[OhmNanon Mafia AU] Melting Ice

A Ray of Hope.

Ohm did not know that he was capable of anger to this extent.

He wasn't furious. He was seething.

Apparently, Perth, who had been at the office at the time with Drake, had received the call. The call was from a guy named Chimon, who Ohm assumed was the friend that often-visited Nanon at the mansion.

On the phone, Chimon had informed Perth that Nanon had been taken by some masked men at gunpoint and that two people had been injured in the ordeal, a guy called Nat, who had been shot in the shoulder and Chimon himself. Chimon had tried to defend Nanon, and that is how he had ended up with the injury. And as Chimon had been informed by the others, after that Nanon himself had walked out with the assailants to protect his friends.

Ohm did not know what to do with that piece of information.

Should he be proud? Should he be mad? He was not sure. But one thing he was definitely sure about was that he was going to kill someone. His hands were practically itching with the need.

Although, if he had to be honest with himself, the intense emotion that he was feeling was not just anger. It was also guilt. Why had he let Nanon out of his sight in the first place? If he had been able to control his anger during the heated exchange they had, and had been even a bit reasonable, a bit more Ohm Pawat, Nanon would have been sitting here with them right now. But no, he had to let his emotions take over. He had to let Ohm take over.

This also made him go back to the question that P'Earth had posed some time ago – 'Since when had he cared about anyone's opinion of him?'. If Ohm was being honest, it really was a valid question, and his Phi knew him well. Ohm had never, ever cared about such things. Even his brief sexual attachments with different people had all been about his own convenience and nothing else. But now suddenly, he was worried that this mannerless boy, whom he had almost killed once, was going to hate him if Ohm did not allow him on a trip.

This realization and the intensity of the emotions that he was feeling in his chest, led to an obvious conclusion. A conclusion that Ohm had been avoiding but had come back to slap his face.

Anyway, emotions. Since when had he felt anything but responsibility and anger? Love was not completely out of the picture, that would be a lie. Ohm felt immense love for his family, but whatever he felt around Nanon, was completely different. And clearly his approach to deal with those emotions had been wrong till now.

It had failed and it had failed miserably, doing nothing but landing Nanon in trouble. He had to change. He had to find a solution for this, but before that he had to find Nanon...and he had to get his hands on the person who was responsible for this.

Apparently, after the assailants had abandoned the bus on the middle of the highway, some of the students had rushed out to look for help, which they had found in a food joint located near the area where the bus had been abandoned.

All the students had sneakily escaped to the food joint, still fearing if they were being watched and gotten basic first aid for their injured friends. As soon as Chimon had gained some semblance consciousness, he had borrowed a phone to call Perth. After that, Perth had left on his bike to get Chimon back to the city and Drake had called Ohm. Currently, they were all at the Mansion, waiting for Perth to come back with Chimon safely.

All this could have been prevented if Heng had intervened, if he had just done the one job that Ohm had assigned to him but now, very suspiciously, there was no trace of Heng either.

"Earth where is he? He should be here by now." P'Mix's voice broke through Ohm's thoughts.

He was very worried, Ohm could see, for both Nanon and Chimon. Despite his condition, he was pacing nervously around the lobby and constantly looking between his watch and the main door.
