Third Person POV

"C'mon, you can do it, sweetheart," Jeff urged Game who had stopped halfway up the steps to the temple.

Game was panting hard, his mouth wide open, unmindful of the raindrops that were entering his mouth.

"It's only fifty steps more," Jeff tried to encourage his boyfriend.

"You mean, it's still fifty steps more," Game said, looking like he was ready to cry.

"C'mon, sweetheart, place your arm around my shoulder," Jeff said, placing an arm around Game's waist. "We'll do it according to your pace."

Resignedly, Game did as Jeff told him to do.

For those who might not know him, his name is Barcode Tinnasit Isarapongporn. He played the role of Porchay in the BL series KinnPorsche. He was the love interest of Kim, played by Jeff Satur in that series.

Barcode struggled with the umbrella he was holding to shield himself from the rain. The wind that accompanied the rain was making it hard for him to keep his grip on the handle of his navy blue umbrella.

He debated with himself whether to just fold it up and use it as a cane to go up the hundred steps that led to the entrance of the temple. Part of him was already wet anyway. The wind had been blowing the rain towards the left side of his legs and his pants were already soaking wet.

When one more strong gust almost made him lose his grip on his umbrella, Barcode gritted his teeth and folded it and used it as a cane to help himself up the steps. 

He was on the thirty fifth step. He still had a long way to go. Already he felt his energy leaving him.

"C'mon, sweetheart, you can do it" 

Barcode's heart caught in his throat. It was a familiar voice, a way too familiar voice. It was the voice of his one and only love of his life who had left him because he could no longer handle the constant criticism of people who thought that the ten year age gap between them was not a good thing.

Barcode had pleaded, with pitiful sobs, clutching at his chest that was starting to hurt because of the feeling of tightness but it was all to no avail. Jeff had decided to go back to his ex-boyfriend who was closer to his age.

Why did I have to chance upon them in a grim situation like this, Barcode asked himself, feeling the familiar sharp pain in his chest.

Even though the unrelenting rain kept soaking him to the bone, Barcode stayed motionless on the thirty fifth step, waiting for Jeff and his ex but now current boyfriend Game, to go up further and far away from him.

In fact, Barcode debated with himself on whether to go back to the bottom of the steps and let the floodwaters drown away his sorrow.

"No," Barcode told himself. He had never been a defeatist. He was going to brave the painful situation. He could always make sure to keep a good distance from the two lovers.

"Let's go, you're strong, you're a big boy," Barcode urged himself, after he saw Jeff and Game reach the top of the stairs and start making their way inside the temple.
