Couple : Kim x Tay
~~~
Author's POV
"Oi Tay! What do you think, will he die?", Tankhun asked while biting his nails.
"How can I know Khun? I am also watching it for the first time.", Tay said with a shrug.
Suddenly the protagonist in the show falls and clutches his chest pain, and both Tankhun and Tay gasps. They watch it in suspense, unsure of what will happen next.
Then the prognosis pulls out a gun, shoots the villain and delivers a savage dialogue making Tankhun and Tay jump in joy.
As they both were celebrating, Tankhun accidentally spilt his wine on Tay's white velvet crop top.
"Ai Shiaaa! TANKHUN!", Tay cursed as he grabbed a napkin and tried to dab the stain off his beloved crop top.
"Oii! Tay! Sorry!", apologised Tankhun as he tried to help him wipe off the wine. "That looks like an expensive damage!"
"Hell yes!", Tay exclaimed. "I got this from Paris Fashion Week last year for 1000 dollars!"
"Ow! I am sorry love! I will buy you a new one!", Tankhun said.
"Of course! You should!", Tay replied, clearly upset about the stain.
"Fine dear!", Tankhun said as he rolled his eyes. "Now you go and change. Pick anything from my wardrobe"
"Hell no!", Tay exclaimed. "Not from your wardrobe! I will look like a clown!"
"Oii! You know nothing about fashion", Tankhun groused, crossing his arms.
"That's not fashion. That's just a disaster waiting to happen," Tay said, giving Tankhun a sassy look.
"Whatever!", Tankhun said. "Well, I think Kim's clothes can fit you. Go to his room, if luck favours, you may find his old clothes. But I think he took everything when he moved out."
Tay thought for a moment and replied, "Fine. I will take my chances. Where is his room by the way?"
"Pol, take him to Kim's room", Tankhun said as he sat on his sofa, cross-legged.
"Khab Khun Nuu!", said Pol, the bodyguard. "Khun Tay khab, this way please."
Tay followed Pol to Kim's room. As they reached there, Tay said, "I will look for it Pol. You can go."
"Khab Khun. You can call me if there is any problem", Pol said and bowed and left.
Tay went inside the room. He glanced around, taking in the unfamiliar surroundings of Kim's room.
The bed was covered in a white bedsheet, pristine and untouched. He slowly looked around and then walked up to the cupboard. He opened it to find 4 to 5 T-shirts.
He browsed the shirts to find something that he might like. While he was searching through the closet, the bathroom door opened, which Tay didn't notice.
Kim walked out of the bathroom and saw the cupboard door open and someone searching through it. He couldn't see who it was from his angle but got a glimpse of the person's back.
A tiny but elegant body. The person had feminine features. Then suddenly the person took out a white T-shirt from his cupboard. He then removed his crop top, exposing his back to Kim.
Kim couldn't help but stare. The mysterious person had a milky white complexion and beautiful curves. But his smooth skin had red marks of beatings and bruises.
As he was wondering what might have happened, his phone started ringing, which made Tay turn around in surprise to see Kim standing there, caught off guard.
Kim looked at him and then picked up his phone from his pocket and went out to attend the call. Tay then quickly put the T-shirt on. Within minutes Kim returned to the room.
"I am sorry, I should have made some noise to let you know that I was here.", Tay said.
"No worries, it's my fault for not announcing myself.", Kim said.
"Tankhun said you weren't here, but now...", Tay asked.
"I came to meet my father also I had some errands to run.", Kim replied.
"Oh!", Tay said. "Well, I am borrowing this shirt. Your sweet brother did me a favour by spilling his drink on my expensive top."
"Tankhun?", Kim asked with a smirk.
"Yes", Tay replied, rolling his eyes. Kim chuckled.
"Why are you chuckling? He destroyed one of most favourite tops, you know", Tay said as he pouted. Kim couldn't help but smile at his cuteness.
"Khun Tay Khab!", Pol called out from outside the room. "Khun Nu is looking for you khab"
"I have to go now Kim, catch you later bye. ", Tay said as he picked up his crop top. "And I'll return your T-shirt later."
Kim nodded and watched Tay leave the room.
"Cute", Kim said to himself as he closed the cupboard door and leaned against it, a small smile playing on his lips.
Later that day
Kim reached his apartment after finishing his work. He took a shower, changed clothes, cooked dinner and went to his study room.
Still, he couldn't stop thinking of Tay. He then called Big.
"Khun Kim, you asked for me? Any problem?", Big said as he bowed.
"Do you know Tay?", Kim asked while working on his laptop.
"Tay?", Big repeated, perplexed. Kim glanced at him. Suddenly Big remembered.
"Khun Tay khab? He is Khun Kinn's childhood best friend"
Kim nodded and asked, "What about his personal life? Do you know anything?"
"Khab. Khun Tay's parents are also into business, they own 25% of the Theeranpanyakul shares and he has a boyfriend named Khun Time, they have been together since college Khab."
"Mm", Kim said.
"But...", Big said.
"But what?"
"Um...I don't know if I should be saying this but some of my friends who work as bodyguards for Khun Tay and Khun Time said that Khun Time is very abusive towards Khun Tay", Big explained.
Kim looked up from the laptop and looked at Big for some time, then looked outside the window.
"Get every detail about Time. His family, his affairs, his favourites, even the colour of his underwear.", Kim ordered.
