I left the house to looked after Oreo and Fourth, while I was walking to find them I saw Fourth sitting on the bench of the playground around their village and talking to Oreo.

I couldn't help but adore them as I watching the two from a distance, I knew that Fourth could handle Oreo so he didn't approach him anymore.

Fourth's POV:

"Do you know that your Dada and I always play here every time we don't have school?" I said with a smile.

I added, "this is the bench we sit on, this is where your dada and I always rest when we are tired of playing."

"Is Dada clumsy to play?" Oreo asked hiccuping.

"of course, he always stumbles and falls here. That's why when we go back home, Auntie Nhai is always angry because he has a new wound on his knee." I made Oreo chuckled sightly,

"I also want to play here." Oreo replied.

"I'll play with you, so you don't feel alone."

I tried to entertain Oreo to get rid of the weight of his feelings, he is too young to feel this kind of situation. I felt sorry for Oreo because he doesn't deserve a broken family, he deserves the care of a mother.

Maybe that's why Oreo is mature enough to act and think because he has become aware of this reality, he also has feelings and the only thing he feels now is pain and hatred. I understand Oreo's feelings, no child wants to be left behind by a parent.

"I'll catch you when you slide down." I replied to him as I helped him climb the slide.

While he was running to the grill, I was waiting for him in the slip hole, I couldn't picture Oreo's face playing happily in the playground.

"Uncle Fourth, chase after me." he try to play with me.

"Be careful, I'll catch up with you." I chased after him.

I can't help but laugh at his pace because of his small steps, so I just keep up with him. As small as his steps are, so are my steps.

"so narak." I couldn't help but laugh.

"Uncle Fourth let's play hide and seek, I'm the one who it." Oreo's entertainment.

"Okay, I'm going to hide. Count to 10, don't peek." I answered him.

While he was counting, I started looking for a place to hide. I hid under the slides, after he counted I suddenly heard him scream.

When I came out from where I was hiding, I saw him on the ground and holding his knee. I immediately ran out of worry, I knelt down in front of him to check on him and he suddenly grabbed me.

"Boom." He tapped me,

"Oreo, you tricked me."

He giggled.

It was only then that I realized that was Oreo's strategy to get me to come out from where I was hiding.

"Oh my god Oreo. That didn't count, you cheated." I complain.

Oreo stood in front of me and hugged me, "it's okay uncle Fourth, at least I know that you care about me."

"Oreo."

"Thank you, uncle Fourth." his tiny voice when he tightened his hug on me.

I couldn't help but tear up for him as he hugged me very warmly, "Of course I care about you."

As we got back home, Oreo and I stopped at the door when we saw them in the living room waiting for us, and Oreo's mom was still there. They immediately stood up and stared at both of us, Gemini approached me and stood beside me.

"Aunt Nhai... Uncle Uen." I pay respect to Gemini's parents.

"Where have you been? We've been worried for aso long." Nhai asked Fourth worriedly.

"We went to the...

"I invited uncle Fourth to go to the play ground. grandma... please don't be mad at him." Oreo's tiny voice when he held my hand.

"I'm sorry if you were worried." Fourth apologized as he bowed to everyone.

"Oreo come here." Phuwin invited him with open arms.

Oreo immediately ran towards him and Gemini led me to sit in the living room with aunt and uncle.

"Uen and I have decided that Mook will temporarily live here at home so that Oreo can be with her." aunt Nhai announced.

"mom?" Phuwin's voice was shocked.

"Huh?!" Gemini was speechless.

"Mook has the right to meet Oreo, let's not refuse to give her that." Nhai replied.

"I disagree." Gemini answered."I agree." I answered politely.

They all looked at me with wondering expression, I don't know if I should continue speaking because I feel a little pressure but I just took all my courage.

"Fourth."

"I know I'm not in the position to interfere in P' Phuwin's family issue, but Oreo has the right to know his mom.

I know how much pain Oreo feels, and only his mom can heal it. She is the only one who can heal the pain she left Oreo with, so give her a chance." I explained clearly to them.

"Fourth has a point." Uncle Uen nodded to me.

I held onto Gemini's hands tightly and stared at him, he also stared at me but he looked disappointed with my answer.

When the sun went down, Gemini and I decided to go home because we had other things to take care of the next day. The two of them were walking down the stairs of the front of the house, when someone stop me by grabbing my hand.

Gemini got down to the car first, but I stopped and Mook speak up.

"Thank you for being on my side."

"I'm on Oreo's side. Not you and not P' Phuwin either. I was angry when I found out what you did to leave them both, but I chose Oreo's welfare more."

