The morning came, Sam had woken up first and he stood up to take water from his refrigerator, He drank it as larry was still sleeping, suddenly the blood on his nose dropped again and he noticed it, "argh, again."
He immediately took his medicine from his secret drawer to take it, after he finished taking shower he sat down beside Larry where still sleeping, patting larry's head as he smiled, "wake up. It's already morning." He whispered.
Larry woke up slowly as he yawned, "Good morning." He greeted.
"You better take a shower now, we have to go there." Sam replied and larry got up as he stretched his arms.
"Argh! What a beautiful view in the morning."
Sam smiles at him and he flick Larry's forehead, "go, now." He replied.
He stands up, grabbing some towels as he goes inside the bathroom while sam is packing his stuff to his bag, notices something red inside and he takes it. "Oh, the red bracelet." He immediately put it in his pocket as he continued packing on those things.
After they are well prepared, larry is driving his motorbike, heading to his mom's house with Sam, as they feel the breeze slapping on them.
"Woah, I can breathe comfortably." Sam, saying to himself.
"Hold tight, I'll speed up." Larry said to him and he immediately held Larry's waist so tight,"Yes, I already held it." He replied.
After the long ride, they had arrived at his mom's house, Sam felt out of nowhere because the place had changed a lot.
"Woah, its different now." saying as he held the helmet and looked around.
"Let's go inside, I don't know if my mom is here." larry said and he hold Sam's hand as they walked inside, they saw Megan and his mom sitting on the veranda.
"Mom." He greeted, and Sam immediately took his hand from him and he put it in his pocket.
Megan and his mom both look surprised, when they look behind them.
"Oh, larry. Why are you here?" His mom asks.
"Well, mom. My boyfriend wants to see you." He replied proudly.
Sam got surprised when he heard it, "no, auntie. He's just joking." Sam replied and hit his elbow on Larry's stomach.
"Hi, Samuel. I still recognize you." Megan said to him.
"Good morning." He greeted me as he smiled.
"Come here, please be seated." Larry's mom said to sam,
They both walked inside and then they sat down, facing the two elders.
"What brings you here?" She ask.
"Oh, right. I brought some presents for you, auntie." He replied and he handed the present that they bought earlier from the market, "I hope you love it." He added.
"Of course, I love to. Are you hungry or something? I'm going to make some food for you. You're our guest and-
"He's not our guest mom, he's our family too. He's my boyf-
Sam steps his foot to make larry shut off as he looks at Larry's mom, "eh, um. He's talking nonsense. Don't listen to him, he's just joking around." Sam said to them while smiling fakely.
"What are you doing? I'm not joking around, i'm telling the tru-
He cover Larry's mouth again to shut him off as he curses larry with his eyes. He looks at larry's mom so awkwardly as he giggled so fakely, "there's something going on with your son, auntie." He said, "he ate so much salt."
"What's going on between you two? You two are acting weird." Megan asks them.
"Y.. yeah, auntie Megan. He's acting we-
Suddenly larry took Sam's hand from his mouth, "my boyfriend is acting weird right now." He immediately say it out loud.
Megan and his mom got startled after they heard it.
"What did you say?" She ask her son confusingly.
Sam seems screwed up when larry's mom is starting to raise her voice but all he could do was gulp his saliva that he felt nervous.
"Oh, Samuel isn't my friend. He's my boyfriend.. don't keep saying he's a guest whenever he comes here." He replied proudly to his mom, as he fixed his shirt and looking at sam so sharply.
"Really? For sure? For real?" Megan shouted suddenly and larry nodded for response.
"You really like this boy?" His mom asks.
"Yes, of course-
"I'm not asking you, i'm asking Samuel right now." She said and Megan held back her laugh as she acted properly, "You really like this boy? He's making so much trouble. I don't know how you can handle it but you have a future, Samuel. Don't you ever put yourself in the wrong way." She advised, "you have lots of dreams, right? I don't know what my son gave to you, that why he made you fall in love with him."
"Mom!" Larry yelled.
