Red Fountain Academy Series

Puifai, Som and Best are classmates along with Nicky, Nichkhun, New, Mike, Tina, Aom, Toptap, Bifern and Nanan.

“We’re going to a movie theatre this Saturday. Wanna come?” Puifai asks Som.

“Pass. I and my baby are going on a date.” Som said.

“What about you, Aom?” Puifai asks.

“Date.” Aom said.

“Now I am envious.” Puifai said.

“Kan is back.” Tina said.

“Shut up.” Puifai said.

“If he’s back. Does it mean that he will be our classmate again?” Nanan asks.

“I hope not.” Puifai said.

Puifai senses that someone is staring at her and when she looks at the back where the most guys are sitting, she saw Nichkhun staring at her and it seems that he doesn’t care if someone will notice him.

Puifai looks away.

“Why is he staring at me?” Puifai whispered.

“What?” Aom asks.

“Nothing.” Puifai said.

When the bell rings, everyone went to their seats.

Prof. Namcha enters.

“Ok, class. Welcome back! Another year that we will be together and this will be our last year together because some of you will be leaving to study in other universities. Anyway, I am happy to tell you that a member of our family that left is now back.” Prof. Namcha said.

Puifai doesn’t like what she is hearing.

“Let’s all welcome Kan!” Prof. Namcha said.

Kan enters the classroom and the students are warmly welcome him.

“Welcome back, Kan.” Prof. Namcha said.

“Thank you, Prof. Namcha.” Kan said.

Kan sat on his seat that they left vacant after he left.

“Later, all the president and vice-presidents of the clubs will have a meeting in the principal’s office at 5:00.” Prof. Namcha said.

……………………………………………………

Pearwah is in the noodle restaurant and witness the scene of Thorn-Esther-Singto.

Then, she heard the wanna-be-girls talking.

“Girls, I think it is time to visit the R.F.A’s School Paper Club.” Wawa said.

“Oooohhh… It looks like Wawa is thinking of something.” Mind said.

“Evil.” Bifern said.

“It won’t gonna work.” Pearwah said.

“Who are you? And what do you mean?” Wawa said.

“Before even the School Paper Club publish it, President Tao will block it so your plan will not gonna work.” Pearwah said.

The wanna-be-girls admit that she has a point.

“Who are you?” Mind asks.

“Me? Let’s just say that I am interested to make the popular girls’ lives hell.” Pearwah said. “And I can help you.”

The three look at each other.

“You’re in.” they said.

“Welcome to the club.” Wawa said.

“Thanks.” Pearwah said

“I am curious. Who in popular girls that you hate?” Bifern asks.

Pearwah smirked. “Natthapat Wipatkornthrakul.”

……………………………………………………

The next day…

Puifai is in the library when Kan came.

“Puifai.” Kan called her.

Puifai ignores him.

“Puifai, let’s talk.” Kan said.

“There’s nothing to talk about.” Puifai said.

“Yes, there is. Our son.” Kan said.

Puifai’s eyes widened. She pulls Kan to the corner of the library.

“Don’t mention my son in the public.” Puifai whispered.

“Our son.” Kan corrected.

My son because you never been a father to him.” Puifai said.

“I’m sorry if I left but I am her now.” Kan said.

“Too late. My son isn’t here and he is happy now.” Puifai said.

“What do you mean?” Kan asks.

“He’s taking care of a good family.” Puifai said.

“You abandoned our son?” Kan asks.

“I have no choice. I have a reputation here.” Puifai said.

Kan felt mad. His eyes are burning with anger.

“How can you abandoned him just because of your reputation?” Kan said.

Puifai chuckled. “Didn’t you left because of your reputation?”

Kan can’t answered.

Puifai took that chance to leave Kan.

……………………………………………………

Victor and Kan are walking around the academy when they saw Nichkhun.

“I don’t know what’s going on between you and Puifai but I don’t believe that you two are a couple.” Kan said.

“It’s not my problem if you don’t believe us.” Nichkhun said and starts to walk away.

“Do you know that she has a son?” Kan asks.

“What?” Nichkhun asks. He doesn’t know that Puifai has a son.

Kan smiled when he saw Nichkhun’s shock face.

“We have a son.” Kan said.

“So?” Nichkhun asks.

Kan’s smile gone.

“You left and now she’s mine.” Nichkhun said and left.

Kan clenches his fist.

“Kan, what are you two talking about? Nichkhun and Puifai?” Victor asks.

