[T/N] I apologize for grammar mistakes and incoherencies
Chapter 5: Sunflower
-Time-
I looked at the handsome face in front of me, clean and smooth, with fine white skin, thick eyebrows, long narrow eyes, a sharp nose, and black hair styled perfectly. This person was the one I loved most, from head to toe. My heart and soul belonged completely to him. Time was sleeping with a small smile on his face, as I listened to his soft breathing that indicated how deeply asleep he was. His arm hugged my waist like always, no matter how many years had gone by, and I felt overwhelmed with love for this perfect person in front of me. I couldn't imagine living without Time, because ever since I knew what love meant, it was defined as Time Taweewat Ratnapakorn.
[Flashback]
“I don't want to be a sunflower today!!' I, in preschool, was crying out loud to my mother because I felt that the outfit I had to wear for the school performance was terrible. It was a green dress with a sunflower petal-shaped hat. At that age, I was afraid it would be embarrassing and that my friends would mock me. Even though I didn't have any friends at the time.
“Try it on first, dear. It's cute.” My mother tried to put a flower hat on me, which I shook off and stood still. “Tay ... Dad will come to see you. And if you're not a sunflower, what will you be?” My mother started to lower her voice, hinting that I should look more stylish.
“Other kids have already booked everything, so I have to skip school for three days. It's just a sunflower, but I am not feeling well ... And why didn't the teacher ask me first ...”
“It's hopeless, dear. Believe me. You'll show up and then you'll be fine.” I took off my dress and started to pout like a spoiled child until I didn't care how many people were in this chaotic dressing room. Even though I showed my dissatisfaction, no one paid attention to me during the performance, and soon ...
“Excuse me.” I felt someone lightly tapping on my shoulder, but I didn't care.
“I won't wear it, won't wear it!”
“I am a soldier of the king. Are you going to switch with us? But it's a men's outfit.” The boy said with a trembling voice, but he still came to give me his soldier outfit.
“Nong Tay is a boy.” My mother said with a smile to encourage the boy.
“Oh!” He was surprised and my mother had to ask him back, embarrassed.
“Do you really want to change it, dear?”
...
“Actually, sunflowers are very cute. As a soldier, I have to run around. I'm tired of that.” He answered absent-mindedly, and I stopped complaining and proudly put on my soldier outfit. My kind-hearted mother also dressed the boy in a sunflower outfit, along with me in my cool soldier outfit and the king clown. And those pictures are still hanging on the wall at our house, of the three of us: Time, Tay, and Kinn.
“Nong Tay, do you want the car at home to come pick you up?”
“No, thank you. I will wait for Mom and Dad.”
“It's raining heavily like this. Your mother might be a little late.”
“I will wait for Mom.”
I was sitting by the window, drawing quietly. It was after school, and my classmates had all gone home. I was the only one left, and now it was raining heavily. The atmosphere around me was both dark and humid, which I didn't like.
“Nong Time! Is your Amma (grandmother) coming here to pick you up?” I looked up from my paper and crayons and saw a boy I remembered well. He was the one Tumche called Time. He ran into the classroom out of breath and told Tumche the news.
“I forgot my sketchbook, teacher.”
“Okay, go get it. I'll go to the faculty room for a bit. Tay, wait for me here.”
Boom! Thunder echoed loudly. I quickly closed my eyes and covered my ears with my hands. Then I opened them one by one to make sure it was safe. When I decided it was okay, I lifted my hand and realized that the boy was standing next to me.
“Oops!”
“Are you scared of thunder?”
Boom!
I covered my ears and closed my eyes again.
“Don't look at it then. You won't be scared.” Then the boy took my sketchbook and started drawing something in it while I watched him.
“That's mine.”
“We're borrowing it.” said the boy called Time, who was bigger than me and snatched the book and used my crayons to draw something in it.
I sat there looking back and forth between him and covering my ears every time I was thunderstruck. Finally, he smiled widely and showed me a small hand pushing the sketchbook toward me.
“Look at this. You won't be scared anymore.”
“What is it?”
“The sun, sunflower, and clear sky...When it rains, you can look at this picture and not be scared.” I think Time meant for me to use my imagination to overcome fear. I smiled...I didn't understand anything at the time, but I was fascinated by Time's strange drawing of sunflowers and the sun which made me forget the thunder.