"Khab Khun", Big bowed and left. Kim continued looking outside while thinking about Tay.
After some days
Kim went to his studio for some work. After finishing up his work, he returned to his apartment.
While returning, the road he usually takes was very busy, so he decided to take a shortcut.
While driving slowly through the shortcut he saw a familiar face. He stopped the car to look at that person clearly.
It was Tay. He was licking an ice cream, while standing in the road, like a child. A small smile plastered on Kim's face while looking at the view.
He got out of the car and walked up to Tay, slowly and stood behind him. He slowly extended his arm and tapped him, startling Tay.
"Oh! Kim! It's you!", Tay exclaimed. "You scared me."
Kim smiled and said, "What are you doing here?"
"Where there is ice cream there is Tay", Tay replied in a childish tone and started licking his ice cream. Kim couldn't control but chuckle at Tay's cuteness.
Then suddenly, Kim noticed hand prints on Tay's face, as if he had recently been slapped. His smile faded as soon as he noticed it.
Suddenly Tay's phone starts ringing. He took out his phone and it was Time. He attended the call.
"WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU TAY?", Time yelled. Even Kim heard it. Tay flinched at the suddenness.
"I...I am out", Tay stuttered. Kim felt bad for Tay and was angry at Time.
"WHEREVER YOU ARE COME HOME RIGHT NOW!", Time yelled again. Kim's anger grew as he listened to the conversation. He clenched his fists in anger.
"Kh...khab.", Tay replied. He then looked at Kim and smiled weakly.
Kim could see the pain in Tay's eyes, masked by that weak smile, and his heart ached for him.
"Umm...I need to leave Kim. Time has called.", Tay said, fear was evident in his voice.
Kim nodded. "Do you want me to drop you?", he asked. Tay shook his head and said, "No, my driver is here."
His driver arrived and he left while bidding goodbye to Kim.
As he returned to his car, but couldn't stop thinking about Tay. He then decided to follow Tay and see if he was okay.
As he reached the mansion gate where Tay lived, he noticed that it was heavily guarded. So he somehow sneakily entered the mansion without being detected.
Once inside the mansion, Kim cautiously moved through the corridors, keeping an eye out for any signs of trouble.
As he walked, he heard shouts coming from one of the rooms at, the far end of the corridor. Assuming it must be Tay and Time's room, he walked up to the door.
He found the door slightly open, he could see inside the room. As he peeped inside he found Time had held Tay's arm tightly and was berating him. Tay on the other hand, was looking down, tears flowing down from his face.
Suddenly he slapped Tay, violently making him fall on the floor.
"FUCKING WHORE!", Time yelled before storming out of the room angrily. By then Kim had hidden himself.
As soon as Time left, Kim entered the room. Tay was still on the floor, crying. Kim knelt and took Tay in his arms.
"Ki...Kim", Tay tried to speak.
"Shh...don't speak.", Kim consoled him. He then got up and took some water and gave it to Tay to drink.
After drinking the water, he looked at Kim and said, "What are you doing here?"
"That's not important right now.", Kim said. "Come with me."
"Where to?", Tay asked.
"Trust me. Just come with me", Kim replied with a soft but determined voice. Tay didn't think too much, so he just got up and went with Kim.
Kim took Tay outside the mansion by using the same route he had used to enter the mansion.
They sat in Kim's car and drove away. Tay just looked outside the window, lost in his thoughts. From time to time his eyes would well up with tears. Kim watched Tay in silence, his heart aching for him.
The whole drive was filled with eerie silence.
Soon they reached Kim's apartment. But Kim didn't allow Tay to get off immediately. He first went in and checked if any other bodyguards were there or not.
Once he confirmed there were no one except Big, he went towards the car and opened the door for Tay to come out.
Tay got out off the car and Kim guided him to his apartment. Big saw them and bowed, then his eyes widened in shock to find handprints on Tay's cheeks.
Kim took Tay to his room. "You take rest. I will get you dinner", he said before leaving. Tay just looked at him leave. He then sat on the edge of the bed and wept silently.
"Khun Kim Khab", Big said. "What happened to Khun Tay?"
"Time abused him", Kim replied with a mixture of anger and sadness. "Big, go get some dinner."
"Khab Khun", Big said and left. Kim waited outside his room till Big returned with food. Soon Big returned.
Kim then arranged the dinner on a plate and brought it to Tay. He pulled out a bed tray and placed the food on it.
"Please eat something, you will feel better." Tay looked at the plate of food, his eyes still filled with tears, but nodded silently and began to eat.
After eating, Kim took the plate and left. A little later, he returned. Tay was leaning towards the headboard of the bed, lost in his thoughts.
"Tay", Kim said, Tay looked at him, "Go take a bath, you will feel fresh"
Tay thought for a moment and nodded. He got up and went to the bathroom to take a bath. Kim prepared some comfortable clothes for him.
As Tay finished his bath, he emerged from the bathroom feeling slightly rejuvenated. He wore the clothes given by Kim. He then lay on the bed.
"I will be in the next room. Call me if you need anything", Kim said and was about to leave when Tay asked, Kim, can you stay with me?"
Kim looked at him with tender eyes and replied, "Of course, I'll stay with you."
Then removed his coat and lay beside Tay. They both were laying face to face on the bed, their hearts racing with unspoken emotions.