“Nothing.” Kan said and left.

……………………………………………………

Puifai is going back to the Pink Fountain Dormitory when Cherreen joins her.

The two are now walking to the dormitory when they saw Nichkhun outside the Pink Fountain Dormitory.

“Nichkhun, are you waiting for me?” Cherreen asks.

“No. Her.” Nichkhun said while looking at Puifai.

“Why?” Cherreen asks.

“Nothing important.” Nichkhun said.

“I’ll go back to my room.” Cherreen said and left them.

Nichkhun and Puifai went to a place somewhere private.

“What do you want to talk about?” Puifai asks.

“You didn’t tell me you have a son… with Kan.” Nichkhun said.

Puifai just sighed. She wasn’t surprised if Nichkhun already knows it.

“Kan told you, right?” Puifai asks.

“Yes. Why are you hiding your son?” Nichkhun asks.

“Because of my- no- because of my reputation and also Gypsy’s.” Puifai said.

“Gypsy?” Nichkhun asks.

“I’m Gypsy’s best friend and if everyone finds out about my son, it could ruin her reputation.” Puifai said.

“Is the reputation important than your son being with you?” Nichkhun asks.

“Yes. I still have a long way to go. I am a swimmer and I want to be famous of it.” Puifai said.

“You are crazy. Abandoning your son just because of your reputation?” Nichkhun said.

“Yes and now that you know my secret, it is alright if you stop pretending to be my boyfriend.” Puifai said before leaving Nichkhun.

……………………………………………………

Nichkhun went back to the Blue Fountain Dormitory and at the lobby of the dormitory, Victor is waiting for him.

“What was that?” Victor asks.

“What what?” Nichkhun asks.

“You and Puifai are dating?” Victor asks.

“Who’s dating who?” Nicky asks from the back.

“Puifai and Nichkhun.” Victor said.

“Really?” Nicky asks.

“Shut up, guys!” Nichkhun said. “If someone hears you, it will spread like fire.”

“Sorry.” The two said.

“But how?” Victor asks. “I never saw you with her and Puifai never told me about you.”

“Really? A girl talking to a guy about her relationship? I will not be surprise if she will tell it to Bee but to you? Unless you are a gay.” Nichkhun said.

“I am not gay.” Victor said. “But how?”

“As far as I know, we are not close, so… bye.” Nichkhun said and left.

……………………………………………………

Swimming Club…

After their practice, their coach talk to all of the members of the Swimming Club.

“As you know, the National Swimming Competition is getting near. Puifai and Victor are our representative and in case of something happened to them, Best and Nicky will be the replacement.

Dismiss.”

Faculty Room…

When Prof. Louis came back to the Faculty Room, the other professors are chatting.

“I think we should try different restaurant. How about Korean?” Jane asks.

“How about Japanese?” another professor asks.

“But we had Japanese last week, Prof. Numpeung.” Jane said.

“Is that so?” Numpeung said. “Then, let’s ask my step-son. What do you think, Prof. Ken?”

“How about let’s have Italian for a change?” Louis asks.

“Italian? Let’s go for it.” Jane said.

The others agree too.

Puifai, Best, Nicky and Victor arrived at the Faculty room.

“I called you here because I am aware about the war between Puifai and Best. Although I chose Best as the understudy of Puifai, I want both of you to work hard together.” Louis said.

“I think it is impossible, Coach.” Puifai said.

“Puifai, if you want to be a famous swimmer, having a pleasant relationship with your teammates is a must.” Louis said. “Nicky and Victor, I want you to become their bridge so these girls will be connected to each other.”

“Yes, coach!” they said.

Best glares at Nicky while Puifai glares at Victor.

“Anyway, you can go now.” Louis said.

The four leave the Faculty Room.

……………………………………………………

“Working with you will never happen.” Best said when they left the Faculty Room.

“Do you think I like to work with you? I’d rather die than working with you.” Puifai said.

“Girls, girls, girls, for the sake of the competition, can you please work together?” Victor asks.

“NO!!!” the two said.

“Ok, fine.” Victor said.

“I’d better go. I promised Toptap that we will find some unicorns today.” Nicky said.

“I’m coming with you.” Best said.

……………………………………………………

Puifai is going out from the library when she saw Nichkhun outside the library and talking from his cellphone.

“Araso. I’m coming there. I just need to get the permission of the school director. Ne, Bye.” Nichkhun is talking in Korean.

“You’re leaving?” Puifai asks.

