fate. [marcpoon]

- step back -

the next day, people were staring at him as he walk past the hallway. he knew the video rapidly became the talk of the school, with students passing it around and discussing it at every opportunity.

he sat in class and saw his friendgroup coming at him with a mischievous smile on each and every one of them. "ah great, here we go again." Poon thought and face palmed.

"hello the talk of the town. im so jealous, i want to be carried too" teased one of them. "oh shut up don't go too far.." Aou prevent them from mocking Poon even more. Poon himself doesnt know what to feel. humiliated? cool?

"come on, we're just joking. congrats on having a boyfriend." they tap Poon on the shoulder and bothers him again. Poon was at loss for words, but a timid smile still played on his lips.

"dang, he's not denying it. if you really like him why dont you just tell him?" they asked.

"oh cut the crap. girls are in line to ask him out. and im just, an ordinary... boy." answered Poon.

"you havent even try?!"
"who said he likes girls?"
"you have at least 3% chance bro!!"
they all hyped him up, but Poon was so over it.

during recess, Poon sat at a bench, replaying the viral video over and over. he caught himself grinning from ear to ear.

a voice came from behind, "so you're the guy?" that startled Poon, making him stopped smiling to himself.

"huh?" asked Poon confused.

"that was an act right? to make Marc carry you all the way to the infirmary?" the person said.

Poon saw the nametag on his shirt shows 'Boom Tharatorn'. tsk, a senior, he thought.

"woah woah you are coming to the conclusions WAY too fast. no it was not an act, no i have no clue he was gonna carry me, and i have no idea who you are!" Poon answered, irritated.

"who i am does not matter to you. you know that video could ruin his reputation as a basketball player right?" Boom continues.

"its not my fault, i literally fainted. i can't control what HE'S gonna do. and fine, i won't trouble him anymore if that's what you want." Poon walked away angrily.

Poon assumed perhaps that was Marc's significant other. he knew this was coming. that adds another reason why he can't be with him.

while he was storming off with anger, yet again, he bumped into Marc. fate brought them to meet again. "oh hey, i was meaning to see you-" Marc tried to approach him.

Poon's eyes widened, even with his heart hammered in his chest like a drum announcing the approach of a storm, he had to walk away as he promised not to bother him again.

Marc watched as Poon stormed away, his mind racing with confusion and guilt. that odd act confused the freak out of Marc and made him overthink everything.

"Poon must've hate me now because of the video. i shouldn't have done that. how dumb could i be ..."
