AUTHOR NOTES:

This storyline is from the Thai Series Friendzoned 2: Dangerous Zone. I'm not claiming nor owning the characters from the story nor the events that happened that may occur in this chapter as well.

DAISUKE POV:

A few months after dedeating Jonathan and saving the Shadow World, the anima did not bother me or my family.

"Since it is Saturday today, where would you want to go guys?" I asked them.

"Let's go the mall and watch a movie." Aqua suggested.

"What movie do you want to watch?" I asked.

"There is a new superhero movie showing. Let's watch that." Dale answered.

"Then it's settled. Let's prepare ourselves and we'll go there by 2pm." I said.

I grabbed my phone and opened my Line account.

"P'Wave, we are going to the movies." I chatted.

"Keep safe. I love you." P'Wave replied.

"I love you too P'Wave. Let's watch a movie when I visit you okay?" I replied.

We've prepared ourselves for the movies. Upon arriving at the cinema, we bought popcorn and drinks for the movies.

AQUA POV:

We are now on our way to the cinema and Uncle Dale insisted the he would be driving just to be safe in case that dad would be sucked by the anima again.

"We're here. I'll drop you guys off first and I'll find somewhere I could park the car and I'll meet you at the cinema." Uncle Dale said.

We went to the cinema. Dad grabbed the tickets while me and Cerulean grabbed snacks. Just after we've grabbed the snacks Uncle Dale arrived and all of us entered the movie house. We saw how Wonderwoman saved the day and everything and after the movie ended, the anima took dad away.

EARTH POV:

While I'm walking inside Siam Paragon I saw a familiar face standing lightheaded and as I approached him slowly he collapsed. I rushed to him and I'm right, he's my almost twin brother; Lok. I reached out and grabbed my phone and called P'Sam automatically.

"P'Sam. I'm at Siam Paragon. I need you ASAP. I'll share my exact location." I hurriedly said as he picked up his phone.

"What's happening? Are you okay Earth?" P'Sam asked.

"Just GET HERE NOW!! I'll explain later." I demanded.

AUTHOR POV:

"Just GET HERE NOW!! I'll explain later." Earth demanded.

After more than thirty minutes Sam arrived at Siam Paragon.

"What the hell is happening Earth and who is he? Why are you so worried about him?" Sam asked.

"Is he who I think he is?" Boom asked.

"You know him too Boom?" Sam asked.

"P'Sam can you please tell me he's okay?" Earth said while his tears are falling.

"P'-Ea-earth." Lok said.

"Just rest nong, I'll check your pulse." Sam said while he held Lok's wrist.

"He just needs to rest." Sam added.

"Now can someone explain to me what is happening and who is this guy?" Sam demanded answers.

"P'Sam, he is my almost twin brother." Earth stated.

"Almost? Do you have another lane excuse for this Earth?" Sam said sarcastically.

"I'm his half brother. We were almost twins because we were born a day apart but with different mothers." Lok added.

"Then why on earth do I not know him?" Sam asked.

"Because I'm our family's dirty old secret. One of the dirty laundries of dad." Lok replied.

"So if you are a secret then why does Boom recognise you.?" Sam asked.

"I just known him by accident P'Sam." Boom answered.

"I just caught them one time in Earth's room hugging each other and made a scene out of it." Boom added.

"Enough with the chatter, do we need to bring him to the hospital P'Sam?" Earth asked.

"What are you feeling right now, N'Lok?" Sam asked.

"I feel light-headed and drowsey probably because of the jetlag." Lok replied.

"I'm gonna drive you to the hospital. Let's go." Sam said as he assisted Earth in helping Lok stand.

LOK POV:

"I'm gonna drive you to the hospital. Let's go." P'Sam said as he assisted P'Earth in helping me stand.

We walked slowly to the pick up area while Boom drove P'Sam's wheels. A few minutes later we arrived at the nearest hospital to check on what really happened to me.

" Nothing serious happened to him based on the lab results." P'Sam said.

"That's good to hear." Boom said.

"What are you doing in Siam Paragon? Last time we've talked you are studying in Harvard." P'Earth asked.

"Well, for starters, mom died a month ago and the our house was elited by the bank so I'm practically homeless that's why I decided to go back here in Thailand to continue my studies and live on our ancetral house here in Bangkok." I replied.

