OTHER HALF ( Kongpob | Arthit )

36." farewell? "

Later that day arthit ask kongpob for them to drop by the park before they go home to their dorm, arthit decided to tell kongpob about his departure in that park.

And kongpob for some unknown reason keeps getting the feeling that he has to pull himself together and to tough as he can maybe because of what Forth told him earlier. " kong, whatever arthit tells you, please understand it's not really what he wants he's having a hard time too " that's what keeps repeating at kongpob's mind as they make their way towards the park.

Surely forth knows what really is going on in arthit's mind, what's making the younger's listless and what's bothering him the whole day.

" phi... " arthit starts off staring right in kongpob's eyes. " hmmm? " kongpob hums as an answer as he turns his attention to away from the swing that they're sitting on to arthit's intense gaze.

Arthit gulps a few times as a shaky sigh left his lips before he finally starts talking about his departure.

Kongpob listens to arthit word per word as he processes the new information that's coming in his heads he tries his best to understand all of it and be level headed about it.
On the other hand, as arthit's talking he can't help to feel that tugging sadness that's been pulling him the whole day, his voice started cracking as his eyes become blurry because of the tears that are threatening to falls down until finally he can't hold it anymore and let a few drops of his tears fall off his eyes.

Seeing this hurts kongpob more than the fact that they're about to be far away from each other. Kongpob gets up and crouches down in front of the crying arthit and holds the younger's hands and says." don't cry pup." giving the younger's hands a squeeze as if reassuring the younger's that everything will be okay as his other hand caress and wipes the stray tears from the younger's cheek.

However, instead of making arthit's stop from crying the gesture just makes arthit's tears to fall down uncontrollably as he throws his self to the older's arms and hugs him tight as he keeps saying." I'm sorry Phi, i really don't want to go but... I'm really sorry "

" shush..." kongpob caress arthit's head as he pats the younger's back." you have nothing to be sorry about, i understand why you have to leave so please don't cry anymore."

Arthit sobs more as kongpob said those things." why do you have to be understanding about this, when i myself don't get it but i don't even have the guts to oppose my ka-san." he complains between his hiccups and sobs.

Kongpob chuckles." actually, you made me nervous i thought you're about to break up with me... Turns out you just have to move." he said jokingly.

Arthit frowns as he pulls away from their hug." why would i break up with you when here i am crying my eyes out just because i don't want to be far away from you..." he pauses." actually, what's with you're just have to move? I'm not just moving to the countryside you know? It's freaking America miles away from you." he gives emphasize to every word

Laughing, kongpob nods his head." yeah, i know but I'm about to graduate soon so, I could just come to you afterward, right? I could go after you and live in the states with you after my graduation, no biggie." he says nonchalantly but sincere.

" You're awfully calm about this that i feel I'm not loved but i can't even be angry about it because you're just being understanding to my situation and I'm the one who agreed to it in the first place but still..." arthit grumbles, by now his tears finally stop from falling down as he hits kongpob's arm playfully.

" I'm not really calm about this you know, i just don't want to spend our limited time together being sad or you crying, i rather we spend it like we usually do and you being cheerful, cheeky and demanding boyfriend that you are. Is that wrong?."
