"Hah!! She looks younger and beautiful, unlike someone over here," he said with a smirk as he looked at me."That's because I take after our mom, and I'm stress free. A little bit of advice: it would be better to try new techniques when hitting on girls, because the one you just used? It's so outdated that even a middle school kid wouldn't use it," she replied coolly as she tapped their shoulders.
I laughed at them so much that they no longer wanted to go out with him. I told them it was fine — after all, it meant more girls for me."Aww! Wit buddy, you can't be taking what we said seriously? You know we always joke around, so you can't take that seriously," they said as they slid behind me and gently placed their hands on my shoulders, kneading slow, innocent circles.
"You can come with us but only if you promise to behave. I can't be seen with you gawking at every skirt that passes," she said, pointing at them as if giving a warning.
We went to the restaurant. Shortly after we arrived, someone called May from behind — it was P'May's friends. She went to say "Hi" to her friends, and when she came back, she asked if it was fine for them to join us.
Max and Khai agreed before I could say anything, and we moved to a bigger table.
As we were having dinner, one of P'May's friends asked me if I had a girlfriend."Nong Wit! Do you have a girlfriend?" she asked, smiling shyly, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear."I'm not into girls, and also I have a boyfriend," I said, smiling awkwardly at her, making May, Khai, and Max choke on their food. They all turned to look at me with shocked expressions.
She was so embarrassed that she made an excuse to go to the bathroom.
After dinner, the three of us went home to get some rest because the following day they had so many things to do. P'May and her friend went clubbing.
It was morning the following day when P'New phoned me to ask if I could take Kit to campus for him. Usually, he is the one who takes him to campus, but today he had to attend an early class.
I agreed — I would be foolish not to. After all, this benefits me. I could take this chance to score some points with Kit, paving the way for me to confess to him sooner than I thought it would take. I could take this opportunity to get to know Kit without him having suspicions. I could find out his likes and dislikes, his hobbies, strengths, and weaknesses.
I went to fetch Kit and found him still getting ready. Kit told me to make myself feel at home while he was still getting ready. And of course, I used it to my advantage — I sneaked around Kit's room searching for things he liked other than BL.
I found a family photo of Kit sitting on a sports car with P'New, and their parents standing beside him.[Wait! Why does he have a photo with them? What kind of question is this? It's understandable for him to have this picture — after all, he is very close to P'New, so it's normal that they treat him as their own son.] I thought to myself as I continued looking at the photo.
I was still looking at the photo when Kit walked in and bumped into me. When he saw me holding the photo, his face suddenly darkened."I might have said make yourself feel at home, but that doesn't mean you should touch my things without my permission," he said, taking the photo from my hands and placing it in a drawer."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to touch your things. I saw it lying down and thought to position it well," I said, trying to explain, but all I got was a 'whatever' look.
Kit finished getting ready, then we left. When we arrived at the campus, I dropped off Kit and went to park the car.
Lay and Som saw me when I was dropping him off. They couldn't believe that Kit had just come out of my car. They rushed to catch up with Kit. After they caught up, they started interrogating him.
He told them everything that happened — that I came and apologized to him last night, then today when he woke up, he found a message from P'New telling him he wouldn't be able to take him to campus because he had an early class, but he told Wit to take him.
"So how does it feel to be taken to campus by the most hot and popular boy who's also your crush?" Som said in a teasing tone."It wasn't the same as driving to campus with P'New. With P'New we could have a conversation, but with Wit it was very boring. He was so quiet, like one of those serious bus drivers. He didn't talk too much like when he's with his friends," he said, finding it hard to believe what he saw.
"Maybe it was because it was the first time driving with a cute boy like our cute baby here," she said, cupping my face with her hands.
While they were still talking, Kit got a message from P'New asking him to join them for lunch. When he was about to reply, Som grabbed his phone and saw the message.
"Can we also join? I love watching P'Pharm and P'New play lovey-dovey," she said, getting all dreamy."Umm! You can join, after we're besties. Where one goes, the two follow," he said as he reached out his hand to cup their faces.
They stood up, grabbed their bags, and went to class.
When they arrived, they found P'New waiting for Kit at the door. He asked if he had eaten."Aww! Phi, I did eat. You don't have to worry about me," he said, trying to look cool."How's P'Pharm doing? I miss him," he said, swinging his hands as he revealed his cute smile."I think you should ask him yourself," he said, pointing at Pharm.
Lay and Som started holding hands and screaming as soon as they saw P'Pharm. He was looking cute as always. They rushed to him and asked to take a picture with him.
If one didn't know their relationship with P'Pharm, they would have thought they were random fans excited to see their idol.
P'Pharm told them they had to get going because they had another class to attend.
