TO SHOU WITH LOVE

93 - PENT UP ANGER

The young man breathed heavily in fear, staggering forward and refraining from looking back.

Even after the young man had walked away, Thanapon remained facing the wall, showing no intention of moving.

Sailub slowly pried open Thanapon's clenched fist, sliding his fingers into the gaps between his, holding onto them, and softly said, "Let's go."

He tried to lead Thanapon forward, but Thanapon slowly withdrew his fingers.

Usually, it was he who took Sailub's hand outside, but this time, their roles seemed reversed.

"What's wrong?" Sailub looked at him.

Thanapon shook his head and let out a soft sigh. "I shouldn't have brought you here."

"It's okay, I'm not as fragile as you think," Sailub smiled. "These things happen, just ignore it."

Thanapon remained silent for a few seconds, then suddenly grabbed Sailub's arm and pulled him towards the nearby street corner. "Let's go."

"Where to?" Sailub followed him. "Aren't we taking the motorcycle?"

Thanapon nodded but didn't answer the first question.

Standing on the street corner, Thanapon hailed a taxi and let Sailub get in first.

After Sailub sat down, Thanapon didn't join him but bent down to speak to the driver, giving Sailub's studio address. "Go to the vicinity of Anyuan Bridge."

"What about you?" Sailub realized he was letting him go first.

I'll keep looking," Thanapon's voice softened only when speaking to Sailub. "You go back and rest."

Before Sailub could say anything else, Thanapon closed the car door and walked towards his motorcycle.

By the time Sailub got out of the taxi to catch up with him, Thanapon had already mounted the motorcycle and sped off into the street, disappearing into the traffic within seconds, out of Sailub's sight.

Standing on the roadside, Sailub furrowed his brows slightly.

He could sense that Thanapon had refrained from hitting the young man just now solely because he was present, suppressing his anger.

So where would Thanapon go next, to continue searching for Tania?

But he had just asked Thanapon if there was any other place Tania might go, and Thanapon had clearly shaken his head to indicate a negative answer....

"Are we still going?" the driver waiting on the roadside poked his head out and asked.

"...Yes." Sailub snapped back to reality, got back into the back seat of the taxi, and said, "Driver, let's go somewhere else instead of Anyuan Bridge."

At the intersection, Thanapon watched the countdown on the traffic light through the windshield.

Where could Tania be...

They had already searched all the places Tania might frequent, but she was still nowhere to be found.

Although this wasn't the first time experiencing such a situation, and he knew Tania was capable of taking care of herself, the anxiety in his heart didn't diminish at all, instead, it intensified, fermenting in his chest.

In addition to that, the phrase "Homosexuals are motherf*cking disgusting" lingered in his mind, refusing to fade away.

He could endure being scolded himself, after all, he didn't care how others perceived him.
