[T/N] I apologize for grammar mistakes and incoherencies
Chapter 7: Gold Beard Grass.
-TIME-.
“What's up, dude?” As soon as I approached the table, the guys greeted me instantly. I put on a relaxed face with a smile and reached out to accept a glass of liquor from them.
“Did your wife let you come out like this?”
“I'm just here to have some fun.” That Phii Golf guy gave me a suspicious look.
“He didn't say where we were going to drink with us.”
I smirked a little at the vast knowledge of the older guys. They may not be very close to me, but they know me well. Even Tay from the senior group introduced me to them because these high-so, celeb, rich kids may have it all, but their lifestyles aren't always fancy. They often seek entertainment at nearby liquor stores, universities, you name it. They enjoy the beauty of lights, colors, sounds, even extravagant fashion and all the intoxicating stuff, but let me tell you, these guys already have partners, husbands, and wives but if you're looking for a one-night stand like a fast-food dish, you have to choose these places because you won't get it at fancy rooftop bars or famous hotels, don't expect that. Because no matter where you turn, everyone knows each other around there.
And, by the way, I didn't tell Tay that I would come to a place like this, but I think he probably guessed it more than I wanted.
“I guess so.”
“They say the Wagyu beef here is Grade A5, and the girls, man, they're stunning, plus there are plenty of anything for sale genders here.”
“Yeah, definitely, it's a private university around here.”
“Besides the food! Let's test it.”
“Mmm... How about paying the tuition for kids tonight?”
As the older guys continued their conversation at the table, I looked around the place. Before getting captivated by the oh-so-white guy, the soft personality, the fair complexion resembling popular prints, the light brown hair in a trendy Korean style, and the clean-cut student attire, there was a moment when our eyes met and we couldn't look away from each other. So, I had to raise my glass slightly as a greeting, and the other guy smiled bashfully before returning the greeting in the same manner.
“But while we were talking, someone started scoring points.”
I smirked and quickly drank all the alcohol. I don't care about the banter from these guys. Well... that's what needs to be done, right? I'll get back to Tay quickly and... I almost know it so well, it's like it's in his mind already.
If Tay wakes up and doesn't find me, he'll probably call and bother me to the point where I won't want to socialize anymore.
“Slowly, just a little bit, stop gulping it down quickly, it's just plain water, dammit.” Phii Golf, who started pouring me drinks, he started complaining. Because I gulped it down without hesitation, apart from doing the timing, I still have other worries. Actually, there are always stumbling blocks in my relationship. I argue with Tay almost every day, to the point where it becomes accumulated stress.
I don't want to break up with him... I still insist on my words but I don't want anyone to think that I'm living under its influence. Because it seems like I'm "weak."
Whether it's family business, personal life, or studies.
Even the thought system thinks that I'm controlled by him. Sometimes, I think it's true that I'm "weak" and that I have to rely on my partner all the time.
“Let him hurry up and gulp it down. If he waits any longer his wife might show up.” Can you see it? Even some of the guys in the drinking circle who I don't really know well seem to think I am influenced by Tay.
“Tay is quite intimidating, as far as I know...” One senior who I'm not familiar with, but I know enough to know that he's part of the gang, just like the high society guys. He seems to be thinking about something deeply.
“Oh! Look. That's it.” He managed to escape from the shackles and showed agreement.
“Oh, I always run into Time who follows his wife everywhere at auctions.”
“You do whatever the hell he wants, it makes things freaking easy, right!?” A senior guy lightly nudged me with his elbow. Before we hit the glasses, I smirked mischievously, and then gulped until the glass was empty once again.
“But what surprises me! You, Time! Such a suck-up. Tay managed to catch you many times and he always forgives you, do you wear some sort of a charm?”
“...” I didn't answer but turned to sip some ice water instead.
“But from another perspective, it's impressive, huh! How did this lackey manage to survive until today?”
“Yeah, right! A lady boss like this, knows how to point out a bird as a bird, and a stick as a stick. Silly fool, who would still be capable of causing trouble. Damn it, it's annoying...”
“In this case, it must be the worship of the Time the God, Time, huh?”
“What monk blessed charm are you wearing, won't you share the sacred thing with us?”
As soon as I reached this sentence, I instantly smiled and giggled, feeling a bit annoyed. In an instant, the uneasiness disappeared, leaving only a tiny sense of pride rising within me.
“Drink, guys, drinkkkk.” And then, at the table, we started again. The sound of glasses clinking mixed with live music “Drink, guys, drink, drink.” And then, at the table, we started dancing again. The sound of glasses clinking mixed with live music, creating a more enjoyable atmosphere inside the restaurant.
