Chapter 20

All you need is love

We are now on an Airbus plane, a domestic airline, heading to Krabi. After the plane climbed back to its normal state, we were able to get out of the seats to go to the bathroom and use electronic devices, I picked up my phone to sneak around on the internet. Actually, there are some people like me who secretly surf the internet while the plane is flying. But I guess I won't be playing for long, just checking a few things.

And as soon as I entered the page, the first thing I saw was Choco's status he has uploaded a few minutes ago featured in the feed. In conclusion, it's not just me who secretly surfs the internet.

Choc Teeran: The best time @krabi *attach a picture*

The picture he posted with the status was a photo taken past my shoulder to the window. It's insulting, seems like I can't tell who it is, but if you look closely, you'll know it's me.

Where are you Choco? I heard that Star and Moon went camping during this period, didn't they?

I saw that someone told Nong'Choco to withdraw.

I doubt that I would like to take a vacation during the graduation period to travel with some people.

Hey, is that the person in the picture?

And who is the person in the picture? Is it Nong'Mel?

First social media update in two months. ** Well come back baby, you can update more often.

Apart from not updating Nong'Choco still rarely teases Mel on his status or photos that Jai and Boy tag him. Is he arguing with Mel?

No, the other day they still walked together at the Faculty of Science.

The reason for not teasing is probably because there is no need to tease like I can't eat quietly.

Scream plus a million comments

Boy Payang: Got very quiet. Damn. Why I don't know?

JaiJai F5: Oh, that's it. Should I fly along and mess around with him?

Mel Worapat: I'm sorry, I don't accept the excess.

Boy Payang: Wow, so you're really together, right?

Because I saw the message of two obnoxious people who were about to fly after us, I couldn't hold my hand and hurriedly typed back to the first. Realizing it again, I had already fallen into a hole with them.

"Each of your friends is a fucking idiot."

"They are like this but it is nothing. The more you argue, the more they will tease but if you don't like it, just tell them straight away." In the past, when people tease me on social media or tease me in person, it wasn't a problem that made me feel so uncomfortable. Plus it's fun to talk to them. The more days when I win an argument, the more I immediately feel elevated.

"I don't like it. But sometimes I want to know the weaknesses of the two of them."

"It's not that there isn't."

"Tell me what you know?" I turned to the person beside me. He smiled and pulled my cheek to stretch out, "Tell me, what weakness do your friends have?"

"In exchange for something?"

To begin with, this trip that I came with him, it's an exchange until the last tap. There shouldn't be anything left to exchange.

"Now I don't have anything to trade with, Choco?"

"A lot of Mel."

"For example at the end of this trip, I wouldn't have anything left to negotiate with you."

"Everything  you can negotiate with me...everything"

"Really?"

"Yes." Then why are you smiling? Making a big face until Choco smiles back at me. But before I was lost and fell in love with Choco's words, the stubbornness in my veins immediately pulled my sanity back.

"Wait, don't change the subject. So what's your friend's weakness?"

"Ai'Boy now seems to flirt with the former star of the group. I feel like it's the fourth-year senior of the Management."

"Wow, play high."

"As for Ai'Jai, his boyfriend has seen before..." When did you meet? I remember that since we got to know each other, Ai'Jai never brought his boyfriend to introduce me once. "Don't be confused. You've already met him. Figure out who is it, because if you can do it you can make fun of him until he dies."

"Who's it Choco, please tell me." I put my plow on his shoulder as a plea. I'm not embarrassed about whether anyone looks at me or not because there are not many Thai people around.

"I promised him that I wouldn't tell anyone."

"Doesn't that mean that Ai'Boy doesn't know about this?" A lazy person like Ai'Boy doesn't know about Ai'Jai, how can he have a boyfriend? It must be closed completely.

"Yes, I didn't know at first. But I find out because of pure coincidence."

"Honey, tell me. Do you want to know?" I begged him. Please take out what you know to stop their stubbornness. "Honey, tell me. Please!"

"It doesn't tell you."

"You're my boyfriend"

"Yes"

"So tell me." He was still silent, "Choco."

"..." It was still so quiet that I couldn't help but put my hand on his head. Wait and see, no answer today. Tomorrow must be I will trick him every day until the guy in front of me confesses to me who Jei's boyfriend is.

To be honest, I really can't imagine when I have met Ai'Jai's boyfriend. In my memory, there are no sweet pictures of Ai'Jai and his boyfriend at all. Or is it a friend at the faculty? And who is? I saw that he was close to this person all over the place.

"Your face is tense."

"Eh," how can you not be bothered about friends like this so that you can't stress me out?

"Let's keep it for the semester break. Let's go to Chiang Mai together just in case he takes his boyfriend along." The word in case of means is not even sure yet. But the main reason for this is because of one thing.

"Okay, your main point is whether you want to invite me to Chiang Mai, or do you want me to go see Ai'Jai's face?"

