"Toast to our brotherhood!"

the boys celebrate in unison as their lips pucker to the beer cans lid. Drinking their happiness away with alcohol.

With content written on their faces it was clear sign of their victory tonight. The bravery they fought with, successfully bringing justice and peace to the ones who have died. Sean sighs putting down the beer can, squeezing the beer can in his hands as he throws it to the table. He burps loudly, drunkly exclaiming. "Father. I sent that bastard Armodee to hell! i served you peace. that bastard will never abuse our people again!"

Gram gently pats the drunk boy's shoulders. "There there Sean i think you had one beer too many for your small brain."

Sean quickly turns around grabbing a hold of his face. "My brain isn't small you bastard! come here right now."
Gram shouts as these two boys began to fidget and fight with their hands grabbing their faces. Pulling in their hairs and collars of the shirt. Gram squirming as he chokes out pushing Sean into a headlock as he was being choked by Sean's hands too. "You fucker. Let go!" Gram yells.

"You let go!"
"Okay we let go on 3, got it?"
Sean frantically nods with a tense squirm.
The two boys begin to count together.
"1..."
"2..."
"3...!"

Their arms unwrap themselves as Gram rolls to the ground and along with Sean breathing heavily. The boy from afar drinking the beer quietly, with slight annoyance to the two loud voices, he couldn't believe the sight. University students acting like they are twelve. Black sighs shaking his head.
These two are so immature. He thought.

Yok lays back into the couch inside the shared hideout they made for themselves. Each one has a room of their own, but others share with a roommate. Ayan and Black are roommates. Yok and Gram are roommates. Sean has the room to himself though occasionally his boyfriend White comes to stay the night— in which it's best to plug your ears if you want a peaceful night. Gram crawls towards Black and sits nearby the man. Ayan couldn't help but stare at the green bottle of beer stirring it in endless thoughts running back to Akk.

Lately he has been thinking of the boy and it's been putting him on edge. Those feelings are growing more and more like an unstoppable disease multiplying cells; the feeling of happiness disappears and when Akk is with him, the happiness returns. It was as if Akk stole a part of Ayan where he couldn't survive living away from the boy. He was bewitched. Bewitched by his best friend's twin brother. The forbidden feelings cannot make it to the surface and Ayan has tried to conceal it. But Yok knew it deep inside something has to do with Akk. The intuition coming from within the deep abdomen area, Yok knew, those two had something going on. If not they will eventually and it's what scares him.

"Aye." Yok spoke out bringing the boy next to him into reality. "What's on your mind?"

Ayan shifts, thinking what to respond.
"The mission. We succeeded." Ayan lies. He brings his bottle to click with Yok's bottle. The boy throws a soft smile. "You can thank me for the success." Ayan jokingly throws.

Yok slightly rolls his eyes shoving his best friend by the elbow. "You're not technically wrong though. We have the source of his greed thanks to you."

The money. The money is the problem to everything. The source to everyone's suffering and overpowering bastards ruling the society hierarchy. Without money in this filthy world there wouldn't be as much problems and deaths as it has now. Ayan truly wishes for the world to change but his hopes and dreams dim down everytime he meets people who are truly terrible. Perhaps he was far too optimistic for even having such dreams and ambitions to change the world. Maybe he should of kept dreaming. Though he might not be able to change anyone. At least he made true friends on the way. Gram, Sean, Black, Yok. Those four pillars in his life — he wouldn't know what he would be doing without them. These four met under the weirdest circumstances in life. Yok, Gran and Sean were childhood friends and throughout high school. Now moving into university. Black met the trio in university class first year. Later Ayan came to the university midterm which was awkward considering everyone was adjusting and had friends cliques, as well as already starting their exams. But that was just Ayan's luck when proceeding to take revenge on the government.

He had to move to a different university closer to Bangkok where the government that controls the entire Thailand was located at. Planning to destroy every person working in the damn government for what they did to his uncle. His only sole father figure in his life. An innocent citizen, pushed to death.
Because Ayan was seeking revenge the four boys were even more intrigued and soon enough they formed alliance. Yok states he will help Ayan. He will make him have the sweetest revenge of all time. Black has his own reasons to partake in the revenge, his own backstory of how his parents were cruel and rich. He ran away from them and his twin brother. He didn't want to take advantage for being better off than everyone else.

Gram comes from middle class family (that has gone bankrupt) thanks to the governments lies. But being the political and law student he is, he has his own ambitions to become a powerful role in society and change the values and norms of Thailand. Gram doesn't want anyone else to suffer and blame his compassionate heart— Black always told him that's way too gullible in this world and it would never work. But he wants to prove the pessimistic boy wrong.

Sean has a big family. They're all poor living directly into the slums within the village outskirts of Bangkok. He was not so fortune but he found comfort in his big family warmth and love. Sean always looks up to his father who was a civil citizen himself; working with police and being a cop. It brought good money but that wasn't ever their desire to have. Sean thought the government must be good since his father works for them, oh boy how wrong he was. The assumptions changed when his father died of poisoning in the water. All thanks to Armodee oil company.

Perhaps if they all had money their problems would vanish right? But that would make them criminals just like every person who is greedy and corrupted.
It really makes you think, about others and not just yourself. People can have it worse than you. It is what ticks Ayan the most.

He's sure Akk must be suffering. Government pressuring him to do the dirty work. Ayan clenches his teeth just by thinking of the scenario. It pisses him right off the edge and if he Akk was ever hurt, he would make sure to protect the taller boy. He might be shorter but he knows how to pack a punch.

"Oi." Gram calls out to Yok catching his friend's attention. Yok watches the blonde lean in putting an arm over the shoulders.
"What?" Yok teasingly adds. "You wanna kiss?"
Gram scorns out putting a hand over his mouth. "I'm drunk but not that drunk." He whispers and Yok smiles. "What the hell do you want if not kiss."

The two boys were in their own world speaking loudly though behind them was a long stare watching them. The closeness of their bodies together as if they were used to such intimacy scorches Black's eyes painfully and he never felt his blood boiling so fast. The feels of envy and pity surrounds the boy quiet from afar watching as he puts down the bottle.

Walking out of the area to most likely go outside. He couldn't stand watching Yok and Gram flirt so outrageously and freely. No. The boys did not notice Black's absents as of yet.

Gram trails nervously. "About that..."
"I was going to ask if your brother can tag along."

"No." Yok instantly said, cutting off the blonde. Gram pouts. "Too late."
"Too late what?" The taller repeats. Gram grins. "I already invited him for a drink."
