Kong had asked Prem and Aim to buy lunch for them after talking to Prem alone in his room right after the cavemen mating display Forth had put on for Bright. Kong had just shut his room door and was about to turn around when Prem grabbed hold of him and broke down. Kong swore silently.

Shit! I knew it! God damn it, Prem!

He stood there at the door as Prem silently bawled his heart out. He didn't have to say anything to know what was going on in his friend's mind right then. Kong sighs deeply.

Shit! Shit! Shit!

"Prem, calm down and talk to me," Kong coaxed his broken friend.

" I... I can't Kong." Prem said wiping his eyes and turning away from Kong towards the bed. He sat heavily with his elbows on his knees.

"Bright.." Kong shot knowingly and saw Prem put his palms on his head as fresh tears dropping down his eyes.

"I screw up, Kong. I fu..ked bad," He groaned miserably as he palmed his face.

"Did you know, that Bright had a crush on you?" Kong asked, feeling helpless at this situation knowing the answer to that, heck, even he didn't and he was always alert in anything about his friend at least he thought he was. In these past few days, he realized suddenly that he had missed a lot of things concerning his friends. First Korn and now, Prem & Bright.

"I... sense something was off with him since the day we all met but I always thought that the strangeness was just him. I was never really annoyed at him, Kong. I just felt restless when it comes to him. He never seemed to be serious at all in everything. Sometimes I wanted just to tell him to get his life straightened out and right now I wish I could have just really given him the benefit of the doubt. I didn't know he was just pretending in front of us these three years." Prem said bitterly.

"What about now, Prem. You do know it's really too late to do anything now." Kong looked at his friend and cursed again.

"I can't believe he waited for me all this time, Kong and to think that Forth knew of my existence in his heart and waited patiently for him to give up on me... that's just... it just kills me inside..." Prem said hoarsely, feeling at lost and tugging at his shirt near where his heart was. Kong sat down at a chair near Prem and stroked his back trying to calm him but knowing too well that it doesn't help one bit.

"He's with Forth now, Prem," Kong said and felt like kicking himself at the look in Prem's eyes. The pain clamoring in his wet eyes wrench at his gut but he knew he had to make Prem know his stand in this situation. He didn't want his friends to be awkward meeting each other later on. Very soon in fact.

"I know.." Prem's voice was just a broken whisper.

"Just now.. why didn't you make a move Prem?" Kong asked gently.

"How can I Kong! I don't even know what I'm feeling right now, how do you expect me to stand there in front of Forth and stop him. Do I even have the rights, Kong?" Prem burst desperately, his right fist kept hitting his left chest as if trying to ease his congested heart.

"Then maybe you should ask yourself what you feel for Bright and come to terms with this, Prem because I really don't want my friends to break apart," Kong said firmly but with sincere truth that Prem looked into Kong firm globes and nodded.

"Why don't you go and get us something to eat for lunch and get yourself straightened out before Bright and Forth come back here," Kong said and walked out of the room leaving Prem to himself.
