Fragment No. 36

A/N : Phew~ this is sooo long na! It's also without editing. Sorry in advance for any mistake~

It's Arthit's POV y'all!

****

He is floating, at least that's the sense he is feeling right now. although when he feels like floating in midair, something restrain him like a lead, pressuring his body. The only thing he can see is darkness. There's a smell of something burning, like a singed hair or the unfinished road with a still wet asphalt. And nothing.

His heart start to beat faster against his ribcage, hurting his chest. A scene of memory start pouring in. A burning sword, fireballs thrown toward him, a protective back, a strange and mysterious pattern on Kong's wrist. Then, the pouring water.

Kong!

Arthit let out a gasp that forced it way up as he opens his eyes. His body trembling all over, shivering from the coldness that shouldn't be there. The first thing that registered into his brain is a high white ceiling, with its light blue almost white walls enclosing the room, and-

"P' Arthit!" a girl's voice calling his name.

He turned his head so quickly in fear -for whatever reason it might be, which he doesn't remember right now- and saw.. Prae?

The junior look at him with worry visible on her face. She timidly approached him and sit on the chair that was there since the beginning, Arthit realized. The same with a warm blanket enveloping his now drenched body. Which.. already changed into some kind of tunic? He sure never had clothes like this.

Where is he?

"P' Arthit.. how are you feeling right now?" still with timidity in her voice, Prae asked this question. Which is a weird thing in itself, as he remembers Prae as a confident girl.

"Where is this?"

Prae bit her lips, her eyes keeps on looking to the door as if she wishes it would suddenly open and an answer would float in. "This.. Em will be better suit explaining this thing."

"..Em?" things keeps getting weirder and weirder.

Right. did he remember wrong that Bright suddenly showed up on that bridge? Was everything a made up event? But the burning hair of his felt incredibly real at the time. and he shouldn't be blanking out just because someone covering his eyes.

Prae nodded continuously. "Yes. He was here with me, but went out for a bit. He should be right back."

Arthit frowned. He wants answer. nonetheless, he has to keep a cool head right now. "O..kay."

"Everything is alright!" Prae hurriedly said, looking panicky for some reason. But it has an opposite reaction with Arthit. He feels like everything is wrong tonight. He should still be on that bridge, with Kong by his side watching the river quietly. The room he is in right now is foreign. He is not on his bed, with clothes that clearly do not belong to him, and a blanket so soft he wonder if he would be able to afford it. There also shouldn't be Prae sitting beside him, looking panicky and fidgeting on her seat.

"Really." He drawled, trying to tone his sarcastic remark down. As Prae nodded furiously again, the door opened. Em come in and was surprised when he saw him awake.

"Phi. You're awake." there's a relieve in the way Em said it as he step into the room, immediately sitting on the bed beside his foot, as the only chair is occupied by Prae. "How are you feeling?"

Arthit clenched his fist, grounding his teeth to calm his heart that beating wildly right now. "What the hell happened? where's Kong? Why is Prae telling me that you would be able to explain it more clearly?" the barrage of question was spat out of his mouth rapidly.
