Born to Hate

09

"What can it do, Gem?" Fourth went closer to Gemini who smirked. "Well, it can kiss my palm." Gemini turned to his back where the voice seemed to be coming from. He saw Book looking at Gemini with a frown and disappointment. "Hold," Gemini panicked and Fourth whistled away as his focus went back to the television. "Gem." "Wait, no." Book glared at Gemini who was panicking. Since when was Book protective of Fourth. Since when was Book there?! "Let's talk, Gem."

"I've been meaning to talk to you after I noticed you and Fourth at the beach." Book went straight for it and Gemini gulps. "Do you like Fourth?" Book asked cautiously. Gemini looked at Book, trying to read his mind and mood. One wrong answer may just ruin everything. "What if I said yes?" Gemini asked. "Well, I'll ask and check for your sincerity." "And if I say no?" "Then I'll ask you to stop playing him Fourth and his heart." Gemini sighed. "No, I don't." Book frowned. He felt something in him exploding and how he wishes to slap that clean cheeks of his. "In fact, I love him." Gemini added. Book's mind went blank. He had stopped thinking of a murder plan and how he would keep the body away. "Fourth is the first person I was able to feel calm and comfortable with as soon as I met him. His aura felt so gentle like the breeze by the beach. He was so calming that I felt like I was sitting by the sandy beach by myself and him next to me enjoying the water hitting the land and the birds chirping. He made my anger disappear and always seemed to be a bundle of joy. He gave me another reason to continue living and made me feel as if I was born to not hate, but protect his smile and just himself in a context. I just couldn't stop myself from running towards him. He is just like the sun and I'm just a lonely quiet plant relying and moving to wherever the sun shines. I just can't stop..." Gemini smiled as he practically indirectly confessed to Fourth. Book felt weird. He felt as if he was a mother preventing her child from marrying the love of his live and controlling him. Book's heart clenched. Gemini's words were more than sincere. His words were his heart. "Gem...I'm sorry for doubting you." Book whispered and apologised. Gemini shook his head. "I get it. Fourth is everything to you. You took care of him when he was younger and you technically watched him grow." Gemini smiled and Book teared up. Oh how time went by so fast. The male he had tutored since he was in middle school is now in university striving and being more than a human. He is the sun and Gemini is the earth orbiting him.

"My parents just said they will be coming back to Bangkok." Phuwin said as they placed their groceries into the back of Phuwin's white BMW. "Ok and?" Dunk shut the trunk and walked over to the front passenger seat. "That means I have to constantly be with them which is equivalent to the disappearance of my love life." Phuwin replied and Dunk chuckled. "Lemme repeat my words. Phuwin. Are you a CEO?" "No?" "Are you a mother of a single child?" "No? What are you questioning?" Phuwin was weirded out by Dunk's nonsensical questions. "Are you married?" "Heck I don't even have my love story yet!" "Are you in your mid 40s or 50s?" "Huh!" "Are you the parents of Phuwin Tangsakyuen?" "I AM Phuwin Tangsakyuen!" "There's your answer." Dunk said as Phuwin looked at Dunk with absolute confusion. "Phuwin, you are Phuwin. You are you. You are living in this body named Phuwin. You are not close to your jubilee year and you are still a second year student in a university." Dunk looked straight into Phuwin's eyes. Phuwin chuckled. "I didn't know you were my godmother, Dunk." Dunk chuckled. "Ok but can we go off? The car is hot and you had not switch it on." Dunk rolled his eyes and fan himself with his hands. "Well, I would if someone wasn't giving me a full on lecture."

"Ouch!" Fourth winced in pain as Dunk carefully put ointment on his back. "Endure a little. I'm almost done." Dunk said with a soft and gentle voice. Fourth whined. At the same time, Gemini and Book came back from their long talk. "Fourth?" Book walked closer to teary Fourth as Dunk applied ointment on his back. "Book, I'm trying to apply this to allow it to recover quicker." Dunk said as Book chuckled. Fourth continued whining as Dunk finally finished. Fourth awkwardly got up and was in a definite awkward position. "Instead of looking at Fourth with such eyes, help me with the cooking." Phuwin scared Gemini who was just admiring Fourth's adorable actions. "Fine, fine."

"And then impress him with flowers!" Joong suggested as Pond looked at him with disappointment. "I don't think that's enough." Pond sigh and went back to thinking. "Pond. Finding something to show your feelings sincerely is difficult. Shouldn't you be focusing on being closer to him and getting to know him more?" Joong asked and Pond groaned. "I'm so impatient! Phuwin is everything I ever needed and want. He is so perfect to me..." Joong cringed. "Ok but rushing is the worse way to get a lover." Joong said. "Trust me. Getting closer to him is more important right now than capturing his heart immediately. Show that you are a patient man who would wait for his love of his life to be prepared."

"You proved to Book that you love Fourth?" Phuwin asked Gemini who was cutting the vegetables. "How did you know?" "Well, Book seemed so much comfortable with you and him together. And his eyes were red like he had just cried." Phuwin explained while looking at his food sizzling on the pan. "That's how you knew? Damn...But yea...He felt that it was weird for me to do all those things and just wanted to clarify with me..." Gemini said and passed the chopped vegetables to Phuwin. "Take care of him." Phuwin smiled and Gemini looked away, hiding a small smile.
