Gus was surprised to hear Wan laugh.
-Why are you laughing? Gus asked curiously.
-I won't say... Hmm... Shall I take you to school tomorrow? Wan asked. Gus nodded. In his heart he wondered why Wan was laughing.
- Then, I'll tell you tomorrow... Do you sleep here? I'm coming to pick you up in the morning to take you to the university. I'll tell you right then, Wan said with a smile.
Gus hesitated a bit because he had promised Four that they wouldn't go anywhere alone, but his curiosity is greater.
-Okay, if P'Wan comes tomorrow, you can call me, I'll go to the parking lot, Gus said.
-Yes sir, Wan replied, before a loud noise was heard from Four's room.
After a while, the door to Four's recovery room opened as Tree's thin figure stepped out with a sullen expression.
-Ah... P'Wan, how long have you been here? Tree asked her older brother.
-A little while ago. I'm about to come back, but what's wrong with you two? And why is Four making such a fuss? Wan asked his sister.
-Well, he won't let Tree take care of him. I don't know what the hell happened, he just said he didn't want anyone to take care of him, Tree said smiling but hearing her. Gus's face looks worried.
-Okay, then leave him alone and come see him tomorrow. I can come back to you right now, Wan told his younger sister.
-Good. Nong Gus, I'll leave your dog
that fool don't worry he bites he's just been injected with anger, Tree told him reluctantly, to take care of his nervous brother.
-Uh...yeah, Gus answered.
-Nong, I'll go first and call you tomorrow, Wan said to Gus before walking to the elevator with Tree.
Gus hesitated between his brother's room and his boyfriend's room before opening the door to his boyfriend's room to go in and take out some bags after talking to his brother.
The sound of the door swung open causing Four to look up before leaving as he saw his lover walk in with a small bag.
Gus put the bag in the hospital locker that is reserved for the families of the wounded. So he could put things away and turn to look at Four who was watching the TV with a frown.
-Why did you have to bully P'Tree? Gus said softly, standing next to the bed where Four lay.
-Why are you worried? I don't know, Gus said again.
-Why are you coming to take care of me? I can be alone, Four said.
- Well, I want to see my boyfriend, right? Gus asked, the small figure not wanting to argue with Four about things like this.
His brother is already in enough trouble and Gus doesn't want to cause more trouble for him or his boyfriend like another couple is doing.
- Do you want to eat some oranges? I'll peel them for you, Gus asked plaintively, not waiting for an answer.
Gus managed to peel the oranges and shove the pulp into his lover's mouth to feed him, but Four remained silent.
"You say you can be alone," Gus said softly with his eyes always on his lover.
-But, I can't be without you, Gus continues.
This made Four immediately turn to look at Gus. The two looked into each other's eyes. Then Four breathed a sigh of relief.
-Get up, come here, said Four.
Gus immediately came to his lover's bedside. Four hugged Gus lightly, loosely because he was still in pain, before kissing Gus lightly on the lips and walking away.
-I'm sorry I behaved badly, said Four calmly.
-Okay, but from now on, don't push me away. I'm sorry, you know? And don't say you'll be alone because you already have me. how can you be alone Gus said.
"Yeah, I'm sorry," Four said, rubbing Gus's head over and over.
-Four, stop petting me... I'm busy, said Gus.
-Well, I want to erase the marks my older brother rubbed, Four said again. Gus laughed when he heard that.
-Why are you so stubborn? Gus asked.
-It's easy when I'm alone with you, but I said that if you don't come to me tonight... Four spoke insensibly.
-Why do not you tell me? Gus asked curious about what Four said, what was he going to say next?
-No, I'll wait for things to calm down, then we'll go together, Four said with a smile. Gus laughed when he heard that.
"You know, I'd rather not be confused," Gus said.
-Huh, I don't want us two to be angry for long. Because Gear is willing to pave the way for you and me to be together comfortably. So I don't want to waste my time arguing for too long.
