[T/N] I apologize for grammar mistakes and incoherencies
Chapter 17.
Kamol took Kim, Itt, Salmon, and Kom to breakfast at the hotel. As for the other underlings, they have already ordered food to eat in the room because they have to be watching over Danai's underlings.
“It's fine, let's have a snack in the morning first. At noon we wait for Dai to wake up then go out to find something delicious to eat.” Kamol spoke out. Itt smiled before ordering food for himself and Salmon. As for Kamol, let Kim be the one to order more.
“Salmon, eat a lot, so you can grow up quickly” Kim spoke to Salmon who sat opposite himself.
“Huh.” Salmon responded with a big smile. Kim looked at the smiling boy and immediately thought of Baibun.
“I want to take Baibun on a trip like this.” Kim spoke up casually.
“Let's leave it for when I'm free, I'll take you to travel again.” Kamol said. Kim slightly turned to look at the hammer beside him.
“Wait till you are free? Probably next life. Khun Kamol.” Kim said back, while Itt secretly smiled.
“Too much, if you want to come just tell me in advance, and I'll finish the other tasks and bring you and Baibun here” Kamol told him back, Kim wrinkled his nose a bit.
“Let's do what you said.” Kim said that his voice was muffled. Kamol gave a small smile.
“Really! Kom came here and who drove Baibun to school?” asked Kim. When you can remember.
“Lop.” Kom replied. Kim nodded.
“If you are worried. Why not ask Baibun from Auntie Nee to be your child? Hmm.” Kamol teasingly asked. Kim paused for a moment before turning to look at Kamol's face.
“Actually, will Auntie Nee agree?” Kim immediately asked.
“Really? I'm joking.” Kamol asked jokingly.
“Who is Baibun?” Itt asked out of curiosity.
“He's Auntie Nee's grandson, Khun Kamol's housekeeper. Baibun is so cute, Itt.
At first, I thought he was a girl. Seeing that he was abandoned by his mother,
Khun Kamol let him stay with Auntie Nee who was Baibun's grandmother. Khun Kamol sent it to him to study.” Kim said it with a smile when he thought of the young man Baibun.
“If Baibun had grown up to be a young man 18-19, I would be jealous of you Kim.” Kamol said it straight away Kim turned to look at Kamol's face with furrowed brows.
“Jealous about what.” Kim asked back.
“Well, you just call for Baibun, talk about and say you miss Baibun. I don't see how you talk about or miss me at all.” Kamol said with a tease.
“Are you crazy? Sitting here together, what are you thinking, weird, Mafia dingdong?” Kim said it out, causing Kom and Itt to secretly smile but didn't dare to laugh.
“What's a ding-dong, Uncle Itt.” Salmon asked Itt.
“That's it, you explained it to Salmon. Kim, I doubt that.” Kamol said with a smile that he wasn't angry or offended at what Kim said he was like at all. Kim looked at Salmon’s face and smiled faintly.
“It's kind of crazy to say nonsense and something like that.” Kim gave a brief explanation, and Salmon grinned widely.
“So, Uncle Itt is crazy.” Salmon spoke up, causing Itt to almost choke on the water he was drinking. The others laughed and laughed.
“Why do I like that?” Itt asked back.
“Uncle Dai likes that Uncle Itt speaks nonsense, doesn't it mean ding-dong?” Salmon asked again before laughter rang out on the table at the little boy's words. Itt sat a little embarrassed before continuing to eat until he was full then went back to his room. Kom took Salmon to buy a toy at a store near the hotel because the little boy cried, but Itt wouldn't buy it for fear of Dai complaining.
Kom bought it for himself. Kim and Kamol went to stay in Kim's room.
“Kim, the bags will be prepared.” Kamol spoke while leaning against the head of the bed watching TV. Kim, who had just walked out of the bathroom, raised his eyebrows a bit.
“Bags? Why?” Kim asked back.
“Well, I'm taking you home today.” Kamol said with a calm look on Kim's face.
“No, I'm going to go back and forth with Dai and Itt.” Kim growled a little.
“But I have some business that needs to be settled quickly,” Kamol said again.
“You can go back first; I can go back later.” Kim still refused.
“I've been trying to get here, so don't be stubborn.” Kamol said in a calm voice.
Kim sat down at the foot of the bed, his back angrily turned to Kamol.
“You came because of necessity, try not to disturb people like last night, you wouldn't even think to pick me up yourself. Whoever thinks of chasing them away will chase them, things to come, and pick them up.” Kim said with a sullen voice. Kamol moved to Kim who was sitting at the foot of the bed before straddling him from behind with his slender waist and hugging him.
“I didn't kick you away, so don't misunderstand! I'm really worried about you so don't be too stubborn with me, let's go home together, Kim, don't you miss Baibun?” Kamol quoted Baibun up causing Kim to be a little calm.
