"How long are you all going to lie?" Kongpop asked while arranging the food they prepared for the dinner.

May went startled, her eyes fixed on kongpop who didn't make eye contact with her.

"What are you talking about?" When did I lie to you?"

"Stop saying my mom and aunt is alive, i know they are not!"

"Kongpop!!! Don't sa-.."

"I lost hope May," Kongpop cut her off with serious face.

"Kong, please don't do this to yourself," May told after making Kong to face her.

"I am not going to fall for that lie anymore... Maybe i am cursed... everyone is leaving me... even him.... he is gone, I trusted him" Kongpop whispered hiding his failure.

"That's why I am not allowing you to leave the forest! Your innocence and kindness are the best meals for the creature out there!" Aim chirps stepping towards them.

"He didn't hurt me... and it was my fault... I expected a lot from him," Kong mumbled with a regretful face.

"You played with death!" Aim snorted with a slap on his arms.

"I am not hungry anymore! You both carry on"

"Kongpop ..... Kong... Kong"

The said person didn't faze for their call he marched upstairs before slamming himself on the bed praying for Arthit to come back and take him.

"Kong...."

"Hmm...."

"Do you remember what your aunt suggested to us before leaving the home?"

Kong snapped his head to the side with round eyes which filled with water.

"N.. No.. we can't... I wo-.."

"Please Kong listen to me first," Aim pleaded with his sad face.

"I can't see you as my m-master Aim... I won't come with you..

Kong closed his eyes thinking of a future he will have once he accept Aim's request. Aim is a good man, his wolf too but taking someone as his master and living under their command is what kong loathes.

'I won't treat you like them Kong, you are free to do whatever you want to do.'

Kong nods his head because his friend's words are true, but will the norms allow his friend to be good. Won't it bring trouble to Aim if he treats his human special?

What will his and May family say about it? Will they accept him like his friends?

His train of doubtful thoughts got interrupted by Aim's voice.

'Don't overthink Kongpop, I know it's not an easy path, but I am ready to face our social norms'

The human sobbed at his miserable situation and how he stands without choices.

"Let's stick together.. I will find you a life soon," Aim reassured his friend before giving a hug.

Apart from nodding his head Kong has no things to do. Maybe crying which he will do a lot maybe his whole life too.

Kongpop hugged him tight with grateful words. The words may assure him but the heaviness in his heart is still choking him.

Kong's face went puffy after crying and took an improper sleep. Aim informed May about their decision which she agreed right away. May got so happy and helped on packing his things.
