Author : Boo everyone miss me , Im sorry I can't update on a proper timing school is ending and it's exam prep time and the workload is really heavy so I don't have motivation to write sorta just sit around during free time and think. HOWEVER Im back and finally we can know how NuNew and Zee story will progress . ALSO another important factor if people that continued to read the story are still here just wanted to say thank you, and in the beginning I put a bunch of characters and I don't think its possible for me to use all of them the ideas have changed as I began writing but I'll try to use the main ones at least.

The glow is so blinding, and the tranquility wrapping around my body takes my soul aback. Surrounded by an ethereal glow. I feel a gentle chilling breeze, white petals swept across the colorless glow. I raise my hand and grab a petal, and I run my fingers along the soft and smooth texture. I watch the flower in my hand as it evaporates into nothingness.

I raise my gaze to look ahead, the glow dimming itself. I feel a cold breeze hitting my ear, a breeze that feels like a whisper. I turn my head and notice the lady standing afar, her long midnight hair blowing along the wind, and her plain white dress flowing alongside the breeze.

I blink my eyes. She is in front of me, and the distance between us closes. I feel her cold winter breath on my forehead. Looking into her light brown eyes makes me feel small. I feel a sudden warmth within me as a slow, gentle smile spreads across her face. Her face was illuminated with a pure glow.

"Mama" I feel my lips moving, forming the word slow and steady.

"My little boy," she whispered slowly, her voice filled with tranquility. It melts my heart. I can feel tears brimming up in my eyes.

"You... know I love you a lot." She says softly. Those three words fill my heart with warmth. I close my eyes, ready to live in this moment. She brings her hands to my face, her cold palms touching my cheeks. She smiles at me and glides her hand down to my throat.

I wince slightly, opening my eyes." Mom?" I look at her confused,she doesn't look at me. I can feel her cold hands strangling my neck. I widen my eyes and lift my hands up to pull her arms away. I tug at her arms in panic, trying to pull them away, and they begin to melt away. I watch in horror as my arms dissipate in white sand.

I look back at my mother; her face showed no guilt; she kept her gaze steady, looking into the nothingness. I feel my breath shortening, and my limps begin to go numb. I look at my mother, the white figure fading away. Her eyes look into my eyes only for a second.

NuNew

My eyes shoot open, my head pounding in pain, sweat drenching my body. The familiar ringing sensation is going through my ears. I sit up in panic, hissing in pain.

"DOC" I hear a muffled yell and running footsteps.

My vision clouded with tears. I brought my shaking hand to my neck and noticed the trickling crimson liquid gliding down my arms.

I feel a pair of hands being placed on my shoulder, gently pushing me down to the bed.

"Your okay." A soft, deep voice says, I feel the persona hand grabbing my arm, a burning sensation on my arm, only for a second. "There bandaged the wound on your arm from the IV," the unfamiliar voice tells me as I stare at the white-colored ceiling while listening to the heartbeat monitor.

"Uh, is he good?" Another voice asks from afar.

"He is a little disoriented, Yim, but okay." The doctor replies

"Go inform Natasit and Zee," the doctor says as he shines a bright light, checking my pupils.

I hear a door shutting.

"Where.. am I?" I form the words slowly.

I turn my head towards the doctor; he's tall, his hair neatly pushed back, he has regular clothes on, and a stethoscope around his neck. I watch him pour me a glass of water. He helps me sit up and helps me drink the water. I observe my surroundings, which are nothing like a hospital except for my gown. I'm in a white-colored room with a large window on the left and a desk near the bedside. There are a few monitors in the room and medical supplies on top of the wooden desk.

I turn towards the doctor, wincing from the pain in my neck.

"The cut made on your neck was very deep; it's going to scar," he tells me. I stare at his dark brown, boba-shaped eyes. He smiles at me.

"I'm Doctor Wongratch; you can call me Dr.Mix for short," he says.

I stare at him blankly. He gives me an awkward smile.

"How long have you been having nightmares?" Dr. Mix questions me.

"Where am I?" I repeat my question with slight aggression.

