Toptap POV

It has been few days since the news broke about Ai’White and Ai’Cap. I’ve been so supportive to Ai’Cap, telling him that everything will be okay so I am glad seeing him today in the university with P’Gun—he probably got dragged by P’Gun because today is P’Mark’s graduations.

“Woie! Ai’Toptap!” I’ve heard someone calling my name loudly and instantly I smile widely seeing a very familiar face with another calm familiar face.

I wave my hand, “P’Max! Wadee—” I wai then shifted, “P’Tul! Wadee~” and wai again.

They didn’t wai back at me, instead P’Max ruffles my hair and P’Tul tap my shoulder lightly, “Haven’t seen you in a while na woie~” P’Max said with his usual jolly voice.

I nod my head, “How are you na khrab?” P’Tul asked me this time.

I flash them my smile, “I am doing great na P’. Sorry if I wasn’t able to message you na khrab when I was in Korea and when we got back here in Thailand—as you know na P’Max—Ai’Cap is—yeah, so I am trying to tone down my social media accounts na P’ and tries to be with Ai’Cap as much as I can.”

Technically, I am not close to P’Max or even to P’Tul at first.

P’Max has been around P’Hyuk’s engineering friends even though they are not on the same year. Yeah, those engineering brotherhood is really amazing.

P’Tul isn’t even from our university, so how did I become close to these two?

Before going to Korea, I was on a vacation and coincidently bumped in P’Max who recognized me as, “Woie! Ai’Captain friend na Nong!” he was with P’Tul that time who is his longtime boyfriend—since high school—P’Tul said.

Both of them adopted me during the trip and forced me—yes forced me—to tell them about my very recent break up—and the rest is history.

“It’s okay na Ai’Toptap, Max also got busy na khrab because of his ‘engineering duties’~” I can hear sarcasm from P’Tul’s tone but that’s funny because he hates it when P’Max doesn’t have time for him but didn’t cage him or stop him from doing his ‘engineering duties.’

P’Max poke P’Tul’s cheeks with his finger and chuckled, “P’Hyuk will kill me na khrab if I will not look after Ai’Cap~” he has this sweet tone too. Things that people can do for love—reminds me of—

‘What are you thinking na Toptap? No more sad thoughts—no more thinking na khrab about him!’

I don’t know why suddenly he came up into my mind?

I have been doing great so far—maybe because Ai’Cap’s situation makes me pre-occupied.

Again, I look at my two P’s who are arguing cutely in front of me.

I remember what P’Tul told me before parting ways with them during our mini get away vacation.

He said, “Go find me or Max in your university na Ai’Toptap. I can introduce you to some of my friends na khrab—they are nice and you will like them. If you want to forget about him—you need to meet people!”

Now I make up my mind—moving forward—here’s to freedom from my past.

“P’Tul!” I called him.

That makes both of them to stop arguing, “khrab?” he asked.

I can only smile—cheers to moving on.

“Introduce me—to your friends na P’~”

Plan’s POV

I roll my eyes again when I saw my Ai’Friend looking so excited today. His relationship with P’Mark is still a question for me. I still don’t like P’Mark for him though I know that P’Mark has been helping Ai’Cap so much these days.

Okay—I hate Ai’White and P’Mark.

I still haven’t seen Ai’White since last week in Korea and he has been letting things happen to Ai’Captain. I am worried of course because Ai’Cap is Ai’Gun’s brother and he is a friend to me too.

“Stop—” a hand sooth my forehead, “frowning Plan,” I look in front of me but didn’t smile, “Why do I need to stop na Mean? I cannot stop it! I don’t know why my face keeps making funny facial expressions na khrab!” I complained to my boyfriend.

We are both waiting in front of IC building for P’Mark because the graduation ended like long time ago and both Ai’Gun and Mean forced me to go to university even though I can sleep in my house today.

“You are so cute na Plan—how can I keep you?” Mean asked me a very confusing question.

“What do you mean how to keep me na khrab? You cannot keep me na Mean even though you are my boyfriend—mae khrab and pa khrab will surely look for me~” I whined loudly earning some stares from people. Some of them are even pointing at Mean and I since we arrived—maybe because Mean is an IC student.

My boyfriend can only shake his head while chuckling.

