The Longest Dayz

Chapter 20: Kittichai Shinawatra

Kittichai stood silently in the doorway for a few moments listening to his friends panicked gibberish. Jiwon had nearly been sacrificed to the gods by some crazy businessman. As Jiwon yammered on, Kitt felt eyes watching him. He turned in search of the other person's gaze and locked eyes with a man that he felt was familiar in a way. The man was quite handsome with his silver hair, white fleece sweater and brown jeans, but his gaze was making him feel uncomfortable. He narrowed his eyes at the man, did the man know him? Under Kitt's intense glare the man quickly turned his attention to the window. Jiwon must've taken notice of the direction Kitt was looking as he grabbed his wrist and led him over near the silver haired man. Jiwon happily introduced him to Minseok, who seemed genuinely nice. The blonde then turned to the other man.

"This is Taehyun-ssi." Jiwon smiled at the man.

"Is he your friend?" He examined the man. He felt angry and he wasn't really sure why at that moment.

"Well not exactly, but he is friends with... Seojun, Hanwoo and Yeongsu. I just wanted to introduce everyone who I met on the train, after all we could be friends." Jiwon responded more innocently than he could comprehend.

"He's friends with Yeongsu?" He asked in a tone that came out more than a little bitter "That is surprising, I don't really see Yeongsu being friends with such a.." Kitt's breath caught in his throat as he made eye contact with Taehyun, he looked fragile. He thought better of his next words, but they still came out harsher than he intended. "How would someone like him benefit as an ally?" He practically spat the words, making Taehyun flinch. He himself didn't even understand why he was saying such harsh words.

"Kitt!?" Jiwon gasped.

Yeongsu quickly whipped around in his chair to face him.

"What the fuck?" Yeongsu glared at him. Memories flooded back to him as his two friends started to scold him, but his memories began to drown out the noise.

Flashback: The home phone rang out as Kittichai dried his hair. As it rang he casually threw the towel onto the living room floor and made his way over to answer it.

"Hello?" A few moments passed before a voice responded on the other end.

"Hey kiddo, how are you doing?" A woman asked from the other side. Kittichai smiled widely in excitement, it was his mother. He hasn't seen her for almost two years and he only got to talk to her every few months. She had gone back to Thailand to take care of her father who was sick. She had tried to call more than one time, but she had the worst possible timing. Usually calling while he was at Jiwon's house or out of the house to study. The two hour time difference was also a big factor as to why calling was a bit complicated. "How's everything been? Is your father home?" She asked.

His dad was in the military full time and lived on base as a commander; Kitt rarely got to see him since he was always on base, but since his mother was away his father always made sure to somehow show up for a short time once every month.

"No, he's not home at the moment. Why do you ask, do you need him for something?" He questioned curiously.

"I was just going to see if he would come see me." She responded with a hint of excitement.

"What do you mean, 'come see you?' Like in Thailand?" He queried.

"I will be home shortly, I'm passing the seven eleven right now." She hummed happily into the phone. "See you soon, love." She hung up before the boy could say more, he was ecstatic. He quickly changed into appropriate clothes and rushed from his house. He couldn't wait any longer and left his house to find her. He ran down the sidewalk and safely crossed some streets.