"Sorry, NuNew I can't give that information without Zee's permission" the doctor tells me, frowning. I glare at him.

"I have to let you know your medication is inside the drawer. There is a paper with details on when to take it. Don't put too much pressure on your body," Dr. Mix explained. He patted my hair gently, smiled, and walked away, closing the door behind him. I stared at the closed door, lost in thought, before deciding to get out of bed.

I remove the blanket from my legs and slowly place my feet on the ground. Placing my hand on the bedside, I stand up. The dizziness was looming over me. Using the wall to hold my weight, I make my way towards the large glass window.

Looking outside, I notice nothing but an empty street with large gates separating the building from the outside. There are guards dressed exactly like those at the club party guarding the area.

-------------------------------

Zee

Yim had just informed me our guest had awoken, and he was contacting Nat.

I step outside my office. A few guards greet me, and I nod in reply. I make my way to the guest room he is residing in. Approaching the room, I gently creak the door open, not to alert him. Peaking through the creak in the door, I notice the figure back turned, looking out the window.

"It's him, isn't it?" A soft whisper says behind me. I shut the door gently and turn around.

"I think so, Phi'Kim," I tell the tall figure.

Kim sighs, and we take our leave. On our way to the office, I inform one of our guards to give our guest a pair of clothes and bring him some food before bringing him to the garden.

---------------------------------

NuNew

The creaking sound of the door catches my attention, but I stay facing the glass window, not turning around. After a few seconds, the door closes. I sigh hopelessly and walk back to the bed, sitting on the edge. As I reach for the cabinet where my medications are, a knock rings out.

A tall, handsome figure walks into the room. He has a sharp jaw and a serious facial expression. He has a plastic bag on his hand and a tray of food on the other. He walks over to me, places the tray on the side table, and hands me the bag.

"I'm a tutor," he tells me, handing me the plastic bag. I take it from him in confusion and look inside to see a pair of clothes.

"Eat, shower, get dressed, and come out of the room. I will be outside waiting, okay?" He tells me listing everything. I nod at him and watch him leave.

I take out the plain white T-shirt and black sweatpants and head to the bathroom in the corner. I step inside the shower and turn on the cold water, letting the water cleanse my body of sweat. After showering, I look at the tray of food on my bed skeptically. "What if it's drugged?" I muttered to myself, but my stomach had other plans. I took a few bites of the sandwich and drank some water.

Taking a deep breath, I turn the door knob.

As me and the tutor pass through the halls, I can feel all the curious stares. I try to ignore them by looking at the ground. "Uh, where are we going?" I question

" Garden" He informs me.

After climbing down a few stairs, we enter a large area. There are many guards stationed here, all in their own circles. Someone waves towards us, and the tutor replies with a quick nod before leading me towards an exit to the garden. I step outside, feeling the warm rays of sunlight hitting my skin. The garden in the back is bigger than my apartment building; it is filled with lush green grass and well-sculpted trees. Tutor guides me towards a table and tells me to wait here.

I observe my surroundings: there is a large fountain up ahead, and I notice a figure in vibrant clothing crouching down. Next to him are two bodyguards who look worn out.

"AH, MY FISH NEEDS MORE FOOD, ARM, AND POL." The guy in the brightly colored clothes yells out frantically. He gets up and starts shaking the guards by the shoulder.

"They will die if you feed them so much, Mr. Tankhun," one of the guards cries out.

"HOW DARE YOU SAY SUCH A THING?" Tankhun gasps and places his palm on his heart. He stares at the two guards in front before his eyes catch mine.

"The singer kid woke up, and no one told me?" Tankhun yells out, pushes the guards aside, and makes his way towards me. He walks over and sits down beside me.

"So what's your name?" he asks me with a stern expression on his face.

"NuNew Chawarin," I tell him.

He stares at me, bringing his hand to his chin and nodding. I give him another awkward smile. " Oh YOU POOR THING" He yells out of nowhere wraps his arms around me

"You don't have to worry a bit, kid. I'm going to keep you safe from all these dickheads," he exclaimed. I look at him confused and just smile.

