If it can't be you

🌌Dream 43🌌

Fourth was with Mark playing in the water, Mark refusing to leave Fourth's side.

Fourth's eyes were clouded, he was not speaking but Mark rested his arms in Fourth's shoulder.

After a while, Fourth took a deep breath and smiled at Mark.

"I'm okay now, thank you." Mark softly squeezed Fourth's shoulder.

Phuwin and Gem figured there's something wrong with Fourth but opted to let it go for now.

They joined the two friends and played in the water with them.

"Hang on to me." Phuwin whispered to Fourth. Fourth immediately wrapped his arms in Phuwin's waist.

They played a little more the fishes continued to nibble on them which was a little tickly but did not hurt, after a while they decided to continue their journey.

Phuwin held Fourth's hand while they walk, he silently whispered to Fourth when he saw that Mark and Gem was softly arguing a ways behind them.

"Are you okay, love?"

"Yes, Win. I'm sorry for being sensitive."

"You can tell me about it when you are ready."

"Thank you, Win."

"Remember that I love you, Fourth. I'm here for you."

"I love you too."

"My golly, just get a room!" Gem yelled as Mark and Gem caught up with them and heard the cheesiness of the two.

"Nosy!" Yelled Phuwin. Fourth just lowered his head, face blushing.

They finally reached level 5: Buea Mai Long.

Level five is a broad waterfall with numerous tourists, featuring both deep and shallow areas. Fourth decided to sit in the shallow parts, his feet playing in the water, Phuwin and Gem decided to swim.

Phuwin swam back to where Fourth was sitting noticing that Fourth was really quiet.

"Do you want to play with us?" He asked his Faen.

"I'm a bit tired, we still have a couple more levels to go. I'd like to rest for a bit."

"Okay."

They sat in silence for a bit before Phuwin broke the silence.

"I'm happy. Spending time with you, going here. I really am happy. This is nice."

"Yes. I'm really happy that we went here." Fourth leaned his head to Phuwin's shoulder.

"Aren't you playing?"

"I want to sit with you."

"Okay."

After a while, Fourth suddenly looked up and kissed Phuwin's cheeks.

"It's getting late, if we want to reach the top level, we best get a move on." Said Gem.

So they decided to continue on.

Reaching the sixth level: Dong Pruksa, the view was just breath taking. Fourth took out his phone and stated taking pictures of the view.

"Let's take a selfie." Said Phuwin.

"I'll take your picture!" Said Mark.

"Use my phone." Phuwin replied while handling his phone to Mark.

Mark took the picture for the couple. Once Phuwin got his phone back, he immediately changed his wallpaper to the picture he liked best. Him kissing Fourth's cheeks.

"Let's also take a selfie." Gem whispered to Mark. Mark glared at Gem but decided to take pity when Gem pouted. Using Gem's phone, they also took a few selfies then posted as a group.

"Let's continue on to level seven and not stay here anymore, I'm getting really tired." Fourth said softly.

"Can you still walk?" Phuwin immediately asked.

"Yes"