Four said. Gus also thought about Four. He thought how lucky he had been not to have faced the same huge obstacles as his older brother's partner.
"That's right, we're both lucky to be so in love," Gus said.
-So can you feed me oranges now? If you keep sitting like this, I won't eat, Four said, making Gus laugh before walking over to the bed to feed his lover.
Next morning...
"Thank you, P'Wan, for picking me up from the hospital," Gus said with a smile, after I picked him up from the hospital that morning.
It took some time for Gus to convince Four that he could take a taxi to study. Gus doesn't want Four to know he's going with Wan because he'll get mad again.
When Wan's car arrived, Wan told Gus everything on his mind. And now Wan parked the car in front of Gus's university.
-It's not Alright. I'll leave my brother to you anyway, but if he does something wrong, you can tell me and I'll take care of it, Wan said.
Gus smiled slightly, because Wan didn't think of Gus as more than a brother, but Wan wanted to trick Four because he wanted to encourage him to make a more decisive decision about Gus, because then when the two still did not understand each other.
Well, Wan knew what Four was thinking... And before his brother's negative resistance to making it clear what he thought of Gus. Wan had to cheer him up until Four realized that Wan was secretly in love with Gus.
-Yes, P'Wan, I'm going to study, I'm going to college, Gus said before raising his hand to salute Wan and getting out of the car.
The little boy entered the university smiling, but he couldn't help but think about his other friend. But when he went to the common table of his group, he saw Nott, sitting alone.
-Nott, Kyu, May and Night? Gus asked as he walked over to the table.
-Man, Kyu and May didn't come to school. As for Night... Gus, P'Day is going to make Night retire.
He said Ilyva was taking Night. They'd go back home to the province, he'd stop studying for a year and then come back to enroll in a new college in his neighborhood, Nott told Gus.
This caused the small figure to be surprised when he heard it.
-So... how's Night doing? Gus asked again, curious.
-He keeps crying... P'Fuu also told him that he will lose 1 year, but P'Day didn't care, he said when and where doesn't matter, Nott added.
-Then I have to call my brother first. He will have to find one way of persuading P'Day, Gus said, before immediately calling himself brother.
Gus talked to his brother for a while and hung up.
--How did he take it? Nott asked curiously.
-He didn't say anything. He said I didn't have to worry about anything, Gus replied.
-So how is Kyu doing? Gus asked again.
-I do not know. Ask him anything and he won't tell you what the problem is, Nott said in a stressed tone.
After finishing the class, Gus immediately went back to the hospital because he had to take care of his brother and Four.
Gus knocked on Four's bedroom door and opened it. But he couldn't find his loved one lying in the recovery room.
The little one frowned slightly before walking out and opening his brother's room. Opening it, he saw Four sitting in a chair at the foot of Gear's bed, a calm expression on his face.
-What are you doing here? Why aren't you going to bed?” Gus shouted before reaching Four's body, but when he reached it, the figure stopped when he saw two people sitting on the couch.
-Parents!! Since when have you been back? When I called my dad, he said he didn't know when he would be back, Gus asked his parents, who were still looking at him, and immediately went to sit next to his mom.
- We returned in the afternoon. What's wrong? Why are you stubborn? little figures mother asked.
Gus looked at his father and saw that his face was stressed. Gus felt sick and began to think. What were the four people talking about before ?
"He's a bit stubborn," Gus said softly, turning to look at his father and his lover.
-Mom, what about my father? Gus whispered to his mother, for since Gus came, his father had not said a word to the figure.
-He's giving your brother and Four a lecture, his mother whispers back, making Gus understand why Four was so oblivious.
- The truth should have been harsher. Throw away the rice porridge immediately, the better, said the father's voice in a cold tone.
This made Gus feel that they were referring to the attack they had both received. But why would Gus's father want them hit harder?
-No, don't you think he's a boy with a mother and a father? continued the father.
