[T/N] I apologize for grammar mistakes and incoherencies
Chapter 21:
Nubsib POV:
I handed the car keys to Gene to the man who came rushing in, peeking over my shoulder slightly to avoid any mistakes. Gene drove his car out of the hotel's premises and then turned back towards his own car.
Opening the door, I saw a cute and adorable living being sitting stiff.
Immediately, my eyebrows raised. As I reached out to touch the soft round cheek on the other side, it jerked, “Sib.”
“What's the matter?”
“Umm, nothing.”
The strange behavior made me worry. We had just talked and I didn't think there would be any problems. The person beside me seemed like the type who didn't think about anything, but when they did, their imagination ran wild and far, making it exhausting.
“What are you thinking with that expression? About Aey?”
I asked, but just hearing this name made the person beside me react with widened eyes and a worried expression.
“Before…you drank...”
“Yes?”
“Oh... nothing.”
“...”
I looked around and knew something was amiss, but asking wouldn't likely get a response, so even though he didn't say anything further, I reached for the seat belt and then turned to change gears.
While driving on the wide road, the person sitting beside me gazed strangely, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it. While waiting at the traffic light at the intersection, I decided to take out my phone to text Saimok to wait a moment. On one side, a quick response came back.
Aey had a problem, I knew. Even though we were friends, we weren't close. Another thing... he wouldn't let anyone know or get involved in his problems. The person who understood the most right now... was Saimok.
'I asked but he didn't answer. Just keep saying, ask Phii Gene'
After looking at the message on the screen, I put my phone back in its place. I glanced at the person next to me, but they quickly turned away as if nothing was wrong. They looked cute and mischievous that I had to suppress a smile to keep calm.
“Are you hot? Do you want the AC on?”
The person turned to look immediately, “Not at all. Are you hot?”
“Umm...”
“Are you hot? Is it too hot and uncomfortable?”
“Just a little.”
“Hurry, drive home quickly.”
I looked at the white hands lifting to accelerate, as the traffic light turned green, I stepped on the accelerator slightly to increase speed a bit. Arriving at the condo, Gene opened the door and quickly got out of the car. As I was turning off the engine, he walked over to open the door for me. The front door stared at me, not allowing my gaze to wander.
Even though I reached the top, I refused to go back to my room.
“You should take a shower now, a cold shower is good. Save electricity.”
“No problem. It's just a little bit of electricity.”
“In the car, the air was hot. A cold shower is better.”
“...”
“Your skin won't dry out.”
“...”
“Help burn fat too.”
I chuckled, “Sure, cold water is cold.”
Gene smiled with satisfaction, almost following my every move until I entered the bathroom and closed the door.
Because I didn't want the other person to wait, I chose to walk in quickly under the shower. However, the temperature of the water that started spraying from head to toe was not as cold as Gene had said, it was warm and suitable.
“Is the cold water nice? Refreshing?”
The hesitant whisper made me turn to look at the door, seeing the shadow of someone standing outside coming closer and closer.
How cute...
“It's good.”
“Hmm, then it's good.”
After a while, I tidied up and grabbed a towel to wrap around my waist. Walking back outside, I saw Gene sitting at the end of the bed, reading something on his phone. Hearing the sound of the door, he quickly placed the phone down and got up to stand near me.
Seeing this, I smiled slightly, “Khun Gene, you can go shower next. There are new towels in the closet so you don't have to waste time going back to get them.”
“Thank you...feeling refreshed now?”
“Yes, very much so.”
The face of the listener relaxed, looking curious, he nodded and walked to grab a new clean towel to use from the closet, then took the opportunity to search for a shirt to change into. When he bowed his head only his hip and slender legs emerged from the side of the towel, resembling a little hamster searching for sunflower seeds in a bowl of rice. Seeing this, I smiled, not saying anything about him grabbing things without asking.
As that figure disappeared into the bathroom, I glanced at the other person's cell phone screen on the bed. The screen was still bright, with the Google app open. Seeing a message pop up from the corner, the owner automatically raised it high.
Does sex arousal medication really work?
“Nubsib!”
The door that had just been closed was pulled open again in less than a minute.
“Yes?”
“You didn't use cold water in here, there's still hot water!” Looking at the confused face poking out from the frame, I raised my eyebrows and pretended to be innocent, responding in a calm voice mixed with a touch of pity.
“The water was too cold, I felt chilly.”
“You're stubborn!”
The bathroom door slammed shut, followed by the sound of wet footsteps hitting the floor as someone walked out. I took advantage of this moment to quickly get dressed before stepping out to sit on the edge of the bed, waiting.
One hand held my own phone while the other held Gene's phone, spinning it gently.
Sex stimulant pills... from Aey.
Knock!
The bathroom door swung open again, and the familiar figure that stepped out emitted the same scent of soap.
My t-shirt and shorts looked a bit loose on Gene, making the other party appear even skinnier, like a tiny animal being compared to me. The contrast in height and body size made me feel slightly uncomfortable.
I gently grasped the hand that was standing still, pulling the other person close for a hug, squeezing tightly according to my mood.
What I did was smile slightly while glancing sideways.
“Khun Gene, are you sleeping in my room today?”
“Uh.”
The other person walked in and paused, standing between us, still looking at me.
“How strange.”
“Strange? what's strange, it's not like it's going to help, if you're like this, then I...”
“Like this? What do you mean?”
“Nothing, just go to sleep.”
“Okay.”
Gene still couldn't stop staring at me with a bewildered look, but his hand reached out to touch the soft cotton fabric and then lay down next to me, slightly narrowing his eyes when he saw that the king-size bed was too large, leaving a gap of several centimeters between us.
I didn't move closer, choosing to stay in my position, just turning my head to face the other person.
Gene had already turned to face me. His large round eyes staring clearly in the darkness. Even as I looked, his gaze didn't avoid mine like it usually did.
“...”
“...”
Seeing that kind of attitude, I couldn't help but breathe out lightly.
