what you want from him.

It was surreal for Gemini. After Nattawat keeping his word and becoming tour guide, taking Gemini to every single place he knows around with his beloved motorcycle, now they end up at the place where they met for the first time again.

He already had enough after Nattawat took him to fulfill his bucket list. Like Gemini said, before he decided to run away, the beautiful man already had a long list of things he wanted to do once he arrived in Hawaii. He wasn't missing any details after research he did a few days before he finished his film project.

Hawaii has always become a special island for Gemini. Even though the place left scars on his memory, Gemini was willing to risk himself to come back just to experience the things he wasn't able to do because of his work before. He made sure where he wanted to go and what he wanted to do on his destination, making everything packed.

And Nattawat actually helped him a lot with communicating with locals. Now Gemini knows the facts: some oldies in Oahu were actually tied with their language and weren't very familiar with other languages, just like on the market this morning, Gemini almost thought his face would be covered by bruises if Nattawat didn't come earlier.

Gemini eyes were sparkling bright as an alluring smile etched on his beautiful carven face when he watched Nattawat dancing with the waves from afar. He might be scared to be there, to stand where Nattawat is right now. But looking at how Nattawat's board weaved nimbly as the shirtless muscular man hands became one with the water on his side, Gemini only found it mesmerizing and believed Nattawat really born to be a surfer by how energized he was right now.

But on the other hand, that also made Gemini come into realization. He likes spending time with Nattawat, he likes the man's smiles, he likes how Nattawat cares for him, he likes Nattawat giving him comfort, he…likes Nattawat. And after their kiss that night, Gemini already understood how he felt towards the man. The way he melts under the brief moment they share that night, the way he understood what he felt wasn't just summer fling, the way he knew it was real.

He dreamed of cracking locks. What he did right now might throw his life to the wolves or ocean rocks if he chose to tread longer and might trigger holocaust for himself. Gemini is aware there's a boundary for what he did and soon, he needs to go back to his country no matter what.

Last night after Nattawat fell asleep whilst hugging him, Gemini chose to turn on his phone and contact his manager after he was in the right headspace, tell how he's been doing to reduce the heat he already predicted on his company and inform he will be back to Thailand in 2 days.

“Do you like my brother?”

Gemini choked on a sudden question even when his throat was dry. The man flinched at the sudden appearance of a short haired girl with her crochet beach dress who already sat beside him. Like…when this girl even comes here?

“Nattawat is a fragile person even if he looks like that. You need to decide what you want from him and make it clear before you leave him.”

“What does that even mean?” He hasn't even answered yet. But Nita, the girl he knew as Nattawat's little sister, wasn't joking, he looked at Gemini.

“You're an actor, I don't know what you're doing here by yourself but sooner or later, you will leave this place. Either him.” Oh, she knows. “Nattawat might not be a good brother but he's a nice person. Whatever he's having with you right now, I just don't want my brother getting hurt in the future. He already had enough.”

“What do mea–

“Nita, don't bother him. Why don't you go to your boyfriend? He's been waiting and almost misunderstood you're sitting so close to my sweet angel.” Nita makes a gesture like she's about to puke before she runs to the tall brunette boy who has been watching Gemini for a while.

“So, what are you talking about with my sister when I'm not here?”

“Nothing.”

“You seriously don't want to tell me?”

“There’s nothing seri– ous….” Suddenly Gemini’s breath hitched once Nattawat got close to him. He was naked, only wearing his orange shorts and making Gemini gulped his own saliva thinking those tight muscles belonging to Nattawat almost touched him. Water droplets from his wet hair fall into Gemini cheeks feel tingly.

“Natta.”

“Yes, sweet angel.”

“I will go back to Bangkok in 2 days.”
