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

Chapter 29

"It is time to leave. Payu, I want you to know that you have all the time you want to take your decision. You can call me when you're ready, ok?" Som added as he reached the door of the mansion. Payu was still so shocked by the sudden twist of the situation, that he simply thanked him for being so calm and considerate despite the situation, then Som left.

"You know we're here by your side, Venice" Pete said as he tried to get closer to his son, but as he was about to reach Payu's head with his hand, Payu rapidly moved and took his car keys, saying that he had to meet a person before telling Som his final decision. Vegas, who heard that from a distance, he quickly understood that his son was most probably talking about Rain, who surely deserved to know how the situation evolved.

"I didn't expect to see you back so soon, did you forget anything here?" Rain asked chuckling as he opened the door for Payu. His smile disappeared immediately after noticing how depressed Payu looked. He let him in, closed the door and came closer to him.

"What happened?" Rain asked confused.

"I met Som, he came here just to talk to me..." Payu started.

"Really? He showed up even after doing that to you? I can't believe it..."

"He did nothing..." Payu continued.

"How can you say that? You were the one who told me about the video!" Rain exclaimed. Payu took a deep breath, then he put a hand on Rain's shoulder and pressed gently to make him sit down near the table, then Payu sat down as well. He remained silent for a minute, making Rain not only confused, but even preoccupied.

"Som came here because he had an extended version of the video. You remember when I told you that the video finished with Mark kissing Som... well, apparently that wasn't the actual ending. Mark kissed Som, but then Som slapped Mark and rejected him in front of the whole market. Ple cut that part on purpose, so that I would break up with Som and who knows... she probably thought that I would have dated her after a while..." Payu explained.

"Wait... so you're saying that..."

"Exactly, that Som was loyal to me and that I'm the actual cheater in the relationship. He also knows that we had..." Payu interrupted him.

"No... what did he say after that? It must have been... terrible..." Rain replied.

"Yes, terrible, for both of us. He was indeed very sad to hear that I cheated on him with you, but he didn't seem angry... he's actually willing to forgive me. He said that he still wants to be my boyfriend, but that the choice is up to me..."

Rain looked at Payu with wide eyes. He knew Som a little bit, but surely he didn't expect him to have the emotional strength needed for such an act.

"And.... And what are you going to do about it?"

"I think I will have to tell him that we can't date anymore, he will suffer... but at least he may be able to move on after a while. However, I deemed more important to inform you first, before telling Som how I want to handle our relationship"
