Chapter 15

The plane hovered around the island of Phuket. Bright and Win were seated in the business class. Win was too excited that he kept looking out the window, enjoying the view of the blue sea beneath him. Bright wasn't that nervous about the trip but rather about the fact that this was his last shot to make Win his boyfriend. 

"What do you want to do later when we land?" Bright asked. 

"I just wanna sleep for a while and maybe we can go swimming in the evening. Just knock on my door when you wanna go." Win answered while taking pictures of the ocean on the other hand. 

"But we're going to be in the same-" before Bright could finish his sentence, the captain decided to make an announcement. 

"Ladies and gentlemen, as we start our descent, please make sure your seat backs and tray tables are in their full upright position. Make sure your seat belt is securely fastened and all carry-on luggage is stowed underneath the seat in front of you or in the overhead bins. Thank you."

When the announcement ended, Win turned to Bright and said, "What were you saying earlier? I didn't hear you." 

"Oh, it's just that I booked us in the same-" Bright was then interrupted again by the flight attendant who approached them. 

"Excuse me sir, please put your tray table in their full upright position. We're about to land," the flight attendant said. 

Bright quickly pushed his tray table in a full upright position as the flight attendant bowed and left. Win then looked at him, waiting for him to continue whatever he was trying to say. "You know what? It's nothing important, you'll find out when we get to the hotel."

"Uh... okay."

"YOU BOOKED US IN THE SAME ROOM?" Win freaked out as soon as he found out. 

"What were you expecting? I planned his trip for us to get to know each other. Did you seriously think we'd be in separate rooms? We are not on a school field trip," Bright complained. 

"I don't care. I want a single room."

"The rooms are probably all full now, right?" Bright turned to the receptionist and asked.

"We do have 7 available rooms with a sea view if you want," the receptionist replied.

"What? In movies, there are always no available rooms," Bright mumbled to himself. 

"I'll take one of the available rooms, please."

"We already slept together. Are you uncomfortable with me?" 

The receptionist widened her eyes after hearing what Bright said. Then she clicked something on her monitor and quickly said, "Sir, I have to apologize. Someone already made reservations for the available rooms. I'm so sorry."

"You mean all seven rooms?" 

"Y-yes. I think you should just share the room with your boyfriend."

"He's not my boyfriend!" 

In the end, Win ended up sharing the room with Bright. They were heading to their room when Win noticed that Bright was unusually quiet after the conversation at the reception. After unpacking a bit, Win approached Bright who was wiping his guitar. 

"Are you mad at me?" Win asked. 

"Why would I even be mad at you?"

"Because I didn't want to share a room with you." 

Bright didn't answer so Win grabbed the guitar to get Bright's attention. "I know we're here to get to know each other. But you have to understand that I somewhat feel forced to do all this. We walked in each other's lives so suddenly that I feel like we both are not fully adjusted to the change. I am still not used to having someone who cares about me and I'm pretty sure you're not used to having someone like me around you. So sometimes, you might not fully think through when you make decisions. I lived my entire life dedicated to my career that I never thought I'd fall in love with a person. So, I'm afraid. I'm afraid to just open my heart for someone, especially when that someone was a stranger to me a few months ago."

"I get it. But I'm not afraid and I know my feelings. I love you, Win Metawin. I love you so much that I think I would go crazy without you. I understand why you have your doubts. But I can promise you, if you let me show you all the love I have for you, I will not let you down. All you need is to open your heart for me," Bright smiled.

After going for a swim, Bright and Win decided to just walk by the shore and talk. 

"I didn't know Phuket was so beautiful. I've only come here once when I was really young. I can't wait to eat dinner later," Win stated while he tried to take pictures of the sun setting in the horizons. 

"If you want to go somewhere, I'll take you. You just need to say it."

"Wow, so rich, huh? I thought you were broke and jobless. Yet you still manage to get business class tickets and the best room in the hotel," Win rolled his eyes. 

"Cmon, don't just take the picture of the sunset. Let's take a picture together," Bright snatched Win's phones from his hands and turned the camera to selfie mode. Win scooched into the frame and smiled for the picture. As Bright took the picture, he immediately turned his head and kissed Win on the cheek and then click! The photo was taken. 

"Ai'Bright!!" Win yelled. 

"Nice picture," Bright chuckled as he sent the picture to his phone. 

Win couldn't help but smile how Bright was excited over the selfie. He knew how he felt about the man in front of him, yet a lot of things still scared him. But now that they are on this vacation, he felt like everything else didn't matter anymore as long they loved each other. It sounded too cheesy in his head but he was already madly in love with that person to the point all of his fears could disappear as long as he was with him. 

"Let's just go eat dinner, I'm hungry," Win snatched back his phone from Bright and shoved it into his pocket. He has finally opened his heart and now he just needs to officially let Bright in.

Hey guys! I'm so sorry for the slow updates but I've been a little busy with life. Have you guys watched the final episode of 2gether? To be honest, the last three episodes were quite disappointing to me. I feel like I lost connections to the characters and they could've made it so much better if focused more on developing SarawatTine and not other side stories. But of course, that's just my opinion. What are your thoughts on the final episode?
