Chapter 9 : A feeling that is brewing


Tit tit, tit tit


Nooooo


At a medium sized bedroom in a luxury condo in the capital of Thailand, the sky outside was still pitch black as the sound of a mobile phone, that was different from the one that I was using, rang out loud, indicating that it was 5am.


I slowly wake up to the familiar sound of my alarm that I hear everyday, but I was still not used to it because today I have to wake up earlier than usual and last night, I went to bed when it was already a new day. I twisted my body lazily as I reached out to pick up my phone that was making an annoying noise at the head of my bed.


Normally after getting my phone, I will play with it for a while to slowly wake myself up from my sleepiness.


Tup


Hmmmm


On my familiar medium sized bed, I often extend my arms and legs out carelessly without caring because I sleep alone. But when I stretched out my arm, I touched someone’s body.


N’Weha! That’s right! Last night he came over to sleep at my place because it was raining heavily. Most importantly, we were going to the beach together this morning. It’s as if all the memories were slowly flowing back into my head. This made me lie back on my side and face the sleeping person next to me. I was feeling a little scared , yet a little brave.


The sleeping face of the nation’s husband made me fully awake now, regardless of how we only slept a few hours last night. Apart from being fully awake, my blood also seemed to be pumping especially well. Eh, I’m pretty sure there’s someone messing with the air conditioner, it’s so hot suddenly!


I quickly dismissed my thoughts of something that will probably… yeah… I got rid of my shyness before running off to take a shower and get dressed. We have to arrive at the university before the departure time of 6.30am. Today, Weha slept over as well so we have to add time for the both of us to shower and get dressed, so I have to quickly shower first because I wanted to let him sleep a little more. In my opinion, a popular star like Weha probably doesn’t have much time to rest.


It took no more than 20 minutes for me to shower and get dressed. I then quickly went to wake up Weha to go shower and get dressed as well. Even though the time now is already 5.20am, it doesn’t take more than 20 mins to get to the university from my condo. But I don’t know how long it will take for him to get dressed, so I better wake him up quickly.


“N’Weha, it’s time to wake up”


“……”


“N’Weha, it’s already morning, we won’t be able to get on the bus in time.” After the first try, there was still no response from the tall person who was sleeping. This time, I had to poke his shoulders to let him feel a little more conscious.


“……”


“N’Weha” I exerted a little more force.


“Ummm” He let out a little noise while his face was mixed with annoyance at someone disturbing his sleep.


But what made me stunned was him holding my hand to stop me from interfering with his sleep even further.


“N’Weha please wake up” But even so, he still has to wake now if not we might miss the bus.


Suddenly!


“Oops” Weha turned to the other side while holding my hand. The force of him turning caused me to lose my balance and made me directly fall onto him.


“Ouch” The force at which I fell onto him made Weha wake up immediately. But the main point is that when I fell, my elbow slammed into his lower abdomen, right above, um… by just a little. This definitely caused him to be fully awake.


“……” My face sunk into his chest. Right now, I was like someone who was numb to my surroundings, and I don’t know what I should do.


“Don’t you know how to wake someone up properly?” Weha said to me in a slightly moody voice while our situation was still like that.


I slowly tried to get away from his body.


“Err, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to do this. I just lost my footing a little, hehe.” I don’t know what else to say at this moment except to apologize because I was very embarrassed.


“……” Weha didn’t answer as he slowly sat up in my bed.


“N’Weha, you should go and take a shower quickly. It’s already 5.30am and I’m scared that we’ll miss the bus.”


“Umm” Weha drowsily replied yet he still got up from the bed and went to prepare his things to shower.


He got up from the bed and walked over to his bag of clothes to choose his outfit for today.


I stopped paying attention to him and turned back to tidy the bed, this is one of my habits that I already do on a daily basis. I looked at the bed and couldn’t help but blush. Last night, me and Weha slept in the same bed, on the same pillow, and even shared the same blanket. I don’t even know how I fell asleep when I was so shy even before we went to bed. If Jan finds out about this, she’ll definitely stop being friends with me.


After tidying the bed, I turned around in order to clean up the rest of my room. But the sight in front of me made me stop breathing, even though it was only for a short period of time.


Ackkkkkkkkkkkkk


The image of Weha walking into the bathroom shirtless, meaning that the top half of his body is bare as he walks into the bathroom. As I can see, he has quite a strong back, suitable with his height of more than 180cm. If it was a normal man looking at an image like this, he probably wouldn't pay much attention to it. But that’s probably not the case with me… if I see you completely take off your shirt in front of me, I don’t know what it will be like either.


This morning became somewhat of a morning where I seemed to be exercising so much, my face has been red ever since I woke up. I tried my best to act normal while continuing to clean my room. I then sat down to wait for Weha to come out of the bathroom.


At nearly 6am, he finally came out of the bathroom. Thank you so much for already getting dressed before coming out… but once again, the image in front of me stunned me again. Weha was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and blue shorts which added on to his very charming face as he stepped out.


“For the towel and clothes that I borrowed, I’ll wash them for you”


“……”


“Do you have a plastic bag that I can put them in?”


