Breath (TulHin)

Epilogue

“You haven't changed at all.”

“Instead, Khun Tul has changed a lot from the person he was before.”

“I did it?”

In the same living room, Tul still sits and stares into Gornhin's face, unable to take his eyes off him for a moment. All the while he can only stare at that boy who actually just changed from servant to true lover and who currently looks disastrous. Looking at each other, they smile at each other as their eyes reflect desire and share thoughts that are not too different from each other.

“Yes, Khun Tul seems more mature now.” 

And then he looks at him with wider eyes. It's true, the Tul from before was someone who always hid his feelings for others; but right now, he can't lie to anyone, he doesn't want to hide her feelings for him even a little. Now Gornhin thinks it wasn't just him who desperately missed him. Even though he was heartbroken by the separation, Khu Tul also longed for him madly.

“And you're still as cute as ever.”

“Are you talking about me?”

Hin asks rather perplexed and because of that reaction, Tul lets out a laugh that's too loud.

“I've seen you cute for a long time, Hin. For a long time in fact. I just... I didn't want to admit it.”

“Do you still see me like this?”

“Yes. Then show me how cute you are every day.”

That's when Tul smiles. The kind of smile Hin always wanted to see on him.

It's a smile full of joy. Which caused Hin to move to grab and pull his boss's hand and hold it tightly.

“For nearly six years I have held this, Khun Tul.”

Gornhin takes the phone that the younger girl broke out of his pocket and puts it in Tul's hand. He is then followed by a pen which he did not have the opportunity to hand over to him on that occasion.

“This is the gift you gave me for my birthday, and this is the birthday present I planned for you, but because of what happened I couldn't give it to you then. All this time I was able to survive thanks to these two things. Even if when I had to wake up from my dreams in reality I didn't have you.”

Hin shares all this without hiding, he has suffered enough. And since the situations between the two of them had been very similar, Tul also speaks.

“You and I did the same thing.”

What Tul shows Hin is the stone he always carried with him.

“I always carry with me the stone you gave me during that three-day journey. It's what made me feel like I was still alive in this world.”

Tul says with a smile, but Hin doesn't laugh at all, on the contrary because that smile makes him understand how much suffering the boss has been through. Therefore, he takes all those things from Tul's hand and moves to embrace his beloved.

“We don't need it anymore, do we?”

“Yes” Tul hugs him and responds firmly.

“I'll have you every day from now on, right?”

“Yes.”

That's when Hin asks the same question.

“I can love you?”

This time Tul looks him in the eyes and responds with a more serious tone than ever:

“If you don't love me, then I will die.”