“Time, let's go home.” said an old woman kindly, walking in with an umbrella and calling out to him.
“Yes, Grandma.” As soon as Time got up from his chair, Tumche walked into the room.
“Tay, I'll have the driver at your house come pick you up. Your parents might arrive in Bangkok late.”
“But I...don't want to be alone at home.” I spoke my mind, remembering that when I was a child, my parents often went to other provinces or countries, leaving me behind with housekeepers and gardeners, which wasn't fun for a small kid in a big house.
“Can I invite friends over to play at our house today, Amma (grandmother)?”
Since that day, my kindergarten life has revolved around Time's house. I ate Amma (grandmother)'s homemade food until I grew tired of it and slept with the pile of toys in front of the TV during nap time. Waking up to this constant rotation at home made me realize that the time after school is much better spent with friends than being alone in a big house.
“Thank you, Amma (grandmother). And thank you to little Tay too.” I said gratefully.
Despite how worried my parents were about Time's family, the kindness of Time’sAmma (grandmother) and Akong (grandfather) made them treat me like their own grandchild.
Amma (grandmother)'s boiled chicken with fish sauce became my favorite dish of all time.
The sour pickled cabbage soup with pork ribs was so delicious that I could eat more than when I was at home.
Activities after school weren't just about watching English language practice programs or tutoring; they also included biking with Amma (grandmother) and Time.
Our families quickly became close. When Time's father returned from overseas and met with my parents, they hit it off immediately. Not only were we close as friends but their hotel business allowed us to support each other in our families' careers.
“Hey! Give it back!” I shouted desperately while struggling with another kindergarten boy over a toy in the hallway.
“Let go! If you don't let go, we'll both die!” Time's angry face was scary, while Kinn looked frightened and still.
“Just give it to him already!”
But the other boy didn't seem to care at all about the two of them.
“Time, go grab him.” Kinn commanded, and Time easily complied.
“Deal with him already, Kinn!” I heard Kinn say before walking away.
“Hey! Kinn!” I called out to my friend after Kinn pulled the boy's pants down and pushed him outside, causing the poor kid to cry and run away.
“Don't mess with Tay again!” Time warned as the crying boy complained about me to the teacher.
“Who is he anyway?” Time asked me as he walked back towards me.
“Hey! Why did you have to do that?” I said in shock to my two friends.
“He was trying to take something from you.” Time replied, eager to explain the situation. Meanwhile, Kinn stood there silently watching us.
“It wasn't even mine! It belongs to him!” I quickly explained to my friend.
“Oh really? Then why did you try to take it from him?” Time asked me curiously.
“Well, this box of clay is a limited edition, and I just asked Mom to buy it yesterday. But the item hasn't been delivered yet, and he doesn't want anyone else to use it aside from him.” I explained angrily. As I finished speaking, my two friends looked guilty, except for Time, who smiled at me.
“So it's settled then, Kinn. I don't want anyone to use it before him at school, okay?” Time turned to ask Kinn for his opinion.
And the three of us were the troublemakers who made it to the top of the Sheraton plant in the whole grade. Kinn was nice to me, no less than Time, but he was just a little stuck-up. Both of them took care of me like I was a little brother because they saw my sweet face and let my hair grow long, so I looked cute. They thought I needed to be protected, just like any other younger sibling.
“There's some watermelon that you don't like, today I put it on my plate. The teacher won't notice.” Time scooped up some fried chicken from his own plate to exchange for the watermelon, and it was always like this until we were in middle school.
Our families often socialized together, and both households' businesses had grown considerably. Adults invested in various projects and businesses, ranging from family ties, legal matters, work issues, and financial needs. We relied on each other and were no different from our parent's generation.
“Time, write me a poem.” As we arrived at school, KInn asked for something that Time had promised him earlier.
“Here you go, just copy it down.” Time handed over a piece of scrap paper, which Kinn immediately took and read aloud.
“My name is Kinn, looks like I got my mother's features. How old is my dad?”
“Love my mom more than anyone else, how could you compare her to anyone else? What is your problem!?” I almost couldn't hold back my laughter when I saw Kinn's face, which was now in shock after reciting a Mother's Day poem.
“Why is it so terrible? Give me your good stuff!” Then Kinn snatched Time's notebook to read it.
“My name is New, I love my mother with all my heart. My big muscles and handsome face make her proud.”
