story under the cut
Part 2 >
Tumblr media
Khun lives a decent life, he has a good house, a good job with a good salary too. He lived alone in a small yet comfortable house, he can do his job at home though he still need to come to the office once in a while. But honestly he's starting to get bored with his daily life.
He had been thrown away from his family anyway, not that he's unhappy about it, because he's the one who ran away from them. He had no exact reason in his life, no family to return to, no friends to have fun with, no people to trust.
The world is grey as always, but he still keep on living.
Until one day, his life changed.
 ----------
 It's a cold rainy day, Khun just got out from his office and on his way home. The rain is pouring outside and he thought it's not really wise to go with public transportation because he didn't trust the driver, so he walked home with his small umbrella.
In the narrow alleyway he accidentally saw a boy with a messy long brown hair, curling himself under a small roof so he won't be soaked by the rain nor cold by the wind, even though it's rather a useless gesture.
It's on that brief moment Khun saw himself, a long time ago when he ran away from his home. He unconsciously approached the boy and brought the umbrella closer to him but immediately regretted it as he realized what he's doing.

There's no coming back now, it'll be weird if he leave without saying anything right?. He asked the boy, "Are you lost?". The boy seem hesitant and scared, he curled on himself more and slightly moved away from him. "I'm Khun, what's your name?", somehow he's getting softer because he kept seeing the figure in front of him as his past self, 'why am I like this?!', he blamed himself and sighed internally.
The boy remained silent so he asked again, "where's your parents?", the boy looked away with a. . .sad eyes? Or maybe a confused look?, he wasn't sure. "want me to take you to the police station? They might be able to help you", the boy winced on the word 'police' and immediately shook his head then moved slightly away again. To be honest Khun didn't trust them too but what else can he do? Oh yeah there's one.
"how about I take you home with me?", Khun said without thinking, and regretted it again after he realized the words already came out from his mouth, he facepalmed internally. Suddenly a lightning struck followed by rumbles, and it reminded him again on the day he ran away, the day when the rain poured heavily and lightnings strucked like a world war, the wind didn't help either as it made his wet clothes even more colder in a chilly night.
"I guess a storm will come soon and it'll be really cold outside", he thought out loud. Even though Khun was a bit reluctant to help, he still has a sense of humanity left in him, "you can come home with me, if that's alright with you of course", he offered, 'well, as long as you didn't make any trouble', he thought to himself.
The boy looked up to him and Khun saw a 'yes I want to, but I don't want to bother you' look on his golden eyes. His heart skipped a beat when he saw the pleading stare the boy gave him, how could he resist that look? maybe a change in his life won't be so bad, "it's okay with me", and after a few moments the boy nodded reluctantly.
They both walked in silence, Khun didn't dare to touch the boy yet cause he seems really wary along the way. Meanwhile the boy didn't seem to notice that Khun slightly tilted his small umbrella towards him so he won't get soaked more than he already was. Khun didn't mind his clothes got soaked anyway, he already expecting it since the time he decided to walk instead of taking public transportation.
When they got home, Khun immediately go for the towels and back to where the boy was waiting. Khun put a towel on the chair and gave another one to the boy and then pointed at the said chair, "stay there and warm yourself first, I'll take a bath real quick", he immediately went to the bathroom.
The boy just kept the towel on his hands, didn't dare to do anything with it. Honestly he doesn't really know what to do, having no one to teach him anything. He only understand the basic everyday words that he learned himself by experience and he still can't spoke fluently because he rarely talks.
After Khun finished, he approached the boy with a new towel on his hand, he noted the still dry towel that he gave the boy earlier but didn't make any comment about it. "it's your turn, I've prepared a warm bath", Khun guide him to the bathroom and the boy gingerly took a step in, still feeling awkward. "can you do it yourself?", he asked just to be sure, the boy nodded after a few seconds, the response was less convincing but Khun didn't push it. "take your time, just yell if you need me", though he had a feeling he won't do that even if something happened, he seems to be the quiet type.
The boy closed the door and approached the bathtub filled with warm water, he stood there for a while. He never had a warm bath before, is this really okay?, he touched the water surface with his fingers, just imagining in it must feels really good, does he deserve this?, he turned his head towards the door and back to the tub before he finally started taking a bath.
Meanwhile, Khun felt like he was forgotten something, what is it exactly? Ah yes, clothes, how could he missed that. It's already dark outside and the rain doesn't seem like it was going to stop anytime soon, he certainly didn't have anything that fits for the boy nor he would let the boy wear that soaked dirty clothes again before he washed it. He had no choice but to search in his wardrobe.
Khun found a dark blue T-shirt and a black shorts that barely fit him anymore, it's the smallest one that he had. He then went to the bathroom and knocked twice, "hey, I brought you some clothes, it might be too big but at least it's better than the wet one, I'll put it here near the door", and then he went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
He took a few pieces of spiced chicken fillets from the refrigerator, dip it in the egg and flour then fried it. He took three pieces of bread, one for the boy and two for himself, smear them with butter and toasted it. After the chickens are ready, he cooked the egg that he used earlier into omelets.
At that time the boy had finished taking a bath, he smelled something delicious and followed it into the kitchen. He approached Khun slowly, curious what and how something can smell like that, but he still keep a distance between them.