We sit there for who knows how long as Tankhun keeps talking about series and clothes. I begin to feel sleepy from listening to him, but his sudden yells flinch me up.

"NuNew," a familiar voice yells out.

I turn my head around and notice a worried Nat running towards me, feeling a rush of relief. He runs towards me and wraps his arms around me, almost knocking me over.

"Are you okay? I'm so sorry I left you alone," he tells me, his voice breaking mid-sentence. I wrap my arms around him and tell him, "It's alright, I'm safe".

He lets go of me and takes a seat. " Oh, sorry, Mr. Tankhun," he says, looking at the man in vibrant clothes who is wiping fake tears from his eyes. He dismisses Nat with his hand.

"Such a beautiful friendship." Khun marveled, and Nat smiled at him and turned his attention towards me.

"Are you okay? Anything hurt?" He asks, concerned, and I reassure him I'm doing well.

There is a question floating in my head, but I feel bad cornering Nat especially when he seems so concerned about me.

---------------------------------

Narration

Kim stands above, watching the trio chattering in the garden. His gaze was filled with concentration. A figure creeps up behind Kim and wraps their hands around his wait.

Phi'Kim,"he whispers, blowing gently into Kim's ear. Kimhan chuckles lowly.

"Hello, little angel," he says, turning his head slightly to kiss the young man who's already grown an inch's taller than him on the cheek. He giggles and tightens his arms around Kim.

Kim laughs and shakes his head. "Chay, if you hug me any tighter, I'm going to suffocate" Kim says jokingly . Chay frowns at Kim and lets him go. He stands beside Kim and watches as he observes NuNew. Curious Chay asks him, "You know him somehow, Phi'Kim?"

"Not really." Kim replies nonchalantly. Chay stares at Kim intensely. He brings his index finger onto his chin and furrows his brows. "Phi'Kim, do you really think I won't see that you're lying? We've been together for too long." Chay whines

Kim laughs at the younger man's pouty expression. He sighs and wraps one arm around Chay's waist, pulling him closer. "Nothing gets past you, little angel," he pauses, looking towards Chay. Kim adds, "When I have a proper answer for you, I will tell you, okay?" Kim says, softly tilting his head towards Chay, giving him a soft smile, and kissing his forehead. Chay smiles brightly at Kim and nods his head in understanding.

"I will be waiting for an answer, Phi for now, I gotta go check on NuNew," he told Kim, returning the forehead kiss and walking away.

---------------------------------

NuNew

After awhile of sitting in the garden, Nat tells me we should go back inside.

As we walk through the long halls, I decide to bring up the burning question.

"So where am I? Why am I here? When can I leave? What the hell happened at the club? And whats up with the crazy yelling guy?" I bombard him with questions, frustrated with my confusion. Nat looks at me worriedly and gives me an unpleasing smile.

" That's a lot of questions. I can't answer all of them without Zee giving me permission -" I cut Nat off.

"Again with this Zee person." I groan out, annoyed.

"What is he, the boss around here? Even if he is, I don't care; I would like answers to my questions! and then get my ticket home from this weird place filled with robotic guards." I yell out, running my palms over my face. Nat rubs my back comfortingly.

"I already hate Zee. I don't know him; he doesn't know yet; he's giving orders on what I can do." I exclaim. Nat places his hand on my mouth as we are about to pass a group of guards in the hall. He gives them a quick smile and hurriedly walks us to my room.

"NuNew, I know you're mad, and I'm really sorry, but you can't badmouth the boss out loudly in front of all his men." He sighs out as we enter the room. I walk towards the bed and lay down on my back, and Nat takes a seat next to me.

"I'm sorry." He mumbled out. I sat up and wrapped my hand around him.

"No, you don't have to be sorry," I tell him, hugging him tightly.

After all, he is my best friend and the only person who has been there for me at my hardest. How can I be mad at him?

As I free Nat from the hug, a knock erupts, and we turn our attention towards the door.

A familiar tall young man enters the room. "Oh, Porchay" Nat exclaims.