“If I grow up and my mother isn't alone, the daughter will be happy...I understand.” Kinn took a deep breath and turned to me. “Got anything?”
“Hey, Kinn.”
“My mother looks great and has class. She's so beautiful that people can't help but stare.”
“She's skilled in negotiation and has a unique beauty like Tay's chin...why is your stuff better than mine? Did you hire someone to write it?” Kinn complained immediately.
“I just want Time to get good grades! Why do you care?”
“You have double standards. You need to rewrite it.” Kinn and Time laughed at each other, this was the international students' way of life. Thai language courses were always difficult for them, but they still had fun. And in the end, I still had a bad grade.
“Never mind, I only thought of this much.” Time quickly wiped his mouth and pulled out his own notebook again. As for me, I ate my sandwich and watched the two of them laugh together.
“I'll get the hundred baht later tonight.” Kinn said with a sad tone.
“What if we don't use a poem? What will you do then?” Time asked without much interest, looking at Kinn before wiping some bread crumbs from the corner of his mouth.
“I'll run to find our brother in the building and have him write it for us.” Kinn said hesitantly. Time and I laughed harder than ever before.
“Come on in, you guys, and bring your money with you.”
Finally, Kinn changed his mind and used Time's poem instead, realizing that if he let his big brother write it, there was no hope for a good grade. Kinn’s brother was a strange person, after all.
And so we were punished for being bad at the Thai language according to school rules.
Even though my life may be filled with abundance, whenever I return home I feel lonely. The emptiness of the house, the silence without any conversations at the dinner table, it's something I've grown used to, but the longer I stay away from home, the more hollow I feel. My parents take care of me well, we have relatives and conveniences and unlimited funds, but the one thing they never give me is time.
I never had time to talk to my parents. I never have time to receive their teachings. I never have time to eat meals together with them. I never have time to lean on them for comfort.
Even during the scariest moments of my life, when I didn't know what to do... that would be when it rained.
I don't like the rain, because it makes me feel even lonelier than before. And I'm scared of the thunder which only accentuates the emptiness inside me. Today was just another day where, after returning from school, I had to confront my fears alone.
If it were a normal day, I'd already be at Time's house by now. But today is different because Time's father has returned from overseas. So I decided to give Time some time to stay with his dad and eat meals together as a family because I know how much he misses him. I understand how much he wants to spend time with his family. Even though Time's family invited me to join them, I didn't want to disturb their happiness. Plus, Time probably has a lot to catch up with his dad about, and I don't want him to worry about me.
Today the rain is heavier than usual. I sat down to eat dinner on a luxurious table so long that I could barely see the end. The sound of the thunder causes me to cover my ears for a moment. The sunflowers that Time had drawn are still in the bedroom. I guess I have to sit here and be afraid for a while before I can muster up the courage to leave the dining table.
“Tay! Tay!”
But then... a voice calls out my name from the front of the house, and it startles me so much that I forget where I am. I quickly got up from the dining table, startled and scared by the sound of the thunder.
“Time.”
“Tay!”
The nanny rushes into the house, bringing in a young elementary school boy who is completely drenched. She calls out to the housekeeper to grab a towel for him.
“Nong Time came home early this morning, he was completely soaked.”
“How did you get here?” I ask, not wanting to believe what I am seeing. Time takes the towel and starts wiping himself down before turning to answer me with a wide smile.
“I rode my bike.”
“What?! And you didn't eat dinner with your dad?” I hurry over to comfort the house guest. How could he ride his bike on a day like this?
“I finished eating already.” Time said while hugging himself tightly because he was cold.
“Then why aren't you with your dad?” I continue to question while using the towel to dry off our wet guest. How did he even manage to ride his bike in such heavy rain?
“I could be with my dad, but Time can't stay in this rain...”
I looked at the boy, Time, at that time with a feeling I cannot explain, but as far as I remember, I wasn't afraid of the rain anymore...
After that day, Time got sick and I caught a cold from him. We were both lying in the same room with our grandmothers taking care of us and giving us medicine. That event caused us to miss classes and have to attend makeup classes because we had been absent for a week, and we couldn't catch up with our friends. As for Kinn, once he found out that we were both sick, he came to visit us and ended up catching a cold too. It turned out that no one showed up for school that day, so we just slept all day.
