[56. Seniors and Rules]
Phet prayed in his mind to not meet Oak or the T-five gang as he walked to his class along with Art. Luckily he didn't meet them on the hallway. He left a relieved sigh once he entered his classroom.
There were many empty seats. They both walked to the third row and sat down. Students were all chatting with each other. Can who was chatting with a group of guys, came running on seeing Phet." Hi Phet, nice to meet you again.", he said smiling." Oh..woah ! You remember my name."" Yeah..do you remember my name ?", Can asked." Oh..uhmm..", Phet pretended thinking. "Yeah..Can.", he said smiling.Can smiled and then waved at Art. " Hi, what's your name ?"" I am Art."" Are you both from same school ?"" No..we just met yesterday. We are roommates.", Art said." Oh..I see. I am a day scholar.", Can said and sat down on the seat nearby. " How is college dorm ? Is it good ?"[57. Captain Post]Phet stood at the corridor in front of their class thinking about his Physics class and his friend ship with Dae. Dae is still here, only a little away from him. But he feels lonely. Today he already created a bad impression by talking back to Oak. Phet knew he was entering into more and more trouble but he couldn't control his stubborn self. Maybe Oak, Aroon and their gang will become a real consequence in his college life. Anyway he decided to become a polite junior like everyone." Hey Phet...Why are you standing here alone ? Where is Art ?"Phet turned and saw it was the girl who talked to him before." Oh..he is sleeping in the dorm, I guess. He said he will only come back after the bell. “ You are day scholar? "" No, I am also staying here at girls Dorm."" Oh..", Phet hummed." Where are you from ?"" I am from Pattaya. You..?", Phet asked" Nakhon.", Pheung replied "Phet..it's better
[58. Opening of the Mysterious Golden box]Phet and Art were walking back to their dorm after having coffee and snacks from the nearby cafe along with their friends, just as they planned at noon. Pheung and Anong had parted ways to the girls dorm while Can and Book were day scholars and they together left in Book's car. The two boys were about to step into their dorm building. But then someone called." Hey..First years."They turned to see Oak standing with a bundle of paper in his hands, near a white bicycle locked with a cycle lock." Come here.", he called and Art immediately walked to him while Phet walked reluctantly." Hold this.", Oak stretched the bundle of sheets to Art who immediately grabbed it from his hands. Oak crouched down and unlocked the bicycle. Then he hoisted his legs up the bicycle and climbed on it." Do you have a plastic cover or something like that ?", he asked looking at Art." Ahmm..no.", bo
[59. Truths]Tears slithered out of Aroon's eyes as he closed the diary. The old diary trembled in his shivering hands. He felt like the whole world crashing down on him. He is a crying and sobbing mess.He has never cried like this ever in his entire life. His heart felt like it would burst into a million pieces at any time. He don't know what to do, Where to go. Tears pouring down like waterfall and he wiped it harshly.'I don't deserve to live anymore for what I did to Dae. I deserve to rot in hell. I am a sinner. God won't forgive me even if Dae forgives me. Why did Dad hide all this from me ? Why didn't I know? What did I do to my Bun. This can never be fixed. What I did are unforgivable things. I don't even deserve to breathe. I hate myself. I will go somewhere far away, where nobody can find me. Dae shouldn't see my disgusting face anymore. But before that, I need to hear all the truths from Dad's mouth.'Aroon looked like a ghost as he ca
[60. Let’s fix it]"Hey..get up, Aroon...get up."Aroon opened his eyes to see Preed and Oak standing in front of him. Oak's expression said he is in high degree anger. Aroon tapped on his head as he felt a severe head ache. He slowly sat up and looked at his friends."Where am I ?", he asked."My home.", Preed said."How am I here?""SHUT UP ! ", Oak roared and Aroon flinched. "Don't you remember anything? What the hell is wrong with you, Aroon ? Do you even remember today is our match? "Aroon suddenly remembered the things from yesterday. His face went down at the thought of it."You called him from a bar yesterday.", Preed said. "Oak called me and when we came to pick you, you were all drunk and was creating a big scene at the bar. And we took you here. My parents are not here now." Aroon sat looking at his lap. He nodded at his friends with his head hung down."Look at me. Why did you go to that Go
[61. Don't think that your cheap tricks still work with me.]"WHAT ! What did he just say ? I am sorry !? And did he call me Dae..? No..no way. Am I dreaming? But why actually did he call me? It was him.., right? It was his voice, right? And he was stammering? But why would he call me from an other number and cut the call soon. Maybe it's someone else and I got confused. Or... maybe, someone is trying to prank me through some voice changer or something..but who? Only Phet knows..Oh Hell ! what is this? Let me call back and ask."Dae dialled the number and waited for the person to pick the call."Hello..who is this? ", he asked as the call was answ