“I didn’t know you can understand Korean.” Nichkhun said.

“Just a little.” Puifai said.

“I’m leaving this Friday then go back on Sunday night. Wanna come?” Nichkhun said.

“What am I going to do there?” Puifai asks.

“Go around the city.” Nichkhun said. “I remember when you went there with Cherreen and others, you ended up staying in the hotel because you got sick.”

“But you’ll be busy there. I don’t want to go there alone.” Puifai said.

“I can accompany you on our first day.” Nichkhun said.

“But-”

Nichkhun holds her hand. “Please…”

“Fine.” Puifai said.

Nichkhun feels happy.

They didn’t know that Pearwah is watching them from a far.

……………………………………………………

Namcha is teaching Nanon’s class when Pearwah came. She just walk straight to the classroom.

“Pearwah, can’t you just say ‘Excuse Me’ first?” Namcha asks.

“I need to talk to you, right now.” Pearwah said and pulls Namcha out of the classroom.

“What a rude girl she is.” Tonson said.

“Even though she is Prof. Namcha’s step-sister, she shouldn’t do that to her.” Sakun said.

“I agree.” Tonson said.

……………………………………………………

“Pearwah, what is it?” Namcha asks.

“I’m going to South Korea.” Pearwah said.

“And why?” Namcha asks.

“P’Nichkhun is going there.” Pearwah said.

“He is going there because of work. I am sure he will be back next week.” Namcha said.

“But he is going with that swimmer!” Pearwah said.

“Swimmer? Puifai?” Namcha asks.

Namcha laughed.

“What’s funny?” Pearwah asks.

“Puifai is Cherreen’s friend and I heard from Louis that Puifai will be competing in the National Swimming Competition and her training will start after the camping of the Student Councils. I am sure Nichkhun wants Puifai to relax before the bloody training.”

“But-”

“Pearwah, we don’t have money for that. Letting you study here cost me a lot of money so better study hard and stop following Nichkhun around.” Namcha said.

“My priority is P’Nichkhun not the study.” Pearwah said.

“Yah!” Namcha yells but her yell doesn’t affect Pearwah at all.

“I want a ticket to South Korea.” Pearwah said and left.

Namcha sighed and massage her head.

“Oh, my head hurts.” Namcha said and went back inside the classroom.

Thanaerng get down from the tree where she heard it all.

……………………………………………………

Nichkhun talks to the school director about his travel to South Korea with Puifai.

“No problem. You two can leave Thursday evening. I will write an excuse letter for the both of you.” Vichuda said. “But may I ask, why do you want Puifai to come with you?”

“I heard that Puifai will be our representative in National Swimming Competition and I want her to relax before the start of her training.” Nichkhun said.

“I see… Ok.” Vichuda said.

“Thank you, Ms. Vichuda.” Nichkhun said.

……………………………………………………

Nichkhun called Puifai to inform her that the school director allowed them to go.

During the dinner, Puifai informed her friends that she will be going to South Korea.

“Why is Nichkhun invited you instead me?” Cherreen asks.

“He is trying to let Puifai relax before the training.” Gypsy said.

“I see. But I want to come too.” Cherreen said.

“Aunt Vichuda will not allow you if it is not important.” Gypsy said.

“Oh right.” Cherreen said. “Well, enjoy your vacation.”

“Thanks.” Puifai said.

“Watch out for some stalkers.” Thanaerng said.

“What do you mean?” Puifai asks.

“Nichkhun is famous. It is not unusual to have a stalker.” Thanaerng said.

“Oh right.” Cherreen said. “Be careful. If I am very protective to my brother, stalkers are 10x obsessed with him.”

……………………………………………………

Blue Fountain Dormitory…

“You’re going to South Korea with Puifai?” Jes asks Nichkhun.

They are in their room after the dinner.

“Yes and don’t tell it to Victor and Kan or anyone else.” Nichkhun said.

“Ok. I won’t tell anyone.” Jes said.

“About what?” Oaujun asks who just got back.

“That Nichkhun and Puifai are going to South Korea.” Jes said.

“Jespipat!” Nichkhun said.

“Oh! Sorry.” Jes said.

“You and Puifai are going to South Korea? Are you for real?” Oaujun asks.

“I just want her to relax.” Nichkhun said. “But don’t tell it to anyone especially Victor and Kan.”

“Ok! But you need to give me a signed album of SNSD.” Oaujun said.

“Call!” Nichkhun said.
