Chapter 14 : Agenda for Single Friends

*Private group #TeamSarawatWives*

'Admin is here! I'm here with the breaking news of the day. Our husband is now hitting on a university cheerleader. I have evidence. Who can explain about their relationship from these pictures? That person will get the nosy lifetime membership card."

Attached on the post were the three photos that Sarawat uploaded on his Instagram. It has been eight hours since those photos were posted. Let me guess... Sarawat's Wives have been debating and creating their own theories about that post.

I read the messages continuously without any expectations, but my heart is beating so fast. Oh shit! I can't do anything.

'Is that so? They are just friends.'

'I knew it! They are not just friends. Sarawat must have liked Tine from the beginning.' 'So I'm heartbroken again now...'

'If that is the Tine of the university cheerleader, I ship them. He's very cute.' 'Wasn't he a playboy before? Why will he be Sarawat's wife?'

'Arghh! What about my heart? How does Sarawat cure it? #heartbroken'

'Didn't they say they were just friends? You have no heart! You are evil! I'm really angry now !!' 'I was near them at the concert last night. Sarawat kept holding Tine's hand and didn't let go.He was really possessive and didn't let anyone approach him.'

The war in the secret group is happening intensively. It is more furious than the Songkran festival in Silom (Major street in Bangkok known for its commercial neighbourhood). I didn't dare to comment or defend myself. In all actuality, that bastard should solve this problem, right?

Rrrrrrr~

And then a call from Fong broke my business which happened all night long. "Ummm?"

[Are you awake?]

"Umm." Actually, I haven't slept at all. I can't stop reading the comments.

[Let's have breakfast. I'm going to your dorm now.]

"Umm."

[Move and take a shower now.]

"Umm."

[Damn! Are you listening to me?]

"Umm."

[Be ready in half an hour.]

My heart is so weak and worn out today. Since the Instagram problem exploded last night, I didn't sleep at all and stayed up until morning. Looks like I can be the next advertising model of Garnier eye roll, huh?

Because of the black circles under my eyes that made me look like a panda, when I went to the shop to eat breakfast with Fong, the shop owner teased me as if I just escaped from the zoo. The reason for this is solely Sarawat's Wives... they keep asking me if there is really something between me and their husband.

I would say that my feelings now are so complicated. I am confused, dazed, excited, and my heart is beating like a drum that I can't control. I was so surprised last night, even more than his wives. I can't believe that we already met before.

If I am not in those pictures, I wouldn't believe it because that was almost a year ago. I really did not know that Sarawat and I had met, even the slightest chance. Even that caption shocked my entire world. After I read it, my mind went blank as if I got high from smoking weed.

I could not sleep at all. I want to know if there's a doctor who can cure insomnia, restlessness, palpitation, and thinking of someone else's face. I think I'm in a critical stage now.

"Last night was truly shocking." The person in front of me was talking, while he was eating his porridge. He is showing an annoying face.

"What?

"Don't play dumb. I'm talking about Sarawat. So, you guys have met before. Why didn't you tell me?"

"What should I tell you? Even I, myself, didn't know that we met before." All in all, we are all dumb. Only Sarawat and his friends, who are really smart, knew about this. That is based on their actions and the way they teased me and Sarawat.

"So, do you like him too?"

"No!"

"Oh! But that caption is so clear. Lately, I feel like he is seriously pursuing you. That's why we keep on asking you if you guys are really dating."

"Nonsense."

"Just try opening your heart to him."

"Damn it! I like girls."

"Okay, okay. I believe you." But his face is showing that he doesn't. He is my friend, but why does it seem like I can't distinguish sarcasm and seriousness in him?

Fortunately, Puek and Ohm are not here, otherwise, I will be teased to death. "Lately, I'm approaching Prae." I quickly changed the subject, but this is also not far from the previous problem.

"The medicine girl? You always talked about her last week, but lately you haven't. So I assumed that you are not serious about her." I even skipped music practice for her.

How can that not be serious?

"I don't know. It's hard to explain."

"Is that because of Sarawat?"

