We stared at each other in the warm light. Khun Sam is so close that my heart is beating faster. I'm going to pass out any second. She stands close and stares at me with her beautiful brown eyes. It's like they say: I'm melting like ice cream in summer.
"Are you sleepy, bunny?"
"Y...Yes."
"There's gunk in your eye."
"Serious?!" Embarrassed, I immediately wipe my eyes. Khun Sam is going back to bed. Then he lies on his side and turns his back to me. "There was nothing. Are you kidding me?"
"I'm going to sleep. Have a good night."
That? Because she is like that? I look at her confused, turn off the lamp and cover myself with the blanket.
Well what happened? I do not know how to explain...
The next morning...
I wake up with the light coming through the window. I scramble to my feet and realize it's not my house.
The noise from the shower in the bathroom also wakes me up.
Ah... I'm not dreaming. I spent the night here at Khun Sam's house and I am lying on his bed.
I'm excited and confused at the same time, but it soon passes when Khun Sam emerges from the bathroom in a gray T-shirt and navy sweatpants.
"You get up late. You said that you get up every day at 4 am to go to work, it seems that's not true. Did you lie to me, bunny?"
"It's your fault⦠why did you get up so early?" I look into his tired eyes, even though he just got out of the shower, his brown eyes don't lie. "You look tired, like you haven't slept well."
"Nobody could sleep next to you, bunny. You snore in your sleep, it sounds like thunder."
"Have you ever seen thunder?"
"It's like Aesop's fable."
"Is there thunder in the story?"
"He has a talking crab mother, why shouldn't he have thunder?"
Why did I have to get up early to talk about how I snored last night? So I end the conversation by going to the bathroom, but...
"You can wear my clothes. It's not good to wear yours again."
"Not good? Why?"
"They are not clean. It is not good to wear dirty old clothes."
Right... I nod in response, though I'm still confused. I take a 15-minute shower and brush my teeth with a new toothbrush he left me, then head to his closet. Inside there are only clothes in gray tones.
What is red? Where is the red clothes?
The magazines said he liked red...
I pick up a T-shirt and a casual sweatshirt that matches her style. It would not be appropriate to wear jeans. When I come out of the bathroom, she looks at me for a moment and says.
"Are you kidding me."
"Ahâ¦it's the gray clothes in your wardrobe. It's your style, how dare I play with it?"
"It's comfortable." He walks past me to the bathroom, grabs and puts on a sports jacket. "Saw?
We're different. We're not dressed as a couple right now."
I'm embarrassed after hearing what he said. Because? Why am I embarrassed? It's because we're dressed as a couple.
While I'm uncomfortable, his phone rings. She looks at him, seems to recognize something, then looks at me.
"I forgot I have a date with friends today."
"Okay. I can take a taxi home..."
"Not hungry?"
"I'm fine."
"It's free!"
"It's also free at home. Better eat there."
"And it's delicious."
"My mother cooks well too."
"It's also quite expensive."
"But..."
"You are poor, right?"
Heavens...
"Do you want me to go with you?"
"Just to let you know."
"I don't want to..."
"It's quite expensive. You couldn't buy it. I'll pay you."
"Then I will go with you."
"You are a gold digger."
That?...
He already knew, if he tried to avoid the conversation, it would repeat itself. Like the car situation last night. I feel like I got to know her more. She will never say what is on her mind. And I have to be the loser in the looped conversation.
Gorgeous...
"The restaurant is not far from here. Let's walk."
"We can walk?"
"There's never a place to park. If they'd set up the meeting far away from here, I wouldn't have gone."
Why don't you welcome them into your home?"
"I don't like."
So why did I spend the whole night at his house? It must be because he was afraid of hungry ghosts, so he asked me to stay. However, I do not ask and I follow in his footsteps.
"Why are you walking behind me? Come, walk beside me."
"W... Right."
She stops walking and waits for me. We walked together in silence until we reached the restaurant. I wouldn't say it's far, we didn't walk much. There are many restaurants around here.
We stop in front of a Japanese restaurant that appears to be open for lunch. There is only a small group of noisy customers inside. They stop as soon as Khun Sam walks in.
"PP arrived... Oh, who is she?"
