Love and Loyalty COMPLETED (Love in the Air / Kinnporsche/Tharntype)

Chapter 20

Before seeing the evidences provided by Ple, Payu did his best to deny his growing feelings for Rain, he didn't want to acknowledge them, he didn't want to be disloyal to a man that seemed to in love with him, but now... now that he knew that Som was nothing more than a cheater, Payu wasn't going to ignore those feelings any longer.

"Rain, do you have a moment?" Payu asked with a subtle sense of pride. Rain didn't notice that and simply followed him to a more private area of the mansion. Payu closed the door, took a deep breath and looked at Rain with an almost unnoticeable smirk on his face.

"Rain, I really care about you and I think you deserve to know the truth" Payu started, he led Rain to an armchair and signaled him to sit down. Rain did that and looked at the other guy with growing concern. That evident expression on Rain's face only made Payu enjoy the moment even more. He knew that it was going to be painful for Rain, but he also knew the greater joy around the corner.

"I've talked with Ple yesterday, and I must admit that I was greatly disappointed by her confession. She doesn't love you, Rain, she's never loved you. You're her second choice simply because she can't accept that I will never reciprocate her feeling" Payu said.

Rain's heart sank into despair. He wasn't really surprised, it was rather obvious that Ple would have chosen Payu if she had the opportunity to do so. What really shocked him was Payu revealing that. The same Payu that just the day before tried so hard to convince Rain to stay with Ple, now was giving the final blow to their already frail relationship.

That wasn't all though. Rain now noticed the evident pride in Payu's tone and expression, he felt like Payu was feeling great after finally showing Rain the truth. He felt like Payu, wanting to show off how desirable he was compared to the useless Rain, couldn't help but laugh at his miserable situation. He couldn't accept it, he had to fight back.

"You like it, don't you? Do you feel better now that you've shown your true face? You couldn't wait anymore, you feel great now that you can prove that I'm nothing compared to you, right!?" Rain shouted. Payu's expression changed immediately, he went from almost mischievous to clearly preoccupied. He rushed to him and held his hands.

"Rain, don't you understand? I'm telling you this because I don't want you to be hurt anymore! Now that you know that Ple doesn't like you, you can break up with her! You can move on!"

"So I should even thank you for destroying my last hope!? I hope Som makes you feel as useless as I always feel, maybe you will finally understand what it feels like to be me" Rain added, he pushed Payu away and left him in that room alone.