“Actually, Khun Kamol. Last night you said you would tell me all the issues, but you haven't told me yet.” Kim spoke up. When you can remember.
“I'll tell you when we go home, okay?” Kamol asked with a kiss on his cheek.
“You are always like this Khun Kamol. If you don't want to tell, you don't have to.” Kim immediately yelled. Kamol breathed a sigh of relief.
“If I tell you, will it make you hate me more?” Kamol spoke in a serious tone. In fact, he also didn't want Kim to get too much exposure to his illegal work because he didn't want Kim to feel bad, just letting him know about the pub and bar business would be enough in Kamol's opinion. Hearing Kamol's question, Kim was a little quiet.
“I've said that before! Then I'll say it again.” Kim spoke with a reverse look at him. Kamol gave a small smile before deciding to briefly tell Kim about his troubles with Chen and his old problems with Danai. Kamol also told him about his business dealing with illegal weapons. Kim sat quietly listening but both of his eyebrows furrowed.
“Khun Kamol, I really want to ask. What kind of business are you doing now, can you tell me all about it?” Kim asked in a serious tone as well.
“I run 5 pubs. There are 2 that have an illegal casino inside and people can buy and sell illegal weapons.” Kamol replied.
“What about the drugs? Are you involved in any of these?” Kim asked again.
“No, I don't like drugs at all.” Kamol replied in a normal tone.
“What about the human traffickers?” Kim asked as much as he could think of what the Dark Side did.
“This is more problematic; I hate it so much.” Kamol answered truthfully. Kim breathed a sigh of relief.
“Simply put, the illegal thing you are doing right now is opening casinos and selling weapons.” Kim asked again.
“That's about it. Oh, we have an illegal loan shark in the casino too.” Kamol added one more thing, the face is tucked on Kim's thin shoulder.
“Have you ever thought about quitting these illegal businesses?” Kim asked what he thought. Kamol was a little calm.
“Honestly, I've never thought of that.” Kamol answered honestly in a flat tone.
Kim sat in silence and Kamol was silent.
“ Kim? What's wrong?” Kamol asked. When he saw Kim was silent for a moment.
“What did you bring me in with you for?” Kim asked casually.
“My wife.” Kamol replied. Kim turned to look at Kamol's face with a worried look.
“Then, let me exercise my rights. You need to start thinking about what we talked about just now.” Kim said it in a serious tone, making Kamol stunned. He didn't think Kim would ask himself to start thinking about quitting the illegal business.
“Can I think about it first?” Kamol honestly said that he didn't want to appease Kim but anyway because quitting and stepping out of this industry is quite difficult.
“When you decide, tell me.” Kim said as he unwrapped Kamol's hand that he hugged himself and went up to bed to watch TV. Kamol breathed a sigh of relief.
“OK, let's go home together today.” Kamol asked about the present first. Kim nodded but didn't say anything. At noon Kamol invited Kim to go out of the room to see if Dai had woken up yet.
“So, are you awake? Tiger, let's eat.” Kamol invited him when he saw Dai sitting with Itt and Kom before leaving the villa and taking them to eat. While eating, Kim had already told Dai and Itt that he would be returning with Kamol today.
After having finished eating, they all returned to the hotel.
“If you are free, you can stop by to visit the house, Dai.” Kamol spoke.
“Yes.” Dai accepted before Kamol and Kim got it and Kamol's underlings returned. Danai's underlings who were arrested were also taken in another Kamol's black van, which was coincidentally seen by Kim when the three were taken into the vehicle.
“Where are you taking those three?” Kim asked while sitting in the car on the ferry because Kamol won't let him get out of the car. As for the other underlings, some went out to stand outside the car.
“We are taking them to deliver them to their boss.” Kamol replied and Kim frowned in confusion.
“Delivery?” Kim repeated Kamol's words.
“Yes...let's go, as soon as we reach Bangkok, I'll have someone to send you home first. I'm going to send them to Danai's house.” Kamol said back, Kim immediately turned to look at Kamol's face.
“I want to go too!!” Kim quickly sang along.
“Why are you going?” Kamol asked in a tense voice.
“I'm going to look at the face of the guy who thinks he's kidnapped me and hurts Itt and Salmon. You don't stop me, Khun Kamol.” Kim spoke in an irritated tone. Kamol laughed at Kim's expression, who would have thought Kim could be so reckless.
