now unconscious man, he turned to look at Kuea. His rage was still there, he grips Kuea's hand before pulling him outside in a rush. Kuea was not silent, he kept screaming at Lian to let him go.

But Lian have his ears closed, he only stopped after they reached his car.

He let go of Kuea's hand, look at the younger one in front of him. Then, he took a glance at his hand that he grab earlier.

He noticed an obvious redness on it, soon a guilty feeling surge in his heart.

He's about to take Kuea's hand when Kuea moved his hands away from Lian.

He caress his own hand as he looks at Lian with hatred that Lian could clearly see.

"What are you doing?" Kuea asked, his voice was pitched high as anger took over him too.

"Nu, i-"

"It doesnt matter what youre doing. Just dont mess around with me. We're nothing to each other." Kuea butt in before Lian could say a word. Lian's body was tensed as he heard them.

He could feel it, how much Kuea hates him.

"Actually, youre nothing but disaster to my life. So, please just get a life. Mine was perfect without you. Farewell." Kuea coldly said before leaving Lian stunned.

Lian's mind went blank while Kuea's words being repeated on his mind. Over and over again.

He stood there, not moving even an inch. The night's getting late and the wind gets more chilly but Lian was still there. He couldnt process what just happened.

Actually, youre nothing but disaster to my life. So, please just get a life. Mine was perfect without you. Farewell.

It feels like a sword pierced through his chest. If words could kill, this one should be one of those, Lian thought.

He grabbed his car's door handle before making his way inside the car. His hands on steering wheel while his eyes looks onto the nothingness.

All he did after that was based on his body's memories. He turned on his car and drove it away from the scene.

He didnt know how fast he go as all of his focus was solely on Kuea's words.

The more he think about it the more painful it gets. He even wish he could just die so he didnt have to exprerience the pain again.

Yeah, he wished. He really does.
