Hidden

Chapter 5

Kongpob stared at the gear in his hands. A sigh left his lips before he placed the gear back into his drawer and closed it.

He still remembers that day at the beach Arthit had confessed his love for him.

Kongpob couldn't believe that Arthit was in love with him, the junior who was a pain in the ass. Kongpob was really stubborn and restless during his freshman year. He always talked back to Arthit who was the head of the hazing system at the engineering faculty. Kongpob found the hazing system irrelevant and useless at the beginning and so he talked back to Arthit. Arthit was not bad too, he teased Kongpob back.

And somehow, he had liked how the senior's cheeks and ears would turn red as he shouts at him. He was cute.

There was a time when Arthit even asked him what he might do if Arthit doesn't accept him as his junior by not giving him the gear.

A gear is really precious for an engineering student. A gear is like the heart of an engineer so not recieving it because some lame senior's dislike towards a certain junior made Kongpob angry.

Kongpob feeling insulted by the smirk on Arthit's lips at that moment he couldn't control himself but talk back.

I'll make you my wife. It is said that what belongs to your lover belongs to you. So, I'll make you my lover so your gear is also mine

Kongpob felt embarrassed now when he thinks about the words he spoke to the senior. He didn't mean to say so but Arthit's temper was getting into his nerves. He nearly found himself at the edge of death when Arthit grabbed his collar after his shameless words, if not for Knott he's sure that he might be six feet below now.

Kongpob and Arthit were like Tom and Jerry, so it came as a surprise when after the gear giving ceremony at the beach Arthit had walked towards him and handed over his gear.

Kongpob felt his breath caught up in his chest. He felt his chest tighten. He clearly knew the meaning of giving your gear to someone, it meant that they're giving their heart to partner to take care of it.

It would be a lie if he says that he wasn't attracted to Arthit. In fact, he was having a huge crush on him but he tried to put that thought far behind in his mind. He had a sick brother to take care of and various other liabilities. And along with that, he didn't have any grip on his life. He didn't want to hurt Arthit so he rejected Arthit.

He saw the brave head hazer of his shatter at that very moment, he saw that dimpled smile which he loves a lot vanish from his lips. He saw how Arthit tried to smile at him. He didn't want to see the senior shatter, so he turned around mumbling several sorry as he walked away.

But Arthit stopped him. He smiled wide showing his dimple again as he walked towards Kongpob and placed his gear inside Kongpob's hands.

'I might have shocked you. But Kong I really love you, and a part of me tells me that you're pushing me away not because you don't love me but you're just confused. I can wait Kong, I can wait as long as you gave me the final answer as yes.'

From that day onwards Arthit's gear, his heart, was in Kongpob's possession. After that day Kongpob didn't see Arthit for almost two months. Then after he suddenly appeared and started to shower Kongpob with his attention and now all of his and Arthit's friends are aware of the situation.

Kongpob felt the urge to say back those three words whenever he hears Arthit confess his love for him. There's not even a single day that he doesn't remember about that senior of his. The fact that the senior was a rich businessman's son was another fact he's backing off, he's nothing in front of Arthit.