“What? What is it?”
“I feel like...it's getting hot.”
“Huh!? Really?”
“...”
Seeing the person I liked lying next to me, it was easy for the temperature to rise without any pretense.
The person lying beside me lifted his elbow and propped himself up, one hand reaching towards my forehead, but before they could touch me, they pulled back. Our eyebrows knitted together in confusion, a soft murmur in the air.
“It's really good...”
“...”
“Let's go to the hospital.” Gene shifted and sat up. After turning on the bedside lamp switch, both of his hands reached out to grab my arms with all his strength, pulling me until my body flipped over, lying on top of his upper body. My face was nestled in his stomach, just right, but before I could do anything, my original arm was hit along with my shoulder, pushing them away, “What are you doing!?”
I raised my eyebrows, cutting in with a glare, “Khun Gene, you seem different.”
“I'm really worried about you, get up and see a doctor quickly.”
“Huh? See a doctor for what?”
“You said you were feeling hot.”
“Feeling hot to the point of needing to see a doctor?”
“...”
“Umm.” When the other person refused to respond, I frowned and shifted slightly, pulling the remaining blanket off my body. At that moment, Gene lowered his voice as he asked me
“Actually...”
“Yes?”
“The Mohito you drank instead of me, Nong Aey said it had sex pills mixed in it.” As he spoke, he bowed his head down, seemingly feeling guilty, causing me to raise my eyebrows. I already knew, but still sounded confused.
“Sex pills?”
“Yes.”
“No way. Where would Aey get sex pills from?”
“Really?”
“Yes. If you're wondering, I didn't pick it up and drink it.” I smiled, reaching out my hand to release the grip on my other arm and gently turned my body away. Our eyebrows knitted together, making the onlookers constantly show bewildered faces.
“Lies. If there weren't any drugs in the drink why would you be flustered like this?”
“How am I trying to escape?”
“If it was just a normal friend, it wouldn't be like this. I came to sleep with you today, and you still haven't pestered me for a hug.”
I almost burst out laughing when I heard it, even though I wasn't under the influence of any drugs, but I still felt the urge to suppress a soft chuckle with all my might, “Do you want a hug, then?”
The other person stared blankly, then realized what was said, “No way! You are okay, isn't it?”
“Alright then. I'll give you a tight hug later.”
Gene narrowed his eyes, “Why not hug now?”
“...”
“It means you're uncomfortable, right? Don't pretend to be a good person. Just tell me.”
“...”
“Nubsib!” A faint voice of protest was heard, seemingly sympathetic, wanting to comfort, but another part wanted to see this kind of awkward and anxious situation a little longer.
I looked at Gene's face, then relaxed my smile, “I'm going to the bathroom for a bit.”
“Taking a shower? You already showered earlier. If it's still not feeling well, taking another shower won't do any good, Nong Aey said it would be intense.”
“...”
“If you're not going to see a doctor, then take care of yourself, or else...”
“It's okay. Khun Gene, go to sleep.”
“Crazy. If you're like this, I'll...”
“I told you it's nothing, Khun Gene, you got tricked by Aey...”
My eyes widened slightly when the person sitting quietly on the bed suddenly jumped up, grabbed my arms and pulled me towards the bed. I didn't have time to react. As I lay down on the bed, the person quickly moved up and put both hands on both sides of my head, close to Gene's ears. Both were lying close together, facing each other.
His voice sharply scolded, “What are you trying to say!”
“I...”
“No need to say anything.” The brave person looked at me, calm and composed. He took a deep breath, chest rising and falling, “I will help you myself.”
“...”
I hesitated.
If not for being drunk, this is the second time that Gene has been the one to approach me first. The other hand, like an adult but hesitant and shy, everything about him's name matches with all of his feelings and emotions, except for love. When being approached in such a hesitant manner, I acted cold towards him until the room fell silent for a moment.
The certainty in his face made me unable to deny his accusation, “Are you going to do things with me again? Are you not afraid of being tricked by me?”
“If you trick me this time, I will shout for help, not just run into the bathroom.”
“...”
I raised my hand to gently touch the cheek of the other party, using my fingertips along the skin. Cute, kind-hearted... and somewhat shy.
“No.”
The person listening frowned immediately, “Why?”
“Khun Gene, you don't have to force yourself to do it.”
“I am not forcing myself, it's just... um, I will just use my own hands.” Just saying this made my Gene seem embarrassed. He pursed his lips, then quickly relaxed and continued, “I don't think I want to do it for someone else, but I agreed to help because if you weren't going to drink that Mojito at that time, I was going to be.”
“It's okay, Khun Gene, that's good.”
“Don't act like a hero.”
I turned my face slowly, “And... right now, Khun Gene, you still haven't accepted my love, so it's like you are being taken advantage of.”
“I am not being taken advantage of, I offered to help.”
“...”
“You're just...” When he saw that I didn't respond, the person in front of me looked even more troubled. His cheeks seemed to puff up more than before, and from kneeling he sat down on my stomach instead. The act of revealing himself in this playful manner made it necessary to resist firmly.
“Actually... you already know how I feel, don't you?”
I focused on controlling myself almost to the point of not hearing the faint sigh from the other person. When I moved my gaze to look, the large eyes staring at me looked away immediately. In the room that was once dimly lit, with only the faint orange light from the lamp revealing a shadowy figure, the redder the cheeks looked, the more they bloomed. His hands seemed unsure where to place them, so he awkwardly spread his legs, showing a sense of awkwardness.
Seeing that, my heart felt like a clay pot being melted by fire. The sound that he made was breathless.
“What are you thinking?”
“I've already told you, you know.”
“I want to hear it again. I can't remember.”
“...”
“Khun Gene, you said we would be hugging each other tight by this time, and you did speak loudly.”
“This is so embarrassing.” Gene looked embarrassed, but then unexpectedly did something I never expected by bending down and coming close, both arms embracing and holding onto my shoulders. His voice was so soft that it was almost a whisper, “Like.”
