Autumn is a second spring

"Noo, I know you love me as much as I do and you are not going to let anything, absolutely anything ruin what we have, right?" Ohm asked.

Fluke didn't answer that. His foolishness had already caused enough trouble to their relationship. He didn't dare to claim that he wouldn't let anything get in between them.

Noticing the silence from his boyfriend, Ohm knew what was going on inside the little guy's head. He held Fluke's hand and spoke up "Noo, I don't blame you for what happened. If someone needs to take the blame, then that person should be me." 

He pointed at himself. "Back then, I was the one who jumped to conclusions about you and initiated all the 'engagement' propaganda. If I hadn't done that Fame wouldn't have gotten the chance to reconnect with you. Nor will she would have tried to commit suicide that day right in front of your eyes.

The person who should be feeling guilty should have been me. The who should have compensated her should have been me. You just took on the responsibility on yourself on my behalf. So don't blame yourself, okay?"

"But I could have still rejected her when she asked me to be the donor for her child," Fluke muttered, hanging his head low.

"That move was indeed wrong." Ohm agreed.

Fluke clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white. He was ashamed of himself.

"A woman like Fame is not good enough to carry my Noo's baby." 

Ohm's words made Fluke stare at him in surprise.

"You don't have to give me that look. I like kids too, okay? Just that I tend to show a dislike towards them when they take all your attention away from me." Ohm said blushing in embarrassment.

"We are both men and it is impossible for us to have kids naturally. If we ever want to have kids on our own, either we have to adopt one or get a surrogate. So, I am not really concerned about the donation part." He added with a smile.

Fluke still kept mum.

Ohm put his finger beneath Fluke's chin and made the latter look at him in the eye "Noo, if you are worried that I would feel bad if you care about the baby, then you can be relieved. I am completely fine with the idea of co-parenting that child." He kissed his boyfriend's forehead. "As long as it is your child, I will love it as my own. I will love anything that is related to you."

Fluke tightly hugged Ohm as the latter finished speaking. "You don't have to do that, Phi. I have already cut ties with her. The baby... I don't have any plans on being a part of its life."

He may be kind towards others but that didn't mean that he was a complete fool. He was well aware that the pregnancy was Fame playing dirty to create trouble between him and Ohm. He had already given her a chance but she ruined everything. There was no way he was going to give her a second chance to walk all over him.

Fluke also explained about the contract he made with Fame about the baby. This made Ohm laugh out loud.

"Why are you laughing, Phi?" He asked.

"We both think the same way, don't we?" Ohm said with a smile. "On a serious note, I personally don't think that a spoiled brat like her could be a good parent to your child."

"I know, phi. That is why I made the agreement as well. If my men find that she is not treating the baby well, I can take over the child. I am sorry that I didn't ask for your permission before making such an arrangement."

"I already told you that I would welcome the baby as our child. After all, both P' Kao and Boun have their own kids with partners. We are the only ones without kids. I think it would be great to have your baby join us." Ohm said assuringly.

Fluke felt overwhelmed to hear Ohm. He was very grateful that his boyfriend was so understanding. He stood on his tippy toes and pecked Ohm on his lips.

Ohm was caught off guard by that peck. He wasn't satisfied "Come here you little imp" He grabbed Fluke's waist and pulled him closer.

The couple shared a passionate steamy kiss until Fluke felt something wet on his cheek. He pulled away and looked up to see that it was snowing.

"P' Ohm it's snowing! It's the first snow!" He jumped in excitement and we spread his arms to catch the snow falling from the sky.

Ohm watched the excitement and his smile grew wider. His Noo was finally smiling now.

"P' Ohm, do you know the superstition behind the first snow?" Fluke asked giddily.

Ohm shook his head.

"There is a superstition that if you witness the first snowfall with the person you like, true love will blossom between both and it will be long-lasting!" Fluke was bouncing on his feet in exhilaration.

Ohm flicked his boyfriend on his forehead. "You should stop watching those K-dramas all day."

"I don't watch them all day. I only watch them occasionally." Fluke said with a pout as he rubbed his forehead. He knew that his boyfriend was only teasing him.

The couple spend a little more time in the snow before heading back to Ohm's apartment.

Fluke made hot chocolate for both of them before cuddling on the couch with Ohm. "P' Ohm I have something else to say."

Ohm looked down at his boyfriend.

"Well... the next month my parents are coming back to Thailand. I heard that they will be staying there for a while. I was thinking if I could bring you back home and introduce you to them." Fluke said softly.

All these years, he hadn't openly told anyone about their relationship. Even though he was one hundred per cent sure that both his parents were aware of his relationship, officially announcing it in front of them and bringing his boyfriend to meet them was something else.

His mother had already met Ohm several times and liked the latter so much. But his father was a whole different case. He wasn't sure that his father would be very happy about his boyfriend.

"I would love to," Ohm said. He hadn't mentioned to his boyfriend that he had already met Thas at one of the international conferences and that the latter didn't seem very pleased to see him. He was worried that he would make his boyfriend feel troubled.

"Really?" 

"Of course. I have long wanted to meet them as your boyfriend."

"Then, I will talk to my Dad's secretary and P' Yoon and arrange for a family meeting according to your schedules!" Fluke was delighted. He hoped that his parents, both his mother and father would love and accept Ohm as his partner.

He didn't want Ohm to undergo the struggle that Kao was undergoing because he married Earth without Thas's permission.
