Another Me, and You

Fragment No. 4

He spent a few days in the hospital. His parents forbade him to do anything strenuous so he ended up holed in his bedroom for the remaining days of his break. Namtarn visited a few times, making sure that he was okay.

He decided to hide the incident from his friends. He feels dissonant. He doubt everything that happened to him. he passed the time looking through all the photos and belongings he had and canvassing his social media. Many things looked the same, but there are some subtle differences. It was nothing major and could be overlooked if you hadn't search serious enough.

Arthit inside the memories looks softer. He acted like a tsundere and keep all his feeling and worries closed to his heart. Him? He was more outspoken, and straight-forward. He rather feel the lost rather than wondering if what he did would change anything.

Arthit inside the memories likes to keep all the mementos. Him? he wondered if he still had even the photo of him with Namtarn and Jay.

This Arthit that was saved in all of it, feels like another him.

I'm not the Arthit from here.

He wants to laugh out loud. To ridiculed this notion. But he has the proof. Namtarn also helped him to sort out his memory. He was Arthit. But also not.

What a joke.

After this revelation, he doesn't know what to do. for what, he wonders, that he had to go to this alternate universe.

On the third day before he had to go back to his dorm, a chime from his phone alerted him. the sender of the text, shocked him even more.

It was Kongphob.

"Phi.. can we really start over?"

Arthit gulped. He gripped the phone tighter on his hands. A feeling told him that the unfinished business lays on Kongphob. The junior that should be his lover. He was the only major thing that happened in his supposedly 'lost year'.

Will it be right if we do this? What if the real Arthit shows up and.. a dull ache nipped at his heart. What is he thinking? Would he really fall in love with this junior?

Huh. Arthit let out a chuckle. He wondered if it would truly happened and he was sent back to his universe, would he had to do something to get Kongphob from his universe to love him back?

But.. would he be the same person Arthit loves, then?

Arthit let out a sigh. Decision.. he has to make it so he can move forward.

In the end, he sent out a simple text.

"Yeah."
