Touched Inks

Part 1 (End)

Bas stopped in the middle of the room, holding his favorite clutch bag ready to go, he turned around to see his P laying on the bed, legs stretching leisurely.
"You aren't going to go with me, P?"

Godt sighed, "I'll stay."

Bas knitted his eyebrows, Godt rarely addressed himself as 'I' it's always 'P' especially when it's just the two of them.

Godt looked back at his phone, finger moving up and down focusing on nothing and Bas just stood there like a fool waiting for another fool to respond, even though he did not say anything.

Bas looked away from the view while mumbling "let's run away together"

Godt stopped whatever he did. He looked up.
"What did you just say?"

Bas was a bit surprised, he thought his words were blurted out unheard.
"I didn't say anything." He shrugged his shoulders off

Godt put his phone on the nightstand and stood up "I clearly heard you say 'let's run away together' Bas"

"You just misheard it" Bas said haphazardly, he walked towards the door but Godt caught his wrist fast. Bas grimaced from the sudden pain on his hand. He was having a cold and a small touch on his skin sent him pain. Seeing that, Godt loosened his grip but he did not release his hand. Bas turned around and looked at him in the eye, Godt's hand still clutching Bas' wrist.

"Did you mean that?" Godt spoke softly.

"What?"

"You said 'let's run away together'" if Godt's eyes were nails, they surely made deep holes on Bas' eyes. He was waiting for Bas' answer

"Let go of my hand..."

"I want you to tell me the truth."

"If you want to stay today, then stay. It's not like we are always on the same page." Bas said coldly and surprised himself how cold he sounded.

Godt's face changed, he released his grip. Giving Bas a chance to walk towards the door, holding the doorknob. He stopped and staring at his own hand for a moment, he turned around again and whispered.
"It was supposed to be a joke" and disappeared from the door.

Bas got in the car, plastering his upset face to everyone, did not mind if people suspected anything.
He chose to sit at the very back of the car, his favorite spot with his P.

"Isn't Namsan famous for it's heart padlock?" Tee commented after knowing their next trip.

"Yes, I heard whoever wrote their name and their lover's name on the padlock and lock it there, they will stay together forever." Cop added.

All were chit-chatting about how excited they were to go to Namsan Tower, but someone was lost in his own world, leaning his head on the car window; all gloomy.

Bas bought a pink padlock and contemplated whose names to write... After some minutes, he wrote Bas love mama.

"Aww why did you write mama? Isn't this for a couple, why don't you write his name?" His mom asked

"But mama is my first love" Bas smiled. He thought it was too early to think about forever with Godt, even though his heart screamed for it.

**
The orange dusk was hanging beautifully on the sky, he remembered how they always talked about light and the sun, being light for each other, he took a picture of the sunset and the heart lock, posted it to his IG story.
Not long after, a Line message popped up.

                -GG-
'Let's go to Namsan together in the future'

Bas recited the message, he was happy to read the message, but he wasn't betting his heart on this. He didn't reply, so another message popped up.
