5. Let's Break Up

P'Off.....

Let's break up

A few hours before

"Your cute BF is on his way!"
Tay point with his chin.
Off turn his body, and see a little boy come to their place. Sulk.
He just takes a sigh.

"What's now, Peng?" Tay ask while stare at his bestfriend.

That boy stop his feet right before open the door. And when his foot take its first step to the room, his face change. A sweet smile plaster on his face.

"GUN!" New shout to him. He run to him and give him a box of cake. And sit between Tay and New.
"Thanks. Sorry for left this in your fridge. I forgot to bring it home with me yesterday."

He just shake his head. Then open his bag to search something.

"Pet, please give this to Krist. I forget to bring this nomyen yesterday. He can give me back the thumbler tomorrow."
He stand up and start to walk, but stop when Tay call him.

"Gun..."

He turn around and lean closer to Tay, and smile.
"I'm just tired a bit, P'Tay. I'm gonna sleep for a moment."

"Auh.. You hang out with him again?"

"Him? Who?"

"Nevermind. Take a rest. I'll call you when the time comes," answer Tay.

Gun walk to the door, open it, and leave the room.

Tay stare at Off. "What is that, OFF?"

"Mook...."

"Shit, Peng!!" Tay smash Off on his back.

"But, why? Does he agree to walk with you while you still with her, even he put Babii for one of the reason?"

"Because...... I forgot my promise to stayed at his condo to watch new movies for a night after our hectic week."

"You domed, Off."

"Yes, I am."

"What did he do then?" Asked Tay after bring Krist's nomyen to the boy who sit on his BF's lap across them,

"Well, he didn't lock his condo. He just watched the movies in silent. Didn't looked me when I greeted him. Didn't laugh when the movie turn to family comedy.

Even when he went to the his room and left me alone, he still kept silent. When I reached him in his room, he lay on his bed already, and covered with the duvet. He spoke no words when I kissed his cheek.

And then, I realized something when I sat on the edge of his bed. He draw with fluorescence paint on the wall. That's the time I knew, that I'm doom."

"I'm the one who accompanied him to buy that paint, P'Off," Off hear someone speak behind him.
"That's why P'Gun bought that nomyen to Krist, for make up, because I must delay our plan."

"Yeah... Happy anniversary, P'," said Krist, who come closer to Singto, then they walk out, leave the room.

"And this cake," New lift his box, "I bought this when he ask me to go with to buy your favourite dessert. You can find that in his fridge. If still there."

Tay put his sharp dager to Off. But he doesn't say anything. His friends curse him already. Off just can look to the floor.

"Peng, it's your 3th anniversary. But you walk with him more than that time. Do you ever consider about him? Do you ever realize about your heart to him? Do you ever think about his heart?"

"I - ..."

"Let's start our practice... " a trainer come and cut Off.

"Talk to him. Make up fast. Before everything become mess. Before it's too late," Tay pat Off shoulder.

Because Tay knew something. He saw Off in jewelry shop one time and bought couple rings. And he knew the one who can make his bestfriend smile like that.

Gun come to the practice room with Krist, Singto, Chimon, and Drake. They join the line and start the day.
He still clingy around Off, like nothing happen before. But Off know that something off in his eyes. His smile doesn't reach to the eyes. And somehow, watch Gun keep smile and laugh, make some pain in his chest.

Practice finish almost around dinner time. They wrap the day and bid goodbye. Only the superior ships left behind.

Gun come closer to Off, who sit and chat with Tay about something.

"P'Off...," Gun stand in front of him.

"Gun, I wanna talk to you. Let's -"

"I'm tired....."

Off and Tay look at him. They know that something bad will come without the word "Papii" there.

"I'm tired of everything."

Suddenly the silent and coldness creep to the room. New, Singto, and Krist stop joking around, knowing the situation.

"Gun..."
"P'Off..."

Gun take a deep breath. His body is shaking. He feel the pain for holding his tears. But still fail because it still falls when he faces Off straigth to the eyes.

Off hold Gun' wrist. He feel something sting to his chest. He feel the fear inside him. He feel something wrong. He see tears. And he know he must move fast. Very fast.

"Gun...."

"Let's break up."

Off froze hear that 3 words. The other just can do nothing. They just watch that couple in silent.

"Gun..." Off try to reach Gun more, but he just retreat himself, and start to leave the room, and run.

Off let go his sobs. He can't stop the tears for keep comes down no matter he try.

"Gun......" He wishpers that name, the name he love the most.

Silent and coldness eat each of them.

I put "Let's Break Up" by Lee Seunggi on top.
His song is my inspiration to wrote this story.
Mind to listen that song, too.