'Hey, one, two, three. I may not be the chosen one, but I want to tell you, lackey, if you understand, it's okay. If you don't understand, you'll be confused and lost, and if you get hit, it will surely trigger D A R K emotions .'
“Please serve that guy a cocktail.” I called the server boy and ordered a red cocktail for the young man, tipping the staff five hundred baht.
“Yes, sir.”
“I really want to remember every time I work and see beautiful ladies, it's inevitable for every man, it's necessary to make mistakes. If there's no conflict in the heart, it's impossible not to lie honestly, but I've never told anyone.”
“Yesss~, Time is attacking! Embarrassingly, the genius counselor, I see the college student look. Drink, fuck… drink...”
“Then tonight, if we don't get drunk we won't go home. If not drunk, not going home!!” The whole table applauded sincerely.
“Not like that, have to, Time has to, Time has to, Time has to, Time can't fail, hahaha!!” The guys sang the melody and stood up to have fun together.
The atmosphere in the restaurant is really lively, with flickering lights alternating. Along with singing, following the singers on the stage effortlessly. It feels like a college bar, and here I am in the university area. Whatever song everyone sings, I can join in, and I even start to get buzzing and intoxicated. Because you guys started drinking and teasing me, sipping on the liquor.
“Phii, I have a message for you from that junior.” The servant boy handed me a bottle of blue soda. Before my gaze could shift to the owner of the drink and raise a meaningful eyebrow, the boy smiled shyly, causing my friends and the table to burst into laughter uncontrollably.
“Hahaha! They're exchanging looks like this, let's just go for it.”
“Wait, hold on. Phii Time has his own routine. Just wait and see!”
“Routine? What kind of routine, Phii? I am going to pee for a sec.” I placed the glass on the table and struck a comfortable pose, unaffected by any laughter. Before going to the restroom.
[Restroom]
I walked over to the toilet, unzipped my pants, and took care of business. It's good that the restroom here looks clean, and people weren't too crowded. There are restrooms on both the left and right sides, so it's not too congested.
Oops~ I could sense someone walking behind me and opening the faucet, washing their hands next to the washbasin.
And... Bingo! It went according to the plan I had in mind...
“My name is Time, what's yours?” While I was managing to unzip my pants, my gaze inadvertently shifted to the washbasin, and I remembered it was that boy who I had kept my eye on from the beginning.
“Dea... the cocktail is delicious, thank you.” The boy grabbed a tissue to wipe his hands before turning to face me as I walked towards him from behind.
“Mine is delicious too, thank you.” I stopped and looked closely at Nong Dea, who seemed slightly embarrassed but still refused to back down, just like me. This is called a challenge...
“So... would you like to have another drink?” Nong Dea scooped up his gaze, combined with my smiling lips, and skillfully used both hands to push him, allowing Nong Dea's front to touch the edge of the basin before leaning against his waist and pretending to open the faucet to wash his hands smoothly, with a slightly shocked expression on his cheeks and small ears. I don't know if it's because of me or because of the effects.
“Do you have anything tastier than this?” I asked casually, and my eyes tried to sneak a glimpse of my own hands over Miss Nong Dea's shoulder.
“Well, I do.” Um... in this case, that's right. Excitement emerged within my chest, causing my heart to beat strangely, like waiting in line for a train ride, somehow.
Here it is! I have succumbed to the addictive challenge.
When the machine starts running, the swirling emotions inside, mixed with the power of alcohol, are about to explode. Honestly, I'm drunk, so bring it on, whether it's a whip, a pull, or having my father come and forbid it.
I turned my face and whispered in Nong Dea's ear, a soft sound...
“And if I want it, what should I do next?” I finished my sentence, and Nong Dea turned his face towards me seriously, our lips lightly brushing against each other.
“Well, let's give it a try then.”
The end of the permissive sentence always feels like a magnetic force pulling us both abruptly. We both pushed and pulled each other towards the bathroom, using our legs to close the door tightly, causing a loud noise but right now, I don't care anymore. Once in the private space, I quickly unbuttoned my shirt, revealing Nong Dea's student, with a smooth white chest and pink nipple buds that were tempting enough to make my heart go wild. I couldn't resist any longer, and I moved away from the kiss at the corner of our lips towards the fading bulge.
