This morning, my mother woke us up early to go make merit at the temple. Only five of us managed to wake up: Fang, Q, Beer, Phum, and me. Chan and Matt, being Christians, couldn't join (though they would go for sightseeing or taking photos, just not for Buddhist rituals).

On the way back, I told mom to go back with Fang and Q because I had to take Kluen to the bus station. This morning, Kluen suddenly said that he would return to Bangkok. He refused his father to send someone to pick him up. My dad offered to send someone, but he also declined. Khun Chai said he was bored of flying and wanted to take a bus to enjoy the breeze and the scenery. He even considered taking the train, but my mom and I managed to dissuade him. By the time he reached Bangkok, he'd be sore all over, haha.

I was surprised when he suddenly said he was leaving today. Kluen said that he has to hurry back because there's something to do, even though originally he was going to stay in Chiang Mai for a few more days. As for the reason why he was rushing back, I kind of understood, but I tried to persuade him to stay longer. However, he insisted on leaving, so I couldn't stop him.

Meanwhile, Pan and the others were still passed out at home. Before leaving, I decided to prank him.

"Pan, wake up! There's a flood!" I shouted in his ear while shaking him. The others were laughing behind me.

"Flood? Pack up!" Pan rolled away and covered his face with a pillow but still managed to respond.

"Hey, Pan, there's a fire!"

"Use the floodwater to put out the fire," he replied instinctively. Good reflexes, my friend.

"Pan, there's an earthquake!"

"Yeah, the earth is shaking, but I'm not moving. I'm too sleepy. Leave me alone." he said, kicking around and accidentally hitting Matt next to him.

The highlight was that damn Phi Q. He must have thought I didn't see him. He sneaked a kiss on Nong Toey's cheek before leaving. Oh my! He's sweet too, you know.

I went to drop Kluen off at the Chiang Mai bus station, with someone looking grumpy tagging along. Don't think for a second that Kluen and I would go alone, haha. The atmosphere in the car was tense, very quiet, dead quiet.

"Phum, stop by 7-Eleven. I'm hungry," I leaned forward to tell him because I was in the back seat. Phum was driving, and Kluen was in the front. They weren't talking, making the atmosphere even more tense. I was scaredyyyyyy.

"What are you hungry for this early? You'll get a stomach ache eating at odd hours." Phum grumbled, glancing at me before turning back. Just say you don't want to stop, you lazy bum.

"I'm hungry. Kluen, you're hungry too, right?"

"Whatever." Kluen replied, making Phum grumble but still turning into 7-Eleven as I requested, hehe.

Then a bizarre and confusing situation occurs. When I stepped out of the car, I only got to walk two steps before Kluen came out too. I just realized that when I wasn't  in the car there would be only Kluen and Phum, and there's no way they would want to be alone together. When Phum saw Kluen walking along with me, he also quickly turned off the engine and followed. It's unbelievable that three people have to come to buy only a piece of bread.

It's really entertaining when Kluen and Phum walk together, attracting attention from the staff, even passers-by turned around and looked back at them. The girls were staring at Phum and Kluen, ignoring me. Hey, look at me too!

I just noticed that they're about the same height, but Kluen is a little thicker. As for who is more handsome, the judgment is rather subjective. so I can't answer, he he.
