Yay, the exams are over! I've had three days of vacation, but even though the exams are done, my work isn't finished yet. I still have to complete the final drawing and submit it. The deadline is after the exams, so I still have to go to the university.

You have to understand that sometimes with art, you just don't have the mood. You can stare at the canvas all day and not draw a single line, but on other days, you can finish a drawing in less than an hour.

[T/n: Mood or the pressure of Deadline?]

The professor understands because we're the same kind of people. If we don't understand each other, who will? It seems nice, right? But the truth is, we asked the professor to extend the deadline to after the exams because we couldn't finish it in time. Haha!

As for Toey, he really lives up to what he said. By nature, Toey is already a strong person. He said not to make him show his power because from now on, he will make up for everything he has suppressed for three years. Haha, I'm really worried about Q.

And the fake boyfriend, Chan, is so good. He drives to pick Toey up and drop him off, takes him out to eat sometimes, pretends to watch over him sometimes, just like when he flirts with girls. No need to teach him anything complicated because a crocodile is already good at swimming.

"Peem, don't you think Chan and Toey are acting weird?" Q nudged me with a paintbrush that hadn't been dipped in paint yet, pointing at Chan and Toey who were sitting at the next table, smiling broadly. Toey was working on his sculpture; I heard he was going to study sculpting.

"Oh, where have you been? Don't you know that those two are dating?"

"What?! Dating? Chan? I don't believe it." Q's mouth dropped open as he stared at Chan and Toey. Chan must have heard it because he quickly scooted closer to Toey and put his arm around Toey's waist. Toey flinched as if he was going to move away. Luckily, he was able to restrain himself and quickly fed Chan a snack instead. Wow, such an Oscar-worthy performance.

"See? Do you believe it now? They're hugging like that. Why don't you go congratulate them?" As a troublemaker, I followed the script Pan gave me.

"Chan? And Toey?" Q was still confused.

"Yeah, why are you so surprised? Tan is dating Fang, Phum and I are a couple, so why can't Chan and Toey be together?"

"It's not that they can't, but when did things spark between them? I could see it with you and Phum, but Toey... I had no idea."

I wasn't imagining it; Q looked frustrated.

"Well, you never cared about him, so how would you know?"

"Who said I don't care?"

"Huh?" I turned to look at Q twice. Oh my, Q flinched when he realized what he just said. He quickly pulled his gaze back from Chan and Toey.

"Uh, he's my Nong Code, so of course I care about him." My smile might have looked mischievous to Q.

Q, you're acting suspiciously. Toey, there's hope.

"Why are you concerned? Chan isn't someone else; he's our friend."

"Because he's my friend, I know what he's like."

"He's just like you, haha."

"Yeah, same old habits. Your husband too, so watch out."

"Damn, just paint your stuff, you motherfucker." Ugh, I wanted to breathe fire. Why does everyone have to tease me? Why do they have to use words to hurt a good guy like me? Nong Peem says it's not right. Ah, Peem can't take it anymore. My life is getting too funny.
