"So? Did you finally talked to him? Did he talk to you, Po? What did he say? What did he say? Tell me!" Bible exclaimed.
He can see that Apo is already starting to feel irritated towards him but what can he do? He really wanna know what did Build say when he talked with Apo. He wants to know everything.
Apo shrugged off his hand from his shoulder before letting out an annoyed breath but Bible was so invested in knowing Build's answer to even care about how Apo treated him.
The older rolled his eyes at him before crossing his legs in a more graceful manner.
"Build told me everything last night." Apo started.
Bible quickly gave all his attention to the older, he didn't speak and just let Apo continue with his words.
"He don't wanna cause you any trouble." Apo said. Bible's eyebrows furrowed. He didn't get it. What does he mean by that? What trouble is Build talking about? He's not troubled at all?!
"What do you mean?" Bible asked, completely lost with Apo's words.
The older shakes his head before placing his elbow atop the coffee table inside the mini coffee shop where they are currently in and is waiting for their oder to finally arrived. They chose to meet here because this is the closest to Bible's work. As much as he wanted to take a day off and chase after Build, he was just too busy with work. But he made sure that he would still be able to know the truth by asking his manager for a free time to meet and talk to Apo. That's why here they are.
"I'm sure you're aware about what's happening right now right? The issue is still there. Explains the reason why you two could still not be able to meet each other in public to avoid any further complications." Apo said.
But even tho how much Apo tries his best to word it out, Bible still couldn't understand anything at all. How is this related to Build breaking up with him?
The older probably noticed his still confused look that's why Apo couldn't take another second and decided to flick his forehead lightly. But Bible still grunted because it was a little too hard.
"He don't wanna inflict hate on you any further. Because as long as you're associated with him, he thinks that you would constantly receive hate no matter what. And he don't want that. You know that man, Bible. He's selfless as it is but sometimes, he's also dumb." Apo said and as much as Bible doesn't want to agree with what the older said, he still couldn't help but to chuckle before shaking his head.
He couldn't believe it.
So he's breaking up with me because he don't wanna fuel the hate that I've been receiving these past couple of months after what happened?
That silly man...always thinking of everyone else but himself.
"The heck are you smiling? Aren't you worried? What are your plans now? Would you agree with the break up thingy?" Apo asked.
Bible quickly shook his head before looking at the older sharply making Apo's mouth agape in shock.
"The hell? You really have the audacity to glare at me after I helped you?! Wanna die?!" Apo hissed but Bible just laugh it off.
They are in that situation when the waiter finally delivered their order. It was Apo's treat so Bible thanked him for that. They both went silent for a couple of minutes as they enjoyed every sip of their coffee.
But after some time, it was Apo who finally breaks the silence after quite a while.
"So what's your plan?" Apo asked once again when he didn't managed to get an answer from his question a moment ago.
Bible leaned against the chair before crossing his arms over his chest. "What do you think?" He asked, challenging the older.
Apo snickered before wetting his lips with his tongue. "Well, knowing you mister Sumett, I doubt you would let my friend free from you." Apo said and Bible couldn't help but chuckle in agreement.
The older is right. He won't agree with the break up thing. He's not that dumb to let Build slip away from his hold.
He didn't exert an effort into courting him, and he didn't went through hell to get Build's parent's and sibling's approval just to let go of the older in the end. He's not that stupid to let go of his summer.
He doesn't care anymore even if the whole world would hate him for chosing Build. To hell with them. They're not the one who can give him the peace and love he wanted.
He would always choose to be with Build among anything else.
The only person that matters to him is Build and Build alone.
He doesn't care if this decision of his would cause him to lose his career because honestly, what's the point of fulfilling his dreams when the only person whom he wants to achieve it with won't be with him in his future?
Being an actor is just a dream of his. But Build? He is his whole damn future.
So he'll choose to give up his dream rather than to give up his future.
They've been through a lot already.
This thing that's happening to them, this is nothing compared to what he can imagine his future would look like without Build in it.
He would rather choose to be in pain with Build and to struggle together with him than having a comfortable life away from his comfort.
Cause what would life be without Build in it?
"I gotta go now. Still got something to do. Would be okay here? You still got..." Apo trailed off before looking at his wrist watch to check for the time before looking back at him. "Ten minutes. Yeah?"
Bible nodded his head as an answer.
"Well then, I'll be heading first. Just do what you think is the right thing to do. You always have my support man. Good luck." Apo said before offering him a fistbomb which Bible gladly accepted.
The older went on his way while Bible decided to stay in the coffee shop to spend his remaining ten minutes before his photo shoot starts.
Being with Build was never easy. They both experienced a lot of things together. But looking back, Bible will still proudly say that everything was worth it.
All those pain...it was all worth it because it lead him to Build; his comfort. His forever safety. And if he were to choose, he would choose to be in pain over and over again if it means being with Build.
As crazy as it may sound for others but...
Bible doesn't want anyone else.
If it's not Build then he don't want it.
The moment he laid his eyes at the older during that casting for one of the series they made together, he already knew Build would be a big part of his future—oh, no, scratch that. The moment he saw Build in those blond highlights during the casting, he already knew he would be his damn future.
How I wish he was aware of how much I love him. How I don't want anyone else but him.
It's you that I wanted, Build.
Just you...
