My dear ones, I know these introductions are boring, but before this chapter I have to write a few words. All those who have watched the series know the Tum character. Since I'm not happy with how his character was done, I wanted to give him a little more space. And to give him a chance to find his soulmate. (I apologize to anyone who loves a TumTar couple but this story just isn't interesting to me)
That's why Alex was created. Although they are total opposites, they will still heal each other. Alex needs to feel the warmth of the human body and Tum needs someone to get him out of self-isolation.
You will realize how much I wanted to give him a happy ending story because I even wrote a song.
************
"That day I reached out to you with my hands and my heart ...
But you didn't see me, everything you said was: meet my loved ones.
Now I'm standing in the middle of the dark ... my hands are bleeding, squeezing a broken heart of glass ..."
Alex was standing on the roof of the building, waking up in a cold sweat, but the sun was strong enough here, so he could feel the heat immediately. He was barefoot and in the lower part of pajamas ... this had happened before, whenever he felt suffocating or overwhelmed by heavy thoughts he would climb to the top of the building and let the sun warm him. When he was a boy he lived in a family that he thought was normal. One day he woke up and was told he had been in a coma all month. He was 12 ... Alex lost his memory due to trauma and stress. He went to various therapists, psychiatrists, shamans ... but nothing helped. Whenever he tried to remember, he would get a terrible headache and be ill for two days. Nobody talked about what happened, they just said he had an accident. Soon after, he was sent to a boarding school abroad. Although difficult at first, it quickly fitted. He didn't remember anything about his family or friends anyway. Alex rarely went home, but he found new friends at boarding school. When enrolled in college, some things about his family became clear. It was a family running a dirty business. And Alex didn't want anything to do with it. The connections he made while at boarding school became very important when enrolled in college. He had money, and he found a common language with other rich people. Father was in good health, his cousins were the ones who took care of the business. Although Alex was the only child no one expected him to inherit his father. Alex didn't want to ask why. After graduating from college, planned to stay in the UK but father's lawyer came with an envelope. It said that Alex was getting his share of the inheritance. They were healthy businesses, small, but not founded with dirty money. It was up to Alex to decide what to do with them. He seized the opportunity and made his little empire. However, as his wealth grew, Alex was increasingly associated with his mafia family. But, didn't mind. He knew that in the eyes of the law, everything worked according to the regulations. TV stations and magazines were purely entertaining.
He promised Techno that he would not touch Type, but still had to find out why he was so upset, by that face. What found out surprised him a little. Type was the son of actress Satin, the father-deceased, a medical student. His boyfriend is Tharn K. That's what shocked Alex a lot. Tharn K was a good catch, a dangerous player and among the richer people in Thailand. Alex's magazines have often written about Tharn's successes, both business and love. Alex met Tharn and he respected Tharn's success. This is just further evidence that Type is a very special person. He didn't want to resent Tharn K, but he'd have to talk to Type once again.
Tharn planned to surprise Type. It had been six months since they had been together, he knew that Type loved music and concerts, but that he had no one to go to before. So tonight he wanted to surprise him. This was a rare occasion and if Tharn was not best friends with the singer, and that the club was not owned by him maybe Type would never have opportunity to hear this musician live.
Tum was one of the most famous Thai singers who even made a huge success in the world. His ballads "Heart of glass" "Embrace Me Only Once" "While Smiling My Heart Cries" were just some songs that brought him planetary glory. And when he announced four years ago that he was retiring, millions of fans were broken for days. They wrote petitions, threatened to kill themselves. But Tum stayed with his decision. No one knew the reason for this. However, Tum could not refuse Tharn's request. Tharn also didn't know the reason why Tum decided to end his career. He must have a good reason for it, and Tharn didn't want to be another person to ask him questions. He hoped Tum would tell him one day.
Tum was sitting in a club where he would sing for Tharn and his boyfriend tonight. When Tharn called him and told he was looking for a favor, Tum couldn't even dream what was going to happen. Tharn has a boyfriend! Tum agreed but was still in shock. He just had to get to know the person that made Tharn do this kind of thing. Tum knew Tharn wouldn't call him if this person wasn't special. He was not jealous, but felt a small stab in heart. For many years he loved one person, but that person never noticed it. That person always looked up to him as a younger brother. That person inspired him to do something of his life. Because of that person he became famous. Because of that person he wrote his most beautiful songs, but also because of that person he touched the blackest bottom.
When Tharn told Type that he was taking him to a special place tonight, Type couldn't dream of listening favorite singer! He knew every song, how many times he cried listened to that beautiful hoarse voice as he sang of love. Type remembered perfectly the day when all media reported that Tum was withdrawing from the music scene. It was a shock to everyone. He was only 24 years old ...