[62. Sorry]"When can I get it ?" , Aroon asked the man at the studio."3 days later? We have a lot of customers.", The man said."Uhmm..can you make it a bit more faster? , Can you frame it by tomorrow ? Money is not a problem.""Uhm..okay. Tomorrow after noon ?""Okay..Thank you.", Aroon said and turned, walking out of the shop to his car.Right when he hopped into the car, his phone started ringing. It was Aom. Aroon sighed. Aom's badminton match is at 11 Am. He had told her yesterday that he would definitely come and cheer her. It's almost 11 now. Aroon picked the call and placed it near his ears." P'Aroon..where are you ? Are you here ? My match is about to begin?"" No..I am not there Aom."" You are on the way ?"" No..", Aroon said running a hand through his hair."Then, where are you ? Will you come ? What's with your sound ? ""Aom, I am at home. I am no
[63. All the best.]At the changing room, the basketball players were changing themselves into their Jersey. Dae put on his socks after he wore the jersey and shorts. He stared at the two shoes in front of him, one bought by Chau and the other by Aroon. He was still confused which one he should wear for the match. Right then Phet managed to somehow sneak into the room."Dae..are you ready?", Phet almost shouted in excitement."Oh Phet...which of these shoes should I wear ?", Dae asked."Oh..why did you bring two shoes? Wear the one which is most comfortable. Oh wait ! This is the shoes Aroon bought you, right ?"" Yeah..he asked me to wear it for the match.""No Dae. Don't wear it. It will definitely betray you in the match. Wear the other one.", Phet said sternly."But..I examined it. There is nothing wrong with the shoes.""Dae..why do you need to wear the shoes bought by him ? I can't understand. Ahh..you are....ok
[64. Congrats]Dae stood at the three point line watching the atmosphere in and around the court. He was confused about what to do next. The whole school was clapping and whistling and being part of their victory. Chau and all his team mates were hugging each other. They had already started to celebrate. Gun and his co players huddled with their coach at the other end of the court. Gun was consoling one of his co players who was at the verge of tears.What should he do? Whether he should go and celebrate with his team or he should go to his long time crush and tell him that he and his team played well? Or should he run to the football ground and watch the second half of Aroon's match? What is he supposed to do? Why can't he be just happy like everyone else in his team and enjoy with his fellow team mates? Before he could decide anything, all of his teammates except Chau came running to him and hugged him."Dae..we won ! ", so
[167. I will be with you.]The drive to Sky Park is only 20 minutes. The boys sits in the back seat of a cab, peering out of the windows at the bright lit malls and shops on either sides of the highway. It's almost 7 Pm and all the shops has been brightly lit with colourful lights.'Fake Love, BTS' is playing on the radio in the background and Dae tries humming along with the song whilst carefully observing the Seoul city. The driver, who is probably a guy in his late twenties also sings along with the song in a low voice whilst vigorously shaking his head. Aroon just sits and enjoys the cool wind whipping through his cheeks from the taxi's open window." Are you two a couple ?", the driver suddenly asks stopping his singing and glancing at them through the mirror. Both Aroon and Dae is surprised. Not because the driver asked them that question but because he asked in English." Yeah..", Aroon replies. The driver just smiles in response and starts
[166. Ice rink]Dae sits in one of the side seats of a bus to Seoul with the older's phone in his hands, his eyes glued on the phone screen, his lips curved upward and his dimples visible as he reads the rest of the comments under their post. There had been a lot of new comments, the morning and new comments are appearing every minute. Most of them are supportive and Dae can’t help but feel extremely happy. Whenever he comes across a negative comment, he quickly skips it. He doesn’t let his mind get affected by the negative remarks.Aroon sits beside the younger, carefully watching his expression, smiling slightly whenever the younger’s smile widens a bit more. The boys had left Min's apartment only half an hour ago, after having the breakfast Granny min prepared for them. “ Enough Bun.”, Aroon says after sometime. “ You will get a head ache if you read while traveling.”“ Oh..really?”, Dae tilts his head and asks. “ Yeah I think I am s
[ 165. Overcame Fear]It had past midnight. Dae lied awake looking at the dark ceiling above him, his eyebrows scrunched together as he tried to make some important decision regarding his relationship with Aroon. The older was sound asleep beside him, still one of his strong arms caging him protectively from one side." Aru..", he suddenly called shaking the older. He needs to tell the older something urgently. Out of nowhere, he has suddenly got some strange yet strong courage, a courage to do something, something daring. He needs to do it right now or what if he loses the courage tomorrow morning?Aroon groaned in discomfort as Dae called him again. Dae reached his hands to the nearby switch board and soon the lights were turned on. Aroon's eyelashes fluttered in irritation at the sudden lightening that filled the room along with the younger calling his name whilst shaking him. " What bun ?", he asked slowly opening his eyes." Aru, I have took one impo
