*⚠️ angst ahead
"I want to go to the safehouse." Dunk says quietly.
"We can... but Phu and Gem-" Dunk's eyes widen at his brothers' name. He had forgotten about them as he battled the turmoil within. How could he had forgotten about his brothers?!
"Hey, hey... they are fine. They are with Paaw Charn and Paaw Tinn. They are just worried about you." Joong closely familiar with Dunk's thought process by now. He sees the relief set in his eyes.
"Let's watch a movie downstairs, I'll get some food ready. You haven't eaten today, have you?" Dunk shook his head. Joong supported him on his way downstairs.
Dunk battles within himself as he feels his depression lurking at the edge. He knows he can't afford to breakdown, not at home, not with Phuwin or Gemini this close.
"Hia" Phuwin calls out to him, breaking his thought cycle. He sees them seated on the floor holding on to his knees. He looks into their eyes unable to say a word as the heavy feeling sets in his chest. His uncle's words haunt him. Would his parents really be disappointed in him? Has he really failed them as a brother? He touches their face as he wonders.
"Sometimes I think that both of you could do so much better without me... Perhaps I was too selfish to hold on to you. I'm holding you back. Paaw Mae would be disappointed in me." Tears roll down his check.
"No! You're the best brother anyone could ask for! You've sacrificed so much for us..." Phuwin sobs as he hugs Dunk.
"Paaw Mae would be proud of us, Hia. They are proud of us! We're proud to call you our brother." Gemini squeezes Dunk's knee, hoping to convince him of the fact he knows deep within his heart.
Dunk stroked their hair to comfort them but their words fall to deaf ears as his depression takes over.