"It's ok, auntie. I can handle his naughtiness. He's just a piece of shit.. I mean a piece of cake." Sam replied jokily to her and larry's mom laughed at him as he held Sam's hand.
"Larry? Can you make some hot tea inside, can you cook some hot chocolate cookies for me? Megan? Can you take there my..
"Just say that you're going to talk with Samuel alone, not gonna give some order for us. We will leave, just say it directly." Megan cut her word.
"Hey, wench. You two go inside now, I have to tell something for him." She replied and they both walked inside to give some privacy for Sam and for her.
She holds Sam's hand tightly as she smiles, looking at Sam's eyes directly.
"Thank you, for loving him." She said all of a sudden.
"A.. auntie, it's o-
"I have lots I owe to you and I couldn't back it immediately. I'm sorry for handling my son's behaviour but you kept loving him the way he became aggressive." She said.
"No, auntie. It's sincere, you don't need to be sorry. I love him for real." He replied proudly.
She immediately hugged Sam as her tears were crawling on her cheeks, "Thank you very much for taking care of him."
"I feel safe in your son's hand." He replied as Larry's mom pats his head.
After those words that Larry's mom gave to sam, she felt better when she knew the truth, "You're a beautiful boy. My son is so lucky." She said and they giggled.
"Oh, there's something I want to tell you, auntie." He said suddenly and she got confused, "What is it?"
He immediately took the thing in his pocket, "Larry has told me before that your name was Lara and your husband's name Miguel, right?" He asks.
"Yeah, what's wrong on that?"
He showed the red bracelet on his hand, "here. Have you remembered this?" He asks.
"It's familiar to me. Why did you ask?" She said.
"Have you known someone named Kenneth?" He asks.
"Oh, yeah. Kenneth, including my husband, was in my group gang when we were seniors. Why?" She replied.
"Kenneth Beethoven, isn't?" He asks again for confirmation.
"Yeah, he's my closest friend, why?" She replied again as she was confused.
"I'm his son, Samuel Beethoven." He replied all of sudden and she was surprised.
"Really? No wonder you got Kenneth's eyes." She replied as she giggled softly.
"Why did you ask me that right now?"
"Here, this bracelet. Your other friend has this on his wrist in the picture and I've seen this on my dad that he's wearing it before he died. He buried it with himself but I saw it again at Larry's auntie Megan's house." He replied. "And I saw some pictures there with you, a big wall frame.. don't think about anything, auntie. I just saw it upstairs in the storage room because I want to clean that room when I come to his house in the city." He explained.
"Where have you seen this?" She asks as he took it from Sam's hand and she took a look on it.
"In the second floor room, i'm sorry i went there without megan's permission." He replied.
"Oh, I wish I could go back to my past." She said, "Our other friend's name, shawn Watson. He's our handsome member." She chuckled, "We're just four in the group and so chaotic. This bracelet is a couple bracelet, Shawn has secret feelings towards him, when Kenneth found out about it, he also likes Shawn too but he has a girlfriend and Shawn understands it. They exchange their bracelets with each other just to not forget each other when we graduate. After the day of our graduation, Shawn's mom wants to take him to France, but Shawn doesn't want to. He just wants to be at Kenneth's side even though the world is cruel. He's just watching Kenneth, your father, from a distance and just protecting him in his imagination, but his mom forces him to go with her. Then Shawn doesn't have any choice. He goes with his mom and we all know it. After 6 years. He told me that he will go back to our country and meet Kenneth again, he has the biggest hopes that Kenneth and the girl have already broken up, so that he can make a move on him. But unluckily we heard some news that Kenneth made his girlfriend pregnant.. he stepped back and didn't continue his flight here." She replied as she recalled her memories before.
"Shawn Watson?" sam asks.
"Yeah, he loves and likes your dad. He adored him, he protected Kenneth for everything.. risking his life one time for him." She replied, "Their love story untold, your father was suffering from leukaemia before, but he didn't tell us sooner. He just kept it until we knew that he's going to die." She added.
"Yeah, he's suffering from leukaemia." He replied and he bowed his head.
"Why did you ask me that? I almost forgot that now." She said as she giggled.
