Every computer engineering student have to do a compulsory 3 months Internship in some company during our forth year . I choose KSL LTD. A very popular software company for my internship.

when we go to a new place and meet new people , the first thing we do is search for a familiar face . It's not possible to measure the relief and happiness you get when you spot a familiar face in an unfamiliar environment . During my introduction , I spotted a familiar face. Someone whom I have been avoiding for a year.

- These are our 2 interns . Kongpop suthiluck and Arthit Rojnapat. Please take care of them .

P Dan , the HR manager introduced us both to the staffs. After taking a small round inside the company and meeting the department heads , we were given a short break.

Sitting across in the canteen and sipping our respective drinks , there was an uncomfortable silence lingering in between us.

- hey

- hey.

And that was the beginning. After few days , we were back to how we used to be one year back. Laughing and teasing together . Gosh.. I missed him so much.

Our three months internship program almost reached the end . On our final day we planned to go out for a dinner. " Let's treat ourselves to for successfully completing our internship. We do deserve a plate of rare steak and a glass of red wine. Plus there is a mini surprise for you ". That was what mr so called handsome intern - I mean kongpop said. Handsome intern is his nickname in our company.

It was at night 8 that we planned to have our dinner in an American restaurant.

Knowing that I have more than 2 hours before our said time , I entered the Archie's store to find something to gift Rome. His birthday is coming soon. Archie's is one of the best stores where you can find cards and gifts for your best friends or lovers. As I was wandering in the gifts section looking at one after the other push toys , I heard a loud laughing sound. Turning to the side from where the sound came from , i saw two guys laughing at some cards. I couldn't see there faces but still Even a blind one can tell they are a lovely couple. After choosing a white wolf push toy , I went to pay for it. While waiting for the sales person to ring the bill , I simply looked inside the store again. But this time I was able to see the face of the couple who was just laughing so loadly before. When those 2 had a happy face , mine was shocked one. The couple was none other than Kong and nong Ohm.

They.. they are a couple ? But Kong told me nothing was going on between them.

I left the store immediately not even turning back when the salesperson was calling me from behind telling me to collect the toy.

I don't know what was the feeling that was clouding my mind at that time. Was it the feeling of betrayal or was it just simple anger that he hid it from me. I know only one thing.... It hurts... Not physically but still... It hurts a lot.

By the time I reached my car , I felt tears rolling down my eyes. Why the heck was I crying.?

On the way back home , I texted Kong telling to cancel our dinner . He gave me a call as soon I texted. Rejecting his call I turned off my phone . Right now , I don't want to deal with him.

I spend that night wetting my pillow with my tears .

Next time I met him , I was back to how I was 3 months before. I avoided him. Kong and Rome tried approaching me . Let's not forget Mr Bright too. Tho I replied to Rome and Bright at times, I avoided Kong like a plague .

When ever I see kong , the scene in Archie's come in front of me . Nong ohm and him being lovey dovey . When that scene appears , it results in me getting angry .

I can't waste time on him. Or any weird feeling . After all our final exams are coming in 2 weeks . After that my University life will be completed.

Exams .. marks ... Job... These should be only your thoughts Arthit ... I said myself many times a day that.

I am good at playing hide and seek. Right now I hide , they seek me. It was until our last exam was completed and when we were saying our goodbyes that they found me.

As soon as Rome spotted me , he dragged me to an empty room .

- enough is enough Arthit , what the hell are you trying to do . What happened . Why are you trying to avoid us especially Kong . I thought you were back to friends during your internship.

- I- I didn't try to avoid you guys. I was just trying to stu - ya study for my exams . You know I always isolate myself when our exams are near .

- cut the bullshit Arthit. Tell me the truth . why you were avoiding us.

Gosh ... This guy knows me too well.

- I don't want either you or Bright trying to force me to talk with Kong. I - I just want to avoid him . He .. he .. just.. I want to avoid him Rome. Especially after that

- After what .

As much I want to avoid this topic , I know Rome won't leave me unless I tell him the truth .... And which I did .

I told him about our planned dinner and what happen in Archie's...

- .......he.. when I see him , I get some weird feeling. It makes me hurt a lot.. it angers me a lot.

- why do you feel weird when he in a relationship with someone else. Why doesit matter to you ?After all didn't you reject him before.

- I don't know.

- OMG...... you are just just impossible Arthit ... If you would have set your ego down atleast once. I wouldn't have need to see 2 of my friends walking around like zombies.

- two of them ?

- Ofcourse you and Kong. He was also a walking zombie just like you. He was hurting more than you you know.