Gus started to panic in his heart because they must be talking about Night. But he doesn't know what to say.
"This is you two, Dad," Gear said.
-You're going to fight again, are you aware of that? his father said sternly making Gus flinch, he quickly moved to sit closer to his mother as Gus wasn't used to it when his father spoke loudly.
-You like to find things to wear all the time. At first I didn't want to say anything because I saw that at least he was a prince who wasn't as arrogant as you. But where can she... find a husband. Are you coming to the house? said the father again.
Gus
The small figure blushed and was surprised that his father had said such a thing. Four turned to Gus with a smile.
-Yes... what did you say? Gus asked.
-So what your father said is true? Are you going to deny or accept this? Are you dating Four? the father asked straight to the point.
Gus immediately hesitated, because he doesn't know if his father will be angry or accept him.
-Answer your father Gus, Gear urges him.
Gus glanced briefly at his lover's face before slowly nodding. Because Gear had already told his parents Night's story, so having Gus confess along the way was best.
"Yeah, I'm meeting him," Gus said quietly.
Four smiled slightly, glad that Gus had agreed to tell his parents that he was dating him. Gus's father he turned to look at Four.
-You, it's no big deal, Four. Don't forget to bring your parents to talk to your father too. And stop being loud or I won't give you Gus, said the little figure's father.
Gus turned to look at his wide-eyed father again.
-What did dad just say?! Gus asked suddenly.
- Well, you heard. Why do you ask? But if you want to know the details, go ask Four, Dad told him he can go back to bed. I will talk to my eldest son again. Gus can accept.
--Four go to your room, said the father in a serious tone. Gus was stunned.
Four slowly stood up and raised his hands to pay homage to the little figure's parents.
- Come on. Dad told you to take me to the room, didn't you hear him? Four said to his lover with a smile.
Gus also stood up confused. He led Four to his room. Gear turned to talk to his parents.
The doorbell rang, causing Day, who had been sitting in the living room watching a movie, to stand up and look at the front of the house.
Someone had arrived at this time so early, as soon as he walked out the door, he saw a middle-aged man, decently dressed, standing in front of the door.
-Who are you looking for? Day asked.
-Your name is Day, right? the man asked.
-Yes, what do you have to do with me? he asked again. Where do you know me from?
-Can I have a second, please, the man said again.
-We are the parents of Gear and Gus, Day he was a little quiet on hearing this, before his expression to become calm and cool again,usual.
-Why did you come? And what do you want to talk to me? Day asked.
Even though he spoke politely, Day's expression and eyes did not indicate that he was at all caring towards both of them.
- No, we just wanted to come and talk to you a bit. Would you mind letting two old men come here and talk, Gear's father said again.
Day breathed a sigh of relief before opening the door for the two to enter the house and lead them to sit down.
-Are you two brothers? Gear's mother asked in a kind tone.
-Yes, answered Day.
-Where is Nong Night? the mother asked again.
- I think it's better if we talk about what concerns us, so we don't waste time.
Day didn't answer Gear's mother's question
-First of all, how do I know that you two are actually his parents? Day asked.
-I think you can see if we are the parents of the two or not, Gear's father said in a serious tone. Day looked at them both but believed them.
-Then why did you come here? Day asked again.
-We both came to discuss what my son did to your younger brother, Gear's father began to speak. Day just smiled.
-Huh, did he dare to confess to you what he did? Day said sarcastically.
-Yes...he confessed everything, the bet, the clip, the story of how my bad son cheated on your brother half a year ago, Day listened to what Gear's father had to say because he didn't think someone like Gear would.
"Actually, I want you to kick him harder so he can think before he does anything," Gear's father said again.
Day looked at the two in disbelief.
-But that should be enough, right? Since you already punished Gear, why didn't you stop? Gear's father said again.
-What are you two talking about? Day asked.