“...”
“Like you.” The cute voice raised a notch.
“...”
“I like you...hey! Didn't you hear me?” This time, the person speaking raised his eyebrows and turned his head to look. The initially blank expression on his face quickly changed to a glare, and he waved his hands in frustration, “Hey! If you heard me, then answer! Why do you let others talk multiple times while pretending to be asleep?”
“Sorry, I got a little carried away.” I said with a chuckle.
“...silly.”
Seeing this adorable gesture, I smiled even wider than before, with a genuine smile reflecting my own emotions and feelings at that moment. Gene probably didn't know that just a few short words could make me feel so full and overwhelmed with feelings.
In my line of sight, I only saw the figure of a person directly in front of me, whether at that time, now, or at any other time.
Over the years of thinking about it, I dared to admit that I was so attached to Gene that I couldn't see anyone else, even until now. When you realize that the one you've been thinking about all this time is just like yourself, it's just a small matter between two people, but it feels like conquering the world and holding it in your hands...and the whole world of mine is right in front of me, this close.
I held the hand that was still resting on my body, then leaned in closer to lightly touch my lips to the other person's lips.
“Khun Gene, you are someone who speaks for yourself, so no changing your mind, okay?”
“Well, I am speaking for myself...”
“Yes?”
“Are you okay now?”
“...”
He is still worried about this?
The person lying on top of me, the embarrassment on their face that had faded at first changed to a slight worry. Even though their cheeks were still red, their eyes were wandering around, “Right now, for you...”
“Oh! It's not because of any drugging, it's because you are so cute”
“...” Gene’s brows furrowed together, showing clearly that he was hesitating, but then suddenly did something by reaching out to touch the edge of my stretchy pants. Meanwhile, he said, “I searched on Pantip (Thai Reddit). Some medicines won't work obviously if you take them. If you are too embarrassed to go to the hospital, I'll help you myself”
“Khun Gene, wait a minute...” I raised my hand in protest
“...”
The person in front refused to listen, pulled his hand away, and shifted his sitting position lower
His innocent, unintentional teasing attitude made me both hot and unbearable. Finally, I gritted my teeth and said to him, “I told you before, didn't I? If you start to do this again, I won't change my mind next time?”
Gene still didn't care to listen. One part of his heart didn't want to compete with the genuine concern of the other side, but his hot and restless fingers brushing against my body from the sudden movement destroyed everything in my head. His body jerked quickly before his mind could catch up. He grabbed my wrist and pulled it close, turning me around to lean back against the bed and press his knees on both sides above my slender legs under my shorts
He took off his shirt by themselves
“Nubsib...”
I couldn't help the smile at the corner of my mouth, “Alright, you want to help?”
“...”
“Then help me a little with some force.”
“I will... ah!?”
At one point, Gene's body stiffened, their lips softened as if to say something to me, but I chose to bend down and use my own tongue to touch first. I closed off the other person before he could object, lingered until I heard a muffled sound, then changed to gently touch the corner of the lips. My hand slid under the shirt Gene was wearing, dragging my fingers smoothly on the warm flesh
I took off the shirt of the person under me a little. As the collar of the shirt slipped over their head, I saw their confused face with flushed cheeks
My body slipped in between his white slender legs, pressing our bare flesh against each other, using my own leg to tease the middle of his body until the person beneath me trembled. As I saw Gene’s eyes starting to blur with emotion, I smiled
“Uh, Nub... Sib”
“...”
My eyes scoured the twisted body as if wanting to escape. The legs crossed tightly, trying to hide the bulging force, so the two of them pressed closer to each other.
“Hey...what are you doing, I said I would help...”
“Exactly like this.”
“In this way, it's...um...”
I lowered my hand down low, using my fingertips to grip the edge of the stretchy shorts that the other person was wearing. Since it was a pajama set, he didn't have any underwear on, as the struggle earlier revealed a cute organ that popped up when left uncovered.
Gene looked cute from every angle, even as the direct contact made him blush pink. Before he could touch, the owner of it pulled his legs close together to hide them, causing his voice to tremble as if just realizing.
“Wait...wait, what are you going to do, why do I have to take off my shorts...”
“I am letting you help, aren't I?”
“Then it should be me helping, not you.”
“Khun Gene, you also need some help, right?” I gently used my hand to cup the back of the bent knee to separate the legs, but the other side resisted with all their might. I looked at the soft lips moving closer to each other and then bent down to lightly touch the soft flesh of the knee with my nose, then used the tip of my tongue to lick it slowly, moving the hand that cupped the soft buttocks lightly.
“I just...”
I smiled and gently caressed with my hand, “Khun Gene, you said you would help, but I don't want to do it alone.”
“...”
“Please.”
“I...um.” The shaky voice turned into a soft whisper in the throat as I leaned in closer to the ear, moving my shoulder to avoid the neck, the reaction making me kiss the cheek multiple times without stopping, even holding the body back while using my hand to gently touch to relax the other person and make them spread their legs for me to thoroughly explore every corner.
“Wait, let me...Nub…Nubsib.”
“What's up?”
“Are we...really going to do this?”
“...”
In my head, it seemed to hear the heavy beat of a heartbeat at one particular rhythm.
The eyes that spooned into mine and the red face of the person beneath me seemed to push me down deep, while my whole body ached so much that I almost wanted to bury it against the warm flesh inside of Gene right now.
“Please.”
“...”
“And we will do it with all the strength we promised.”
The wide-open eyes of the listener said, “Hey...uh!”
I closed his mouth with the edge of my own lips.
Seizing the opportunity, I gently pressed my legs down and partly released from the armor of protection, but I did not rush for fear that the other person would be more surprised than this. Knowing well that if Gene cried and told me to stop, I would have to force myself to stop all of this for sure, but because I didn't want that, I touched the edge of my lips to the beloved one again to prevent the other party from having time to think.