“Oh, stay calm, stay calm...” Nong Dea's voice came out with a roughness, but his body responded, allowing my tongue to wander across his chest. Moreover, his hand reached down and skillfully unzipped my pants, then he slid his hand inside, while I couldn't wait to release the belt buckle and quickly handle the organ that was growing as well as mine.
Thud! The sound of the bathroom door being forcefully pushed open from the outside interrupted our intimate moment for a moment, just briefly. And looking at each other's expressions, we didn't seem to care much, because after all, we were just ordinary intoxicated people. Then Nong Dea sat on her knees on the floor, pushing me so that my back hit the bathroom wall, before unbuttoning all of my pants and then starting to...
“Damn you, Earth!!!! Let me go!”
The sound of people arguing from outside didn't stop the actions in this bathroom at all when the warm and moist mouth of Nong Dea covered my masculine mouth fully. Moreover, he skillfully used his tongue to explore every inch of my cock, making my body twist along with biting my lips tightly to prevent any sound from escaping.
“Why are you here?”
“I can go wherever I want! It's my business!! Leave me alone!!!! “
Pow! Boom! The sound of arguing erupts, resembling a minor fight. It makes my hair stand on end even more than before. I use my hand to pull Nong Dea's hair and then pull his head towards me, twisting his body axis as much as possible. The deeper my cock went, the better it felt. The more he tries to resist, the more it stimulates my adrenal glands. I give him enough cock to the point of exhaustion.
“You are drunk! What the hell are you complaining about?! Why are you here now.”
“Hey, Earth! Don't mess with me!!! “
“Why did you choose not to come here? Is it because of BC? Right?”
“They have just opened a new pub and the guys invited me. Why are you in pain!!”
“It's not because she used to be my ex, right!...”
“God damn it, Earth!!! Let me go!! “
While inside the bathroom was boiling with arousal, the outside was still filled with endless complaints but why do I start to feel familiar with the noise? And then! While I was holding NongDea's head and his body rhythmically moved, a suspicion arose in my subconscious, causing me to slow down and the arousal feeling inside was about to fade away.
“Tem!!!!! I told you that is enough! Come back with me!!!”
“Hey, Earth! Don't drag my arms! Let me go!!! “
I knew it! This voice...
“You're talking nonsense. Got it! “
And it was actually Tem, and just as I was enjoying the feeling that seemed like a raging fire, it suddenly came to an end. Abruptly, it transformed into a different feeling that entered its place. I quickly push Dea's head off and unzip my pants before stepping out the door.
!!!!.
I saw a picture of Tem being attacked by that crazy guy. If I remember correctly, it was that singer on stage earlier. He was being kicked and dragged. His arms turned all red.
“What the hell are you doing! What are you doing?!!”
“Phii Time...
I saw that and I kicked him in the middle of his body. As for Nong Tem, when he saw me, he was slightly surprised and then slowly stepped back behind me.
“What the hell!” That singer, who seemed drunk, pushed himself up from the floor and looked at me in bewilderment.
“What are you doing to Tem?!” I pointed at him, and instead of feeling concerned, he acted as a substitute for the confusion. That made me forget that I haven't reached the dreamland yet.
“Why are you fooling around!”
“Tem, are you hurt?” I turned to Tem and saw that his arm was bleeding. It must have been caused by that crazy guy's nails digging into his flesh. Ouch!! Can I punch him again?
“Phii Time! That's enough!!” Just when I was about to kick him in the middle of his body, Nong Tem stopped me.
“What's going on!” Then suddenly, the pub's employees ran in a panic.
“Tem, Earth, what's happening!”
“Earth is drunk, Phii BC.” Tem replied with a slurred voice. It seems like he knows the people here too. I couldn't understand much in the bathroom earlier.
“And this...” It looks like the person named BC is looking at me. He's dressed better than anyone else, so I guess he must be the owner of the pub.
“He is a senior from my university”
“Ai’Earth, hey you! Get up right now. Everytime Nong Tem shows up here this asshole goes on a rampage. Sorry, but just this time, this asshole is drunk. Anyway, what should I do? Can I get you a discount please?” The staff came to support the guy named Earth, so I took a deep breath and came out with Tem.
“And...” I was about to turn to ask Tem, but it seems like I forgot something, and then Nong Tem looked at me, and I stumbled upon the shockingly open bathroom. Oh, and there's more.
“Wait a minute...” As I looked inside, I saw Nong Dea who was straightening his student uniform that made me not understand until I had to compose myself.
“We are going to continue, right?” Nong Dea asked me while looking at Tem with slightly narrowed eyes.
“Sorry, Nong Dea, but this time...”
