Arthit and kongpob were currently stuck in a meeting, since the last three hours, there were a few points they weren't able to agree on, with each other

"Mr sutthalik, please try to understand" arthit requested

"You must try to understand me too, I completely agree that the budget and time as of now isn't too much, but we can't just set up anything and present it Mr Rojanapat, it needs to be presentable" Kongpob explained

"Do you have any better ideas then?" Arthit asked, leaning back in his chair, his voice coming out a little harsh

"That's what we are here to discuss" Kongpob replied

"We can't seem to find any, and I'm tired" arthit reasoned out

"Let's take a break then, freshen our minds, and start thinking all over again" Kongpob suggested

"I can't be spending my whole life only on this project Mr sutthalik, I do have other businesses to handle even if you don't" arthit replied, his voice cold

"What do you wish to mean by that? Do you think I'm sitting idle? I have ten times more pressure on myself that you, Its my first ever project as a CEO Mr Rojanapat" Kongpob said, sounding offended

"You should have let your father continue then, if all of this exerts a lot of pressure on you" arthit replied

"I think its better if we take a break, excuse me" Kongpob spoke in a small voice as he stood up and walked away

Arthit sighed, he knew he was too harsh, but he just couldn't help it, this is what he had become, nothing mattered to him more than business, and even if something did, he didn't know how to express it

Taking a deep breath, he walked out, to follow Kongpob, spotting him sitting with his head hung low in a room, arthit made his way to him

Slowly pushing the door open, he quietly walked in, hesitantly sitting beside the other

"Kongy..." Arthit's voice trailed off

"Don't you dare kongy me now, ain't I Mr sutthalik? That too a useless one?" Kongpob asked, shifting away from him

"I'm sorry Kong, I didn't mean it that way, you know..I..it just slipped off my tongue" arthit replied, shifting closer to kongpob

"Go away, don't talk to me" kongpob spoke in a muffled voice, his face was stuffed in his hands, he was sincerely hurt by the others words

"Will you not forgive me kongy? I'm truly and genuinely sorry, please" arthit whispered the last part

Kongpob didn't reply, instead arthit heard soft sobs, his eyes slightly widened, as he immediately, as if by instinct put his hands around kongpob, pulling him in for a hug

"I..I was already nervous and very insecure, I thought I would not be able to handle all of this, that I would make a b..bad CEO, and you saying the exact same words, didn't help" kongpob mumbled between his sobs

"I didn't know you were this nervous Kong, I..I'm sorry, I didn't put any thoughts to my words, you know I would never want to hurt you, please, I'm sorry" arthit apologized, patting his back comfortingly

Kongpob silently nodded against arthit's shoulder, tightening his hold against the other, while arthit sighed in relief, and swore to himself, to never talk rudely to kongpob no matter what the situation is

"Let's go back and continue properly now hmm? I will listen to all of your points properly" arthit said in the softest voice he could bring out

Kongpob shook his head, a pout forming on his lips as he rubbed his eyes with his fist, looking like a baby sulking for chocolate

"I don't want to work anymore today" kongpob mumbled

"Okay okay, we won't, if you don't want to, let's get back to the hotel okay?" Arthit asked as he felt kongpob nod

"Kong, its nine already, we have an early flight tomorrow, we need to sleep" arthit repeated the same sentence for the fifteenth time

"Fine fine" kongpob replied, walking towards the taxi stop like a penguin making arthit chuckle

"How do you manage to be so cute?" Arthit asked giggling

Kongpob's smile widened, while arthit's eyes did as well, as soon as the words fell out of his mouth

"So you find me cute huh?" Kongpob teased

"I..the taxi is here, do you want to miss it? Come on, get in" arthit hurried inside the taxi with a laughing kongpob following

Arthit lay on his bed, thinking about the events that took place the whole day, he still felt guilty for making kongpob feel that way, he knew he apologized and kongpob also forgave him, but he was just not feeling good

He was deep in his thoughts, when he heard a faint knock on his door, furrowing his eyebrows in confusion, he pulled the door open only to find Kongpob grinning at him

"What is it?" Arthit asked

"What would you do if I say I can't find my key and so am locked outside my room?" Kongpob asked

"I would call you a stupid and let you in" arthit replied, moving away

"And that is why I love y..." Kongpob's words denied to fall out, realising what he had uttered

"You can go freshen up, let's head to bed then, its quiet late" arthit said, looking everywhere but at kongpob

Nodding, Kongpob sprinted off to the bathroom, face palming himself as soon as he closed the door shut

Why not call it an accidental confession day today? Arthit asked himself, his cheeks a light shade of red

Would you notice something sensible instead of being all shy? Man! He almost confessed to you, kongpob loves you, he loves you back, arthit heard his heart shout

"He loves me back" arthit whispered, repeating what his heart had just told him

Gosh! Kongpob loves arthit back!
