Side By Side

•9•

Sunday came in a blink. Win checked his belongings again, the door bell rang. He looked at the wall clock it was 5 pm, and he took his luggage. He opened the door, to see a tall figure in simple clothes. Unusual. The boss was standing wearing baggy clothes which was looking perfect. Win shrugged off his thoughts immediately, locking the door.

"How am I looking?" He heard the voice from behind. Win sighed, he turned around "Good"

Bright pouted "Only?" Win rolled his eyes, he rolled his luggage forward. Bright jogged behind him towards his car.

Both adjusted their seatbelts, the wheels rolled down the street. Bright turned on the music.

My stupid heart.

🎶

My stupid heart
Don't know, I've tried to let you go
So many times before
Then wound up at your door
My stupid
Can't believe that I haven't figured out by now
Every time I call you up
All you do is let me down
Should have known there was nothing about us I could change
Every time we try to be friends it always ends the same
But when I try to remember
All the pain that we've been through
Something in me says "Whatever"
And it brings me back to you
My stupid heart
Don't know, I've tried to let you go
So many times before
Then wound up at your door
My stupid heart
Too late, already on my way
If we go down in flames
Again then you can blame my stupid heart (oh shit, okay)
You can blame my stupid heart (oh shit, okay)
You can blame my stupid
Every now and then I get inside of my head
Try to leave your text on read
But I wind up here instead
I should have bit my tongue while we were still ahead
I always had to be right
'Til we had nothing left
But when I try to remember
All the pain that we've been through
Something in me says "Whatever"
And it brings me back to you
My stupid heart
Don't know, I've tried to let you go
So many times before
Then wound up at your door
My stupid heart
Too late, already on my way
If we go down in flames
Again then you can blame my stupid heart (oh shit, okay)
You can blame my stupid heart
I've tried to let you go (oh shit)
So many times before (okay)
You can blame my stupid
Too late, already on my way (oh shit)
If we go down in flames
Again then you can blame my stupid heart
Too late, already on my way
If we go down in flames
Again then you can blame my stupid heart

Win was blushing the whole time, but still didn't look at Bright, who was vibing with the love songs blasting inside the car.

Suddenly advertising popped up. Bright stopped singing

"Hey... Stop your blabbering.. Start the song"

Another song started playing. It was a sad song. Win stiffened, Bright looked at Win, then front then again at him then at the music system.

"Hey hey stop spilling your sadness here" He pressed the stop button.

"I don't understand why people become sad, have a life dude. Life is short, you should enjoy it, dance, sing, laugh as much as you can" He said while looking in front. He glanced at Win,

"Now see if someone sits beside me with a gloomy face, I won't accept it."

Win raised his eyebrow and gave him a side eye expression.

"No no no, I'm not talking about you." He nervously chuckled. Win rolled his eyes.

Soon they reached the airport. Both were guided towards the private jet department. Win looked at the other side, he was confused why they were walking the other side of the airport. Bright saw Win walking slowly, his movement halted too.

"What happened Bella?"

Win sighed. "Why are we going there? Isn't our line over there?" He pointed at the queue. Bright laughed

"We're going by private jet bella, not a public plane" He said. Win expression became dull. He got it. He walked away from Bright. Bright got nervous and ran to him and held his arm.

"Bella.. Uh.. Do you want to go with other people?" Bright asked. Win didn't answer, he saw guards were staring at them making him nervous.

"Bella?"

"Can you please stop asking me questions, let's go fast" Win hissed. Bright blinked, he nodded and guided Win to the plane.

12 hours, 53 mins later the plane landed. Both of them step down from the plane. Win was feeling tired, he never had a long journey before. When Bright noticed it, he immediately called his members to arrange a car.

In a blink, they reached the hotel. The receptionist showed them their respective rooms.

"Win, you go inside I'm coming" Bright said. Win frowned, but he ignored him and slumped on the bed after entering his room. He was so tired, his eyes were droopy, muscles gave up as soon as he hit his chest on the soft bed sheet.

He fell asleep. Win groaned, he twisted his body flipped his position, he looked at the ceiling it was beautiful. Then he remembered he was in a hotel. He sprung up looked here and there. He sighed.

He walked to his luggage but it was empty, he looked around the room, opened the drawers, then looked at the wardrobe where the clothes were stacked neatly. He touched his fabrics

Why are you doing this? You never did it before.

Win closed his eyes, his mind flashed those past days, his eyes almost welled up but gladly someone knocked on the door. He's eyes shot open, he wiped his eyelashes and went to open the door.

He was shocked to see Bright standing. Bright looked up tilted his head right and smiled.

"Had a good sleep bella?"

Win gulped, he looked away. "Um, be ready we have to meet Mr. Liam. He'll be here within 15 minutes" Bright informed him. Win nodded he was about to close the door, but Bright put his palm on the door, Win looked at him frowning

"Don't dress up too well please bella"

Win raised his eyebrow. Bright blushed "I mean dress casually" He smiled.

Win's anger spiked up when those words resonated in his ears. He glared at Bright whose smile gradually fading seeing the angry male.

"No need to command me how to dress or not, if I wear something different it's my choice, if I go naked it's still my choice. Don't you dare to order me, I'm not your servant. Stay in your limits and further don't dare to touch my clothes Mr. Chivaree the outcomes won't be good then" Win warned him and slammed the door.

Bright's hand got twisted, the sudden cramp made his hand jerk away and he winced "ahh" He held his hand, rubbing it. He smiled sadly looking at the door

I know why you reacted like that. I respect you for that bella. I promise I won't order you anymore because..

He started walking, his tears dropped and he wiped it away, with a smile, he kept his palm on his chest

Queens don't bow, they order and the king follows

"You're my queen bella"

Bad isn't it? 🙃
