A strong mascular arm wrapped around Krist's chest as he was being pulled forcefully out of the water and into the shore. His sight is blurry and his ears are ringing due to the water that got into them. He coughs out the water he unintentionally drank. He slowly opened his eyes, adjusting his sight in dark night lighted only by the moon. As his hearing started to go back to normal, he began to recognize the person who 'saved' him from drowning.
"Kit! Kit!", he called out to him, anxiety is written on his face. He was leaning over, continuesly tugging his shoulder, making sure he is conscious.
Krist looked at the man who he thought was just a hallucination. He raised up his hand then touches Singto's cheek, feeling his warmth on his palm.
Singto stopped tugging, he grabbed Krist's hand which was on his face, he held it tightly, feeling relieved, then remembered what Krist just did so he pushed it away, looking frustrated.
"Are you nuts?! How can you be so coward?! Why would you give up your life just like that?!.", Singto reproached his Nong as he stood up walking away, his voice is shaking, he turned around, wiping away his tears.
Krist slowly sat up, trying to recollect his senses.
"So this wasn't a hallucination after all.", he thought to himself. He gazes at his Phi intently, making sure he wasn't dreaming.
"Why did he follow me? How did he find out I was here?", he kept asking himself. He couldn't bring himself to speak. All he could do is stare at this man who can make him happy and broken at the same time.
"Don't just stare at me like that! Why did you do that? What was on your head? Since when did you become so immature?", Singto continuesly chastised Krist, his hands on his hips, still looking frustrated.
The latter just hugged his knees then buried his face on them, listening to the angry man in front of him, silently crying.
Singto sat down beside him afterwards feeling tired of all the sudden surge of emotions especially from worrying.
He watched the dark blue sky which was accentuated by the glittering stars and brightly shining full moon.
"Hey.. Little Turtle..", he spoke after a while, still gazing at the stars above.
Krist discreetly wiped his tears away, then turned to look at the man beside him.
"Hmm..?", he answered.
"I'm sorry..", Singto uttered. He turned to look at his Nong, his eyes full of remorse. Krist timidly smiled at him.
"It's fine. It's my fault anyway.", he answered, feeling the pain again after remembering that he doesn't own this man's heart anymore.
"I shouldn't have left. I-...", he choked up to the next sentence he was about to say.
"I wish you and Ohm the best of luck.", he finally said, avoiding his P's gaze.
Singto shook his head, smiling sadly.
"You should really stop thinking too much and for once, just believe in me.", the dashing man said.
"What do you mean?", Krist looked back at his P again, his brows furrowing.
"I mean.. Just believe in me. Believe how much you mean to me. And believe me when I say, I only want you in my life.", Singto uttered, hesitant in opening up his heart again but he knows that his happiness lies in this guy's hand.
"Tuan..", Krist uttered but he is lost for words, overwhelmed by this man's sincerity. His eyes are welling up again.
"Damn! This guy is literally making me a cry baby.", he thought to himself.
"Let's go back to where we were? Yeah?", Singto asked, his eyes begging.
Krist shook his head, lowering his head.
"I'm sorry, P.. But I can't go back to where we were.", he uttered in a serious manner.
Singto's heart sank.
"Dang! I should have gotten used to his rejections by now.", he said to himself.
Singto took a deep breath and stared back into the sea, nodding.
"I understand.. I won't push anymore. Being friends.. Like this.. I will try to live with it.", he answered bitterly.
Krist looked at his P, thoughts are playing in his head but he kept his silence. Singto looked back at him, forcing a smile, putting an arm over Krist shoulder, leaning their foreheads against each other.
Spending the night away with each other's company.
"Having you beside me.. It's enough.."