On his way back to Bangkok, the sky had darkened, but Kamol still headed straight to Danai's house as he had originally intended. Not long after, Kamol's car stopped in front of Danai's house, where the gate to the entrance to Danai's house was heavily guarded. When Danai's side learned that Kamol and his men had arrived, they quickly informed the Boss himself. Kom was given the duty to get out of the car and went straight to the group of Danai's underlings standing in front of the gate with both hands raised to show that he had no intention of doing anything. While Danai's underlings only looked at Kom hesitantly, daring because he didn't know where Kom was coming from. Kom went down to tell Danai's underlings that Kamol wanted to meet with Danai as discussed on the phone. After a while, Danai walked out with dozens of bodyguards.
“Wait in the car, Kim.” Kamol spoke to Kim in a low voice.
“Why don't you let me go in too?” Kim asked back. His gaze turned to Danai as he walked out.
“You said you wanted to come and see Danai's face, didn't you? You are just sitting in the car watching, besides I don't know what the situation outside is going to be, so take precautions, I don't want anything to happen to you.” Kamol said in a serious tone. Kim gave a grunt in his throat before Kamol held Kim's head and gave a light kiss to his temple.
“A good boy is waiting for me in the car.” Kamol spoke.
“Are you guys really here?” Danai spoke to Kom. When he came out to the gate of the house, which opened wide and. Seeing that Danai has come out. Kamol opened the car door, and Danai slightly averted Kamol's gaze.
“What do you want when you decide to come to me at home? Khun Kamol.” Danai asked in a calm tone. Kamol gave a slight smile, and now some of Kamol's underlings are standing beside Kamol as well.
“I just realized that you welcome guests by having them stand in front of the gates and talk like this. Aren't you going to invite me in for a drink?” Kamol asked back in a normal tone, but Kom's eyes narrowed at who. That person seemed to break through the eyes of Kom.
“I know you won't be here for long. Is it true? Better talk about your business.” Danai gave up his manners and indirectly dismissed Kamol, which Kamol was well aware of.
“Huh, you don't have to be so fast. We have a lot of time to talk, I'll bring your stuff tonight, remember right? That's what I said on the phone.” Kamol reviewed his memory, Danai was silent for a bit, knowing full well that Kamol had brought his underlings back.
“Rutt, have someone bring them down.” Kamol turned to his underlings. Rutt walked to the black van and had someone take Danai's henchmen, and toss him on the ground between Danai and Kamol. Danai looked at his underling with gritted teeth, the condition he saw he knew how hard his underling was hit. Fortunately, they didn't die and he couldn't help but get mad at his own underlings, for spoiling their plans.
“I've taught them a little bit; I hope you don't mind.” Kamol said again, Danai looked at Kamol's displeasure.
“So, what?” Danai asked back. Kom looked at Danai with a disdainful look wishing to go straight and stomp it upside down, where the other party drew a face at his boss.
“There is no so what, I just want to tell you that your old dirty method like this, stop using it, it's not suitable for a modern person like you. If you want something, take the courage to come and speak to me directly, I might be kind enough to listen to you.” Kamol said it out loud, telling everyone that Kamol was intentionally taunting Danai who was not cowardly. Dare to approach him directly like Kamol is doing now.
“Don't deny it, Khun Danai, that you didn't order your underlings to capture
Khun Kim.” Kom interjected first. Seeing that Danai would say something which Kom himself could guess that the other party would refuse made Danai pause for a moment.
“When I came, I didn't want to argue, but to warn. This time I'm not going to bother you, but don't let me find out what you are thinking of doing like this again because next time you should be ready to step into the battle with your full strength, Danai.” Kamol said at the same time. and stared at Danai with cold eyes.
“Are you threatening me? Khun Kamol.” Danai gritted his teeth and asked, feeling the shame of being threatened in front of his own underlings and Kamol's. Kamol smiled at the corner of his mouth.
“Huh? Has someone like me ever threatened anyone? Danai.” Kamol asked back with a sneer before giving a serious look at Danai.
“I just hope you won't put an end to your family where you are the last in it.” Kamol spoke again, in an awkward atmosphere.
“Really? I came for just this. I brought your underlings over, but some of them might not be complete, I just ordered a puncture for those touching my close person only.” Kamol told him it was normal. Danai gritted his teeth if he could let his own people attack Kamol now, but Danai took a big risk. Besides, Danai doesn't know how much Kamol has his underlings following him because Kamol may have some hidden parts. To play with Kamol, Danai had to think more than ever because he relied on the moment Chen attacked Kamol during this time, lagging behind Kamol again. But he still missed.
“If there's nothing else, I'm going to have to go back to rest first, you get plenty of rest Danai, rest enough.” Kamol repeated his words.
“Wait!!” But before Kamol could walk back to the car or Danai could say anything, Kim opened the door and got out of the car. Danai furrowed his brow, he didn't think Kamol's lover would come along. Kamol also looked at Kim's face tense because he ordered a thin figure to wait in the car but Kim still stubbornly came down.
“Kim, get back in the car.” Kamol scolded. Kim squinted his eyes at Kamol.
