"So, what is my personal chef cooking?" Tum said hugging Tar who was cooking in the kitchen
"It's a surprise P?, go in the other room and wait there, the dinner is almost ready" Tar replied smiling at his brother and kissing his forehead
"Ok, I'll wait" Tum left the kitchen so Tar could finish without other interruptions. As he finished he took the plate and reached the dining room, Tum was waiting with his eyes closed. Tar placed the plate in front of him
"You can open your eyes now" Tum's eyes widened
"What is it Tar?"
"Coq au vin, it's a dish of chicken braised with wine, it is one of the first dishes I learnt there and as I prepared it for the first time I immediately thought that I wanted to cook it for you, P' Tum, I hope you like it" Tum started eating and after the first bite he looked at his brother
"Don't you like it P'" the expression on Tum's face turned from disappointed to happy
"It's delicious! I just wanted to tease you" Tum replied laughing, as he heard that Tar smiled at him and started eating too.
"Glad that you liked it"
"Tar... will you leave soon?"
"Leave?... I wanted to remain with you until the end of the summer break... but if you don't want to..." Tar replied looking at his plate
"No no! I just asked because I have a... surprise for you and I hope you'll like it"
"What is it P'? Please tell me!" Tar said excited
"Ok ok... I booked a room for us in a resort in the south of te country... are you happy?" Tar stood up from his seat and ran to reach his brother, he hugged him excited and said
"Oh my God this is awesome!" when he stopped hugging him he came back to his seat and looked at the ground worried
"But... don't you think that you'll waste the opportunity to spend your holidays with... someone more important than me?"
"More important than you Tar? Who are you talking about?"
"I don't know... don't you have a...girlfriend?" Tum sighed, seriously didn't he notice that ?
"Tar... I have to... tell you...that..."
"What's wrong P'? Are you alright?"
"I'm... I'm gay Tar..." Tar started laughing
"Why are you laughing... I thought you were going to support me..."
"Was this the issue that was driving you crazy?"
"no but..."
"P' Tum, I'm gay too and you know it so what's the big deal?"
"I...I don't know it's just... nevermind" Tum sighed again and continued eating. After a few minutes Tar went to his room and noticed two suitcases
"P'? Have you prepared my lugguages too?" Tum is leaning on the doorframe
"We have to leave early tomorrow so I prepared your suitcases too..."
"Thank you P' but it wasn't necessary" Tum ruffled his hair and kissed his forehead
"Goodnight and sweet dreams Tar" Tum left and closed the door
"Yeah... sweet..."
Don't you like it Tar? Come on... they're here just for you Tar
"P' Lhong stop... please..."
Stop? But this is just the beginning... and I want to enjoy this...
"Lhong... sto...stop..."
SHUT UP! You will do this and you will even like it, I do this just do please you come on... you're so boring...
"please..."

"NO it won't work Lhong... let me go ... please..."
You don't know anything so shut up... oh ... I have an idea... You there! I don't want to hear his annoying voice anymore... you know what I mean
"NO No N..."
Tar woke up gaspimng for air but he didn't make any noise so Tum couldn't hear him. In the meanwhile Tum was peacefully asleep.
"Tar... I... I want to... to say you that..."
I know P'... you love me, and i love you too
"re...really? Why dind't you say it before!... I was so... sad because I feared that ... that you..."
"I don't hate you P'... don't worry... I love you P'... I love you so much... but ..."
"But? What's wrong Tar?"
"there's... a problem but... I... I don't want to... to..."
"To? seriously Tar what's wrong? Tell me?!"
There is a guy... that I like... more than you...
"Wh...what? No... not again please... please tar..."
"P' Tum goodmorning, the alam didn't ring but we're in time don't worry" Tar said trying to wake him up.
"Tar..." he kissed him thinking that it was a dream. Tar pushed him away rapidly, he was almost disgusted
"OH... sorry Tar... I thought it was..." Tar sighed and left waiting in the car. Tum reached him a few minutes later
"Tar... I apologized... was it so bad?... I mean... what... what do you think that I was trying to do? Huh?"
"Nothing... start driving..."
after an hour tar fell asleep and started murmuring, at first Tum didn't care about what he was sating but then he listened to more carefully
"Lhong... lhong stop... please..."
Why was he dreaming Lhong? Why was he imploring him to stop? to stop what? at the end Tum decided that he couldn't force him.
"I'll wait... I hope that soon or late... you'll tell me... what happened to make you so sad..."