- why should he be hurt. Am just a friend right . Or did he break up with ohm.

- first of all. Ohm and Kong didn't break up. How can they when there is nothing in between them. Ohm is Kongs cousin P Toey's fiancee. Ohm and Kong are like brothers . If you would have asked us or Kong instead of believing in those fake rumors , you would have known the truth. Secondly Kong never saw you as just a friend. During our first year itself I knew he has a special feeling for you. Knowing your ego and your family background , I was the one who told him not to propose you until our engineering is over. But he being not able to control his feelings , he proposed to you which you naturally rejected . You have no idea how much he was hurting from that rejection. Later he told me that he won't give up on you and that he wait until you are ready . thirdly........ What you saw in Archie's was a complete misunderstandings. Kong was helping ohm choose a card for ohms and p Toey's 2nd anniversary. Just because you saw an alpha and Omega together In a gift shop and talking and laughing , how can you assume things like they are a couple . Kong was above the moon when he mentioned to us you agreed for a dinner with him. He was planning to surprise you by introducing ohm and p Toey to you. Kong knew you were a big fan of P Toey's paintings . You cancelled the dinner without any reason. When he couldn't contact you later he got scared thinking something happen to you or in the family. I tried calling you too but you didn't pick even mine . And next day onwards you started avoiding him again . You neither gave any of us a chance to ask or tell anything. I really wanted to hit your head hard for your behavior but Kong stopped me. He thought he did something wrong. It took Bright and me all the efforts not to let him slip into depression. He loves you so much Arthit. But your ego blinded and insecurities blocked you. He was planning to propose to you on the last day of our exam. That is today. He was planning to first ask your mother for the permission to court you . But your attitude during last few weeks made him drop his plans. He felt indirectly rejected. And lastly.. you oblivious idiot . The weird feeling you felt when you saw Kong and ohm happy together is called jealous. Pure jealousy is what you was feeling. I don't know when or how but I am sure you started having some feeling for him too. That is why you felt jealous.

To tell I was shocked would be an understatement of the year. I was completely trembled to the core that I fell down as soon as Rome finished telling me the truth .

My ego... My misunderstandings ... My foolishness... My denying.... My obliviousness....

Hugging rome tightly I kept crying. Maybe it was due to exam stress or crying , I fainted . When I woke up I was in a hospital bed . Rome and my mother were beside me. Mom rushed to call the doctor seeing me waking up.

- you fainted while crying. Me and Bright rushed you here . I called your mother on the way to hospital. She didn't stop crying until the doctor assured you were completely fine and you only fainted due to stress . She .......................................

In what he was saying ... Only few sentences registered in my mind ."kong doesn't know you fainted . Anyways he left to US yesterday night. Both his parents are there . He is planning to settle there ."

If he would have proposed me now. I would have accepted him whole heartedly. But due to my stuburness he didn't get a chance to propose nor i didn't get a chance to convey my feeling .

Unknowingly.... I rejected him even before he proposed me.....

I regret being stubborn ... I regret avoiding him... I regret choosing my brain over my heart .... And I regret for not being confident..

I topped my batch and I got my dream job. By still I wasn't happy. All what i thought was my happiness was not the real happiness i wanted . It took mr a loss of my beloved one to understand that.

I have met Bright few times in the last five years. We rarely talked about Kong. I was sure Bright and Rome contacts Kong often. I wanted to ask about Kong but i didn't know what stopped me from it. Even tho i don't have kongs new number , I could have easily connected with him through social media. Each time I gain confidence to message him , i loose it soon.

In between the meetings , once I heard Bright mentioning that Kong started dating someone. Even Kongs IG post showed he was in a relationship. But this time when I saw the couple photos. I was able to name the emotion that was rolling in me. Jealous. I was jealous of the Omega who is with my alpha. When I heard that they broke up. I was having an internal celebration. Kong is single. My alpha is free.

But will i Ever take this opportunity and try contacting him?

Will i ever try to convey my feelings to him ?

Will he accept me ?

How long will I resist the wedding proposal my uncle is forcing on me ?

I couldn't help but longingly stare at his profile. My Kong. I regret rejecting you. 5 years of waiting... How long should I wait ?

A click... A short message was enough. But I couldn't do it.

Kong ... I love you. I really love you.... I admit I have deeply fallen for you.

Am i too late ?

*----*------------------*----------------*-----*

Is he too late.?

I don't know.

But I know am too late for updating.

Hope you like this chapter.

Don't hate Arthit too much. He is not the first or last person with this level of ego and high insecurities.

Wait for the twist and turns to come.