“Of course, I will, but let me handle my business a bit.” Kim spoke in a deep voice. Kamol's and Danai's underlings, all looking puzzled at Kim, what business
Kim has to offer. Kim walked straight to Danai, Danai's underlings were ready, but Danai raised his hand to stop them because he knew that Kim had no weapons to harm him and he also wanted to know what was the business Kim said. Kom also moved to prepare in case of emergency situations.
...
Punch!!
“Boss!!” The voice of Danai's underlings called their boss loudly. As for Danai's face, blood immediately fell from his mouth when Kim was directly punched in the cheeks at the corner of his mouth. To everyone's shock, Kamol's underlings intervened and blocked Kim. Kamol grabbed Kim's wrist as well.
“Let go!” Kim yelled at Kamol with his hand outstretched before breaking out of Kamol's henchmen to stand at Uncle Danai again.
“The punch just now, I repaid you for trying to kidnap me, and this part!” Kim spoke with his feet up.
Punch!!
“Hey.” Danai's underling cried out again when Kim kicked into the middle of Danai's stomach again until he collapsed a bit but was supported by his underlings.
“Okay...stop.” Danai yelled to tell his underlings who moved as if to go straight to deal with Kim. As for Kamol, he didn't stop, he just stood there with a satisfied smile on his face.
“That kick just now, I reciprocated for your underling hurting my junior and his nephew as well.” Kim mentioned Itt and Salmon, who got hurt because of this too. When he finished speaking, Kim walked to stand beside Kamol by himself.
“Huh, sorry Danai. I really couldn't stop my lover in time but I can't help it, you made Kim angry.” Kamol was mocking, rather than saying sorry.
“You are a very brave, pretty boy who treats me like this.” Danai said that his voice was turbulent and the pain and the nipples weren't healed.
“That mouth is speaking again? Do you want to get another punch?” Kim immediately yelled out when he heard the other person calling himself a pretty boy.
“Shh, calm down” Kamol patted Kim's back lightly.
“Let's go back. I want to take a shower and take a break.” Kim turned and spoke to Kamol in a grumpy voice.
“Okay, we are going back, I'm going back, Danai. Hope you remember what I said earlier.” Kamol told me back before taking Kim to the car. Kom was about to walk back to the car, remembered something, and turned to look at Danai with a satisfied smile ahead.
“Oh, I forgot to tell you something, the brother and nephew that Khun Kim was talking about. Just now, we were Dai's lover and dearest nephew...Khun Danai.” Kom spoke before walking back to Kamol's car. As for Danai, he was already completely stunned.
... ...
“What are you smiling at?” Kim immediately asked. As he drove out of front of
Danai's house and was heading towards Kamol's home, Kim noticed that both Kamol. Kom and the driver sat smiling a bit but upon hearing Kim's question, their expressions changed to normal.
“No.” Kamol replied to him.
“So, what's your smile for? Kom.” Kamol immediately threw it to Kom. Kom turned to look at his boss for a bit before giving a faint smile to Kim who was looking at Kom wanting an answer.
“It's nothing much. I've been thinking that Khun Kim, really deserves to be your wife.” Kom has been telling the truth.
“You are thinking like me, Kom.” Kamol said something, causing Kim to turn around and look at Kamol's face.
“Which? Just now you said nothing. When Kom spoke, you immediately agreed, Khun Kamol.” Kim yelled at Kamol. Kamol smiled kindly as he hugged his thin waist tightly.
“So, fierce.” Kamol spoke with a light kiss on his cheeks which instantly made Kim's face blush because Kom was looking at him. Kom. When he saw the picture of his boss, he kissed Kim's cheek. He turned around and looked at the front as before because he didn't want Kim to be more embarrassed than the person who was in trouble was his boss.
“Khun Kamol!” Kim gave a grunt, his face flushed. Kamol gave a light chuckle that made Kim stop ranting about the same issue. Soon he arrived at Kamol's house. Kim and Kamol walked straight into the house.
Kim walked up to the bedroom. As for Kamol, he breaks into his office first.
After taking a shower and changing clothes, Kim walked down to Kamol's office.
Some figure knocked on the door before opening it, and found that 3-4 of Kamol's underlings were sitting with stress on their faces.
“What's wrong? Kim.” Kamol asked, stop talking about work immediately.
“I'm hungry. Can I have something to eat in the kitchen?” Kim came to ask first.
“Have someone call Auntie Nee to do it.” Kamol told him back. Kim furrowed his brows.
“It's late, Khun Kamol, let Auntie Nee take a break, besides I can do it myself.” Kim told me back. Kamol smiled slightly.
