Anagapesis (KlaoWarich)

Anger, hatred, jealousy, frustration, dejected, lonely. These all terms are brewed into a cocktail and swirled by Warich, serving him with new emotion everyday. Everyday he questions his worth in this relationship. Though Klao promised to not mind Yotha's presence around Warich he can't refrain from his jealousy.

Every time Warich tries to talk to Yotha, fully knowing that Yotha isn't interested, Klao is fuming. Yotha, being Warich's first love, adds more fuel to the fire. It's hard for Klao to control himself when Yotha is someone too special to Warich, always at the center of his concern, something Klao can never quite compete with.

After what happened that day when he saw Warich hugging Yotha it was the last thread for his patience. Without thinking anything he launched that punch in his face. Klao was lost in the heat of the moment and didn't expect Warich to step in and slap him, its sting sharp and sudden, making Klao freeze. The silence was deafening, the slap made him snap out of his anger and his gaze turned to Warich—eyes wide, trying to process the reality of what had just happened.

His boyfriend, the love of his life, his everything took the stand of the very guy he hates. After almost breaking up -which Klao managed to undo- Now Klao has accepted his fate, the fate that states he shall let Yotha stay by Warich's side. Klao has no other option but to give in, he is helpless and he cannot afford to lose Warich more than he already has.

He is like my little brother.

You've already beaten everyone the day I choose you.

You're my whole world, Klao.

Warich words seem genuine to him so from now on he will try to trust Warich with his whole heart and stop jumping into conclusions, changing himself for better, for their relationship, for Warich.

But his resolution didn't even last for a day.

"Can we talk for a moment?" Faifa politely asked, the discomfort on his face was visible. They crossed paths in the parking lot of the club. Klao knew him through all the research he did on Yotha and Wa's past and he knew Faifa is not like his brothers- especially Newton. Klao straightened up and gave him attention. "Sure,what's the matter?"

"Wa and Yotha did something behind your back and I think you should be aware of it." Faifa states, Their names in the same sentence is always a bad sign. Klao swallowed the anxious lump down his throat, looking intently at Faifa to continue. "I don't understand, what do you mean?"

Faifa fiddles his fingers, looking around to make sure they are the only ones in the parking lot. "Actually after the fight on the street that day Gun told me something and I can't keep it to myself because it's wrong." Klao felt a sinking sensation in his stomach, his chest tightening as the words hung in the air. Something tells him he wasn't going to like what was coming next

"Wrong on so many levels that I feel nauseous and dizzy." Faifa stopped for a moment and looked at Klao to continue. Klao's heart is beating fast, tell him it is not what he thinks it is. "Please stop speaking in riddles and tell me what's going on." Klao exclaimed, frustratedly.

"Gun saw Yotha kissing Wa the other night at the restroom in the club."

Klao's world stopped. The words echoed in his mind, each syllable carving a deeper wound. "Gun saw Yotha kissing Wa the other night at the restroom in the club." His breath hitched, the air around him growing thick and suffocating. He clenched his fists, his nails digging into his palms in an attempt to ground himself.

Tell him it's a lie.

"Are you... sure?" Klao's voice wavered, barely above a whisper, as he locked eyes with Faifa. There was a desperate plea in his tone, hoping against hope that Faifa would backtrack, that he'd tell him it was all a misunderstanding.
