Wait a minute, I think I'd better get Night to shore first. It's windy, he might get sick, Gear said.
- But I still want to play here, Night protested immediately.
"Rest, then we can continue driving," Gear said again. Night frowned slightly.
-If you get sick tonight from swimming. Don't complain, Night, Gear said sternly. Night's cheeks swelled as soon as he heard that.
-Okay, I'll take a break, agreed Night, but reluctantly. Gear smiled slightly, pleased that the small figure was speaking to him like that.
-What will you two do? Gear asked his friend and his brother. I still want to play, so go away guys, we'll stay a little longer.
Gus immediately turned to Four before Four told him to rest.
"Okay, let's play Gus for a while," Four said.
-Hmm, we'll go then, Gear said, before starting the engine and taking Night back to shore.
-Are you going to continue driving? Four asked Gus, looking out to sea.
-Um... Four... Do you think there are sharks around here? Gus asked.
Four looked at Gus puzzled.
-Why? Four asked.
- Well, I want to know. "I only remember the show Exploring the World," Gus said quietly.
-You're terrified, right? Four asked, Gus nodded.
-There must be sharks in the sea, in the Gulf of Thailand, our home. The ones you see a lot are tiger sharks, whale sharks, and black tip sharks as far as I can remember,” Four said seriously.
-And did they bite people? Gus asked curios.
-Sharks... You rarely hear about black tip sharks or whale sharks harming humans. But the tiger shark is quite ferocious, it is territorial, if someone disturbs its place, they will probably be bitten, explains Four again.
Gus turned his attention to Four.
-Four... Do you think I'm in this place? Gus asked, looking fearfully out to sea.
-Do you want to know? Four asked, a slight smile on his lips. Gus nodded gravely.
- Then I'll show you, said Four Gus looked at him puzzled.
-How? Gus asked, but before Four could say anything. The tall figure immediately fell into the sea.
¡Bum!
-Four bastard!! what the hell did you do why did you go there Gus shouted in shock.
-Uh...I'm willing to find out for you if there's a tiger shark around here, Four said with a smile as he swam by the jet ski while Gus sat alone.
-You're crazy!! Come on, if there really is one, what will you do? Gus shouted, his heart trembling and worried for Four. His hand gripped the handlebars of the jet ski tightly.
-Let's see if there are any sharks in this area, said Four again, diving around the area.
-Not! Go back, I don't want to know, I'll go back to the shore get out! Gus shouted over and over, feeling scared.
Suddenly, Four never returned to Gus, who began to riot on the jet ski. Four's body suddenly disappeared into the sea. Gus looked surprised. After that, Four came out of the water with a strange expression.
-Gus...Gus...Hugh...help me...there's actually a shark...Four jumped up and down, calling out to Gus. The little one was amazed to hear this.
Four bastards!! Can you swim here?... Quick... Four...!! cried the little boy in extreme fear and shock, until something terrible happened Gus was unaware of the danger his lover was in before him, until something happened.
-Gus...Four called out with the last of his voice, before sinking into Gus's eyes.
-Hurry up...you bastard!! Pass now.....huh....Four! Are you kidding me? Four... hugh... huh, the small figure immediately cried. Scared that he didn't see Four come out of the water everything around was silent.
-Four!! Eh… don't play like that… eh… sobbed the small figure, looking around for his lover's body with tears streaming down his face.
-Hahaha Idiot...hahaha Four...Four came out of the sea and appeared next to the jet ski, where Gus was shaking.
-Gus...I just...Four was stunned when he saw Gus' pale expression; of also crying.
-Huh...huh...huh...huh...huh...huh...the little boy shouted loudly, he was in a panic, Four immediately got on the jet ski.
-Gus, don't cry, I joked. Do not be stupid. Look, you should know I'm kidding. It's not even a little blood, Four said.
-Eh...ah!! I'm stupid...Huh said the little figure without stopping crying.
Four pulled Gus into a hug. The small figure curled into Four's chest and cried.
"I'm sorry, I'll take you back to shore," Four said in a low, hurried voice.
He knew it was wrong to tease the little boy like that, but he didn't expect Gus to be so demoralized.
Four had to drive the jet ski back to shore with Gus holding him the whole way. Gus is still crying when they reach shore. Gear and Night immediately ran towards them because something was wrong.
-Gus, what are you doing Four? Gear asked quickly. Night went to help Gus off the jet ski. Four flips her wet hair over her head.
-I was just kidding, Four said quietly as he looked at the small figure hugging Night and crying non-stop.
-Hey, why are you joking like that?!! You don't know I'm scared... here... and how worried I've been... uh... Night, I want to go home now... huh he told her.
Gus called out to Four crying then turned to tell his friend. Night glared at Four for making his friend cry like that.
-Okay, I think you better take Gus back, Night, let's go back to Uncle Kua first. I'm going to buy something to drink and eat at home. What do you want to eat? Gear asked.
-Whatever you want just hurry up, Night said before leading Gus back to the boat.