The three of us became closer than before. From just hanging out together as three friends, now we don't have any other friends except each other. We were inseparable, just like Siamese twins. We played sports together, joined clubs together, and whatever one of us did, the others followed suit. As the saying goes, “Birds of a feather flock together”. Even when it comes to things like stealing, we did it together too. Kinn's father even had a new wife and Kinn a new stepmother. Time's house was like a shelter for him, but I could understand why since his father feared being arrested along with his pregnant wife.
It's ridiculous to think about it! Damnit.
And then the peak point came when I was in sixth grade. When the truth my mother told me came out, both Time and Kinn were shocked as well.
“Tay, you have to go study at a high school in England with your grandmother.” Despite strong opposition from me, Time's family pleaded with mine, but my mother refused. She had to go abroad for work for about three years, and my father had to be stationed in another province, so I had to stay with my grandmother temporarily. Although my mother comforted us with the word “temporarily”, it seemed like nobody could accept this fact.
We were all sad for a whole month until last week when I had to say goodbye to my friends. This event was buried in the hearts of... well, just like how it was for Anaw, I suppose (laughs).
“Time gave this to me.” Time handed me a bag of sunflower seeds, which I accepted and opened up.
“What is it?”
“Sunflower seeds, plant them over there, Tay. You won't be afraid of the rain when it falls.” I looked at the sunflower seeds and then at Time with teary eyes. It made me very sad to think that I wouldn't be able to play with him anymore. So I mustered up the courage to move my foot and gently kissed his cheek, leaving Time in shock.
“Time, do you like me? I really want you to be with me every time it rains.” I spoke from my heart, feeling that I liked him and wanted to see him and play with him, not wanting to be apart from him for even a moment. I didn't know what kind of relationship adults would call this, but...
“Tay, you like Time?” It was Kinn's voice that came from behind me.
“Yes.”
“Do you like Time?” Kinn asked me again.
“Yes.” but I didn't answer him because it was Time who turned around.
“And I like Tay too.” Time walked towards me, and it was like a scene out of a drama where the hero and the villain fight over the heroine. (laughs)
“I thought that you liked me...I protected you, Tay, I reserved tables for you to eat, and I would try to get things that you wanted from other people just for you.” Kinn bragged loudly, but Time didn't seem to accept it.
“I liked Tay before you did. I'm willing to be a sunflower for Tay. I drew pictures for Tay and played with him because I like chemistry more than you.” said the speaker.
“Then we don't have to be friends!!” Kinn shouted before stomping on the flower on the ground and running away. I felt awkward with Time and didn't know what to do.
After that day, I never saw Kinn again. I heard Time say that Kinn sang sad songs all day long. I didn't know how to feel about it, but Time said he would buy ice cream that Kinn liked because he cared about him. Until the day I flew away, only Time came to see me off. We both cried while eating sunflower seeds that Time gave me throughout the flight, and our elementary school story ended there.
---
But...a new chapter began after three years. I moved back to Thailand and attended an international school where I knew I would meet someone, someone, I missed, someone I counted the days for, someone I thought of every time it rained...Time.
The voices of my friends were loud and noisy, but I could hear the voice of someone clearly. “Oh no! The traffic is bad...” It was Kinn who knew I was there because yesterday our families had dinner together and I asked Kinn to keep it a secret. He also knew that Time still complained about me every day. That made me smile.
“Who? The new transgender kid, handsome!!” Time exclaimed with excitement. I stood up from my chair and walked straight to him with the item I intended to take back in my hand.
“Hello, Time.” I greeted the boy that day who was much more handsome than before, taller, and looked so good that it started to make me excited.
“...” Time raised his eyebrows and looked at me thoughtfully before eventually showing a smile on his face repeatedly.
“Tay!!” Time's eyes widened, and the silly man looked with excitement no less than me. I handed him the sunflower seeds, feeling my heart beat faster. Then he looked at the sunflower seeds with confusion.
“Oh, I am giving it back.” I said with a smirk before Time could be disappointed. He looked at me puzzledly.
“Why? Did you not want to plant them?” I chuckled because Time still remembered what happened three years ago like me.
“The seeds were roasted, so they won't grow no matter how you plant them.” I said, along with Kinn's laughter echoing around us. Time pouted, picked up the sunflower seeds, and looked at them quizzically.
“Um, at that time, we didn't know. We bought them at 7-11.” Time sighed and seemed disappointed, much to the surprise of what he had expected. I saw it and quickly said something just to see the smile on the person in front of me again.
