“One”

Kam's POV

Do you believe in love at first sight? I didn't. Not until I met the one that made me freeze on my feet, made my lips and tongue speechless, my eyes sparkle, and my heart beat like crazy. Not to mention the time that stood still and all that mattered was him in front of me.

He's my angel.

Dressed in white.

His brown eyes, cute pinkish lips, and his dimples. God those dimples. How can he be looking so adorable? Oh yeah. Because he's an angel.

Our friends and family were all over the place, going in and out of two private rooms at the hospital at that time. My older brother P'Ram and his fated omega were admitted. P'Ram took blows from P'Boon's brothers after learning the secret relationship. P'Ram's and P'Boon's relationship.

P'Ram is an alpha and P'Boon is his fated omega. They're soul mates. Long story short, they had this secret rendezvous because our parents and P'Boon's parents separated them and didn't let them see each other.

Talk about Romeo and Juliet romance. Okay, Romeo and Jules. Is that about right?

I learned that P'Boon was bleeding and was brought here. P'Ram got punched by P'Ben, P'Boon's oldest brother. It was the second blow my brother took. The first one was from P'Brad, P'Boon's second brother. Damn, they could hit hard. My brother never looked that bad even after fighting with kids back in Washington.

So here we all are. Visiting the lovebirds. Everything would be cleared up soon. Hopefully.

As of the moment, I really wanna know what the angel's name is. He doesn't look old enough to be a resident here. Maybe a student in training.

I bumped into him earlier and I don't think I left an unforgettable impression. I could sigh a thousand times mentally but it wouldn't help me get over what I felt. My stupid heart just began to beat fast.

Ah...this isn't good. I'm only fifteen. But least I'm three years older than my brother when he first saw his fated mate. His first and last love. He calls him his Vanilla Strawberry. His.

Could you believe that? My troublemaker brother has become a lover stricken i***t.

Geez. Why am I making fun of my brother when here I am getting love struck by a angel in doctor's gown?

Now, how do I approach him? At fifteen, I really don't know how older guys or girls like to talk about. And my angel is older than me. If he works at the hospital, he's at least already in college, right?

Maybe I should think this through.

I was walking from my school one afternoon one day when my luck came to me again.

I spotted my angel.

I still don't know what his name is but I couldn't get him off my mind.

The angel is sitting inside a café talking to another person. A girl. The café is right across the street from where I was. I stayed and stood by the corner of an alley I was taking on the way home. I was like a creepy stalker staring at somebody, watching his every move.

Angel looks really handsome in white shirt rolled up to his elbows, and blue jeans. Must be his uniform in college. Ah...green tie. I'm too far to see the logo in it so I don't know which university he goes to.

Ugh.

Wait, he seems really close with her. Are they like dating or something?

No!

Please don't.

Please...

I felt my heart break when I saw the girl leaned forward to kiss my angel on the lips. I couldn't stare at them or even had the courage to see her lips touch my angel's mouth. So I walked away dejectedly, heavy steps on the concrete floor.

It hurts.

So, he does have a girlfriend. Argh! It sucks being young. Take that stupid empty can!

Ow!

I kicked the trash only for it fly back to me and hit my forehead. Could this get any better?

Rain suddenly began to pour...

Oh, geez!

Thanks a lot!

I don't have an umbrella. This is just perfect.

I was drenched in rain when I came home. My parents haven't arrived yet. I'm pretty sure P'Ram is either at P'Boon's house or betting in the stock market with P'Irene's friend. I don't know what that is but I know he's making money.

I envy my brother. He's got his life planned ahead of him. A fated lover, a source of income. We're only a year apart but I felt left out and way behind.

Maybe I should plan for my life, too. Ahead. So when I find my own lover someday, I would be proud of myself and not walk away like a poor puppy because I was too young to confess my feelings. And yeah, still living off my parents' money.

Angel seems established already. He's working at the hospital while going to college. Must be nice. Then he's got a girlfriend, too.

Ugh.

I feel pathetic right now.

"Ha-choo!"

"Khun Kam. Why are you still standing here in the garage with wet clothes. Give me your bag and go straight to your bathroom. Get a warm shower. You're gonna get sick, young man."

I raised my head and smiled at Mira, our helper. She called me, 'young man'. At least this day wasn't so bad.

Mira is like our second mother. And she had been there for me whenever I have troubles. School troubles. Because, yeah..my parents are always busy. So are my siblings with their own little businesses. School and love life businesses.

I smiled at my second mother and headed upstairs. I feel bad that she has to do more work because my stupid ass got drenched in rain and now I'm leaving drops of water on our floors.

I got in my bathroom and took a shower. When I came back out with a robe on, I sat on my couch and opened my phone.

I saved a stolen photo of my angel. Ah...I should really stop saying my because he belongs to someone already.

Same pain I felt earlier came to me and rose up to my chest. I tightened my jaws to hold back the tears that are about to escape my eyes. 'It hurts.'

My name is Kamon Jarupanivh. And this is the story of my first love and also my first broken heart. But don't worry. It doesn't end here.
