- You travel without me and don't take care of yourself. Hitting me like that. What should I do with you? Nan said loudly making Mac shake his head and look at his boyfriend with a mournful expression.
-I didn't want to come to the hospital, replied Mac sarcastically.
- Do you know how angry I was when I found out you were in the hospital? Nan asked.
-What, are you worried about me? Are you angry first? Mac asked back.
Nan gave Mac a fierce look so Mac continued to rest his head on that person's chest because he didn't want to be scolded.
- That's why I'm so worried and angry. How much time do I have to calm down? Before I come to see you, Nan said again.
Mac kept quiet and didn't say anything because he was afraid that if he argued with Nan the argument would really turn into a fight.
-Today you will be with me, right? So you're not working in Bangkok and what are you going to do next? Mac asked as he remembered.
-I quit my job to see you here. Let me deal with what got you to the hospital in the first place. Then I'll take you back to Bangkok. You don't have to travel with the others anymore, you can come back and help me. It's better for your father too.
Nan spoke in a deep voice, making Mac feel guilty for making his boyfriend miss work.
- I want to go home too, Mac answered, his voice low, then he sighed heavily.
Are you really going to the restaurant? Mac asked as he remembered.
Yes, I need to know how you managed to eat garlic. If not, I'm worried about it. If you are wrong then I will scold you, you will have to be more carefully than that. It's no joke....if you lose more you might even die....the restaurant will be responsible for everything..... I didn't even think about the restaurant or ask for anything, I just wanted to know that you take care of yourself.
- When you leave? Mac asked.
"Afternoon," Nan replied and Mac nodded.
- Since when did you wake up? he asked.
Just a moment before you arrive, Mac said again.
Then go to bed. I'm right here Nan said and Mac released him from his arms then helped Mac up to lay a blanket over him. Nan moved to a chair beside the bed Mac looked at his lover's face.
Tired? Mac asked raising an eyebrow slightly
-About? Nan asked back shortly.
- Are you tired of continuing to search and change like this? Are you going to work and earn money make me study and send me to use it? Many of your subordinates work hard. Are you fed up? Mac asked. He knew his boyfriend was very tired, more tired than he was.
- This hurts! Mac shouted as Nan slapped his forehead.
-Don't ask about it again. Is there anyone who works and is not tired? Everyone else is tired too...You also accepted the part-time job. You are tired? You're not the only one.... I'm better than you because I don't need to sit down and stress about submitting papers to professors, exams, or sitting and waiting to see when you'll graduate like you, he explained Nan.
Mac was a little quiet.
- Everyone has their role. Everyone is tired. Even though I do my duty as well as I can, I also do my best, Nan said in a serious tone.
Mac then nodded. Before talking about other things until Keith, Ohm and Jonathan return.
"Oh, I bought it for you," Keith said, handing Nan a bag of porridge.
Nan took it and poured it into the bowl he had in his room and sat down to eat. Mac looked down with mischievous eyes. Because last night he threw up. The emergency room was completely silent.
- I'm hungry now.
-Do you want to eat?
Nan pretended to ask and Mac nodded.
- He's waiting for food at the hospital.... I still don't know what the doctor allows you to eat.
With that Mac frowned but didn't argue.
The doctor came to examine Mac.
Nan rose to speak to the doctor.
- In conclusion, Mac's symptoms are not severe, but I need to sit and watch the symptoms and finish the injections first, so that he can be injections first so he can be discharged tomorrow afternoon.
-If I ask you to take him back to Bangkok Is it possible tonight? Nan asked back.
-Okay, but you have to take the patient to the hospital to complete the treatment. I will make documents to send to the hospital in Bangkok and the doctor will take care of it.
are you coming back today Ohm asked as the doctor left and Nan nodded.
- You stay with your friends first. When you get back to Bangkok, call me. I will send someone to the airport to pick you up.
Jonathan nodded.
- So, when are you going to that restaurant? Ohm asked as he remembered.
- I'll wait until Mac has breakfast and then we'll go, Nan answered.