Soothingly slowly, I breathed out for a moment to make it easier to breathe before cuddling and snuggling together again, even sniffing the soap scent that was still faintly on the skin.
Until the cute little blossoming nipple which I kissed gently and a soft moaning sound followed.
“Uh, Nub...”
My shoulders were tightly squeezed by Gene's hand. As I sucked and used my tongue to trace the nipples of the chest gently, and his nails gently pressed down, I moved my other hand up to stroke gently, feeling that both nipples had to be taken care of equally. When I pressed his finger down and changed to squeezing and pulling, Gene’s body shuddered.
“Does this make you feel more than before?”
“...”
“Huh?”
“...” The person being asked did not reply, but his lips seemed to hold back the sound. With closed eyes, he did not know where to close any of the paths. The other side would see more clearly.
Seeing the inexperienced posture, I chuckled lightly in my throat, pulled off the pajamas that were originally on.
Gene still had his eyes closed. His hand moved to pull the nearby blanket until it was tightly crumpled, so the other party did not see me move closer to his lovely shaft. Using my fingers to lightly tickle, that's when he started to startle. Planning to hide again, but I used my shoulder to block it and lifted one white leg up to open him wider.
Scrubbing that part up and down slowly, not in a hurry. Using the tip of my thumb to press on the cute tip until the clear water droplets could be seen.
“Uh...”
My face was not far off as my hand moved towards the soft buttocks on the soft bed. Maybe because his front part was being teased, Gene looked like he was being sucked out of his body. The sensitive gesture seemed like a person unfamiliar with sex.
Seeing the cute fresh pinkie hole, and I moved my face closer, it nearly kissed the outer edge of the hole softly, then gently sucked until a trace appeared.
“What are you doing!” Gene must have felt my breath blowing against his pinkie and could feel himself.
Because his legs were up, he couldn't bring them closer together.
“...”
“Nubsib! Stop, it's...uh!”
I didn't say anything, and I didn't feel disgust at the tight hole that was tightening from the tension.
“Hey...damn it, ohh”
The soft, suppressed moans of Gene sounded so tantalizing, with his arms raised and covering his face. I couldn't resist but to withdraw my tongue and keep it under control. An hour ago, I was eager to explore his body completely, in every corner and every nook, but if I let it go for longer than that, I would eventually lose control and unintentionally become aggressive towards the other person.
I pulled my face away regretfully, moving to open my mouth and reach out for a bottle of slippery gel.
Placing it on my palm, I massaged that part of myself and then slid towards the trembling body of the other person lying between my legs. I saw it flow along the groove, seemingly covered with a large storm from my eyes.
“Oh...”
“Gene, don't be tense.”
The fingertip that had wandered first was squeezed hard before being inserted in with force.
“Tightly...tight.” As I listened to those shaky sounds, I stopped for a moment, switching to a slow, soothing massage.
“It's okay, just a moment.”
Suddenly feeling the tension ease as I pushed my finger in again, turned my hand palm up and gently searched for a calm touch. The person lying there, appearing to be in pain, twitched slightly.
“Ouch!”
I moved my hand back, feeling the softness almost pulling me back. I leaned in to kiss the other person's lips again, this time slowly, allowing him to relax. I moved my hand to caress one side and hold the other under the hip to support it, syncing with the gentle push from the other person.
Even just the tip of my lathered shaft, Gene pressed the tip of his finger against my shoulder until it hurt.
“Ouch...Sib.”
“Just endure a little longer.”
“It hurts.”
“I know...I know.”
Seeing the wet eyelashes and the clear tears rolling down from the corner of my eye, my heart softened. I stopped everything for a moment, and gently caressed the small, wet face with my free hand.
Kissing and using my tongue to touch the wet, salty, pungent taste, Gene's heavy, lingering breathing began to lighten.
Knowing that the other person was still enduring, no matter how much sympathy I felt, there was no way to make the other person not hurt at all. I added more lube. As I continued to move forward, knowing that the other party was suffering, I also endured.
Close contact until it feels just right, feeling like Gene’s inside is squeezing me to become the same shape as my own shaft, still smiling even though the tension is real, trying to control oneself so that the subconscious mind does not reveal the fear that wants to burst out strongly, seeing the big eyes that blink quickly, noting the small hidden smiles, I said in a hoarse voice.
“I am full all the way.”
“...”
“Do you feel it?”
The listener stayed silent.
I stop still waiting for a moment, before slowly moving my hips, seeing Gene's frowning brows moving closer due to the remaining tension but slowly loosening as time and familiarity help.
“Ah...ah!”
I endure the movement with a slow hesitation, before gradually increasing the speed.
“Gene... Gene.”
My hand moves to support the other side’s buttocks to absorb the impact, hearing the voice of the person whom I was inside of shouting along with the throbbing in the throat, as if wanting to hide the feeling.
The sound of flesh and gel colliding sounds rough and smooth, but it makes every part of the feeling warm.
“Sib, it's...too big.”
“...”
“Gently...ah!”
I accidentally thrust deeply for a moment, hearing a high-pitched scream, I moved pulling my shaft out almost completely before plunging back in, my heavy voice unable to hold back, “Who taught you to talk so vulgarly like this?”
“I...didn't.”
The flashing light makes me stretch above, seeing everything on the other side, the face and body turning red, the eyes that were once sharp now shrouded with mist, I move both hands to grab around the waist, the rhythm of the deep hip movement, the strong gaze looking at the swaying figure with fascination, staring at Gene's face that now shows all emotions, imprinting it in my mind.
“Gene, do you know...how long have I been waiting for this day?”
“Ugh...”
“Call my name, just once. Let me know that I am doing my best for you, Khun Gene.”
“...”
“Well, what's up? Who's doing his best for you, Khun Gene?”
“Ugh, Sib.”
“...”
“Nubsib...”
Hearing the familiar voice of Gene that is louder now, helps reinforce that I am touching, existing in this body, clinging closely to the person I have been thinking about all along.