"Fourth, let's go!" Gemini shouted at me while standing in the car door.

I let go of Mook's hold on my hand and walked straight to the car. When I got into the car, Gemini drove straight away.

While Gemini was driving, he just focused on staring at the road and didn't even look at me. I tried to hold his hand that was holding the gear knob but he removed it and held the steering wheel.

"Gemini, is there something wrong again?" I asked.

He didn't pay attention to me, instead he sped up the drive.

"I'm sorry," I humbled myself.

"I know you're mad at Oreo's mom, and yes I'm mad too... but that's not the point. I did it because I wanted to make Oreo feel better about his mom, what I did was for Oreo, not for her mom."

"we're in the car, let's not talk about them." Gemini's voice sounded annoyed.

I waited for the two of us to get home, while we were walking into the house, I tried to convince him but he really didn't want to talk to me.

"Gemini. what do I need for you to talk to me properly?" I deal well.

I added, "I'll ask you if you're angry... you say no, when I talk to you... you ignore me. what do you want?"

"I want to rest." he answered me.

"Okay."

When we both arrived in the room, I hurriedly walked to the bed and took a pillow and extra blanket, he asked me but I ignored him and went straight out.

Gemini's POV:

Around midnight, I was staring at the ceiling and couldn't stop looking at the side of my bed because Fourth wasn't next to me. I was so bothered and restless that I left the room to look for him.

I was walking down the stairs when I saw Fourth sitting on the couch and using a laptop, I immediately went down and approached him in the living room.

"What are you doing here? Why aren't you going up to the bedroom?" I asked him, as I stood near him.

I just stared at him but he didn't pay attention to me, he was focused on looking at his laptop screen as if he was reading something.

"Fourth let's go to sleep." I tried to convince him, but he didn't respond.

I took the pillow and blanket next to him to invite him to sleep in the room, "Ai' Fourth, come on."

"I'm reviewing for the exam, you can rest if you want." his cold voice while focusing himself on the laptop.

"aw." I was speechless.

While I was watching his gentle appearance to wait for his response to me, he suddenly sobbed and wiped his eyes, because of my surprise and concern I asked him.

"Fourth, are you crying?"

"No." His pouting face.

"Fourth, I just asked you to sleep. Why are you crying?" My voice is soft.

Fourth's POV:

I couldn't stop crying as if Gemini was oppressing me, while I was reading I couldn't focus on the reviewer because my vision was blurred because of the accumulated tears in my eyes.

"I'm sorry, let's go nah." He grabbed my hand, but I moved away to avoid him.

"I'm just explaining from Oreo's side, why you're angry with me too. I talk to you properly but you don't answer me. When I ask you if you're angry, you say no, but your voice is cold." I blamed him when I made a pout face as if I was holding back tears.

Gemini stepped closer to me and held my head, he slowly bent down to reach my forehead with his lips and kissed me.

"I'm sorry, stop sulking."

"You should go upstairs and sleep. I'll do some more reviewing." I sobbed.

"Fotfot. let's go upstairs together, I want a cuddle." Gemini stubbornness.

Gemini folded my laptop and picked me up like newlyweds, I wrapped my hands around his neck, I even buried my face in Gemini's chest and wiped my teary eyes on his sleepwear as we walked towards the stairs .

When we got to the room, he slowly laid me down on the bed, he immediately put himself on the bed next to me and hugged me.

Gemini buried his face in my chest and wrapped his entire arm around my waist very tightly under the soft white blanket.

Author's POV:

The next day, Gemini decided to drop Fourth off at school before he went straight to work. While they were inside the car that was parked in the parking lot of Fourth's school campus, Fourth was busy reviewing next to Gemini.

After he reviewed, he decided to take care of his things to get out of the car, he couldn't help but be bothered because Gemini didn't want to let go of his hand.

"Ai' Gem, why are you playing with my hand!" Fourth's irritation.

"Text me right away after class so I can pick you up." Reminder of Gemini.

"Okay, be careful on driving." Fourth nodded at him.

When Fourth got out of the car, he walked straight away from the car, but Gemini suddenly honked his horn loudly to the point that even the passing student drew his attention to the car, Fourth immediately turned to the car and saw that the headlights were flashing.

He took a deep breath while staring at the car, he immediately walked back and got inside the car because he was too shy.

"What are you doing? why are you blowing your horn?!" Fourth's voice was stressed.

"I don't have a kiss yet." Gemini offered his cheek as if he was asking for a kiss.

"P' Gem." Fourth look so done with Gemini.

"I won't let you down." Gemini stubborness as he locked the car door.

"I'll be late for class, unlock the door!" Fourth's short-tempered.

