[Kengkla x Techno] Unfinished Business (Love by Chance Fanfic)

Chapter 16 - Part 2

(A/N: Hopefully this long chapter makes up for the wait.)

It doesn't unlock the phone.

He lets out another sigh. This was a sign that he shouldn't be nosy. "Okay, okay," He mumbles to himself and puts the phone down. But after a few seconds, Techno picks it back up again. "I'll try one more thing."

What was important to Kengkla? Technic? Nah, they were just friends. His parents? No, they didn't seem to be on good terms. Maybe - damn, it's official. He's an idiot.

Techno's birthday unlocks the phone.

"Shit," He whispers to himself. Kengkla's background was almost a perfect match to his own. It's almost cute.

He starts swiping around Kengkla's phone, looking at his apps in innocent curiosity, when a Line message comes through. It's from Technic, and the preview reads:

Technic: did u end up getting a room? or u heading back?

At first, Techno thinks maybe Kengkla was just telling Technic about how they got stuck, but he realizes he's been with Kengkla the entire time and didn't see him on his phone once. Even though guilt nags at his mind, Techno reads the conversation anyway. It begins earlier today.

Kengkla: waiting for my wife. this interview is taking a while

Techno feels his face flame at the nickname.

Technic: it should be fast right? y does he even need to interview? didn't u talk to them?

Kengkla: yes. but p'no doesn't know. it has to look legit.

Technic: he'll probably blow it. then ur secret will be out. [laughing dog emoji]

Kengkla: the only thing he will be blowing is me when he gets the job.

Technic: disgusting dude [throwing up emoji]

Techno feels a sour weight in his stomach. Kengkla doesn't talk like this with him, doesn't make dirty jokes, and at first, it's all that upsets him. But the implications behind the entire message is clear. The entire interview was set up by Kengkla. Somehow, he's not sure how, but it's obvious from the message that Kengkla ensured he would eventually get the job.

The disgusting thing is that even his own brother was in on it.

Maybe, he tells himself, this was a one-time thing. Kengkla really wanted to help him, so he helped set up the interview. Maybe he was reading it wrong. He decided the only way to find out was to look through his older messages, despite how wrong it felt.

Kengkla: why haven't you told me about Dawn before?

Technic: oh so u met her? she's into P'No but he's too dumb to realize it.

Then a day later.

Kengkla: doesn't matter. He just rejected her. P'No is all mine now.

Technic: wow surpsied she got the courage to but what the f did u do to him? Why did P say no

Kengkla didn't answer after that, and Techno swallows loudly in the quiet room. Kengkla knew about Techno rejecting Dawn? Technic knew she was interested in him? He felt so foolish. He wonders how Kengkla knew. but after thinking back to that day, he thought maybe Kengkla overheard them. But the way Kengkla talked about Techno - it was like he was Kengkla's whore.

After that text, Techno couldn't stop, wanting to know the truth, and read the previous conversation, which began a week before.

Kengkla: p'no still won't answer my texts