[164. Baby..patience ]Aroon sat on the bed, staring at the younger, sitting huddled up on the couch watching some cartoon on TV after having the ramen noodles cooked by granny min, his plump lips curved upward at the end and his dimples visible as he peered at the television screen. The younger looked so cute and hot in his new light blue shirt and cream short shorts.Aroon looked at his watch. It was almost 9 Pm. Dae isn't getting bored watching the damn cartoon. At last Aroon sat up from the bed, ruffling his hair and walked to the younger, the sweet smell of strawberries encasing him as he reaches near him.He slumps down beside the younger inhaling his sweet smell deep into his nostrils. But the younger is so immersed in the cartoon he is watching that he doesn't give him the attention he needed.Losing patience, Aroon grabs the younger's chin and turns his face to him, making him look at his eyes. Dae's heart rate suddenly speeds up at the way the o
[ 163. The old couple. ]Dae walks holding Aroon's hands, a smile sits on his face as he amusedly watches the infinite number of shops and stalls on either side of the road. A heavy plastic bag hangs on Aroon's free hand and it swings back and forth as they walks quickly through the street market of Cheonan. Inside it are the little stuff they bought from that market." Aru, walk slow.", Dae whines." Dae, it's going to rain soon. I think we need to walk 15 more minutes to reach the bus stop."" It's going to rain? How do you know ?", Dae asks confused." Look up at the sky."Dae looks up and sees the greying clouds above him rumbling with warning. Out of nowhere an ice cool wind blows and whips through their hair. A drop of water falls on Dae's nose tip." Aru..yeah..it's raining."Soon fat droplets of rain hits both of their forehead and Aroon runs holding Dae's hands to a nearby tiny restaurant. Standing there under the leak
[162. Baby goats]After almost an hour, Dae wakes up feeling hungry. He blinks his eyes thrice before slowly lifting his heavy eyelids, adjusting his dreary eyes to the morning sun rays rushing in through the open window. He slowly sits up straight, lifting his head from the older's shoulders." Why you woke up quickly ?", Aroon asks, his gaze on his phone, his fingers dancing rapidly over the screen. "There's one more hour to reach there. Sleep a little more.", he says slightly turning his head. Dae just hums in replay but looks out of the window deciding to watch the sights outside for sometime. The bus is now going through a city and tall buildings array on both sides of the road. Soon Dae notices the board of a restaurant and instantly his mouth waters seeing the variety food items on the banner. He feels extremely hungry after seeing the photo of the food items. He hadn't eaten dinner last night. But he feels reluctant to tell Aroon that
[ 161. Bus ride ]Dae squirmed on the bed, left and right trying to meet the familiar warmth. But he didn’t hit Aroon's body even after rolling about a lot. So he finally opened his eyes to figure out where the older actually was. He turned his face to his right and he was shocked. Abruptly he turned around to the left and there too was no one. Dae sat up on the bed in panic with a fast thudding heart. " Aru..", He called out frightened gazing around in the room. He looked over at the window and it's still dark outside. Dae started getting more nervous by the instant. "A..Aru..", He again called and this time it came out muffled because of fear. He was about to cry as no reply came.He only remember both of them running into a hotel, actually a motel at midnight after walking through the empty roads for almost an hour. He was really sleepy then and as soon he saw a bed, he fell on it and drifted into sleep, hugging the older. But now where is the olde
[ 160. Eloped ]It was really dark when Aroon landed at Seoul airport. He had changed the time in his phone from 5: 52 Pm to 7:52 Pm. And it had past 8:20 when he finally got out of the airport and got a taxi. Somehow he was able to tell the driver that we wanted to go to Daegu and fortunately the man understood him.Aroon took his phone and called Oak as soon as he hopped into the taxi.“ Aroon..be really careful. We will call you if there’s anything. And if your Dad calls you, pick the call. Or he will get suspicions. Bye then, take care.”, Oak said before ending the call.Aroon then placed the phone in his pocket and leaned back in his seat.The taxi driver, who was an young man, not looking anything more than 25 tried to converse with him in a English mixed Korean. And Aroon was able to comprehend something. His one week stay with Kim family had taught him a little bit Korean. He also tried to converse a little with the driver in an attempt to
[159. Let’s bring back Dae.]Aroon didn't have dinner. He sat on his desk chair thinking what to do next. An hour ago, he had texted Dae ' Are you okay ?' just to see whether he has his phone with him. The message was marked ‘seen’ after sometime but no reply came. So he understood the phone was either in Mr Kim’s custody or with his own Dad.' Dae isn't alright. Right now, he might be crying, lying in that room where we stayed. Or they might be questioning him. He is definitely not okay. He needs me.', Aroon suddenly took his phone in his hands and started searching for the next flight to Korea.There was a flight at 5 Am. The booking was about to close and he hastily went to book ticket. But soon he found that there was not enough money in his card. It was strange as the ticket doesn't coast that much. He checked the balance and found the whole money in his account has been withdrawn a few hours ago. Aroon felt totally helpless. He called O
