Gulf's P.O.V:
I walked to the hospital carrying a small plastic bag with me.
Ai Type is going to be happy to see this.
I knocked on the door and Ai Tum opened.
"Sawadee Krap" I said smiling.
"Sawadee Krap" He said.
Then he let me in.
Ai Type was so occupied with the TV he didn't even notice that I came in.
So I went to sit beside Ai Tharn.
"What's that?" He asked pointing to the plastic bag.
"May I present you Mr Pink" I said taking out a worn out pink stuffed bear from the bag.
"I thought it was gone by now" He said admiring the bear.
"Well...His mother made sure that the bear is always in a good condition" I said handing it to him.
He smiled and nodded then started removing some of the dust from it.
"You went back to Ko Tao just to get this from the hotel?" He asked amused.
I huffed and nodded.
"You don't know how hard it was to sneak in through the back door without being seen by the parents" I said.
"You mean your parents" Ai Tharn said.
"Not my parents...His parents don't get on my nerves now we just became friends" I said sighing.
"Oh so now we are friends?" He asked smirking.
"Well you help Ai Type and he loves you so I'm facing the facts here" I said.
He chuckled and shook his head.
"Alright I'm glad that we're friends now...I grew tired of receiving your punches all the time" He said smiling.
"Not sorry" I said smiling.
"Oh come on" He whined.
"Nope" I said shaking my head.
Ai Tharn stood up and gave the bear to Ai Type who looked at it in interest.
"Ai Type...That's Mr Pink" He said smiling.
"Pink?" He asked confused.
"Yes...You got him when we were seven" I said.
Ai Type nodded but he still looked at us confused.
I sighed and shook my head.
Maybe he doesn't remember it after all.
"Gulf...Play Mr Pink...Mr Pink... Khom...Mother" He said.
"Yes...Yes do you remember?...Ai Khom's mother gave it to you" I said excitedly.
He nodded hesitantly.
"Good...That's good" I said sitting down beside him.
"I...good?" He asked.
I smiled and nodded so he also smiled and nodded as I ruffled his hair.
After a few hours Ai Type took his medicines and was sleeping peacefully.
Ai Tum and Ai Tar left and Ai Tharn was holding his hand.
I sat on the chair beside Ai Tharn.
"So what are you going to do now?" Ai Tharn asked.
"About what?" I asked.
"About this whole situation with Ai Type and Lhong" He said.
"I'll punish him of course" I said.
"Alright listen to me...I know you're angry...I understand...I'm also angry...Ai Type is alive and he's slowly healing...So you should focus on helping him...Leave Lhong alone so you don't do something you'd regret later" He said putting his hand on my shoulder.
I sighed and shook my head.
I'm done doing nothing.
This isn't the first time something like this happened this time I'll do something about it.
I felt like this was the only way for me to gain my peace of mind.
So I will definitely do it.
"I can't live with myself knowing that I didn't do anything this time as well" I said.
"Ai Gulf...Please listen to me...You still have a chance to stop...Trust me you'll feel guilty...This will never make you feel better" He said.
I sighed and shook my head then stood up.
"I can't do that" I said then left the room.
After a few minutes I went back to the hotel and decided to talk to P'Sanran.
But I realized that I left my phone back at the hospital.
Tharn's P.O.V:
I took out my phone and searched for Lhong's number.
Then I finally hit the dial button and waited for him to pick up.
"Ai Tharn?" He asked through the phone.
I realized that I still can't stand hearing his voice so I hung up and decided that texting will fit the bill.
'I'm warning you leave Bangkok as soon as possible go back to Germany'
(Meanwhile at Pete's house)
Techno's P.O.V:
"Are you sure that you don't want your parents to know where you are?" Ai Pete asked.
"No...I'm not sure if I can face them yet" I said sighing.
"But still I'm sure that they are worried about you" Ai Kao said.
I sighed and shook my head.
"I can't talk to them now...I never had such a mess in my life so I'm not sure if they can help me when I myself don't know what to do" I said.
Ai Kao looked at us confused as Ai Pete put his hand on my shoulder.