“……”


“P’Gun, why are you staring at me?”


Heuk


My consciousness came back 100% as I was shocked that he called me that. I didn’t even realize that I’ve been staring at him for so long.


“Ah, er, um, it’s nothing. What did you say just now?” I quickly made up an excuse and asked him to repeat his request because I wasn’t listening to him at all.


“The clothes that I borrowed, I’ll return it to you after washing, and do you have a plastic bag for me to put them in?”


“Is that so? Alright then, let me get a bag for you.”


After that, we gathered and checked that we had all our things before quickly leaving the room because it was already 6am now, even the sky outside had started to lighten a little.


The both of us carried large bags and took the lift down from our floor. At this early hour in the morning, there weren’t many people awake. There were only 2 of us in the lift. All of a sudden, Weha asked something that ruined this quiet atmosphere.


“Can I park my car at your condo?”


“Ok, but for visitors who park their car here, it’s 200 baht per day.”


“Umm, I’ll leave it here then. I’ll come to pick it up tomorrow when we return.”


“Oh, you don’t want to drive it there?”


“I wouldn’t know where to park even if I drove it. Let’s just take a taxi from here, it’s easier.”


“Oh, okay then.” I forgot that there was no parking space around the university. Then again, we will be taking the bus there together, so it’s probably a better idea for him to park here.


Hence, we went to the university by taking a taxi at the front of my condo. Because of the bus stop at the front of my condo, public vehicles are always driving around here.


It wasn’t long before we arrived at the university. On a Saturday morning like this, even in Bangkok, there still won’t be a traffic jam. That’s why for today, we arrived especially quick. The taxi fare didn’t even reach 60 baht even though when I usually ride to the university, the taxi meter will definitely be more than 60 baht. And of course, for the taxi fare… I didn’t get to pay again.


“What’s up… Gun, good morning, have you eaten anything yet?” Ten, a line code in the same year as me, greeted me as soon as he saw my face. Ten is my closest friend in this house. Even though Ten majors in Russian language, we’re under the same faculty, but, his main building is different from mine, so we rarely meet. We talk frequently on Line though.


“Hi Ten, long time no see. We haven’t eaten anything yet but we’re not hungry, it’s still early.” I greeted him back before answering the question he asked.


“Oh, then it should be okay to wait a little while. There are lunchboxes that the seniors have made. If Gun gets hungry, just tell me… and you’re a first-year, right? You can go sit and wait with your friends under the faculty first.” Ten saw Weha standing next to me, so he asked him to go be with his friends from the same year. Hence, the younger one left.


“So, we’re going to leave at 6.30am, right, Ten?” I asked Ten after Weha left to be with the rest of the first-year juniors.


“I think that we might leave a little later, because the year-3 and year-4 seniors want to gather all the younger ones first and talk to them a little before leaving.”


“Oh, and how many seniors are going together?”


“I feel like there will be three year-3 seniors and two more year-4 seniors. A majority of the seniors who are coming are representative of their year so they have to come, but the rest of them don’t care anymore.” That is the truth of the activities of the house. Most of them will only do it for the first two years, after that, they will only join in for those that are necessary. The main purpose of the activities seems to let us know our friends only. Because after becoming seniors, not many people care anymore.


“Ohhh”


“Then let’s go together first, the seniors will probably start talking to them soon.”


Me and Ten walked over to our faculty building where all the juniors had already gathered. Soon after, the year-2 representative, Oh, and the assistant, Tae, appeared.


“Hello guys, everyone’s here already, right? All of you haven’t forgotten about this handsome P’Oh yet, right? Today, we will be going to Cha-am for our freshie activities. Actually, it’s more like we’re going on a trip together instead of saying that we’re going just for the freshie welcoming ceremony because for the ceremony this time round, there’s only going to be fun. So, all of you don’t have to worry about us forcing you to participate in any activities.” Oh started by greeting the juniors before telling them about the activities.


“The schedule for today is already in the bags that have been distributed. In there, you’ll find a box, a water bottle, a notebook, and the schedule of the trip. The notebook that you have received will be used to note down points that you can get when you play games when we reach the place that we are staying at later. Whoever collects the most points will receive a prize.”


“And this year, we would like to thank N’Fuse and family very much for sponsoring the freshie welcoming ceremony for our Annyeong House by accommodating all of us in 23 rooms at the luxurious 4-and-a-half-star resort for free. Thank you very much to N’Fuse and family. Everyone please give a round of applause to your friend.” This year, we have a sponsor in our house as well. In our year, there wasn’t any sponsor like this, 8 of us had to squeeze in one room and it wasn’t as luxurious as this as well.


“Hoooo, this year is amazing, haha, Ai N’Fuse is the best in this house.” Ten said.


“Speaking of that, which one is N’Fuse?”


“There, the tall, fair-skinned man.” Ten pointed towards a boy who seemed to be as tall as Weha and who was surrounded by many female friends.


“……” I didn’t say anything and just nodded my head.


