Love Sick : The After Story

Extra Chapter: Loyal Puppy

[Third Person's Point Of View]

Amid one of the numerous corridors of the six floor university, stood two boys in utter silence. The calmer of the two boys leaned against the cold surface of the wall. With his arms crossed over his chest, he gave his friend a concerned stare. He didn't know how many minutes had passed now, but he was slowly losing his patience. 

Just hang in there, a little longer, just a little longer, he told himself over and over, without knowing to whom those sentences were directed. To himself or to his friend, Phun, who was going nuts in front of him. Such person was walking in circles with a panicked expression and muttering inaudible words to himself as if he was a patient at a mental institute, ignoring his presence completely. In the furthest corner of his mind, he couldn't help but wonder, did Phun know that he was standing there or had he forgotten about that as well?

Kai was thankful that no one was there to witness the scene. It would've not only put Phun to shame, but embarrass him as well. It was break time and every student had left the building for lunch. Usually, students would gather in groups and eat at restaurants near the area. Lunch time was time to socialize. The only time to socialize, as a matter of fact. Being a very prestigious university, studying was everyone's priority. You rarely saw anyone socializing inside the building. But outside the building was a different story. They would all gather up and spend their times talking about their lives and the usual gossip. The two of them would usually tag along, although they weren't exactly "close" to any of the other students. But it was better to spend the time with them than alone, so they would join them and pretend they knew what they were talking about. However, this time they had stood behind to wait for Phun's boyfriend, Noh. He had called earlier and told Phun they had something to "discuss". And apparently it was a serious matter as he even requested Phun to skip today's class. This, as expected, set Phun's worry off. If Phun had been worried about Noh before the call, he wasn't any better now. He was having a hard time breathing and Kai feared he would faint any time soon, if he didn't faint before him.

Kai knew he could've left long time ago. He could've left his friend to wait on his own. He was old enough to be able to do that. He wasn't a child who he had to keep a look on. He was a full grown adult. He should've left him by now. It was his boyfriend they were waiting for, after all. Not Kai's business. No loss from it, but no gain either. Just like every other time he did something for the latter, there was no loss but no gain either. No gratitude. No recognition. Not even a small smile. No nothing. And it's not like it mattered, anyways. Kai had never expected anything from the latter. He knew that the other only had a heart and a mind for Noh. Noh and no one else. It had always been that way. Phun's life only revolved about Noh. Noh this, Noh that. Noh was everything he would talk about. He just wouldn't shut up about him. Noh was the only thing that mattered. Fuck everyone else. His only family. His only friend. His whole entire life. And it's not like it bothered Kai. He had grown accustomed to it by now. But sometimes, just sometimes, before realizing it, he wished that the other would forget about Noh for just a moment. Forget about Noh and look at me. I'm right here, can't you see?  Kai would call out for him, inside his mind. But the latter would never look at him, because he didn't own a place in his heart like he did.  

And no. This wasn't what it sounded like. The feelings he had for Phun were not like that. He never looked at Phun and thought, I want to have his dick in my ass or vice versa. He couldn't even fathom why someone would want a dick shoved in their ass, to be honest. He wanted to be close to Phun, but not that kind of close. Platonic love, perhaps? A feeling that was so familiar to him. Just like Phun was familiar to him. He reminded him of someone, someone who he had lost. Someone who just like Phun, had never noticed him. Who had never thanked him for his efforts on staying loyal. And he could see it coming. The story repeating itself. Once Phun graduated, he was going to turn into a stranger, if he wasn't that already. And it terribly pained him, for some reason. If you know the outcome, what are you still doing here? He would ask himself often, especially at times like this one. Why are you wasting your time on someone who would never let you in his life?