"Then, the ancestral house here was sold to a family before we left without my knowledge. Now, I'm living in an apartment near the Paragon. I was about to do my groceries before I go to my part-time job. But I was not able to do my groceries and I'm tree hours late because I fainted. " I added.

"Wait, did I hear you correctly, Aunt Pang is dead? And the ancestral where we grew up was sold? " P' Earth clarified.

"That's a double yes for you P'Earth. Based from the lawyers we had before, our mom's sold it when dad died just a few months before we flew to the US." I answered.

"Wait, you've mentioned that your mom and Earth's mom sold the ancestral house without you guys knowing, right? Which ancestral house is it?" P'Sam asked.

"The ancestral house passed from one generation to another on the lineage of our moms'." P'Earth answered.

"Lineage of your moms'?" Boom asked.

"You've got it right, lineage of our moms'. Because my mom is the elder sister of P'Earth's mom." I replied.

"And that is the sole reason why he wouldn't drop the honorific with me even if I'm like his twin brother." P'Earth said.

"Yes you are my brother but you are still my older cousin so. Anyways, can I go now and attend to my shit?" I said.

"Apart from Boom, who else knows this secret?" P'Sam asked.

"I do." A familiar voice said.

"Ai'Tud. What are you doing here?" P'Earth asked.

"Boom messaged the gc that Lok is back and was rushed here, so I immediatly rushed here to check on my bitch-friend that I missed so damn much." Stud replied.

"How did you know about this, Stud?" P'Sam asked.

"Well, Lok is my best friend we don't kep any secrets from each other, right Lok?" Stud answered.

"Yup. That is the reason why Stud knows about my relationship with P'Earth, P'Sam." I added.

"Ok, You're good to go. I'll just prescribe vitamins to strengthen your immunity." P'Sam said.

"Let me drive you to your work." P'Earth offered.

"No, let me accompany him to work." Stud said.

"Let me go with Stud, P'Earth. We have a lot of catching up to do. And I hate to admit but I missed my slut-friend too." I added.

"Well, if you say so." P'Earth said.

"Is that jealousy on your face P'Earth?" I asked.

"What jealousy? What would I be jealous for?" P'Earth asked.

"Maybe because I chose to go with Stud instead of you?" I said.

"Well that makes sense. Earth is very possessive of you as I recon." Boom added.

"So you are still in love with him that's why you chose him over me, right?" P'Earth asked.

"Why are you so worked out about this? Is it just your possessiveness over your younger brother or because you are possessive of someone else?" I asked.

"You don't need to answer that question. I know you too well. I just needed to see your reaction and I know the answer. Well science should be correct that twins can feel each others' emotions." I added and grabbed Stud's arm and walked away.

"What are you pointing out?" Stud asked.

"Haven't you noticed how he looked at us when we've gotten cozy with each other?" I replied.

"He always looks at us like that." Stud said.

"Exactly, and that's the reason why he does not want me to go with you all the time." I added.

"What does it do to me?" Stud asked dumb-foundedly.

"Never mind. Just book a ride already." I said as I placed the address of my work on his app.

Stud repeatedly asked what I was talking about but I kept my mouth shut the rest of the drive to my work place.

"What time would you finish work?" Stud asked.

"Why'd you asked?" I asked back.

"I just want to pick you up later and treat you dinner and a lot of catching up to do." Stud replied.

"I'll be out from work by nine in the evening. Are you still free by that time?" I asked.

"Yes, I surely am available." Stud said.

"See you then?" I asked.

"I'm off now. See you later then." Stud answered.

I went inside my work place and Stud booked his ride as well. I don't know why I'm so excited to grab dinner with Stud later making me loose focus in doing my work.

"How much is this perfume?" A customer asked.

"Khun I'm asking how much is this perfume." The customer aised his voice.

"Just calm down Locker. Here let me talk to him." A familiar voice said.

"Khun, how much is this perfume?" The familiar voice asked.

"That wou-- BOYO!!!!!!" I said in full shock.

"Aw Ai'Lok what are you doing here? You're supposed to be in the US right?" Boyo asked.

