DESTINY

EIGHT

Fourth woke up first, he felt a hand wrapped around his waist. He turned his head towards the owner of the hands and saw that Gemini was still sleeping.

He tried to release himself from that boy but everytime he moved, the hand that wrapped his waist would get tightened.

"Get off me! I know you're awake, huh, Gem..!" Fourth tapped his hand repeatedly.

"Five more minutes Phi..." Gemini said with his raspy voice.

"No... I need to get up.. And you have to go!" Fourth said while still trying to release himself.

"Are you kicking me out Phi?" Gemini released Fourth and sat facing him.

Fourth stared at him but he rolled his eyes. "Don't be so dramatic! We have to go to campus right?? But we can't go together..!"

"Why?? Yesterday we go together from there, why can't we come together??" Gemini objected that.

"Gem.. You have to understand... We-"

"Ok I get it... I know what you mean.... I'll take a shower first." With that Gemini get inside the bathroom and locked the door.

Fourth sighed. He just didn't want Gemini and him being a talk in the university.

He remembered his dean's call last night when Gemini took a shower.

"Swatdee khub Khun Arthit.."

[Swatdee khub Nattawat...I'm sorry I have to call you this late, but this is a little bit urgent....]

"It's okay Khun Arthit.. What is it?"

[Uhmm..there's a rumor that spread in our group chats..I guess you already know...they say that you were way too often being with your student.. Norawit Titicharoenrak.. Is it true?]

"I'm sorry Khun..I was just gave him a tutorial, because his score was getting low.. I just didn't want my student failed in my lesson.." Fourth was confused what to say to his dean so he just blurted it out like that.

[Is that so? Uhmm.. Okay.. Just remember Nat.. There's a rule in our university that forbid a relationship between lecturer and their student.. I hope you understand.. I'm not forbid you Nat.. But please not in our surrounding... You got it right?]

"Yes... Khun... I'm sorry... I'll remember that.."

[I just didn't want them to talk about you Nat... You know that I really like you.. You're one of my top Professor.. And you're famous among the others lecturers.. So you are easily get spotted...]

"Yes.. I understand.. Thank you Khun.."

Fourth closed his eyes and exhaled. He was confused about what he should say to Gemini.

But little did he knew that Gemini heard him. Even though he just heard what Fourth had said, but he knew it enough what they're talking about.

He got out from the bathroom and walked to Fourth's room to wore his clothes. Fourth didn't see him. He was drawn in his thoughts. Until Gemini tapped his shoulder and startled him.

"I gotta go Phi... Thank you for last night... I hope you didn't regret about me stayed here.." He said.

"No.. You can come here again some other times..." Fourth hesitantly said.

Gemini smiled faintly. His urges to touch his professor's face was high. And finally he touched Fourth's cheek and caressed it. Fourth was stunned. Their eyes met and this time Gemini cut it and he excused himself from there.
