Ram walked silently with King on his back. King had fallen asleep earlier when Ram had left to ask the shop owner to heat up some congee for the frail boy. Ram had returned to see the smaller slumped over the table, using his arm as a pillow. The male had been absolutely warn out from all of the tears he had sobbed.

Ram walked into his room and set King on his bed before placing a pair of clothes on the desk next to the bed along with clean towels before leaving the room and heading to his twin brothers.

Ram walked into the room, catching his brother on the phone with someone.

"-hn we don't know if it actually was King! We just.....keep it a secret for now..."

Ram rolled his eyes and stood in front of Duen waiting for him to hang up. "Duen."

Duen looked up and smiled slightly as he shuffled nervously seeing the look on Ram's face made him nervous. He didn't know why he felt that way, but he did. "Hey Ram...."

Ram gives him a curt not before glaring at him "What the fuck do youu think you are doing Duen?! King is your fucking best friend!"

Duen sighed and leaned against the headrest. "I know.... We did t mean to let him catch us!"

Ram forces out a laugh "Didn't mean to. You went to his house. His! Not Bonios or whatever his name is!"

King awoke to shouting in the room next to where he was sleeping. He widened his eyes as he realised he was not in his bed, and panicked. King's heart began to race as he hopped out of the bed, that was quite comfortable, and walked towards the shouting, gently knocking on the door before entering.

King was surprised to see Ram along with Duen, the colder of the two in the middle of shouting at the other who was almost in tears.

"K-king...." Duen called as soon as he saw King and his face paled even more, to the point of him blending in with the walls. Ram quickly turned to King and walked over, putting his hands on both of King's shoulders to steady him.

King looked at him as a new wave of emotions came over him and he teared up once again. He turned to Duen and shrugged off Ram's hands. "How could you?..." King slowly walked over to Duen, silently letting his tears fall.

Duen looked at King with tears in his eyes and watched as the other sat next to him. "King... W-we..."

"I'm not angry....but...How long?..." King says and smiles slightly at Duen, taking his hands and squeezing them gently.

Ram stood there confused, how could King be so....calm about it? Ram furrowed his eyebrows and watched as the situation progressed, ready to step in at any time if either got agitated.

Duen looked down and played with his fingers, trying to formulate the sentence that he knew would break King more. "A-a year..."

King looked shocked but nodded and got up silently, leaving the room and heading into the bathroom, still crying. The anger and sadness he felt causing him to do something that he thought he had stopped when he met Bohn.

He turned on the taps full blast and punched the mirror, watching it crack. King took a shaky breath and picked up a shard of the shattered mirror and made a deep cut on his fore arm. Closing his eyes he felt his sadness growing with each cut, yet he couldn't stop. King continued until he had no energy left so he sat on the floor in the shower after turning the taps off in the sink.

He let the cool water run down his body, washing away the trails off blood and his emotions, leaving him numb. King closed his eyes and felt himself drifting into unconsciousness again, until he heard the door open.

There stood Ram and Duen.
Both terrified because of the sight in front of them.
Both knowing that King, was not as strong as he was made out to be.
