After (Love in the Air)

In my darkest nights, will you be there (3)

Phayu wanted his lunch break so fucking bad. He'd never had any real issue with this client but she was just so flirty, not to mention haughty, but she represented a big Korean company so it was to be expected. It had been a few months since an idol had been in Thailand so he hadn't had to deal with them for a while. Still he was grateful to P'Chai for directing them his way, especially because before Young Mi became their Thai representative it had been fine.

Now he was leaning over the car engine when he could have been having lunch with Rain because the car was in much worse shape than he'd been informed. Suddenly he felt a hand snake up his back. Quickly he jerked around.

"Oh Oppa Phayu, did I scare you? I am sorry" she cooed, reaching out and resting her perfectly manicured hand on Phayu's arm. Again, Phayu stepped back, ignoring her apology.

"Are you almost done?" she asked

"Not quite, this one is having exhaust system problems that might take a few extra hours"

"Oh that's a shame"

"Mhm" Phayu muttered as he offered a weak smile. "I am going to take my lunch break now"

"Oh? Maybe we could grab something together, I don't know too many good places..."

"Sorry, I promised to have lunch with my boyfriend"

"Boyfriend?"

"Yes but everything else seems up to date, once I have lunch i will ensure that is all sorted"

Then he heard the rustle of fabric as none other than Rain rounded the corner. A smile found its way onto Phayu's face as he took in his boyfriend. But then suddenly, everything seemed to go cold. Rain froze, his face dropping. To Phayu's confusion a smile spread across Young Mi's face.

"Hello Noeul darling, long time no see"

-

After that it was like everything went in slow motion. Rain's face fell as his body froze.

"No" he muttered, "nononononono"

"No hello? How rude Noeullie"

"H-how?"

"I always told you I was destined for more, actually hoped I run into you but I see you've found yourself a new man, you little slut"

Rain whimpered softly

Phayu sprung into action

"What the fuck did you just say?" he said turning on her

"Oh come now, don't get mad. You know what he's like, the little leech"

"Out"

"What?"

"Get the fuck out of my shop" Phayu growled, moving in front of Rain

"Lighten up-"

"No, you are going to leave right now or I am going to call the cops. Your choice"

"What about the cars?" she asked, horrified

"I will charge your company for them and I will deal with it later but you are not to come back. Ever"

"You're making a mistake"

"Out"

"You'll regret this"

"I said out"

"Bye darling" she teased, blowing a kiss at Rain, before picking up her bag and strutting out the building. Quickly, Phayu turned around to face Rain. His boyfriend's face was deathly pale and his body shook with each rapid breath. Phayu tried to meet his unfocused eyes but they were trained on the ground.

"Rain, baby"

Nothing

"Rain, you're safe"

"D-don't p-please"

"Don't what baby?"

"I'm s-sorry"

"Hey you have nothing to be sorry for"

"D-don't go"

"I'm not going anywhere"

"Don't l-leave" he muttered quietly before going limp in Phayu's arms.