"That was so last year Boyo. But kidding aside, I arrived in Bangkok three weeks ago and started living in a condo unit near here." I replied.

"Where is your mom?" Boyo asked again.

"Mom died five months back so I decided to go back here cause let us admit that the cost of living her in Bangkok is way more cheaper that in Massachusetts." I answered.

"So, are you not going to introduce me to this dashing lad with you?" I said attempting to change the subject of the conversation.

"Locker, this is Lok one of our college friends who had the chance to finish his studies I Harvard." Boyo said.

"But the odds was not in my favor. I'm on my seventh year of my medical school an this shit happened and I was forced to finish my studies here in Bangkok." I added.

"That's sad to hear." Boyo said.

"So, are you going to buy this perfume? That is 400 bhat." I said changing the topic again.

Boyo and Locker bought the perfume and left the store where I work part-time when suddenly Stud came just in time because its my end of shift.

"So how was your day?" Stud asked.

"Ai'Tud, stop acting like you're my boyfriend cause we both know that you are still in love with my brother." I answered irritated.

"Hey, why are you so worked out with my question? Don't tell me that you are still into me." Stud asked.

"If you're just gonna dig into our past back I might as well book my ride home." I answered.

"I was just setting up the mood for our catch up." Stud said.

"You know what, it is better if I just cook dinner for the both of us in my condo." I said.

Stud agreed with it and we booked our ride to my place.

"I thought you are broke? This condo is one of the most expensive bachelor's pad in Bangkok." Stud asked.

"Harvard actually refunded the scholarship and provided me a money to start over." I explained.

"So you are Harvard's charity case? " Stud asked.

"Nope. Mom worked as the head of Harvard's Guidance Office so they gave me the lumpsum amount for her death pension and provided me her full retirement benifits." I said.

"I have a savings account from the money I acquired from Harvard to start over and continue my Med school here." I continued.

"If you have your savings, then why are you still doing that part-time job?" Stud asked.

"If I would not spend wisely or if I would not do a part-time job, that savings I have would be gone in just a year or two since I already bought this condo." I replied.

"Just sit there and watch TV while I cook our dinner. Or if you want, you can take a shower first. The shower is in my room and you can use my clothes we have the same size." I continued while preparing the dishes.

Stud decided to take a shower while I am cooking his favorite Korean style scrambled egg and stir-fried rice. A few minutes later, Stud went out of my room wearing my favorite pair of pajamas.

""Why are you wearing those pajamas. Those are my favorite." I said irritated.

"This pair of pajamas is your favorite? I thought I recognise it. Is this the one I gave you as a present for the last birthday you had with us before flying to Massachusettes?" Stud asked.

"Yup, it is." I replied.

"Then why is this your favorite pair?" Stud questioned.

"Simply because it is from the person I love the most." I whispered.

"I heard that." Stud said as he placed his head on my shoulder and gave me a warm back hug.

"Stop whatever games you are playing right now Stud. We both know that you are still in love with my brother." I said.

"So cut the chase. If you want me to help you in getting P'Earth just tell it to me straight." I added.

"What the he'll are you talking about?" Stud asked.

"Yes, I decided to flirt with Earth because the person I really love is too far from me and he's too good for me." Stud continued.

"I have always loved you more than anything, Lok." Stud added.

"Then why didn't you make a move back then?" I asked.

"I was about to ask you out on your birthday before you went to Massachusetts but I seeked approval first from your brother and Earth said that that was your last day in Bangkok and ou would continue your studies in Harvard." Stud explained.

"I know that that was your dream and I don't want you to quit that scholarship because of me." Stud aded.

"But know that you are wrapped in my arms, what if I would ask you to date me? Would you agree?" Stud asked.

"I would love to, but I cannot." I answered.

"And why is that?" Stud asked. "I know something is going on between you and P'Earth. I feel that." I said.

"How can you say so?" I asked."That look on his eyes when you offered me a ride home and the look in his eyes as we left the hospital. It means a lot." I explained.

"But he is with P'Sam." Stud said.

"And you slept with P'Sam, right?" I asked.

"Who told you that?" Stud asked.

"P'Earth called me crying that day." I replied

"Lok.." Stud said.

"Don't use those cute eyes of yours. Just answer me, are you fucking my brother?" I asked.