My body leaned in to hug the other person tightly, while Gene hugged me back. My toes curled in excitement as I heard a cute, small moan next to my ear. Before my hips moved closer together with Gene’s for the final time.
As my shaft is closely embedded inside of him, I know for sure that the person in front of me belongs to me completely.
As my shaft is closely embedded inside of him, I know for sure that the person in front of me belongs to me completely.
Chapter 22:
Heavy…
I felt myself waking up because of the pressure on my waist. My brows furrowed slightly. When I slowly opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was the glass door on the balcony covered with dark curtains. The sunlight shone through in strips.
I stared at the curtain in silence. The curtains in my room are not this color. Certainly, the furnishings around me are too. I looked down at my waist and saw the arms hugging me tightly.
“...”
The warm, shallow breath of the person lying behind me blew on my neck.
The touch of the body lying next to mine made my face blush, as the memories of the soft pillow began to warm my cheeks.
Last night...
I pursed my lips tightly, not surprised by anything because I had full consciousness. I just felt more flustered. I already told Nubsib yesterday that I like him. It may be a strange period and situation, but I told him genuinely that I still remember the look of Nubsib when he heard my true feelings.
I have no experience with love because I do not feel and do not have confidence in myself. But considering many things before. Sometimes... I might like Nubsib after all.
In reality, I really do write a boy love novel, but I never thought that the person I like the most would be a man. I never thought about the details of who would be the dominant or submissive in bed if we were together. Last night, I saw the tenderness of Nong Aey offering a glass to me and paying for it, hoping to drink it. I was not thinking that the other party might mix or put something in it. It was a big deal, not thinking that this junior would dare.
It turned out that Sib, who was the one drinking instead of me, also encountered a problem on my behalf.
I'm thinking too little again...
At first, when I found out, I was so angry at Nong Aey that I almost wanted to call and scold him. But because I was more worried about Nubsib, I was at a loss for what to do.
So I felt really guilty and offered to help Nubsib as soon as I saw him in that condition, so now even though it has become like this, I don't feel sad at all.
“Oh... damn.”
A groan sounded immediately as I moved. The muscle aches and stiffness attacked me mercilessly.
I wanted to go to the bathroom, so I reluctantly reached out to pull Nubsib's arm out for the first time, intending to push him away because of this pain. However, I thought that the other person might wake up and I wasn't ready to face them directly, so I chose to do something light first.
But before I could move, his heavy arm wrapped around me tightly as usual.
“...!?”
“Where are you going?”
The soft whispering voice became louder near my ears. I teased the goosebumps on my skin, “Count...”
“We better sleep a little longer.”
“I...”
I couldn't think of anything to say, although the other person didn't do anything, my face was heating up.
“Still too early.”
“You're not going to work?”
“Gene.”
“Oh?”
“Today is Sunday.”
“...”
My face flushed, but it was fortunate that the person sleeping behind me didn't see.
“Not going to work today, I'll be with you all day.”
But now I want to be alone.
Just last night such a thing happened. How can I face another person and talk to them about it?
“I...I want to take a shower.”
“Later…” While talking, the thick hand placed near me lifted up to stroke my small belly gently, “Before going to bed, I wiped your entire body. I also cleaned you inside and out.”
“...”
“You're clean all over now.”
“Nubsib!”
Damn brat!
I raised one hand to push away the handsome face that came close to speaking clearly, even though I was about to leave, but that irritating sentence deliberately made me feel like I was putting my face on hot coals.
I heard a light chuckle in my throat, then that hand was pulled towards me for a gentle kiss.
Damn, what a troublesome kid.
“Just wait and we can shower in the evening.”
“Either way, I just want to stay in the bathroom.”
As soon as I said that, the other person was heard muttering in the background. Nubsib quickly sat up, using a thick blanket to cover himself and supporting his head with his hands.
“Hey!?”
I flinched, trying to hide my exposed body, realizing that I wasn't wearing any clothes. Faster than I thought, I stiffened my legs to prevent the other person from seeing my lower naked body, but had to cry out because the coldness spread all the way to my back muscles.
“Ouch!”
“Being embarrassed is fine, but don't hurt yourself, okay?”
“Is it not because of you?”
Nubsib's sharp eyes softened slightly, “Then let me apply medicine for you.”
“No need!”
Nubsib pursed his lips, his eyes gleaming deeply.
The other person carried me and put me down standing in front of a clean, white sink. When my foot touched the floor, I felt a slight tremor in my legs. The pain gradually subsided as I clenched my teeth and endured it. I pointed towards the door to signal for the other person to leave immediately.
Once Nubsib’s tall, proportionate figure was gone, I could relax and breathe more easily. I stood there for personal hygiene and once finished and timidly walked towards the sink, trying to ignore the numerous red marks on my body. I simply brushed my waist with my
Upon opening the bathroom door, I only exposed my head to him.
“Sib, can I borrow a shirt?”
“Sure.”
The owner of the room walked over to the cabinet to find a white shirt and shorts for me to wear comfortably. After arranging everything neatly, he reappeared and Nubsib asked me, “Aren't you going to sleep?”
“I'm awake, no longer sleepy.”
“Then have some food and take some painkillers.”
Nubsib led me outside, telling me to sit comfortably on the good quality sofa. As he walked over to make a phone call, I saw him leave a note asking someone to buy breakfast for us. When he came back up, I saw a bag with the scent of porridge and fried doughnuts, wafting through the room.
Without saying much, he walked over to embrace me and sat at the dining table in the kitchen again. I had no need to walk by myself, there was someone carrying me back and forth, although initially there was some hesitation, but eventually we didn't say anything anymore. Just sitting there comfortably.
“Take the medicine.”
“Thank you... So are you feeling okay now?” Seeing the medicine after taking a sip of water, I remembered another medicine.
“Okay, what is it?”
“Well... the medicine from last night.”
“...”
