Another Me, and You

Fragment No. 8

He is floating. It was dark and cold, just like what he feels when he woke up in Kong's bed half a year ago. The strange feeling that envelop him, Arthit now knew to never fear it. So he move forward, only to be held by an invisible wall.

Slowly, ever slowly, the darkness clearing. He can see now that he was caged by a glass box. But there's something more surprising than this, as he can see the scene in front of him.

He saw Kong sitting alone in a studio, papers strewn everywhere in front of him, guitar on his left side, and keyboard on his right. After a close inspection, hey.. this is not Kongphob he knew! His Kong doesn't have piercing on his ears!

Arthit felt indignant. Why the hell should he be trapped inside this glass cage and was force to see another Kongphob? Well, he wants to complain, but the complaint died down when the door of the studio was opened.

It was.. me?

The Arthit inside the studio smile indulgingly at Kong who still busy writing something. There's a soft smile decorating that Arthit's face as he approached the one who sitting busily.

"Kong." That Arthit tried to gain attention. When there's no answer, he patted another Kong's shoulder, which resulted in the latter to jolt in surprise.

"Shit! Fucking hell, it shatters now!"

Ohhoo.. Arthit didn't know that Kong could curse like that. Hey, wait. Kong never curses this bad.

The Arthit in the studio raised one of his eyebrows and placed his hands on his hips. Once the other Kong realized what he had done, he smiled sheepishly and apologized to him.

"Oh.. P' Arthit khrub.. I'm sorry to stay so late in here na.."

"Are you going to sleep now, or do you want me to locked you out of the bedroom again?" that Arthit threatened.

"Sleep! I will sleep right now! No more working, promise!" that other Kong immediately clearing the papers and getting all the tools in the right places while that Arthit sighed helplessly.

Huh. This Kong also look silly. Maybe because.. he is a hopeless fool in love? Arthit can see how in love this Kong to another him. they look good together, fit like a puzzle found its mate.

Realization hit him.

Does what he sees.. is this his universe? Does it mean.. the Kong in front of him is the Kong he supposedly or not supposedly met in his universe? And that Arthit.. is that mean they changed universe?

Does it mean he can have Kong, his junior in university?

Arthit.. began to hope as the darkness engulfed him once again.
