Memoirs Of The Past ( On Going )

MP13

"Okay. What exactly are you doing here, Mr Gemini Norawit Titicharoenrak?"

Fourth with his annoyed tone. He's following his boss/ex-best friend's large strides towards their sala.

"Where's Aunty?"

"Wait...Stop!" Thankfully he was able to cope up with his pace and grab his arm.

"Fotfot, I asked you first. Where is aunty?"

Ugh, this guy is now starting to get into my nerves 😡.

"She's upstairs. In her room."

"How about your stepsister? I'd just heard that she was already discharged." The older asked once more but this time, he is looking at the picture frames displayed on one of the cabinets in the sala. Mostly are pictures of Fourth and his sister. However, what caught Gemini's attention was the small picture of a sleeping Fourth when he was a kid. He's not dressed up like a girl in the photo anymore but his hair was still long.

"Hey, are you listening to me? You're smiling like a lunatic. Look, I've been standing here talking at you but it seems like you're not even listening-"---" You're cute."

"What?"

"I said, you're cute in this photo." Gemini said as he still focuses on the picture.

Fourth on the other hand, felt awkward because of it. Yes, he is always hearing Gemini saying the same thing before but that was when he thinks that he's a girl but now, the same word hits differently in Fourth's ears.

"How have you been?" Gemini breaks the silence.

"Uhm...I'm fine. Surviving life so far." Fourth answered with a bit of loneliness in his eyes. After all the burden that he went through, life has been a great battle for him.

"Look, Gemini. I do want to chitchat with you right now, talk about life like before but I'm really confused as to why are you here? In my house?" Fourth continues.

The older heave a deep sigh.

Averting his gaze from the latter's childhood picture, he faced Fourth.

"To be honest, I don't know!!!" Gemini exclaimed like frustration was eating him. The boy next door expression is all gone. What Fourth is seeing now is a stressed looking Gemini who wants an answer to a lot of question in his mind.

"Stop shouting! There are patients in this house!" Fourth scolds the latter with a raised brow.

"I'm sorry. It's just that I want to ask you a lot of question and I don't know where to start." The older coed with discomfort while scratching the back of his head. A mannerism that Fourth witnessed for years. They stayed like that for a few secs before a head pops up from one of the rooms upstairs.

"Something wrong Sir?"

"Wait.what?..another one? Are you making this place of yours a hotel or something?"

"Shut up! He is Tu's nurse." Fourth glared at the older because he's acting inappropriately. "There's nothing wrong Khun. By the way, this is Gemini. Gem, this is Dunk. My sister's resident nurse."

"Sawadee Sir Gem. Pleased to meet you." The nurse wai at Gemini which was answered by a nod.

"Then if there's nothing wrong, I will go back to my patient." The nurse excused himself.

Once they are alone again, Fourth felt awkward again while facing his boss.

"Some habits never changed. Aren't they?"

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Fourth asked out of confusion.

Gemini smiled. A genuine one.

"Scratching your neck if your shy is your habit that I have the fun of watching. Ever since we were kids"
