[11. Daw-Dae]
"Dae..how are you going home?" Phet asked Dae as they walked out of the class after the last hour."Oh god ! I forgot..what will I do now ?" Dae suddenly remembered that he has no money left in his hands to pay for the bus fair back home."What Dae ?" Phet asked slightly panicked"Phet..can you do me a help?""Oh okay..what?"" I know, I troubled you a lot today, but...I have no other way. Phet, can you please lend me some money ? I don't have any money left in my hands to pay for bus. It's far and It's not possible to walk. Moreover I don't know the way. I will tomorrow give you back the money. " Dae said a bit ashamed even though there was nothing to be ashamed since Phet now knows everything about me."Oh..Dae..It's okay. You actually scared me. I have car. I will drop you at your home."" oh..! You have license ?"" Yeah..c'mon. " Phet said with a smile. Dae wondered why Phet was doing all this for him. He was pulling Phet into trouble since morning. Now he just asked for a little money and Phet is ready to give him a ride back home in his car."Phet...Why are you so nice to me ?" Dae asked whilst walking." Oh..what ?" Phet asked turning his head to look at Dae." Nobody has behaved this nice to me. I don't know how to thank you. You are taking a lot of trouble for me. Phet..I am really sorr.." Dae was cut in middle by Phet."Dae..don't say that again and you don't need to thank me. We are friends, right? Friends are meant to help each other. So shut your pretty mouth now." He said and Dae felt his cheeks heat up. He actually thinks I am pretty? But Aru always calls me ugly.They walked to the parking lot and then they saw Aroon and his friend oak, the one who poured sauce on Phet's head, going to Aroon's Rollsroyce. The oak guy seemed to be his best friend."Phet..Let's not go there now. Let them go first. I don't want him to see us together." Dae said and Phet nodded. They moved away from their sight and hid behind a tree watching them."Dae..I really hate that Aroon and also that guy. I heard his name is oak. I really hate him. How dare he pour tomato sauce over my head. I feel like punching him right now. If he does that once more, I swear I will kill him.""Phet..calm down. Don't dare to do anything to them. Don't forget they are third year engineering students. You will have to see them again."" I don't give a fuck ! I don't care if they are gonna be my seniors. I am not afraid of them."" Phet, they are a powerful gang. They can hurt us and moreover I will have to suffer a lot at home.""Don't worry Dae..I won't do anything. I don't want to get you hurt. I was so angry...But if they again try to bully you or hurt you..then I will be the one complaining about them to principal" He said."Okay Phet..but let's try our best to keep us away from their sight, okay ?" Dae asked with big doe eyes."Oh Dae..don't look at me like that. Ahh that Korean eyes, Damn ! I wonder how that Aroon can hurt you looking at you face." Phet said and Dae blushed a shade of pink. Phet smiled seeing that. " Okay, hmm..I agree. Actually I don't like that idea. But anyway I will do it for you.""Ok Phet, why are we still hiding here? They have already gone." Dae said smiling." Okay..C'mon." Phet said and grabbed his hands, walking to a silver hyundai genesis car parked among the cars in the students parking lot. The car looked grant new.Both of them hopped into the car and Phet turned the key in the ignition, starting the engine.
" Is this your new car ? What about that Mercedes?", Dae asked buckling the seat belt.
" That was my Dad's car.", Phet smiled. " And yeah this is my new car. Dad just bought me this last week."