“Okay, as you wish. If you want something more, tell my crew.” Kamol said it and Kim nodded in agreement, but when moved he turned and walked away and his thin figure came to a halt at the thought of something. I can. Kim turned to look at Kamol, who was sitting there looking at Kim in surprise, why did he stop?
“You wanna eat together? I'll get a cook in case.” Kim asked in a low tone that made Kamol smile.
“If you intend to cook for me, I'll eat it.” Kamol told him back. Kim pursed his lips, daring not to directly meet Kamol's eyes.
“Well...when it's done, I'll call you.” Kim said that before quickly walking out of Kamol's office. Kamol smiled behind him with satisfaction and was glad that Kim had begun to adjust to him somewhat, not showing any resistance as before.
TBC.
Chapter 5 (Kom x Baibun)
“Are you full?” Kom asked when he saw that Baibun had finished eating the bowl of congee.
“I'm so full.” Baibun replied with a hand stroking his stomach. Kom gave a small smile before paying the seller and took Baibun back to the bus again to take him to school. As soon as we got closer to school, Kom noticed that Baibun had a bad expression on his face.
“Baibun, what's wrong?” Kom asked if the boy had a stomachache or something, Baibun turned to look at Kom's face.
“I'm so excited Phii Kom and also scared.” The young man told him back. Kom raised his eyebrows slightly.
“What are you scared of?” Kom asked.
“It's the new school that I have to study in. It looks too good to me.” The young man is still worried about this because the closer the school is the more pressure. Because the environment in the new school is very different from the old school, so are the people.
“Don't think too much! It's the same in every school. You've just attended school on the first day, so you feel tense.” Kom said, smiling back and raising one hand to gently stroke Baibun's head, causing the young man to feel warm in his heart, his fear gradually fading little by little.
“If I have reached school. Phii Kom, will you go down and send me too?” The young man asked softly.
“Yep! I have to take you to the advisor first, then I go back.” Kom said that it gave Baibun a little relief. Shortly after arriving at Baibun's new school, Baibun looked out of the car with excitement. There are many students gradually walking into the school. Kom contacted the security guard at the entrance before driving inside. Kom has parked at the parents' car park.
“Pick up the bag from the car already.” Kom gave a warning. Baibun immediately took his things out of the car; a quick young man came to stand beside him. Kom quickly because some of the students turned to look at Baibun with interest and wonder. Kom led Baibun to the teacher's room, followed closely by Baibun following Kom's hem. Kom took Baibun to contact his advisor.
“Phii Kom, are you going to go back?” The young man asked with a puzzled look.
“Hmm, so don't look like that! You look like a kindergartener who has just arrived at a new school.” Kom teased the young boy to relieve his excitement.
“I'm not a kindergartener at all.” The boy said with a trembling voice. Kom smiled slightly at that gesture.
“If not, then I have to stop looking like I've been forced to come, then in the evening, I will pick you up. Just sit and wait in a chair under the tree over here, you know?” Kom spoke with Pointing Baibun to his meeting point with Baibun, the young man nodded before raising his hand to pay respects to Kom.
“Thank you.” Baibun spoke and Kom nodded with a smile.
“Phii Kom came to pick me up quickly in the evening.” The young man begged before Kom walked away.
“Okay then you'll be quick, you can go find the teacher now.” Kom said that Baibun walked out to send Kom in front of the teacher's room. When Kom walked away. Baibun returned to his advisor.
“Wait, you sit here and wait, wait for everyone to enter the classroom first and the teacher will take you to introduce yourself to your friends in the room again.” The advisor said. He left Baibun to sit and wait in the teacher's room. As he went out to take care of the order, Baibun sat and waited until it was time to go to class. The advisor came back.
“Take the bag and follow the teacher here.” A female advisor spoke up. Baibun quickly picked up his bag and followed immediately, the young man was very excited to meet new friends and new surroundings, and the sound of the students talking loudly in the room. Baibun tried to remember his own path and room along the way as he followed Master.
“Wait here for a moment. If the teacher calls, go and introduce yourself to your friends.” The teacher said again.
“Huh.” Baibun responded. As soon as the young teacher walked into the room, the students almost immediately fell silent.
“Okay, everyone. Today I have a new friend to introduce to everyone. If he has a reason to move to study here in the middle of the semester, please take care and recommend friends, you know.” The advisor spoke up.
“Female or male? Teacher.” A woman's voice rang out.
“Male.” The advisor replied, amidst the booing of the boys made Baibun even more upset, for fear that no one would want to be his friend.
“Baibun, you can come in.” The teacher called before the young man took a deep breath and thought of Kom's face and cheered up. Baibun stepped into the classroom and found that there were about 40 male and female students sitting at their desks. Hilarious noises rang out as Baibun stood next to the teacher.
“Introduce yourself.” The advisor said smiling. Baibun looked at his new friend in the room before bowing his head slightly because he was still a little nervous.
