Beautiful Eyes [GeminiFourth AU]

Part 9

"Oh don't tell me you have feelings for Gem?" Por asked.

"Are you crazy? I rather punch that jerk!" Fot scoffed.

"Or maybe because he looks like Tinn?" Win asked.

"I guess that's the reason. They are identical. I barely know how to differentiate them. But there are a few attitudes of theirs that I could differentiate. Just like Gem, besides his grumpy, cranky behaviour, do you know he never ever smile? I don't think I even saw him smile, even for a bit. Also, did you know that when I brought him the coffee that I made for him, he suddenly got mad just because I was the one who brought it and I was a little close to him? What kind of stupid person is he? I just made one mistake in our first meeting and, take note, that it was all a misunderstanding, and now he is making such a big deal out of it. That's why I hate his guts whenever I see or talk to him."

Win and Por could only stare and listen to their friend.

"This is not good." Por said, looking at Win, who nodded, understanding what he meant.

"What do you mean?" Fot asked.

"If you hate his brother so much, how could you be friends with him? I know you're trying, but can you also at least try to control your anger?"

"You know that I can't control my anger, especially towards a jerk like him."

"Fot, you've come this far to know that Tinn has the same feelings for you. You're closer than ever. But what if Gem becomes the enemy and gets in between you? You said it yourself, Tinn loves his brother so much. You got to get everyone's approval while waiting for the right time to confess." Win said.

"Also, do everything now because we never know when your parents will come home. It'll be hard for you to go back there." Por added.

Fot whined. He really hates but also love it when he talks to his childhood friends because they give good advice and are always right.

"I'll give it another shot."

When school was over, Fot went home, but neither Gem nor Tinn were in the car, let alone at home. No one has arrived home yet, the maids said when he asked them. He then immediately entered his room to complete his schoolwork.

He walked upstairs to his room after dinner because he was also by himself. Since he's used to being around people, he dislikes eating by himself.

Even though it was now 12:30 in the morning, Fot was still wide awake. No matter what he does, sleep eludes him for reasons he cannot explain. Because of this, he made the decision to go outside and get some fresh air.

He heard sounds coming from the kitchen as he made his way downstairs. He began to worry that it might be a burglar. He moved cautiously all the way to the kitchen. He searched the area for objects that could be used as weapons, but he lacked the guts to take the small vases he passed because he knew how expensive they were. He simply made a fist, assuming that the intruder didn't know how to fight because he doesn't either.

He gently walked over to the kitchen and peered inside, spotting a figure inside. He didn't realise it was Tinn for a while.

Fot POV:

My hands were trembling so much I thought a burglar got in.

"Tinn!" I shouted and rushed over to his side.

I was surprised when the other was startled and spilled the hot water he was about to pour in the coffee he was making on his hand. I immediately took his hand and went to the sink to get his hand under the running water.

"Can you let go of my hand?"

Only then did I realize that it wasn't Tinn with me, but Gem.

The nerve of him? I'm already helping him, and he still has the attitude of not wanting me close to him.

But I didn't back off or let go of his hand. It was my fault anyway that his hand got burned.

It must be so painful.. his hand is so red.. and so soft.. his fingers are so pre--

Shit what?!

Damn it Fot!
