After Uea told everything about his relationship with Phai, both Uea and King were finally able to clear up their misunderstandings and their relationship became closer than before. King gently stroked Uea's hair while Uea rested his head on King's broad chest.
".... I feel that after being with you.. I become less and less independent," whispered Uea.
"Why do you say that, hum?" asked King.
".... since being with you I have become more dependent on you..." replied Uea.
"I would be happy if you depended more on me," said King.
"But... I'm getting scared... the more I depend on you... the more afraid I am of being separated from you," said Uea, expressing his worries. King laughed softly.
"I can't promise that I will always be with you... but I guarantee that as long as I am still breathing I... will always be by your side... whatever the circumstances... I will not leave you," said king. Uea's heart felt warm, his face and ears flushed with embarrassment. To cover it all, Uea buried his head in king's chest more.
"You... are really a playboy..." said Uea in a whisper.
"Huh?" said king, his voice not very audible.
"You're really good at winning someone's heart... you are a sweet talker to other too, right?" Uea said again, this time he frowned when he remembered King's actions in the past.
"Are you jealous?" asked king, chuckling. Uea turned his face away.
"I admit that I always change partners in the past... but only to you I became a sweet talker," replied King. Uea looked at king in disbelief. King could only chuckle seeing his lover's cute face. King then closed his eyes briefly.
"It's okay if you don't believe me ... I can understand. But now I am completely yours and you will definitely be able to see my sincerity slowly later," said King who again rubbed Uea's head. Uea was just starring because honestly he knew King was telling the truth but he wanted to tease his lover a little. After that, the two of them didn't speak any more and chose to hug each other to feel each other's warmth until midday. The atmosphere at that time was quite calm until King's phone rang. King actually didn't want to answer the phone because he still wanted to chat with his Boyfriend longer, but his phone ringing continuously made King become annoyed. King couldn't help but pick up the phone.
"What???... why are you bothering me, phai" said King who was annoyed, today King actually didn't want to go anywhere, he just wanted to laze around with his boyfriend until he was satisfied.
("Where are you now?") said Phai, ignoring the King's scolding.
"I'm still at home why? " King asked.
("Is Uea with you?") Phai asked, King only answered with his throat.
("...did Uncle Fiat come there?") asked Phai.
"Huh??... Uncle Fiat?... Since I've been here this morning I haven't seen Uncle Fiat," said King. Uea, who heard his Pha's name mentioned, immediately looked at King. King shook his head when Uea asked.
("tsk....") Phai chuckled.
"What's wrong phai?" asked the king.
("King... Uncle Fiat disappeared from the hospital") said Phai, King's eyes immediately widened when he heard that.
"Uncle Fiat disappeared from the hospital?" said King, repeating Phai's sentence. Uea's body immediately stiffened hearing King's words, but King tried to calm Uea by rubbing his back.
("Um... the others and I are still looking for him, I thought he went there... turns out he wasn't there, okay then... I'll go back looking for him, you look after Uea ...") said phai.
"I'll be right there... Im worried about him," said King.
("ok") replied Phai before hanging up the phone. King stared at Uea
"King" Uea called King slowly, King could feel Uea's voice trembling slightly.
"Uncle Fiat is missing, your father and the others are looking for him... I'm going to the hospital to help them... you just wait at home..." said King, actually King didn't want to leave Uea alone at home but when he heard Phai's voice It sounded a little noisy, King became worried.
"I'm coming too," said Uea.
"Are you sure? ... do you want to go to the hospital?" asked King.
"Yes... I want to go to the hospital," said Uea again. To be honest, Uea is still not ready to be reunited with his father and Pha, but he is also worried about his Pha's disappearing .
"Okay... let's change clothes first before going to the hospital," said King, Uea nodded.
.
When King and Uea arrived at the hospital, they saw Leo who was busy calling someone.
"Father ..." called Uea, Leo looked at Uea before finally hanging up the phone.
"Uea" said Leo who then hugged Uea.
"Father... Pha, how... what about Pha?" asked Uea, who was also worried about his father.