"Yes." Stud answered.

"Then let me go." I said.

"The food is ready, let just set the table and you can go home after eating dinner." I added.

"At least please let me stay tonight." Stud asked.

"Then you'll sleep on the couch." I said.

"But yesterday would be the last night because I have you back now." Stud said while helping me set the table.

"You'll still sleep on the sofa." I said.

"If you say so." Stud replied and started eating.

"I surely missed the taste of your cooking." Stud added.

"Then eat up. I cooked a lot of it because I know you eat a lot." I said.

"I'll eat all of this and do the dishes after so you could rest. I know you had a stressful day at work earlier." Stud said while chewing his food.

"Okay. But first, finish what's in your mouth first before speaking." I said.

After finishing the meal Stud asked me to take a shower while he do the dishes and asked me to watch some movies before going to bed since both of us takes our day off every weekend. After taking a shower, I immediately went to the sala and sat beside Stud.

"What are we going to watch?" I asked.

"Just wait and see. I prepared something for our movie date." Stud said and played a movie.

"Are you not bored of watching that movie with me everytime? We like watched Love of Siam for a million times since freshmen year." I said.

"Nope. As long as I'm watching it with my best friend, it would not be boring. And besides, it resembles our story. Two best friends fell for each other." Stud replied.

After finishing Love of Siam, Stud played a few more movies. I did not notice that I already fell asleep.

STUD POV:

"So what movie do you wanna watch next? " I asked.

"Hey are you sleeping? " I asked again and suddenly his head fell into my lap confirming that he fell asleep already.

"You're always like this, falling asleep on my lap while we are watching a movie." I said as I caress his hair.

"Let me just finish this movie and I'll tuck you in your bed." I said.

"Done. Now let me carry you to bed. As always." I said as I turned the TV off and gently carry him to his bed.

"Stud."

Lok said while pulling me towards him as I tuck him to bed.

"what are yo doing Lok?" I asked.

"Didn't you say that I would sleep on the sofa? Ten why would you not let go?" I continued but instead of letting go, he decided to pull me harder and started kissing me.

"Stop." I said as I pushed him gently.

"You really don't like me do you?" Lok asked.

"No, I don't like you. I love you." I answered.

"Then why are you pushing me away?" Lok asked.

"I wanted this moment to be special and I don't want you to regret the thing you are doing." I said.

"Have you recalled me regretting any of my decision I made?" Lok asked.

"No, I cannot remember you regretting anything." I replied.

"Then kiss me." Lok said.

He kissed me again and I kissed him back. That night was the happiest night that ever happened to me. We did every position any couples do during love making and his room wa filled with happiness, content and love.

"So, what now?" I asked while we are cuddling after making love.

"What what?" Lok asked

"Since we slept together, would you date me now?" I asked.

"As long as you would promise me not to screw nor flirt nor date anyone else aside from me." Lok said.

"I promise." I said.

"Then we are dating now." Lok said and planted a kiss on my lips.

"Let's sleep now." Lok added.

The following morning, we received a text from Boom that she has a special announcement to make so she needs all of us.

"Are you going with me to see Boom and the others?" I asked.

"You go ahead, I'll buy some presents for them first." Lok said.

"Then, let me accompany you." I said.

"I will buy you some gifts too so it wouldn't be a surprise if you are there." Lok replied.

I left his condo and went to Boom's place and saw Boyo and Earth.

"Tor asked me to marry him and I said yes." Boom said in excitement.

"How did he propose?" Boyo asked.

"He asked me to go to their house and asked my hand in front of his family. Well it is not the romantic proposal I always wanted but it was sincere." Boom replied.

"Boyo has her N'Locker, I have Tor, and Earth has P'Sam. When would you be introducing us to a boyfriend so that you would not ess with others' boyfriends." Boom added.

"Actually I already have a boyfriend." I said.

"Who is the unlucky guy that you would eventually brake his heart? " Boom asked.

"Well you've met him before." Stud replied.

"Cut the chase and tell us who is he." Boyo demanded.

"Me. He is dating me." A familiar voice answered.

"Whaat are you playing this time Lok?" Eath asked.

"I'm not playing anything. I'm just answering Boyo's question P'Earth." Lok answered.