Initially, Nubsib didn't say anything. Then he let out a light breath and with a smile said, “Hey.”
My heart eased a bit. After we... finished like that, I wasn't sure when I fell asleep, didn't know if the side effects of that drug were still there. As much as I read novels and watched movies, one round of being drugged was not enough.
But reality and novels are different. Before this, I was still wondering whether the sex-enhancing drug really existed in the world because I wrote books, so I had the opportunity to investigate this issue often. I've read similar things before that sex-enhancing drugs are just substances that make you physically aroused, not about any sexual desires.
But Nubsib found that to be quite annoying, and Nong Aey even added on to that.
“Gene.”
“...”
“Gene.”
“Huh?” I was a bit startled when one of my cheeks was lightly tugged, “What?”
“I asked you...”
“Wait a minute.” I raised my hand to stop him, “Did you call me Gene?”
The person's eyebrows slightly raised with a confused look on his face, “Yes, your name is Gene.”
“Don't meddle with me! I don't know who gave you the right to call me by my first name alone.”
“No one gave me the right, I called you that myself.”
“...”
I put the glass of water in my hand down and reached out to touch the cheek of the other person, as the other person often did to me. Meanwhile, dragging in a slow, clear voice, “I'm not as old as you. Am I right?”
But Nubsib withdrew my hand and interlaced his fingers with mine, smiling slyly as he played with a glint in his eyes.
“Hey, I am your lover.”
“Lover, not a friend.”
“Okay. If you don't want to be called Gene...”
“...?”
“Between a wife and a lover, which do you prefer?”
I quickly pulled my hand away and said, “Call me Gene!”
The person sitting on the opposite side of the bed had already turned his face away, but my ears couldn't escape the sound of a light chuckle followed by the sound of chair legs moving. Before I could even set myself up, I had to reach out and hug the tall figure as Nubsib grabbed my neck and pulled me on his shoulder. As the other person leaned down to hug my head and forced me to lean in again, I didn't even have a chance to ask where he was taking me before Nubsib took me into the bedroom.
“In the meantime, rest for a while.”
I sat leaning against the head of the bed while Nubsib sat on the edge of the bed, leaning in close with his sharp eyes staring. His soft voice rose again, “I'll keep you company.”
The corners of my mouth tightened, making it difficult to lift them.
“Um...”
…
The sky brightened.
I walked out of the bedroom, closing the door as quietly as possible.
The curtain by the balcony door in the living room was left open, allowing the morning sunlight to shine in without having to turn on any lights. I walked straight to the kitchenette to boil water for coffee.
While waiting, I refreshed myself by washing my face and eyes. I opened the top cabinet and grabbed some bread to eat. Nubsib's room had almost everything to eat, and I didn't have to buy anything myself because it was the housekeeper's duty when the owner was not there. I had encountered her before, as if she were a cleaning company.
When I opened the bedroom door, I was surprised and almost died, but she quickly greeted me and called me Gene, asking what else I needed until I found out that it was Nubsib who had ordered her.
Looks like that kid is going to be a real prince soon.
...this is what he said, that you can compete in sailing and rowing, but not in merit and reverence.
Smooch!
“Hey!”
The knife I was using to spread the bread almost slipped from my hand.
I stood there peacefully until I was startled when someone pressed their heavy nose against my cheek.
“Sib! What are you playing at? I'll stab you with this knife”
The other person didn't care. His soft voice whispered as if whispering in my ear, “Why are you waking up early today, Khun Gene?”
I blinked, “I went to bed at three last night, when did you come back?”
“Almost five.”
“I couldn't see or hear anything! It's too uncomfortable here!”
But Nubsib still didn't seem to care as he scooted closer and leaned both arms on the counter, resting his chin on my shoulder. Then he spoke in a smooth tone, sounding a bit sleepy, “Are you going to stay in the room and continue to write all day again?”
“I do that every day.”
“Then wait for me today. I'll come back to get you for lunch.”
I thought for a moment. Finally, I nodded, “Okay.”
It's been over a week since the incident happened. Just by spending one day with Nubsib in that room, I didn't go back to my own room to sleep anymore. I'm not sure why I followed Nubsib's lead in such a dazed manner.
I used to be okay with being alone, but ever since this kid persuaded me to stay over, I've been living with Nubsib. Being with Nubsib... feels warm. He never disturbs me while I work, and the furniture in this room is more convenient.
“What time are you going to the film set today?”
“At three in the afternoon.”
“Oh! I see.”
I nodded and put a bread wrapper at the end of the counter. But when I was about to open the top cabinet to put something away, Nubsib used one hand to take it and deal with it. With the other hand, he gently patted my shoulder to make me turn and look at him.
His lips immediately pressed down on mine. His warm tongue slipped in, and I could smell the clean, minty scent of toothpaste as I breathed. When I turned my face away, Sib kissed the corner of my mouth firmly.
I quickly pushed him away and said, “Sib, stop. You can't do this…this early.”
My heart has been working hard since this morning.
“Good morning, how about a kiss? Have you never read about that in novels?”
“...”
Seeing him smile mischievously, I scowled and pulled Nubsib's arms away from my waist. Pointing to the table, I said, “Let me make coffee for you. If you want to eat, go sit down and wait for it to be ready.”
A cup of hot coffee and jam spread on bread in the morning was okay for me. As for Nubsib, he had to go to work, so I grabbed some vegetables, ham, eggs, and salad dressing to prepare. I couldn't cook, so Number Eighteen had to suffice for this simple sandwich.
An hour later, Nubsib left the apartment condo. I lay on the bed, staring at the MacBook, not getting up to see him off because I knew I would have to give him a kiss on the cheek for encouragement, just as before.
Waking up early this morning, my mind felt clear like never before. I revisited the original scene that I had worked on last night, the latest scene, which was a sex scene... It was the scene before the last, which the editor had asked me to add in after cutting out the scene where it goes into the lamp. Since then, I marked it in red as I wasn't ready to write it yet, but finally last night, I cleared it. It took several hours, but there were no signs of the initial struggle of not being able to describe it properly as before.
