"I only agreed to this because you promised."  


At Neng's rather cranky reminder, Copter quickly nodded his head, hoping that his brother would finally step out of the car now.  


All thanks to Kimmon, the three of them had safely arrived in Korat within a few hours, and Kimmon's car was now parked right in the neighborhood of Sitta's house.  But, for some reason, Neng stayed put in his seat and didn't show any signs of getting up anytime soon.  Admittedly, he hadn't been so thrilled with the idea of returning back to Korat ever since Copter had initially brought it up.  


"You promised to answer our calls and texts, and you promised to come visit us now and then.  You promised not to cut us out of your life," Neng continued to grumble.  "You can't break that promise or else I'm going to come after you again."


"Okay.  I'll keep my promise," Copter assured his brother for what seemed like the millionth time.  


Feeling quite embarrassed by Neng's nonstop nagging, Copter stole a glance towards Kimmon's direction.  Although he could only catch a glimpse of Kimmon's face due to their current position, it looked like the senior was trying to hide a growing smile.  Damn it.  Inwardly groaning, Copter shifted his anxious eyes back to Neng.      


"I promise.  I really promise this time, Neng," Copter repeated, his voice laden with a hint of desperation.  "Are you ready to go now?" 


After sending a grumpy glare at Copter, Neng heaved out an unhappy sigh and finally got himself out of the car.  Relief overcoming his features, Copter made a move to follow his brother, intending to walk Neng over to the front of the house.      


"I'll wait here," Kimmon informed him with a soft smile. 


Copter returned a grateful one.  "Thanks, P'.  I'll be back in a minute." 


Although Neng still appeared irritated as hell, he patiently remained in place while Copter scrambled out of the car.  Only when his brother reached his side did Neng begin to walk forward, his footsteps progressively slowing down to match Copter's.  


Copter bit back a grin when he spotted the sulky pout on Neng's face.  Even though Neng had grown up to be a fine and matured young man, at times like this, he still acted like the baby brother that Copter happily remembered.       


"So is that guy your boyfriend?" Neng suddenly asked, snapping Copter out of his reverie.


Heat rapidly rising to his cheeks, Copter flinched.  "What?  No!" 


Neng snorted in disbelief.  "You both are madly in love with each other, but aren't dating?  Why the hell not?"


"It's...it's not like that," Copter stammered, feeling a bit horrified that his brother caught on to their situation so fast.
