Breath (TulHin)

Chapter 12

Remains

“Come on, how am I supposed to apologize?”

“You must not...”

“Oh, wow, that's nice. I thought Nong would be angry.”

“Ouch, don't squeeze my cheeks!”

Inside the room, Khun Chai Tul is a little puzzled. His younger brother who wants to play with him is lying on the bed with his back towards him, so Tul had to move to squeeze the troublemaker's cheeks. The way his cheeks are squeezed makes the little one look at the other with annoying eyes, so he quickly walks away.

“Ah! Now do you dare to look at your Phi like that?”

“Huh! I will do it. Tin thinks Phi is stubborn.”

The arrogant young man is just a child in front of his older brother, and he wants to be spoiled. So his brother, who hasn't played with him for a long time, takes the video game console and puts it next to the bed.

“Hurry up, Phi.”

“Come here! Do you dare to be bold and stubborn with me? You deserve to be punished for this.”

“Ah! No... Let me go...”

The boy who rushed to get the video game is held back, screaming as he is grabbed behind the collar of his shirt. His thin body is thrown onto the bed followed by the tall figure of his older brother who looks into his bright eyes like this... He smiles.

“Ah! No... No... P'Tul... Stop it... Stop it... Hahaha...”

The younger brother rolls over in bed while screaming trying to escape, but he cannot defeat the older brother with the strength he possesses his hands are held forcefully by the older one's large hand, making the younger one scream and laugh non-stop, but he cannot escape the punishment while his brother is not satisfied.

“You dare call me stubborn?”

“No! Ha-ha-ha-ha... I can't... Breathe... ahahahah... Stop... ahahah...”

“Then say you're sorry.”

“I don't Phi... Hahaha... I give up... I give up... Ahahahah... Okay... I'm sorry... I'm sorry.”

“Remember this, you have to do right by your elders.”

“Apologize!”

With his response, the older one is happy to lower his hands as he watches the younger one lie down completely exhausted on the bed and try to regulate his breathing his face looks terrible because of this, and Tul laughs.

“P'Tul is happy that Tin is back.”

“Nonsense. I really don't believe it... It's just lies... I don't believe you at all.”

The boy who is regulating his breathing speaks while still looking angry because his brother didn't pick him up at the airport. So, the other pulls out the arm that is under the boy's head, the young half-breed puts his arm over his shoulder and pulls him towards him into a hug.

“I'm really very happy. In this house... I only have criticisms.”

The younger one stops.

“Tin only has P'Tul.”

“Don't say that, don't you have a father and mother? Grandma loved Tin too.”

“But they all sent me away. The only person who cares about Tin is P’Tul, no one else cares about TinTin!”

The thirteen year old says stubbornly because he knows that not many people love him, as the only person who shows his love for him is this older brother, making the older one smile.