I had been sitting and lying in front of the screen for several hours, and when I looked down at the bottom right corner, I saw that it was almost three in the afternoon. Nubsib entered... and it suddenly struck me, causing me to jump up from the bed.
It's been a while since I last visited the filming location. It might be a good idea to drop by.
I quickly rushed to the bathroom to freshen up. I didn’t rush too much, as I remembered that today Nubsib was going to take me out for lunch. I decided to call a taxi instead of taking my car out. By the time I arrived, it was almost three or four, just in time.
Today's location was a small garden around the university's pond. The sun was scorching, reflecting off the water, blinding the eyes. If this scene was filmed, it meant they had reached the part where the co-protagonist and the hero share their true feelings with each other.
The director said that the online airing will be at the beginning of December. Just two more weeks...
“Oh, Khun Gene.”
“Hello.” I waved and greeted the staff who came in to say hello.
She led me to a spot with large umbrellas shading the area. Beside it was a giant fan, but this spot was quite far from the tents where the directors were working together.
I could see Nubsib in action with the other actors, playing the role of a friend in Kinthra's group. I haven't seen that hairstyle on him for a long time, and although he looked cool, it seemed that Nubsib, who was always himself, looked even cooler.
Wait... that's right.
Standing there for a while, I started to feel the heat unbearable. Although there were umbrellas shading, the hot air was suffocating. The fan blowing wasn’t a refreshing breeze, it was hot air. I turned to ask the staff nearby if there were any available seats somewhere else, feeling embarrassed, she chuckled before leading me to a dressing room under the nearby building, which was now used as a changing room.
“Thank you very much. Um... Nubsib manager here today?”
“Phii Tum? I haven't seen him yet today.”
“Oh, thank you so much.”
After sitting and resting in the air-conditioned room, I felt a bit better. The sweat that had soaked my back started to dry up, as I hadn't been outside much, feeling relieved from the scorching heat in particular.
The sound of the door opening loudly.
“Damn, it's so hot... Phii Gene!?”
“Nong Aey?”
This room is a square room with two doors. I stand on the front door side. In the middle, there is a table and chairs that the staff moved and arranged as if the room was divided into two sections.
The door that is opened is the back door. I freeze when I see the cute little figure of Nong Aey walking towards me, but as he reaches the table, Nong Aey jumps over with a cool pose that makes people stare in awe.
“Today, Phii Gene...”
He pauses for a moment, scanned around and then smiles sweetly, “You came, huh? I thought I wouldn't see you again. Did AiSib send you here?”
I remain silent for a moment, but as I recall what he did before, I furrow my brows.
“Looking for trouble, huh?”
“...”
“You did not reply, are you mad?”
I still don't reply, don't speak, just angry to the point where I don't want to talk for real.
Despite wanting to scold and criticize what happened before in my heart, I feel like Nong Aey has grown up. Should I think whether it's right or wrong, this drug thing is really dangerous. If this happened to someone else, it would definitely lead to a big problem.
Surely since the day Nong Aey mentioned that there was drug mixed in the drink, I didn't reply or even read his messages again, I was really angry. But partly because I didn't want to get involved or have any more problems as Nubsib said not to care from the beginning.
“I lied because you didn't reply to me, I was angry because I was having problems at that time.”
“Lied?”
“Um? About the drug...” The sweet voice was still speaking when suddenly it stopped as if a button was pressed. I stopped furrowing my brows, but then saw a cute face with furrowed eyebrows and serious eyes looking at me before suddenly realizing, “Oh”.
“Wh-what?”
I've seen it once before, but I still can't fully accept Nong Aey's current attitude.
“It's Sib.” he said casually, looking down at the floor while a hint of sarcasm slipped out smoothly, “Others may boil with rage but can choose. The flow comes naturally. Will you simmer this year?”
“...?”
I could only look at the small figure in front with unresolved feelings.
Nong Aey is not as drunk as he was before now. The tense and sad mood and the lack of different water to drink, although I don't know for sure what Nong Aey is upset about, his mood at that time, I was quite confident it was true.
“Phii Gene, I didn't put any drugs in it.”
“Huh?” I was puzzled for a moment. As I was about to regain my composure, I noticed that the other person had changed from an angry look to a serious gaze towards me.
“I sent the text like that because I just wanted you to take AiSib to soak in cold water all night long.”
Didn't you add drugs?
“...”
“I didn't lie.” Nong Aey said with a heavy and serious tone as he looked at my wrinkled forehead, “Okay, I know I was wrong. I got carried away for a moment there. I just wanted to get back at Ai’Sib.”
“Are you being honest?”
“I swear, I already told you that you are a kind and lovable person. If I were to deceive such a kind-hearted person, I would feel guilty for the rest of my life.”
“...”
My mind felt like it had escaped into outer space.
While I didn't fully believe Nong Aey, I thought that if what he said was true, the person who deceived me would change from a small and innocent person to a despicable childlike Nubsib in an instant.
“I'm sorry.” Nong Aey said, sounding remorseful with a guilty expression on his face.
I stared at him for a moment, trying to figure out if what he said was a lie or the truth. Finally, I decided, “Even if it was true or not, tricking others like this is not okay. If hypothetically I took this seriously and reported it to the police, it would turn into a big mess.”
“...”
Hearing what I said, he fell silent. His previously confident face now looked meek and downcast. Not being able to retort made me realize that expressing my current feelings was wrong. I was still annoyed when I thought about it, but I tried to look at it positively.
No one said anything for a moment, and the room fell into a brief silence, but before I could do anything, Nong Aey spoke softly.
“Do you hate me?”
I was confused, “...?”
“Other people may hate me... but Phii Gene, you are the only one I don't want to hate.”
“Wait, I don't hate you Nong Aey at all.”
“...”
