A/N
Sorry for the late update. I was busy with festival preparations and my tests so it took a bit of time to complete this chapter. It came out longer than I thought. The next update will be soon so stay put! We are in the last stage of the story! Enjoy!

**************************************

Previously...

Ohm told Perth what had happened after they left.

Perth gently wiped Ohm's tears away and made him lie down with Ohm's head in his lap and stroked his head gently.

Chimon: What happened Non??

He stroked his back gently.

Nanon broke into tears and hugged Chimon. Chimon patted his head trying to calm him down.

Nanon told Chimon everything.

In the Kirdpan house...

Perth: So that happened huh...?

Perth gently stroked Ohm's hair to comfort him.

Ohm was staring at the ceiling. Tears welled up in his eyes.

Ohm: P'....?

Perth: Yes?

Ohm: You and P'Chim...are also in a similar situation...aren't you...? Then has P'Chim ever asked you what you'd do if your wife comes back one day...?

Perth smiled at Ohm.

Perth: Well I can say for sure that my wife isn't coming back but yes...we did have that kind of conversation...back at the villa...

Ohm: Did he ask you if he was a rebound?

Perth: Ohm...

Ohm: Please just answer me, P'...

Perth: No...he never asked that...

Ohm smiled sadly.

Ohm: Of course, he didn't...because he trusts you...he is sure that you know what you are feeling...but Non...

Tears rolled down his eyes.

Perth: Ohm...look...from what you told me...I think, Non is feeling insecure. It's not that he doesn't trust you...it's just that he isn't able to shake the feeling of his fear of losing you to Dew. Because Dew is someone that you loved. And what's more, it was never dealt with. You didn't break up with Dew...he died...or at least you thought so...you still loved him when that happened...I think that's what is making Non act this insecure. And while talking to Dew, you didn't make anything clear. Nanon wasn't supposed to hear that. But he did. And that made him even more uncertain.

Ohm: ...but...I...I don't know...I can't say what I felt when I saw Dew...but I am sure it wasn't love...he was my friend before we started dating...I was confused, angry and scared all at the same time...but when he pressed me like that...I couldn't say anything...what I do know for sure is that I love Nanon...but I can't just forget the past...it was so painful...

Perth smiled.

Perth: See? It's not that hard. Now you know one thing. You'll figure out the rest too...Calm down and think about it. Talk with Nanon...and it's not about forgetting the past, Ohm...it's about healing and moving forward. Sometimes, the wounds don't completely heal, but with the right person by your side, the pain becomes more bearable.
