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

Chapter 56

"Hi Payu, I know that I caused you a lot of troubles, but do you think you could give me one more chance to talk? It's about Som..." this message appeared on Payu's phone while he was taking a shower. Rain, who was in the living room minding his own business, instinctively turned to look at the phone as the ringtone caught his attention. He managed to read the message and then remained silent for a while, trying to figure out what kind of outcome he would have preferred.

"I really wonder if he will tell me about it..." Rain thought out loud. Payu soon came out of the shower with just a towel hanging around his waist, making Rain forget about Ple's message almost immediately. Payu got changed and then he picked his phone, scrolling through the various notifications. Rain noticed a subtle change in his boyfriend's expression after a while, probably after reading Ple's message, and this only renewed his curiosity.

"Oh... that's strange..." Payu remarked. Rain's eyes immediately got brighter with excitement, wondering if Payu was so loyal to him to actually tell him all the truth. Rain nonchalantly asked him if he received bad news, but Payu shook his head and put the phone into his pocket.

"No, I mean... no bad news but neither good. Apparently Ple wants to talk to me. Do you think I should block her number? I can't believe she still tries to contact me after what she did to me and her own brother" Payu answered.

"Didn't she say anything about her brother?" Rain asked, curious to know what Payu's answer would have been, but he realized his mistake when it was already too late. Payu opened his mouth as he was about to respond directly, but he stopped before his first word could come out. Why did Rain ask it like that?

"How do you know she talked about Som?" Payu asked, showing the first signs or irritation.

"I... I just thought that... that since she already knows that you wouldn't talk to her at all, she would have used her brother to lure you... ummm... that's all" Rain replied stuttering.

"You read it, didn't you?"

"I... I just..."

"It is a simple question, Rain, yes or no?"

"Yes... but I swear to you that I didn't mean to do so!" Rain exclaimed at the top of his lungs.

"Oh really? Then explain why you read it and why you pretended you didn't know anything about it when I mentioned her message" Payu ordered crossing his arms on his chest. Rain gulped and looked down, then he answered:

"The notification of that message appeared on your screen while you were taking a shower. I accidentally looked at it because of the sound and then I read it... I'm sorry..."

"This still doesn't explain why you didn't tell me the truth in the first place... I have chores to do now, see you later..." Payu replied and left the apartment, although Rain wasn't certain if Ple was considered one of those chores.