"Uncle... how did Uncle Fiat disappear?" asked King. Leo ruffled his hair in frustration before looking at Uea with a sad look.
"Actually, since the incident where Uea ran away, Fiat has been hoping for Uea to come back to meet him, but I know Uea's condition doesn't allow him to meet Fiat, so I understand if Uea doesn't want to visit Fiat and I'm trying my best to find an excuse so that Fiat doesn't feel like Uea hates him. But... " Leo's words were interrupted when Rain interrupted Leo's sentence.
"I'm sorry Phi Uea... this is all my fault," said Rain with puffy eyes.
"rain..." said Uea.
"Rain told Fiat the address where we live here and when he found out that in two days we would be returning to Thailand, Uncle Fiat immediately left when I and the others were careless," said Phayu, who was trying to calm his boyfriend, who was still crying.
"He knew that we wouldn't let him out, that's why he sneaked out when we were careless," said Leo.
"Phai and Sky?" asked King when he didn't see them.
"Phai is looking around the streets near here while Sky is looking around the hospital... even though Fiat has been here for a long time, he rarely comes out of the hospital so I'm afraid he's lost out there," said Leo.
"father" called Uea, Leo looked at Uea then hugged him.
"It's okay... I understand your feelings, you don't need to worry... we can definitely find a fiat," said Leo.
"I'll look outside." said King.
"I'm coming too," said Uea when he saw King rushing out. King was a little hesitant to bring Uea but seeing Uea's worried face made King couldn't help but bring Uea. King and Uea followed the road to their house from the hospital. Actually there were several roads to their house but they didn't know which path Fiat would take so they decided to look for Fiat in all the roads they thought Fiat would definitely take. However, even though they searched here and there, Fiat could not be found.
King finally decided to rest for a while.
"After this we will look for uncle Fiat over there," said King while drinking his drink.
"Uea" called King when he didn't hear Uea answer his words.
"UEA..." King called once again but Uea still didn't answer King's call.
"This is my fault..." said Uea.
"uea"
"This is all my fault... I should have visited Pha even though I was afraid to meet him... I should have stayed with Pha even though I didn't like him..." said Uea, his voice shaking.
"Uea... this is not your fault... did you hear what Uncle Leo said earlier? He understands your condition," said King.
"But if I force myself to keep meeting Pha.. Pha won't disappear like this.. Besides, our main goal here is to meet Pha.." Uea said this time his voice rose a little.
"Uea... I did invite you here to meet uncle fiat... but if you're not ready to meet uncle fiat... that's okay," said King.
"But King..." Before he could finish his sentence, suddenly they both heard a very loud bang. People there immediately ran towards the sound. King and Uea looked at each other before they also headed in the direction of the sound.
"Wow, the sound is really loud... it's crazy.. being drunk in the middle of the day like this is very dangerous," said one person in the crowd.
"The victim was Asian, right??" asked someone else.
"Yes... I saw him walking there and suddenly the car shot at him," said another person.
"Then how is he?" he asked again.
"I don't know.. I couldn't see clearly.. but I think he was seriously injured.. especially with that loud bang," he replied.
"What a pity for him... even though he seems to be looking for an address," he said again.
"Yes, earlier... he asked me for the address of xxxxx's house..." he said.
"Huh ... that's on XXX street, right... across there."
"Yes... he said he wanted to meet his child."
"That's so poor of him"
Those words made Uea's face even paler, he knew that the Asian they meant was his pha. Uea immediately ran through the crowd. Uea tried with all his might to break through the crowd and when he arrived at the scene, his tears couldn't stop flowing. There he saw Fiat being helped by several people.
"pha..." called Uea. Fiat, who heard his name called, immediately glanced at Uea. When he saw Uea, Fiat he immediately smiled.
"ah.. Uea" called Fiat.
"Thank you... once again... I thank you... thanks to you my baby is safe," said a woman who had been thanking Fiat many times.