-You, come and tell me what the hell you're thinking? Why is Gus crying like that? Gear asked in a deep voice, before going off to buy things to take home with Four, asking her to tell him the story that upsets Gus so much, Gear was listening intently.
Once the purchases were made, both Four and Gear returned to the boat. Four found that Gus had stopped crying.
-Gus, I bought you some snacks that you like, Four said to the small figure, coming over to sit next to him. But Gus immediately sat down next to Night without speaking to Four.
--Night, wait a minute, Gus said to his friend in a low voice. Four looked at Gus before looking at Gear.
-Wait, let's go back home, he whispered to his friend before telling Uncle Kua to drive the boat home to rest.
On the way, Gus didn't even look at Four. The tall figure felt a little angry that Gus was ignoring him, but he also felt guilty for making fun of the small figure.
Back in the house, everyone scattered to shower and change immediately.
-Gus, do you want to stay outside? Night asked as they both finished showering and changing clothes.
-I want to sleep. Is Gear taking us to the show tonight? Gus asked softly.
- He will take us, said Night. Gus nodded.
-If I didn't wake up. Come and wake me up, said Gus.
Night walked up to his friend with a hand to place on his forehead.
-Are you ok? Night asked his best friend with concern
or.
-Gus' face darkened slightly as he shook his head from side to side before hugging Night again.
-Night, I'm really scared, Gus said softly.
Night stood up and hugged his best friend comfortably.
Because Gus had already told him the story about how Four scared him and Night understood Gus's feelings in that one moment.
-Hmm, I understand. If it were me, I'd be scared and mad at him just like you are, Night said to his friend.
-At that moment, I suddenly thought that I couldn't live without him... I didn't think I could love him so much. That's it, Night, Gus said in a shaky voice.
Night stroked his best friend's back to comfort him.
- Well, it's just a joke. I didn't think you'd be so demoralized. Go to bed first. If anything happens I'm waking you up Night told his friend because he wants Gus to rest first.
He doesn't want Gus to think too much right now. Gus pulled out of Night's embrace.
-Then I'm going to sleep, said Gus Night and went to bed. Night grabbed a blanket to cover him before leaving the bedroom.
-Night and Gus? Four was sitting on the balcony with Gear, he immediately asked when he saw Night walk out.
-You feel like drinking alcohol again, it's not night yet, Gear said Night as he saw his boyfriend and Four drinking on the balcony of the room.
--It's just a beer, don't be upset, Gear said. Night frowned.
- So? Why didn't it come out? Four asked again.
-You dare to ask, do you know how angry my friend is? Luckily he's not in shock, Night told Four.
-How did I know it would be so shocking? Anyone else would have known I was joking, Four said.
"Hmm, you still don't regret it," said Night turning around.
- Come on, Four didn't think Gus would react like that. Come stay with me, come Night, Gear said, stopping the two of them from arguing.
-Are you more on his side than your brother, Gear? Night told his boyfriend but he agreed to stay by his side.
-I didn't take anyone's side Don't come and argue with me Night, okay? Is Gus in the room? Gear asked.
-Oh, I think he is tired and terrified, like he has no strength. So sleep in my room, Night said helplessly the Four immediately got up.
-Hey, where are you going, Night? Gear said as Night tried to follow Four as he headed to his own room but was pulled by Gear to sit next to him.
-Let Four clear things up with Gus. He knows he was wrong. Gear said making Night stand still, not get up and stop following Four.
Four's tall figure stopped in front of Night and Gus' bedroom before opening the door.
Little Gus was lying with his back to the door. Four then closed the door slowly and walked over to the small figure on the bed. The large bed rocked as the tall figure sat down.
-Night. You weren't going to stay with Gear? Gus asked softly, letting Four know that the small figure hadn't fallen asleep yet.
Gus slowly turned around when he saw that his friend hadn't answered, but had to stop when he saw Four standing next to him. Gus turned immediately, nonchalantly
-What happens? Four asked softly. Gus chose to remain silent.
Four reached out and turned Gus to face the girl, then tilted his face to look at the small figure. Gus looked back at the bed, not wanting to look at Four right now.
- Are you that mad, Gus? Four asked softly, but Gus remained silent.
-I'm sorry, I didn't know he would be so scared, said Four guiltily.
-If I made fun of you like that, would you be mad at me? If I tried to take my life as a joke, how would you feel, Four? Gus asked softly.
Four paused before letting out a sigh of relief.
-I understand what you want to say. If it were me, I'd be pissed. It was my fault for not thinking of it first. Don't be mad at me, Four said.
He had never thought he would deal with someone like this before.
All the time, there are people who follow him, who come and go but this time Four had to come to terms with the little boy in front of him. Four's long fingers ran lightly through Gus's hair.
-Are you afraid that I will die? Four asked.
Gus immediately looked up at the tall figure as hands caressed his body.
--Do you dare to ask? I should have been happy to see you die. What about you, if I die will you be sad or happy? That's a stupid question, the small figure cursed Four endlessly, his voice shaking.