“Let's plant anew together.” Time's disappointed gaze suddenly lit up as I had imagined, before he pulled me in for a tight embrace.
“Oh my god, I can't breathe.” I gasped in response to his hug, still thinking of Time and myself. He looked at me from head to toe.
“You've grown so much.” Time said, pulling me in for another hug.
I don't know why, but it always had to be Time who dispelled the fear in my heart. It was like the sky after the rain with sunflowers, sunshine, and freshness.
“I'm going to try to court you again. I wonder if you'll reject me like last time. This is the only thing that I am defeated by Time.” Kinn said, speaking up and acting as usual.
“Is this Tay? The one Time talks about every day?” A newcomer asked. I didn't recognize his face and asked him who he was. “I'm Mew.” he replied.
“Hello, Mew...”
“You're much cuter than I thought.” Mew said, widening his eyes and making me feel good.
And our status changed from friends to lovers.
-Present day-
Since then, the image of a tall, fair-skinned man who liked to act handsome has been engraved in my mind. There hasn't been a single moment when I could live without thinking about him…Time.
Smooch!
As his sleeping face touched mine, I woke up from my reverie.
“Who are you thinking about?” Time forgot himself and asked me lazily.
“Sunflowers...why, do you want some?” I replied.
Rolling his eyes, Time was the one I spent most of my time with. He could always tell when I was thinking about something, and I always knew when he had someone he wanted to be in mind. I wanted to tell him that he could be with anyone he wanted, but he would never be with someone who knew every corner of his life as I did. He was irreplaceable.
Time was possessive, and it didn't matter when or where he got it from. However, he never made me feel inferior to him. He always chose me, even if sometimes it was too much for me to handle. Even if it hurt or made me sad, Time never diminished my importance in his life, and we never fought for long. There was never a moment when I didn't want him by my side.
I forgave Time because he was reliable, and I overlooked any faults he had almost to the point of loving blindness.
I've loved Time since the first day we met, and I don't want the memories we've shared together to fade away with time because they mean so much to me.
“Do you have a headache?” Time asked me. He always quickly sensed my new feelings as soon as I looked puzzled, and could analyze what was wrong with me.
“Go find your side lover!” I said, annoyed, while Time got out of bed, walked to the medicine cabinet, and brought medicine and water to me.
“Is it so bad that the blood vessels in your brain burst? Open your mouth.” I did as Time instructed, he fed me the medication and handed me a glass of water. “Swallow... open your mouth again.” he checked to make sure I had actually swallowed the migraine pills and secretly spat them out like when we were kids.
“Wait here, I'll go get you something to eat.”
“No, wait, I'll come with you...I want to apologize to Amma (grandmother) and Akong (grandfather).”
“What a cute couple.” Time smiled.
“You too, scattering rice all over the place! Shameless!”
“Oops, sorry.” I quickly spoke up to avoid getting scolded again. I knew that I didn't want to talk about old matters anymore.
“Come here.” I hugged Time and begged him, “Please be nice to me...”
“So adorable! You're such a pain.” Time continued to complain, then turned around and leaned on me. I hugged him tightly around his neck and held onto his legs happily.
“It's amazing how we've been arguing since we were kids, yet we still love each other. I and your Amma (grandmother) aren't worried after all.” When the old man saw our faces, he immediately shut up. As I hadn't gotten off Time's back yet, I was just there still and not moving.
“Sorry, Akong (grandfather) and Amma (grandmother).” we both raised our hands and apologized together.
“Don't worry, Time will go buy some more for the pills that didn't work tonight.” Time quickly shrank away, holding his head against his Akong (grandfather)'s shoulder in embarrassment.
“The glass that broke, do you want to buy some more? They won't be exactly the same. Take whatever you like in the cabinet.” I went to hug Amma (grandmother) while we sat at the table eating rice awkwardly, but only for about ten minutes. After that, things returned to normal. Time kept talking non-stop, while I could only join in occasionally, along with Amma (grandmother) and Akong (grandfather), who had a headache that matched mine.
And everything returned to normal.
Once we finished eating, I massaged Amma (grandmother) until she fell asleep, then went to watch Time and Akong (grandfather) playing chess. I was cheering for Akong (grandfather), as he liked me to watch him play, thinking that it helped him win. I even used to pinch him during competitions when I was younger, just to playfully annoy him. Ha ha.