"It's okay... Gladly i can take your baby in time... so that the car doesn't hit your baby," said Fiat with a smile. Several people gathered around the car which hit an electricity pole and bent it. There were also those who called ambulances and the police. The young mother continued to thank Fiat before finally Fiat approached the Uea.
"UEA.." Call Fiat but Uea doesn't answer. Fiat saw Uea's face which was wet with tears... his face was very pale and Fiat then remembered what happened before. Fiat immediately embraced Uea very tightly.
"UEA... I'm fine... Pha is fine... I'm fine Uea... you don't need to worry Uea," said Fiat.
"pha is here... pha is fine... you don't need to worry," said Fiat again. Uea, who felt Pha's warmth, immediately returned Fiat's hug and cried again.
"pha... pha... pha..." shouted Uea. Fiat can only hug Uea tightly. Uea can't stop crying.
"Yes.. Pha is here.. Pha is fine," said Fiat.
.
King, Fiat and Uea finally arrived at their house after several hours at the police station to become witnesses about the incident. King immediately called Leo and the others. Uea bit hia lower lip when he heard Fiat wince in pain, Fiat who saw it only smiled.
"I'm fine," said Fiat.
"pha.. but.." said Uea.
"I'm okay.. this is just a small wound..." said Fiat, Uea still felt worried seeing the injuries.
"I'm sorry... I scared you," said Fiat, Uea fell silent.
"You must have remembered your past when you saw the accident... I'm sorry," said Fiat, Uea shook his head slowly.
"No Pha... I was wrong... I'm sorry... because I didn't visit Pha... Pha almost got hit," said Uea.
"No.. this is not your fault.. this is all my fault.. I know.. I was the one who scared you, all the things I did to you in the past left such a trauma on your mind that it hurt you... pha is really sorry... pha knows pha has to waiting for you until you are really ready to meet pha.. but pha doesn't know when you will meet pha again.. so pha decided to go see you for a while before you return to Thailand, but I don't know if there will be an incident like that.. which makes you remember your bad memories... I'm sorry..." said Fiat. Uea shook his head again.
Uea immediately hugged Fiat very tightly. His relationship with his pha is not good, but that doesn't mean he doesn't love Fiat. Basically, their family is a harmonious family, but only because of Pha's mental illness, the previously harmonious family became a mess. Uea knows very well his pha disease and what his pha did was solely because his pha was afraid of losing his pha. Uea really wanted to be free from his pha but he never wanted his pha to die and this incident really made him very scared. He didn't want anything to happen to his pha. Fiat could only return Uea's hug while stroking Uea's back, he knew words wouldn't be able to calm Uea so Fiat chose to let Uea release all his emotions first. King could only smile at the sight and decided to make room for fiat and Uea.
.
Leo finally picked up fiat to go back to the hospital.
"Sorry for making you all worry," said Fiat, he realized that his action of running away from the hospital made everyone panic.
"Please don't do that again uncle... you made my heart almost fall out," said Phayu.
"Yes... I'm sorry," said Fiat.
"Come on... let's go back Fiat," said Leo while embracing his wife, Fiat nodded.
"Pha.." Uea called softly, Fiat turned around.
"I... I will visit Pha tomorrow," said Uea. Fiat was very happy to hear that and smiled happily.
"Yes... I will wait for you Uea," said Fiat.
Finally, Uea and the others spent their holiday in the hospital, although their relationship still couldn't return to normal, but at least... His relationship and his parents had started to improve little by little.
"King..." called Uea.
"Um," answered King, when he finished storing his bag in the cabin.
"What's wrong?" continued King, who was now sitting next to Uea. Uea immediately leaned on King's shoulder.
"Thank you," said Uea. King frowned.
"For what?" asked King
"Thank you for bringing me here," said Uea. King linked his and Uea's hands.
"I told you... I will accompany you wherever you go... I will be by your side whatever happens," replied King, Uea could only smile. His heart was full of happiness. Uea never thought that this day would come, the day he could be with the person he loved and repair his relationship with his parents. Uea is very grateful and Uea wants to live like this forever.
