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

Chapter 28: A song to say goodbye

After bursting into tears, Phugun sits on the bed, staring into the distance, gently rubbing his palms on the blanket. The memory of P'Cir knocking on the door on a rainy day with lightning and thunder bursts into his mind. This makes Phugun purse his lips.

Should he be angry, sad or happy? P'Cir made up those ridiculous stories just to get closer to him. No matter how many times he thinks about it, the Nong can't find the answer.

He's more sad than angry. Why does he have to lie to him? Why can't he just approach him normally?

Phugun doesn't know if... if P'Cir hadn't told him that they were in love and that he came from a parallel way, their relationship would have been different.

But for sure, Phugun never hated P'Cir. But why? Why can't he court him honestly? Why did he... come this far? If what P'Wim said is true, if the photos in the album are not misleading, if P'Cir was in love with him five years ago and wanted to take care of him ever since, then why? Why waste so much time, why did P'Cir suddenly come knocking on his door and started these lies?

He does not know. Phugun is not ready to talk to him it's bad enough to lie to him, and this lie continued for a few months too. He deceived him with almost everything.

"No, don't talk to him, at least not now."

Once again he remembers, he opens the bedside drawer and takes out the flute.

"Dad, he lied to Phu, the person who promised to take care of Phu lied to Phu."

Like a child telling his parents that he has been mistreated by his friends, Phugun bites his lip, looks a little strange with red eyes, but insists on continuing to complain to his father.

"He told Phu that he was from a parallel world, he confused me for a long time whether I should believe him or not, but Phu eventually believed everything he said, I believed that we were together, believed that we started talking from high school, Phu was even jealous of himself in another world, and I was afraid that he would abandon Phu to find his real Phu, dad."

He had to believe what P'Wim and P'Zone said, right?

In those three days of the car accident, P'Cir only temporarily lost his memory.

"Why did not tell me? Why did you have to lie?" Phugun murmurs, lying down on the bed, holding his father's things tightly in his hands, but looking at the other pillow.

When did his bed become so wide? When did he get used to having someone sleep next to him? When did he start thinking it wasn't okay to be without P'Cir?

"Think about what you should do Phugun!"

The Nong tries to regain his thoughts, trying to tell himself that he shouldn't have tied himself to him, but... his brain is numb, his vision is blurry, he sits on the bed, biting his lips hard. Angry at P'Cir, but mostly at himself.

Phugun reaches out and opens the other drawer, takes out the last used rope cup.

It was originally used between him and the person downstairs, but since P'Cir moved out, it was hardly used anymore, so Cir put it in the drawer. Phugun looks at it silently, his angry eyes watering again.

"Liar!"

The one who normally does not get angry at others, slams the mouth of the rope cup in anger.

"You Liar!" Phugun strikes again.

"Do you think Phu is easy to fool? Do you think Phu is gullible who believes everything? Cruel! Does P'Cir have a heart of ice? Why can't you court me in a normal way? How can you lie to Phu? Do you think Phu doesn't have a brain?!"