"I want to invite you to Chiang Mai. Haha. Let's go. My mom and dad want to see you."

"..."

"Mel, let's go..."

"Well, I still haven't said no. But it won't last long, Choco. I don't want to leave these three bad boys at home for a long time."

"You don't have to go for a week or so..." I nodded in response, not knowing if it was really time for me too because after receiving the two oranges together I've never left home for more than three or four days, but if there's any reason to go to bed at the dormitory, it's really shocking in a week, at least two days to come back and see if the stingray is still alive.

Although each trip home made me tired of sweeping and wiping what they messed up. But I'm happy to be with them.

It's good that the two oranges already know how to excrete them in the sandbox. But knowing this just isn't enough because there are still many things that I need to practice both scratching the sofa or whatever has to be done before it gets bigger. Dad and Mom said that if they come back to Thailand, this time they will teach and train the two by themselves.

I do not know when they'll be back but I heard that it would be soon.

"Passengers, please bring the windows and food trays up." The flight attendant walked up to tell me and Choco who was still talking. "Fifteen more minutes. The plane will land soon."

"Okay." I nodded and turned to slide the window all the way up. As for Choco, he kept the food tray. No more than fifteen minutes later we arrived safely at Krabi airport.

At first, I planned to rent a car from the airport but my eyes went to see a hotel staff holding a nameplate with Choco's and my name. When I turned to ask the person next to me if he had booked a hotel car to pick us up as well. Actually, traveling like this is good, comfortable, and you don't have to be tired. Because if I was the one who organized this trip, I would definitely take it on a minibus through the heat like hell to the hotel.

"When I see the sun, I want to sleep for a long time in my room." As soon as I got into the car, I moved my head to Choco's shoulder. "Please forgive me, my head hurts a lot."

"As much as you want." He reached out and rubbed my head with full force.

"It's a cold towel." The hotel driver delivered a cold towel to me and Choco. It's not a plastic bag cold cloth like the tour we took, but a fine cloth soaked in ice. Choco put that cloth over my head before gently spreading it onto my cheeks. At this minute, both I and he don't seem to care much about the surrounding environment.

"What is it?" I shook my head in response. "Then go to sleep. It's here, I'll wake you up."

"Not sleepy."

"Don't worry, rest your eyes. Look at the road and you'll get more headaches."

"Ah," I nodded, simply following the Choco's orders. Along the way, as I got in the car, what I felt was his thick hand stroking my head all the time. It conveys the warmth and feeling that is packed into me. I don't know if Choco knows but I absolutely love the way he acts like this to me.

"In ten minutes we will arrive at the hotel," the driver shouted to us both. I moved out of Choco's embrace and massaged my brows a few times before looking straight at the road leading into the city limits.

We chose to stay at the hotel in Ao Nang because it is the most urban and comfortable place. Plus, this place is quite far from Patong where my brother Hia'Chip lives.

Yes, I have no way to tell him that I came to Krabi. Who would let someone like Hia interrupt my and Choco's happiness?

"You can check-in at the counter. I'll carry the luggage for you." The service here was very good. It's worth the price that says it's a four-star hotel. In a hotel of this level, I don't have the wisdom to stay, it's 6,000 - 10,000 for one night, but because we come during the low season, the room rate is reduced by more than half. The service level still takes good care of customers as before.

Choco and I stayed at the panorama room from the usual price of seven thousand, now only less than three thousand baht per person. Of course, when visiting during the low season, what must be exchanged for it is the impression of playing in the sea. Because during this period the water is not as clear as during the high season, but it's not that bad.

"So tired." After checking in and entering the room, I almost immediately dropped onto the bed. My current state was lying in the middle of his arms and legs in a king-size bed.

"What's wrong?" Choco asked, turning to me.

"Okay, but it is too hot."

"It is only for three days. Think of the situation that we talked about at first for four days and three nights."

"I'll probably die first. I can't even imagine going diving tomorrow. The sun was so strong that I almost melted on the ground. What if you go out for ten minutes. My body might be crushed because it was burned." This time, I plan to travel to Krabi for only three days and two nights. Because after returning from Krabi, I was going to transfer to Chiang Mai that day. I saw that I had to go to visit my grandfather and grandmother in Chiang Mai.

I myself have already told them about this Krabi trip, if it's really confusing or urgent, it can be postponed to another day. But as you can see, people like Choco wouldn't easily let go of the opportunity they created with their own hands.

Choco sat on the bed before pressing a kiss on my lips. The sweetness from the tip of the tongue was inserted time and time again into my mouth. I moved my legs up and hugged the waist of the person who bends down to kiss.

"Very tempting asshole." He cursed at me and moved his lips to the nape of my neck. I gnawed until I felt a tingling sensation in my abdomen. Soon Choco slipped to kiss my big puffed cheek and got up from me.

