Destiny 》

chapter 14

"Kong, are you fine?" Arthit asked concerned, as he stared at Kongpob's pale face

"I don't think so" Kongpob replied in a tiny voice

"Are you scared of flights? Or are you not well?" Arthit asked

"I'm scared of heights, so yeah, the first option" Kongpob replied

"You should have told me, I would have done something about it" arthit said sighing

"Like what? You would have asked the pilot to drive the plane till Korea instead, since it has wheels?" Kongpob asked sarcastically

"You would never leave your sarcasm in any situation, would you?" Arthit mumbled, wondering what to now do

Kongpob on the other hand felt uncomfortable, he didn't feel good inside, he felt awful and sick, his eyes felt droopy, as he slowly put his head on arthit's shoulder

Arthit flinched by the sudden action, he looked at Kongpob, breathing heavily, he indeed looked sick, arthit put his hand over the others shoulder, slightly patting his head

Kongpob hummed at the feeling, he surprisingly felt

"Better" kongpob mumbled

"Huh?" Arthit asked, not catching his words

Kongpob backed away, making arthit furrow his eyebrows in confusion, before Kongpob slowly lifted the separation hand handle between their seats and scooted closer to arthit

Placing his head on his shoulder again, Kongpob closed his eyes, sighing in satisfaction, arthit on the other hand, had a tint of blush on his cheeks

Slowly and hesitantly, he put his hand around Kongpob's waist, pulling him a little closer as kongpob happily snuggled in his shoulder, not able to hide the smile that played on his lips

Arthit turned away, staring outside the window, the smile never leaving his lips as well, as he tried to hide it by biting his lips but failed, making Kongpob smile wider, who noticed it all

They were an hour away from their destination, kongpob was soundly sleeping on arthit's shoulder, while he was reading a book he had bought along

The scene looked pretty domestic, anyone out there could easily assume that the two were dating or even assume them to be married due to how comfortable they both looked, as if this was something they would on a normal day do

The old lady, who was seated beside Kongpob, smiled at the both of them, admiring the said domestic scene before she spoke up in a soft voice

"Is he scared of flights?"

Arthit's eyes left the book and stopped at the old lady, before he nodded, with a small polite smile

"It's beautiful to see, how caring you are for your husband" she replied, smiling

Not only arthit's cheeks but also his ear turned red at the remark, husband? The word kept repeating itself in his head

Arthit knew he should deny, Kongpob wasn't his husband, but somehow no words fell out of his mouth, probably because he was too surprised, or because he didn't very much object the idea

Whatever the reason was, arthit just returned the lady a nervous smile, who then shifted her attention back to her own book

Arthit's interest from the story in his hands was long gone, and all he could now think of was, kongpob

Kongpob, my husband? Do we look like a couple right now? Arthit asked himself unconsciously blushing at the thought
