"Arthit, are you sure you want to do this? I mean, let's at least think about it" Kongpob said

"I don't want to, you know how hardly our moms have accepted us, well you also know that they barely have, so I just want to announce it for once and all, make it clear, so that we don't have to walk around with the media following us" arthit replied

Kongpob sighed, nodding he took a seat beside arthit, slowly leaning his head on the others shoulder, who softly brushed his hair

"Is something wrong Kong?" Arthit asked, placing a soft kiss on his hair

"I'm just a little nervous, maybe.." Kongpob's voice came out as a mere whisper

"Don't be, you know I would protect you at all costs right?" Arthit softly asked

Kongpob nodded against his shoulder, humming in response, arthit giggled before pulling him closer by his waist

"Don't worry, you won't even have to speak, I will handle it all, okay?" Arthit asked

"Promise?" Kongpob asked, forwarding his little finger

"Promise" arthit replied, joining their little fingers, chuckling at Kongpob's child like antics

When they heard a knock on the door of Arthit's cabin

"Come in" arthit called as he saw his secretary walk in

"Sir, the media is here, I think we can begin with the press conference" Lara informed

"I will be there in five" arthit replied

Nodding at his words, Lara made her way to the conference room, to make sure everything was perfect and ready, as she also informed the set of rules to the reporters given to her by arthit, which were as follows

• No personal questions will be answered
• Anyone who dares to step out of the limits, will have to meet me personally
• No scandals must be printed, just note down the answers you get

"Let's go hmm?" Arthit asked

Kongpob nodded, standing up straight, he brushed his suit once before following arthit and a few of his staff to the conference room

Everyone stood up as arthit and Kongpob walked in, taking a seat, arthit nodded at them as they all sat down too

"You may start asking questions, but please stick to the rules" Lara informed, before she moved away

"Mr Rojanapat, your last relationship was a normal one with khun apple joncheeravat, when did you start to like men?" One of the reports asked

"Well, firstly I would appreciate if you don't use the word normal to define my earlier relationship, this relationship that I'm currently in, is completely normal as well, we do eat with spoons and forks and do sleep on the bed and let's not forget that we also drink water like normal people" arthit began, as a few reporters chuckled at his sarcasm

"And about me liking men, I just clicked in with Kong, and I don't really know if I remember the exact moment I fell in love with him, I just did" arthit finished

"Mr sutthalik, what are your plans for the future? Are you preparing yourself for all the criticism you would receive?" Another one asked

"I guess, support is all we need, which we do have from our families, and about the society and the media, I don't think living life would be easy if we start to care about what they think, it won't be easy for anyone" Kongpob replied

Arthit placed his hand over Kongpob's under the table, smiling at him proudly while kongpob smiled back in relief

"Do your families completely accept you both?" One of them asked

"They do, I don't think its necessary for all of you to know the details, just knowing that they do is enough" arthit replied

"Do you both plan to marry in the future?" Another one asked

"If we ever do, you all would be invited, so don't worry" Kongpob replied, slightly chuckling

"We heard that the person who let out the news of you both dating is your ex fiance apple?" Another reporter asked

"Well, she is someone I wouldn't really want to talk about, she is absolutely lucky that I'm not a kind of person who believes in revenge, but if necessary I might look into her matter as well" arthit replied, his jaw clenched, as kongpob softly placed his hand on top of Arthit's

And the press conference went on for a while

"I think you have known enough, I hope there isn't anything else you are all curious about" arthit said, standing up

None of the reporters spoke up, quite satisfied with the notes they had made and all the information they had received

Sensing the silence, arthit ended the press conference, walking outside the conference room with kongpob behind him

"We did it!" Kongpob squeaked excitedly

"Yup, we did it" arthit chuckled, ruffling the others hair
