Destiny 》

chapter 7

Three days. It has been three days since arthit last saw Kongpob at the wedding, when they later went for dinner together

Its been three days, and kongpob isn't coming to the sight, or messaging arthit, nor did arthit find him in the cafe, somewhere he goes nearly everyday and arthit was now worried

Why? He didn't know, he was just worried, though he couldn't get himself to message Kongpob, he didn't want to show him that he was worried

He was going through the internet, finding some information on a topic he needed to know about, when a notification popped up which caught his attention

The new married couple hyunjin and apple spotted at the airport, leaving for Switzerland for their honeymoon

"You didn't have new ideas huh?" Arthit chuckled, without any humour in his voice, instead his eyes seemed glossy

"Oon when we get married, let's spend our honeymoon time in Switzerland! Its going to be a perfect destination for us" apple squealed

"As you wish, baby" arthit replied smiling at her

"Wasn't it a perfect destination for us?" Arthit whispered, as he lay his head back on the chair, shutting his eyes

But not even a second later he jerked awake, his eyes held surprise in them, his face expressing mixed emotions, as he gulped the lump in his throat

"Wh..why him?" Arthit whispered to himself

Everytime he closed his eyes, all he was met with were his memories with apple, the happy ones, the sad ones, the ones that he cherished and the ones that killed him, but today, all he saw was Kongpob

What's happening to me? Arthit thought

"Mom! Don't, they are bitter" Kongpob whined, scrunching his nose at the sight of the medicines

"And also healthy, you need to have them to get better Kong, you have been in a fever since the last three days" suruchi explained

Kongpob pouted at her, but all she did was push the tablet in his mouth and hand him the glass of water

Left with no other choice, Kongpob quickly gulped the tablet with the help of the water as suruchi smiled in victory

"Now my son, rest, I'm sure you will be fine by tomorrow" suruchi said, kissing his forehead, she left the room

Kongpob stuck his tongue out, scowling at the bitter taste still present on his tongue, when his eyes searched for his phone again

Going through the notification bar, he sighed in disappointment again, arthit hasn't yet messaged him

Kongpob hoped for arthit to, he wanted him to, but looks like arthit didn't even notice his absence

With his thoughts turning negative, kongpob lips formed a pout as he hid inside the blankets, sulking
________________

Arthit was laying on his bed, his mind filled with kongpob, the whole day today all he did was think about the other

Arthit tried shrugging off the thoughts multiple times but it just didn't help, his mind was completely occupied by kongpob

And kongpob being practically missing was not helping his situation, picking up his phone from the bedside table, arthit's fingers hovered over Kongpob's contact

Should he message him or not? Was the question wandering in arthit's head, he didn't want to look like an attention seeker but he was also very worried about the other

Taking in a deep breath, arthit clicked on his contact, quickly typing a message and sending it, before he would get time to change his decision

Arthit

Hey Kong, are you all good? Just wondering because I haven't seen you around in like three days....

Kongpob jumped up on the bed, sitting up straight as he grinned at the message, without thinking twice, he pressed the call button and not even a minute later arthit accepted the call

"Hey there" Kongpob giggled

"Hi" arthit replied, as he sighed in relief, hearing Kongpob's voice all giggly after three whole days made him feel better 

"Are the angels showering their love on me today? I get a message from the Arthit Rojanapat and then he also picked up my call" kongpob gasped dramatically

"Have you always been this dramatic?" Arthit asked, softly smiling on the other side of the phone

"Yup, since forever" kongpob proudly replied

"Though, are you okay? I mean, are you sick or something?" Arthit asked

"You are worried?" Kongpob asked teasingly

"Before speaking nonsense again, just keep in mind that my thumb is hovering over the end call button" arthit warned

"Okay okay, sorry, I am just laying on my bed in fever since the last three days, though I'm very better now" Kongpob replied

"Oh" arthit replied

"So we are friends now, aren't we?" Kongpob suddenly asked

"Who said so?" Arthit asked, the smile never leaving his lips

"Come on, you were worried about me, so obviously we are friends" Kongpob replied

"How are you so sure that I'm worried about you?" Arthit asked

"Well, I read this somewhere, whatever people say during night is mostly true, because people tend to lie less when they are tired" Kongpob replied

"Don't trust me" arthit faintly chuckled

"I do, I do trust you" Kongpob replied

"Though, I don't trust you..." Arthit's voice trailed off when he realised what he had said

An awkward silence suddenly surrounded them, as arthit cursed under his breath, he always said something stupid and messed things up

"I know" Kongpob breathed out a minute later

Arthit felt guilt taking over him, when he heard the sadness in Kongpob's voice, he was obviously hurt

"Kong.." Arthit was cut by Kongpob

"I need to take rest now though, good night arthit, thanks for worrying" Kongpob mumbled before he cut the call

Arthit sighed, putting the phone away, he lay down on the bed, suddenly feeling heavy at heart, he shouldn't have said that, it must have hurt the other, but it was now done, and he couldn't change it

And that's how arthit spent his night, over thinking as he found his guilt eating him up