"I'm just curious, auntie. So I am asking you about this." He replied.
"Here, the hot cookies and juices. There's something you want to ask me, mom?" Larry came outside out of the blue and he put down those foods on the table.
"Thank you son, have a seat too. Let's talk about something fun." She replied, larry sat beside Sam and he smiled genuinely, "what are you two talking about?" He asks.
"No, there's nothing. We're just talking about something." Sam replied as he immediately hid the red bracelet in his pocket "There's nothing." and he smile fakely.
"I know you two are hiding something, mom.. I know you when you hide something." He said suspiciously. He glanced at his mom and at Sam. "You all look suspicious."
"Where's your auntie?" She asks.
"She went to her room, she said she was going to take a nap." He replied.
"Son, you should take a look at this young boy. He's so precious." His mom said to him.
"Of course, I'll protect him because I love him." He replied and they both laughed while talking to each other.
In the middle of Larry's and his mom's conversation as Sam was listening to them, suddenly the telephone rang and they both startled.
"Oh, someone calling. Let me answer it, I'll leave you two here." She said and she quickly went inside to take the call.
Sam was glancing shyly at Larry as he sipping his
"What?" Larry asks him.
"Nothing." He replied.
"Hello? What a beautiful day, how can I help you?" She asks through the phone. "Ah, ok. Ma'am." She replied through the phone and she put it down to end it up.
She came back to the veranda, hurrying, "Son, please look after the house. I'm going to city, I'll deliver those orders and-
"I'll go with you, mom." He replied.
"You can't. Samuel is here, I'll go with your auntie. I'm going to wake her up. "She said as she hurried.
"Ok, then."
"Just take care, auntie." Sam said.
When his mom already went out,
Larry glanced at him as Sam got confused.
"Why are you staring at me like that?"
"There's something I want to do with you." Larry said as he smugly crawled his fingers on Sam's lap.
"What? Hey, you asshole. What are you doing?"
He immediately grabbed Sam's waist and they landed on the couch. He started kissing him for a while while Sam kept avoiding his lips.
"Hey, hey. Stop! Please, Larry. It tickles me! Hey!" He shouts as he chuckles.
They make eye contact as they smile genuinely to each other.
"Stop that now, please." He begged.
"Nope, you can't escape." Larry replied and he continued, tickling and kissing him so randomly.
"Jerk, stop!" He shouts but Larry keeps doing it and he just laughs.
The three dorks inside the room are still competing snoring loudly. Noa is hugging kairo as they are deep in sleep, Philip had woken up and he gets up while yawning,
He looked at the two and he stood up, "better to go back to my dorm now."
When he is about to walk to the door, suddenly Kairo stops him, "Where are you going?"He asks.
"Oh, s.. senior. Did I wake you up?"
He gets up and he aggressively took noa's hand from his chest, "going back to your dorm?" He asks as he walks closer to philip.
"Y.. yeah, might go back now."
"I'll take you. Wait for me, I'll change my shirt." He replied.
"No, senior. I can go back with my ow-
"Hey! I'm going to Switzerland!" Suddenly noa speak while he's sleeping, and they all look back on him,
"That asshole, what's wrong with him?" Kairo asks, glaring so sharply, "I'll take you, let me take you there. Just wait here." He said to Philip and he immediately picked some clothes from his wardrobe.
He took off his shirt and Philip saw it, he got shy as he looked away just not to look at kairo's firm body.
"I'm done, let's go. By the way, why do you look red? Are you ok?"kairo ask him.
He clears his throats as he felt so awkward, "Um. No, i'm not." He replied.
"Ok, let's go now." and they walk downstairs, leaving noa in the room alone while he's still snoring.
While Kairo is driving the car, Philip feels sleepy but he fights it and kairo notices it.
"Are you ok? Are you sleepy?" He asks.
"Oh, yeah. A little bit, I didn't get enough sleep last night, your friend kept moving in my side and I can't even sleep peacefully." He replied shyly.
When he's focusing on the road he still notices that Philip got sleepy and just fighting with it.