"Huh? No!" I shook my head. We talked about something else but all of a sudden, he is bringing the conversation back to that bastard.

"Then, I can't help you. That is your feeling, so you should ask it yourself." After that, Fong focused on eating the porridge while playing his phone without talking about the topic we were discussing earlier. I didn't bring my phone because I am still traumatized about what happened last night. Now, I've got nothing to do so I am getting distracted.

I took a deep breath and ate my porridge. It's not quite yummy so I decided to say something.

"I think I would be sick." Hearing that, Fong stopped eating his porridge and looked away from his cellphone to look at me.

"Tell me how you feel." I really hate his expression now. It seems like being nosy all the time but his eyes are full of happiness.

"You do not need to know."

"I'm getting curious. Hurry up and say it."

"Fong, when you are dating someone, do you feel... Do you feel so confused that you don't know what to do next? Usually, when I like someone, I will immediately ask her out on a date. But right now, I can't do it." Maybe that is the only reason I can use now. Before, when I like someone, I wouldn't hesitate to flirt and ask her to be my girlfriend. If I don't think we're suitable, then I break up with them. As easy as that.

But now is not the same. This is something that I have to think about first before doing it. I can't even make a decision to ask her out.

"No! If I like someone, I will keep chasing her without hesitation."

"..." What a wise suggestion. I am so touched. Wow, incredible...

"Are you referring to Sarawat?" He asked me.

"No. Prae."

"I'm sure there is a reason why you didn't dare to ask her to be your girlfriend. Maybe, someone more special than her. Some conditions that are preventing your feelings." It seems like Fong read too many philosophical books. His words were so good that it made my ears feel so uncomfortable.

"You already know the answer... Yes... It's him..." I spoke so softly but I knew Fong heard everything.

"You are really stupid! Of course you can't ask Prae to be your girlfriend because you already care for someone else!"

"If I really care for him, I should be brave enough to date him. But I am still confused..."

"Confused because it's gay?"

"It is not that."

"Then, because of what?"

"I don't know. My heart feels stuffy and my mind is blank like a semi-conscious person."

"Oh... Because you didn't get much sleep."

"I usually sleep for 10 hours a day." Even if you ask whether I sleep or die, that reason is so nonsense.

"But you didn't sleep last night."

"Look, I always shiver when I'm with him."

"Maybe because the air condition was low at that time, making the air so cold."

"My heart keeps on pounding when I'm with him. Also, it was hot at that time."

"Maybe you have a fever. Wait until your body subsides and then you will be fine."

Fong then patted my shoulder to cheer me up. But I don't think it is because of that. Also, when did I have a fever?

"What's more strange is that, Scrubb's songs are sweeter when I am with him."

"That is because it was a concert so it's definitely fun."

"I didn't feel that last year."

"I get it now."

"When he let me ride on his shoulder, my heart was beating so fast."

"Trust me, if Prae let you get on her shoulder, you will feel the same way."

"I don't think so."

"..." Fong said nothing and just leaned back in his chair. He then let out a heavy sigh.

"I can't even find the answers myself."

"What answers do you need to find? Those are all signs of a person who is in love. At least you will die in peace now because Sarawat dug a very deep hole for you."

~

To be honest, I really don't want Monday to come because nosy people will come and ask me a lot of questions. I want to avoid everyone as much as possible and I don't want to be crazy.

Sarawat also did not show the bridge of his nose; he just saved himself. I don't know whether his wives will support me or hate me even more because the look in their eyes when I got out of my car made my feet stop moving. I could only stand still and tighten the bag that was on my shoulder.

"Hello, Tine."

"Ahh... Hey!" I waved to a girl who was passing by. The tone of her voice sounded friendly and out of spite, which made me gasp out. Please don't hit me. I don't want to be on the university's newspaper.

"Isn't that person?"

"Wow, he looks handsome. I like him."

"I think he looks cute."

After that, I heard a lot of chats around me. Some of them gave me smiles, and some of them pushed each other to look shy. I haven't even seduced them so why are their cheeks turning red?

I could not stand their sights anymore so I hurriedly ran away. But I was only freed for a moment because when I got to where my friends are, it is surrounded by ten senior girls.

