[ 154. Best friends and Boyfriends]
Dae didn't have basketball practice on Thursday evening while Aroon and Oak had a football match. So he decided to watch the older play and return home along with him like usual. When he reached the ground, the match had already started. Aroon smiled at him whilst running for the ball and the younger smiled back.Dae then found Phet sitting on a side step, watching the boys play. He smiled as he saw his best friend’s pupils rapidly following just one person. " Hey..", he called.Phet turned his face and smiled. Dae walked to him and slumped down beside him. " So happy ?", Dae asked." Yeah..", Phet nodded looking back at the ground. " Dae, I really regret giving up my prefect position. Now I can't spent time with him at college. If I was the prefect, we could have sometimes sat together at the study hall pretending we are discussing something. But now I can't do that. People will get suspicious. ""[155. Extra Chicken ]Cream waddled behind the boys, wagging his tail as the boys ran enthusiastically towards the pool. It was Sunday afternoon and the boys decided to spend some time in the pool. Kobsook had went to meet one of his clients and he had told that he would only return back by dinner.Aroon was wearing only a red swimming shorts and Dae was in a similar yellow one which they brought yesterday while they went shopping at the nearby Gucci mall."Aru...let's Jump together, okay ?", Dae said grabbing the older's hands. Aroon nodded and they both ran with great speed to the diving platform.But as they reached near the platform, Aroon pulled his hand away causing Dae to plunge alone into the pool, splashing water in all direction. The water was cool even though it was after noon. It was Mid October and the weather was cool. There were certain rain clouds above them indicating the chance to rain in an hour of so. " That's not fair
[156. Rise of villains]Aroon couldn't concentrate in class as he was feeling really anxious about Dae's match. The younger along with their basketball team had headed to Thonburi university in a bus, early morning for their match taking place there. Aroon had actually thought to go and watch the younger's match but he had an important lab practical afternoon. Also since he had lost a lot of attendance, he can't again take leave. If the professors happens to know, he went to watch Dae's match, he would get real scolding from them. But now he can't concentrate in class due to high anxiety. He was sure that Gun and team will also be participating in the tournament.Suddenly Aroon's phone vibrated inside his pocket. He quickly fished it out. It was a message and it was from none else than Dae. It read,' Aru, semi-final match just ended. Our team won.'Aroon smiled widely. Before he could text a 'congrats' without the professor noticing him using
[157. We will make it possible.]Dae hastily wiped his tears and stood up from the floor. He can't play. If he play, he shouldn't score any basket. So it's better to allow someone else to play in his place. They have extra players.Dae decided to leave the place as soon as possible before coach or someone else come searching for him. He quickly washed his face and then rushed out of the bathroom to the dressing room, where he had put his bag and phone. There was no one in the room. He quickly grabbed his bag and then rushed to his phone. He went to his WhatsApp and saw Gun had send him the video.He felt like crying again but he controlled. There's no benefit in crying. He walked to the door and opened it. Then walked out without looking anything more. He was afraid he would change his decision and go back to the court. So he quickly walked out of the unfamiliar Thonburi university campus.He walked by the side of the road, not even knowing
[ 158. Gone]Next day Evening Aroon raised his hand from the steering wheel of Dae's Lamborghini and looked at his wrist watch. The time was 4: 15 pm. He was confused why Dae wasn't coming yet. Usually the younger would be waiting for him at the parking lot when he arrives. Why is he taking so long today ?Aroon fished his phone out of his pocket and dialled Dae's number. Dae's phone was switched off. Aroon furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. He waited for five more minutes in the car. But Dae still didn't arrive. Aroon started to feel nervous. He quickly hopped out of the car and started walking in direction of the Physics department. There were only a very few people in the hallway. Finally Aroon reached the younger's classroom. There was no one inside the class. ' Where did he go ? Did he think I have football practice?', Aroon thought scrunching his eyebrows. He then found a girl and boy standing in the corridor, talking. " Hey..", A
[159. Let’s bring back Dae.]Aroon didn't have dinner. He sat on his desk chair thinking what to do next. An hour ago, he had texted Dae ' Are you okay ?' just to see whether he has his phone with him. The message was marked ‘seen’ after sometime but no reply came. So he understood the phone was either in Mr Kim’s custody or with his own Dad.' Dae isn't alright. Right now, he might be crying, lying in that room where we stayed. Or they might be questioning him. He is definitely not okay. He needs me.', Aroon suddenly took his phone in his hands and started searching for the next flight to Korea.There was a flight at 5 Am. The booking was about to close and he hastily went to book ticket. But soon he found that there was not enough money in his card. It was strange as the ticket doesn't coast that much. He checked the balance and found the whole money in his account has been withdrawn a few hours ago. Aroon felt totally helpless. He called O
[ 160. Eloped ]It was really dark when Aroon landed at Seoul airport. He had changed the time in his phone from 5: 52 Pm to 7:52 Pm. And it had past 8:20 when he finally got out of the airport and got a taxi. Somehow he was able to tell the driver that we wanted to go to Daegu and fortunately the man understood him.Aroon took his phone and called Oak as soon as he hopped into the taxi.“ Aroon..be really careful. We will call you if there’s anything. And if your Dad calls you, pick the call. Or he will get suspicions. Bye then, take care.”, Oak said before ending the call.Aroon then placed the phone in his pocket and leaned back in his seat.The taxi driver, who was an young man, not looking anything more than 25 tried to converse with him in a English mixed Korean. And Aroon was able to comprehend something. His one week stay with Kim family had taught him a little bit Korean. He also tried to converse a little with the driver in an attempt to
[ 161. Bus ride ]Dae squirmed on the bed, left and right trying to meet the familiar warmth. But he didn’t hit Aroon's body even after rolling about a lot. So he finally opened his eyes to figure out where the older actually was. He turned his face to his right and he was shocked. Abruptly he turned around to the left and there too was no one. Dae sat up on the bed in panic with a fast thudding heart. " Aru..", He called out frightened gazing around in the room. He looked over at the window and it's still dark outside. Dae started getting more nervous by the instant. "A..Aru..", He again called and this time it came out muffled because of fear. He was about to cry as no reply came.He only remember both of them running into a hotel, actually a motel at midnight after walking through the empty roads for almost an hour. He was really sleepy then and as soon he saw a bed, he fell on it and drifted into sleep, hugging the older. But now where is the olde
[162. Baby goats]After almost an hour, Dae wakes up feeling hungry. He blinks his eyes thrice before slowly lifting his heavy eyelids, adjusting his dreary eyes to the morning sun rays rushing in through the open window. He slowly sits up straight, lifting his head from the older's shoulders." Why you woke up quickly ?", Aroon asks, his gaze on his phone, his fingers dancing rapidly over the screen. "There's one more hour to reach there. Sleep a little more.", he says slightly turning his head. Dae just hums in replay but looks out of the window deciding to watch the sights outside for sometime. The bus is now going through a city and tall buildings array on both sides of the road. Soon Dae notices the board of a restaurant and instantly his mouth waters seeing the variety food items on the banner. He feels extremely hungry after seeing the photo of the food items. He hadn't eaten dinner last night. But he feels reluctant to tell Aroon that