" oh..I see. That man with you on the admission day was your driver ?" Dae then asked." Yeah. My Dad had work that day. But he was afraid to send me alone. So he send me with his driver."" What's your Dad doing ?" Dae asked." He is an Engineer. Dae, have you heard of Mitsubishi electrics ?”“ Yeah..I have heard. I have heard Dad talking about that company once. Why you asked ?” “ Hmm..yeah..My Dad is the chief executive engineer of Mitsubishi electrics and it’s 30 % partner."" Oh Great ! ""Yeah..He is great. But I am really scared thinking about myself. I would reach nowhere near him. Don’t even know whether I will get admission to Engineering in Merit. Anyway Dad will get me a seat.”“ Do you actually like Engineering?” Dae asked.“ Yeah..ofcourse. I want to be an Engineer.”“ Oh..okay.” Dae nodded. He actually wanted Phet to say No. So that he can persuade him to continue in physics itself. “ Phet, you would definitely get admission. Don’t worry about that.”“ Hmm...And Dae my home is actually not here. My place is Pattaya."" Oh..! Are you driving to pattaya now ? It's more than 2 hours from here, right ? And oh..it’s in the opposite direction. Phet just drop me here and go home.”“ No..no, Cool Dae. I am not staying in Pattaya.”“ Then where are you staying ? Hostel nearby ?" Dae asked confused." No, here at Nonthaburi. At my uncles home, Mom's younger brother. It’s only 45 minutes from here and is in the same direction we are going now."" Oh..it's still a bit far. Why can't you stay at college Dorm ?"" Since I joined only temporarily in physics, they didn't allow me dorm. They said they can allow dorm, only after I make myself permanent in CU. I will definitely move to dorm once I get admission to Engineering. " Phet explained" Oh..I see. Phet, do you have siblings ?"" Yeah..only an younger brother. His name is Daw. He just entered high school. Ahh..I miss him already."" Oh..you guys are so close ?" Dae asked amused." Yeah." Phet smiled. " You know, your names are similar, Daw and Dae. So when I call you, I feel like you are Daw. And you looks so small. You just looks like a high school student. Korean genes maybe."" What..? I am as tall as you. No..I am taller than you. "" No..that's not what I meant. You look so cute and innocent like a small kid."" Ahh..Phet, enough. You are making me blush." Dae smiled.They talked a lot more sitting in the car. Dae couldn't believe, he became this close with a person he just met today morning. He felt like he was talking to his best friend. Dae's home was on the way to Phet's Uncle's home. So Phet didn't have to drive extra distance.After Phet dropped him in front of his house and he bid him good bye, Dae went inside his house. Aroon had not arrived yet. It's usual. He would only come by 7 or 8pm. But he will be at home before Dad arrives. Probably he might have gone somewhere with that Oak guy today.Dae went to kitchen. The maid was there preparing dinner. She got something for him to eat. After eating the snacks, he went upstairs to his room. He lied on his bed with 'Mr Ron' and thought about everything happened today. A smile creeped onto his features at the thought of Phet. He couldn't believe Phet stood up and fought for him.' Phet is so cool. He is a really nice guy. A true friend, I can trust. I want him to be my best friend. But I don't want to see him hurt because of me. I don't know what will happen in the future. Where is my life going? '[12. Keep this a secret]The T5 gang sat around a table in their usual cafe called Heavens, near the college, having Coffee and snacks. Most of the customers in the cafe were students from CU because it was evening and students directly walks into one of the nearby cafes after the classes. Every single worker in the cafe knows the five boys well because they often comes there after college. These five boys are at least a 5% monthly income of the cafe. The cafe owner was so disappointed when the college closed during vacation. And now that the college reopened, he is so happy. A smile creeped on his face when he saw the five of them walking into the cafe.Atid waved at the shop owner slightly raising from his chair as he saw him smiling at them."Hey...whom are you waving at", Kris asked as he saw Atid waving and smiling. "Oh Kris..I was waving at the shop owner. I think he is really happy to see us again." Atid said and munched on his burger.
[13. Bear&Bun]Dae was about to drift off into sleep when his phone rang, causing him to flinch at the sudden sound. Reluctantly he picked it up from the bedside table and answered sheepishly without checking the caller ID."Hey Dae...it's me Runrot. Wait..! did I get the number right?""Yeah..it's Dae. Uhmm...Runrot ? This is Phet, right ?", Dae asked and looked at the caller ID. It was Phet itself." Oh..yeah. Did I just say Runrot ? ", Phet chuckled. " Okay, that's my official name."" Oh..I see. Nice name." Dae said smiling. "Phet..Why you called ?""Nothing. Just I was sitting here bored. Dae..what are you doing?""Me..? Nothing. I am just lying on my bed. I was about to fall asleep.""Oh great ! I ruined your sleep. Is that crackhead there?""You mean Aroon ? No.." Dae giggled at that. "Oh Phet..! Did your uncle or aunt ask you anything about your face ? They might have understood you got into a fight."
