Double Take

Chapter 29: Do you like him?

After Bright talking to Win few days ago about his brother and Mix, he talks to Mix again. He asks Mix to drink with him, just two of them. Only when you get drunk, you will be honest to yourself.

Bright remembers when they drink together, Bright asks what's Mix feels about his brother and Mix surprisingly crying at that moment.

"I like him. He make me feels saved, loved and cared but I'm not sure of myself. Should I stop seeing him? Should I stop this feeling? But he did really change right?" Mix was drunk when he said this.

Bright had told Mix about Earth likes to sleep around before. He feels pity towards his friend. But if Mix really loves Earth, the only way he can help his friend is to remind Earth and make sure Earth is serious about this.

"Do you really like him?" Bright asks again.

Mix nodded his head.

"If you like him, then why you didn't tell him?"

Mix didn't answer.

"Is it because of me?"

When his friend kept silent Bright sighed out.

"Look, I'm not hating you having relationship with my brother but I afraid you will get hurt." Bright explains.

Mix looked at him and he cries again. Bright thought drunk Mix was quite hilarious. He wanted to laugh but holding it back.

"I thought you will hate me if I date your brother." Mix continues his cries.

"Why would I hate you? If the person I need to get angry or hate it is my brother. I will never get angry or hate you." Bright replied.

"Don't hate or angry at him." Mix said.

"Now you even defend him in front of me." Bright rolled his eyes.

"I'm not defending him though." Mix pouts and looked away.

Aish.. Bright thought for awhile before said, "If you love him, I will not interferee. In fact, Earth actually is a good brother. He is hardworking and responsible when come to work. We are always figthing like this since childhood. It maybe because we are only 1 year apart. The only minus he got from me is I don't like he sleep around but I'm not hating him."

Mix listen attentively before he suddenly burst out into laughing.

Bright gave him a look. What's with his friend?

Mix suddenly said with his drunk slurr tones, "Then your minus point from P'Earth probably those time when you wandered around, aimlessly."

"Ai'Mix!! Now I hate both of you!"

Bright shakes his head remembering his conversation with Mix before. He could see that his brother changed a lot. He really hope Earth changed for good and take good care of his friend.

...

Bright parked his car and walked to the Win's cafe. From a distance he can see his lover is surrounded by few girls and also boys. He fasten his step and stops next to Win.

Win turns his head and asks,
"You already here?"

Bright doesn't answer. He instead looking at the group of girl and boy around, looking at him with a curiosity have on their face.

One of the girl asks, "P'Win, who is this?"

Win smiles and says, "He is-"

"His boyfriend. I'm his lover." Bright cut Win off.