"When did you started dating then?" Earth asked.

"We settled things last night and decided to try." Stud replied.

"Well every man deserves a second chance if he really wants to change right?" Lok added.

"Well then, let's cheers to all the love we have." Boom said.

"Boyo can you organize our wedding?" Boom asked.

"Absolutely. I would love to do that for my friend." Boyo replied.

"There is a slight problem though." Boom said.

"Tor wants Good to help in the preparations as well since he and Good are good friends." Boom added.

"That is fine with me. We can work professionally." Boyo replied.

Author POV:

Few weeks past by and the wedding day came.

"Are we going to go to the wedding together?" Stud asked.

"I'm going to do a lasst minute wedding gift shopping. I'll meet you there." Lok Replied.

"Are you sure you don't want me to come with you?" Stud sked.

"I'll meet you at the wedding." Lok replied and planted a kiss on Stud's lips.

"I love you." Lok added.

The two parted ways, one went to the wedding and the other one went to the mall. While Lok was buying thing at the mall, a sudden explosion happened and he was rushed to the hospital critically wounded. The doctors cannot reach anybody on the contact list since all of them are at the wedding. Lok breathed his last while the doctor in charge clinged to Lok's phone hoping for someone to call.

"Where is he? The wedding ceremony and reception finished and he is still not here." Stud said.

"Did you guys fight?" Boyo asked.

"Even if they had a fight, Lok would show up on my wedding." Boom said,

"We did not fight. He said hat he would just do some last minute shopping for our wedding gift." Stud said.

"Look at this, a part of Siam Paragon was bombed." Bew said while showing the video of the explosion.

"I hope he's not there when the explosion happened." Stud said as Eaarth dropped his phone and tears welled down his cheeks.

"What happened Earth?" Sam asked.

"That was Lok's number. I called him because there are a lot of missed calls earlier." Earth said with cracking voice.

"Why are you crying Earth?" Stud asked.

"The person who answered the call was P'Ton." Earth said.

"Why does Ton have Lok's phone?" Sam asked.

"Beacause Lok was there when Siam Paragon exploded and...and" Earth just burst into tears and could not finish his sentence so Stud decided to call Lok.

"What? It can't be. P'Ton this is not laughing matter, where is Lok?" Stud asked.

"No! He can't be dead. We are going there to prove you wrong." Stud shouted and ended the call.

All of them rushed to the hospital and saw Lok's cold body covered in white cloth.

"Hey, stop fooling around babe." Stud said,.

"Babe we just started our journey together, stop this prank now." Stud continued as his voice cracks and tears fell.

"That's enough Tud. He's gone." Earth said while crying.

"How can you say that Earth? He is your twin. How can you accept that he's dead?" Stud yelled.

"You know how I loved my brother Tud, but would he like seeing us like this because of him?" Earth said.

"Would you think he would be happy seeing us miserable because of him?" Earth added.

"It is better to let him go. That would be the best for all us." Earth said.

"Both of you needs to rest. We will take care of him." Sam said.

"I'll take Stud home and Boom and Tor would look out for Earth." Boyo said..

"I'll help P'Sam with the paper works." Bew said.

"I'll check some places for the funeral to take place." Good said.

Everyone parted their ways to do the tasks they needed to do for the last remaining hours of Lok in this world. A few hours later, Al of the tasks are done. Lok's body was taken cared of and the funeral parlor is ready to receive guests for the wake. Three days past so quickly and they decided to cremate the body so that Earth could have his brother with him always.

DAISUKE POV:

I woke up beside my kids and prepared breakfast for the four of us. While waiting for the rice to be cooked, I grabbed my phone and chatted P'Wave.

"P'Wave, I'm back from another world again." I said.

"What happened? Are you okay?" P'Wave asked.

"I am. But I cannot go back to that world anymore." I replied.

"Why not?" P'Wave asked.

"Once I die in that time line, there is no going back. And I did die there." I replied.

"Thats a bad thing to hear. Just be careful okay? I don't wanna loose you permanently." P'Wave said.

"I will. I'll chat you after breakfast. I'm preparing the food and they are awake already." I said.

"Okay. I love you." P'Wave said.

"I love you too." I replied.