After few minutes of waiting, we saw Ai’Cap again but he isn’t with Ai’Gun. Ai’Cap on the other hand runs towards Ai’Toptap who was talking to some engineering seniors. I didn’t know that Ai’ is close to those engineering boys—they are scary just like P’Hyuk.

I was ready to ask Mean if we can join Ai’Cap and Ai’Toptap when I hear him talking, “Why do I need to go home na khrab?—I am doing well na Pa and—as I said I don’t know about it—” I look at him and he looks mad.

I am sure that I didn’t make him mad because I am not saying anything to him, “Kee~” he mumbled softly, “Am I his only friend na Pa? You can even check my condominium na khrab if you don’t believe me na—I don’t want to go home!”

As a reflex, I grab Mean’s hand, “Are you okay?” I asked softly feeling bothered with his sudden raising of voice.

He only grip on my hand tighter, “Invite me again na Pa once you are ready to meet my boyfriend na khrab. I am done with our family drama na woie! Accept the person I love before you ask me to come back home!”

It looks like, “Your parents doesn’t want to meet me na khrab~” I mumbled softly.

Title’s POV

Coo insisted of going to university today because of P’Mark’s graduation. Well—actually—Ai’Gun invited everyone for dinner later as a celebration of P’Mark’s graduation. That Ai’Friend, he got harasses the other day and now he is back on his feet again and arranging a dinner party for his boyfriend.

We were about to go but Coo received a call and I decided to wait in the car because I was messaging Ai’Ohm since the other day.

I don’t think our friends notice or know but Ai’Ohm and Ai’Fluke broke up after our trip to Korea. Something that Cooheart and I wanted to prevent but we cannot.

At first, we both agree not to interfere anymore but Ai’Fluke is on his default self-distraction mode. He has been drinking a lot lately which I was quite shocked because I never thought how serious he was with Ai’Ohm—not until they break up.

P’Tae visited the other day and begged for us to do something—to help Ai’Fluke. He never begs before—not once but he begged for his brother so now Coo and I are stuck in between Ai’Ohm and Ai’Fluke.

“Woie~ Tle, sorry na khrab, I was slow,” Coo opened the passenger door and that was the first thing he told me.

There’s no way I will get mad at him so I reaches out for his hair and pat him, “No problem na Coo~” I said softly.

I put back my hand to the wheels and start the ignition, “Who was calling you anyway?” I asked curiously.

I start driving out of the parking lot, “Oh—do you remember P’Tae’s frieds na khrab?”

Instantly my forehead forms a frown. I’ve only met P’Tae’s friend once when Ai’Fluke and Cooheart got drunk. We were all looking at Coo and Ai’Fluke all over Changmai only to find them dead drunk.

P’Tae brought his whole gang lo search everywhere. I nod, “Chai, the gang in Changmai,” I said as I recall.

I cannot look at Cooheart right now because I drive safely. I focus on the road because I get distracted easily by my boyfriend, “Ohhh you remember them~” he chuckled before continuing, “P’Kao called me and—”

I stepped on the brake so sudden.

Cooheart got startled by the sudden stop while I didn’t care where we stop. I look at him, “Tle! Why did you do that na khrab? I got scared!” he is going to get mad at me soon but that’s my least priority right now.

“Who—did you say?” I asked firmly.

I saw a confused look on Coo, “P’Kao? Don’t you remember him na Tle? He was the one who found Ai’Fluke and I when we got drunk na khrab.” His explanation isn’t enough.

I squint my eyes, “And why is he calling you? Why does he have your number?” my voice didn’t change at all.

I can already see an invisible question mark above Cooheart’s head, “We—Ai’Fluke hangs out with his brother’s friend na khrab when we go back home—P’Kao is like my closest na khrab. Why are you asking so suddenly na Tle?”

I bit my inner cheeks preventing myself from asking more questions.

I don’t like it—I don’t like when other man is being close to my boyfriend—especially people who isn’t part of my group of friends.

Still with heavy heart, I remove my foot from the brake and started driving again.

There’s a moment of silence inside the car before Coo started laughing. Somehow his laughter makes me feel at ease, “Woie! Are you jealous na kharb?”

I didn’t answer him. I focus more on the road.

“You are jealous~” he giggles, “Woie~ Why are you jealous na khrab? You do know that I will not look at other guys na khrab other than my perfect Title Kirati na khrab~”

I sigh, “You better not Coo,” I said finally and again his laughter fills in the car.

