Chances on Love

Face Off

Tuk looked at the sleeping man..

He followed him earlier as he got worried.
He saw his face paled after speaking with the nurse and saw him slowly falling down.

"What is happening?" Tuk asked himself as he was just in time to catch his fall..

He immediately rushed him to the emergency room where the nurse accompanied him.

He was quickly attended by the doctor after.

"What is wrong with me?"
Tuk asked himself..

He was never really interested in anyone,
especially, if it's a guy..
but this man.. he makes me feel really weird..
Whenever I see Pete..
I feel really happy and excited..

"Is there even a man like this?"
Tuk said having the chance to scrutinize the unconscious Pete..

"Why is he so white and his lips so pink like strawberries..?"
"His skin is so smooth and not a single pore exist?!"

"Heck?! shit.."
Tuk scolded himself for making a sin as he was studying the unconscious man's physique in a not so normal way.

The nurse went inside and bought Pete's phone.. saying she was able to talk to someone who just called the in.

He thanked the nurse and continued to admire the beauty of the man lying in the hospital bed.

He couldn't help it..
there was a force like gravity that was inviting him to touch the his face...

He remembered how his body felt on his arms earlier..

He was so soft and smelled really good.

Tuk sighed,
"God forbid him, I know it's not right to do this.. but
Pete's beauty is undeniably breathtaking."

His fingers were trembling while he traces Pete's forehead, then went to touch the lining of his nose up to his lips which was slightly parted in his sleep..

He felt crazy good at it was his first to touch another man's lips and he was really weirded with himself..

The door suddenly opened and Tuk wasn't able to remove his hand immediately away from Pete and emerged was a man whose head was bandaged dressed in a hospital gown..

The newly arrived man's eyes were like bullets ready to shoot as he spoke in a possessive and angry manner..

"What the hell are you doing to Pete?!"

Tuk removed his hand then stood up challenging Ae's stare.

They stayed there face to face, each eyes blazing with fire..

Then they heard Pete groaned and slowly awoken..

"Tuk.." l
He whispered as his sight caught the nearest person to him..

"What am I..."
then stopped when he saw Ae beside the door..

Pete immediately stood up ignoring Tuk and rushed to embrace Ae..

"Oh my God.. Ae.. I was so worried.. Are you okay?!" Pete's emotions flowed out as he softly whimpered..

Ae hugged Pete back posseeively while glaring angrily at Tuk.
"Shhhh.. I'm fine.. Just a little accident.."
Ae felt relieved as Pete was okay too.

Tuk interrupted the moment of the two as he cleared his throat to get their attention.
"Ehermm, Guess you're okay.. so I'll take my leave."

Pete wiped his tears.. then looked at Tuk..
"I'm sorry Tuk.. and thank you again.."
remembering how he fainted and Tuk attending to him.

"Oh sorry," Pete said as the two haven't met yet.

"Ae, this is Tuk.. and Tuk... this is Ae.. my boyfriend.." Pete introduced the two..

Tuk smiled sweetly but not looking at Ae..
"Well, it's nice to meet you.. I'll leave you two now."
Then he passed Ae's shoulder while heading towards the door.

Ae answered in a whisper making sure it was enough for the other to hear when their shoulder's grazed each other.. "Guess I couldn't say the same.."

Tuk just looked at him nonchalantly then grinned and ignored Ae but looked at Pete..

"I'll see you around Pete.." Then he went outside.

Ae stiffened.
He felt blood rushing through his head and sighed..
"Bastard", Ae wanted to punch Tuk who just left as he caught him touching Pete and his innocent lover doesn't have any idea of what just happened."

He looked at Pete who was touching his head worriedly as it was bandaged.

"Does it hurt Ae?" He asked sadly..
"I'm fine Pete.. Just a scratch."
"They just wanted to make sure that I didn't hit my head bad.. So I'll have to go through some series of test's later.." Ae smiled assuringly.

Pete released a sigh..
"I was so worried about you... I couldn't contact you..."

"Did anyone from the office called you?" asked Ae..

"No... I..... I... saw your mother... so I followed her.."
Pete relaying the details but avoiding eye contact.

Ae stood silent..

"How is she?" Pete asked..

Ae looked at Pete...
"She's doing good.. She's in my room.."
"Would you like to come and greet her?"

Pete stopped and paused..
In his mind he was thinking of an excuse.. but if he will decline Ae's invitation then.. Ae will wonder why..

"But can I really face his mother?", Pete asked himself.

Ae after seeing Pete's uncertainty suggested instead,
"You can see her later.. just rest first okay.. you're still shaken up and your face is still pale.."

Pete smiled and hugged Ae's waist..
"I'm glad you're okay Ae.. I was really worried.."

Ae kissed his head...
"I told you.. As long as you're here Pete.. I will always be okay.."

Then Ae asked softly..
"If there is something that I don't know.. If there's something I need to know.. Please tell me Pete."

Pete froze and Ae felt it..
His hug tightened but he still never said anything..

"Pete.." Ae said commanding the other to look at him..

Pete avoided his gaze..
"Maybe it's about time we talk about what happened.... almost six years ago..."

"Ae...." his eyes widened..

Then a knock on the door made the two startled...

The door opened and a woman came inside..

"So, It's true you're back Pete..."
Said the smiling woman who came in.

Pete felt a big lump on his throat and couldn't utter a word...

Pete thanked the nurse who came knocking in breaking the awkwardness inside the room..

"Sir, it's time for your CT scan.." called the nurse while looking at Ae..

Ae excused himself.. leaving the two..

Face to face..
