CHAPTER FOURTEEN

It was dark and cold. No matter how hard he tries, Build can not see anything. He squinted his eyes to adjust his vision but he failed. He felt the softness on his back, he's laying down. He was about to get up when he felt something on his calves, a hand. His heart started to beat faster. He wanted to get up and see who was touching him but he couldn't. It feels like he was paralyzed. He tried to move his hands to stop the hands from caressing his calves but he couldn't move. Build started to panic. The coldness of the air did nothing as his body started sweating. His chest moved up and down, gasping for air. Build tried to scream but his voice was stuck on his throat. This time, he tried to move his feet. He was thinking of fighting back, maybe kicking the person below would do. But he halted. He heard clanking as he moved his feet. The chains. His heartbeat grew faster. He tried his best to scream but he failed again. Build felt sweats running down from his forehead. The hands on his calves continue moving. He gathered all his strength and forced his body to get up.

Wichapas looked up when he saw Build abruptly get up. Build fell asleep on his arms after he calmed down so Wichapas let him sleep on the couch. He went back to his paperworks and let Build sleep. But he was shocked when the latter forcely got up.

Build looked around, and seemed confused. He roamed his eyes to the unfamiliar room. When his eyes landed on the other person, sitting in his office chair and looking at him with curious eyes, he sighed. He buried his face on his palms. Trying to get his breathing back. It was just a dream. Thankfully, it was just a dream.

Build felt like the couch dipped. Wichapas sat in front of him so he looked up.

"Are you okay?" The man asked.

Build smiles. The same smile that never reached his eyes. "Yes. I'm okay."

Wichapas is not convinced. He scooted over and cupped Build's face. "From now on, I want you to tell me everything. I want to know what's going on with you and what you feel. Can you do that for me?"

Build looked him in the eyes. He started to calm down just by looking at Wichapas. His warm hands are so comfortable on his face. Build feels safe.

"I'm scared." He felt warm tears starting to form in his eyes.

Wichapas kissed his forehead, Build closed his eyes. They stayed like that for a while. Wichapas' lips never left his forehead. Build started to fully calm down. His breathing started to mimic Wichapas', slow and calm. When Wichapas felt that Build was already calm, he moved away. "I'm here. I will always be here. You don't have to be scared anymore."

The look in Wichapas' eyes captivated Build. It felt like magic. His presence, his touch, and his words have an unexplainable effect on Build. Enchanting.

"Are you a sorcerer?" Build asked.

Wichapas knotted his eyebrows, confused about what Build is talking about.

"How can you calm me down with just one forehead kiss?" Build is now smiling, dimples now visible.

Wichapas rolled his eyes. He never expected something like this in the middle of a tense situation.

"Did you just roll your eyes at me?" Build narrowed his eyes, trying to intimidate Wichapas.

Wichapas laughed. He cupped Build's face once again and dropped a kiss on his nose. "Let's have dinner."

Build jolted away. "It's evening?!"

Wichapas nods. Build immediately fetched his cellphone in his pocket. He found numerous missed calls from his father. He quickly pressed his number and called back. He waited for the call to be answered. He started biting his thumb nails but Wichapas stopped him. The man interlocked their fingers to prevent Build from biting his nails again.