Boom! Just as I was about to finish my sentence, Nong Dea walked excitedly out of the bathroom, making me shocked. What the hell is happening today! Even though I kicked the door open without realizing it. I heard Tem's voice, but deep down, I just wanted to fuck Nong Dea and cum and not doing that is so frustrating!
“Was it because of me...” When no one was around, Nong Tem scrutinized my body, my upper body was exposed, so I had to walk and grab my t-shirt to put it on.
“Ofcourse.”
“Did you come out to protect me? Do I have to thank you?” Nong Tem's voice was mischievous, chuckling. So I put on the t-shirt and had to turn to look at it. Now it took itself to sit at Tay's handwashing counter, all settled.
“Yeah, you're right.” I lifted my eyebrow to match Nong's playful pose and tucked my feet tightly against my waist.
“That's not good. Actually, you should thank me a bit more.” I wrinkled my brow at Tem's words until it made him laugh.
“If Tay finds out, he'll be jealous for sure!! Oh-oh!” I walked up to Tem and gently brushed his head, one time. Before he snatched the bottle of liquor that he held and opened the lid and raised it to his lips instantly.
“Hey, that's my liquor.” Nong Tem tried to snatch the bottle of liquor that seemed to have just been opened from my hand.
“What? Is that all you've got? I saved your life.” I turned the bottle of liquor away and kicked it in until it was left with half a bottle. As for Tem, he seemed fine now.
“What do you want, Phii Time, Phii BC gave you a freemium!” Nong Tem complained and came out big and tried to snatch the bottle from me again.
“What's the reward? For helping you?”
“Hoping for results?!”
“Of course. Otherwise, I'd probably... go to heaven then.” Without saying anything, I raise the bottle and take another sip. It's okay, really. Just suppressing the internal desire that seems to burst forth, it wants to come up again.
“Then I'll tell Phii Tay!” Nong Tem hugged his hands and looked at me with sparkling eyes.
“You would not dare.”
“Why wouldn't I dare? I could call and tell Tay right now.”
“Do it. If you can endure seeing me die.” I took another chug, this bottle is almost empty, but I... move my face closer. Tem had to give in and retreat.
“Beware of tormenting my own heart.”
Huh!
Tem made the same face again, and I still don't understand why I said that. I wonder if I'm drunk.
“Phii, you're really drunk. Come back, did you bring the car? Phii Time!!!” Suddenly, I find my neck weak, and my head feels heavy. Until I slump onto something soft.
“Here you go~” I hand the car keys to the person in front of me, Tem's image looks blurry, I was seeing four Tem.
“I just had a few drinks, I'll drive you home. Press the remote, will you? Phii Time!!!!” Then it's like someone's hand or something pushes my head out and pulls it back, dragging and pulling, suddenly, I keep walking forward.
“Or should I take you back to your friends? Where are your friends?”
“Take me back, Nong Tem.” I understand what the kid asked, but my eyes can't forget, and another thing is each of those guys probably took a boy and a girl and went to a hotel together. I think Tem should take on the burden, and I heard him sigh heavily too.
“Is the car parked in the parking lot? Walk nicely, Phii Time. Be conscious! Which car is it?” I was embraced by Nong Tem, smelled his fragrant cologne, and my face leaned on his shoulder, brushed against his arm, for a while, and I heard his murmurs frequently. Damn! So cute.
“Sit comfortably, fasten your seatbelt!” And I felt myself sitting on a soft seat, along with someone's hand buckling the seatbelt for me.
“And it's a BMW. If I drive and hit something, don't come asking for money later, okay?” Tem's voice remained loud and clear.
“So tell me where to go, Phii Time! Phii Time! Ohhh... Or should I call Tay?”
I don't know who this nong is talking to, but as soon as I heard the name Tay, I enthusiastically clapped my hands.
“Tay's gonna kill me for sure.”
“Are we going to run away?”
“Hmm... I feel like throwing up.” I quickly pointed to my mouth, and in a flash, I saw Nong Tem immediately searching for a bag in the car.
“Do you have a bag there?!” Tem asked me.
“Yes! It's in the glove compartment.” I straightened my legs and reached for the wallet, handing it to Tem. [1] the word for wallet also means bag
“Oops. Not this bag, whoops!! It's a plastic bag.”
“Oh.”
And then Tem bumped his way out with a hilarious expression that left me speechless. And now, he left the car window open and told me to vomit outside the car if I couldn't find a plastic bag.
I survived, and that annoying Nong Tem kept bombarding me with questions, but he probably won't get the right answer. Finally, the car came to a stop at a familiar dormitory.