They all look at me surprised. Khun Sam looks at me and briefly introduces me.
"My subordinate from the office. Can you join us?"
They look at each other before pulling me a chair. Khun Sam's friends are nice to me.
One of her friends is an actress. She has been friends with Khun Sam since middle school. I remember her because I often saw her with Khun Sam and my mother, who said that she is an actress.
"What is her name, the subordinate of PP?
Khun Sam's actress friend, whose name is 'Kate', asked me. One of them tries to stop her with a slap.
"Don't be obscene with her. She doesn't know how obscene we areâ¦what's her name, honey?"
You're so cute".
I also remember this woman. She is a beautiful lesbian and was quite famous in high school.
In addition, she is also the heiress of a billionaire.
...It means that they were friends with Khun Sam in high school.
"I am mon."
"Your name is beautiful just like you. So how did you come to P...her? Oh, I'm Kate, you can call me Kate. You must know my name because of my popularity." She boasts and smiles. She's so calm on screen, but so friendly in the real world.
"Yes I know."
"I'm Tee," a beautiful woman introduces herself before introducing someone else "And this is Jim."
"I have changed... Call me Marta."
"My God! Nothing to do...from Jim to Martha, unacceptable."
I look at them and my face is turning red because they are talking about trivial things. I don't know what level of language to use when talking to them. They graduated from the same school as Khun. Sam, it means they are from high society families, royal family or some famous family.
From what I've seen so far, they are common.
"Be polite to her, please don't be rude." Khun Sam calls out to his friends, but they roll their eyes.
"Oops! PP is a good woman now."
"You better call me Sam. Well, can you pass my fan a menu?"
Everyone fights over the menu. Finally, Kate takes it. He passes me by smiling.
"You can ask what you want, Jim will pay for us."
"I told you, call me Marta." (Okay, I'll call her Martha) She smiles sweetly at me and says, "Go ahead, honey. I pay, it's on me today. It's a big day."
"Tell him... Today you are going to give us your wedding invitations." Tee tells me about the wedding.
"I'm happy for you." congratulations
"Why would I be happy for her? She wouldn't get married if she hadn't gotten pregnant." Khun Sam says sadly. Martha dips her finger into her own drink and splashes it all over Khun Sam.
"PP! Mon just met me. She respects me."
"Stop calling me PP"
"Kate, pass me the menu. I'll ask our PP." Since Martha is hosting for the day, Kate hands her the menu and asks Khun Sam. "What do you want to eat?"
"Whatever, I never get what I want."
"Do you want this... octopus sushi?"
"Perfect."
"Right. I won't ask for that." Martha smiles and looks at another page. "How about this, tuna sushi?"
"You can see it well."
"I won't⦠how about this, shrimp salad?"
"More or less."
"Okay, then no. These are sea urchin eggs, just like in the movie Fanday." (Name of a Thai movie)
"They're made from sea urchin testicles, aren't they?"
"Maybe yes. Would you?"
"No."
"Great, I'll order this dish."
Everyone claps excitedly. Khun Sam crosses his arms and looks at everyone without saying anything. As for me, it is better to remain silent and sympathize with Khun Sam, who is mocked by his friends.
"Irritated... I go to the bathroom. I'll be right back."
After Khun Sam goes to the bathroom and leaves me alone, they all look at me and then at their watches before saying, "How long is PP in the bathroom?"
"She didn't put on makeup. It should take about 5 minutes."
"Jim, you need to make her stay there for 8-10 minutes. Mon, I'm going to ask you something."
"Yeah?" I look at her and feel insecure. What happened? "What's that?"
"You and PP, what is your relationship?"
"Is there? I'm just his subordinate."
"Really? Why are you wearing his clothes? I remember this color. You two look like a couple."
"Ahhh..." I think for a moment and answer honestly. "Last night I stayed at Khun Sam's house, she had a headache. So I stayed with her."
"Did you two sleep together? Did she let you into her house?" Tee crosses her arms and looks at me in surprise after hearing my answer. âI, who have been her friend for 10 years, never entered her house. Even when we were scheduling something, we would meet outside. She is afraid that people will destroy her house."
"Uhh... I don't know."
"Just a subordinate, really?"
"Sure. What else could it be?"
