OTHER HALF ( Kongpob | Arthit )

48. " encounter "

It's been two weeks since kongpob came Back from Japan, he is now back to school again. The dean gave kongpob a chance to either graduate or continue his fourth year in consideration for Karl suthiluck kongpob's father who has always been helping and supporting their university ever since he graduated from there.

That's why kongpob is currently busy doing his project something he needs if he wants to graduate even though what he really wants to do was to hurriedly help his father around their business and clan, however, his father gave him a condition for allowing him to take over and that is for him to graduate first.

Until now, Karl didn't say a word to kongpob about his unexpected encounter with arthit he also asked his retainer to keep about this matter, he still can't decide whether if it's a good thing for kongpob to know about arthit or not because the way arthit gave them vibes he felt that it will be better if his son will just continue to think that arthit has died.

Because kongpob finally trying to pull himself together again and if kongpob knows about arthit resurrection he is so sure that kongpob's life will be thrown in disarray again just like when they thought arthit had died.

However, no secrets are to be kept forever, secrets are always bound to be discovered, to be found out and to be known. Karl never thought the chances that kongpob will meet arthit again to the least most place they expected... The University.

**********

Ever since arthit came back to Thailand from Japan, he kept feeling nostalgic and can't help himself from reminiscing ever so often about his lover kongpob even though he kept saying to his self to stop thinking about the other, even he was now acting like he doesn't care about anyone and have decided to take revenge at any means necessary and trying his best to kill his emotions.

However he still always found his self on a place where everything started, where he had spent his happiest time, where he first met... Kongpob...

Whenever he started remembering kongpob he will wander around the city and without a doubt will be ended up in their university, he would sneak his way there as not to get seen by people who knows him and will just lay in the middle of the gymnasium staring at the ceiling while remembering everything that he has shared with kongpob.

unknowingly even to him a smile and a warm gaze will always spring up his lips and eyes. However, while he was doing this it's just resulting to him becoming sadder as the coldness of the floor runs in his back, his longing for kongpob just kept growing more and it just makes him waver...

Just like any other time that here was here whenever he missed kongpob, right now those very memories are pinching his heart yet again.

********

Looking around the school makes kongpob sad and happy at the same time, he's on his break from doing his projects and decided to walk around the campus where his feet led him in front of the gymnasium. Kongpob open the twin door, he doesn't know what he expects by doing these silly things but he so badly wanted to on a place where it could remind him of arthit.

He's done running away from the pain of losing his mate he nam wants to face that pain, he knows very well he wouldn't able to regain his former self, move on or even forget about the younger still... He has too, for those people that have been waiting for him...

Kongpob felt that time almost stop or it went into slow motion the moment he noticed the boy that's has been laying in the floor who it seems still haven't noticed his presence.

Kongpob took a deep breath before walking as he tightly fist his hands afraid that what he is seeing is just a manifestation of his imagination, it's not the first time that he is seeing arthit after the younger died, he always saw him but the moment he stepped closer that arthit Will also disappear leaving him with disappointment and a broken heart all over again.

Stop it kong, it's just one of your imagination again. Kongpob thought, however, his feet seem not listening to him. You know it's impossible for him to be here, you'll end up miserable again.

Arthit who has gotten a habit of falling asleep whenever he came here in the gymnasium in his previous university, this place is like a sanctuary for him, it makes him feels at ease to the point he just unconsciously fell asleep unlike when he is not in here.

Arthit felt droplets of water falling to his cheek and a sensation of someone's touch that touch feels oddly warm for him even though his entire body was icy cold but his cheek is warm. His eyes flutter open, showing a still kinda blurry figure of someone crying never the less he still could very well recognize that figure. He thought he was just dreaming, and in this dreamlike moment for him.

He extends his arms to that person's neck and pulls the other's down. " phi, I miss you " he mumbles as he kisses him. And as if he finally coming to his senses because of the surreal sensation his lips are currently feeling, he frowns as he jerks away from the man from him.

Arthit stuns frozen, seeing kongpob in front of him kongpob also has a shock impression on his face and adorned with bits of tears. " you... You're eyes...  Why? How? " kongpob ask still can't believe what's in front of him.

" ... " arthit looks away from kongpob as if he's ashamed because of his eyes.

" you've become a vampire? Then... Why didn't you come back? Why didn't you find me?. "

Arthit seems can't find any words to say and decided to just leave. " ... " he stands up and turns his back to kongpob Who grab his wrist a soon us he saw arthit getting up. " are you, blaming me for what happened to you?... And auntie? " kongpob voice become shaky as new streams of tears fall down again.

Arthit clenches his fist and will himself not to look back at the person who is stopping him from leaving." i..." he starts off. "I don't blame you... However, i... I detest your kind kongpob, your people robbed me off of my most precious person, the life that I built with the people I loved and I'm... I want to get back to those people Who robbed me off of everything I had. "

Kongpob twitches hearing arthit called him kongpob and not phi which arthit always called him with affection. After saying what he wants arthit peeled off kongpob hand from his wrist and started walking away.

" so you want revenge is that it? " kongpob shout at the retreating back of arthit after finally understanding the younger's words. " you know, innocent people will be mixed up in your plan of revenge, my family, my friends... Your friends as well and many more who has nothing to do with what happened to auntie. "

Arthit stop his step but still not turning his back to face the other." then, stop me kongpob. " his willing out the shakiness of his voice. " stop me before I do what you feared because I don't plan on stopping until I avenge my ka-san... But I'll say this kongpob if you want to stop me make sure you resolve to kill me before doing so. " he then continue walking as tears fall down his eyes.

I'm sorry... Arthit thought. I'm sorry, I know I'm being cruel and unfair to you but... I still can't let go what happened to my mother, so... I'm sorry for the things I'm about to do.

Kongpob stayed in the floor crying his eyes out. Once again, I didn't manage to keep you... Why does it have to be like this? Why am I so useless? I'm I really that insignificant to you huh arthit?!
