K & Br (LS)

Chapter 31

Koh called his younger brother to come back and talk to his father. Gap accepted the word and hurried back home. Upon returning home Gap went up to his father who was sitting on the second floor of the house talking to his eldest brother. But soon, Koh's father walked downstairs. Koh didn't dare to ask anything. He helped close the shop and then went up to his room.

Entering the room, Coco found his cell phone ringing cause he didn't take it downstairs while working at the shop. When taking a look, he saw that it was Brown's number. Koh was a little hesitant because the previous matter was still whirling in his mind. But after contemplating for a while, he pressed to answer the call.

📞"What's up, brother? " Koh asked after receiving the call.

📞(“What are you doing? Why didn't you answer the call earlier?” ) Brown's voice rang out.

📞“I was helping Dad with the shop work. I didn't carry my phone with me, " Koh replied in a sluggish voice.

📞(“What's wrong? Are you very tired?”) Brown asked back when he felt his lover's weak voice.

📞"A little bit, uh... Brother..." Koh called his lover in a faint voice making Brown at the end of the line feel a little worried too.

📞(“What's wrong, Do you want me to come find you?”) Brown asked. He's at his condo cause it was already too late when he finished talking to the teacher. Then he had to run some errands for the teacher too. So he didn't go to meet his lover.

📞“No need, brother. It's not convenient today. Gap already knows that Dad can't accept us. So he had an argument with him this morning, ” Koh told his lover.

📞 (“Really? How is he? How is Dad?”) Brown asked back, sounding a little stressed.

📞" It's just a fight. But Gap came to apologize to Dad but Dad is still a little upset,” Koh summarised the overall situation. Brown let out a deep breath.

📞(“Damn Gap! This will make matters even more difficult," ) Brown complained not so seriously. Koh remained quiet for a while. He wanted to ask his lover about what he saw that day but then he also hoped for Brown to be the one to tell him by himself.

📞"Brother, can we talk later? I'm very tired. I want to take a shower and go to sleep," Koh cut him off.

📞(“Um, I just wanted to hear your voice, so l called you. Take a rest, do you want me to pick you up tomorrow?”) Brown asked back.

📞“No need, brother. I'd better go by myself,” Koh replied in a normal tone.

📞("Okay, see you tomorrow,") Brown said before hanging up. Koh sat and looked at the mobile phone with an awkward expression and an uneasy feeling in his heart. He didn't know what to do. Although Bam turned to support him. But it didn't help Koh feel much encouraged.

“Sigh, why do I have to love you, Brother Brown?” Koh mumbled to himself softly before getting up to take a shower and getting ready for bed.

“Today you came alone again. Did you have a fight with Brother Brown?" Tim asked curiously when he saw his friend driving to the university by himself.

“I didn't quarrel. Yesterday we had a normal talk, you see," Koh replied before sitting down next to his friend.

“But your face is like a mess. Is there anything else that makes you uncomfortable? If there is anything, just talk to each other and set your understanding, " Tim asked again. Yesterday Koh only told him that his relations are a little better with Brown's younger sister Bam. But he didn't tell him all the details. Koh looked at Tim's face hesitantly before deciding to tell him the story of his father and Brown's mother including the story of Brown's mother trying to be a matchmaker for her son.
