RUPTURES [ AOU × BOOM ]

2 : Distress

THE wide opened door was left opened after Boom was gone. Only the beautiful scent was left in the middle of the venue. It was Boom's perfume. Mick and Punn turned their face together at the same time. The both of them looked at the same direction, which was Aou Thanaboon. 

"Let's continue!" P'Jump said while holding a bottle of drink. Boom wasn't there anymore and the party must go on.

"Yeahhh!" The others shouted out of excitement.

The loud music started to play again, the guests were back on the dance floor. The space was filled with beats and enjoyments. Everyone was enjoying the party and only stopped when they were drunk.

The same thing goes with Mick and Punn. They were dancing like there's no tomorrow and knocked out after an hour. After 2 hours, the place turned into a complete 'library' because everybody were on the floor, couches and even on the stairs sleeping. They were all out of their minds due to the alcohol. 

But Aou was the only one who still sober throughout the night. He didn't drink much and was not in the mood of partying like the rest after they trolled Boom. He was annoyed and so damn mad at that weird freak.

He spotted something wrong with Boom since the beginning of first semester. Boom perpetually alone and always looked cold, unfriendly. He looked anxious all the time too. 

He put the empty can on the table and left the venue without his friends.

Boom slowly got up and walked to the bed looking lethargic. He thrown himself to the bed and sank his face to the pillow for few seconds. He was tired with everything.

After a while, he turned himself facing the ceiling. It was very gloomy. He stared at the gloomy ceiling with no face expression but deep inside he was hurt and destroyed.

"YOU ARE THE CURSE OF OUR FAMILY!"

"YOU ARE A BAD LUCK!"

"YOU ARE NOT OUR SON. YOU ARE A DEMON!"

The screaming and shouting from his parents echoed in his mind. It lingered like creepy ghosts since he was a child. Leaving the untreatable wound and scars. He wanted to heal but the scars gotten worse day by day. He was trying his best to live his life after his grandfather was gone forever.

"GO AWAY! YOU ARE THE CURSE OF OUR FAMILY!"

Boom spontaneously closed his eyes. He hated the internal screaming. 

"YOU ARE A BAD LUCK!!"

Boom covered his ears with both hands and shook his head repeatedly. NO, SHUT UPPP! He said. The anxiety came at him like a predator. He opened his eyes and burst into tears. 

Then, he saw a puff of black smoke on the ceiling. The same smoke that tried to possessed Aou before. The tears was flowing harder and his voice stucked in his throat. He couldn't uttered a single word. 

The smoke moved slowly and stopped right before Boom's face. Boom was scared to death but he can't moved. He was locked to bed and struggled to escape. 

Boom's hand tried to reach the amulet under the pillow but it was hard enough to move a single finger. He was sweating like crazy and panting in distress. He felt like fainting but begged himself to stay awake.

The smoke moved towards his mouth, tried to enter his body. 

Boom successfully reached the amulet and threw it to the smoke and it was gone. He finally able to moved and rushed to the floor with face covered with tears and sweat. What exactly the smoke was? Another demon that came to haunt him?