"Ah..." I protested myself, thinking that Choco would do more. I have truly prepared my heart.

"Don't be afraid that you won't get it, Mel. Either way, you won't survive tonight..." Choco squeezed my cheek in frustration. "As for now.. rest. The heat from the sun still lingers on you."

"Then let's sleep together." I moved to the other side of the bed and patted the mattress next to it.

"I'm going to go get you some pills and food..."

"Don't go."

"Oh, why? Don't you have a headache?"

"No, now I just want you to lie next to me..." I begged to make Choco do what I wanted. He let out a small smile before walking to take off his jeans until only the boxers were left.

"Why are you always being cute to me?" He lay down next to me, pulling my waist closer to him.

"So cute, do you love me?"

"I love you so much," Choco said and pressed down several more kisses. Every time we kiss or touch each other, it becomes more and more special. Of course, I don't know if this special will decrease or increase in the future but if it decreases until there is nothing special left. The one thing that remains and will never fade or be cut off is our friendship.

"Let's talk more than about what we've been up to in the three years since we've been apart."

Many stories were conveyed through my mouth and his as well. "Actually, I've been a little frustrated at that time. I have a unique boyfriend. I think I forgot you, but when I met you at the faculty, I knew that I never really forgot."

The gap of more than three years of not meeting each other gives us many stories to tell. Choco tells stories at home. I can't tell the story of flirting with girls. We both share each other's memories to fill in the missing pieces.

"I was sad for a while but I came to think that people have their own path, whether father, mother, Chip, or even you. It's good to have Chel as a friend or I would be more lonely." A heavy kiss on my forehead as if comforting me again.

"Sorry." I knew that Choco was never comfortable with that he went to Chiang Mai and didn't tell me. Even though I stopped being angry with him a long time ago.

"It's okay, just now you're back."

"It's not just coming back but I'm going to stay for a long time as well."

"Keep it real." I turned to face the person lying next to me. Choco smiled before lifting one of his arms for me to move to lie on his chest. He used that hand to poke my cheek a few times.

"I'm serious. Where will I go with love like this?" I turned to chase after Choco's finger that still pricked my cheek. In the end, because of the annoyance, he pulled his hand to hold me and interlaced his five fingers with my hand.

The warmth that surrounds me now is the one thing in my life that I don't want to fade away.

"Choco..." I called Choco's name and slowly moved up to sit on his lap.

"What..." he responded and leaned against the head of the bed nicely before using his free hand to support me to sit on his lap better. "Hey Mel, what's wrong?" Choco asked me again. He must have seen me silent and staring at me without saying anything for a long time.

"I... love you."

"..."

"And I'm sure I love you as much as love me." I never told him my feelings. This is the first time I've told him that. Although I'm not sure if our love story will continue in the future, I always believe that more than ten years of friendship will induce and hold us back from being apart. Of course!

"What's wrong, why are your eyes red?" I asked him while pressing one hand on the Choco's cheek. He pursed his lips tightly as if condensing a feeling in it. "Choco..."

"I just..."

"..."

"I'm glad... you've never said you love me once."

"Never said it, it's not like I didn't feel it."

"I know, I know how you feel. It's just nice to hear it from your mouth." Interlocking hands were drawn to a gentle kiss on the back of it. Before Choco used that hand to pull my waist to move closer to him. As for me, when I didn't shake hands with him, I put both my hands up to hug his neck instead.

"Whenever you sit in this position, you always like to put your eyes on me." Well, when I sit in this position, I will look taller than him.

"Guna's Story."

(T/N: What? I don't understand it.)

"But I like you to sit like this. When you move around, it's a little cool."

"Shit" cursing at him, the person in front of me didn't feel much shaken to the core of his skull. Because he still gives me a cunning smile like this is a sign that I won't be above him for a long time.

"I love you, Mel. I love... until I don't know how to love."

"That's much."

"It's like this."

"Can my love be measured? I wonder how big it is."

"Well... as much as the sky equal to family equal to father and mother... And it's equal to everything I love the most..." I put my forehead on his forehead. The two hands that used to hug Choco's shoulder lifted up to support his cheeks in front of me and I gently spread my thumb.

"You don't have to love as much as you told me and I was shocked. Just the same as you used to love me is enough." Love for me doesn't have to be as great as the sky. Just let it remain and not diminish from the feelings that we once gave each other.

"Noticed... my boyfriend" The smile that was sent to me is still sincere and I can feel the love that has increased.

My love for Choco is starting as a non-friend fashion but it's more than that. After this, we both have to gradually support each other. Good or bad, we need to help each other. Choco and I were young. Counting the age now, it's not even twenty years old. Therefore, on the way from here to the future, there may be wounds and spikes that pierce us and we become discouraged or disappointed. But I believe we can get through it. Or if it's so difficult that the status quo is here to collapse? One thing that will be stable and will last forever is my friendship with Choco.

It will stay with us no matter what...