Should I pretend to cry so everyone will pity me?.

"Finally! Nong Tine is here." Before I could reach the table, a senior immediately came over to me and guided me to the table. She forced me to sit down, which made me so confused. Fong, Puek and Ohm then smiled so quickly.

"Are you and Sarawat dating?" Wow! The first question already feels like a slap in the face.

"No, we're not."

"But Sarawat likes you. Is that true?"

"I do not know."

"So you already met before?"

"I'm not sure. I've only been close to him recently." Can I break through like a superstar being interviewed by journalists? I know I am handsome, that's why they're curious.

"Can I ask some more?"

"Yes, you can."

"Does Nong Tine have a girlfriend?"

"No."

"Do you have someone you like?"

"..." I didn't answer but just rolled my eyes. I want to say that I am hitting on a medicine girl, but I did not dare to say it because I'm not sure how far that relationship will go. I feel like she is already out of the picture because I've been stuck with Sarawat.

"I'll take that as a no. Then, I'll ask again."

"Go ahead."

"Do you like Sarawat?"

"I..." How should I answer them? If I say yes, I will be asked some more questions and these seniors might kill me. Besides, I am not even sure about my own feelings. If I answer no, I'm afraid Sarawat will cause another problem. Oh, my heart...

I didn't know what to do so I just lowered my head and said nothing. My friends also looked like they were worried about me so they kicked each other to find a solution right away. Until some people started screaming when their new target came. All attention was immediately diverted to that tall guy..

"Nong Sarawat, come here!"

Someone shouted and everyone gave way to him. He is walking towards me and his expression this time is unreadable.

"Troublemaker, why didn't you pick up my calls?" His first sentence surprised me. I want to remind him that there are people around us so he should be careful. But his face is still looking at me.

"My phone is in my bag."

"Then what is happening here? Is there another Scrubb concert?" What the heck is wrong with this guy? There isn't a concert, but an interrogation between you and me, idiot. Everyone says nothing and just listens to our conversation.

"No. I'm just chatting with the seniors." I hurriedly answered him so won't be suspicious. But I didn't know what he was thinking when he said...

"Then I want to listen."

"It's already finished. Go away!" After I'm done saying that. Some seniors raised their faces, and blocked Sarawat. It really surprised me.

"We just stopped by and asked Tine a few questions." A senior bravely spoke up. Sarawat immediately turned to look at the owner of that voice with a slightly different expression.

"About what?"

"It's about you, Nong Sarawat."

"Then ask me directly." Wow! The national husband decided to say that without discussing with me first. Everyone was shocked, including my friends.

"Are all the pictures on Instagram posted by you?"

"I posted something myself, some were posted by my friends."

"How about the latest pictures during the Scrubb concert? Was it posted by your friends?"

"I posted it."

"So you met Tine before?"

"Yes. In Silpakorn."

"Are you also a Scrubb fan?" Sarawat shook his head and looked at me with something in his eyes.

"I'm a fan of Solitude is Bliss and Inspirative."

"Wow." Everyone nodded. I want to say that this bastard is a fan of every band that exists because when we were in the club, I always asked him which band he likes the most. The answer I got was every song that he is playing. So, which one? If I count from the beginning, there are about twenty bands in total.

"If there's no other questions, don't ask Tine about me from now on." Sarawat quickly pulled my wrist, trying to drag me like a slave in a drama. However, we both stopped when we heard someone say something.

"Wait. I'll ask one last question then I won't bother you anymore."

"..."

"Are you two dating?"

I paused for a long time until the one who was holding my wrist answered. "No."

"..."

"But if we are officially dating, I will let you know."

BOOM!

"Sarawaaaat! Argh!"

His answer made everyone scream hysterically. I don't know what to say... But his answer made my heart beat so crazily again. It feels like watching free porn on Google, being in love when I was young, stealing my father's money to buy new shoes, and something more special but inexplicable.

'But if we are officially dating, I'll let you know.' Wait a minute... So he will seriously ask me out for a date with him?