-Day....Gear, he told his parents that you really love Nong Night. Now he regrets what he did before. We want to ask Day for another chance...Give Gear a chance, let him prove and take care of Nong Night. And Mom and Dad will serve as sureties for Gear, Gear's mom said softly.
-And for you two to come beg me, isn't it easy? Day asked, letting Gear's father know that Day was a very stubborn person.
-Yes, it is not easy for Day to forgive Gear. But can you give him another chance?” Gear's mother continued.
-So can you two accept that your son likes a boy? Day asked again.
- We accept. If we didn't accept it, we probably wouldn't be here talking to you. I know you just want him to meet good people because it's just the two of you. As a brother, I can understand. You have high hopes for him, you want him to be happy. I ask you, is your brother happy now? Day was silent.
-Yeah, he's happy, Day replied before Gear's parents looked at him.
Day turned, as the tall figure immediately returned.
-Oh, sorry... I'm just going to get some water, came Night's hoarse voice, when he came down from the top floor, he discovered that his brother had guests.
-Nong Night, right? Gear's mother asked, this surprised the young man as he had never seen his brother's guests.
"Get some water and go upstairs to your room," Day said softly.
Then Night immediately disappeared into the kitchen.
-Is that what you were referring to when you said he was happy? He cries until his eyes swell. Is that what you call happiness?” asked Gear's father.
-Day, he looks sick. Can you let me see your little brother? Gear's mother said.
-I think you two should go home. I can take care of my little brother, and if possible, please stop coming here, Day said, dismissing the two.
Gear's parents turned to look at each other lightly.
-I want the relationship between your son and my younger brother to end, Day said again.
Noise!!
But as soon as Gear's parents got up there was a noise from the kitchen.
-Night!
Day rushed over to check with Gear's parents, he found Night's small body slumped on the floor from a chair.
Day immediately picked up his little brother and scooped him up in his arms before feeling the heat on his brother, Night's breath was hot.
Day quickly led Night to his car. Gear's father hurriedly opened the car door as Day was holding Night.
- I told you to leave! Day said sternly.
-Don't argue now, right? Your brother is sick, hurry up and take him to the hospital. It's too hot, you have to take care of your little brother, Gear's father said loudly.
-Yes, sir, that's enough. Do not argue with him, Gear's mother told him her husband.
Day glanced at Gear's mother before placing Night in the back seat and hurried to open the gate to the house.
Gear's parents also left in their own car. Day took Night to a nearby hospital, followed by Gear's parents' car.
Now, Day wants to do nothing more than put his baby brother in the hands of a doctor. When they got to the hospital, Day rushed Night to lay him on the bed the nurse had brought him.
She later went to report her symptoms to staff. Day turned to look at Gear's parents but didn't say anything until after a while the nurse came out to report on Night's condition.
-Your brother has a very high fever. It's good not to be shocked. He probably passed out because he was exhausted and hadn't eaten anything, only drank water. When the patient recovered, he said that his stomach hurts, so he is diagnosed with gastritis. The nurse said.
- Will he have to stay in the hospital? Day asked.
- He will have to stay for a few days, said the nurse.
Day then went to ask for a special room for his brother. Now that Night was sent to sleep in a special room, the little figurine fell asleep again from the medicine given by the doctor.
-Day, don't you have to go back and get some clothes? You can go back and get them first.
Mom and Dad will take care of your little brother, Gear's mom said.
-I don't want to bother you, I can call my friend and take care of him for you. You should go back he said Give slowly.
His eyes fell on the pale figure of his brother on the patient's bed.
-You, I think we should go back first, Gear's father said to his wife because they didn't want to disturb too much.
-Okay, okay, then let's go back first. Day, we'll be back, but I'll come visit him, I hope Day won't stop us from seeing him, Gear's mom said.
"Okay," Day said softly, before Gear's parents walked out of Night's recovery room.
When they both left, Day called Fuu to tell him about Night. When Fuu arrived, Day went back to bring the necessary things from home to come take care of his brother in the hospital.
