In Another Universe

Clarity (Final Part 2)

( At The Paid Beach)

After waking up it was impossible to make Barcode stop crying, even if he was not making any sound or talking to anyone, tears were leaving his eyes silently, wetting his cheeks as well as his neck on the way

Tong was currently trying to make him say something or tell him what's wrong with Barcode sitting on Build's sunbed with Build, Bible and Jeff sitting on Bible's and Tong sitting on Jeff's

" I don't understand Code, what's wrong? Why are you crying continuously?" Tong asked, instead of answering him Barcode only sniffed and rubbed his eyes with Build still stroking his back, Jeff drummed his fingers on his knee, he knows what's wrong, the three of them all know what the problem is but they need to go to a more private area to talk about it

Maybe they can use Mile's house if Mile, Apo and Tong stays here, Jeff thought this was a good idea, it's not like Mile and Apo would leave their alone time just for tailing them out of curiosity and to their luck Tong is the most understanding human being alive that they know of,

" P'Tong, I know you are worried but I think Barcode is ok, just a little shocked from nearly drowning" Tong opened his mouth to object but Jeff continued " Let us take Barcode back to P'Mile's house, you can continue swimming for now, enjoy your vacation, you have a child that you need to take care of already let us take care of this underdeveloped child for now"

Barcode looked confused, why is his brother's boss insulting him in front of his brother's other boss and his brother in laws?

Tong frowned " But-" Bible, who already walked up to Tong while this conversation was happening, put his hand on Tong's shoulder " P'Tong, don't get me wrong but I think Barcode would open up and talk about his worries easier if it is only Jeff with him" he said

Barcode could tell from the conversations he heard between them that they are calling Khun Kim, Jeff,

" You know they always had a deeper connection" Tong's lips becomes a line but he nodded, giving up for now since what Bible said was true

If there is something wrong with him Barcode would most likely tell about it to Jeff than others including himself

" Ok, ok we will come back in a few hours too, don't think I haven't noticed you are stealing Build away from me once again" he said as if he is complaining but it was apparent that he was still worried because of Barcode, hiding his worry under his grumpiness.

The three of them gathered all their belongings while Barcode watches and took Barcode back to Mile's Summerhouse,

After entering the house and immediately opening the air conditioning, Barcode felt his limbs getting weak from all the crying and tiredness caused by universal travel, he sat down on the couch hugging his knees and continued to cry while Build take his place beside him, Jeff and Bible sitting on the couch opposite side of them

Build put his hand on his shoulder and stroked it with his thumb lightly " What happened Porchay? Why are you here?" he used his name from the other universe hoping to gain his trust

Barcode's eyes widened understanding right away who is the person in front of him, he turned around and hugged Build immediately "P'Pete?! You traveled here too?" Build hugged him back stroking his back gently

" Yes, it's me, I did a long time ago, now tell me why are you here?" Barcode calmed down a little with Build's warmth and rest his head on Build's shoulder " I was shot and then got into a car accident" he said, Build made him remove his head from his shoulder, both Bible and Jeff was watching them with pity written on their eyes

" How can that even happen? Is it the Minor Family? Are they in danger or being threatened or something?" Barcode looked confused, he shrugged his shoulders to show Build that he does not know