"Stop fighting it back, just sleep there. I'll wake you up if we arrive." He said.
Philip nodded at him and leaned his head on the car window, He easily fell asleep while Kairo kept driving the car and he smile all of sudden.
"Buenos días!" Suddenly noa shouted as he open his eyes. "Oh, why am I just alone here?" He asks Himself, He immediately gets up to run downstairs, "Where's kairo?" He asks those maids in the corridor.
"The Young master accompanied the guest earlier and hasn't come back yet." They replied.
"Oh, shoot. I didn't join them. I want to walk around outside." He said while walking to the sofa in the living area, "Oh, there's something suspicious between them. Am I right?" He asks the maid that just standing on the corner.
"I.. I don't know what you are saying, sir. I'm sorry." She replied awkwardly.
Noa sighs as he lays down on the sofa, feels bored even though he just woke up.
Kairo arrives at the place and he wakes up Philip, "hey, open your eyes now. We're here."
He had woken slowly as he yawned, scrubbing his eyes and he gets up to sit properly, "We're not in front of the dorm. This isn't the dorm, why are we here?" He asks.
"To release our stress, I guess." Kairo replied and he smiled. "Let's go outside, let's play on the sands." He added.
They get off from the car and they sniff the breeze on the beach, "Woah, relaxing." as he felt to himself the cold wind.
They walk on the seashore while having fun in the water, philip splashes the water sea on him with his foot.
"Hey, Philip. Don't do that, we're here for relaxing not teasing." Kairo yelled as he avoided those water splash.
He stops what he is doing and they continue walking, "Thank you." He said suddenly.
"For what?" Kairo asks him.
"For taking me here, without knowing. I really love it." He replied.
"It's nothing, I want to release my stress too." Kairo said as he walked.
Philip was standing behind him while Kairo kept walking and he didn't know that philip is not following him.
"Right, we might need some-
When he look at Philip, he saw nothing so he turned back and Philip was standing a a far from him.
"What are you doing there? Come on." He called with his raised voice.
Philip was just staring at him from a distance, "I have lots of questions in my mind and I couldn't figure it out but now, right now. Standing here at the seashore and I know the answers to my question." saying to himself and he run into kairo, he held Kairo's shoulder as he tipped his toes so he reached Kairo's lips to kiss it, "He's the answer to my questions."
"Senior, ah.. I'm sorry.. I..
He kissed Philip back as he showed his true feelings toward him.
"Everything has been answered and it's relieved." Philip said to himself as they kissed under the sunlight beside the seaside.
The sun goes down and the sky already turns like sweet candy, After Kairo and philip showed their true feelings towards each other and they felt it reliving, They went to the dormitory to take Philip back there, They are standing oustide the dorm while saying goodbye to each other.
"See you around." He said as waving his hands at Philip.
"Oh, yeah. See you around." Philip replied awkwardly as he smiled shyly.
When Philip is about to walk inside, he stops and turns back while Kairo is staring at him.
"Senior...
"What?" He asks.
"Wanna go inside my room?" Philip asks shyly as they smile at each other., He walks closer to him as they walk together inside.
"Are you shy? You're turning into a red dumpling." Kairo said to him as holding back his smile.
He acts normally as Kairo notices that he's shy.
"No, i'm not. It's just hot here." He replied awkwardly and he just held his cheeks to cool it down.
They walk upstairs as they get there in front of his room.
"Wait here, senior. I'll just go first." He said.
When he went inside, he saw so much mess, His clothes were scattered everywhere and he just gulped his saliva on his throat.
"Shit." He cursed, he immediately cleaned up and rid all that mess, Hiding those scattered clothes under his bed and he open the door after he cleaned those stuff.
"Senior.. come inside. "He said with an awkward smile.
Kairo entered the room and he sat down on the bed, looking at Philip with his genuine smile.
"I'll get some drinks there, just wait-
When he was about to walk there, Kairo grabbed his hand and he unexpectedly went back closer to him.
"Thank you." Kairo said all of sudden and he hugged him, he smiled as he pats Kairo's back when that word made him feels better.
