Enigmatic Love

Chapter 30

"Whose house is this?" Phana had asked while they were walking towards the living room with Bas tailing from behind. "A friend of mine. But we couldn't be long. So what's the important thing you wanted to discuss with me?" Kimmon had asked Phana straight to the point once they were all taking a seat on the couch.

"Anyone else here?" Phana would be asked again. "Only my patient, but he was sleeping. Seriously, Pha, what is it? Can't you just jump straight to the point instead of all this question?" Kimmon had asked the guy irritated.

"Sorry, Kim. What I'm about to discuss with you supposed to be a secret for now. Is it safe here?" Kimmon then shaking his head at Phana's statement. "You should check on the phone first instead of running here. But still, it is safe. So, what is it?"

"I need your help to find my Wayo." Kimmon was making a boring face while pointing his hand to Bas who was seating beside Phana. "Found him." Phana was raking his hair in frustration. "Look, this is might sound crazy, but he is not Wayo."

Kimmon was blinking his eyes a few times with his straight face looking at Phana. "My Wayo had been missing almost 9 months already. I don't know what to do, where to start. But you have the source more than I do on things like this. Please, Kim. I'm begging you."

Kimmon's face got scrunched up while he keeps on looking at Phana and Bas, Phana and Bas, and he was confused and he hates been confused. He then fixed his vision on Bas, "Enlighten me." Seeing the serious face of Kimmon, Bas was gulping his own saliva.

"I was living in a small village in Korea with my mom. We were poor and my mom's condition gets worse day by day and I don't have much money for her treatment. Suddenly, one day, 'my father' appeared out of nowhere saying he will take care of my mother's treatment with a condition I will follow him and do everything he asked for. I was desperate, and I thought he was a good guy, so he will not ask me to do bad things, or so I thought. It turns out, he wanted me to act as his son who had the same face like mine."

Kimmon was sighing hearing Bas's explanation. This was so complicated, but it wasn't something he couldn't help. Just like Phana had said, he had the source and the power too, actually. "I need...." Kimmon's words had stopped when he saw Copter's room door had opened and he could see Copter's hand was rubbing the wall that he was trying to walk out of the room.

"P'Kim...." He would call and Kimmon would be standing up right away heading towards Copter taking his hand on his hold. "Where are you going? Why didn't you call me?" Kimmon would ask. "I did, but you didn't hear me. I thought you had left." Copter was pouting, and of course, Kimmon would have thought that was cute.

"I will never leave you alone, you know that." Copter then giving out his small smile. "I heard some other voice, is there anyone here? Does Tee come back already? What time is it?" Kimmon was smiling hearing the string of questions from Copter. He was relieved seeing Copter was all right, and he guessed all the crying earlier helped a lot though it was a heart-breaking view.

Kimmon just turned to Phana and Bas to tell Copter about his friends coming over when he saw Bas's covering his mouth with all tears running down from both of his eyes shocking him. He was looking straight at Copter and was crying hard, yet he was trying hard to not let out any sound, seeing Copter. Phana and Kimmon were dumbfounded with his reaction, and Copter couldn't get any answer to any of his questions.

"You said he was okay, P. You told me he was okay. But what is this? What's with his condition? What do I do now? What should I do now? My poor P'Cop. What should I do now, P?" Bas who was running away, getting out of the house was crying his heart out in a corner of the garage. Once he was able to breathe normally with controlled tears, he makes a call to Yihwa.

"How....I'm sorry Bas. I was afraid you couldn't be able to go through with the marriage. I'm sorry....I'm sorry.." Bas had finished the call while keeps on crying. His heart was broken, no, shattering seeing his P'Cop's condition. Why it had to be this way? What he should do now?

"Is he the boyfriend you mentioned?" hearing the voice, Bas had slowly got up from his squat position and slowly turning to Phana. With tears still flowing down, he was nodding his head slowly. "Was it because of the blast, he got.....that way?"

Bas was nodding his head once again, while his tears keep on flowing down. "What blast?" Kimmon's voice was making them both turn to him. "Were you the ex-boyfriend who got married?" Kimmon had asked again. "P'Cop...." Bas would ask, worrying thinking about his P'Cop leaving alone inside.

"I told him to wait in the living room, while I check on you. Why do you have to run away like that? You got him worried. He even thought you were disgusted by him too. He wasn't in a good mental state of accepting his condition yet, and you have to act like this." Kimmon was talking, almost reprimand Bas for his action earlier.

"So, you didn't know about his condition? Well, I can relate to that, but please be careful next time. If there is next time. Pha, I'll call you again tonight, after Copter's friends could be here. We continue our discussion tonight. I need to go in, or Copter will be more worried."

Kimmon then coming inside only to see an anxious Copter on the couch. "P'Kim?" hearing footsteps, Copter was calling Kimmon right away. "Yes, Cop. I'm here." Kimmon then walks even faster to take a seat beside Copter.

"How is your friend? Is he okay? Was he...." Copter couldn't ask the question. He was afraid if it was the actual reason. Was his condition that bad to make anyone feel like throwing up just to see him? Kimmon was laughing a little so that it will convince Copter of what he is about to tell him.

"Was he what? Afraid of you? Why would he when he saw a very cute specimen like you? He was having jetlag, but my idiot of friend doesn't even care about it but to just come straight to me, boasting about their honeymoon." Copter was pouting hearing Kimmon.

"You sure you were not lying to me, P? Why would he come here to just boasting about his honeymoon? And this even wasn't your house." Though Copter hit the points, but, he asks this in a pouty expression which Kimmon find it cute. Well, to Kimmon, Copter was always cute, in whatever condition he was in.

"I told him to wait but he said he needs to give me my souvenir too, though it was just a stupid keychain. Later I found out, he was just want to show off his cutie husband not even realize his husband had a bad headache. Stupid guy." Kimmon makes sure his tone was normal and playful while making up the reasons he could think of in that short moment, making Copter smiling a sweet smile to it. As long as Copter believed it, and it didn't hurt Copter, it's okay and it's enough.
