The Boy Next World ( ENG ) [UNEDITED ERRORS AHEAD!]

Chapter 20: Phi has to go back

Phugun remains silent as he places the offerings, but his eyes are red as is his nose. The taller boy helps the younger one by passing things to him.

When everything is ready, the Nong sits in front of his father's portrait while smoke rises from the incense burner. That fragile appearance of Nong makes Cir want to take him into his arms and hug him tightly. He would like to tell him that everything is fine, that he has him now.

"Can Phu have a chat with his dad alone?"

Cir nods and then stands up.

"I'll wait in the garden."

The last scene Cir sees before leaving the room is Phugun's heartbroken face.

Phugun takes his father's portrait into his arms and rests his chin on the frame.

"Dad, what should Phu do?"

Cir closes the door, even though he really wants to be with Phugun, he knows that this is a moment that Phugun places a lot of importance on.

Phugun loves his parents very much, even if he doesn't understand how it feels, because all he saw was the endless argument between his father and mother. He's been abandoned, hurt, and so he doesn't understand the unique bond between each child and parent, but he's falling in love with that someone...so he understands him.

In the last five years, there isn't a day that he haven't loved Phugun. He loves him from the first day they met, and this love remains to this day.

If he hadn't met Phugun that day, today he might be an emotionless machine, he would only know how to follow that woman's orders, he might not even understand the feeling of protecting someone and loving someone.

This boy made him understand the reason why he lives in this world. He was born to love Phugun.

Ding!

At that moment, his cell phone rings.

Cir takes the phone, but only gives it a glance. It's not a big deal, it's not his or Phugun's brother's business. He puts the phone back in his pocket

[You gave my Line to Phugun's friend, right?]

[Asshole!]

[This is so annoying, you idiot!]

[That guy is tormenting me with Line!]

[Damn!]

The notification continues to ring, Cir sighs and turns on Do Not Disturb mode and puts his phone in his bag.

He doesn't know how long he sat here, until Phugun steps in front of him.

"P'Cir, are you hungry? Phu finished paying to dad. Let's go eat together?"

Phugun's beautiful face still has traces of tears. Even though he tries to hide it, his red eyes, nose and sad eyes can still be seen.

Cir just wants to touch Phu's head and rub his cheeks, but he slowly gets up, nodded, and then followed Nong and entered the house again.

Phugun has already taken most of the things to the kitchen, leaving only the carrot cake and the bouquet in front of his father's portrait.

Ring Ring Ring!

"Wait a minute, Phu's mom is calling."

The Nong turns towards him, then walks towards the second floor, but whoever looks at him clearly notices that his eyes are full of tears again. Phugun maybe doesn't want me to see him cry. He decides to get closer.

"Hi, uncle, I haven't introduced myself yet."

The young man says to the photo. Even if it's just a photo, he admires the smiling man in front of him. This man taught Phugun to be intelligent, optimistic, understanding. Phugun is a fighter who will fight for others as well as himself. He respects the person in the photo, more than his biological father.
