Mark’s POV

“Seriously Mark, how am I going to finish this report na khrab if you will keep on looking at them every 2 minutes na khrab?” I suddenly look back at Best and rolled my eyes in the process. How can I keep on focusing at his sheets if I will keep on seeing my wife being so close to that Nong? I don’t have any problem with her 1 hour ago but hearing that Ai’Gun used to court her—even if the reason is very ridiculous, I still cannot keep my s together.

“Call your Nong and tell her to stop being so close to my wife or I will do something na kharb,” I said with all honestly to Best which earns a deep sigh from him, “Why are you so mad about my sister na Mark? She isn’t even interested with Ai’Gun—” “How did you even know na khrab? You aren’t her!” I hope I am not raising my voice because I don’t want Ai’Gun to notice something wrong with me here. “She’s my sister—I know everything about her na khrab,” he justified and I think my friend here is forgetting something, “Knows everything? You didn’t even know na khrab how she found out that we used to date before!” there I said and I look at my back again only to see Ai’Gun smiling showing his gums and Ai’Plan is already eating the cookies that Nong Rina prepared for them.

“No Nong, it should be ‘the theory,’ you need to emphasis the khrab the letters,” is it possible that I am falling more to this person? I didn’t know that he can be so good at English—I mean he has been speaking English for the sake of Nong Heemi’s and I noticed that his pronunciation and also Ai’Cap and P’Hyuk’s pronunciation are really good. I smile, “Alaiwa P’—why do I need that na khrab? My classmates won’t even understand it na khrab so it’s okay,” and I think I know where this Nong gets her English skills—it’s the exact replica of Best English skills.

“Ai’Plan, aren’t you planning to help me na khrab here? Woie, this is so easy na khrab and you usually speak English khrab around Nong Heemi, this should be super easy for you na woie! You are such a useless friend na khrab, I should have messaged Ai’Mean instead of you na khrab,” and Ai’Gun starts to complain to his Ai’Friend that keeps on eating near them. Ai’Plan suddenly glared at Ai’Gun, “Woie! I am just hungry na khrab, why are you so against when I am eating something na Ai’Gun? And I told you to make group chat with Ai’Mean soon!” those two will always be an amusing sight for me.

Ai’Gun shakes his head violently, “No na khrab! I won’t make a group chat na khrab! I am getting tired of seeing pictures of either Ai’Mean or Ai’Plan’s vacation and topless pictures! Woie! I don’t like your boyfriend na khrab so stop sending me his pictures na woie!” I suddenly have the mental image of my wife seeing other guys upper body and I am telling you, it’s not a very good mental image, “Why did you do that na kah, P’! You shouldn’t share your husband na kah to other people!” but suddenly Nong Rina said something that should be my line but I don’t have any complain.

Ai’Plan scratches the back of his head, “I am not sharing my Mean to everyone na khrab and Ai’Gun is my friend—” “P’ kah, you need to remember this! P’Gun shouldn’t be tainted like that na kah by P’Mean’s pictures and even your pictures. He should be tainted only by P’Mark na woie and not by you P’~” I raised my eyebrow when I heard what she just said. Somehow, this girl sounds like she knows more about my feeling for Ai’Gun more than other people, “Why should I be tainted na khrab by P’Mark? Does he like to play with dirt na khrab Nong? Because P’Mark looks like a clean person na woie~” I shouldn’t laugh but I can’t help but laugh so loud but make sure to turn my face back to Best.

“Woie! Why are you laughing?” Best asked me and I have a very great idea on how to make sure that soon, my Ai’Gun will be tainted by me. I hit Best shoulder while still laughing my heart out, “Woie! Best! I didn’t—know that you can—be so funny!” I said while laughing in between my sentence and seeing Best puzzled look makes me laugh more, “Are you crazy na Mark?” he asked me loud enough to make the people behind us to hear. Again I hit his shoulder, “No one can make me laugh like this na khrab—only you~” pointed at Ai’Gun instead of Best but it looks like I am pointing at Best instead of Ai’Gun.

‘My wife na khrab, you need to be mine soon so that your P’Mark won’t need to act like crazy next time.’

White’s POV

We just finished eating lunch and now we are walking out of the house to let Cap breathe some fresh air, “White khrab, do you think it’s a good idea for my P’Hyuk to go on a vacation today?” he suddenly asked me. Finally, we are able to walk hand in hand around the neighborhood without feeling guilty or scared that his P’ or his parents will see us.

During our lunch, Cap’s parents informed us that P’Hyuk and P’Donghae are in Phuket right now for a vacation while Nong Heemi’s family is in China to visit Nong’s grandparents. Surprisingly, that Nong really has mixed blood. I thought she just likes different languages that was why she mixed them in her sentences. “I think—it’s a really good idea. Your P’ must be so stress already na khrab Cap and he needs a break,” I answered his question.

I want to assure him that everything will be okay but I won’t know what will happen in the future not unless P’Hyuk is here already and ready to talk to Cap again, “How about P’Gun? Do you think na khrab that P’Gun will abandon me? When I woke up na khrab this morning I saw him looking at me but he went outside right away and I am not sure why then when he went back inside our room na White and he just slept again,” his dilemma about his relationship with his brothers really bothers him so much. But Ai’Gun? “You know your brother more than I do—but we are talking about Ai’Gun na khrab—” I suddenly take a halt to stop walking for a while but make sure we are on the sidewalk, “Your P’—is a simple person na Cap. So—” I push some loosen strands of his hair using my other hand, “You don’t need to make things so complicated na khrab. Your P’—is probably thinking about different things right now rather than what happened to you and to your P’Hyuk na khrab,” I don’t know Ai’Gun so well but I noticed his personality.

