Love Me Back!

Part 26

-Mistakes everywhere, not edited-

Tee can see Tae is not happy and Tae is keeping something from him, deep in his heart. Tee is here to send meat bun to Tae like usual but that doctor seems distracted.

"Phi, I will go now. Phi don't want to talk to Tee" sulks Tee and wear his helmet with a long pout.

Tae holds Tee's hand and smile at his sulking boyfriend. His mind is full with a lot of problems.

"I'm sorry. I've a lot to think right now"

"it's okay. Phi can think and I will go continue my work" Tee get on his bike. Tae smiles softly and make Tee to look at him.

"I will have dinner at your work place. I want to tell you something" said Tae serious and Tee get sweaty. He is scared right now.

"Phi, if you want to break up tell me now so that I can hit you with my bike" threatened Tee and Tae chuckles.

"No Tee. It's not about breaking up its about our  future together. About our family. Okay?"

Tee smiles return and he nods his head. He wants to know Tae's family too. Tee kiss Tae's cheek and left. He knows he can't let Tee go no matter what. He loves Tee so much.

Tae waits for Tee to finish his work and he can't stop smiling watching his boyfriend working so hard, Tee sometimes winks to Tae, flirting. Copter almost vomits blood watching his best friend doing that 

Tee serves his last customer and come to Tae with a plate of fried rice. Tee smiles and Tae can't stop his hands to wipe Tee's sweat. Tee smiles wide and lean his head to Tae's hand.

"your drinks!" Copter put two glasses on the table, a bit harsh. Tae chuckles but Tee glares hard.

"go away, nuisance" mutters Tee and Copter wants to smack Tee's head but Kim comes and hug his boyfriend.

"enjoy your meal" Kim pulls Copter out of their way.

Why Copter wants to fight with Tee so much? Tae just enjoy their argument especially when Tee stick out his tongue to Copter.

Tee actually forgot why they are meeting this night because he is too happy to spend time with Tae but Tae can't stop fidgeting, he is nervous.

"Tee" Tae pulls Tee's hand and put it in his hand, he grabs it tight.

Tee blinks a few times before he realise what he forgot.

"yeah, we want to talk right?" ask Tee still smiling, Tae afraid that smile will disappear after his words.

"Tee, I  don't know what my parent think about gay couple" mutters Tae softly. Giving time to his lover understand where is the conversation about and leading to.

Tee maintain quiet because he needs to register what Tae mean. Tee looks around before he looks at Tae in the eyes.

"so? What are you trying to say phi?" ask Tee slowly, he is scared right now. They just got together for two months but they need to face it already, break up?

"don't think nonsense." Tae touch Tee's cheeks, he can clearly see Tee is sad right now and thinking about the worse thing ever.

"I'm not breaking up with you. I want to introduce you to my parent but I want to drop some hint first. I don't want them to be shocked" explains Tae desperate to make sure Tee understand his words.

"then, we don't need to tell them now. We can keep it secret" answer Tee back, for Tee everything is easy because for him all he wants is to be with Tae, he never thought about the far future because he is happy with what they have now.

Tae sighs and holds Tee's shoulders. He doesn't know how to explain the situation they are having right now.

"Mint, my ex know about us and she tried to get back with me. She and her family met my family to tie us together. I rejected it but my parent know and love her so much. She threatened me, she will expose us to them if I keep rejecting her" explains Tae fast, he hopes Tee will take it well.

Tee listens carefully and he can't stop thinking that they are like the drama in the tv. Tee sighs and holds Tae's hands tight. He already got the answer and solution for this problem.

"Phi, let's break up" decides Tee and he gets up from his chair. Tae lost for words and try to grabs Tee's hand but Tee shove it away. Tee can't stop his tears from flowing and he never wants to show that he is strong too, he is weak, really weak.

"Tee" Tae calls Tee and Tee stops on his track. He can't look at Tae right now because he will run to the doctor and force the doctor to stay with him.

"Tee, what are you talking about? I'm trying to keep our relationship. I love you" Tae mutters three last words slowly he can't believe his ears, Tee wants to end their relationship, just like that. He hopes for more.

"Phi, I know how hurt it is to be hated by your parent. I'm not trying to be selfish this time so I will back off. Phi, lovers can be find but parent are not" explain Tee without looking at Tae at all. He wants to hug Tae and said that both of them will face it together but who he wants to lie?

His parent adore and love Godt so much but they also treat Godt like rubbish when Godt said he is gay. He doesn't want Tae to face it too, the hatred from the people he loves so much.

"Tee, don't do this to me...please" begs Tae and Tee can't stop his tears from falling, it's hurt so much right now but for Tee, he thinks he is doing his best.

"Phi Tae, I've grow up with my parent's hatred but it still hurt me till today, on how they hate and treat me. I don't want you to face it, it's hurt Phi, it's really hurt that I always think about dying before. So please, please be happy" begs Tee too.

"you want me to marry Mint? You know she cheated on me right?" ask Tae and right now he is standing really close to Tee, he wants to hold Tee so much better because he can see Tee's shoulder is shaking because Tee is crying.

"You can choose anyone that you like and love phi. You loved her before, maybe the love is still there, maybe she is changed, I don't know phi" mutters Tee slowly, he is broken inside.

"You said I can choose anyone right, I choose you Tee. I choose you" state Tae firmly, he grabs Tee's arm and make Tee to look at him.

Tae wipes Tee's tears and hugs the smaller man into his arms. He promised to make Tee happy but today he hurts Tee again.

What should I do? Tae is confused and stuck with this.

"please let me think of something. I'm sure we can face it together Tee. Don't throw me away" begs Tae to Tee again.

Tee sighs and look at Tae. It's not like he is throwing Tae away, he just want to make it easy for Tae.

"I'm going phi, take care" Tee gets out from the warm embrace and look at Tae. He cups Tae's face softly.

"I love you" mutters Tee and kiss Tae's lips for a brief moment.

That was their first kiss, but none of them like the kiss taste of tears. It's not sweet at all.

But Tee leaves, Tae stands there like a dead body.
