124: You Are Not A Burden

Mark's POV

I sigh for the nth time already, "Gun—listen first. I really need to go back home na khrab so that I can talk to my Pa's assistant and make sure no one will follow you again," I explained for the nth time already too. It feels like—I am explaining to a child—an adorable child.

I am squatting while holding Gun's both hands and my boyfriend is sitting on the edge of his bed. Yes, I am in his house again, in his room while Ai'Captain is sitting beside him trying to pat his back again and again and their parents are standing behind me near the door.

Gun shook his head for the nth too, "No—no—please na Mark—stay—you can—" he looks around, "Sleep here na khrab—right—Mae? Pa?" he even asked his parents but I shook my head.

"Love, you need to rest. You are just tired na khrab and got scared—promise—I will be here first thing in the morning," I grip his hands tighter but soon panicked when his eyes started to moist. As far as I know, he is the type of person who doesn't cry easily.

"P'Gun~" Ai'Cap called him as soon as he noticed the visible tears.

"Dear, it's okay—we think our Gun na kah must be so stressed out—do you want us to call your parent so that you can stay over?" I heard the gentle voice of mae and all I can do is sigh.

I turn my head to look at his parents and they have worried look on their faces, "Sorry na khrab mae and pa, I should have—" "No no Ai'Mark, you did good enough for our sons na khrab and we are really grateful. You are always there for them—and we will trouble you again tonight to stay," Pa said and how can I decline anymore?

I sigh and smiles at them, "Okay na khrab mae, pa, I also don't live with my parents but I need to make a call na khrab later," I said before turning back to Gun who still looks like someone who is ready to cry.

I smile, "I'll stay—" he smiles so big, "Now behave already na khrab. P' needs to call someone—okay khrab?" and he nods so fast.

I let go of his hands and caress his cheeks, "Ai'Cap—do you mind coming out with me?" I asked his brother even though I am looking at Gun. I didn't hear any reply but I know that Ai'Cap will follow.

When I let go of Gun, he looks more at ease now. His mae and pa just smile at me, "We will look after him dear," mae said to me.

Ai'Cap and I walked towards the dining room where we sit opposite to each other. I was too focused on Gun that I forgot to check on Ai'Cap.

"Yes P'?" he asked me. The Ai'Captain that punched me straight on the face when he found out my intention to his brother was strong, brave, and fearless—what did love do to him? He looks so fragile right now.

I tried not to scare him—well intimidate him, I mean, "Well—are you okay na khrab?"

He frowns, "I wasn't—the one who—" he sighs deeply, "I am okay P'."
