Sotus: A short lovestory

Weddings-After

*song: Xia Junsu - How can I love you. Today I found out, that a song I've been loving for two years is one of Junsu's songs, the singer who I just recently discovered for myself :) fun. It's a beautiful song even without lyrics, anyone who wants, can find the lyrics on youtube. It's a song with a really warm feeling.
(By the way... there are a lot of songs in this chap :) might be my last chance.. so I appreciate it if you listen, but you can always just read and not listen to any of them)

*Well this is it. I wrote just under 5th words in this chapter. And believe me, there was so much more to say... But let's be realistic. I did a lot, and mostly, I'm really satisfied.
Thank you for enjoying the story and living it with me. I had fun. I will try to not write anything new before the 10'th of June. If I have any ideas then... you will be the first to read them!

Last chapter:

As Arthit turned his head and watched the silent gang, he was thinking the same. He caught Knott's eyes. There was that smartass knowing smile. Somehow it rarely got to the point where anyone could surprise him. But everyone else was wide-eyed and either started to change from surprised to angry or cheerful. They all had a thought about this situation. The first words came and of course, it was Bright. "Holy shit! Arthit you really did it! I lost! How could you do it?!" Arthit was rather surprised to find his friends all taking money out of their pockets. All of them reached their money to Knott, who just smiled widely and collected his winnings.

"Well, you shouldn't be so surprised. As we were waiting for you to stop your acting like an idiot, we discussed together, if and when you would act again like your real self. But we actually didn't bet on that. We had a discussion about Kong. That if you started acting normal again if Kong would forget about the idiotic acting and would forgive you. Your other friends were sure that you had been an unforgivable idiot and even Kong would not be convinced otherwise. But I had a feeling. I saw you as sad as a guy can be when you were thinking nobody saw you and I knew that wasn't you. Something was going on, so I betted against them, and I think we all deserve some explanation." Arthit and Kong exchanged looks and walked to the table. They were stopped by mom and dad, who hugged them and promised to talk about the details of the wedding on the next day. Arthit was quietly getting used to the familiar and warm attitude of Kong's, their parents.

Arthit let Kong sit, he didn't feel like he could talk when he was sitting down. Also, he did feel like needing to hold on to something, so he stood behind Kong and leaned into the chair. As short as possible he started talking. About his uncle, he's twisted thinking, wanting to hurt Kong, explaining, therefore, the reason he acted towards Kong, as he had acted. Also the plans they three with the help of police had made, but of course, he didn't tell them anything about the most horrific part. Not just that there were Kong's friends there, but he knew he would not tell this part of his past to no one. Kong was the person who knew the most but even to him, he didn't ever want to share the horrors of those past days. It probably was enough for Kong to witness the rare nightmares. Thankfully there wasn't a lot of them, but on the first days back from the hospital Kong had held him at nights when he had sweated through them. Arthit had seen the pain on Kong's face in the mornings, the tiredness. He probably could not sleep the first nights a lot, but it had gotten better and Arthit knew, it will either disappear or will mostly go away as they would spend their days together, being happy and in love.

Though obviously lot's of questions, they held themselves back, either truly not wanting to disturb the peace of this happy couple as much as it already had been disturbed or just using their brains for a bit. Especially surprised were both guys with Bright. The guy was infamous for saying exactly what he was thinking, and either he wasn't thinking much or he had found some common sense from somewhere.
Suddenly the person in question raised his head and yelled out for the drinks to be brought to the table. He announced that they needed to celebrate this reunion. "Well Kong and Arthit, you still haven't said the most important part." Arthit looked confused as Kong chuckled quietly already. "You mean, when can you eat and most importantly drink for free?" Knott asked with a comical sarcasm. Bright smiled brightly and nodded quickly. Then Arthit got it. He sometimes was really slow, even he had to admit it sometimes. He squeezed Kong's shoulder and felt him shudder with another quiet chuckle.