My heart... it's really gonna burst out soon! Damn!

Private group #TeamSarawatWives

'Aaaahhh... Tine TheChic's heart's not breaking, but we are! #heartbreaktogether #Amen' 'This is the first time that all girls and gays of the university's hearts are all broken.'

'Are they really dating? I'm gonna cry now.'

'So this is the meaning of my dream last night. I dreamed of a flock of birds throwing poop in my head. Argh! Birds everywhere!'

'I always lose to a cheerleader. Am I not good enough?' 'Not good enough because you are always heartbroken, 555'

'What a pity! Anyway, I'm always in #TeamSarawatWives'.

'If his wife is not around, let us all approach Sarawat #WhoIsTineWeDontKnowHim'

"Stop reading."

"They keep on talking about me whether it's on Instagram or Facebook, how can I not read it? They keep posting things about the two of us. Don't you care about this? Do you have feelings?" I lifted my head to see the tan skin in front of me.

After class, Sarawat asked me to skip the music club for training. He took me to Cafe Tun to relax and have some refreshments.

At first, I thought I could escape the eyes of the members from the music club. But apparently, I was wrong. Coming to this place is even worse than I thought because everywhere I look, I saw stares and heard gossips about the two of us.

"What do I have to feel?"

"..."

"The feeling of wanting to kiss you right now?"

"Damn! You should care about the others too."

"I like you, not the others. I only care for you, not the others." The answer is good but the intonation he used is really annoying.

"What if someone sees us?"

"I don't care. I don't see anyone else, I only see you."

"You jerk." I'm really angry now because his carelessness won't stop. Moreover, he didn't stop putting apple jelly in my drink.

"I don't like jelly. Take it back."

"This is good for health. Apple is full of vitamins."

"It's an artificial apple jelly, idiot." What the heck is your vitamin?

"Let me taste your whipped cream." I didn't give it to him, but he shamelessly took the glass from my hand and drank it. He looks like a dedicated person. But sorry, greed is not something that can be cured.

"Do you really love me ?"

"I'm worried about your health. Having too much whipped cream is quite bad. I'm afraid..."

"Why? Worried about fat or what?"

"No. I'm afraid you will enjoy it alone." Wow! I was really touched...

Where is the popular, handsome man? Where is the hot guy? Where is the guy who's liked by most girls? In reality, he looks like a piece of bread that is half eaten and is so deceiving. I really want to curse him.

"The apple jelly is so good that is why I want you to try it. I don't know when it happened but when I find the food so delicious, I want to keep it for you. When I find something good, I always remember you. When I go to a place that is so beautiful or so special, I want to take you there. When I listen to my favorite songs, I want to share them with you."

Wow. What a long speech! Sarawat said that, and it surprised me for a while. I tried to get hold of myself before I said something.

"Isn't that normal? When you find something good, you want to share it with others."

"Want to share or want to show off? If it's showing off, I will do it to my friends. But if sharing, I just want to do it with you."

"..."

"Except my close friends, only you know the real me. How bad my tastes are, how annoying I am, how tacky I am."

Yes! I knew that Sarawat was not shy. He just builds walls around him to prevent anyone from entering easily. Everything that everyone sees and knows about him is not true at all.

"Then, I'm one of your close friends now?"

"It's not like that. Other people try to climb the walls around me. Even my close friends have to go up using the ladder... But those don't apply to you."

"...."

"Because there is a door for you and I've opened it already. You are just so stupid to understand that.

I was surprised. It took me a long time to wake up and regain my composure... "Since when?" The doubtfulness is coming in my head. Since when was I in his sight? Silpakron? Under the building of the faculty? Music club? When was I in his mind?

"When did you feel that you care of me?" I asked him again.

"Silpakorn."

"That was a long time ago..." At that time, how many girlfriends did I have, four or five?

"Then why did you pretend not to know me when I approached you that day?"

"..." Sarawat didn't answer, he just kept staring at me.

"So you know me all along, right?"

"..."

"Do you really like me?"

"Umm." He said and just gave me a nod.

"Then why do you like me? I'm a playboy." "

I can pay everything for your babies."

