6 years after (reversed)

Summary: 2 months before they got married, Kongpob's ex, Samorn, returned. Arthit feels insecure, and fear creeps into him at the prospect of being left. 

6 Years After but reversed. It's fine if you haven't read that.

Arthit should've had an inkling that something is wrong since last week. A week of tense silence, odd pity looks and obvious avoidance from Kongpob's friends all leads to this– Kongpob sitting on the bed, staring blankly on his phone. 

"Kong?" Arthit calls silently. 

"Samorn's back in Thailand." Is the only response Arthit gets. 

Arthit can only nod with an indifferent look. His heart feels heavy all of a sudden, it's like something is eating his insides. He feels tears bubbling but he holds it in him. 

Arthit's anxious. Very. "Your ex."

Arthit doesn't exactly know what happened between Kongpob and Samorn– how they broke up, how they met, how their love story went– but he's not unfamiliar with Samorn as well, he knows exactly who Samorn is.

Kongpob's infamous ex.

Arthit assumed they broke up badly and there's still so much to be talked about after an abrupt ending. 

And how could he not know Samorn? From those family reunions he accompanied Kongpob at, all he could hear were those degrading statements, 

"Where's the beautiful Samorn? Such a waste. You two looked wonderful. You'd have a beautiful family."

"You broke up with your beautiful girl? I love that kid, she's nice... Hey, nice to meet you, what's your name again?"

"I thought you're going to propose to your girlfriend, now, who is this?"

"When will you bring Samorn here again?"

And so, after attending three family reunions, Arthit just made sort of those lies to reason his way out of not wanting to attend Kongpob's family reunion again because Kongpob's relatives sure had a funny way of welcoming him. They made Arthit insecure with Samorn, but, he buried them because Samorn wasn't in Thailand, anyway.

But now, she's back. Back in Kongpob's life. Back to have him again. Back to get Kongpob from Arthit. 

"Was she here since last week?"

"Sorry I forgot to tell you."

Kongpob apologizes as if that didn't make matters worse for Arthit. If Kongpob hid the fact that Samorn is back, what more did he hide from him? Was he meeting up with Samorn behind Arthit's back? 

Arthit shakes his head to vanish those ugly thoughts. He doesn't want to think ill of Kongpob, he trusts him. 

Upon seeing the dubious look on his fiance's face, Kongpob pulls Arthit in his arms, caressing his locks. 

"Sorry, I just don't want her to cause anything between us. She's not... Don't worry, I avoided her. I don't want anything to do with her."

Arthit hums and moves closer to Kongpob, leaning into his touch. "What did she say today? I assumed she messaged you because you were staring at your phone."

"She wants to meet up to talk," Kongpob lifts Arthit's chin to peck his lips. "But don't worry, I won't. Whatever we have is over. There's nothing we should talk about anymore."

"Talk to her." Arthit's response shocks himself more than it shocks Kongpob. 

"What? But P'Arthit, this is nothing. You know, I don't love her anymore. It's just you now."