Mac's breakfast soon arrived, although it was the same as porridge, but not as appetizing as Nan's.
- Eat this first, get well then I'll take you out to eat whatever you want to eat. But I don't know how many things there will be. It's so hard to eat.
Nan pretended to complain. Mac just looked at him but said nothing.
Their friends came from the resort.
- Jerry didn't come with you? Jonathan asked.
-Um, he said he doesn't like the hospital. So I let him sleep in the resort, Jeffrey replied.
So where are you going? Dannyb asked after greeting everyone.
-Let's go to the restaurant you went to last night and see what happened, Nan answered and everyone nodded.
- Wait a minute, I'll be with - your friend first. Then he came over and rubbed Mac, ready to say something.
-Hm, if it's ok to supervise the restaurant, don't be angry with him, and Mac first warned the boyfriend.
- But if it's your carelessness, I'm completely unrestrained, right? Nan pretended to ask him back.
Mac immediately shook his head and Nan giggled before turning to Jonathan.
Let me see that too, he said.
-Oh, don't worry, Jonathan replied before Nan, Ohm and Keith left together.
Ohm calls him to tell the restaurant manager to ask to come in and see the security cameras.
- Will anyone think we're coming to attack the restaurant? Ohm asked jokingly when he saw that Keith's security had come with him and Nan.
Ohm noticed since they went to eat and buy porridge for Nan.
- Just in case, Keith said with a slight shrug, but luckily with the restaurant manager it is easy to talk.
He agreed to let them look at surveillance footage of Mac's order, which shows in that clip that no garlic was added, but neither the pan nor the plate were contaminated. And there is no wrong service.
- By the way, where did Mac go after the garlic? Ohm asked confused, standing up with a slight frown.
- Then let me look at the room in the restaurant section, the room that shows the table where my friend ate last night, Nan asked.
The room was open for viewing. It continued to scroll before Ohm and Keith turned to look at each other, Nan gritted her teeth until the veins rose to her temples.
-Nan, calm down, said Ohm when they found out why Mac accidentally ate garlic.
-Thanks for showing me the security cameras. I'm sorry to have you wasted time Keith said to the restaurant manager who was sitting there with a confused look on his face.
- Do you know the reason? asked the restaurant manager and Nan hurried to leave.
Keith immediately followed.
-I know, it's not the restaurant's fault, I'm sorry, Ohm said to the manager before running and then leaving in a hurry as well.
- Man, calm down.
Keith tried to calm his friend's temper.
-Oh, where is that boy? Where do you live? Nan asked in a deep voice.
When he discovers that it was Jerry who took the sauce from his own plate and put it on Mac's plate.
- You have to be calmer than that bastard. Otherwise you'll kill that boy with your bare hands Keith warned in a serious tone as his eyes were hard.
His temples were throbbing because his teeth were clenched.
- And who is it? What right does he have to do with Mac to do that? What if the person killed is Mac? He could be responsible, dammit! Nan cursed angrily, now feeling very hot.
He was so angry it was deafening.
-Listen to me, Nan... I'm also upset that Jerry did this, but we won't talk to that boy until you calm down, I'm not protecting the boy. But I'm protecting you, do you understand?
Ohm tried to convince him that because of his state of mind, now if he saw Jerry's face, Ohm was sure Jerry would be hurt.
-Damn it!
Nan screamed and paced back and forth until she got into his car
-Okay, I'll take you to Jerry's. But I have to let Jeff take it because he'll know what he's doing because by the looks of it, he probably doesn't know it, Om said when he saw him.
-So, go get that baby and then take him to the hospital. I'll take this bastard back and we'll wait there for at least an hour to calm down, Keith offered.
Ohm nodded before Keith pulled him into the car with his bodyguards. He then let Ohm drive a car to fulfill Nan's request.
After arriving at the hospital, Nan took a somber walk to Mac's recovery room.
Keith followed quickly as well.
There was a loud sound that opened the door causing Mac who was sitting on the bed and Mac's friend who was sitting on the couch to be shocked.
