cutie bestie ➸ nunew x nat ✔

nineteen

Looking tensely from the outside of their mansion, he realizes that it has been a while since he had been there. 

He heard a small, sweet voice ask, "You okay, Kuea?" and the tension inside him immediately subsided. He faced him as he turned and he nodded assuring Diao that he was okay.  Afterward, he firmly grasps his hand. Through the exchange of looks. Both of them make their way to the door. Before he could even attempt to knock. A door has already been opened for them by the maid. They stepped inside while beaming reassuringly at the maid. His gaze wanders throughout their mansion. Nothing has changed; this place is still lonely.

"Young Master Kuea, your mother will be here at the moment" Their maid stepped out of their sight. Just a couple of minutes later his mother walked downstairs. Her eyes landed on Kuea. Then she looked at the guy next to his son, she knew he was his friend. She was a bit wondered about why their hands intertwined. But she kept it calm until she got close to his son. Diao unconsciously took his hand off from Kuea's. 

Kuea was longing for his mother, he hugged her that tight. "It's been a long time Mom" His mother almost went into tears as he heard his son's voice. Diao could only watch them reunited. He was glad for his lover. After that session, Kuea was about to introduce Diao as his boyfriend but his mother cut him off.

"Your Kuea's close friend or best friend right?" they both look at each other speechless and the only thing they can do is to agree with her. Kuea feels terrible for it for not confronting it right away.

"So kids, have you eaten yet?" Kuea was shaking his head. "Okay great, I already booked a restaurant. Shall we go?" the two young boys agreed and followed Kuea's mother.

The small boy was perplexed as to why their meal wasn't yet on the table and asked, "Are we waiting for someone Mom?" They had been there for fifteen minutes by then. His mother giddily regarded her son. "You'll see son"

His mother's eyes sparkled when she saw Lian from afar who was looking for them in the room. When finally Lian saw Kuea's mom waving at him. He walked towards them.

Kuea and Diao, who were unaware that a visitor was on the way, were both surprised when they noticed Lian seated at their table. Particularly Kuea, who lacks both the ability to act and speak appropriately.

"Finally, my soon-to-be son-in-law arrived." Lian is cherished by his mother just as much as her son. And she was the one who was overjoyed at the prospect of arranging Lian's marriage to her son. She has been in favor of Kuea falling in love with Lian. She believes that everything has turned out exactly as they had planned. She even has to trust her so-called Son-in-Law to watch over Kuea for her.

Kuea wondered whether her mother knew that he had called off his engagement to Lian. Or Lian might have already addressed his mother. He could not tell her the truth about what had happened over the previous months. And now he dared to introduce finally Diao to his Mother. He thinks it is not the right time seeing his mother was on glee seeing Lian.

"You've been more handsome Lian" the old lady praising his called son-in-law in front of Kuea and Diao's food.

Lian humbled and sneered. "We just met a week ago. Mrs. Keerati" eyes widen from Kuea. He couldn't believe that they were just that close like that and they met more often than her son. He felt he was not the real son here.

"How many times have I told you not to call me that? You're being so formal. Were like family already Lian" The old lady stared at her son while giving a sweet meaningful smile. "You guys are getting married soon right?"

Both of them felt uneasy, especially Kuea. His hands are shaking under the table. While Diao saw him trembling down. He reached his hand and firmly held it.

Lian could only look at Kuea in his cool way. He misses his Kuea so much, they haven't met for a while because he thinks Kuea needs some space from him. And when his Mother invites him over to lunch with them. It's sparkling another hope for him to get Kuea's hand for marriage once again. Though Lian hasn't brought that news yet to his mother he called to call off his engagement to her.

The old lady rejoiced to see his son and Lian looking at each other so that she clumsily slipped the table knife from her hand. Lian insisted on taking the table knife from the floor. The table knife was on the floor, so he bowed his back and reached underneath the table to retrieve it. But to his surprise, he didn't only catch the table knife but instead, he caught Kuea and Diao holding hands from the table. He suddenly feels weird upon seeing that incident. After catching it. They continue to chit-chat things. Catching up to each other.

Diao on the other hand doesn't feel good in his spot. He felt so left out even though Kuea holding his hands under the table. He felt unsatisfied with it. His mother continues to tease Lian and Kuea. She started to share some things that Kuea shared when he was head over heels to Lian.

The small guy can't even swallow the food properly for feeling shit right now. He understands Kuea has been trying to subside things but he can't help to feel about himself. He was the boyfriend here yet he is seeing his lover getting teased by another man. Worst case he was the ex-fiancé.

After finishing the meal, he excused himself to go find a toilet. But Kuea felt something off from his boyfriend, he knew something was wrong. And he is so sure that it's because of him.

Minutes later Diao exiting in their table. Kuea excused himself and also left his mother and Lian at their table in confusion.

Lian could only look at Kuea walking away. He had never gotten a chance to talk to him either.

"The way I've never been here in your club Hia Yi" Diao was already drunk after only a few glasses of beer. Yi could only just accompany him without understanding what's the reason why Diao wanted to be wasted tonight.

Yi booked a VIP room so Diao couldn't go and roam around because he knew that he was a light drinker. So he could also look after him. He felt relieved that Diao chose him to be with him and go to his club.

"Are you sure you can still drink? You look already mess Diao" worriedly asked him. Because he already emptied those glasses they ordered.

By scanning his face, he is red as a tomato and his eyes are about to close.

"Did Kuea know you're here?" Diao tipsy shaking his head at him.

Yi felt stressed right now, he knew it. Something was off to Diao.

"Did you guys fight?" he only smiled as he shook his head. Tried to hold back his tears but too late. He was already crying.

"I love him so much Hia Yi..." he grabbed Yi's sleeves and he pulled himself to hug Yi. He buried his face as he continued to cry. The older guy only can do is to caress Diao's head.

He was confused by sudden Diao's outburst but the only thing he knew Diao needed company.

He stopped crying for a minute. Then he went silent as he felt the awkward atmosphere between them. I was waiting for him to talk cause he also felt lost for words.

"Sorry..." the young lad wants to hit his head for being an idiot earlier.

"Are you sober already?" he didn't mind the unnecessary apology from him.

He nodded and then fell asleep later on. Yi can only slightly chuckle. He stared at Diao and smiled at him.

Then he proceeds to call Kuea. "Diao was here..."
