Faces Of Love : The Trinity

Chapter 37 : Selfless and Selfish

Gun and Off rushed towards Singto as they are exiting the set but the latter vanished into the crowd. The fans who were watching them live on set are gathering around them which made it harder to catch up.

"Where did he go?", Off whispered to his partner. Trying to get through the crowd.

"I don't know. But I am worried for both of them. I hope they don't make a scene here.", Gun replied while waving and greeting their crowding fans. Both are still scanning the crowd, hoping to see either Singto or Krist. They are being carried by the crowd out of the venue, farther from the stage and into the open area.

"I hope you two are alright, Krist and Singto.. You silly obnoxious idiots!", Gun thought to himself.

Ohm pulled Singto into the backstage to get away from the crowd.

"Hey! Why did you bring me here?", Singto asked, wondering.

"I don't know.. I just feel I need to get you away from them.", the innocent looking young lad responded, glancing at the chaotic scene at the front stage.

Singto stared at him, still being doubtful.

"Why?", he asked.

"You should see your face while you were out there.", he grinned. Staring back into Singto's eyes.

"No. What I mean is.. Why do you care?", the dashing man retorted.

Ohm's grin shifted into a frown, then sighed.

"Were you not listening to what I said in the interview earlier?", he seriously asked his senior. Disappointment written on his face.

Singto's eyes furrowed. Confused at what this young hunk is trying to get at.

"I guess you are not just cold.. You are also oblivious.", Ohm smiled bitterly.

"Get straight to the point.", Singto uttered in a firm voice.

Ohm shook his head then sighed once more, making a more serious face, he walks closer towards Singto, paused inches away from each other's face. Singto, being fierce as he is, did not back down and watched his current partner's next move.

"I like you, Khun Prachaya.. It was just an admiration from the start. Seeing how you reacted when you saw your first love, now I know what I feel is more than admiration. I am hurt seeing you hurt. I wish it was me you love instead.", he confessed, looking conflicted.

Singto suddenly grabbed the young lad's face and leaned in to kiss him. Ohm was startled at his senior's sudden gesture but before he can react, the latter pushed him right away.

He jolted at the sudden noise coming from behind.

It was Krist. The dashing young idol dropped the bouquet of flowers he was holding which was given to him earlier by one of his followers. Ohm can see the pain written all over Krist's face. He looked back at Singto once more, who is also staring at Krist. He doesn't look troubled at all and seems to enjoy what he did to the poor man.

"I-.. Uhm.. S-sorry for intruding." he uttered, his lips are shaking as his tears automatically rolled down his cheeks. Ohm felt sorry for the 'intruder'. Krist looks lost. Not knowing whether to run away or continue acting that he wasn't affected at what he just witnessed. He wiped away his tears, smiling widely.

"The fans were really accommodating, right? I'm really touched at their sincerity.", he said, hiding his sobs through forced laughter, picking up the bouquet of flowers he dropped.

"I-.. I should go back to them. You know? Giving out autographs and the likes. I'm really touched by them. They're cute.", he said in between his awkward chuckles though his tears couldn't hide his pain.

"Krist..", Ohm uttered but he doesn't know what to say next. Krist lifts up his hand gesturing it's ok, then waved goodbye as he turned away, not glancing back.

Ohm shook his head, brushing his hair off his face, smiling bitterly. Krist walks away awkwardly, hanging his head, looking like the whole world has ended. While Singto stepped back slowly, leaning against the wall, slowly sliding down the floor, his knees are shaking as his tears fell down on its own. Banging his head against the wall. He resigned to his pain once more.