Nan walks over and looks at Jeffy's face as well and then walks towards Jeffy, but Keith quickly blocks him and pushes his friend away:
-Hey, calm down, Keith reminded his friend.
-What the hell is this? Mac asked suddenly. suspicious of his friends, especially Jeffy, who seemed to be angry with him.
-You never taught your own brother anything! he shouted angrily at Jeffy.
Mac stood up immediately.
-You are here at the hospital. People will be scared, Keith warned him again.
- You asked me to talk at the hospital, in case I was a little careful with the place, but you forgot that your friend wouldn't care in front of anyone.
-What it is? Why are you talking about Jerry?" Jeffy asked curiously.
-Your brother put the garlic in Mac's plate...If something happened to Mac......can you and he take responsibility? Nan called back to Jeffy.
When Mac's eyes immediately turned and looked at Jeffy.
-You're crazy? My brother? Jeffrey asked truly ignorantly.
-Surveillance cameras of restaurant filmed everything, Keith confirmed, making Jeffy sit still.
Really, Jeff? Mac asked his friend and the others were puzzled.
I really don't know, Mac, I really don't know, Jeffy said, his voice strained.
Nan just stood there looking angry.... She had already repressed so much. Otherwise, would he have pounced on this Jeffy guy?
- Nan calls her lover Mac.
Nan walks to the side of the bed grumbling, Mac takes Nan by the hand.
Calm down, Mac said, squeezing his lover's hand gently.
-What the hell control? That bastard kid put you in the hospital. Aren't you mad at him? If you are hurt, what are you going to say? he asked in a stern voice.
-I'm angry, but what do you want me to do? Mac asked back when he found out he admitted he was mad at Jerry. But he was very embarrassed because Jerry is Jeffy's brother.
If his boyfriend does something to him....Mac sees the look on Jeffy's face and assumes that a friend was innocent.
I don't know anything about it. Jeffy said.
-You don't have to do anything, I'll do it, answered Nan.
The two spoke in Thai. Mac's friends don't know what the two were talking about, but they are suspicious enough to know that it must be Jerry and Jeffy
-Nan, it must be easy. I don't want it to be a big deal because it's not that serious. When Frog gave me garlic to eat, my condition was even worse, you just kicked him out of the house.
- Are you a monk now? Having said that, the boyfriend is back.
His mood was still irritated.
-Nan, if my brother is really to blame. I would also like to apologize on behalf of my brother, Jeffy said in a strained tone.
You don't have to apologize for your brother, he is irreplaceable, Nan said sharply.
Jeffy turned to look at Mac.
-Mac, I knew this whole trip, my brother and I were causing you trouble. ...I'm sorry.... If you want me to do something you can say so, Jeffy said to Mac.
Mac looked at his friend and let out a heavy sigh.
- I don't know, Jeffy...Honestly, I'm nervous right now. I feel lost and overwhelmed right now, Mac replied.
"Calm down, wait for Jerry to come and then we'll ask again to find out why," Jonathan said.
Before everyone fell silent, only the sound of the television could be heard in the background. Mac who continues to gently caress his lover's arms with hands. Until some time passed. The bedroom door opened.
-I don't know why. I told you before that I don't like hospitals.
Jerry's growl grew louder as he didn't know why he was brought to the hospital. Because Ohm just said they were all gathered to talk about important things.
And just as Jerry drew nearer, he saw Nan, who thought her temper had cooled a little, coming over again. Scared Mac grabbed that arm but couldn't catch it as he ran to meet Jerry.
-No no! cried Mac.
Coup
A heavy punch echoed through the room along with Jerry's small body falling at the foot of the bed in a daze as Nan punched him in the face very hard, sparing no strength.
It almost made Jerry pass out on the floor, but that made him Jerry's eyes wandered for a moment.
Nan used his hand to grab Jerry's hair and pull hard plus another series of punches. The boy who was limp from drunkenness was thrown hard as well, Keith and Ohm jumped up and grabbed Nan.
Besides helping to get that hand out of Jerry's hair.
