Love Redefined

Chapter 39

"Sanop, this is your wages and since you weren't official staff of this boat, make sure you walk straight out once we landed. Leave the rest of the work to all the staff, and thank you for your hard work. I don't know what happened to you, so I hope you will be safe."

The boss was patting Copter on his shoulder before leaving him. Copter then approach all the staff had been kind enough treating him and Narin was the last person and he was thankful to the guy the most. If only he could tell him how he appreciate every little thing the guy did for him.

"I know, so don't worry. I never told you before, but I already used to your expressions. I've been trying to understand what you were trying to say without saying anything, and I'm good at reading people. So I know you appreciate everything I did, but honestly, I didn't do much. I wish you all the best, and let's see each other again as friend. You know where I work, just come looking for me if anything."

Copter was nodding his head, and was hugging the guy. Once the boat stop and anchored, Copter was walking out without turning back, looking for taxi and giving the driver a paper with the address he prepared beforehand.

He was determined. No matter what the reality is, he knew he had to face it. If for the fact that P'Tae had already forget about him and move on, he will just leave right away. Though he wasn't sure even if he could.

The whole way, he was excited and also nervous since he really miss P'tae, his friends, Kimmon and Bas and he missed P'Park and P'Lam too. He was wondering if they will missed him too.

When the taxi arrived, once his feet landed on the hard asphalt of the road, he became conscious on his looks. Will it be okay appeared in this condition? His body full of blisters and burn from the sun, he was skinny and he looks sick. He was walking and hiding behind the pole, watching the building from the opposite side of the road. He was looking around if he could saw P'Tae or anyone else

'P'Tae....how are you? I really missed you. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.' His tears dropped like a waterfall. Now that he was standing right here, with the building in front of his eyes, it seems so close yet so far he couldn't get close to.

"Copter? Is that you, baby?"

Hearing the voice he yearns for months for the first time, was like having a heart attack. Copter was shocked, he really missed the voice's owner but somehow he couldn't bring himself to turn around. He was afraid if he was turning around, the things he was afraid of would become real.

He wanted to run, but his legs felt weak, and his tears just keeps on falling that his vision's gets blurred.

Tae was slowly walking in front of the skinny guy, still trying to grasp the reality. The very person he was waiting and searching for this whole time was standing in front of him, that he felt unreal.

When he saw the pale and red face of his sweet lover, Tae's heart hurt, but at least he was so happy his baby came back.

Slowly, Tae's hand was touching Copter's cheek, watching Copter's face before pulling him in his arms, not letting go anymore.

Once he felt the warm he missed so much, that hits home for him, Copter was crying out loud, letting out all the pent up feelings he had all this time. All he could do was crying and Tae too couldn't help but crying and at the same time trying to calm Copter down.

'P'Tae....P'Tae...P'Tae...' all Copter could think of in his minds. Somehow, all the pain he was trying to keep in as hard as he could, physically and emotionally hits him like a vengeance that Copter couldn't keep in anymore, and he was falling down in Tae's arms, turning his world totally black.

"He is malnutrition, weak, and his skin had a severe burn or blisters that didn't get proper treatment. He just needs lot of rest, good food and it will take some time for his blisters, but I'll let you know what to do in details, it will be okay. For now I provide him with drip, later just make sure you feed good food to him, and if anything, just call me. If his condition gets worse, just make sure to send him to hospital, which I doubt it will be, but just in case. I'm happy you found him back, just let me know if you need anything else."

The doctor, who is also a friend of Tae had convey the condition of Copter after properly checked and given him treatment inside Tae's apartment.

"No, I didn't found him, he was able to find his way back, from who knows where. I don't know what else he went through to make him in this condition, and just watching him makes my heart break. He just get better from the accident when all this happened, and I felt useless, that I couldn't properly protect him and lets all this happen." Tae was stress, even though he was happy Copter is back, but just watching him, his heart hurt for Copter.

"Hey, you are here now, and he is here now. You can do all the things for him now. You have us, he has us. So don't ever think you are alone in this. Anyway, Lam and Park will be here in a while, I need to go back to my clinic, couldn't leave it empty for long. You make sure to let me know if anything, okay?"

Tae was giving the doctor guy wrinkled forehead. "The clinic is not empty. Type is there to tend to other patients. You just couldn't leave him for long, are you?" Tae's statement makes Tharn laughing.

Its good to be back here to his hometown, reunite with his old friend back. Though he came back in a time that his friend had a bad moment, he was glad his friend finally get his lover back.

"Well, that is one of the reasons anyway. I'll bring Type with me later to come and visits him. When he is a little better, that is. We had long overdue introduction, right?"

Tae was nodding his head, while watching Tharn walked out of his apartment. He didn't wait long to walk back into his room, where Copter was lying down.

Just watching weak and pale Copter on the bed, makes him missed the guy even more. Slowly and carefully, he took the place beside Copter, lying down and pulling unconscious Copter into his arms. He kissed Copter's head a few times and was hugging the guy, bear in mind not to crush the weak body inside his arms.

"I missed you baby, and I loves you so damn much. Thank you for coming back to me."
