Breath (TulHin)

Chapter 17

The younger brother and the servant

At first, TinTin is quite angry that his older brother didn't go out with them, but when Hin takes him to the video game store and puts as many of them into his hands as he wants, the boy's mood improves to the point that he hums softly as they enter the restaurant located in the shopping center; he also nods comfortably when the servant tells him that he is going to the bathroom and leaves him with his friend Rob.

The boy sits casually, staring with bright eyes at the items they have just bought. He wants to go home early to play, but he also wants to spend more time with his brother.

“As long as Phi finishes his meeting, he will invite me to the cinema, what film will we see?”

They are the thoughts of the little boy who is not interested in the boy sitting across the table drinking water while silently watching him, until...

“Being a boy of only thirteen, these words should not be spoken by you. Tul encouraged you to do this, didn't him”

“What does this have to do with Phi?”

The boy bends his neck a little and turns to look at him arrogantly because he doesn't like the tone in which he speaks. Rob doesn't like that he belittles people since he was little, yet compared to his older brother, this guy dares to express himself directly, he did not hide under the mask of someone who is kind. And now he wants to find out what this kid knows.

“Your being a brat.”

The teen looks up to make eye contact with the big boy's eyes and then asks out loud.

“What does this have to do with P’Tul? Regardless of what I am, he is a good brother, but what do you have to do with it?”

The boy asks in a hard and resentful voice. He is not happy with anyone who dares accuse or insult his brother. And yes, he has bad manners, but he has nothing to do with his brother.

“A good brother?”

Rob's eyes opened. He wants to laugh but he can't.

“This little boy knows nothing...He even betrayed his own brother...”

Rob shakes his head at the spoiled boy, turning his head to look away. Because Tul may seem like a good brother, but how bad is he inside? When all the evidence is in Hin! But being ignored isn't in Tin Metthanan's dictionary, so he raises his voice to ask the adult who doesn't care about his words.

“What does this mean? What does it mean that P'Tul betrayed me?”

“You're just a brat with no manners.”

“Bastard!”

“Eh, see? I'm right.”

“I told you it has nothing to do with P'Tul!”

Rob shakes his head hard. The older one hides his personality in a mask, while the younger one explodes until he almost hits.

“Your brother did bad things. I don't know who's stupider.”

These words make the child seethe. The person who can't stand him has already jumped on Rob while he screams and curses at the top of his lungs throughout the store. Tin pulls the collar of his shirt and raises his hand to punch the person who dares insult his beloved brother.

“Hey, that's enough!”

Rob reacts in time and dodges the punch by slightly deflecting his neck as Tin picks up a glass that he is preparing to throw at him.

“Khun Tin!”

The person who went to the bathroom returned in time and quickly enough to prevent the hand from spilling the drink on the student's forehead and shirt, so Gornhin quickly removed the glass and used his other hand to hold the boy tightly around the waist.