[14. Room]It was a kind of weird yet horrifying noise, that made Aroon flinch open his eyes at 2 in the morning. On opening his eyes, exposing them to the utter darkness filled in his room, he got scared. He felt his heart beating fast as he heard the sound again. It was something like a rough whimper, something like the painful last whimper of a person whose soul is about to leave his body, the next moment.Aroon soon realized, the sounds were coming from nowhere else than the adjacent room. His body relaxed at the realization and he left a sigh. It was just his stepbrother staging one of his new drama at midnight. Aroon was more than frustrated as he was dragged out of his peaceful sleep in the middle of the night. The whimpers then started to increase in pitch.'Ahh...what's the problem with you now ? Why the hell are you crying? Kim Tanawat, can't you even let me sleep peacefully ?' Aroon hit at the wall between their rooms. "STOP MAKING NOISE", he ye
[15. Four thousand Baht]Dae let his eye lids open in the morning to see Aroon sleeping peacefully beside him, actually far away from him on the other end of the bed. It hurt him a bit. There was a time when he had to push the older away or beg him to take his hands and legs from his body because he was always hugging him so tight while sleeping, that he was even unable to breathe. He was just like a clingy octopus.The same person now observes a kind of pollution with him. Like he is some Ugly worthless creature. Aroon don’t like seeing his face, he don't like him coming near him or sitting near him or eating with him. He hates his existence itself. Dae wouldn’t have slept in Aroon’s room. But he was just so horrified last night after the nightmare. He was really scared to sleep alone in him room. But he never expected the older to let him sleep on his bed.Aroon Duangporn is actually too difficult to be understood. He is not the same person Dae onc
[16. Junior]Dae had an innocent smile plastered on his face as he walked towards his department after buying the textbooks from the college store. He was so happy that Aroon treated him somewhat nicely after years. His face was as bright as the sun."Hey boy..", He heard someone call. He turned to the left and saw four boys sitting on the railing of the basket ball court."Me..?", he asked confused."Yes you...come over here.", one of the boys said. Dae's smile disappeared and he walked to them nervous.“What's your name?", another guy with greasy hair asked."Dae.""Are you Korean?", the third guy stood up from the railing and asked grabbing Dae's ID. He was tall and built. His face was intimidating and he had blond hair. “ Kim Tanawat Duangporn ?", he read the name out confused.“ Yeah..I am half Korean, half Thai.”“ I see.”, he smiled looking up at Dae's face and then again averted his gaze to his ID
[17. Lollipop]"Please..don't hurt him. He is my friend.", Dae said as Chau took step towards Phet.Chau turned back. "Friend? really..!? ", He asked.Dae rushed towards Phet to help him stand up. "yes, he is my friend.", he said and grabbed Phet’s hands. He then turned and walked away with Phet without another word.&nb
[18. I am seriously done with you !]Dae woke up to someone calling his name softly, running their fingers through his locks. As he slowly opened his eyes, the person took his fingers from his hair. He sat up rubbing his eyes. And he was shocked to see the people in front of him. Right in front of his face was standing the college basketball captain, Chau. On his left was Chen and on his right was Mike.“ Oh....Seniors ! Why are you here ?”, Dae asked confused, looking around. There were now a few girls and a very few boys in the class and all of them were looking in their direction, confused. Dae tilted his head and looked at his watch. T
[19. Protein tablets ]Aroon parked his car in the college parking lot and walked to the football ground with a water bottle swinging in his hands. He looked at his watch and saw the time as 6: 25 Am. He started walking briskly, taking long steps. He is the captain and he can’t be late to practice.The previous day, they had called a meeting of all senior and junior football players and decided to practice everyday from 6:30 to 8 Am, giving one hour before the cla
