Chapter 41 (Rough Translation)

Start from the beginning
                                    

Right as Ae was ready to hang up the phone, the bathroom door opened. The guy who had just showered came out wearing his pajamas and holding a towel in his hand. Everything he said to Ae could also be heard on the other end of the phone. On the other end, Sun smiled lasciviously to himself.

[Oh, I see that you have found another way to release yourself, oh~ It's ten o'clock in the evening already. And guess who's not in the dormitory?]

"Shut up, hang up first!"

Ae didn't want to continue to listen to this nonsense and gossip. So he arbitrarily hung up and threw his phone aside. Then he raised his head and gazed at the person who's house he was in. He was once again asked to stay over, although at this time he should be reading in his dormitory.

The main reason is because Pond, who didn't study, liked to disturb others who studied. He chatted with his girlfriend, and talked loudly, not caring that someone was studying nearby. One noisy person was not enough, there was also a variety of different people talking in the next room. Crying that they weren't aware of the upcoming exam. Ae couldn't stand it any longer. He packed up his clothes and snacks, stuffed them into his bag and rode his bicycle over to his boyfriends apartment.

The other reason: he had to take the exams next week. He didn't have time to mess around, and couldn't be tired.

"The bad boy Sun called." Seeing Pete's curious eyes Ae answered immediately. "He said that our vacation spot has been moved from Hua Hin to Pranburi because Dear's boyfriend offered us free accommodation."

"Hua Hin and Pangwu are far away aren't they?"

"About half an hour's drive." As Ae said that he patted the seat next to him. Pete came over smelling freshly showered and sat down beside Ae. From his curious eyes one could tell he was very interested in Ae's trip. But why does Ae still insist on his original decision to not let Pete go with him.

Ae very bluntly said, he doesn't want Pete to be too close to Sun.

"Do you want to go?"

"I do. I haven't been to travel spots to hang out with friends. There were also summer camps organized by the school, but I can't imagine what it would be like to travel with high school students."

Ae nodded slowly and suddenly hesitated in not deciding to let Pete join too. To be honest, if Sun wasn't going, he would bring Pete with him in a heart beat.

"There is....I want to see what it looks like when you are with your friends."

When he said these words, Pete's face was red with shame. Ae couldn't help but to reach out and pat Pete's wet hair, and said in a concise manner, "It's nothing special, just at peace. The same as when I am with Pond."

"So who do you have the best relationship with?" Pete asked, Ae paused and frowned slightly.

"It's hard to answer this question. I have a good relationship with everyone. But if you ask who I am most comfortable with, then it would be Dear. Everyone else is too poisonous."

Ae said while shaking his head. Just imagining a scene of when they were hanging out, he already brought back a memory, and then talked about the past:

"When we were in our third year of high school, Mai was the leader of our group. Suddenly one day I proposed to go to the river to swim. We all agreed. We wanted to swim but we wanted to do it without spending money. We got a free ride to our destination. It was really difficult to do in 1998 but it was really fun."

Pete listened as if he was a little fan listening to an interesting novel. So Ae continued on and said:

"The most funny memory of Dear. We all didn't know Pond is allergic to mosquito bites. When we came back from the river, both of his legs were full of mosquito bites and they were swollen like elephant legs. We almost drove him to the hospital when Dear suddenly said, 'Ah, are you allergic to mosquito bites? I have the medicine.' The result, we had to feed him and tend to him all night. Pond was completely unconscious."