After everything is finished, Khun stack the bread, vegetables, omelette, ketchup and fried chicken to makes two sandwiches. When he turned around to put them on the table, he saw the boy with the oversized clothes that he gave, Khun smiled, "that clothes sure are quite big compared to you", the boy just smiled shyly and looked away.
Khun put the plates on the table, "here, you must be hungry, I made sandwiches". They gathered around the table, Khun sat on the floor and told the boy to sit on the cushion. The boy kinda hesitant at first but relented, so then they ate. It's the first meal after weeks or even a month for the boy that could make his stomach full again, he really thankful for that. His happiness is radiating and Khun somehow felt happy too.
"come on, let's fix your hair", Khun said after they finished their dinner. He put the dirty clothes at the washing machine first before they went to his room. They sat on the bed edge near the window, Khun took a comb and started combing the boy's hair.

"hey, are you okay if we talk about it again now?", a hesitant nod. "so, what's your name?", the boy kept silent.
'maybe he won't talk about it or. . .', Khun thought. "well then, if you didn't feel like talking just answer me with yes or no", the boy nods, 'okay'.
Khun thought for a moment, "do yo have a home?", a moment of silence then a no. 'homeless?', he then asked one more time with a different question just to make sure, "do you have any place to return to?", no. 'hm? were you like that all this time?', he doesn't know what to feel, "do you know where your parents are?", a shrug and a no. 'he doesn't know?', Khun felt a strange connection between them, being homeless and has no family. 'this boy really is troublesome', he thought, he must've been through a lot more than himself on this age.
Anyways, Khun just realized he hadn't heard any words from him, "can you speak?", yes. 'oh good at least he's not muted', it'll be more troublesome if he can't. "how old are you?", the boy shrugged, but by his look, Khun assumed he's around five or six.
There's still a thing that he wanted to ask since the beginning, "do you have a name?", Khun asked for the third time, the boy answered with a no and Khun internally facepalmed. He decided not to push on 'why', considering that he haven't spoke yet, "okay then, do you have something in mind or. . .?", the boy pointed at Khun and he sighed, "so you wanted me to give you?", the boy nods.
"well, let me think of something", he began searching for an inspiration while combing. He looked at the window; 'moon, stars, rain, storm, cloud, night', he noted. Then he looked back at the hair he's combing; 'soft, long, brown', and suddenly a word crossed his mind.
"how about 'Bam'?, It means night. Unlike the day who only has a sun, there's a moon and lots of stars to keep the night company, I hope you'll find yours too one day", Khun silently cringed but he continued, "Though 'Bam' can also means chestnut, it's brown just like your hair".
The boy look up to him, his golden eyes shining with satisfied look, he nods with a big smile on his lips. "B-bham", he said with a beaming smile.
'W-what is this feeling?!', he's confused, that smile, just by looking at him smiling could warm his heart and just by hearing him said that made him really proud.  Khun never felt this way before, this all still new to him. 'Why did I became like this all of the sudden?', Khun was confused with his own feelings.
It's weird, really, he never been interested in children before because they're loud, annoying, fussy and complicated, heck he never even thought of having one. But this boy, Bam, he's the type of child that somehow he couldn't hate, he was the opposite of what he always thought. He doesn't want him to experience the same thing like he did. He's getting soft and honestly he didn't like it, but still, he smiled, "glad you like it, Bam".
"Bam", he repeated one more time and giggled when he said it right. It's a cold rainy day but strangely, they felt warm.
After Khun finished combing Bam's hair, they brushed their teeth -luckily Khun has a spare toothbrush-, then they're getting ready to sleep, but the bed obviously can't fit for both of them.
"you can use my bed, just for tonight", Khun suggested. Bam shook his head then went to the dining room and back with the cushion he used earlier. He showed it to khun then put the cushion on the floor near Khun's bed.
"but-", Khun tried to argue but Bam shook his head again, "you sure?", Bam nodded with determination. Khun gave up and sighed, "okay fine, let see if I can find some blanket for you".
Khun found two small but thick blankets, though its sizes should be enough to cover Bam. He arranged the blankets and cushion into a temporary bed. And they're ready to sleep.
It's a long night, hours passed but Khun can't fall asleep. Several minutes later he heard a whisper, it's from Bam.
"ar hyu, ah-sleep?", Bam whispered slowly as not to wake him up.
"yes", he joked but Bam fell for it, "just kidding", Khun shifted his position so he could see him.
"tank yhu", he whispered shyly, avoiding his gaze.
"you're welcome", Khun whispered back and closed his eyes. There's that warm feeling again, blooming in his chest.
They slept shortly afterwards.
