I don't like man, If not you

Part 20: Please let us be

Ginkgew was obviously not interested in getting fresh with Krist. She had already fixed a webcam in the room and was waiting for Krist to fall for the trap. Once she had the evidence she needed, she was going to present it to her brother, and she was confident that it was going to work.

Krist wanted to free himself from her clutches and run, but what he did not expect was that Ginkgew's strength was greater than him. And with great ease, she was able to push him down on the bed. Krist was ashamed that he couldn't even outdo a girl, but he didn't really have much time to ponder over his lack of strength. Ginkgew was already climbing towards him. She reached out her hand and caressed his face.

Krist was so nervous that his lips were actually quivering. He was praying that Singto would suddenly appear, but when he thought harder, that would also be quite a disaster! Imagine the misunderstanding that it would cause. He didn't dare imagine how Singto would have reacted. Krist mustered his strength and courage and tried to wriggle free, but out of nowhere, Ginkgew delivered a punch to his gut and that made him wince in pain. Taking this opportunity, Ginkgew took a rope out and tied Krist's left arm to the bed.

"If you don't want me to punch you one more time, you'd better stay here and do as you're told. Oh, I forgot to tell you that I was a Judo-ka before."

"What are you trying to do to me? I will never do anything to you. You are wasting your time and effort." Krist tried to reason with her.

"Oh really?" Ginkgew's hand slowly crept downwards, reaching for Krist's groin. "Can you fucking stop it?"

"Stop acting. I'm very sure you'll have a reaction."

"Fuck no."

"Haven't you heard that men think with their heads at the bottom? Even if your mind is not thinking about it, your body will react."

...........

Singto was prepared to leave the dorm, and as he was about to do so, he bumped into Chimon.

"Isn't Kitty with you?" Chimon asked.

Singto just frowned, not saying anything.

"Didn't he say that he was going to your house? Why aren't you with him? Did I hear correctly? Hmm..."

Singto carefully thought about what Chimon had just said. He thought about whatever he had done today. He was with his older sister in the morning, and the two of them had breakfast. She said that she had misplaced her phone, and begged Singto to lend her his for the time being. She then asked him to run an errand for her.

Singto put the two and two together, and immediately, he rushed home.

........

Krist was already topless by then. Ginkgew had removed his shirt.

"What? Still no reaction? I see your determination is quite strong. Don't worry my sweet boy. Nong Sing is not going to come. Just relax." Ginkgew taunted him.

"Why are you doing this? What do you stand to gain?" Krist pressed on.

"I want my younger brother back"

"I did not snatch him away from you!"

"Don't you understand? Both of you are guys! How will others think of you in the future? Stop being stupid. Anyone can say that they love each other. But when a crisis hits, you are just going to get a bad reality slap. Will you be willing to let go of all you have? You can ignore what other people say, but that doesn't mean that you won't be hurt by them. I don't want my brother to go down this path. Nong Apple and him were meant to be a couple. He was everyone's pride and joy, and you... because of your selfishness... you are destroying him."

Krist did not retaliate. Whatever Ginkgew said was true.

Meanwhile, Singto burst into the room and saw the two of them on the bed. His face darkened.

"Why are you interrupting us? Can't you see we are having fun here?" Ginkgew said

"P'Sing, it's not how you think it is..." Krist tried to explain.

"You have seen what the both of us have done. Do whatever you think you need to do." Ginkgew persisted.

Singto grabbed Ginkgew's clothes and dragged her out of the room and down the stairs. He threw her clothes out of the door and pushed her out of the door.

"Up to this point, you are still trying to protect him? What are you trying to do?" Ginkgew asked desperately. "What am I trying to do? You should know."

"I only know one thing: the two of you can't be together."

"When was it up to you? I am warning you: don't touch him or else I'll really get angry."

Ginkgew could tell that he meant business. And with that, Singto slammed the door shut. Singto went back upstairs. Krist was still lying on the bed, now staring at an expressionless Singto. Singto helped untie Krist. Once he was free, Krist collapsed into his embrace.

"I really didn't do anything. P'Sing have got to believe me." he wailed.

"Who said you did anything?"

Still in his embrace, Krist nodded, but he dare not look him in the eye. Singto lifted Krist face and looked at him, and to his surprise, he saw Krist in tears. It was the first time he saw his lover cry.

" Khun Ginkgew said that when P'Sing were with Apple, everyone was envious of P, P were everyone's pride and joy. But I... I stole that from you. Loving another guy is really difficult, P'Sing."

Singto understood why Krist was crying. He wiped away his tears and said gently, "You did not steal anything from me. Instead you have given me joy. As to whether loving another guy is difficult or not, I can only say one thing: even though you are a guy, I would still love you."

Krist's first set of tears were exchanged for Singto's first words of love. And just as Krist was relishing in such a romantic moment, Singto continued, "To think you were actually going to be raped by a woman."

"You are such a killjoy, you know that?" Krist said angrily.

"And you actually even cried." Singto continued to add salt to the wound.

"I didn't cry because I was scared."

"Really?"

"Stop looking at me like that. Your sister is one scary shit. P'Sing can't blame me for being scared actually."

"No matter what, she's only a girl."

"I really hate P, P know that?"

Krist, in his sullen state, returned to the dorm. He recounted his whole ordeal to Chimon but instead of getting any sympathy from him, Chimon laugh out loudly.

"Oh oh my Kitty, You were nearly raped by a girl?" Chimon continued to laugh.

"My tummy is hurting from laughing so hard. You are guy for heaven's sake! You are really an idiot."

Krist ignored him. No one seemed to understand him.

The next day, while Krist was having a class, Ginkgew appeared in school and called him to come out.

What more do you want?" Krist asked.

"As long as you guys are together, I'll do my utmost to break you guys up."

"Why?"

"I think I've made myself clear yesterday. Furthermore, how sure are you that my brother is going to stand by you all the way? He might be in this relationship because he is just curious. How can you pin your hopes on such a relationship?"

"Khun Ginkgew, you will never understand the relationship that I share with your brother. Even if what we have is due to a moment of curiosity, I am already satisfies with the fact that he likes me and is willing to be by my side. There is no point discussing the what-ifs. I can only pin my hope on P'Sing. That is the basis of our love."

"Why are you so stubborn?!"

Looking at Ginkgew straight in the eye, he said resolutely, "Please let us be!"