“You handle it with Tay yourself.” I hesitated and responded, before feeling like I was being pushed forward and led away, down the corridor once again.
“Finally! Phii Time, ohhh, don't leave me, call Tay, hey!!!”
And then, I felt something soft, and the edges of my lips didn't feel any different from the back sheet. Oh, the warm touch of rich air filled with the faint scent of alcohol, making my mood hotter, and my hair stood on ends. I covered my face with both hands, before slowly revealing a small smirk and tasted the bittersweet flavor lingering with a hesitant heart, a taste I had never felt before.
It felt like... a first kiss, between me and Tay.
"Ugh!"
And just like that, my pleasant feeling vanished in an instant when something heavy came crashing into my stomach. Before the image faded abruptly, as if my hair had been cut off.
...
[Noon]
The sweet scent of instant noodles assaulted my nostrils. I began to try to forget with slow blinking, feeling a heavy headache that made me want to die. When I returned to the room last night, Tay hit my head.
“Wake up, and go take a shower, Phii Time.” But as Nong Tem's voice grew louder, my eyes widened from the sofa at the speed of light, and my head hurt so much it felt like my stomach and intestines were about to churn out.
“If you get up like this, your face will be ruined, that is my stuff you are wearing, and also your clothes, last night I washed them for you.”
Tem walked over and placed my clothes, and then the images in my mind slowly rewound like a tape, revealing how drunk I was and the top part of my hair was exposed, with just one hairspray on it. Fortunately, there was a thick blanket covering me to keep warm.
“What are you doing, Tem?” As soon as I started to think, I covered myself with the blanket and sat down, pretending to be a little girl in a drama, intending to tease my little brother. Because I realized just how much Tem was trying to send me home.
“Huh... look at your condition.” Tem, who was putting the instant noodles in a bowl, turned and immediately looked into my eyes.
“Aren't you responsible for that, Tem?” I still blamed it on him because it seemed like last night Tem had messed with my hair, like by a lot.
“I wiped the floor all night, wasn't it enough for you? Look at your own floor wiped clean, there!” Tem pointed towards the door of the room, tying the trash bag as if preparing to throw it away.
“Hehe, it's strange here, why do I have to wash my clothes every time?” I pretended to smile and walked, with only a hairspray left on my body, heading towards the cup of ramen.
“Is this yours?” I pointed to the bowl of noodles.
“Yes, but you are going to take a bath first.” Tem put clear water in the glass and slid it in front of me. I lifted it and drank without thinking, my throat was dry. It quenched my thirst instantly!
“Can I eat first? I feel dizzy and want something hot.” I spoke casually, picked up a chopstick and quickly put it into my mouth. Hot things like this go perfectly well with the moment.
Nong Tem is really skillful. He knows exactly what someone with a tired look like me needs to eat. It seems like he's trying to please me. Because right now he sent another cup of hot tea to me.
“Thank you so much!” I said as I was about to put some noodles into my mouth again.
“So, what did Tay say last night?” Tem's sentence ended. The noodle almost got stuck in my throat. I coughed like a sitcom, the timing was so exaggerated.
“[Cough]... [Cough]… what was that?” I slapped my own chest as I accidentally swallowed the noodle and it got stuck in my throat a little bit.
“Oops! After I finished checking on you, I called Tay.” Tem furrowed his brow. He got busy. I hurriedly made a somersault and kneed my way to the corner of the sofa to look for the phone.
“Darn it! The battery is dead!!” I tried to turn on the phone, but the battery was completely drained. Tem paused with an exasperated face and quickly ran to the bedroom to get the charger.
“And did he contact you?”
“No, I didn't call Tay either. I don't know him well, so I didn't want to bother him.” Tem started to look anxious and worried, as evident in his eyes.
“And last night, you were okay with it several times and said you would call Phii Tay yourself.” Tem recounted the events after. How could I have been okay with it? I was completely absent-minded. I connected the charger to make the device work for a moment before making the call without paying attention to any notifications.
TAY.
“Hello... Tay.”
[...] It was not a quiet voice that answered, but rather a stifled voice that struggled to break free.
“I was very drunk, and then the battery ran out. Here I am... staying. at..” I looked around the room in a daze.
“At Phii Golf's condo.” I told him I'm leaving, Tem seemed to hear me but didn't seem interested in anything and walked into his own bedroom. It seems like he wants me to have privacy.
