Kongpob helped comfort the low spirited Arthit that was mentally and physically torturing himself in the bathroom. After Kongpob's embraces to claim back what was his, he calmed Arthit down with his warm palm stroking Arthit's drenched hair. Which poor Arthit tried his best to calm his anxiety and trauma down.

Kongpob hugged Arthit tightly as he lifted himself a bit higher to seized the large white towel on the hanger and wrapped it gently around Arthit's whole naked body and took another one to snuggly tug it on his hips.
(This scene is the continuation of last chapter when Kongpob "did" it with Arthit in the bathroom in order to peel of Max's print of Arthit)

He hurried up to grabbed Arthit's clothes and dressed the older male properly and slowly lifted Arthit up in the most gentle way as the older male crunched himself in Kongpob's arm seeking for the warmth. The younger male walked to the bed and lowered down his body to put Arthit down as he tugged Arthit with another layer of their fluffy blanket making sure his boyfriend was in the best, most soothing condition because he knew that it was a traumatic experience for his beloved sun and Kongpob had wont give Max a chance to run away from his fist once he could make sure that Arthit's emotional conditions were stable enough to be left alone for a short period of time.

Realizing that, Kongpob slipped his phone out of his pocket and dialed Kwang informing her regarding Arthit's sick leave. He had the urge to inform Kwang about Max's unethical and filthy action toward his boyfriend but he clenched his jaw and tugged his nails against his palm trying to hold back, trying his best not to mention that taboo name in front of Arthit. He hung up after Kwang agreed to informed the boss with the plausible reasons.

He dropped the phone back in his pocket and proceed to the closet to cover himself with light clothings. Kongpob grabbed a hair dryer by the desk next to their bed and plugged it in the electric socket as he gently caress Arthit's hair while blow drying it to avoid catching cold.

"P'Arthit..are you okay?" Kongpob uttered in a soothing voice

Arthir didnt say anything but a slight nod. Blank face, shaken body he didnt even blink, only stared at nothing in particular

"...it's okay, Kongpob..you can go to work..i'm fine..a little better now.." arthit said but kongpob knew he wasnt fine at all. He felt really bad seeing his boyfriend in his current state.

"Nope, P. My place have 2 days off. I'll look after you. I dont think i can leave you alone" Kongpob said.

The younger male tried his very best to see Arthit's smile. He didnt care what Max did but for now, Arthit's happiness and smiles were the most important think for him. He felt like he'd been stabbed in the heart by thousands of knives.

Arthit's eyelid started to feel heavy while he was watching TV with Kongpob on the bed under his embrace. Everytime Kongpob kissed him to calm him down, he thought of Max's disgusting lips on his, he wanted to puke, he wanted to skin himself off, everywhere that Max touched. After a whole lot of contemplation Arthit eventually fell asleep without his knowledge. Kongpob noticed the silence of his partner thus peaking his head out to check on Arthit.

He pulled his hand off Arthit and laid the older male comfortably on the pillow as Kongpob slowly crept out of the bed so as not to disturb Arthit. He then silently open the balcony's floor-to-ceiling glass door. Kongpob walked toward the vast space of the front porch of their apartment and pressed his back against the wall as he dragged himself down slowly until he hugged his knee on the floor. Tears suddenly streamed out of the younger male's eyes. The vigorous force pushed his tears out like a waterfall but he tried so hard to hold back the voice that was imprisoned inside of his throat. He covered his face with his hand while his heart was aching profoundly. He despise Max so bad right now, for what he'd done to his precious Arthit and he felt inferior to himself that he couldnt be there for Arthit during those tough time, that he couldnt even be a superhero to save the person that he swore to protect both physically and emotionally. He thought he failed as a boyfriend. It was too painful that he couldnt hold all of his voice back. His eyes were swollen of tears, his nose and cheeks were all red.

After a short while Arthit's lids was blinkling as he faintly heard a sound of someone crying outside at the balcony. He turned himself over to the other side as he see a slight part of Kongpob's back showing through the glass door, shaking. Arthit's jaw slightly hung loose as he lifted half of his body off the bed. Arthit was genuinely concerned about Kongpob's well-being and he felt the guilt that crept through his mind. Why did Kongpob have to cry silently out of his sight. Arthit just wanted to be the one who wiped those tears,

Arthit's got out of the bed and slowly walked to the balcony. With his current condition, walking slowly was the best he could do because he body was really weak and traumatic. He swiped the glass balcony door open and crunch down toward the younger male whose eyes looked awful red. He gently tapped Kongpob's shoulder from behind as Kongpob turned his head toward Arthit.

"Kongpob..."

Kongpob immediately wiped his tears and faintly smile "do you need anything P? How are you feeling now?"

"Don't care about me! Care about yourself first! Why do you have to go cry alone like this. Am i not trustworthy?" Arthit said

"It's...." Kongpob hesitated "I'm sorry.." Kongpob frowned in sadness. This is the first time Arthit saw Kongpob broke down this bad. "I just dont want to look weak in front you, P" Kongpob said. His voice his tight and low as he couldnt stop his tears.

"It's okay to me weak sometimes. Just skin off your brave mask and cry..we'll be there for each other, right? Just like how you were there with me all morning..thank you, Kongpob ." Arthit

"But..p! I'm sorry i cant save you from...." Kongpob restrained from saying the taboo name.

Arthit wrapped his arm around Kongpob's shoulder tightly, pressing his head on his shoulder

"No..." seeing the younger male cried he couldnt help but cry a little. "I should listened to you about drinking from the first place..you've done more than enough" Arthit held up his palm to cup Kongpob's wet cheek and wipe the younger male's tears with his thumb.

"Come on, get up!" Arthit took Kongpob's hand as both of them stood up simultaneously. Arthit felt the need to cheer Kongpob up because everything would collapse if the two of them both fell on their knees. At least one must be strong.

Arthit's smile returned to his beautiful face and Kongpob couldnt asked for more. "Wanna go somewhere? It's still like, 10 in the morning and i dont wanna sleep anymore. I need something to clear my thoughts" Arthit added.

Kongpob wanted to confront Max while Arthit was sleeping but right now, all he cared about his making Arthit happy again. He'd deal with Max tomorrow since he'd got another day off

"Where do you wanna go?" Asked Kongpob as he smiled to the older male

"Then..why dont we take a stroll with your motor around the suburb of bangkok? It's quiet there" Said Arthit.

"Okay, Let's go"
