THE STORYBOOK

H2: PART 8 (ENGLISH)

RIIING RIIIING

The sound of a car's bell pulled the young man out of his thoughts and, quickly, he looked at the door of the chocolate's store.

On the sidewalk, in front of the front door, was a taxi that was waiting for him to come out with the order bags.

Arthit sighed, watching the rain that was falling harder as ever.

"No way Arthit ... you have to go out," he said to himself as he thought about the money he would lose if he did not deliver them.

Arthit picked up the last bags he had left on the counter and ran out of the establishment. After closing the door he climbed into the vehicle and took out his little notebook where he had the addresses to which he had to go.

A slight growl came from his lips.

"Not again ...", he said to himself as he frowned after looking at one of the directions, "not that place again ..."

However, despite how little he wanted to go, he finally looked up at the taxi driver who was waiting for his order and, with a slight gesture of acceptance, gave him that address in the first place.

The sooner the better ...

Arthit entered through the main door of the conglomerate with quick steps and an expression of concern on his face.

Five minutes.

He was delayed for five minutes.

And to think he had left the store earlier than ever ....

"I hope I won't see him today" - though the young man while waiting for the elevator doors to open.

However, that day  he was not so lucky because, when the doors finally opened, a man looked up from the marble floor and smiled happily when he saw the boy who was only a few steps away from him.

- "Hello Arthit" - greeted Toptap without moving from his place inside the small elevator.

The young man sighed mentally as he tried, with considerable difficulty, to maintain a calm expression on his face.

- "Good morning" - he finally answered as he entered the elevator and placed himself in the furthest place and with the bags of sweets between Toptap and himself.

The man smiled as he watched Arthit's behavior and, after the doors closed, he walked a few steps until he was only inches from the boy's back.

- "You are more beautiful than ever" - commented Toptap while looking at the pale skin that was showing because of the wet shirt - "your skin looks so soft that I want to go through it with my tongue to see if it tastes as good as it looks ... "

Arthit paled as he counted the seconds so that the elevator doors would open and he would be able to escape from that man and his words that were making him feel disgust and revulsion.

More than once he had thought about breaking the contract.

However, he could not afford the penalty it would entail and, in addition, they needed the money to pay the debts of his family.

But the situation was, without doubt, increasingly unsustainable.

First had been the lustful looks and innuendos.

Then the touches, apparently innocent.

And now he had passed to these kind of comments?

It was too much!

- "Do I need to remind you that I am engaged?" - said Arthit as he turned, frowning, towards the man who had just placed a hand on his shoulder. 

Obviously with the intention of attracting him to himself.

- "Surely he is not a better catch than me" - replied Toptap with a sensual smile on his face - "and is not that he have to find out ..."

Arthit gave him a look of disgust that made the man stop smiling.

- "Sorry but your proposal does not interest me" - said the young man just when the doors opened.

After which the boy turned around and left the device leaving Toptap with an expression of anger on his face.

- "I have never been rejected, Arthit" - the man muttered while watching the boy turn a corner-"and you will not be the first to do it. You will be mine ... you'll see!"

-----------------

Meanwhile, sitting in one of the armchairs of a small but homely apartment, Kongpob smiled as he listened to the young man that was on his knees and in front of him point out how quickly his leg was healing.

- "If everything continues like this, you will be able to leave the crutches by the end of the week" - said Chanyeol as he finished cleaning the wound and proceeded to bandage it again.

Kongpob was SO happy with the news.

Soon he would be able to walk again without problems, which would allow him to help Arthit in the pastry shop and spend more time with him.

As, no doubt, his fiancee was working too much .. and spending to little time with  him!

But now... now everything will change...

- "Will I be able to have a normal life?" - Kong asked with the illusion marked on his face.

However, before Chanyeol could even respond, shouts began to be heard on the street.

Right in front of the building's door.

- "Baek!" - exclaimed a man's voice that caused Kong, frowning, to take one of the crutches and come as fast as he could to the window of the small room where he was.

There, just in front of the main door of the building, a man had grabbed Arthit's brother arm and was shaking him as he tried to take him to a vehicle parked on the road that had the doors opened.

Kongpob headed for the apartment door, followed closely by Chanyeol. 

When he finally managed to get to where Baek and the man were, several phrases made him stop completely paralyzed in shock.

- "What have you done with my car so that the police have shown up at my house ?!" - Suho exclaimed as he tried again to take Baek back to the vehicle - "You're going to the police station and you're going to fix this or I will do it! "