The reason I mentioned being at Phii Golf's condo is that I didn't want to go into a long explanation. Otherwise, I would have to tell everything about where we were meeting last night, how I met Tem, and I just didn't want to make it complicated.
[...how many times, Time?] The shaky voice of my boyfriend made me more upset and frustrated than before I said, “I was really drunk, very drunk, so I want to hurry back right now.”
[Do you think I stayed waiting all this time?].
“No! As soon as I realized, I quickly charged my phone and called you”
[You lied to me... last night you said you'd be back by three. It's past noon and you still haven't shown up!] Tay’s voice started to become angry and frustrated.
“Tay, listen to me! I'm on my way back, I just fell asleep”
[Who do you think you are? Do you think I love you so much that I'll tolerate anything?!] Tay started slamming heavily.
“You are thinking too much.”
[While I... huh... think every day about how to make you happy, to give you a comfortable life... oh, you, why do you act like this with me!]
“Tay...” I took a deep breath before lowering the volume.
“I'm just coming home late”
[And how many times is it now! Don't think that you can do whatever you want just by closing your ears and eyes! You're not with Phii Golf...] I bit my lip tightly. Because in the end, I should be honest with Tay.
[So, where, where did you go to fuck another ones of your fuck buddies!!! Damn it!!!] At this point, Tay must be in a state of being too angry to listen.
“Tay, listen to me first”
[You've never seen what I've done... Oh no... I've done everything for you. I brought things from your family's gold shop. I mortgaged my house for you. My mom helped support your family's business and your dad's company abroad. It's not because of my family loan that that can continue. You can't understand!! I've never asked anything from you. Time, all I ask is... honesty with me, treat me well, love only me!!!]
And when Tay gets angry, he spits everything out, curses, says things I don't want to hear, and says things that hurt my feelings.
Okay, my family has been supported by Tay and his family a lot, so much that I don't know how to pay off this debt. And he knows very well how bad it makes me feel to speak like that.
“Take it easy. For now, I'm going back to you and we can talk.”
[Don't bother! I'm flying to visit my grandma in England, and you don't have to apologize like you always do. I've had enough... Damn it! ...I won't tolerate it anymore, you asshole!!!]
Tut-tut-tut.
And the line was cut off, along with me standing there motionless like that, then slowly, exhaling slowly. My eyes caught sight of the towel that Tem left behind, I slowly picked it up and wiped my tears. I walked into Tem's bedroom passing by the bathroom door inside, I caught a glimpse of him looking at me but still playing games on his phone as usual.
I took off my boxer shorts, then opened the showerhead to let the water wash away, along with the hurtful words, from my own lover just now. When Tay gets overwhelmed and loses control, it's always like this. I know very well how much I've hurt him, but even though I cheated physically, I never cheated emotionally, I never loved anyone like Tay. Never really, I've been with him because my love is real, but other factors like family or money, I can't deny they're involved, but for the whole time we've been together, I've never seen his money and financial support just as benefits, but because Tay is Tay to me from the beginning until now.
Even though Tay's words hurt me so much, what I've hurt him wouldn't be any different, but sometimes, when chasing after my own lover, being looked down upon, being protected like a lover all the time, it’s like I feel like I'm... a loser.
I feel that way, really.
It's suffocating, knowing that I feel like I'm standing beside someone who is stronger financially and more passionately than me. In reality, it should be my responsibility to lead alongside my lover, not knowing what to do. It's not the first time we've argued a bit. Every time it ends the same way, I thought of... changing, but the only solution I see is...
“We have to break up.” But I don't want to break up with Tay. I still believe in the same thing always.
....
I put on my own clothes and walked out of the bathroom, not seeing Nong Tem in the bedroom. So I opened the door and went to the guest room, just as soon as he returned to the room by coincidence. I saw the missing trash bag and thought he must have taken the trash out.
“Do you want to eat instant noodles, so I can cook fresh ones for you, or should I just skip it?” Tem smiled slightly at me, then walked over and asked with the most relaxed posture, but I showed a worried face unintentionally for a moment.
“The old bowl is worn out, should I get a new one, Phii Time? Phii Time~” Tem, noticing that I wasn't focusing, then diverted his gaze and lightly touched my face, with a cool gesture.
“Hmm.” I paused for a moment and smiled to welcome him.
“Sure, I'll cook fresh ones for you.”
I looked after Tem. At that moment the tension gradually faded, just by looking at him opening the instant noodle pack and pressing the hot water switch, a certain feeling gradually crept in.
Comforting... and life still seems at ease.
“Tem... would you like to go to the beach?”
TBC.