“Uh...my name is Baibun... please meet you.” Baibun said in a low voice.
“He's such a cute teacher, are you sure it's a boy?” A female student asked with a smile.
“Guys, let's find a seat for Baibun first.” The female teacher said while looking for a space for Baibun.
“Teacher? Let him sit next to me.” A tall male student raised his hand and said, causing Baibun to look up.
“Oh? So, Baibun, go sit next to Satit, he's also the class leader, Satit, anyway, I am going to ask you to take care of Baibun and take him on a school tour too.” The female teacher said.
“Yes.” The young man responded. Baibun took his bag and walked fearfully towards the room facing the room because the other party was taller than Baibun, but compared to Kom, Satit still looked smaller anyway.
“Sit.” Satit spoke up. Baibun dropped his bag and sat down in a chair next to Satit. With Satit sitting next to the window at the back of the room, the friends sitting at the table in front and next to each other turned to introduce themselves before being encouraged by the teacher to start the first class.
...
“Phii Kom? Where have you been?” A young woman immediately asked Kom when she saw Kom get out of the car.
“I sent Baibun to school.” Kom's reply made the girl's face a little stiff.
“Why do we have to send him, so he can take the bus by himself? He's not the boss's child anywhere, just someone who asked to live here.” The woman spoke with disdain, seeing almost everyone taking care of Baibun. Kom looked at the young woman still.
“So, May you want me to take these words of what you said to me, and say them to the boss! In case the boss changes his mind not to let me send Baibun, it's not just Baibun who asked to live here alone. We all came here to live as well, so don't forget your own.” Kom spoke in a calm tone and looked at the girl with a slight scolding look that made the girl freeze.
“I haven't forgotten, I just don't want Phii Kom to have a hard time taking care of someone other than the boss.” The girl said softly.
“It's not difficult, besides, the boss has told me to take care of Baibun too, is there anything else? If not, I'm going to take a rest.” Kom just said that and didn't wait for the young lady's answer. Kom immediately went back to his homestead, causing the woman to stand with her fists clenched in frustration.
...
“This is our school canteen. If you want something to eat, buy and eat at the table, then you have to keep the plates there.” Satit told Baibun during lunch break; Satit had to take Baibun apart from his group of friends. The room that surrounded Baibun and asked questions until the young man began to lose his face because he had never seen anyone ask himself like this before.
“Thank you very much, Pai.” Baibun responded with a smile because Satit had Baibun call him by his nickname instead of his real name.
“Grade 3 so we will take a break with seniors from Grade 5 and Grade 6 in the afternoon. As for juniors from Grade 1 and Grade 2, they take a break with seniors from Grade 4 at noon.” Pai said again.
“Hoy? Pai, where did you take that cute boy.” A loud greeting made Baibun and Pai turn to look before Baibun saw a group of Grade 5-6 senior males walking towards them.
“He is a new student, Phii San, whose name is Baibun.” Pai replied. The person named San looked at Baibun's face with a wry smile before touching Baibun's bright cheeks, causing Baibun to be quite shocked.
“So, cute. If you don't wear pants, I think he's a girl.” San said with a smile.
Baibun quickly moved behind Pai.
“Ah, embarrassed bro. Don't be embarrassed, anyway, let's have a closer look at his face.” Teasingly teasing, but Pai blocks a little.
“Don't tease Baibun, Phii. I'll take Baibun to get some food first.” Pai replied, San nodded jokingly.
“Well, don't forget to go to the gym this evening and bring Nong Baibun with you. The name of the person is cute, and the body is cute.” San teases again.
Baibun unconsciously grabbed Pai's shirt from the back.
“Yes.” Pai accepted before taking Baibun to walk to the restaurant in the cafeteria immediately.
“Afraid?” Pai asked. Baibun nodded his head.
“Why are you scared, he didn't do anything, Phii San was just teasing you.” Pai told him back.
“Well, I'm not used to this big guy. When I was in my old school. Bigger friends were always teasing me.” Baibun talked to Pai.
“I'm bigger than you, Baibun. Why aren't you scared of me?” Pai asked, smiling.
“At first, I was scared, but when you talk to me, you are kind, you explain the math problem to me.” Baibun spoke with a big smile. Because when studying Math, this school was a lot ahead of his old school, causing Baibun to need to catch up at first. But with Pai always explaining, Pai looked at Baibun still and smiled.
“Pai, you are just like Phii Kom. Phii Kom is also big. At first, I was scared of Phii Kom, but Phii Kom was kind. Even if he likes to force me, Phii Kom is very kind to me.” Baibun talked about Kom.
“Who is Phii Kom?” Pai asked curiously.
