Love Between You & Me

Another chance??

"will you really be okay to wait phi???? It would take atleast an hour for me to finish. Should I send my driver instead???"

Kongpob laugh cuts off the other person on the line," Anurak! Its fine seriously. Just finish your work. I'll just ask Damon to drop me off if it gets really late. Dont worry"

Anurak can not think of anything to argue and says his goodbye but not before taking a promise from elder to text him when he reaches home.

Kongpob shakes his head in amusement. One would think Kongpob is the young one if they hear the Anurak. The younger one cares way too much for someone who he had known for only a year. But Kongpob is glad to have him around.

After the stunning revelations by Arthit all were overwhelmed but for different reasons. The threads are tangling more and more. First Canvosagaemin, then Sin and now SHADOW... more and more people are getting involve and it looks like there is a single knot tying these messy triplets.

Kim took everyone by surprise when he grabbed Arthit in a fierce brotherly hug, a choked laugh escaped the eldest. Kongpob had never witnessed this emotional side of TID Chief. It was like someone has replaced the hard ass Chief Kim. And judging by others' baffled expression, Kongpob was not alone in thinking like that. But in the end, it only proves that their Chief is also a living breathing human like them.

After learning what had exactly happened an year ago, Kongpob is relieved to know that Arthit had not played with his feelings. Neither he had any intention of deceiving him and the short period of time he was Andrew, his feelings were true for Kongpob. It is more than enough for him. But it also means that they are back to the same place where their paths are different. A year back the reason Kongpob and Arthit could not be together, that very cause is still between them. Aaron - Arthit's boyfriend.

 Whatever transpired between Kongpob and Andrew were stolen moments which came with expired date stamped on it. And now that Andrew's memory has returned, it means an end to the budding relation between him and Andrew.

Kongpob won't lie and say that it doesn't hurt. Because it fucking does. How couldn't it??? It had been hell the first time Kongpob had to part ways with Arthit and now that he had tasted the forbidden fruit, now when he knows how it feels to be loved by Arthit, the pain, the heartache all this misery seems immeasurable and unending. It was arduous enough for him to let Andrew in his heart, but now Kongpob is left with nothing.

He would had left with Kim if not for Damon stopping him to discuss about Maurer's upcoming interrogation. Ming also has stayed over for the dinner. There is also something going on in between Phoenix and Ming. Both have disappeared from living room without telling anything. Thus, he and Ming are still here while others are busy in preparing dinner. Arthit and Ryan left for study room to discuss regarding SHADOW.

Kongpob knew that as soon as Ryan frees his ex mentor, Arthit would come straight for him to have the famous TALK which is the last thing the other desires for. To ignore the big elephant in the room, Kongpob fleed to the poolside. The sun has hidden in the west long ago, horizon covered in firey red hue. Evening is still warm but with the mild breeze it is bearable. Dipping his feet in blues, Kongpob shuts his eyes as he try to let his mind rest.

*********

Kongpob"

The young man abruptly opens his eyes and a sigh left him seeing Arthit striding towards him and judging by the determination set in his eyes, Kongpob has no option but to address the issue he had been running away from.

Arthit wanted to go to Kongpob as soon the meeting finished but Ryan stopped him and then a distress call from Shanya. It took an hour long conversation and a promise to visit her this Sunday to pacify her mother. The time he got off the phone, Kongpob was no where to find. He searched the whole house at last saw a lone figure posed in a relaxed position along poolside. He has his feet dipped in the pool, hands flat against the tiled surface, head thrown back, eyes closed.