"Shit! I mean, I'm flirting with Prae. Green is also flirting with me."

"Are you sure that Green really likes you?"

"What do you mean?"

"..." No words, as usual. I want to put all the apple jelly into his mouth so he will die eventually. Sometimes, I am annoyed with his personality. Not only he typed wrongly in texts, but he also provoked me so much.

"Sarawat..."

"You used to ask me why I chose to study Political Science, despite the fact that I love music." Huh? He changed the issue so fast. In all actuality, I should have been used to his character, right? It's quite weird that I am still not used to it.

"You told me you didn't want to study your favorite thing, because you are afraid of hating it one day. Right?"

"That is just a part of it. You know, music is my most favorite thing in the world, and I love it so much. As for Political Science, I don't need to love it. I just have to understand everything about it and accept it because that is my chosen field for my life and my future."

"...."

"You are not so different from it. In fact, I think I didn't fall in love with you at first sight. I just wanted to learn, accept, and understand you. I think it was just a feeling of a student at school who met someone special and had a lot of questions in his mind. That is weird that even now that I am a university student, I still want to know you more even though it has been so long."

This is the first time I heard Sarawat saying long sentences, and it touched my nerves. I heard everything about it and understood all of it. I let everything run and process through my head. It is so fresh like I am being kissed for the first time. It is so delightful like I never felt this before, even though I usually heard a lot of love confessions.

We are still in silence and let the ambient noises come around us. He then broke the silence.

"Did you like Prae since you met her?"

"I guess so."

"Don't you get bored? When you love someone, someday, love runs out."

"..."

"Let's try... Let's try to learn each other."

"..."

"You don't need to like me that much. Just open up your heart for me."

🚫 RESTRICTED AREA FOR THE WIVES 🚫

White Lion's Party Agenda for the Singles

This Friday at the usual place

@Man_maman

friends, I am alone in my room. Inviting all of you @Bigger330 @Boss-pol @KittiTee @TheTheme11 @Sarawatlism

The evil side of Man is coming again. After Sarawat showed his cellphone, I am literally shocked because the White Lions are up to something suspicious again. It's been a week since we agreed to learn about each other and I tried to open my heart to Sarawat. My friends and his friends all agreed that it was a good idea as if they were paid to do it.

"What is this?" I showed him the picture.

"Can I go there?" He asked back with a cold expression.

"Why are you asking me? Go!"

"Do you want to join?"

"What's wrong with you? I have nothing to do with it."

"This party forbids bringing the wife. How can you come?" Holy shit! "

I'm not your wife."

"That's good. You're not my wife so you can come."

"Huh?"

I really want to hit his head and embarrass him in front of his wives. Look at them! His fans are protesting now. Some of them support me, and some are against me. Sarawat just comforts me with words like, 'Don't mind them and pretend you don't know anything'. Damn!

"Man might invite your friends too. So, see you tomorrow night." I am so confused... What is wrong with his mind?

After I decided to enter the get-to-know-each-other stage, I found more of his craziness doubling up. But for the others, he is still the poker face, untalkative, hot guy.

A lot of girls are still approaching him, leaving snacks in front of his class. Some girls from the guitar class gave their lovely eyesight to him, even though they wanted to come and fight with me. Everything in his life is still the same, it just adds me up.

When I visit the secret group to read comments, I always read hateful and feuding words from his wives. They are seriously so scary.

I looked at him typing on his phone with an enthusiastic expression.

@Boss -pol

Who made this? It looks scary.

@Thetheme11

Please give me porn link. I'm so happy.

@i.ohmm

is this a porn party? what a terrible slogan

And not long after, the effort of the person who is biting his lips while squinting at the phone screen appeared.

@Sarawatlism

Ma wife wanys ti join

I wish he could type correctly, but that is in vain. Okay, I'm sorry. My hopes are too high.

@Bigger330

@Sarawatlism Huh? What do you mean?

@KittiTee

Let me translate it for you. Wat said 'my wife wants to join'. Do you understand now?