“He looks like he has Chinese roots, is from a wealthy family, has good habits, and is good looking. Look, only women are interested, I’m so jealous. Sigh” Ten talked and complained by himself, and even got sulky by himself. Haha. But even though he’s like this, Ten also has a lover, and she’s very cute too.


“Hmm, continue speaking like this and I’ll go tell Praaw. You already have such a beautiful girlfriend, why do you still want other people’s attention?”


“Oh, this is normal for any man. What about you? When will you get a boyfriend? Or have you not forgotten about Ai’Porsche?” Ten is another person who knows about my preferences and about my past relationship with Porsche because Porsche came to pick me up very often before, so, I confessed to Ten that I had a lover and he’s a man.


“Haha, nope. I don’t think about him anymore. I’m also not obstructing myself from having a new love. It’s just like that. There are just some people who like me here and there.” (Maybe) I could only say this last word in my heart because I still wasn’t confident of my own feelings yet.


“Hmm,  what is this, I don’t understand. But who is it Gun? It’s not Ten, right? I already have Praaw na Gun. Even though Gun is cute, I can only love one person… but if Gun wants to be my mistress, I’ll go and talk to Praaw.” Ten teased me.


“That’s enough Ten, haha, stop it! Do I really think of you as a friend? Are you even listening to yourself? If Praaw heard it, she would definitely hate me.” Even though he talks like that, Ten can still be considered as a good-looking person. A handsome man with a dark Thai style. But I’ve never thought of Ten that way, I’ve never liked him more than the word ‘friend’.


“Hahaha, I’m just kidding, look at your face… but you wouldn’t know, going to the beach this time round, you may return with a boyfriend. Look at the people around here, aren’t you interested even a little?” Ten opened his mouth to gesture to Fuse who was currently looking in my direction… But I didn’t care about Fuse as I glanced at Weha who was also looking in my direction with a slightly frustrated look before he turned back to listen to the seniors who were currently speaking in front of him.


“Hehe, nonsense, stop it” I was starting to get shy with what he was saying so I quickly changed the subject.


Soon after, the meeting before the trip finished and we gradually walked to the buses that were parked opposite the faculty building… We will be travelling by 2 luxury university buses, and will be separated by seniors and first-year juniors.


“Bus number 1 will be for the first-year students, all of you will sit together. You can choose whatever seat you like. As for the seniors, we’ll sit in the other bus. If there is any problem just send it in the group Line.” As soon as the voice stopped, the juniors quickly got onto the bus to choose their seats. The seniors also gradually got onto our own bus. Most of us choose to sit beside someone we’re close with. It’s the same with me as I sat next to Ten.


“Do you want to eat this Gun?” After getting in the car, Ten unwrapped his own snacks to share with me.


“Ten can eat it, I’m not hungry yet.”


“Is there anyone who still doesn’t have a partner to sit with? I will let nong sit with them. Ai’Oh has to sit with the juniors so there is one nong left who doesn’t have a seat.” Tae’s voice sounded out over the rest of the seniors.


“There’s a seat here!” A year-3 senior shouted very loudly from the back of the bus.


“Then I’ll let nong sit there… go and sit with that P’ first na”


“Ohh, isn’t that Gun’s tech junior?”


“Hmmm” I looked up from my phone screen at Ten’s voice to see Weha coming up the seniors’ bus.


“Ah, yeah, that’s my tech junior.” My code junior as well, I thought to myself.


“What about this, let him sit with you, I can go and sit with P’Tong, nong may feel uncomfortable.”


“Does it have to be like that?”


“Just like that.”


Ten stood up and went to talk to Weha for a bit before walking to the back of the bus to sit with the seniors.


“……”


He sat next to me without saying a word.


“Err, is the other bus full?”


“Umm”


He looks annoyed at something, but I couldn’t figure out what.


“Err okay”


Right now, our conversation was silent because I didn't really know what to talk about anymore until I started to feel a little pressured.


So, I came up with a plan to make him feel better. This is a plan I use often when pleading or asking for something.


Pok (sound of opening a can)


“N’Weha, do you want to drink this?” I put the straw into the Coke can and handed it to him.


“……” He turned to look at me.


“Err P’ will feed it to you.” I’m embarrassed even though I said it myself.


Chwab


He brought the straw to his mouth while I was still holding the can… Weha looked at me while drinking the Coke can in front of me.


I started to feel like I was slowly starting to blunder… our eyes were staring at each other as if we were competing and the person who looks away first, loses.


“The Coke is so sweet that it’s able to cool down my mood.” Weha softly said before smiling at me.


“Uhhhhhh”


“Heuheu” What kind of laughter is this? I can’t move on at all…


After that, we didn’t talk anymore, but seeing that his mood is better as compared to before, I’m happy with just this.


Peuk


Hmmmmmmmmm


Teuk teuk, teuk teuk. Right now, he has fallen asleep, with his head leaning against my shoulder… I stopped breathing for a moment as I looked at the image in front of me. I don’t even have the will to move right now.


I had a certain feeling in me as I looked at him… a man who was several hundred centimeters taller than me was currently sleeping really comfortably. At this point, I don’t even know what I’m thinking about, or am I just denying what I really want……
