Type blankly stared at the red sign in front of the operation room. It had been showing since both Tharn and Lhong entered the room.

Type was drenched with their bloods since he kept on hugging Tharn until the medic team arrived.  Lhong's blood stained him as well since Lhong lied unconsciously next to Tharn after the bullet hit him.

He had been shot by none other than Type himself. Type was pretty sure he was aiming for Lhong's head but Forth was faster enough to push Type, so once the trigger was pulled, the gun had missed the initial aim and shot Lhong's neck instead.

Type didn't care whether it hit the head or the neck, or other parts. What he knew was that he had shot Lhong. And he rushed to Tharn immediately and held him tight.

Type slowly slid down his back which had been leaning on the wall. He then squatted before he ended up sitting on the floor. Type sinked his face behind his folded knees.

Forth thought Type was crying when he approached him with a bottle of water for Type in his hand. He had just done giving his testimony to the police.

Forth nudged Type's shoulder with the bottle he brought and made the younger guy lifted up his face. Type's eyes were red but Forth hadn't seen him crying since they brought Tharn and Lhong to the hospital. Forth guessed that Type could cry no more. And probably he got the redness from all the tears that couldn't jerk out of his eyes.

The state that Type was in was worse than wailing out loud. He was grieving silently.

"Drink first." Forth said with his low voice and passed the bottle to Type.

Type ignored him and chose to stare blankly again to the empty air. Forth sighed and sat next to him on the floor. He put the bottle next to Type in case the later guy wanted to drink later.

The silence engulfed them. They stayed like that for a while before Type decided to break the silence. "What will happen to me...?"

That made Forth turned his head to Type next to him. He still remained silent and finally Type tilted his face to the older guy, "Will I get jailed?" He innocently asked. "I could be a murderer by any time now."

Forth averted his gaze from Type and chose to faced front. He leaned his head on the wall before he answered, "Killing someone who planned a rape and sexually abused you and Puifai doesn't sound that bad."

"Mmm. But my actions cannot be justified this time, right? Since I pulled the trigger at him when he was already defenseless. I was not doing it for my defense as well. It was mostly my emotion and I wasn't in my right mind." Type spilled out his thought.

Forth slowly nodded in agreement. Then he said, "I will try my best to reduce your punishment. Or maybe the King would award you since you shot him because he had stabbed on Tharn. The King might consider you as the hero. And don't forget that Your Highness is very fond of you, dude.." He added a chuckle.

Type could only let out a sigh as he put his chin above his knees. Honestly, he didn't care if he would be imprisoned his whole life or even face death penalty. All he cared about was Tharn to be safe and healthy again.

He had brought so much pain and danger to Tharn since he came into his life. He even made Tharn—the one and only nation's Prince—facing death because of his stupidity. He never thought Tharn would come after him and Lhong.