@Man_maman

Please bring your wife @Tine_chic also you guys are invited @i.ohmm @i.amFong @i.amPuek

@Tine_chic

I'm not his wife

@Sarawatlism

Tine_chic i can let u br my hsuband

I threw my phone on the table and turned mad at the person sitting in front of me.

"Why are you answering like that? You want to create a problem with me, right?"

"I don't want to call you Tine anymore, I'm bored. I want to call you my wife."

BOOM!

Just one sentence is enough to surprise me. My heart ...

~

The place meant by the members of the White Lions is not a bar or something, but it is Man's room. When I saw the invitation, I thought the White Lions would hold a big and very important party. But actually, there are only two gangs present: White Lions and the Male Leads. Damn!

I don't know why they posted such a poster with that slogan. Anyway, I am not even their close friend so I don't have the right to give opinions about these people. Also, my friends just forced me to come here... to be the person in charge if they will be drunk.

"Tine, do you want to eat something?" Sarawat's calm voice asked me after everyone had gathered and sat on Man's sofa, and even on the floor. There is a big television that is broadcasting the live UEFA championship league.

"Wow...so you are only asking Tine? I also want to eat that chic chic snack! Haha!"

"Fuck you." I responded to Man. He is really annoying. If I have a chance, I will definitely crash him with my car.

"No liquor is allowed at this party..."

"Only beer! Hahaha!" Tee quickly changed the topic and the others responded with their own jokes. They took a case of beer hidden behind the sofa and immediately poured it into the glasses. Everyone then started drinking.

Alcohol is no joke for us because my friends and I can be drunk so easily, just like now. After a few glasses, Fong looked sick and tired. Ohm looks worse and for Peuk, don't ask me anymore. He is always the first to pass out.

What should I do? I already decided and begged everyone not to drink too much. Ugh!

"Oh yeah, I want to ask what is the meaning of the slogan?" I asked Man.

"It's just a celebration party."

"Celebration for what?"

"To celebrate our friend who finally got you as his partner. Now cheers!" CLANK!

The glasses of beers are crashing together. Sarawat's friends are happily teasing me and playing jokes on me. Sarawat is not saying anything but only stares at me.

We're so close that I can smell the fragrance of his shirt. Sarawat never uses any perfumes or lotions. He only lives with shampoo and is stupid enough to use it as bath soap.

If you ask how did I know about that... So yesterday, I invited him to shop at Minimart. He bought a shampoo bottle and said that it is a good liquid soap because it smells good. See how stupid this buffalo is? Doesn't that make his hair legs straight and shiny... Kawaii style? Godammit!

"What are you thinking?" I let my imagination fly high until this guy broke the silence. No matter how chaotic and intoxicated our friends were, Sarawat and I did not care about them and only teased each other.

"Well, why are you looking at me?"

"That's because I can't see clearly so I need to focus. If I can see you clearly, I might not need to stare too long like that."

After hearing that, I just wanted to punch his mouth. He was really childish. "Then why are you only staring at me? Your friend is in front of you. Look at them."

Then his face leaned down on me that I could feel his breathing on my neck. This makes me get goosebumps.

"I want to kiss you."

"Damn!"

"I really want to kiss you."

"Shut up."

"Why are you so cute?"

"I'm handsome, not cute." I'm a university cheerleader! Saying those words really destroyed my confidence.

"Are you starting to like me now?"

"..." I did not answer him. It has been a week, how can I give you an answer?

"If you are my lover, I promise to lick all of you from your shadow to your toe."

Wait, what?

"You really are a pervert."

"Man taught me these words to tease you. I didn't know you were so shocked."

Yes, you almost succeeded. I was like flying to heaven but you hooked me to the ground. Godammit! Sometimes, I wonder if he is really serious or just wants to tease me.

"Friends, before we get drunk until we die, let's do a little activity. This is considered as our culture, White Lion style." Man stood up and raised his glass. It seemed like everyone understands him except my friends and I.

"This is the activity we usually do when we party." Sarawat did not allow me to be confused any longer so he immediately whispered to me.

"So... What is it?" I feel awkward when I think about that slogan on Instagram. Just thinking about that, I can already imagine what will happen.