“P’Gun is like a kid na khrab and sometimes I am worried that people will take advantage of P’—that was why I got mad at P’Mark before because he used me na khrab to get P’Gun. You know—what P’Hyuk said about me putting P’Gun into trouble is correct—and P’Gun did a lot for me even though people will see him like an easy person. I am just afraid na khrab that even P’Gun will abandon me too just like what P’Hyuk—” his shoulder instantly fell down and I make sure to squeeze his hand tighter, “but you are right na khrab White. I am thinking too much. I should talk to P’Gun later when he went back home,” I like how he smiles easily after that. Though it’s a different type of smile, but I am glad that he was able to at least smile.

I pull his hand again and both of us start to walk, “So—what should we buy na khrab? Cake? Chocolate? Milk tea? Tell me—what is my Captain’s comfort food na khrab?” there are more things that I need to learn about Cap and it feels like I am opening a Christmas gift every time I discover new things about him, “Humm—” he shakes his head, “I don’t like to eat dessert na khrab but I like Japanese food—ahhh sushi na khrab P’~” sushi? Right now? “But we just finished eating lunch na khrab Cap—are you sure?” I ate a lot because his Mae explained that Ai’Plan was supposed to go to their house but Ai’Gun called and said he will go somewhere so I ate a lot and Bpaa’s cooking is really good.

“You asked me and now you don’t want na woie? Then let’s go back already!” see—he is throwing tantrums now. I laugh, “I am just asking na Cap. Come on, let’s get my car so that we can go somewhere far to eat sushi na khrab,” but in the end I can’t afford to make him upset so regardless if I eat a lot or now, my stomach will always have space for Captain’s cravings.

Hyuk’s POV

Hae and I lay on the spare mattress from the hotel and put it on the balcony so that the two of us can watch the stars. Today is probably the most peaceful day and fun day I have with my boyfriend since we arrived here in Thailand and it’s vice versa, “Oh—oh—look Hyukkie—look~” Hae pointed at the starts and starts to trace something on it, “See that Hyukkie—it’s like heart shape,” he said when he finish tracing.

I didn’t really see it but his adorable smile is so contagious, “Neh~” I answered and pull Hae’s waist to make him closer to me. His head is already resting on my arm but I want to make him closer to me, “I don’t see a lot of starts in Bangkok—and also in Korea,” he mumbled and I put my face on top of his head and smell it, “Humm—because it’s so polluted in Bangkok—the smoke is making it impossible for people to see the stars—just like in Korea,” I answered him in a sensible way and Hae agreed right away, “You are right Hyukkie. My boyfriend is so smart,” before he put his own arms around my waist too and hug me.

The silence is very comforting but there’s something bothering me since this morning and all I want is to make it up to him, “Hae—” I called him but I didn’t remove my chin on his head, “Hum?” he hummed and I quickly say, “Minhae,” because I need to say that word. Hae instantly giggles, “Why are you saying sorry Hyukkie?” I feel his every movement because of our position, “Because I feel guilty Hae for what I did to you—” I sigh before finally letting him free but he shakes his head, “No—I like to cuddle,” he protested.

I pull him again in my embrace, “Ai’Krist—do you remember him?” I suddenly asked him, “Neh—he is the boyfriend of your friend, neh?” I am glad that Hae seems to like my friends too. “Yup, he is Ai’Singto’s boyfriend. There was something that he told me last week that bothers me now~” I need to confess something because our relationship is like this. An honest, open relationship, “He told me that I hurt you—” “You hurt me!?” Hae suddenly pulled out from me and I got so shocked by the sudden movement. He raised his head to stare at my eyes, “When?” he asked me again.

I chuckled because Hae will always be my paranoid boyfriend. He doesn’t like it when people don’t like him or when people say something negatively about me or him or about our relationship, “Hae—my lovely Hae—you need to listen first to me—okay?” he nods his head but his eyes are full of curiosity—just like Ai’Gun when he wants to know something.

“I didn’t mean to—make you feel like you are an outsider in my family when I promised you in Korea that you will always be part of it. When I—got mad at you because you helped my brothers and told you that—you shouldn’t intervene with my family matter because you weren’t part of it—believe when I say that I didn’t mean it. Ai’Krist told me that I hurt you more because of my harsh words and it shouldn’t be like that because we are in a relationship. I was just so stubborn to listen to everyone Hae. I want to be with you—you created a new home for me in Korea and—” I smile when I suddenly remember what my Pa told me before, “I love you—more than you can imagine.”

The best price right now is seeing that genuine smile from his lips and I know I am seeing the brightest star but not in the sky but right in front of me, “How did you know Hyukkie—that you know—you want to be with me?” He suddenly asked and this time I didn’t pull him anymore to my embrace but I hold his hand, “My Pa told me before that you will only be sure about a person when you can see your future with that person,” I said with smile on my face remembering something.

Hae tilt his head a bit, “Have you—seen your?” he needs to give more credits to himself, “Yes, I did!” he bit his lower lips, “When?” I want to laugh because I can read him so well. Right now, he isn’t sure if I see my future with him or not, “In an amusement park—this person arrived so late and everyone was in front of the entrance already. A kid suddenly called this person and when I look—I see my future—with you Lee Donghae—walking towards me—inside the church—on our wedding day,” when I saw him that day—I knew for sure that Lee Donghae is the person I want to spend the rest of my life with.

“With—me?” he points his finger to himself and I laugh, “Neh—and you cannot imagine how I pursued Heechul hyung to set us up again,” that’s how sure am I to Hae—and that’s how my world revolves around him after. People will laugh about our relationship and call us with different names but in my life—I was never been so sure of something—not until I’ve met Lee Donghae.

Sooooooo the men are pouring their hearts out for Gun, Cap, and Hae. TT_TT
