A little snippet.

"I get blamed for their misery... I don't want them to fight... I want at least them to be happy..."

"What about you?"

Kong looked down from the terrace. And smiled. "Sometimes I feel I shouldn't have been born... Things would've been different then... Sometimes... I look down from here..."

Mayur's breath caught as he slowly came closer to Kong with wide eyes. And saw tear drops that fell from those beautiful eyes.

"And I want to jump, to end this all..." Kong whispered. "Maybe... Then I will free everyone including myself from my own curse... But I am a coward to step away everytime... Because if I don't die... I will be more of a burden to them... And I will be held answerable to my actions... And I won't know what to answer... Because they do everything for my happiness... They gave me a life, I should be grateful."

Mayur turned Kong and cupped his blank face, tears rolling down his eyes. "Don't... Don't you ever say those words ever again..."

Kong just smiled. "I am a coward... I can't even hang myself... No matter how many times I tried... Scared that... I will be saved again... Because you see... My room doesn't have a lock... So I will be answerable again... What will I tell them?"

Kong caressed through the locks of the frozen omega with a soft smile. "You are very brave and beautiful Mayur... If I die... One of these days... I will leave a request to have me buried... I think they will fulfill my last wish."

Mayur kept feeling his stomach dropping every passing second.

"Promise me... You will visit my grave... I know you are going to fly like a free bird... Promise me... You will visit me and tell me about the world you are going to experience... That you will show me the world through your eyes..."

"Ssshhh.... Don't say that...please don't say that... Oh my god Kongpob.... Please... What are you saying? How can you be so casual about this?"

"I am just a coward..."

Mayur broke in ugly sobs as he hugged Kong's stiff, blank form tight to himself... Crying miserably... Pulling Kong as tight as he can to himself... While Kong kept looking blankly ahead at the setting sun.

Not knowing how his father clutched over his chest feeling the immense pain that suddenly stabbed through his heart. Standing at the door of the terrace. It was not his intention to eavesdrop but he just loved listening to his younger speak... Kong barely speaks at home. So when Mayur comes... It's a different scene... But to know... That his precious Mishtu wants to end his life was like a gulp of burning charcoal... That inflamed his whole inside...

When Mayur stormed downstairs to be out of that place wearing his aviators to hide his eyes. Kong's parents were just in the living room. And Kong standing at the top of the stairs, too consumed with sadness that he won't be able to see Mayur for a long time... That he won't be able to see Him... Or listen to his singing... That he will be cooped up inside his room while thousands of people out there get their happiness.

"Mayur... Visit us again..." Kerkklai muttered with a smile. When he saw the younger omega storming out without greeting them.

Mayur halted with clenched jaws... but held back as he opened his glasses and faced Kong's parents with a forced smile. "Sure uncle..."

Luna scoffed. "Mayur... Don't your parents take care of you? Don't they see what you wear or how you behave?"

Mayur clenched his jaws, Luna has always hated his friendship with Kong and called him a bad influence because of his bold outspoken nature. But that never discouraged Mayur and for the first time even Kong didn't step away from this friendship.