"See it for yourself." He didn't tell me.

I then saw Man stood up, blocking the TV while clearing his throat twice. "Hello everyone. I'm Man, not the other guy! Tonight, I won't talk about anyone except my new friends - Tine, Ohm, Puek, and Fong. Welcome to the Association of Perverted Men of All Time!"

Just hearing the name of the association is enough to give me a headache. Let's just keep on calling them White Lions, okay?

"We usually keep something in our mind and tell it to our friends, at least once a month. That is why I know all of their secrets. When I first saw the four of you, I didn't like you at all, Tine..."

"Huh?" I pointed at myself.

"You looked so arrogant like you think that you're so handsome. But I have to tell you the truth, when I knew you, you're really cute."

"Wow!" Everyone is screaming and it made this chaotic party even more fun.

He slowly returned to where he was sitting and gave me an annoying flying kiss. It is now Boss' turn.

"Peuk, you are the admin of the page 'Must-Try Food that Doesn't Taste Good but It's Cheap'. Your page is really terrible... but I really like it."

"Hey! Cheers!" Applause and the noise of glasses clinking sounded together. Everyone took turns to say what was on their minds. It was really fun listening to them. Some are so funny, and some sounded sincere. It is nice that I could understand what they really thought about me.

"Tine, do you know that my friend really likes you?"

"Wooowwwwww!"

It's Theme, who said those words which made everyone scream with joy. He came back to his seat without waiting for my answer. He patted Sarawat's shoulder so he stepped forward and stood in front of everyone.

"Tine..."

"Aww! Wheeeew!"

"Come on! You just keep on staring at Tine. Just take him to your room. You are so annoying!"

I hate his friends, but I can't do anything except staying down and lowering my head with shyness. Since when did a cool guy like me turn into a shy little girl? Especially when they tag team with my three friends. I can't do anything but be shy.

"I am so happy."

He said that and let out a smile... I was stunned for a moment until... "Shit! Wat, that sounds disgusting!"

"I want to puke after hearing that."

"Did you just say that? It's so embarrassing..." Everyone was so dissatisfied when Sarawat returned to his seat without saying anything else except that line. That is why the last person to come forward is Big, the person who is so ready to expose his friends.

"Now you look shy, Tine. What I want to say to you is..." Me, again.

"My friend, Sarawat, is a possessive guy. He is so stingy with his shoes, bag, guitar, privacy, and everything that belongs to him. He is really possessive of you." "Oooohhhhh."

I was truly enlightened with his words and I don't know where to put myself right now. I feel very embarrassed when everyone is looking at me. Unlike Sarawat, who is just sitting there with his cold, deadpan face. Big came back to his seat.

"Dude, he knew it already." He said.

"Knew what?"

"That I'm possessive."

"You act like a child."

Sarawat just shrugged nonchalantly before raising his hand to stroke my hair. I didn't let him tease me unilaterally, so I reached out my hand to squeeze his cheek. I hate his poker face and his big fingers.

The party continued for three hours. It seems like everyone is okay because they knew their limits. Also, we are afraid of what the White Lions will do so no one dared to get drunk first.

"My team lost. Give me some songs to cheer us up!" Man said and went to pick up a guitar, handing it to Sarawat.

"Wat, play a song."

Sarawat did not accept the guitar and shook his head. "I don't want to. That guitar is bad."

"You're really picky! Okay, my guitar isn't as expensive as yours. Which one is your favorite again? If I remember, it's not the martin that you always use every day." "Martin DC-16 can't beat Takamine."

Man sits on the floor and strums the guitar in a terrible voice. The others help sing along with the songs making the atmosphere lively. The chaotic party ended almost at midnight. My friends left me with Sarawat, which has an unreadable expression. On the way home, the person beside me said something with his serious face. "Want to listen to a song?"

"Turn on the music then. What song do you have?" "What song do you want? I'll sing it for you."

I rapidly shook my head. Please, no. I don't want to have nightmares.

"No!"

"One night, the world fell asleep. (*1*)

My mind is empty but with a music playing softly I can only think of someone who is very far away."

