Chapter 12

"What did you just said?" Phuwin said immediately stopping his movements while looking carefully at the other boy who was now stammering for an excuse.
"I..mh..I said Phuwin didn't I?" Fourth said huffing out a nervous laugh while looking at him in return.
Phuwin straightened up by sitting on the bed.
"I mean, I get it we're pretty similar sometimes but I can't believe that you, out of everyone, could confuse us." he said jokingly, putting his shirt back on, just to be stopped by the other.
"What are you doing? Why are you putting on your clothes?" he asked looking at him confused.
The other gave him a comforting look before slipping on his shirt and sitting cross-legged in front of him.
"Because before we're fuck buddies, we're best friends and there's clearly something bothering you so neither of us would fully enjoy the evening if it goes on like this" he said taking his hands and smiling at him.
Fourth looked at him for a moment before putting his hands in his hair and letting himself go on the pillow behind him.
"I can't believe that asshole managed to ruin my sex life too!" the shorter man said in a groan, making the other boy giggle as he moved to his side.
"Come on, now tell me what our dear Norawit did to make you end up in this state" he said, and Fourth finally let everything out, beginning to explain everything he could remember about that night.
Phuwin listened attentively to his friend's whole story and then sighed slightly.
"So now how's your relationship now?" he asked just looking at him, patting his shoulder gently.
"Oh we just decided to forget everything." the other said, shrugging slightly.
Phuwin looked at him, raising an eyebrow. "I don't think you forget a damn thing Fourth." he said.
"Oh, shut up."
"No I'm not gonna shut up, I just gave up my weekend fuck because of Gemini Norawit and you can't tell me that 'you forgot everything'" he said mimicking the quotation marks for the last sentence.
"We can still fuck, you know."
"Nah, as handsome as he is, I don't want to be pictured with Gemini's face while I'm having sex" he only said.
"In my eyes you are more beautiful Nini" Fourth said moving closer to him leaving a chaste kiss on his lips.
"Yeah sure" Phuwin said rolling his eyes and kissing him back knowing full well that that was a big lie.
 
On the other side of town, however, there was Gemini who was continuing the night with his usual group of friends.
Like Fourth he would've loved to get the images of their night together out of his head but they kept haunting his mind and driving him crazy.
He had never really hated Fourth, he just felt annoyance at his presence given the way he had always treated him.
Since their first meeting at the agency, the shorter man had treated him like a nobody, even mistaking him for an assistant giving him orders.
Gemini had not grown up in a luxury life like Fourth, but rather in an ordinary provincial family that had found fortune just by him being born.
Gemini had, in fact, a beauty that people in his neighborhood were not used to, one of those beauties you see in magazines not shopping in the small supermarket under their houses.
And he was so kind to everyone.
From an early age, the teachers had always complimented his parents on the education little Gemini showed in every situation.
He was always helping his family, even by doing small jobs, so that he could afford for himself and his parents a few extra treats.
He didn't have too many friends; he had unfortunately learned that being nice to everyone often did not bring any good.
And especially that not everyone is kind as he is.
He began to have his first close friends only in middle school when he met Joong and Dunk.
It was thank to them who advised him to audition for one of Bangkok's leading modeling agencies, for which they already worked, that he discovered the world of dresses, make up and especially fame.
Gemini was not so sure about this world at first; he had never been used to being in the spotlight, often preferring to stay behind the scenes and help others out.
But it was at the exact moment when those spotlights shone on him that he felt a life force embracing him that he didn't understand at first.
It was as if he had taken nectar from the gods; he felt different, strong, beautiful.
There was not a single person who did not compliment him on every corner, on every street.
When his first photos were published, the public called him as "the new face of Thailand," and Gemini can't help but notice how much this popularity benefited to his family.
From then on they could afford many more things: a new house, a new car, trips, dinners, vacation houses.
All the things he never wanted his family to miss again.
And years later nothing had changed.
Except for his relationship with Fourth.
He had never been able to understand why the boy despised him so much but the one thing he had always promised himself was to never let his behavior get him down, his family happiness was more important than a spoiled stupid kid.
But now Fourth intrigued him so much.
They had grown up together, and Gemini had been able to notice every change in the other's soul.
But Fourth had these two personalities that attracted Gemini so much, he wanted to find out everything about him, he wanted to understand him.
Distracting him from his thoughts was a loud crash given by the glass Pond had just dropped on the floor, earning groans from the people around him.
"You're impossible Pond, I swear." Dunk said getting up from the couch where he was sitting to fetch a rag to clean up the mess.
"Come on! I did nothing! Haven't you and Chen ever spilled nothing on the floor in one of your fun training sessions?" he asked chuckling, stealing the glass from Aungpao, who made a groaning sound.
Joong got up just to give him a light slap on the back of his head before sitting back down next to Gemini.
"What happens in this house when you're not here is none of your business Naravit." he said before taking a sip from the glass in his hand, just to turn his attention to the boy next to him " Are you okay Gem? You look lost in your thoughts." he said putting a hand on the boy's shoulder.
The other boy turned to look at him slightly before sighing.
"I was just thinking...does anyone know why Nattawat always acts like he has a pole up his ass?" he said, chuckling slightly.
Joong and Pond both laughed while Aungpao gave him a confused look.
"Why do you care Gem? He's just an asshole, he has always been." the smaller one said going to sit next to the other boy, taking his arm "you shouldn't pay him any attention, he treats all of us like his slaves, who does he thinks he is?" he said leaning on Gemini's arm, pouting slightly.
The older boy laughed slightly at the smaller boy's tenderness and then shifted his attention to Pond.
"Well we all know who his mother is..." the said boy began to say "no wonder he grew up like that with such a mother" he said, shrugging.
Gemini looked at him confused.
"Why? What is his mother like?" he asked only.
Joong and Pond looked at each other before responding.
"Let's just say...she wasn't exactly a good mother...from early age she forced him to go on extreme diets and accept all kinds of shootings even those that...mh...let's say that are less consonant for a child" Joong said  scratching his head.
"And she's literally obsessed with fame, whether it's hers or her son's...I still remember when I happened to be together with them on the set for a commercials and she had started yelling at the director because her beloved Fourth had to be in the front, had to have more scenes and other such crap." continued Pond puffing out a laugh before taking a sip of his drink.
"And did they let her decide?" Gemini asked..
Pond looked at him for a second before answering, "Of course Gem, she is Raylai Nattawat, she can do whatever she wants, if she wanted she could've send away all the other models and let only her beloved child shoot the commercial."
Gemini realized at that moment how little he knew about Fourth's family, despite the fact that they had shared the fame scene many times for years.
"She even mistook Dunk for a waiter once." Joong said laughing only to see his beloved boyfriend return with a mop.
"What are you talking about?" he asked, throwing the mop at Pond to make him clean up his own mess.
"Raylai Nattawat."
"Ugh, that witch."