“Phii Kom is my elder brother, this evening Phii Kom will come to pick me up. I'll introduce you to him.” Baibun said again, Pai nodded before inviting Baibun to buy lunch.
...
“Has he had lunch yet?” Kom muttered to himself as he sat at home eating. He was worried about Baibun, whether he could get along with his classmates and if he dared to go buy lunch or not.
“Auntie Nee?” Kom called Auntie Nee who was walking past.
“What's up Kom. Do you want to add anything?” Auntie Nee asked.
“No, that's enough. I was going to ask if Baibun has a mobile number.” Kom asked.
“None.” Auntie Nee told him back.
“So, I can't contact you like this.” Kom asked again.
“Well Baibun, no one he would have to chat with, besides, his mother wouldn't buy it for you.” Auntie Nee said again.
“Is that so? Thank you, Auntie.” Kom replied before continuing to eat and thinking about the cell phone.
...
After school.
The bell rang for the end of the last class, and the students packed their bags and prepared to go home.
“Baibun, how are you going back?” The female student's voice asked.
“I am waiting for Phii Kom to come to pick me up.” Baibun replied with a smile, Baibun's new classroom friends are quite nice and friendly. But there might be some that don't talk much with Baibun. Baibun tried to talk to people who talk more to himself.
“Phii Kom, your brother?” The girl asked again. Baibun nodded and smiled as he packed his things.
“When will Baibun's brother come to pick you up?” Pai asked some questions.
“Phii Kom said that after school, I should go wait under the Malabar tree in front of the building.” Baibun said with a smile.
“Well, then we'll accompany you.” Pai said back before grabbing Baibun's bag and holding it.
“Pai, that's my bag.” Baibun protested.
“We hold it for you, let's go.” Pai replied before walking out of the room causing Baibun to quickly follow as well, Pai took Baibun to sit and wait for Kom under the Malabar tree.
“Pai Woah, Phii San summoned us to the gym.” The shouts of a friend rang out. “Wait a minute, I 'll sit with Baibun's friend for a moment, and tell Phii San too.” Pai yelled back.
“Pai, you can go. I can wait alone.” Baibun said cautiously.
“Are you sure? Aren't you scared of people teasing?” Pai asked back.
“It's okay, Phii Kom will come soon. Pai, you go, wait you will be punished by seniors if you are late.” Baibun told him with concern because he didn't want to cause Pai to get punished.
“Okay... Baibun, do you have a phone number?” Pai asked again. Baibun shook his head, Pai raised his eyebrows puzzled before taking a piece of paper and writing down his phone number, and handing it to Baibun.
“This is my number. If you don't understand any homework, feel free to call and ask.” Pai said again. Baibun smiled at him.
“Thank you.” Baibun spoke before Pai got up and ran towards the gym. Baibun packed Pai's phone number in his own stationery bag and sat and waited for Kom for a while. A familiar luxury car drove into the parking lot. As soon as Kom's tall figure stepped out of the car. Baibun smiled broadly and quickly got up and walked over to him.
“Hello, Phii Kom.” Baibun raised his hand to pay homage to Kom.
“How long have you been waiting?” Kom asked while stroking the boy's head. Many students turn to look at Kom and Baibun periodically. Maybe it's because of the extreme differences between the two. Baibun was a bright, cute little boy, while Kom was tall and tall with a faint beard and looked scary in the eyes of many.
“Not for long.” Baibun replied with a smile before Kom let him get in the car.
“Ah, I stopped by to buy it for you.” Kom gave Baibun a strawberry smoothie, and the young man raised his hand and accepted it to drink.
“It's delicious, Phii Kom. Phii Kom, you are the kindest.” The young man said with a smile. Kom gave a small smile before driving out of the school.
“How was your first day of school?” Kom asked about the situation today.
“There's a lot of homework.” Baibun said back with a look on his face. Kom smiled.
“Do you have any friends yet?” Kom kept asking.
“I have it, everyone comes to talk to me too. But I still don't dare to talk much, I'm still excited.” Baibun told him back while drinking strawberry juice.
“But there is one person who is very kind to me. He's a class leader named Pai, Pai took care of me very well and took me to school and taught me where I didn't understand.” The young man told him back. Kom smiled.
“Well, Baibun, you've got a good friend, I'm fine. Next time, introduce me to him, I'll know who Baibun's friends are.” Kom told him back.
“Yes.” Baibun responded before Kom drove all the way to the house. Baibun raised his hand to everyone he met at home. The young man wanted to pay respect to Kamol and Kim, but Kamol's underling said that Kamol was asleep. So, Baibun didn't bother me anyway.
“Can you do your homework yourself?” Kom asked as he walked to Baibun's home.
“Huh, er, then Phii Kom, where are you going next?” Baibun asked again.