…
“Two baht of gold is worth more than buying it separately.” I handed the customer the scale to weigh the goods, this was my job, and I worked diligently to make every penny count. The hot red curry that Amma (grandmother) had been cooking since childhood was now enjoyed by her only grandson, who sat beside me. I thought he was helping me with my work? No, his other hand was playing mobile games, while he held onto my arm with the other, while spinning his chair round and round.
“Hide, Time, I'm going to write insurance.”
“You guys grew up so fast, I remember you both since you were little.” the customer in front of us greeted me and Time.
“Yes.” I smiled at the customer, who understood that I was a regular there and had already become familiar with the place unless they were close to the owner. Some accepted it, while others couldn't bear it, but the owner didn't care.
“Thank you.”
…
“.....”
“Please come in.” I heard the customer's voice again and lowered my head to enter the income ledger without looking up until...
“We want to exchange gold and gold nuggets.” The loud voice interrupted me. I immediately knew who it was, because it made me have to look up and argue with it!
“We only have gold (I spoke silently)!!! Do you want it?” I emphasized the price so that the staff around us could hear.
“Hello, brothers.” Kinn raised his hand to greet us in front of the shop. “I bought some snacks to share.” Kinnn handed the goodies to the children, making him look more like a politician than a gangster.
“I just went to my shop to make a card game...they were all awakened.” Time turned off his phone and immediately scolded Kinn.
“This is a small gift from Little Auntie for Amma (grandmother).”
“My life is worth more than gold in your store.”
“Oh! You jerk! Learn to ask your brother for drugs first before coming to buy gold? If you are not buying, then get out.” Time said jokingly, but Kinn didn't respond as usual.
“I'm stressed...”
“Work? Or...which bodyguard bothered you?” I asked.
Kinn kept quiet. I knew he must be very upset right now, so I didn't ask anything further. If he wanted to talk, he would tell us himself. It's like if a friend came to me for comfort here, it means they want some peace of mind. It's not like we haven't eaten ice cream for a while...
“Come on!” The three of us walked into the familiar alley. The atmosphere was still the same as when we were young, everything was preserved as it used to be, whether it was a tea shop that didn't have good taste, an antique shop with handsome boys, or a bean curd and crushed peanut dessert shop where the husband and wife quarreled since the store opened, and also the little toy store.
“Give me Macadamia ice cream with cheese topping, drizzled with caramel sauce, and three green tea mochi dusted with white powder.” Time immediately opened his performance when he arrived at the shop.
“You weird asses...haven't seen them in a while, still acting the same way. Do you want any ice cream?” Hia Kae picked up the ice cream cup from the cabinet and handed it to us.
“Sure, and give me a Japanese green tea mochi with red bean filling, topped with sesame seeds.” Time continued to be playful. The three of us just smiled and looked at the items in the shop.
“The locals call this place 'Gala Mair', which means crazy gala. They act crazy like usual.” The three of us laughed so hard that even Time had been like this since who knows when.
Then the three of us walked along, sucking on ice cream. We kept greeting people we knew along the way, but the passersby just looked confused, wondering why a group like us was walking around eating ice cream and making noise in this area. Even though our appearance didn't look like we were interested in eating sweets, it seemed more like politicians coming to visit villagers and asking for votes. Especially Kinn, haha. After that, we arrived at the village and lay down, hitting our heads together. In the area around the pond decorated with palm leaves, we looked up at the sky, dreaming and not thinking too much, like when we were children.
“I'm still feeling just as good as before.” said Kinn lightly.
“Thinking back to our childhood, everything tasted better back then.” said Time before everyone rushed to finish their ice cream before it melted. “Why did everything smell so sweet and delicious when we were kids...?”
“Because life was simpler back then.” I said, taking a deep breath before raising my hand to ruffle Kinn's hair gently. “Take a break if you need to. At least when we're together, I'll be the soldier protecting you myself.” I said with a smile.
“And I'll be the sunflower that brightens up your day. Woohoo!” And the three of us laughed ourselves to sleep, despite the ups and downs of life. In the end, no matter what we encounter, our story together remains a good one. My fond memories make me feel like a mischievous boy playing with a sunflower boy - a story that encompasses everything in my life.
It's because of this that I have to cherish them and not let the most precious things slip away, even for a second...
Fuck…Hey, you crazies!
