You Belong to Me

Chapter 17

Knot and Bright each dragged an unconscious body from the dirty bathroom. They'd never seen Kongpop like this and it definitely shook them. He's never killed a person before, yet he didn't even blink when stabbing that bastard.

"What are we gonna do about them? A car accident or suicide?" Knot asked after a while. Bright kept quiet, thinking about something completely else.

"We could do alcohol poisoning as well, they had all a bad addiction habit. Maybe overdose doesn't sound bad either." Knot spoke again but Bright's eyes seemed hollow.

"Man, what's wrong with you? You're not even spacing out anymore, you became the space itself." He frowned after Bright still didn't react. He was dragging the body but looked more like a corpse himself.

"...I'm a bit tired." He finally replied. Knot waited for a longer time, but Bright ended his explanation there.

"Is it because of Rome?"

A silence followed, but Bright gave himself away when he frowned a bit.

"I'm correct then." Knot concluded. "I understand and won't ask you ever again. If you want to talk though, I'm always here and I don't judge." He assured him. Bright shook his head.

"It's not like you cannot ask. I just don't know what to tell you. I don't even know what to think, my head is a mess." He started to open up once he felt like he wasn't pushed anymore. "I thought we were becoming a thing, you know? But he's been so weird lately. We used to sleep with our beds pushed together, now he intentionally parts them. He's been avoiding me for weeks now." Bright let out a heavy sigh.

"Whenever I try to talk it out, he chickens out and makes a silly excuse." He continued. "For example, he left suddenly last time cuz' he needed to clean up his car. He doesn't even have a car!" Bright half-yelled with an upset expression. Knot listened to him with a serious face.

"I don't know what to do, man. It's driving me crazy." He whispered so his voice wouldn't crack.

"I think you need to give him some time and space. You can stay at Arthit's room, for the time being, I bet Kong won't ever let him go back. It will only help you to take a break from each other. You love him, don't you? You have for a long time now. You are clear about what you want and how you feel, but it might not be the same for Rome. Let him figure it out himself." Knot said his opinion after thinking it through.

"I'm scared it will kill the last bits of the relationship we have. At least I get to see him a few times a day, I get to see his sleepy expression in the morning, how he frowns when I try to peek at him when he changes... fuck..." Bright's eyes filled up a bit when he thought of losing it all, but a few blinks made the urge to cry go away.

"You can't hold onto him if he wants to let go. In the end, you will have to accept the truth and his decision, whether he wants to be with you or not." Knot stated the facts.

"I know you're right but I really don't like it, any of it." Bright muttered. "But I will move to Arthit's room since Rome withdraws from me so much." He finished.

"Since we kind of settled your issue for now, can we decide what to do with these?" Knot pointed out and looked at the two still unconscious bodies.

"Let's go with a car accident, they are the easiest."

The moment Kong fell on Arthit, their eyes met. Their faces were only inches apart and the time slowed down. A few long seconds passed before Kongpop reacted.

He opened his mouth in surprise and closed it afterward as he needed to get up before apologizing. Arthit's face was all red and his eyes were slowly closing as he waited till Kong gets off him.

He could clearly feel how hot Kongpop's body is thanks to the fact that Kong was shirtless. He must have been in the middle of changing himself when Arthit called him.

Their crotches were pressed together and it started to feel weird. Arthit waited for a moment for Kong to finally get off him but he didn't move, only opened and closed his mouth.

The more they stayed like that, the more the warmth from Kongpop spread to Arthit. His cheeks were burning, his body was slowly tingling and he started to react down there.

"Get off me, will you?!" Arthit finally couldn't stand it anymore and pushed Kong away.

Kongpop, who was till that moment enjoying how close he was to Arthit, came to himself. "I'm so sorry." He started apologizing and quickly got off. Arthit stood up as well while one of his hands entered his pocket. The wet jeans he was wearing were especially tight and revealing.

"Did I hurt you? Are you alright? Is your leg okay?" Kong asked worriedly when he noticed how strangely Arthit was standing.

"Yeah, you just surprised me. And you're so heavy! Don't ever do this again." Arthit spurted out random things while panicking. He was so embarrassed and wanted to run away, but that would be even weirder.

He's never been this close to someone, he's never felt someone's warmth nor crotch pressed against his before. The reaction he got was only natural, it was natural. It didn't mean anything, his body reacted against his will.

Arthit assured himself in his mind while subconsciously staring at Kong's half-naked body. The six-pack on his stomach was especially standing out.

"You like what you see?" Kongpop asked with a smirk without thinking twice. Arthit was almost raped that day, and here he was trying to flirt with him. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." He quickly took his words back. "Be careful from now on and call me if you need anything." Kong left the bathroom in order not to make things even worse. I'm an idiot. He thought while beating himself over for what he said.

But in fact, he wasn't wrong. Arthit liked what he saw.

First day at school and I already need another break. I just came home from Thailand (yesterday), still got a huge jet-lag and will sleep around 4 hours today, but it's definitely worth it.

It felt so good to write again, I'm so happy to be back. I missed you all, my dears! Thank you for your patience, the wait is over! I'll try to update every Tuesday from now on, I hope it will work out. Love you! ~