“Wait, I have to take the boss and Khun Kim out to buy stuff. Do you want anything? I'll buy it for you.” Kom asked. Baibun shook his head before Kom walked apart to find Kamol and Kim. As for Baibun, he went to do his homework in his own room before the little figure was shocked by the condition of the room because suddenly the bed, wardrobe, desk, and shelf were all in brand-new condition. Added in his own room both sheets and blankets. Everything was replaced, and Baibun quickly ran to his grandmother.
“Grandma Ha, Grandma.” Baibun called his grandmother in an excited tone that made May and Miss Da look at them as well.
“What's up? Baibun, you sound shocked.” Auntie Nee asked.
“Wha...why does my room have a room full of stuff? then...then...how did they come? Everything is new.” The boy asked in a hoarse voice, the young man's grandmother smiled slightly and thought of the person who bought it for him.
...
//Kom? I think it's too much; you don’t need to do this.// Auntie Nee said to Kom, who arranged to carry stuff into Baibun's room.
//It’s no issue, Auntie. I wanted Baibun to be in a good environment, I've seen his motel and I feel bad. Baibun would like to have his own private room. Auntie maybe you don’t need to be so worried, let's say I bought it for my brother//.
Kom said it made Auntie Nee couldn't help but appreciate it.
...
“Who bought it for me? Grandma.” Baibun asked again.
“Kom bought it for you, so don't forget to thank him.” The young man's grandmother said that caused the other girl to freeze a bit and look at Baibun with envy. Baibun gave a big smile before quickly running towards Kom.
...
Mmm!
The shock from behind caused Kom to turn his head as he realized that a small arm was wrapped around him from behind. Before a young boy's broad smile with tears in his eyes which did not flow down, however.
“Ah? Baibun, what are you doing here? Who said he had homework? Why are you not doing it?” Kom asked a question causing Lop, who was standing with Kom talking to secretly smiled a little. The young man rubbed his face against Kom's back to stop the tears from flowing.
“I love you Phii Kom, I love Phii Kom the most.” The young man said it in a muffled voice that made Kom's heart skip a beat when he heard the words the young man said. Kom then brought the young man to stand in front of him, Kom felt his heart pumping harder than ever.
“Which? What.” Kom asked again, the young man wiped the corners of his eyes because he didn't want to cry out for Kom to see. Even if they are tears of joy and happiness.
“Grandma said you bought something for me, right?” The young man asked immediately. Kom nodded.
“Thank you Phii Kom. Phii Kom, you are good to me.” The young man said again while raising his hand to pay respect to Kom.
“Do you like it?” Kom asked.
“I like it, the blue bedding is so pretty.” The young man said with a smile. Kom gently rubbed the young man's head.
“If you like it's good, you can go do your homework.” Kom has spoken. Baibun nodded his head before hurriedly running towards the villa. When Baibun ran, Kom turned to look at Lop.
“What are you smiling at? Lop.” Kom asked in a darker tone, a calm face, completely different from when talking to Baibun.
“Phii Kom, you got Baibun telling you I love you too.” Lop teasingly teased.
“It's just the seniors and juniors saying they love each other. Where did you think of anything else?” Kom asked back, but it felt weird in my heart even though I knew that the word love that Baibun said a while ago meant ‘love-like’ an older brother and younger brother.
“I miss my brothers and I didn't think anything at all.” Lop joked before being slapped by Kom. Not too hard, then Kom went to see Kamol and Kim and take them to the mall to do some shopping. Kamol had Kom and Rut go shopping with Kim.
“Khun Kim? Can, I would like to stop by to shop for a moment.” Kom turned to Kim. Kim nodded before Kom gave Rut to Kim's accompany. Kom walked into a phone shop.
“Which model is good?” The staff quickly came to greet him, although a bit tense with Kom, Kom looked at the phone model.
“I will get this model and white with a sim.” Kom said and pointed to the phone that he wanted to buy and went to pay. When he got the goods, he returned them to Kim and Rut.
...
“Boss? Tonight, you have an appointment with Minister Thosapol.” Kom walked in to remind Kamol again after returning from shopping and eating. Kamol nodded.
“You go to rest before leaving, when it's time to prepare, come follow me.”
Kamol told him back. Kom carried a paper bag toward Auntie Nee's residence.
Knock! Knock!
Kom stood and knocked on the door of the house. Auntie Nee walked out to open the door.
“Baibun, Auntie.” Kom asked for a young man.
“He's taking a shower, Kom, what's up?” Auntie Nee asked back.
“If Baibun is finished taking a shower, have him come see me at home. I bought something for him but I have to teach him how to use it.” Kom told me again.
Auntie Nee smiled.
“Wait a minute, I'll tell him to you.” Auntie Nee replied, Kom then walked back to his home.
...
TBC.