Chay smiles at us as he enters the room. "How are you doing, NuNew?" He asked as he took a seat on the bed with us. "I'm doing much better," I inform him.

" How's the cut on the neck?k" he says, pointing towards the bandage. I shrug towards his question. "It doesn't hurt or anything; the doctor said it will scar," I tell Chay, who frowns at my response. "I guess you have already bombarded Nat with questions," Chay chuckles.

"Hopefully you get your answers soon, P'pete and the rest are coming over," Chay says excitedly. I look at him confusedly. He laughs at my reaction, and I give him an annoyed look.

"You'll see," he tells me, and at that moment another knock is heard, and two guards enter the room.

"Natttt!" the shorter one yells out excitedly, a gummy smile forming on his lips .

The taller figure rolls his eyes at his behavior . I look at the two of them, the taller figure catching my attention. I met him before his faded blond highlights, fair skin, and perfect eyes. He catches me staring, and I look away, embarrassed. "Ai nong, I remember you," he says, folding his arm and looking towards me. "Really??"the shorter figure says confusingly.

The fair-skinned boy nods. "I bumped into him at university because some annoying fly decided to play a prank on me and everyone supported the stupid idea." He huffs out angrily, the shorter figure's smile vanishes, and he turns away looking guilty.

"I'm James, and that's Yim," James tells me, pointing towards himself and his friend. Yim turns back around and gives me his gummy smile. I smile back; he has a contagious smile. "Ah, nice to meet you all, I guess."

Chay giggles besides me, " your confusion is amusing"

"Oh, he still doesn't know anything?" James says he forms an O shape with his lips, which gets mimicked by Yim.

"I think we should tell him James and Net story," Yim pipped up. James looked at Yim annoyed but couldn't stop the shorter man from ranting. I listen to all the silly stories they tell me, and a feeling of happiness fills my heart. My skepticism is dying out, but only for now.

"Having a sleepover without me" A voice says we hadn't even noticed him coming into the room due to our loud laughter. We all wai [Thai greeting] to him, and he greets us back. "Doc Mix has been awhile," James says.

"Good thing it's been while less I see you folks means less injuries," he says, walking over to the desk and grabbing a mini alcohol wipe.

" If you guys don't mind moving a bit, I would like to remove the bandage from his neck," the doctor says, pointing towards me. They all huddle away, giving Dr. Mix space. He gently removes the tape over the bandage and pulls it off my neck, then takes the alchole wipe and rubs the area clean. I wince at the burning sensation.

Mix gives me an apologetic smile. "Wait, how long have I been sleeping for?" I finally bring up the unforgotten question.

"3 days they all say in unison." I look at them, raising an eyebrow in surprise.

"Well, the wound looks good. Sorry about the scar," Dr. tells me, taking off his gloves.

"Would you like to stay tonight, Doc Mix?" Chay asks

"I wish I could, but Earth is waiting for me at Moonlight Chicken, says he has some new chicken recipes." Dr. Mix tells us, chuckling

"New recipe!! We will definitely come around." Yim exclaims happily, and Dr. Mix laughs at his behavior. He greets us all goodbye and takes his leave.

"What's a moonlight chicken?" NuNew question

"Famous restaurant in Pattaya runed by Dr. Mix's boyfriend" Nat tells him

I reply with an O-shaped mouth formation.

------------------------------

We sit in the small room, sharing stories, bringing joy into the atmosphere. The illuminating light dying outside. The chattering is disrupted by the sound of a ring. "Oh, look at the time we gotta head out for a mission," Yim says, checking his phone. James and Nat nod towards him in understanding. "Nu, stay here tonight; I promise you will be safe here," Nat reassures me before giving me a warm hug and taking his leave.

"Well, unfortunately, I have a meeting to attend and have to leave too," Chay says apologetically. NuNew smiles at him and tells him it's alright as he takes his leave.

The once noisy room filled with chatter takes on a deafening silence. The young man sits on the bed, looking towards the window. He sighs loudly and lays down, covering himself with the blanket and closing his eyes as he awaits the answers he desperately craves.