"Wife... Ah... Or husband... but your fingernails are quite long." Kate speaks excitedly. But as I hesitate to say anything, he raises his hand and scratches his head. "Why complicate this?
Are you PP's girlfriend? Just answer yes or no."
"No. I'm just a subordinate. I'm not lying to you."
"It may be true. The PP doesn't know how to do that." Tee replies "She's not a lesbian, you know?
How dare Jim say that Mon is like her? Disgusting."
"Anything is possible. Mon is so cute. By the way, didn't you shoot anything last night?"
"I'm a girl. How would she roll?" I say this because I really don't know what could have happened. They all look at each other to end the interview.
The war is over.
"It's weird. PP let someone into his house." Kate remains confused while the others remain silent, so I ask.
"Is it really that weird? I just spent the night."
"Sure. He doesn't let anyone in. He has his own space. That's why he surprised us all...
He doesn't normally introduce us to anyone, but he introduced you. It must be because he doesn't want anyone to see his reality."
Yes, I am also surprised.
"Even Mr. Kirk, we don't know him yet." T said.
"Serious?" Interesting. "That's weird."
"Yeah, it's pretty weird."
"But PP always acts weird and we never know what he's thinking." Tee touches her chin gently. âShe is a difficult person and does not say what she thinks⦠It is complicated. You don't understand why she's not close to her."
"Is she difficult?"
"Didn't you see? She never says what she wants. She avoids getting to the point, but keeps spinning the subject around. In the end, we're under her control and doing what she wants. She's like a dictator who takes it easy." ."
I think I saw more than that.
"But we get it. She grew up under a lot of pressure, she can't be herself, she can't be what she wants. So, she's the type to brood over the topic... See? When we ordered food it seemed like we were bothering her, but we were really helping her choose."
"Hmm?"
âIf he says yes or perfect, it means he doesn't want it. On the contrary, if he says that it is not good or not, it means that he wants it, but he doesn't want to show me what he really wants. ."
This is something I never knew. Is there such a woman?
"Yes. When we were in school, we ate street food: spicy papaya salad. While we were eating, she kept saying it wasn't clean and blah blah blah. But the next day, we saw her eating. When she was trapped, she avoided the matter, saying that his body was very clean and that he should eat something dirty from the street to balance his immune system." Tee laughs as he talks about his childhood memories. In my case, I smile too because I thought the story was cute.
You know her well.
"Sure. We've been friends for a long time, so we know her well. She's the type we like to tease the most in this world. No matter what we do, she doesn't get mad or we don't know." if it is, because his face does not change its expression. We just know she's cute, if she wasn't my friend I'd hit her."
"Then why?" I feel a bit embarrassed to ask this question while sitting in this restaurant. "Why do you call her PP?
"Pubic hair?"
Kate answers without hesitation. But I have a hard time repeating those words out loud, even though I know what they are about.
"Hey?"
âWe call it PP⦠It stands for pubic hair. Just a nickname we gave him when we were younger.
"When we first called her that, she didn't get mad." Tee laughs. Kate tells me more to understand the story.
âAt first, no one liked her because we thought she would be arrogant due to her Mhom Luang status⦠But then we realized that she is a good girl⦠Wow! We wasted our time, she is coming back. Quick Give me your number." Kate said. "Do you have Line? I'll add you."
"Ah OK."
"Fast!" I forcefully give them my phone number. They run to the rescue and wink at me.
"Thank you, whatever you want to know I'll tell you through Line. By the way, let's play a prank."
"Joke?"
"I want to know how she feels about you. She's coming back."
Khun Sam comes back, and when he sees that Tee is sitting next to me, he pulls his friend over and puts her in her place. And then he sits next to me. Kate and Tee look at each other for a moment and ask.
"PAGES"
"My name is Sam."
Despite the fact that she warned them, they ignore it and continue calling her PP
"Do you think Mon is cute?"
What crazy question is this? Khun Sam looks at his friends for a moment and looks at me with a downcast smile.
"No, she's not pretty at all."
"You do not like?"
Khun Sam is silent for a moment, then answers clearly.
"Um, I don't like it."
His friends smile. Me too, since I just received information that she is the type of person who says the opposite of what she thinks.
Palpitation...
