    Arthit jumped out of the still ongoing taxi as he raced through to reach the hospital doors and get in. He was in a bewdered state, his mind swirling with the worst case scenarios ever since he had gotten the phone call. He had just been lazing around at home when he received a call from an unknown number and when he picked it up, discovered that it was from the hospital. Arthit will never forget how his heart plummeted to the pit of his stomach when the nurse explained that they had a patient called KongPob who had just been admitted and had placed Arthit as his contact person. Arthit had barely even comprehended whatever she was saying before he was sprinting out the door, his blood pressure rising significantly.
      Arthit pushed through the crowds of sick and healthy with little apology as he went directly to the reception area looking for answers.
   “Excuse me krap, I'm looking for KongPob Prachaya krap.... I got a call that he is admitted here.....” Arthit breathed out in a single breathe as he wished that the nurse would hurry up.
    “Ahhh yes ka. He is in ward 301.Right upstairs sir.” she replied and Arthit took off once again. Sweat clung to his forehead and he finally found the room along with an unexpected visitor.
    

     “What are you doing here?” Arthit asked vexed at seeing San outside KongPob's door. Startled, San turned to see who it was and wasn't very happy to meet Arthit as well. Chuckling, San stood up to face Arthit as Arthit drew closer to him.
     “What do you mean what am I doing here...... If you haven't noticed, I'm the one who brought KongPob here so a  thank you is much more in order than questioning me if I say so myself.” San replies, greatly annoyed by Arthit's presence. He wanted to be the one who would stay with KongPob this time since he had come in with him.
      “Thank you!!!! You must be out of your mind if you think so. For all I know, you could be the reason why KongPob is here in the first place. It wouldn't be the first time such a thing happened, would it?” Arthit retorted as he circled round San and came to the other side.
      “But that's not the point. I'm here now so you can go back to your little cafe and mind your own business.” Arthit turned to enter the room but San suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm.
   “You don't deserve to be in there with KongPob, I'm the one who brought him therefore I'm the one who will take care of him.” he said sternly trying to get his point across.
   “Ha.... Ha.... I must - have not hit you enough in the head because you keep spewing nonsense bullshit,” Arthit replied as he harshly pushed San away who tripped on the bench behind him and fell onto it.
    “You think that just because you work together with KongPob, talk with him every day  and ohhh kissed him..... Well, tried to kiss him that you are suddenly someone important to him. What are you even? because according to both our knowledge, you don't even rank up to be his friend let alone someone capable of taking care of him. It seems as though you have created a distorted form of reality of yourself and KongPob but let me break you out of it. You and KongPob will never be more than coworkers and that will soon end and then you will be no more than strangers to each other. So get that through your dense head buddy. Don't let KongPob's silence and my self control mean acceptance; it just goes to show that you don't know KongPob in the slightest. Stay down while you still have a chance.” Arthit practically growled back, controlling himself from impending further damage.
      “And one more thing, if you ever try to get close to KongPob again, you will be the one who will be in the hospital you dirty, depsarate piece of shit. KongPob is mine and you would do well to remember that.”Arthit warned glaring back at San meaning every word. He then left and entered the room leaving San stupified on the bench, his emotions fired up and corroding against each other.
       Arthit's mood shifted immediately when he saw KongPob's hollow face on the bed with an IV hooked to him.
“KongPob...... KongPob...... Eiii Kong,” Arthit whispered softly as he took a seat besides him. His whole stance was covered with worry as he took hold of KongPob's hand which was colder than usual and held it close to himself. KongPob's beautiful tan face had turned ashen and his lips were pale and chapped. His eyes were hollow and few dark spots covered around them. Little beads of sweat stuck to his hairline and his breathing was quite shallow. This state of KongPob hurt Arthit's heart as he tried to figure out what was wrong with him and wanted to keep himself from over panicking.
       He called out to him once again softly and KongPob finally came to opening his eyes and turned to Arthit.
   “P'Arthit krap,” he rasped as he tried to sit up and converse with him.
    “Easy KongPob, easy. Don't try to do much. You seem a bit weak. What happened Kong?” Arthit  asked as he gently swept away some of KongPob bangs.
  “I don't know P'Arthit krap. The doctor said something about infection but I couldn't really understand all of it. .... They said that he will come back to tell me when I am a bit more conscious. I'm tired P'Arthit, let me rest for a while.” KongPob whispered his eyes drooping back not waiting for an answer.
    “It's fine KongPob. Don't worry just sleep.... I'll find out what happened. Just rest.” Arthit comforted as he placed KongPob's hand back in place and pulled up the covers. He then went out in search of the doctor and was glad to find San gone by then. He eventually found the doctor in charge and was able to get information about KongPob's condition. It's wasn't that much serious, KongPob had just contracted a food infection most likely from undercooked food or wrongly spiced foodstuffs and in addition he had the flu so the wto combined was what made KongPob very ill all of a sudden but all was well. They had given him treatment and he only had to stay the night for observation. Besides, KongPob's immunity sytne was quite strong to handle the infection he was just exhausted that's all.
       Arthit was more than relieved to hear the news and could now rest assured that KongPob was safe. He couldn't deny that he had thought  KongPob had been in dire danger and conjured up some worst news but he was now at ease and went back to KongPob's room. He decided he would keep KongPob company and take care of him as per required.