Jeffy and Danny ran to support Jerry, who was dazed and his mouth was torn open until it was covered in blood.
-Isn't it wonderful? Jeffy immediately asked.
-This is incomparable to what he did to Mac....He even required hospitalization......I'm not shooting your brother.... How good is it to kick him out?!
Nan shouted at him loudly. Afraid that he would rush Jerry again, Jonathan and Frank tried to get in the middle, keeping Jeffy and Danny on Jerry on the couch.
The young man, who seemed to regain consciousness, screamed.
- Huh, why did he hurt me? Jerry said in a shaky voice.
Jeffy took a handkerchief to clean the blood from his brother's mouth and found that one of Jerry's teeth had fallen out as well, causing Jerry to cry even harder and looked at him in horror.
- Is there another face to ask? What did you do with Mac? I gave him a chance to confess.
Nan pointed at Jerry. Jerry jumped in fear.
- Jerry, what's going on? Did you give Mac some garlic to eat? Really? Jeffy asked his brother.
Jerry fidgeted a little, turning to look at him for a moment with some suspicion.
- Don't even think about lying. Don't make me produce evidence against you, or you'll hurt yourself even more.
Jerry was shaking with fear, he didn't imagine it would be so cruel.
-Ugh...huh...I didn't expect him to lose so much...heh... I'm just angry that he made my brother fight with his friend and even get punched, plus he he left too...my brother is sad so i wanted to tease him a little. Huh, Jeff, I didn't mean to make a big fuss about it.
"Huh," Jerry said in a shaky voice.
-Jerry, I hit Ohm.... It's because I was already drunk. It didn't feel right..... You shouldn't even think too much about it.... Knowing his little brother, he came over to look at Mac.
- Your idea was very bad and you are a bastard, said Mac, feeling a little irritated.
But he didn't want anything to do with Jerry anymore, just seeing Jerry's face Mac amazed him.
-Shouldn't you think for yourself? What if Mac will lose a little more? Let's say Mac died. You must have been in jail for killing people, Ohm said somehow, as Jerry began to cry, with bruised face.
-When are you coming back to Bangkok? Get your clothes out of my house...You're not welcome anymore...I don't want to see any of your faces....That's all, Nan told Jeffy and Jerry, before turning to her other friends Mac's.
Mac was silent. They all understood this and didn't get angry and felt more guilty towards Mac and Nan for causing trouble.
-Jerry, you know I want to throw you to the ground. Exactly.....but I don't want Mac to be embarrassed. So be grateful to Mac for giving you the chance to return to your country alive, Nan said in a harsh voice.
The sound of the nurse's front door opening was heard.
-What happened? asked the nurse because there was a noise outside the room so they sent a nurse to come and see what happened.
- Nurse, please take this child to be examined, said Ohm.
The nurse saw that Jerry was shocked and immediately came to support him. Jeffy and Danny followed him to see as well.
- I am so tired. Catching that bastard is like catching a wild bull or rather "Ten together," Keith grumbled.
Nan ruffled her hair in excitement. He is frustrated. If Jerry was as big as Keith or Ohm, more punches and kicks would certainly have been needed, but Jerry only needed a few hits to pass out.
Or should I break one of his arms to make him remember? Nan muttered, good thing she was speaking in Thai, otherwise Frank and Jonathan would be shocked and the goosebumps would be there for sure.
-Damn it, don't even think about it. Are you releasing energy and not feeling better? Keith asked sagely.
Nan grumbled a little.
Should I find you a boxing camp? Keith asked back, taking a deep breath.
If he didn't take his anger to the extreme, maybe he would go to the gym and hit a sandbag to release all his energy and anger
- Let him smoke. Better than letting him break Jerry's arm, Ohm said and Mac nodded.
Before Ohm sat down and spoke. Asking Frank and Jonathan for their thoughts on what happened.
- Good that you taught him a lesson... At first I thought he was a child. That bastard should be dead to be hit like that, Keith said to Nan as they went out to smoke together.
