While Chris was on his way.. He couldn't help but think that he didn't want to go back home to see his brother in that condition.. So he sat on a bench infront of their cafe after letting his brother know about his presence. He sat down and started thinking about what he could possibly do. Later another man joined him. The man looked older and was most definitely drunk. The man asked for permission to sit next to him which he accepted. "What's up champ? You're here alone?" The man asked. 'I'm 19, taekwondo black belt, can easily take down a man who's drunk.' Chris sassily replied. "Oh don't worry.. Kid I'm not  a pedo nor am I a human trafficker." The man said laughing a little. Chris decided to ignore the man and just leave. He was about to leave when he was stopped by the man grabbing his wrist. Chris was on guard so he twisted the man's wrist, made him lay on the ground and sat on him, trying to limit his movement. "God damn you fucking teenagers." 'What do you want.' Chris asked. "i just thought I've seen you somewhere..." The man said. 'okay? That doesn't give you a reason to talk to me?' "Aren't you Chris?" The man asked. Chris let go of the man and tried to remember him. "You work at that cafe or something." 'Oh you're the guy who used the restroom.' Chris remembered.. He suddenly remembered that after his conversation with James, James started beating his brother, Xem {ks-em} (nicknamed Em). 'Right, right.. Uh.. I'm Xem's brother.' Chris said but the man looked at him in confusion. "Xem?" 'Uhh the owner of the cafe?' "His name is Xem..?" 'Uh.. yea?' "Oh" 'If you don't mind.. You talked to James uh the other man in the house, didn't you?' "Oh Xem's boyfriend?" 'Yes' Chris said, gritting his teeth. "Oh yea I did" 'If you don't mind.. can you tell me what you told me?' Chris asked. "Of course you have the right to know how slutty your manager is" Chris tightened his fist in anger. "Your manager cheated on his boyfriend with me, he didn't even tell me he had a boyfriend and had the audacity to act like an asshole with his boyfriend. Now don't be disgusted with your" The man was cut off by a punch.  "What the fuck dude??" The man said as he stumbled back a few steps and due to being drunk he fell. 'BECAUSE OF YOU.. BECAUSE OF YOUR ASS MY BROTHER HAD TO SUFFER.. YOU FUCKER..' Chris screamed and started punching the man. The man started coughing blood and pushed the boy off of him with the  remaining power. The boy again came towards him. 'This is not even half the pain my brother went through because of you, mother fucker.' The boy grabbed that man's hair. They were separated by his own brother. A very weak Xem slapped Chris. 'Are you crazy?! What are you doing??' Xem weakly shouted at his younger brother. 'Em.. Get out of this I'm going to kill this man.' Chris said in anger. 'Ris are you crazy?!' Xem screamed again. 'I AM I FUCKING AM I CAN'T FUCKING SEE YOU FUCKING STRUGGLING BECAUSE OF ME.' Chris said, going towards the man, kicking him in his stomach. 'CHRIS!' Xem pushed Chris away. 'STOP HURTING HIM. IT'S NOT HIS FAULT.' 'HE FUCKING TOLD THAT BITCH THAT YOU CHEATED ON HIM AND YOU'RE HELPING THIS SHIT?!' Chris shouted back. 'Chris.. calm down. Please..' Xem weakly said trying to calm Chris down. Xem went towards the man and helped him up but due to his own weakness he fell down. Chris ran towards him 'Ris.. Help him too.. please.' Xem said before fainting.

The man woke up, covered in bandages, in an unfamiliar room but with a familiar voice. 'Good morning.' The man looked from where the voice came and saw a familiar face. "YOU?! Where am I?!" The man said. Xem ran towards him to shut him up. He put his hand on the man's mouth. 'Tone it down, would you?' "Why is your boyfriend gonna hear us?" 'You're in my room.. Do you even remember anything that happened yesterday?' "Why did you use me to cheat on your boyfriend again?" 'Em.. It's time to open the caf' Chris entered the room but cut off when he saw that all the wounds on the man from yesterday had been taken care of. 'You took care of his wounds?' Chris asked. 'Chris. Either leave or shut up and sit down and don't make noise.' Xem ordered, which Chris obeyed after rolling his eyes. "So is anybody going to tell me what the fuck happened to me? And why the fuck am I in your room." The man asked. 'I'm sorry for your this condition.. my brother kind of lost himself and fought you.. So I brought you here to treat your wounds.' Xem answered with a smile. "Uh.. Is your brother this illiterate to fight people he doesn't even know?" The man taunted. 'Oh I'll show you how illiterate I can be.' Chris sassed back. 'Chris.' Xem stopped him. 'I'm sorry.' He added. 'Whatever.. Is that it or did you do something else?' The man said in a taunting voice. 'You should be happy my brother is stupid enough to fucking treat your wounds after what you did to him.' Chris said, receiving a death glare from his brother. "Your brother is the cheater, okay? Instead of treating me like a villain teach your brother how to stay loyal." The man said again. 'Em get this bitch out of this place before I actually kill him.' Chris said in anger. "If you think I wanna stay in a house with a cheater and an illiterate, I don't." The man said as he grabbed his clothes and left.

'Chris what the fuck' Xem said in frustration. 'What? Did you not see how he was talking to you or are your ears not functioning properly when it comes to him?' Chris said. 'Chris. I'm your older brother. If you can't respect me, don't fucking speak like that. Leave now.' Xem said in anger and Chris obeyed in anger too.

Xem started taking care of the cafe, wishing James wouldn't join them today but to his bad luck, James did join them. "Hello baby" James back hugged him. 'Your coffee will be there in a second. Thank you very much.' James smirked and pressed the cigarette burn on the boy's neck. The boy hissed and moaned in pain. Soon another familiar face joined them. "Hi can I get a black coffee?" The man said. 'Yes.. the name?' The boy receiving the order asked with a smile. "Do whatever." The man said.. As much he hated the other boy he couldn't help but want the coffee the boy made as it was very delicious and was prepared exactly how he liked. He was surprised to notice the boy's boyfriend beside him as he thought that they must've broken up. But he shrugged it off and went to sit on the corner seat, again. He couldn't help but notice the body language of the tiny man when he was with his boyfriend. He seemed uncomfortable and in pain, whenever his boyfriend touched his back or put his arms around the boy's neck. He again shrugged it off and waited for his drink.

When he was served the drink he saw the name which again said sorry but this time with a smiley face. He grabbed the coffee and looked at the uncomfortable male to notice some wounds on the boy's face along with some poorly hidden burns on the boy's neck but he shrugged them off and paid for the coffee before leaving