White’s POV

I park P’Mark’s other car in the crowded parking lot of IC building.

Last night, P’Mark gave us a risky suggestion. I am not sure if P’ can really handle this but he suggested to come out clean. No more hiding for Cap and I—we need to be seen in public.

I have another phone now—spare phone of Ai’Mean and I am wearing P’Mark’s usual outfit, fitted ripped jeans and patterned shirt. My whole being is screaming P’Mark’s style right now.

I sigh deeply before opening the driver’s door.

When I stepped out of the car, everyone seems to be quieter. Even the people taking pictures stop what they are doing—just—keep on—starring—at—me.

I decided to ignore, close the door and walk in the crowd.

“P’White khrab?”

“Chai! I haven’t seen him in university lately~”

“Is he still with P’Captain na kah?”

Looks like I need more explaining to people.

-----

Flashback

Cap and I both jolted on our seat when we heard what P’Mark said. Only Ai’Gun is calm and just sitting beside P’Mark, “what do you mean P’?” Captain asked full of confusion.

I am also confused, I thought we will hide?

“Like I said na khrab, Ai’White should attend my graduation tomorrow,” P’ repeated what he just said few seconds ago.

I don’t understand, “But P’—people—my parents—they will see me na khrab? Cap will also be there—what will we do?” I am so worried about the media and Captain’s safety.

P’ just calmly look at us mirroring Ai’Gun’s expression, “Grow some bones na Ai’White and—” “How can he grow bones Mark?” he was interrupted by his own boyfriend.

Captain can’t help but to chuckle while I am trying not to, “Love~” P’Mark looks at Ai’Gun and fix his hair, “It means—Ai’White should be brave na khrab.” Thank God P’ knows how to communicate with Ai’Gun.

A nod is enough for P’ to look back at me and Cap, “Going back—if people will see you together na khrab and no more hiding—I don’t think your parents will say something bad about it—not in front of publics eyes na khrab~” I am trying to process it.

“People are curious na khrab about your relationship because it’s not normal—and also because they don’t know anything about it. Now—if you will show up—show how you normally are to each other na khrab and answer some questions about your relationship—or probably post something on social media—people will stop being curious na khrab because there’s nothing to be curious anymore—” My head keeps on nodding as I slowly understand what P’ is trying to say.

“So meaning P’—we need to be in publics radar na khrab until people will stop running after us?” Captain asked with still curious and confused voice.

P’ nods once before putting his arm around Ai’Gun and pulling him near, “Exactly na khrab—” then he smirks, “Ai’White’s parents will not ruin their good image na khrab just for objecting about the relationship on public na khrab—and people will stop digging on Captain’s family na khrab and my Gun,” it’s amazing. P’Mark is trying to help us with the main motive to spare Ai’Gun away from our trouble.

If it will not ruin the mood—I might probably clap my hands now, “So—you two will attend my gradation na khrab tomorrow.” He didn’t ask us—he is commanding us.

Back to Reality

I raise my hand and wave while smiling so big.

“CAPTAIN!” I called out my boyfriend’s name.

He is talking to Ai’Toptap with someone I don’t recognize but I choice to be as bold and as obvious as possible.

In instant, Cap looks behind and search for me—or rather the source of the voice.

I didn’t wait for him to find me, I already jog towards him, “Here,” I called again before giving him a surprise bear hug.

We both chuckled by the sudden warmth but he hugs me back and hit my back for few times, “You surprised me na khrab! P’Mark didn’t tell me what time you will arrive na White~” he whispered close to my ears.

I whispered back, “That was why it’s a surprise!” before dropping a quick kiss on his cheeks and pulling out from the hug.

We interlace our fingers and face the un-amused face of Ai’Toptap and glare of one tall built guy beside Ai’Toptap while the other one looks emotionless.

“Really na khrab P’White? Right here na khrab?” Ai’Toptap asked me with his deadpan tone of voice.

Cap and I can only chuckled, “You are just jealous na khrab Ai’, go find a boyfriend~” Cap which earns us a glare.

The guy who is glaring at me since the beginning suddenly speaks up but not to me but the guy who doesn’t have any facial expression right now, “I will leave you with Ai’Toptap na khrab Tul—I just need to run to the boys—needs to inform them that the trouble maker is here,” and I am 100% sure that I am the trouble maker that he is pointing at.

