"Kit, what's wrong?" Knock was approaching 'his brother' Kit when he saw the guy was coming back home with a pale and shocked face. He pulled Kit to sit on the couch and was giving him plain water to drink, which Kit had taking in and was drinking it, trying to calm himself down.

"He knows me. How? I don't know him, yet he called me Copter. P, who is the guy? Why did he knew me when I don't know him?" hearing Kit or Copter, whichever relevant, Knock was taking out his phone and showed Copter a picture.

"Are you talking about this guy?" Kit then taking the phone from Knock's hand and was looking at the picture closely. Copter was frowning and turn to Knock. "Yes, him. How did you know him? Is he your friend?"

"Kit, we told you about one of Tae's best friend who had a very influential family, did we? This guy contact some people about our island, and you said we can brought him here because he will be a lot of help later on, if we ever needed backup. You ask us to build a very good relationship with him. He is the one we are talking about."

Kit was frowning more hearing Knock's explanation. Yes, he told them that, but he didn't pay much attention to that person since he never knew any of Tae's best friend, nor any friend. But he thought the guy's face was quite familiar. And once again, how did that guy knew him?

"Okay, make sense. That is how you knew him. But, how did he knew me?"

"You don't remember him?" Knock's question was taking him out from his reverie and was giving a confused look to Knock. "Kit, he is the one who help you when you had your panic attack after you ran out from party. When you lost, he had giving extra effort of finding you. He was one of the people who held the funeral. I thought, I mean, we thought he did that because your best friend was having relationship with his another best friend. I guess, there's more to it?"

Copter remember the guy who helped him. Is he the guy? He knows he really appreciate the help of that guy at that time, but he was so stressed and he was in a mess to think straight.

"Is he the doctor who help me? We just met that one time, and I didn't even talk to him. But, the way he was approaching me just now, he was..... kind of.... desperate. It...was....like....I'm somewhat...important to him."

Knock was sighing hearing Copter. During all these times living together, Copter was quite open to him and truthfully, they both were close somehow. The things he understand about Copter is that, he was desperately hoping for a genuine love and since he was married, he was hoping that he could get that kind of love from his husband. That was why his life was difficult living in that mansion, because of his own expectation. But he couldn't blame Copter for that.

But this Kimmon guy, was desperately approaching him, looking for him, he could see Copter look so fragile right now, and even confused. This guy confused him.

"Let's observe him a little bit more. Only then we will know his real intention, okay? Don't think about it too much. I'll discussed with dad about this."

"He said I'm important to him, P. I don't know how, I don't know why. I was too afraid to ask. Will all this be okay, P?" Copter was coming straight, pounding on Knock, pulling him into the hugs making the guy almost stumble out of shock, after he came back from the dinner he had with Kimmon at the restaurant at the beach. He couldn't help but cried. He never thought someone else other than Bas would care for him and would treat him important.

Knock was rubbing on Copter's back up and down trying to calm him down. Copter was a mess, and he couldn't help but cried his heart out. Knock knows all of this could be overwhelming to this guy, he thought of as his brother already. He cares for him that much. "Kit, no matter what, go with what your heart says. Do you accept this guy? Or will you denied his feelings as well as yours? I'll be here for whatever choice you make Kit. You are not alone anymore. Just, know that, me and dad will always be here, okay?"

Copter pulled himself out of the hugs and was wiping his tears and was looking straight at Knock. "Won't it be wrong if I want to nurture to this feelings? I'm still Tae's husband, am I?"

Knock was sighing to that. "If you didn't realize it yet, what you had with Tae only on papers. But I know how that kind of paper important to you, Kit. Still, just take your time, and think more about all this. Like I said, we will support you in whatever choice you make."

Slowly, Copter was nodding his head. He knows all of this was wrong. This whole things was wrong from the beginning, but now he finally met someone whom he thought will appreciate him for who he is. Someone he was waiting and hoping for all this time. Though he was declared dead formally, he is still someone else's husband. Once he decided to get back to that world, his dead certificate will be revoked, so is his status as Tae's husband will come back to him.

All this is not fair to him. Not fair to Kimmon. Kimmon shouldn't get involved with him. He needs to put a space between them. This all just wasn't right.

Slowly, he went back to his room for another sleepless night.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

So much on putting a space, Copter can't help but smiling every time he receive message from that guy. Just a simple message every time, but it shoot right into his heart.

"Good morning, sunshine"

"Have you had your breakfast? If you don't like taking it alone, I'll be there fast to eat with you."

"Let's have a morning walk together"

"The sunrise is so beautiful today, but your shine on your face was the brightest and the most beautiful I've ever seen."

"I'll be there for the dinner today, wait for me. I'll bring you your kitkat too."

"I'm very tired today. There were so many patient. I'm glad I got help. But I can't help but missing you in the process."

"Good night, Kit. Have a sweet dream about me because you are a dream for me, in sleep an awake."

He is happy for every little attention the guy gave him. He wanted to mask his feelings by being grumpy and moody, but he knows, he had fallen deep. He knows he can't, he knows he shouldn't be like this, but he could not help. He cried almost every night, thinking about what Kimmon makes him feel. If he had a choice, he wanted to run straight to the guy's arm, but he just....couldn't.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"I want to tell Kimmon everything. I don't want to lie to him anymore. This was all too much for me to bare." Copter was telling Prem and Knock when Kimmon had head home after the celebratory dinner they had.

Prem and Knock was looking at each other. They expected that much, watching how Copter had been so awry and couldn't be restful. "How much? You want to tell him everything or only the fact that you are Copter?" Knock asked.

"Everything. If he can forgive me, I want to ask for his help. If he can't accept all of this, then it can't be help. We will just going with our original plan." Copter was saying without been able to look at Prem nor Knock. He was looking down at his own glass, and he had quite a drink tonight. But he wouldn't worry about it, Prem knows how to make a perfect soup for hangover.

"You trust him? Will it be okay telling him everything?" Prem was the one asking Copter. It's not that he didn't trust Kimmon, but as an elder, he need to be cautious. So many people was stabbing on their back, and he didn't wish it to happen again.

"I trust him, dad. I know I can trust him all my heart. But.....if he ever turns his back on me after knowing everything, please help me back to my sense. It will be a hard blow to me." Copter was crying when he said this.

"Why are you always thinking negatively, Kit? You said you trust him, yet, you don't." Knock was telling him while patting on Copter's shoulder.

"I trust him with the secret, P. But regarding me, as a Copter, and his feelings, nobody can really expected anything, right? Of course I hope he will accept a very complicated man as me, but I cannot expect him could accept this whole things easily, right?"

Prem was sighing yet again. He can understand what Copter was trying to say. "Kit, we are here. No matter what, we will always be here. If you decided to tell, than we will support you. Just call for us if you needed our help in explaining or anything."

"No, dad. I will tell him everything myself, but yes, I still want you to be there. Both of you."