And here, he is now sitting with Tharn and Tum at the club, talking, drinking .... in fact Type was silent because he was still shocked. Tharn never mentioned Tum as his friend in these six months. He stared at the two of them and tried to follow the conversation.
- "Tharn, this was quite a surprise, you don't usually ask for favors."
- "I wanted to do something nice for Type, and I know there are a lot of your songs he often listens. Although I was surprised when you told me you had been in Bangkok for a while. Why didn't you call me?"
- "Because you were busy, don't think I didn't follow the media. And I also had some projects that I had to finish."
- "Mmmm .."
- "Type, so you're a medical student? Second year?"
Type nodded.
Tharn laughed when he saw Type flush:
- "Type, I'll be jealous if you keep looking at Tum."
Type was confused and ashamed.
- "I'm ... sorry but he's Tum! And he talk to me!"
Tharn and Tum laughed out loud. Tum looked at Type gently. From the first second he saw Type, he knew why Tharn had fallen in love. The boy was like an angel. Beautiful, cultured, he looked at Tharn with worship. And Tharn looked at this boy as if he were the only person in the world.
Tum was happy about Tharn, but he also feared for his friend. This is the first time Tharn is in love, his head was in a cloud but Tum knew that if something happened and their relationship broke, Tharn would break into a million pieces.
- "Tum, thank you for this tonight, I know you don't like to go out in public, but it would be nice to hang out a little more often. When you are free, the three of us could have dinner."
- "The five of us!" - Type shouted,
"Techno and Champ is coming with us!"
Tharn gently stroked Type's hair,
- "Of course how can I forget them."
Tum watching the couple's communication ... so he asked:
- "And who are Techno and Champ? Your brothers?"
- "Oh, no .... those are my friends. I wish they were my brothers."
Tum laughed at this honest and simple answer. Every second Type became more and more endearing to him.
- "Then I'll be very happy to meet them."
- "Can we call them right now?"
Tharn was looking at Type's pretty face, he looked like he was going to hyperventilate.
- "Baby, calm down. Tum may already have something in ...."
But Tum couldn't refuse Type and his cute face.
- "Tharn,I have nothing planned, let him call his friends so we can go somewhere."
- "Are you sure? I know you don't like crowds."
Tum nodded.
"Well baby, what are you waiting for, call them. We can meet in front of the Elysium. You said you liked it there."
Type typed messages for Techno and Champ. In fact, he already sent them messages and said he met Tum. Type planned to have a video call with them later and tell them everything.
Tharn, Type and Tum entered Elysium. Of course they settled into a VIP lounge. Type was thrilled. From the VIP lounge you could see almost the whole club.
- "Tharn, this is so cool. Techno and Champ are going to be thrilled."
Tum was looking at Type and Tharn. He was glad he came to the club with them. It's good to have people like Type in your environment. They show you that there are still people who are honest and life did not corrupt them.
Techno and Champ were so excited that they stuttered and acted like virgins at their first love meeting. But after a while they relaxed and then everyone enjoyed a chat and a drink. Although this was a VIP lounge the toilet was a bit further away.
Type and Techno stood in front of the restroom and chatted excitedly, but when the door opened Techno stiffened, he knew he had to pull Type but his hands and feet did not listen to him. And then he heard a mocking voice.
- "Ohh well this is a real surprise Techno. You and little sweet Type are waiting for me."
Techno just kept quiet and stared at Alex. Type recognized the face, saw Techno stiffen, and tried to push him.
- "I apologize, sir, but if you were to move, I really must go in."
- "Sir? Hahahahhahhah yes, of course, please."
Type pulled Techno and they went into the toilet.
- "Hey, No! Hey! What's going on with you?"
- "Do you have a phone?"
- "What ..."
- "I ask if you have a phone!"
Type shook his head.
- "Shit! SHIT! But maybe if we stay a little longer here Tharn will come looking for you, won't he?"
- "But what's going on? I recognized who he was, but why do you react like he's a maniac?"
- "You don't know Type, you don't know anything ...."
- "What I don't know? Tell me."
- "Type, he's a very dangerous man. Very influential, connected to the mafia. And he ..."
- "What?"
- "He is interested in you"
- "In me? You mean, like he likes guys so .."
- "I don't know Type! But I know he's interested in you!"
- "You know? He told you?"
Techno stared at Type.
- "Type, when we go out, if he's in front just go past him, if he tries something I'll distract him and you're running at Tharn. Okay?"
Type was looking at Techno and didn't understand what this story was about. He actually understood, but didn't know what to say. Techno seemed to be recording one of his series. He had to calm him down.
- "No my friend, don't worry. As long as I have Tharn, nothing will happen to me. He will protect me."
