[ 165. Overcame Fear]
It had past midnight. Dae lied awake looking at the dark ceiling above him, his eyebrows scrunched together as he tried to make some important decision regarding his relationship with Aroon. The older was sound asleep beside him, still one of his strong arms caging him protectively from one side." Aru..", he suddenly called shaking the older. He needs to tell the older something urgently. Out of nowhere, he has suddenly got some strange yet strong courage, a courage to do something, something daring. He needs to do it right now or what if he loses the courage tomorrow morning?Aroon groaned in discomfort as Dae called him again. Dae reached his hands to the nearby switch board and soon the lights were turned on. Aroon's eyelashes fluttered in irritation at the sudden lightening that filled the room along with the younger calling his name whilst shaking him. " What bun ?", he asked slowly opening his eyes." Aru, I have took one impo[166. Ice rink]Dae sits in one of the side seats of a bus to Seoul with the older's phone in his hands, his eyes glued on the phone screen, his lips curved upward and his dimples visible as he reads the rest of the comments under their post. There had been a lot of new comments, the morning and new comments are appearing every minute. Most of them are supportive and Dae can’t help but feel extremely happy. Whenever he comes across a negative comment, he quickly skips it. He doesn’t let his mind get affected by the negative remarks.Aroon sits beside the younger, carefully watching his expression, smiling slightly whenever the younger’s smile widens a bit more. The boys had left Min's apartment only half an hour ago, after having the breakfast Granny min prepared for them. “ Enough Bun.”, Aroon says after sometime. “ You will get a head ache if you read while traveling.”“ Oh..really?”, Dae tilts his head and asks. “ Yeah I think I am s
[167. I will be with you.]The drive to Sky Park is only 20 minutes. The boys sits in the back seat of a cab, peering out of the windows at the bright lit malls and shops on either sides of the highway. It's almost 7 Pm and all the shops has been brightly lit with colourful lights.'Fake Love, BTS' is playing on the radio in the background and Dae tries humming along with the song whilst carefully observing the Seoul city. The driver, who is probably a guy in his late twenties also sings along with the song in a low voice whilst vigorously shaking his head. Aroon just sits and enjoys the cool wind whipping through his cheeks from the taxi's open window." Are you two a couple ?", the driver suddenly asks stopping his singing and glancing at them through the mirror. Both Aroon and Dae is surprised. Not because the driver asked them that question but because he asked in English." Yeah..", Aroon replies. The driver just smiles in response and starts
[1. MR. Ron]" KIM TANAWAT"Dae flinched and jumped out of his bed in shock. It was Aroon, his stepbrother screaming his name from downstairs. Not even five minutes had passed since he went upstairs. He had just lied back on his bed, tired after doing all the works Aroon asked him to do.Whenever Aroon calls him 'KIM Tanawat', Dae feels vexed. He feels like he belongs to some other world. Why can't Aroon simply call him Tanawat if he can't call him Dae. What's the need of 'KIM '? Dae don't even remember the face of his late south Korean Dad, whom he inherited the 'Kim' from. Neither has he visited south Korea nor has he actually met a Korean individual yet, even though there are lot of Koreans in Thailand especially Bangkok, the place where he lives with his Step Dad and Step brother.Almost all his friends has wondered about his name. He is tired explaining his story to all those people who would ask. He
[2. Puffy eyes]Kobsook Duangporn, CEO of Duangporn enterprises, parked his black Mercedes in the big porch of his mansion beside his son’s black Rolls-Royce and walked in through the front door. He was in his business suit that was still crisp and unwrinkled like in the morning and had a small black suitcase in his hands. His face looked pleasant as always and had a cheerful expression which he managed to wear, despite the numerous business affairs and the stress they impacted upon him.
[3. Icecubes]Aroon entered Dae's room with a bowl of ice cubes and a hanky, slamming the door behind. He saw Dae still sitting on the bed hugging his teddy bear with teary eyes. He has not changed his clothes yet. Aroon went to him and put the bowl on the night stand."Oh..what a dramatic hoe..! Why haven't you changed your clothes yet? Didn't I tell you to get ready?" Aroon asked in his angry tone. He then dragged Dae harshly towards him and grabbed the bear from his hands and threw it away." How old are you ? 17 or 4 ? Don't you have shame to hug this ugly thing like some 4 year old girl ?"" You bought me that." Dae said, barely audible for Aroon to hear." I will burn that thing soon." Aroon said looking at the stuffed toy, which was now lying on the floor. " Hmm...now sit still. stop crying and look here." He said in an uninterested yet soft tone which was so not familiar to Dae. Dae furrowed his eyebrows and looked at Aroon. He rolled his e
[4. Light weight]Dae could clearly understand that Aroon's uncles, aunts and cousins not really liked him coming to the party, just by the looks they were giving him. He himself didn't want to come here but it was his Dad's decision.As soon as they arrived, Aroon went and handed his Grandma, the gift bracelet he had bought for her. He sat near her and talked to her for a while. Then he joined his cousins. Dae was too afraid to even look at them or talk to them. They won't like him joining their group. So he stayed by his Dad's side. Nobody was coming to talk to his Dad also. And Kobsook was hesitant to go and begin a conversation with anyone. He just decided to come to the party because both of his brother in law's urged and forced him to come. He sat down on a couch in the corner and took out his phone. Dae followed him and sat down beside him."Dae...go join Aroon and the boys." Kobsook said turning to Dae." Ahmm...I will better sit here. Maybe
[5. C.U]The next day, Kobsook went along with Dae for his high school graduation ceremony. He had asked Aroon also to come along with them but Aroon somehow managed to escape saying he had to go to a friend's party. Aroon can't even imagine a situation in which he has to see Teachers, students and everyone appreciating Dae. That is worse than death for him.All were surprised at Dae's result since he was always just an above average student. No one expected this high grades from Dae. Dae was always not able to score high because of Aroon. He will beat him if he score high. Also Aroon won’t let him study at home. He would make him write his assignments all the time or make him do some other works or if he is in a good mood, he would just ask him to watch a movie or drama on his tab or in their home theatre. Aroon had once made him watch a horror movie alone at night, in the dark theatre room at high volume and locked him from outside. He don’t know what happene
[6. Orphan]It was calm and quiet for some days. Dae had to meet Aroon only during breakfast and dinner times. At noon, Kobsook won't be there at home and they both eat at different time. Dae waits for Aroon to finish his lunch and come upstairs. He would come out of his room only after hearing the sound of footsteps coming upstairs and the door of Aroon's room slamming shut. Aroon never really came to his room or spoke to him after the day of his Graduation. Also he didn't order him to do any works. Kobsook didn't go for any business tours during the time and so servants were always at home. So Aroon could possibly do nothing to Dae. Dae also maximum avoided going in front of the older.One day morning, the three of them were having breakfast while suddenly Kobsook's phone rang. It was a call from his assistant. After he ended the call, he looked at Aroon and spoke."Aroon, son..please take Dae to college. I have an urgent business meeting today." He then looke
