In a country of corruption, discrimination, and desolation, a brilliant young man, Ngew Hao, finds his way into the arms of a care-free black knight, Karthik. But this was a grave mistake.
He was his friend, but he was his joy. At every chance you c...
"P-POOKIE...HOW COULD YOU?! AFTER ALL THESE YEARS?" Karthik screeched at Ngew Hao, his fists balled and his tears streaming down his face like how drops of water racing down would on a rainy day. His hand then reached up to his own chest and gripped his shirt.
Oh, how love hurts.
How love hurts.
So, so, so....much.
"Why didn't you tell me...?" He sobbed, closing his eyes tight and hard to shut out the pain.(⛓️🥀🐺🥶) "N-No...why did you do this?"
"I....I never thought you would betray me like this... On graduation...I thought we would have a family together and live happily..." He clenched his shirt harder, feeling the pain of betrayal from his beloved pookie.
Karthik recalled all those times he had been so, so, foolishly in love.
==============================
"I remember writing love poems and making gestures. Brushing against his skin ever so slightly, laughing together, fondling his thighs during class whenever Teacher Shamre was yapmaxxing, and drawing hearts on his paper. But he never took those signs seriously. Sighh... He didn't know I was serious, didn't he?
Oh, the way he looks at me.
And the way I look at him.
What a fool that I am.
I'm just a friend. And he was a soulmate to me. My power, my pleasure, my pain. He was a double edged sword to me. To imagine a day like this would come, was expected. But it still hurts.
I remember my poem exactly written this way:

(I'm too lazy for this shit bruh leave me alone I know how to write poems I'm a songwriter 🙄🙄🙄)
And so much many more I had written, but this was the one that fits us the most.
So this is it?
This is how I learn that love isn't real? A lie? An image conjured up to catch the naïve?
It just had to be from my babygirl.
Why."
=============================
Ngew Hao was bamboozled. He didn't know how to react or what to say.
"Karthik...what did you mean?" He took a step closer, trying his best to carefully approach his friend without startling or scaring him away, "I don't understand..."
"OF COURSE YOU DONT. YOU DONT BECAUSE...BECAUSE..." He sobbed and dropped to his knees, "you...don't see me in the same light..."
"I'm sorry... I don't reciprocate at all."
Karthik sniffles and looks down to the floor.
Of course he doesn't.
After all, he has a girlfriend.
"I hope we could just stay friends after this. I don't want to lose you as a friend. You're a good person, Karthik, but good people get hurt."
"..." Karthik stayed silent. The only thing audible was the sound of his irregular breathing, and his stifled sniffles. He was on his knees like how you would take backshots.
And a little bit of muffled laughs in the far distance. A few meters away, Howard was stuffing popcorn into his mouth like a chipmunk, but the scene caused him to laugh and now he's choking on them like P Diddy's victims.
On his side, Jayden punched his back to help him with the choking, but then instead helped the choking. He panicked and shook him, which made the saliva coated popporn fly out like confetti
But all of this chaos was missed by the archon quest characters, Karthik and Ngew Hao.
"So I guess this is a goodbye then."
"Y-yeah..."
