The other day I boldly invited Phum to come to my house. Unfortunately, I was disappointed because he rejected me.

You're holding onto your pride too much. Don't let P'Peem be cruel, or Non will probably get hurt. Kekeke. I just sat there smiling, wide-eyed, all alone. And before I really went crazy, the phone's ring interrupted me. Glancing at the time, no need to guess who it is. There's only one person who calls at this time of the day - my father.

"Hello, handsome Peem speaking."

[Oh, I think I called the wrong number]

(T/N: 🤣🤣🤣)

"Comrade, what's going on? What are you calling me for?"

[What's wrong with your tongue? Speak nicely]

I laughed loudly and spoke in a normal way as my father asked.

"Why are you calling? Are you going to transfer me money? Twenty thousand ná. Now I have only twenty left."

[Do you spend money or do you burn it? I just transferred it to you.]

"Hee hee, I'm just kidding. I won't ask you for money. I'll ask aunt Pui. Do you have any updates today? Tell me."

[I'm going on a trip.]

"Really? Where are you going? With whom?"

[Phuket, I will take my wife on a honeymoon. I haven't traveled for a long time. If they don't approve my vacation leave, I'll resign.] Thai police are as strong as anyone in the world.

"Do you have an appointment with aunt Pui? You all fled into the sea. Let Peem come with you."

[Do you understand the meaning of 'honeymoon', Mew (Kitty)? Going with us to be a third wheel? Don't you have any shame? If your duty is to study, just study.]

(*Peem's father always calls him by petname Mew. So cute!)

"Owwww, are you saying this to cut off the father and son relationship?"

[Should I take a knife or scissors?]

Most father would call their sons "Tiger", right? But my father calls me "Cat". Giving the reason that 'The tiger is big. Just small one like you, being called a cat is enough.'. Because my body isn't big enough so I was downgraded from a tiger to just a cat. Very imaginative, my father.

[T/N: Now we know whom Peem inherits the imagination from.
azzianna : and the sassiness 😌]

"Ah, got it, during the semester break, I won't return to Chiang Mai. Don't miss me."

[I'm going to order a rocket to hit your coffee shop. Both aunt and nephew will go into the fertilizer business. So, where is aunt Pui going?]

(T/n: 😂😂😂)

"Went to a seminar in Krabi"

[Oh.]

"That's why Peem asked you if you had made an appointment with aunt Pui or not."

[How can I make an appointment? She barely ever calls me. And who do you stay at home with?]

"I'm home alone. But I'll call Q and other guys over to sleep. Por, let Peem go with you ná náaa~."

[Do you want to eat my bullets? Why don't you listen to me. Are you planning to skip school?]

Listen to the words that spill from my father's lips, one can't help but be transported to an era long past. I laughed until I couldn't breathe.
