(Couldn’t she bring one out there?) As for Phun, he decided to be very supportive of his sister. He told me that the mosquitoes will bite us if we stay outside. (It’d be simpler if you just let me go home!)

Of course, I always lose when it comes to these arguments. There’s a saying “your mouth is drowning so the water spinach is drifting.”* I finally understand what it means now. (Did someone just say that this isn’t how the proverb goes?) So here I am sitting on the sofa in the living room of the Phumipat Resident. Meanwhile, Pang is sitting on another sofa nearby. As for Phun…he’s so close that I might as well be sitting on his lap.

“Why are you so close?! It’s hot!” I whisper to Phun so that Pang, who is watching an English series, would not hear. This ########## simply mocks
me in return by giving me a look.

“You’re hot? Should I turn the A/C up?”

“No! Just move away!” Why can’t he think of something so simple for himself? -_-”

Instead, he gives me a sly smile. “How can I do that? We need to be convincing, Noh.” The ########## is he on about being convincing?! He’s the one doing all of this against my will!

“What the ########## are you talking about? Just move!” I start to get vulgar with him. I refuse to give up in making him move away from me. He listens and it seems like he’ll let me have my way this time around.

I let out a huge sigh of relief since Phun finally moves away from me (even though we’re still sitting right next to each other). That relief didn’t
last long since Phun decided to lean over and put his arm around my shoulders!

Seriously, man?!

I notice that nong Pang is now staring at us. Her eyes are twinkling but there’s something odd about them. It seems to be filled with warmth and
happiness, though I can’t really explain it. But whatever it is, I’m getting goosebumps all over my arms.

Please just keep watching the television, Pang! T____T

“P’Noh, how are you getting home tonight? It’s pretty late.” Nong Pang shoots me a question.

But…is there more to that question? No, no, no.

This is not good. I should change the direction, it’d be safer. I check my watch and realize that it actually is pretty late. It’s time I escape from this 18th level of hell.

“I rode my motorcycle here. I probably should get going. Bye, Phun.” I turn around and wave at the
older troublemaker who is about to get up to see me off. However, it seems the younger troublemaker won’t let me go and reincarnate that
easily.

“How can you let p’Noh go off in the night like that, p’Phun?! What if something happens to him on his way home?! Who’ll be responsible for that?!” What the hell? I’m 17! I can take care of myself, Pang!

“Uh…”

“P’Noh, spend the night here? Please? You can sleep in p’Phun’s room. You can’t leave tonight, it’s too dangerous.” What am I supposed to do with a kitten that is hanging on my arm currently? -_-” If I could, I would love to kick her and watch
as she bounces away.

Those tiny lips continue to move and it doesn’t seem like they’d be stopping any time soon.

“P’Phun, you can’t just tell me that you got a boyfriend so that I’d talk to Dad for you. If you don’t take a good care of p’Noh, then I won’t help
you.” H oly ##########! What the hell?! There is a 500pt exclamation mark on my face, I might fall over.

“Um, Noh. You should probably spend the night. If you go home now…heh…it’ll be dangerous. Heh…
heh.” Look at him chuckling. He’s clearly laughing at me. ########## Phun, if you’re not gonna bother helping me then at least don’t make it worse. Ugh, which profanity should I throw in his face first?!

“How can I do that? We have school tomorrow. I didn’t bring my uniform with me.”

“You can wear p’Phun’s uniform, p’Noh.”

“I can’t do that. The student ID won’t match.” Here goes nothing. It’s the battle on who will win this
debate now.

“That’s okay. Brother** rarely checks that stuff.

And even if he starts asking question, you can just tell him that you happened to spent the night at
my place so you’re borrowing my uniform.” You’re not helping at all, Phun! Fucking hell! I’m so touched by your kindness!

I’m so touched!

“….” I’m speechless now. I’ve gone mute. I have no retorts left in me.

“You should go upstairs and take a shower. The both of you. And I’ll try talking to Dad about that thing later, p’Phun.” Pang tells us while she shoves our backs, forcing us out of the living room so that we can go to the honeymoon suite (??).

Phun’s eyes lit up at the last sentence she said.

On the other hand, I’m feeling pretty depressed about this whole thing.

What does she mean try? How long will I be stuck in this situation?!

“Don’t worry about your club’s budget. I’ll take care of that for you too.” Phun whispers to me. I actually almost forgot about this.

Is this really worth it?! Honestly!