- I want to beat him one more time. If you don't come and stop me first." He sighs and exhales cigarette smoke.
- Only once, choose the frog's mouth, His tooth fell out.
Keith patted his shoulder and let out a loud sigh.
-When it comes to Mac. It's easy for you to come here, Keith joked to freshen up the atmosphere a bit
-She is my wife, answered Nan.
-In the past, I could have hurt him a lot and then come back..... I can't fix anything, but now I can make everything right, I can protect and I won't let anyone do anything to him, Nun i she told Keith with an air of teasing and love and annoyance, that she loved Mac more than she would admit.
- Hey....Day is an idol? Keith was teasing him again.
-Well, if you assume Mac is Brick..... that kid was already thrown into the building by Hia, Nan replied, Keith chuckled lightly.
He smoked two cigarettes. The mood began to stabilize. Then he went back inside again. Mac looked at Nan with worried eyes, then walked over and sat on the edge of the bed. Mac immediately grabbed his lover's hand
-You've calmed down a bit, haven't you? Mac asked. Nan then nodded in agreement and reached up to stroke Mac's hair gently.
- Damn, you're taking Mac back tonight, right? Ohm asked, and Nan nodded in agreement.
-So you will leave him for one night and take him back tomorrow.... They want to talk to each other first about what to do next.
Ohm said
- Hmm, replied Nan nonchalantly.
"I'm sorry about Jerry and Jeffy," Frank said.
-Come on, you don't have to apologize. You didn't do anything wrong, Nan said.
- I didn't think you'd be so tough, Jonathan teased him, then smiled slightly.
Do you want to try to get on stage? He pretended to ask back because Jonathan also liked boxing.
-Refuse to hit Mr. Jonathan, raise your hand. Let's pretend to surrender.
Nan laughed softly, making Mac feel a little more comfortable. Boyfriend he can control his emotions. By the time Jeffy and Danny brought Jerry back his face was still swollen It looked like he had been checked out by the doctor, his mouth was so swollen...Mac felt that he looked like he was in really bad pain.
-Medical expenses. Come take it from me Nan said:
Jeff had a serious look on his face. But he didn't tell me anything.
- Come on, Jeffy nudged his brother.
Jerry looked at him with horrified eyes before looking at Mac.
-I'm sorry, I really didn't know you'd lose so much. If I had known, I probably wouldn't have made you eat garlic.
Jerry spoke to Mac in a low voice.
"No problem," Mac replied.
Because he just realized that he must be afraid
-I'll take you back to the resort to you can rest and talk about the trip again. If you still want to travel because Mac is coming back tonight, Ohm said, everyone agreed.
Before coming to say goodbye to Mac
-See you later.
Frank walked over and patted Mac on the shoulder, who nodded.
-Excuse me, said Jeffy in a low voice.
-Hm, answered Mac, clearing his throat. before Mac's friends left the room.
Jerry squeezed Jeffy's arm tightly until only Mac Nan and Keith remained in the room.
Mac sighed softly. When everything became clear.
Let's take a nap first, Keith said before collapsing on the couch.
Leaving Nan and Mac to sit and see look in the eyes
- Dad, does he know? Mac asked as he remembered. then shook his head
- I didn't tell him, answered Nan.
- Well, I don't want my dad to worry, because I'm fine, said Mac.
- Aren't you afraid of me? Nan asked, Mac raised an eyebrow slightly.
Afraid of what? Mac asked confused.
- When I beat that child, were you afraid? I think that reminded you of how I hurt you in the past? he asked back, making Mac look at his lover with wide eyes.
He didn't think I would think about it in the past
- I forgot all that, I don't have those images in my head anymore. Today I only see images of you protecting me, helping me, Mac said.
Nan sighed slightly, as if relieved
"Okay," Nan said with a soft smile.
It made Mac smile.
- Don't sing, Mac interrupted him suddenly. Make me laugh
- Hell, don't complain..... I can't think of a song, Nan replied.
-Shit, I'll kick you both, Keith yelled back and Nan and Mac laughed
