CHAPTER 14

AUTHOR'S POV

When Fourth and Phuwin arrived in the US, Pond spotted them and immediately ran towards them. Fourth anticipated a warm hug from Pond, but to his surprise, Pond went straight to Phuwin and embraced him, exclaiming, "You look even more stunning in person, baby~" Fourth playfully smacked Pond's head and jokingly scolded, "You little witch! Why don't you hug your brother first, huh??" Pond and Phuwin burst into laughter, and Pond quickly apologized for the oversight, realizing the order of greetings. The lighthearted moment brought a sense of joy and warmth to their reunion.

Upon their arrival at the house, a warm and loving welcome awaited Fourth, Phuwin, and Pond. Rose, filled with excitement, immediately embraced Fourth, exclaiming, "I missed you, P'Fourth!" Fourth smiled warmly and replied, "I missed you too, princess." Shortly after, Fourth's mom and dad approached, enveloping Fourth in a heartfelt hug, expressing their love and joy at their safe return. The atmosphere was filled with love, happiness, and a sense of homecoming.

Fourth's mom lovingly asked, "Fourth, Phuwin, are you both hungry? What would you like to eat?" Fourth replied with enthusiasm, "Anything, Mom!" His mom smiled and responded, "I'll cook your favorite dish, okay?" Fourth kissed his mom on the cheek and exclaimed, "Okay, Mae! You're the best!" Then, Fourth's mom's attention turned to Phuwin, and she looked at him with a knowing smile, saying, "Soon to be my son-in-law, what would you like to eat?" Both Pond and Phuwin blushed deeply, and Pond stammered, "H-How did you know, Mae...?" Fourth's mom rolled her eyes playfully and replied, "It's too obvious, dear." The lighthearted banter and warm atmosphere filled the room with laughter and love.

In this happy and lively environment, Fourth found a sense of joy and tranquility. The absence of problems and the abundance of love and support were beneficial for Fourth's pregnancy. The vibrant atmosphere and the caring presence of their loved ones made it easy for Fourth to momentarily forget about Gemini and the challenges they had faced. The focus shifted towards embracing the present moment and nurturing their well-being, creating a positive and nurturing environment for both Fourth and their unborn child.

Two weeks later, Phuwin received news that his mom needed him in Thailand. Understanding the importance of family, Fourth and the others supported Phuwin's decision to return home. Although they would miss him dearly, they knew it was necessary for him to be there for his mom. With mixed emotions, they bid Phuwin farewell, wishing him a safe journey and promising to stay in touch during his time away. The house felt a little quieter without Phuwin's presence, but they understood the importance of family bonds and eagerly awaited his return.

As Gemini noticed Fourth's absence and the lack of his return home, conflicting emotions stirred within him. He found himself grappling with a mix of anger and worry, unable to fully comprehend his own feelings. The uncertainty surrounding Fourth's whereabouts and well-being left Gemini feeling unsettled and anxious. Despite the tumultuous nature of their relationship, the concern for Fourth's safety and whereabouts still lingered within Gemini, creating a complex blend of emotions.

Phuwin and Fourth's dad, upon their request, went to Gemini and Fourth's house. Inside, they found Gemini casually sipping on his coffee, seemingly unperturbed by Fourth's absence. Phuwin's anger flared up as he observed Gemini's nonchalant attitude towards Fourth's well-being.

"Gemini," Fourth's dad spoke, capturing Gemini's attention. Gemini immediately turned to face them and greeted, "Hi, Dad. Good morning," bowing as a sign of respect. The conversation centered around Fourth, and Gemini displayed a hint of annoyance upon hearing Fourth's dad's words. "Gemini, don't you remember that Fourth is your husband? How could you treat him like this?" Fourth's dad expressed his disappointment. Gemini met their gaze and coldly retorted, "I don't even want to be his husband. He ruined my life." Phuwin, overcome with anger, couldn't contain himself any longer. He swiftly moved forward, delivering a punch to Gemini's face while shouting, "Your life, your decisions, they are all your responsibilities. Stop blaming others for your own misery!"

Gemini, fueled by anger, tightly gripped Phuwin's collar and retorted, "You know nothing, so stay out of it!" Phuwin, refusing to back down, matched Gemini's intensity and grabbed his collar in return. He passionately responded, "You have no idea what Fourth has been through, you psycho. You didn't even notice the changes in his body, the weekly check-ups he went for. You don't know, do you? It's because you only care about yourself. Fourth loves you deeply, but you don't even deserve them." The room filled with tension as the confrontation escalated, emotions running high between Phuwin and Gemini.

Gemini, confused by Phuwin's mention of check-ups, asked with uncertainty, "W-What check-up? Why was Fourth always at the hospital?" Phuwin, looking at Gemini with disgust, replied, "You don't deserve to know." However, Gemini persisted, insisting on knowing the truth. Amidst the escalating arguments, Fourth's dad intervened and revealed the truth, saying, "Fourth is pregnant, and you are the father." Both Phuwin and Gemini were shocked by the revelation, but Phuwin allowed Fourth's dad to continue speaking, allowing the weight of the situation to sink in.

Gemini, in disbelief, questioned, "What do you mean Fourth was pregnant? And how could I be the father? Nothing happened between us." Phuwin, interrupting with disdain, called Gemini a derogatory term, provoking his anger. However, Fourth's dad stepped in, preventing any physical confrontation, and proceeded to explain the events of the night when Gemini was intoxicated. Gemini had a sudden realization, exclaiming, "Wait... so that wasn't just a dream!? Oh my gosh, what have I done?" Overwhelmed with guilt and remorse, Gemini pleaded to know where Fourth was, expressing a desire to talk to them. Phuwin, protective of Fourth's newfound happiness, firmly replied, "We won't tell you. Fourth is happy now, and we won't let you destroy it again."

Phuwin and Fourth's dad left Gemini to grapple with his guilt, his pale expression reflecting the weight of his actions. In that moment, Gemini fully comprehended the gravity of his mistakes and the depth of his love for Fourth, a love that had been present since their high school days. He realized that his hurtful words and actions were a result of his own insecurities and shame surrounding his attraction to boys. However, this realization also brought about a newfound determination within him. Gemini understood that he could no longer repeat the same mistakes and that he needed to confront his own prejudices and learn to accept himself for who he truly was.