The other guy sigh loudly, “You and your engineering duties—fine na khrab—I’ll stay with Ai’Toptap—I’ll show him some pictures from my faculty na khrab.”

No wonder the other guy looks mad at me—he is an engineering students. Yikes! Looks like P’Hyuk will hunt me regardless if I am in Korea or not.

Gun’s POV

I walk with Ai’Cherreen back to the main building of IC building. Yes—Mark’s cousin from Korea. She went back to Thailand yesterday to surprise Mark for his graduation. Good thing I don’t feel bad about her anymore or else I might be saying something unreasonable again.

Anyway, Ai’ wanted to go to the cafeteria to buy some Nom Yen because she haven’t had it since she arrived and she said she misses it so much and now as I said we are walking back to the main building.

“Woie P’—you should have seen P’Mark before na kah when he was still dating that old ex-boyfriend na kah. What was the name? The high school ex na kah?” I don’t know how but we suddenly talk about Mark’s ex-boyfriend.

I bit my inner cheeks because I don’t really like talking about Mark’s past. The past doesn’t really matter since I am his boyfriend now.

“Oh yeah! P’Best na kah! I remember P’Mark calling me like 12 midnight na P’Gun and was crying na kah because they decided to break up and P’Mark doesn’t want to break up—woie! I dropped the call because I don’t understand what P’Mark was talking about~” I can feel a skip on my heart beat hearing Ai’Cherreen’s random blabbing about Mark and P’Best past.

“P’Mark probably told you right P’Gun?” she asked and I feels like—“Ch—chai kharb,” answering her positively.

She nods her head and skip while walking, “P’Mark is very honest to you na P’Gun. I am glad that P’Mark found P’Gun and got together na kah—” she sounds so sincere, “People say that P’Mark is very hard to understand na kah and very intimidating but I think P’—he is just easily misunderstood by people. He makes decisions and actions that other people don’t understand—and even P’Mawin sometimes have a hard time understanding P’Mark—

Take care of P’Mark’s heart na P’Gun—he was heartbroken deeply by P’Best before—but Cherreen isn’t worried now na kah because P’Mark has P’Gun now~”

We both look in front and saw Mark in the middle of some students who want to take picture with him and giving him graduation gifts.

Not far from where he is—I saw Ai’Cap with Ai’White and Ai’Toptap and a guy I don’t recognize.

Hearing Ai’Cherreen’s story about Mark and P’Best—I feel really uncomfortable. Mark—my boyfriend told me that he loves me—that I am the only one in his heart and I said that the past didn’t matter now but why do I feel sad, worried, and in pain?

I don’t like thinking how much in love P’Best and Mark before.

I hate thinking how they probably hold hands—or probably cuddle just like last night—or when Mark tucks my hair behind my ears, or pat my head—I hate thinking that he did it before with P’Best.

I don’t like sharing the same feeling I have with other person—and that person makes Mark cries before—will he also cry for me? Will he also feel happy with me? Will he also—love me the way he loves P’Best before?

My feet brings me to where I am right now, making big steps toward Mark who looks confused that I am trying to get in the circle with his obviously fangirls.

I hate—that they are touching my boyfriend so casually.

I never know I have this kind of personality—I am like a possessed version of myself.

I stop in the middle of the sea of fangirls, “MARK SIWAT!” I yelled his name and it doesn’t matter if I say it angrily.

Most girls look at me but I locked my eyes on Mark.

‘Why does he need to always look so good na khrab?’

I feel my feet moving again until I am standing in front of him—face to face with the person that promised me to love me.

He has a weird smile on his lips, “Why?” he mouthed but can only sigh deeply.

I don’t know what to say—I don’t know why I am here—I don’t know what to do.

But there’s one thing I know, and that is how I feel for him.

“Gun—loves you na khrab—so Mark will not belong to someone else—only Gun’s!”

I forgot how to breathe, I ignore the gasping sound around me—and I ignore the sudden shocked expression of Mark.

I just—grad him by the necktie of his uniform and pull him with strong force. I didn’t close my eyes, I know I didn’t but everything went blank and dark when a soft pair of lips crashes on mine.

I didn’t see anything when a pair of hands suddenly grabs me by the waist. I don’t know—I really don’t know.

I open my mouth and let Mark’s tongue in my mouth—the feeling is so new—new in a good way.

‘! P’Hyuk will kill me na khrab if he finds out!’