What the heck? I said no, but he is still singing in a romantic atmosphere. There was no music, no guitar, there was only his low voice that sounded like a singing bass.

But it was very pleasant for my ears and made me feel like I was in a dream.

"I was sunk in a simple trance in just a short time As if something captivated me..."

I put my hand on the console of the car, tapping my fingers while following the rhythm. I then sing together with him in the chorus part of the song. This song is from Scrubb and I haven't listened to this song in a long time. They did not play this even in the Scrubb concert.

"But when I opened my eyes, I saw you standing. And it is too beautiful to explain.

The lights are all shining when you walk near me.

We made an eye contact, and I stared at you for a long time Then my heart begins to tremble.

Is everything real? Or we're just in a dream?"

The song ended and there were some weird feelings in my mind. I am so happy and I feel comfortable to sing one of my favorite songs with someone. I can finally say that I can be myself without pleasing anyone, without having to show off my wealth, or without having to reconcile with someone who is arguing with me for a stupid reason.

"Sarawat..."

We finally arrived at our destination and the car was parked on the side of the road. We are still inside of the car.

"What?"

"Your guitar... if you want to take it back, you can tell me. I can buy a new one."

"Why?" He asked.

"I heard your friend. The one I am using is your favorite guitar."

"You don't need to return it. Actually..."

Sarawat just looked at me with his usual deadpan face. He then stuck out his tongue and licked his lips. I am stunned. I couldn't back down because the space inside the car is limited. In just a matter of seconds, my body was pulled towards him by his big hands and he leaned forward to kiss me.

I almost can't breathe. I want to scold him, but I can't. I want to push him away, but I have no strength. My body feels so weak right now.

His tongue is poaching into my mouth. It seems like he is sucking all the bitter alcohol inside of it. His nose is sunk into my cheek while we are still kissing. He is moving his tongue inside my mouth. I can feel goosebumps all over my body. He is still licking along my teeth sophisticatedly.

Didn't he say he never had a lover? He is better than me in kissing. Damn! Sarawat let go of my mouth and said something so softly, making it hard for me to hear. But it made my heart feel like it can fly in the air anytime.

"Give me your tongue. Why aren't you helping me?"

When he saw my surprised face, Sarawat bent to kiss me again. This time, he didn't let me get ready for it and easily slipped his hot tongue into my mouth. My body can't move anymore, other than letting him control the game.

His tongue was intertwined with mine when we exchanged saliva. My face is locked by his big hands while his tongue continues to attack mine. I think if he isn't holding my body now, I wouldn't be able to balance myself anymore.

My mind keeps saying 'enough' because I can't breathe. But my heart contradicts it because it is still pounding and feeling fulfilled by what is happening, even though my eyes are still closed. In the end, my mind took over because I could not breathe properly. I quickly pushed his chest to tell him that it is time to stop.

Sarawat obediently moved backward before bowing again to gently bite my lips as a way to end the kiss. I can smell some blood on my lips. He is indeed sadistic.

"You are teasing me." I can hear my voice trembling.

"You suck."

"You... Damn it!"

"Get out while I can still control myself."

"..."

"I can't always act as a gentleman." He reached out his hand to take off my safety belt and unlocked the door as his way of telling me to leave.

What is this? You kissed me and now you are kicking me out like a dog? I hate you. "What about... your guitar? Do you want to pick it up now?" I remembered we were talking about that before I was assaulted.

"You don't have to return it."

"..."

"It's been yours for a long time."

"..."

"Take good care of it."

That is the last sentence of our conversation tonight. I walked with my trembling feet back to my room. The first thing I saw when I entered was the Takamine guitar, lying on my bed.

I sat down and picked up the guitar. I meticulously looked at it with a strange feeling inside me. Right on the guitar neck, you can clearly see Sarawat's name engraved on it, and it made me roll my eyes every time I see it.

However, when I turned on the light and tried to turn it over, I saw something engraved under the six strings, through the sound hound...

I saw...

My name... engraved on it...

'Tine Teepakorn'

This guitar has been mine for a long time...