"Do you know something I don't know?" Ai Kao asked confused.
"Ai Kao I said I don't know anything" He said.
"I don't believe it" Ai Kao said folding his hands over his chest.
"Alright I know are you happy?" He asked glaring at him.
"I'm sorry for imposing on you guys" I said.
"Don't worry...You can stay here as much as you want" Ai Pete said.
I nodded and thanked him.
"Can you please tell me what's happening?" Ai Kao asked.
"I'm sorry Ai Kao but I don't feel like talking about it right now" I said.
It's bad enough that Ai Pete already knows.
But I wouldn't have told him if I wasn't staying at his house for the past year and half.
Ai Kao sighed and nodded.
"I'm sorry Ai Kao but It's not my secret to share" Ai Pete said.
"Alright I get it I won't ask again don't worry" Ai Kao said sighing.
"Thank you guys...I'm sorry" I said.
"Don't worry" Ai Pete said.
"So...Ummm...We were about to go out to meet Ai Mork and P'Sun...Ai Rain and Ai Manow are also coming" Ai Pete said smiling.
"Do you want to come with us?" Ai Kao asked.
"Alright...Thanks for inviting me" I said.
"I'm fine as long as that bastard Non doesn't come" Ai Pete said.
Ai Kao gulped then nodded.
Ai Pete apparently hasn't forgiven Ai Kao completely yet.
Oh well he's getting there.
I mean after all Ai Pete loves Ai Kao as much as Ai Tharn loves Ai Type.
I felt really bad for causing this strain on Ai Pete.
Then suddenly I had an idea.
"Ummm...Guys?" I asked.
"Hmmm" Ai Pete said.
"Do you want to go out?" I asked again.
"Sure" Ai Kao said.
"Alright...Let's go watch a movie" I said standing up.
They went to change.
After a few minutes we arrived at the movie house and I said that I was going to buy pop corn.
Then ditched them and went home.
(Sometime later)
Pete's P.O.V:
Me and Ai Kao waited for a few minutes but still Ai No was nowhere in sight.
"The movie is about to start where is he?" Ai Kao asked.
I sighed and decided to call him.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Oh hi Ai Pete...Don't wait for me I went back so...Ummm...Enjoy your date" He said then hung up.
"Is everything ok?" Ai Kao asked.
I nodded.
"So then where's Ai No?" He asked.
"He went home" I said.
"Is he sick?" He asked.
"Nope...Stop worrying too much let's go in" I said pushing him in front of me.
(Later that night)
Lhong's P.O.V:
I opened my phone and found a text message from Ai Tharn.
I sighed and read the text before deleting it.
Then I called a friend of mine.
"I want you to find someone for me...It's important" I said.
Then hung up before the person could answer me.
I went to my brother's room.
"P'Krit?" I asked.
"Come in" He said.
I sat down on the chair in front of him and took a deep breath.
"I want to ask you something" I said.
"Go ahead" He said not looking up from his book.
"Was it you?" I asked cautiously.
"What do you mean?" He asked looking up at me.
"Was it you who forbade the police from working through the case?" I asked.
"What case?" He asked.
I sighed and shook my head.
It's not him after all but that means that someone else knows.
Someone else knows what happened to Ai Type...
And that person must be close to me enough to cover up the case.
I need to find that person.
"Ai Lhong are you alright?" My brother asked putting his hand on my shoulder.
I smiled and nodded.
"Ok...But you know you can tell me anything ok?" He asked smiling.
I sighed and nodded.
Then stood up and left the room.
I opened my phone on a video of the latest news.
'Let's go back to the case of the young man who was found in the empty apartment about three months ago...The corruption is at it's peak...Police officers refused the case many times...Luckily the victim was found...Sustained multiple injuries...We sincerely offer our condolences to the family of the victim and hope he will return to his loved ones as soon as possible' The news anchor said.
Then they showed a video footage of the Thiwats crying.
And Ai Tharn who was broken beyond repair as he craddled his lover in his arms.
His lover...
The one I destroyed.
I suddenly felt the urge to laugh at myself.
Because it's then I realized that I'm truly pathetic.
