Hidden

Chapter 9

Kongpob doesn't know whether he should be happy with what Arthit is planning for him. Since the news that Kongpob is prone to cancer came to be known, Arthit and all his friends were extra careful with him even though he saw how they were trying to act normal with him

And now Arthit has put forward a bomb on him that Kongpob doesn't know whether he should accept or not.

"P'Arthit I-I don't think that is a good idea," Kongpob said.

They're currently in Kongpob's house. It's just been one week since that incident and Kongpob had to stay at the hospital for two days, Phana only filed a discharge after getting a promise from Arthit that he'll bring Kongpob for regular checkups.

Kongpob had finally agreed to do the treatments and Phana had run down several tests for Kong and after the results are out they're planning to start the chemo, which is within the next week.

"Kong, there's nothing to think. Come with me, if you stay with me there'll be a lot of people to look after you in my absence. I don't want to leave you alone. You'll be provided with more facilities. And also, Sam will be safe too." Arthit tried to convince his boyfriend.

"Wha-What about your dad?" Kongpob asked, his voice barely audible.

Arthit had to take a few seconds to properly recognize what the younger was saying. Arthit chuckled as he lifted Kongpob's chin, he held his laughter when he saw him pout a little.

"Babe, listen to me." Kongpob lifted his eyes to meet Arthit's gaze.

"I've talked with my dad and to my surprise, he was more than willing to welcome you to our family. I'm not a person who would bring some random guy or girl into our family. No one and I means it, no one other than my close friends and you know about the path I'm working in. You accepted me as who I'm and I'm more than grateful for that. If I bring someone to my home, to meet my parents that means that person is someone whom I would cherish for my entire time I'm in this world."

By the time Arthit's words died down Kongpob launched himself on Arthit and hugged him tightly.

"I'm sorry that I hurt you so much, I'm sorry I pushed you away. I-I-I don't know how to repay you." Kongpob sniffled. He couldn't handle how Arthit took care of him, the elder loved him so much and he could see that through his actions.

The two days he stayed in the hospital Arthit always took care of him, visited him whenever he was free. Bought him his favorite food from his favorite stall near the campus and he also took care of Sam.

Sam was very scared when he came to know that his brother was hospitalized and he had cried so hard seeing his brother in the hospital bed. Kongpob had to console his little superman. Arthit helped him to distract Sam and Kongpob is glad that the two get along well. He knows that Sam is safe in the elder's hands.

"Please Kong, don't say things like that. You don't have to repay me, you loving me alone makes me happy and that is all I need. I'm only asking you one thing..." Arthit cupped Kongpob's cheeks as he stared deep into those dark brown orbs that were shining with pure love.

"Stay with me, promise me that you'll love me forever and let me take care of you." Arthit smiled when he heard Kongpob let out a chuckle as he nodded his head.

"I promise you P'Arthit, I promise you." Kongpob pecked on Arthit's cheeks.

Arthit smiled wide showing his dimple, he pulled Kongpob closer letting him lay his head on his chest. Arthit leaned back against the headboard of the bed they laid down, his fingers caressing the younger's black smooth locks.
