Café Pit-a-Pat - Season 1 (COMPLETE)

Chapter 31

"You did what?!"

At Kimmon's panicked yelp, Bas winced and immediately pressed his hands together towards the senior as an apologetic gesture.

"Sorry, P'! I was drunk, and...and it sort of slipped out," Bas explained, still looking very guilty.

Disbelief evident on his features, Kimmon creased his brow. "Sort of slipped out?!"

Wearing a sheepish expression, Bas nodded. "Yeah."

Feeling a massive headache coming on, Kimmon groaned while raking his fingers through his hair. Admittedly, he had already been a little upset by the fact that Copter couldn't recall anything that had happened last night. Which was, of course, exactly in line with what he had predicted. But, even though it didn't take him by surprise, Kimmon couldn't help but feel rather disappointed. Disheartened that his sweet moments with Copter were stored only inside his own memories once again. And, now, upon hearing Bas's confession, Kimmon's previously dampened mood rapidly fell to new lows.

Despite the fact that he was quite agitated about Bas's actions, though, Kimmon couldn't bring himself to actually be angry at his cousin. Mostly because Bas was (intentionally) flinging his kicked puppy eyes at him and making Kimmon feel like it was all his fault. And maybe it partly was. Thinking back on it now, he really shouldn't have created any situation where Bas would be left alone with Godt. Especially when Bas was in a dangerously drunken state that increased the possibility of him spewing out such misguided threats at Godt.

"Hey, maybe it's better this way," Bas opined before determination spread across his face. "No, it's definitely better this way!"

"How is this better?" Kimmon asked back, exasperation heavy in his voice.

"Because now you don't have to worry about P'Godt. Look!" Bas said proudly as he pointed his finger at the open kitchen. "I think he definitely got the message. He hasn't been sending his usual love vibes to P'Ter today."

Upon Bas's insistence, Kimmon took a furtive glimpse towards Godt's direction. And he found that, indeed, consistent with the junior's observations, Godt appeared much more reserved than before. Particularly, in stark contrast with his typical self, he was acting distant around Copter, with whom Godt seemed to avoid engaging in any unnecessary interaction. To the point where even Copter looked like he noticed that something was off.

Kimmon's afflicted eyes subsequently fixated on Copter, who kept glancing at Godt every once in a while. Reading the blatant confusion and worry on Copter's face, Kimmon chewed on his lips, feeling progressively conscience-stricken. But what the hell was he supposed to do?! Tell Godt the truth? Confess that Copter wasn't actually dating him? Reveal that he and Copter were just fake lovers? And why should he do anything that encouraged Godt to continue to make advances at Copter?!

Because Copter liked Godt, his mind painfully reminded him. And, consequently, Copter would be much happier if he ended up with Godt. Instead of with you.
