Our Love

Misery Loves Company

Ruj woke up and it was already afternoon. He saw Khom sitting in a chair in his room, and he couldn't remember why he was there. He wondered, was he injured. "Khom, what happened?" "You don't remember anything from last night?" "Was I injured, I don't feel injured, but how come I slept so late?" "No, you were not injured, but you have to fix a hole in your living room wall." Ruj just stared at Khom like he was talking gibberish. "What do you mean there is a hole in my living room." "Oh, I guess you don't remember punching a hole in the wall next to Krit's head. You had him so scared, he was afraid to move off the wall" Ruj looked at Khom with eyes asking if he was joking. "You are joking right?" "Do I look like I am joking?" "Shit, is Krit alright?" "Yes, Krit is fine. Kamol had him sleep in the guardhouse last night. He should be waking up about right now too." "Oh, and you owe an apology to Lop" "What did I do to Lop?" "You yelled at him and told him to get out. Sophia whipped up an organic drink for all three of you, so you would sleep. We had no idea would knock you guys out for so long." "Khom, I am sorry. I don't remember any of this." Khom had a feeling that Ruj remembered, and hoped it was a dream. Khom actually felt bad for him because he knew guilt would eat at him if he actually hurt either Lop or Krit. "Kamol wants to see you in his office when you are awake and functional again." After Khom said that he left the house and started to walk towards the guardhouse to see if Krit could explain what the hell happened last night.

Khom steps into the guardhouse and Day just looks at him. "Khom, what the hell happened?" "Ruj's jealousy went into overdrive last night." "I can't believe Kamol is letting this go on." "Day, we work for him, he doesn't control our lives. You should know that." "I do know that, but now we have 3 guards down, and 3 guards guarding the guards. So, who is guarding Kamol?" Khom thought about it for a minute and sighed before going downstairs to see Krit. Day noticed that Khom didn't have anything to say and figured he agreed with him. Khom stepped into the room where Krit was. "Krit, you want to give me your version of what happened last night?" "Ruj lost it. Honest, besides what he told me when he punched the wall, I don't know." "Why was Lop there last night?" "He came when heard I was in trouble." "And you thought making out with him when Ruj was in that type of mood was a good idea?" "I didn't think." Day was just listening to Khom and Krit talking, but even he knew this was wrong. So, of course he had to put his two cents into the conversation. "Krit, that was the dumbest thing you could have done." "Day, I know that now and I am sorry." Khom left mumbling under his breath. His next stop was to visit Lop and Liam.

Khom made it to Liams house. Liam and Lop were eating lunch. Khom noticed the bottle of water wasn't touched. He looked at Liam like he was asking a question. He got his answer. "Lop cried himself to sleep last night. You want to tell me what is going on?" "Liam, I am trying to figure it out myself as Kamol wants answers. Lop, can you tell us what happened last night?"

Lop: I overheard Day saying that Krit got hurt and he was going to look for Ruj.

Khom: Yeah, I texted and told him that.

Lop: I ran over to the house to see how Lop was. I went upstairs and knocked on his room door. When he answered, he just pulled me into a hug and acted like he was going to start crying. Next thing I know, we are in what used to be my room making out on the wall. Then Ruj shows up, grabs Krit, tosses him on the bed, and yells at me to get out. I didn't stick around and ran out of the house. I actually bumped into Day on my way out. I ran straight here.

Liam: I contacted Kamol when Lop wouldn't stop crying.

Khom rubbed Lop on the head and told him it was alright. The poor kid looked awful. Khom couldn't help himself from asking. "Lop, what is your relationship with Liam" Liam looked at Khom then at Lop. He was wondering how he got brought into this crazy, doomed relationship. "He is my big brother." "Lop, I am glad to hear that. You didn't do anything wrong last night. Just remember that." Khom once again rubbed Lop's head and went to the door. Liam walked him out and then asked him. "Khom, what the hell was that all about? I treat Lop like a younger brother." "Ruj is jealous of your relationship with Lop. I guess Lop has been talking about you a lot lately." "Good grief. I knew Ruj was possessive, but I would never, he should know that." "I know. I just wanted to get information before giving Kamol my report. He is trying to keep this from Evan." "Want my opinion." "Yeah" "Ruj needs a break." "I feel the same way." With that, Khom started walking towards the mansion. On his way, Day joins him. "I put the regular guards on duty. I think they know something is up with you guys." "Oh well, it can't be helped. Did you tell Krit to stay in the guardhouse?" "Yeah. He wasn't happy about it, but I told him he needed to monitor the cameras." "Day, you amaze me. Let's go talk to Kamol."
