[127. I am not ready for that yet.]
The next Friday evening when Aroon came back home with him, Dae felt so happy. Actually the whole week he was feeling like the older was ignoring him.He questioned himself a lot of times whether he did something wrong. Every time he tried to come at the conclusion that the older is just busy or stressed and he isn’t purposefully ignoring him. He couldn’t even talk out his worries to Phet. Now they don’t call and talk for hours like before and they don’t have lunch together. Phet said he is having lunch at the canteen near their campus with friends from his class but Dae is worried whether Phet actually haves lunch or skip it.Phet is extremely gloomy since that incident on Monday. That evening when he tried to console Phet, he said he is alright and he don’t need to console him. He said he just needs some time alone and he will be completely fine soon. But Dae knows Phet is not at all alright. His cheerful self[128. Are they dating ?]Dae came to know from their servants that the older went somewhere after he left with Gun. He felt sad as he couldn't spend some time with the older. He texted Aroon and the older said he is at Preed's home. Dae walked upstairs to his room feeling upset. Aroon came back home with a heavy stomach pain. He walked upstairs and lied down on his bed. Dae couldn't understand how the older suddenly got a stomach pain. He asked whether he want tea or something but the older asked him to just let him sleep.At night, it rained heavily. Heavy lightening and thunder accompanied the rain. Dae felt scared and cold. He wanted some warmth. Cream who was lying beside him shivered and flinched at every thunder. Atlast Dae decided to go to Aroon's room. He picked Cream and walked to the older's room. He opened the door without making sound and saw the older sleeping peacefully on his bed not affected by the sounds of thunder. Dae crawled
[ 129. You all knew ?]" Bun..I am sorry, okay ?" Aroon said after parking the car in the students parking lot.Aroon had decided to talk to the younger and clear his doubts about him and Oak dating. That is why he told their driver, not to drive them to college today. Also he had decided to take the younger out for a coffee or ice-cream, evening in order to prevent the younger from having other unnecessary doubts and thoughts. Yesterday after Dae walked out of the room, Aroon called Oak. He asked him whether he knew Phet liked him. Oak froze at that direct statement. He was silent for a few moments." Who told you he likes me ?", Oak then asked. He seemed a bit shocked." Dae.", he replied." You didn't know ? You knew it, right ? That's why you were ignoring him."" Yeah...I almost knew.", Oak said.Oak was hesitant to speak at first. But after Aroon urged a lot, he started speaking about it. They talked for about an hour and
[130. I will be waiting for you.]At evening Aroon and Dae drove to 'Heavens cafe'. They made comfortable on a clean table, opposite to each other and ordered two scoops of chocolate ice-cream. Dae smiled as the waiter brought the ice-cream in front of him.Aroon kept his gaze only on his cup of ice-cream. He wanted to look at the younger but he knew if he look up at those soft lips, it will definitely cause trouble." Aru..."Aroon looked up to see Dae holding a spoon of ice-cream in front of his mouth." Dae..I have mine.."" Aru..have it if you love me.", Dae said and Aroon's eyes widened. Hesitantly he leaned forward and opened his mouth for the younger to feed him. Dae smiled as the older had his ice-cream " Aru..oh ! you ate one spoon of mine. So give me one spoon of yours.", Dae said giggling. Aroon nodded. He took a spoonful of his ice-cream and held it in front of the younger's mouth. Dae almost jumpe
[131. You don’t like me.]After dinner, Aroon and Dae went to their home theatre and Dae picked a movie. He then went and sat on the big couch. Aroon first thought to sit on a small couch but then he thought Dae would feel hurt if he do that. So he went and sat on the same couch where Dae was sitting, but a little away from the younger.As the movie progressed, Dae moved closer to Aroon and leaned his head on the older's shoulder. Aroon didn't move. He sat there like a statue. To the end of the movie, Dae slept on his shoulder. Now Aroon either had to wake him up or carry him to his room. He decide to go with the first option. He shook the younger but he didn't wake up. He shook him much more harshly but the younger threw his hands on his neck. By now the older got really suspicious that the younger was pretending asleep. He took the latter's hands away from his neck and shook him once more. Dae at last opened his eyes after a few more shaking. He stood
[132. Did you forget something?]" What's the problem now ? Why are you this much upset today ?", Phet asked looking at Dae who was sitting opposite to him in the canteen, simply swirling in his bowl of noodles with the fork." Aru isn't talking to me. I did something wrong. But I can't understand what I did.", Dae responded without taking his gaze from the bowl, still swirling in it.Phet furrowed his eye brows. " Not even talking a word to you ?"" Not like that. But...", Dae paused and looked up. " He came home lightly drunk on Saturday evening and told me I don't like him. I said I like him and when I was going to hug him, he ran away from me. And yesterday he went somewhere early morning itself and came back only late night. Today while we drove to here, we talked something, but I was the one actually talking. I can't understand what is wrong with him."" Then just ask him.", Phet said and raised his fork of noodles to his mouth."
[133. I really didn’t expect this.]" Phet..he just forgot. He has planned nothing.", Dae said looking up from his plate. They were having the lunch in silence until then. Maybe Oak's presence in the canteen is the reason for Phet's silence." Dae...I am sorry. I gave you hope. ", Phet said almost blankly." It's okay Phet. I don't care much. And I don't give much importance to birthdays. It's just like any other days to me.", Dae said more to himself and continued eating. His phone then vibrated in his pocket and he quickly fished it out thinking it's his Dad calling after remembering his birthday. But it was Gun." oh why is he calling at this time ?", Dae said confused and answered the call." Dae...I am really sorry. An urgent thing came up. My Grandma got admitted in hospital. We are going to visit her evening. So our meeting..., we can't meet Dae.", Gun said in a hurry from the other side of the line." oh..what happened? Is she okay?"
[134. Dream Car ]Most of the people in the hall stared at Dae as he walked down the stairs. He looked so beautiful and gorgeous in that new outfit. Atid was the first to spot Dae among T5." oh my God ! Dae looks so beautiful." He said and Aroon looked up. Literally his jaw dropped at the sight. He only looked at Dae for a moment because he felt like he was already drooling over him. So he quickly looked away. Gun had arrived 10 minutes before and he was waiting impatiently for Dae. Since he only knew Aroon and his friends, he went and sat with them. Although he was not so amused by Atid’s comment on his boyfriend, he looked up and he was stunned seeing Dae so gorgeous. He smiled at him and Dae returned a smile whilst walking to them." P'Gun...How is your Grandma ?", Dae teased. Gun just smiled." Dae..you look stunning. Just wow !", Gun whispered and Dae smiled blushing. Aroon moved away from there telling some excuse. Soon the dinner was s
[135. Wild Butterflies ]Dae stood looking at the water flowing below the bridge he and Aroon were standing on. The older was standing just beside him, staring up at the moon.Dae tilted his face and looked at the older. Aroon's face looked tensed. He looked like he is debating with some heavy thoughts in mind. As if he is standing in front of two divergent roads which determines his future and he has to choose one but he don't know what to choose." What are you thinking ?", Dae asked.Aroon shook his head." Nothing. I was just looking at the moon."" Aru, why are you so silent nowadays? Did P'Oak influence you ?"" Oh..I am silent ?", Aroon asked.Dae sighed." You shouldn't change like this. I don't like this Aru. Don't you remember how happy and energetic you were on that day when we went to Pattaya beech ? Now what happened? Why aren't you happy ? Why don't you smile and laugh like before ?"" I am happy.", Aroo
