Non took a taxi back to the condo, when he got there and opened the door, he found his best friend drinking beer on the couch in the middle of the living room. From the look of him, it seemed like he had been sitting there ever since Non had left with Kris. “You're not going to get up, right ? " Non told him after sitting next to him on the big sofa.
“I don't know where to go. I have a friend, but it's like I don't have one" Tar said before raising a can of beer to drink.
Non smiled slightly for a moment before taking the can of beer from Tar's hands to drink from it “You've grown like a buffalo idiot ... If you want to go somewhere Go by yourself, for God's sake.” said Doctor Non, refusing to return the can of beer to the other man.
“Then why did you come back so early? Something went wrong ? I thought you 'd be back in the morning " Tar asked with surprise .
“No " after Non answered , Tar noticed that something was not right when he saw the other 's eyes .
Non and Tar have been friends for many years and just by looking into Non's eyes, Tar knew that the other person was worried about something.
“What happened while you were gone ? "
“Fuck ... Damn ... !! I made a mistake again " ... Non said , before picking up the beer to take another drink .
“Hey , drop that. If you keep drinking like this I 'll run out of the drinks. Give me back my beer , you bastard " Tar snatched his own can of beer before Non drank it completely and added : “What happened ? "
“I had sex with him " after saying that there was a sudden silence , neither of them said anything . “Shit ... Don't tell me that ... Don't tell me you went ..."
“Aishhh ...! Fuck, fuck ...! I'm so frustrated with myself."
“You're a fucking idiot. Every time you drink the same thing happens."
Both men have been friends for a long time and that is why Tar knows Non's habits very well. He knows that his friend likes to have a lot of sex in a superlative degree when he is drunk and that is why Non does not drink alcohol frequently. He usually gets very excited he just wants to have sex and more sex, although that doesn't mean that he chooses to take anyone, because if he doesn't like him, no matter when the others want, he won't accept it.
“So what are you going to do now ? Is there a chance to be again ? Since you broke up with him you 've never been in a serious relationship again " Tar asked . He had always known about his friends.
“If he remembers everything, he will hate me. He will suffer because of me again"

Non is the handsome boy and sexiest in school. He is polite, intelligent, but he is somewhat introverted and quiet. He is currently in the 6th grade, the last grade of pre-university education and has already passed the entrance exam for medicine in 3 universities, he has achieved it because he is a person who has studied a lot. Although when it comes time to have fun, he relaxes like any other teenager. One day, Non was reading a book under a tree near the basketball court. There was a young man playing with his friends. At that moment, the basketball they were playing with accidentally ended up where Non was sitting. So he looked up from the pile of books to see a tall, handsome young man in a red basketball uniform walking towards him. As he approached, the boy pointed behind Non, to where the ball was. He looked to the spot and picked up the ball before throwing it to the young man. The other caught it before smiling and politely thanking him. At first Non didn't pay much attention to him, but after a while, he started seeing him more regularly. He later found out that the basketball player's name was Kris. A boy who was in 5th grade. Since then and regardless of the where Non went , in each of those places : to the bathroom , to the infirmary , to the cafeteria , even outside of school, he always ran for a chance to meet him . Every time they met they greeted each other and smiled, and they began to get closer to each other. Kris liked to go to Non for tutoring and homework help. - END MEMORIES -

Min sat quietly after waking up. At first, he planned to visit his mother in the hospital, but his body still hurt so much that he decided not to go anywhere. Min kept thinking about what had happened. Since then he hadn't seen Non again.
“I have to calm down. I can't feel anything. I can't" he said to himself before mustering all his strength to get up. This time his body ached, but the pain was bearable. The youngest left the bedroom to find Phon sitting in the living room and watching television. When the attendant heard him, he turned around and asked, “Are you hungry?”
“I'm hungry” Min answered as he kept walking to the dining room table.
“Let me help you . "
At first , Min did not understand what Phon was really referring to , but then he was surprised when the other person put his arms around him and held him until they reached the dining room table .
“Thank you . "
“Eat first. So you can take the medicine " said Phon who had already prepared both beforehand . “Would you like to sit down to eat with me, P'Phon?" Min invited him because he didn't want to eat alone and besides, the young man thought that Phon probably hadn't eaten anything either.
“Ok" Phon sat on the opposite side before they began to eat in silence. In fact , this was not the first time they ate together because Min always invited him to join him as a friend .
“Is he coming today ? " Min asked after eating for a while . ,
,Mr. Non probably won't come." After hearing the answer, the young man's face grew sad again.
Phon saw him, but he couldn't say anything; so he changed the subject.
“When is the operation for your mother ? "
“Next week, they told me that first they must evaluate very well the condition of her body to face the surgery . "
“I will tell Mr. Non before. Tomorrow I will take you to see the car. Non ordered it. "
Actually , the boss had already told Phon for several days , but since Phon noticed that Min 's body was still not well , he had decided to wait a bit before going to pick out the car for the youngest .
“Ok…"