“If I hated you, you wouldn't be standing here talking with me, right?”
And I saw the person who had lowered his head raise it with a smile. He seemed to have a hint of trembling in his round eyes, “Thank you.”
I felt the true feelings of Nong Aey, and began to understand that Nong Aey may have some issues in his heart which led to him getting drunk. Talking about his parents, but because we are not that close and his revealing of himself while not fully conscious, I should not disclose Nong Aey's personal affairs to others.
Thinking to myself, if he is sincere and doesn't lie or do such things to me again, then I will return that sincerity to Nong Aey. NongAey said that many people hate themselves. If he doesn't hate me, why should I hate Nong Aey?
“Why didn't I meet you before AiSib...”
“Oh?”
“Are you dating Sib?” It seemed like he was trying to change the subject and mood, “Are you dating, right?”
“Yes.”
For a moment, before the answer came out, I was in shock.
“So, do you like Sib?”
I stayed quiet when I heard this question again.
The situation and question in the bathroom made it impossible to think clearly. Even though Nubsib told me that Aey doesn't like him and Nong Aey's current attitude doesn't seem to be someone who likes Sib, but who knows better than he; himself. Feelings are beyond control, so I wanted to say what I thought.
So, I straightened my face and answered directly with a serious demeanor, looking directly at the person in front of me without evasion.
“Yes. I like Sib.”
Nong Aey looked at me silently for almost a minute, but suddenly a light laughter erupted.
“Haha wait... Phii Gene.”
“Yes?”
“Phii Gene, you don't really think I like Sib, right?”
Nong Aey’s laughter and wiping tears made me dizzy. Before, he was sulking, but now he just laughed calmly?
“Haha why do you look so cute?”
“...”
“Oh, I can't take it, it's so cute.”
Seeing another person laughing like crazy, my face began to change to confusion, “Stop laughing please. I don't really know what you are thinking. You said you liked Sib from the beginning, you keep going back and forth like this. I don't understand.”
The contradictory behaviors of both Nubsib and Nong Aey made me unsure of what is true or not. If all kids nowadays were like this, I wouldn't leave my house.
“Actually... before going to the casting, I saw a picture of yours on AiSib's phone.” Nong Aey smiled, not surprised by what I said. The laughter started to disappear, but the corners of his mouth were still raised.
“...”
A picture of me...?
“Someone like Sib, who doesn't seem to care about anyone, but has a picture of someone in his phone, I can guess that Sib must like the person in the picture a lot. The more I see him after the casting, the more confident I am.” He said, this time not joking at all, “I followed Sib to the casting for real, but not because I like Sib, I came to cast because I needed money urgently.”
“Then why did you have to say that you liked Sib since that day in the car...”
“I just teased AiSib a little bit. That's all.” When he couldn't explain it correctly, he went silent for a moment, “I envy you for having someone who loves you so much like Sib, but that doesn't mean I hate him. Sib and I are not that close, but we consider each other as friends. If you had a bad personality, I would have hated you, but since you are cute and didn't mind me teasing you, I don't hate you at all.”
“...”
“Phii Gene, your confused expression, the way you were so easy to tease, made me forget myself for a moment...”
“...”
I couldn't say anything.
“Do you know that if you didn't actually like Sib, I wouldn't have forgiven you, right?” Nong Aey moved closer, tilted his head slightly, then peered with a cute expression for a moment before turning his head away and lightly chuckling, “Well, if you don't want to be my boyfriend, I can't help it. I don't want to have problems with AiSib as well. So, I'll just be your friend.”
What does being a friend mean...
His eyes moved to gaze at the sweet face, looking until he felt that what he heard and felt was the sincerity of the other person, gradually raising his face “But...”
“Eh?”
“Don't play pranks like this again, okay?”
The listener blinked and finally chuckled again.
I didn't say anything to Nong Aey.
After talking until there was nothing left to say, he just said that the director had let him go from the set since he walked into the room and saw Nong Aey trying to change his shirt after washing his makeup, so I asked to leave to catch Nubsib first.
I had sent a LINE to him before, but Nubsib might not have opened it yet.
Gently flipping the mobile phone open to prepare to make a call, one hand spun the dial to open the door. However, when lifting my head from the screen, I had to pause when I saw a tall figure standing in front of me.
“Nub... Nubsib?”
“...”
The owner smiled slightly while looking at me. The door was still not completely opened. As I looked away, I could see who the person I was talking to in the room with me just now was.
Just like that, I felt a sense of unease creeping up.
“How long have you been waiting? Oh, did you change your shirt...”
“...”
“I messaged to let you know. It's too hot out there, so I asked the staff to wait here instead.”
Nubsib didn't seem as angry as I had expected. He reached out and held my hand as I tried to explain to him softly that it was all a misunderstanding, “I understand, it's okay.”
“Nong Aey has nothing to do with it anymore, I understand now.”
“Alright then.”
Seeing that Nubsib was still calm, I felt a bit relieved. I was about to invite him to go eat something because my stomach was starting to growl, but before I could, a message came from the other side warning me.
“Actually, Nong Aey told me that he didn't put anything in the mojito. So far, my face had stiffened up, “In summary, it's clear, nothing was put in there.”
“Mohito?” Nubsib raised an eyebrow, “Which mojito are you talking about?”
“Don't act like you've forgotten. It hasn't been a week yet since you drank that drink instead of me that day.”
“Oh!”
“Oh?”
“...”
Nubsib fell silent. Seeing his expression, I immediately raised my hand and pointed at the person in front of me automatically.
“You bastard, you tricked me!”
“Gene.”
“At that time, I was worried about you, but...”
“I've told you many times that nothing happened to me. You don't remember it?”
“...”
“No. Where would Aey get the sex drug from?”
“Hey, if you're suspicious, I didn't pick it up to drink it.”
“I've told you it's not there. Khun Gene, you were fooled by Aey...”
I... am about to explode my own brain and die right now, I can't stand this shit anymore!
