We are...คือเรารักกัน (We are... we are in love)

Chapter 2 Retaliate (Part 2)

T/N: Prince of Gossip 😮🙄😯😑

He almost had an issue with his friend Phum at the Chaturamit* event. It made them even more annoying about each other. They had challenged each other to race cars once in a while. When they had free time and had nothing to do, they found reasons to fight each other for fun. Damn it, it was so funny that they probably hit each other's mouth until it's covered in blood. They were excited like hot-blooded teenagers who don't like each other but not to the point of wanting to kill each other to make curry.

* Chaturamit Samakkhi is a traditional   competition played by the four oldest boys' schools in Thailand: Suankularb Wittayalai School, Debsirin School, Assumption College, and Bangkok Christian College.

But then one day an unexpected event occurred. If it is an action movie, it must probably be the important climax of the story. Two heroes, who had been fighting each other their entire lives because of different beliefs, were on different sides, but then both found out the truth that they were used by a secret government organization. So they worked together to eliminate that organization and defeat the evil villain that wanted to rule the world. You see, the plot of a Hollywood movie can be written by anyone. This version wasn't told by Tan. I added my own ingredients to enhance the taste.

[T/N: 😅😅😅 It's a common Hollywood movie cliché]

Tan didn't go into much detail here. He just said that he had helped Phum and another friend who were being attacked by some bastards from another school. Even though they survived, Phum reached the point of entering the ICU. As for Tan, he had to lie in bed and drink boiled rice water for almost a month. Then the legend of rivalry ends. They became true friends to this day. Is this the autobiography of Daeng Baile and Pu Bottle? Take off your shirt and look at your back. Do you have a Leaping Tiger tattoo by Achan Noo**?

* Daeng Bailey, Pu Bottle was famous teenage gangsters in Bangkok,  in the 1947-1957 era (Daeng Bailey is the protagonist of  Dang Bireley's and Young Gangsters that mentioned above)
** Achan Noo, a famous Thai tattoo artist (who has inked Angelina Jolie)

While listening to Tan's story I also recalled the past. How was it possible that I didn't know my friends' friends? I tried to find him in the memory pool. No matter how much I tried, I couldn't find him. Phum and I have probably never actually met before. But Tan, you and me need to talk later. It was then that Tan was admitted to the hospital. I still remembered what he said. He said he swerved his car to avoid a puppy that ran in front of the car. So he lost control and crashed into an electric pole. You bastard! I had believed and admired that my friend was really cool. Willing to risk his own life for a dog. I agreed to run in and out of the hospital to visit him for a month. If I knew that you went in for this reason, you would get (funeral) wreaths instead of damn soy milk. Thinking about it I was still angry. I should probably just let the bastard die. Let him go and hug Yamaban*. I wouldn't have taken care of him.

* the Prince of Devil

After listening to Tan's story, I found out that Phum was considered a dangerous person. Do not approach, do not feed. He graduated from a private all-boys school with a long-standing reputation. It is a Christian school that all wealthy boys like to study at. But fuck, this guy was acting contrary to every point of the school's mission. Looking at his heroism and behavior, it's unbelievable that he could be able to graduate with full thirty-two parts*. Let me predict that Phum won't be able to die of old age. Just that he had survived to this day was amazing enough, not to mention that he hadn't been expelled from school, hadn't been arrested, hadn't been shot. But when Tan whispered about what businesses Phum's house owned in the land of Thailand, I immediately understood why he had survived. Well, do you have money? If you have it, you'll survive. Welcome to Thailand.