Four didn't get upset because he understood Gus' feelings.
"You're a bad person," Gus said before turning to hug Four, burying his face in his strong chest. Four hugged the small figure.
-I know, you don't have to say that, Four said with a smile.
That was enough to know that Gus was starting to lose his temper with him.
-Oh, Gus, it hurts! Four shouted as the small figure bit down on his chest with all his might, but soon released his mouth.
"But… it hurts more than it hurts you," Gus said softly, making Four freeze, slowly pushing the small figure off his own chest so he could see Gus's face clearly.
-What hurts? Four asked.
-Do you think if I see you hurt, I can stay calm and not feel anything, Four? Gus said.
Four smiled before reaching up to caress Gus's glowing cheek.
-You are so cute, do you know Gus? While talking like that, you're too cute, Four said with a smile.
- I'm beautiful, argued Gus calmly.
-You keep arguing, if you're not pretty, how can those girls see you as a tomboy? That means you have a resemblance to the feminine, Four said with a smile. Gus frowned slightly.
-You made a mistake and you still dare to talk to me like that? Gus said softly until Four had to hug him again, smiling.
Four's tall figure was now leaning against the head of the bed and he let Gus lie down and tell him himself.
-I'm sorry, from now on I won't joke with you anymore. Are you satisfied? the tall figure said in a serious tone. Gus nodded slowly.
-Four, Gus shouted to the tall figure hugging him.
-Hmm, Four replied as he gently stroked the small figure's head.
-What do you think? Why do you like me even though I'm a man? Gus asked a question that had been with him for a long time.
-Who said I liked you? Four asked. Gus immediately looked up. Four smiled slightly.
-I don't like you, I love you. Listen to the end before you get mad, Four joked.
Gus wrinkled his nose at the tall figure. Gus admitted that he was surprised at first when he heard Four say that he didn't like it, but when he heard the next sentence, his heart swelled again.
- I don't even know why I love you. Even though I am a man and there are many women lining up to choose, no one has ever made me feel as good or as loved as you Four said.
--If in the future you find someone more attractive and more suitable than me? Gus asked again.
-What if it was about you? If you meet the right person and you like him more than me, are you going to leave me? Four asked, lifting his chin for Gus to look at him.
"I can't find anyone as bad as you, so I'm not leaving," Gus said smiling.
-Should I be happy or sad? Four said with a throaty laugh.
-Four, what about your house? If they know about it, will they accept it? Gus asked again.
-Why wouldn't he accept? Everyone in my house likes you, you know that? Four said, because in the past Four's family loved him very much.
Although Four and Gus had a falling out at one point, Gus was always in contact and talking with the people in Four's house.
"It's true, but they love me like a son, like your brothers," Gus said again.
"Besides, you're the youngest in the house, they'll want you to meet a good woman, not a guy like me," Gus said slowly, thinking about what he was saying.
-Oh, what are you thinking? Anything related to the family legacy, be the duty of P'Wan, P'Tu, P'Teh," Four said seeing his lover start to think about it.
-Actually... speaking of your brothers. How's P'Wan doing? Haven't seen him in a while, Gus asked as he was quite close to Four's older brother. Because Wan is the only person who knows what Gus thinks about Four..
-Gus, do you see P'Wan often? Four asked in a calm tone.
-Hmm... Before, P'Wan often took me to eat and to the movies. So, I went and told P'Wan about you, he always likes to keep me up to date with bad news about you, Gus said before looking up. The face of the lover who stands confused gritting his teeth
-What's going on Four? asked Gus.
-From now on. I forbid you! I won't let you see P'Wan without me being with you. Don't go off alone with him without me knowing! Four ordered in a stern voice.
"Why… P'Wan is so cute," Gus replied.
-He's pretty damn cute... You don't even know that, do you Gus? Four asked his lover in a calm voice.
- What should I know? What are you talking about? I'm confused, Gus yelled at him, very nonchalantly. Four got angry but said nothing.
-Wait a minute, earlier, you also fought brother P'Wan. What happened? I was going to ask you a long time ago, Gus asked thoughtfully.
-You don't need to know, Four answered.
-I do not wanna know. Tell me now, Four, Gus said to the tall figure in a fierce voice.
-Nothing really. I just don't want you to know, Four said again, Gus looking at him sadly.
-OMG. you can't tell me Leave it, I'll go ask P'Wan myself, Gus said.
Four looked at Gus hard.
"I told you not to see P'Wan again," Four said in a stern voice.
-Tell me the reason first! Gus replied.
"No, you have to know, Gus," growled Four.
Gus stood up, crossed his arms and looked at Four with a stern face. Although he didn't seem to care, Gus still stood up and looked at Four without saying a word.
-Why would you want to know? Can't your boyfriend ask you this? Four spoke to change the subject.
-But, P'Wan is also my friend, argued Gus again. Four shook his head at the small figure who still hadn't given up.
-Who do you choose between your boyfriend and your friend? Four asked, interrupting immediately scenario.