Fourth tries to reach for the button to unlock the car door but Gemini's hand pulls it away, instead he brings his cheek close to Fourth but Fourth moves away.

"Gem." Fourth's gaze seriously.

Gemini stared at Fourth after calling him, "get you at a glance."

He immediately unlocked the car door because of his fear of Fourth's gaze, Fourth immediately opened the car to get out.

Before Fourth got out of the car he turned to him and sucked Gemini's lips for too long, Gemini was about to bite but Fourth stopped and got out of the car.

Fourth walked straight away from the car to go to his campus while Gemini was left inside the car with a flinch and his tempt with Fourth was left hang-in, maybe Gemini has cared away and forgotten that his husband still have to attend a class.

"Ohh Fourth!!You're really going to leave me here hanging in the temptation." Gemini's discouragement voice.

Gemini's POV:

When I arrived at the company, Ink welcomed me and accompanied me to the conference room. When I opened the office door, the CEO, board directors, executive managers, and Mint appeared.

I sat in the seat facing Mint, while our manager sat next to Mint. The directors and managers who were in the room talked to me because of the issue we had with Mint.

"Is it true that you are married?" The director question me.

"Khab." I responded quickly.

"Why didn't you tell us, I wish you had at least informed us so we wouldn't be surprised like this. by the way, that wasn't the point of the meeting."

"I'm so sorry." I apologize to all of them.

"Your fans are criticizing us now because they keep asking you two for a statement, the premiere of your series will be released tomorrow." clarification of the director.

"You will have a press conference for the premiere of the series together with the rest of the cast of your series, you will not say anything other than about the movie... when the media asks about the private matter of the two of you, do not answer less issue... let's respect Gemini's partner." suggestion of my manager.

"In this industry, I know that Gemini and I have a lot of supporters. If our fandom is destroyed, I'm sure GMM Entertainment will be criticized." Mint answered.

We all looked at him with a clueless expression because he couldn't explain what he said, "What do you mean?"

"I suggest... how about we act in front of the media that we are okay like what we did when we were together before." suggested by Mint.

"Mint." I disagree.

"Calm down Gemini, we can only act professionally... it's called 'fan service'. Do you think that the income and viewers of our series will increase if there is a conflict between us, I know that many fans will criticize the actions of the two of us if we're awkward around each other." Mint pointed out.

"Mint had a point. you should be the one who makes a way to strengthen the series, for the sake of the company and for the sake of thousands of your fans." The CEO quickly respond.

Gemini was speechless and just kept quiet even though he disagreed with the suggestions of the boards and executives, even Mint's suggestion, but he did nothing but let them.

Fourth's POV:

After the dismissal of their first subject, Fourth decided to go to the cafeteria to eat lunch. While I was eating alone at the table, The group of girl suddenly approach me and knocked over my plate.

"Aren't you Fourth from the law department?" her arrogant voice.

"Khab. I'm the student President of Law Department." I answered briefly as I put down the utensil I was holding.

She suddenly knocked over my plate and spilled all my food on my clothes and pants, I immediately stood up to avoid the food spilled on me.

"Hey!" I said in shock.

All the students eating inside the cafeteria looked at me because of my spilled food that caught their attention, I couldn't do anything but just hold my breath because she is a woman and I didn't want to hit her even though I was already annoyed with her.

"What is your fucking problem?" I calmly asked.

"You are the problem. Your face is so thick, why are you with Gemini at the airport?" She asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I wasn't the one with him at the airport, is that clear?" I deny it.

"Don't deny it, it's obvious that you're the one with him. What? After Mark, now it's Gemini? What a bullshit..." She smirked.

"What department are you in?"

"What is it to you?"

"I don't really care what department you're in, but is that what your professors teach? You're going to approach me to cause trouble, what an uneducated person. Don't bring your squatter behavior in high school to college, that's not a requirement here at the university." I blunt,

"Look who's talking." She raises her eyebrows.

That girl suddenly slapped me hard to the point that my face tilted due to the force of her palm.

She took my glass with water and I just closed my eyes when she was about to spill the water on me, after a few minutes I opened my eyes when I noticed that no water was spilled on me.

I was stunned when I saw Prom standing in front of me, he just let himself be drenched by the woman's spilled water to cover me.

"Prom."

"Are you done making trouble?" he glared at the girl.

"Not yet."

"This month is our graduation. You don't want to be expelled from school, do you?" Prom asked calmly, as he turned to the CCTV that was focused on them.

Prom reached out to Fourth's hand and held it, he pulled Fourth out of the cafeteria and left the girls, While Ford took Fourth's bag and followed the two.
