Unkind

Frong sitting all alone in the back of the bus. He shooed Thara away and refuse to sit with him. his words from earlier still echoes through his mind.

'Don't think too much, we are Brothers right?'

Brothers....

After all of the affection, kindness and attention that p'Thara showers him lately, he mistook the feelings as love but for p'Thara he is nothing other than brother to him.

Frong just want to laugh in agony, he would never find his true love, wouldn't he? After Bohn snatch Duen away, he vows to himself not to fall in love that easily but then p'Thara come and sway his heart...

Only to break it even more...

He sighed, p'Thara looks so worried at him when he didn't want to sit with him. and he refused with rude attitude and throw harsh word to him. Frong knows, that p'Thara is oblivious to his feeling for him but he just can't take it anymore. Before it goes too far, he needs to distance himself from him.

"p'Yim." Frong look at beside him and Duen smile sweetly at him while waving. Frong force a smile at him.

"hi, Duen. What's wrong? Why are you sitting here?" Frong ask, he look around and saw Bohn is glaring at him fiercely from safe distance. Bohn is really a jealous bitch when it comes to Duen. Isn't it clear already that he didn't like Duen like he used to before?

"your boyfriend look like he want to kill me." Frong chuckles, Duen look at Bohn and give him middle finger.

"ignore him, P'. Anyway, is there something wrong?" Duen asks carefully, clearly he is afraid to offend him and Frong raised his eyebrows.

"what do you mean?"

"well, i overheard that you were refusing to sit with my dearest cousin so i just want to know. It really bummed him. If you didn't want to talk about it, it's okay! I'm just curious and want to help him." Duen said.

Frong notice that Bohn still look at them fiercely and there is p'Thara sit beside him.

"so yeah, i switch seats with him because i really want to know." Duen said.

Frong hesitated a little, in one side he really want to talk about his feeling to someone but the fear of p'Thara might be reject him after he knows his true feelings make him sad.

"i won't tell p'Thara the details. It's just, since we all go eat ice cream together that time, i notice something between you two. It might be just my hunch, but ugh i don't know. Anyway, your secret safe with me, i promise." Duen said again. Frong sigh, he knows he is being too obvious that day. When the girls talk about how he and p'Thara would make a good couple really make his heart beat faster than usual.

"am i that obvious?" Frong said, finally give in. He would talk about this to Duen because he really need someone to talk about this.

"oh my god, so it is really true!" Duen gasp in low voice and smile.

"is he always that kind toward anyone?" Frong asks, Duen chuckles.

"yes, he is. He is an angel, isn't he?" Duen said and Frong nods in agreement.

"well yeah because of that..." Frong paused

"because of that... i mistook his feelings. He just think of me as... brother." Frong continue his sentence and smile bitterly, Duen take a glance at p'Thara whose head face sideways from them. Ignoring Bohn who is still looking at them and pouting over there.

"i'm so sorry..." Duen apologized, he didn't even know why is he saying sorry to p'Frong.

"it's okay, i'm used to this. Liking someone without them returning the same feeling." Hearing that, Duen's face dropped and he even felt guilty than before. Notice this, Frong pat his shoulder and smile.
