It has been quite a while since that whole fiasco with Jahad and his army, but at the end of the day, Bam did end up managing to defeat Jahad, considering he's gotten so strong through the help of the 10 families and the help of his friends, in general.
Once he reached the top of the tower, his only wish was to live happily with all of his friends, even the dead ones. Which the gods couldn't refuse.Bam sat at the balcony of the apartment him and his friends lived in. Usually, Bam would invite Khun or Rak to talk about things and how their day was over a cup of tea (or Gatorade because Rak seemed to like it alot) but today was different. Bam sat at the balcony, alone, thinking to himself. The cold air breeze brushing against that soft pale skin of his as his hair flowed in the air.
"What's love?" baby don't hurt m- sorry, he asked, looking up at the star glazed dark sky, stars that shined ever so brightly in the black pit of darkness which we call sky, basically asking for help whether it was from the gods or from Arlene, his unknown mother. Of course, he wasn't going to get an answer. Arlene is nowhere to be found and the gods only grant wishes, they probably don't know what love is, either.
Bam hummed a little tune, one Rachel would hum for him whenever he felt scared of the dark to the point he couldn't sleep. It enlightened and calmed him down usually.
He couldn't bother thinking about her though, his curiosity did always get the better of him, maybe Khun rubbed off on him? Who knows.
To him, it was obvious that the girls (Yuri, Endorsi and Yihwa) liked him, but he always played it off as dumb, yet he doesn't understand the concept of it, like of course he understands platonic love but he has not a single idea what romantic love is, he doesn't know how it feels, either.
"Maybe I should ask Mr. Khun." he thought, as he took a sip of his cup of tea.
Speaking of Mr. Khun, he was on his way up to the balcony, having been peer pressured and yelled at by that stupid crocodile to go get Bam so they'd finally eat dinner. Khun didn't really mind it though, infact, he was happy that he was the one who was going to fetch Bam.He loved seeing Bam afterall.
Those luscious and elegant locks of dark brown hair that fell lose onto his shoulders, not to mention, the pools of honey orbs that Khun often found himself getting lost in. Khun was whipped for him, basically, but he wasn't as noticeable, especially due to fear.He gently knocked onto the balcony's door, awaiting for a response, incase Bam was busy. Bam answered quietly with a "Come in." to which Khun opened the door to.
"Hey, Bam. You seem to have alot on your mind." Said Khun, as he entered and closed the door behind him."Oh.. am I really that obvious?" Asked Bam, as he let out a little chuckle. "Not really, I just know your habits well. What's wrong?" Khun answered but asked a question yet again.
Bam took a deep breath. "It's just.." he paused. "What's love, Mr. Khun? I don't understand it well." Asked Bam, leaving Khun a little shocked. "I know there are a lot of people that like me more than friends or bestfriends but I don't get it, I don't get how it feels, either."
"Well, Bam." Khun paused, thinking of the right words to say. "Love is.. when you care deeply for someone, more than anyone else. It's when you're willing to sacrifice anything for that person, just for the sake of your love. You tend to ignore their flaws and only focus on their positive traits." Answered Khun, a tint of pink flushing over his cheeks. "Well, Mr. Khun, do you have that special someone?" Asked Bam, to which Khun immediately ignored. "Welp, that's enough for today, let's go eat dinner with the crocodile and the others, he's probably going insane down there." Said Khun, as he grabbed Bam by the wrist. "But you didn't answer my questi-" Bam could barely speak as Khun ran down the stairs, fingers intertwined with eachother.After getting lectured by Rak, because he was very hungry and could barely stop himself from eating because they took a while, everyone silently ate their food and then parted ways since it was time to sleep.
Bam could barely sleep, he kept thinking about what Khun said. So he decided to go to Khun's room, at like, 3 AM, dammit Bam he could be sleeping.
He knocked on the door, waiting for a response, hearing a little shuffling around till Khun opened the door.
"..Bam? What are you doing here?" he asked, rubbing his eyes. "Mr. Khun, I have a question." said Bam, staring at Khun. "What is it? It must be so important if you came here to ask me about it in three in the morning, go on, I'm listening." Said Khun, waiting for an answer.
"Mr. Khun, do you.." paused Bam. "Wanna practice the acts of.. 'love' with me?" asked Bam, shyly looking to the side. Khun stared in silence for a little. "..Why me?" He asked, pausing. "It could've been one of the people who love you in that way, so why?" He asked, rubbing the back of his neck.
"You're one of them, though. And you're my bestfriend, too." Answered Bam, holding Khun's hand."Fine, fine, I'll do it, but only cause it's you." Said Khun, intertwining his fingers with Bam's.
"Yay! Goodnight, Mr. Khun!" Said Bam, as he planted a kiss on Khun's cheek and ran to his room in fear of someone seeing them. Khun placed a hand on his cheek, "Goodnight, Bam." he said, smiling widely. "This guy's gonna be the death of me." He sighed, going inside his room.