After Non left, Kris sat on the couch until dawn. All the while a thought rang in his head: ‘Why is Non such a cold person?’
If what my friends said is true , then in this Period after what happened last night, things between us should be working better. But then: Why is the doctor still acting so cold? ' Kris thought in disbelief .
.... Another scene
Kris drove to Cho's tattoo shop. Once in the place, the young man entered making a face as if he were a person who was about to die. Cho, who had just opened the store, was sitting down cleaning his work equipment. When Cho turned around and saw Kris, he was really shocked
'Why did he come so early? 'Chris gave his friend a small nod in greeting before walking in and collapsing on the sofa across from him.
“What 's wrong with you ? By God You look like someone who has been on the verge of death " Cho was worried , because the last time he had seen his friend in those conditions was when the P'Try Affair was.
“Sort of " Kris said before closing his eyes and resting his head on the back of the couch. Cho put down the equipment he was cleaning, took off his gloves and walked over to his friend sitting next to him and asked,
“What's wrong?”
“He used me and then he left” Kris said with closed eyes.
“Huh? You" Cho turned around looking in disbelief.
“Ah... Last night was good and hot."
“You were going to a doctor's appointment. Oh no, Kris, Don't tell me it was with Non Huh?” …Cho's eyes widened when he realized who Kris was talking about.
“Oh ... what kind of person can be so cold ? "
“What are you going to do next ? Did you remember anything ? " Cho asked .
“No ... I couldn't remember anything."
“It's a shame you don't remember that past," Cho said ruefully.
“Did you remember the wrong person? Maybe that person is not the doctor. "
“No ! ... I remember well . How could I forget a person as handsome as him ? So what are you going to do now ? " Cho asked .
“I do not know ... Shit ... I 'm so fucking frustrated ! ... I just wanted to hang out and have fun , but right now I can not even laugh . "
“How do you feel now ? " Cho asked seriously .
“At first, I was only interested because he looked like P'Try, but when I talked to him he seemed like someone interesting and that made me want to get to know him more. But when he did this with me, I felt a little bad. Now I just want to get him back to know how cold he can be"... Kris widened his eyes before sitting down and look at his friend for opinions.
“If you like him, flirt. But if it 's going to hurt you , I think it 's best that you stop looking for answers , okay ? "... Cho warned.
“I don't think that's enough. I still want to know more. "
“You said you wanted him back . "
“I can not get him back like this . " Kris was just thinking about making the other person like him and making the other want to get to know him too .
“So you 'll just try . Well, for this, the first thing you should know is how the doctor behaves. To know it and for him to notice it, you will make him feel more curious about each other. "
“Yes ... But first I have to know something ... Why did we break up ? " ... Kris said seriously before getting up to leave .
“What the hell is wrong with you ... ? You come when you feel like it and you leave like this... Are you really leaving? "...Cho muttered walking behind him.

Two young doctors dressed in scrubs entered the hospital administration building. This morning was Doctor Tar's first day on the job and Non had volunteered to take him , because in the morning he did not have any patients scheduled .
The two entered Dr. Danuwet's office, but as soon as they entered, they came out again.
“The best ... Yes ... Of course " ... Non spoke cheekily to his friend , adding : “You have just arrived and you already have a surgery assigned " Doctor Non joked , since his best friend had just arrive and was already receiving an important case. In addition , another surgery had been scheduled for the next week .
“Your father is ... so brutal " ... Doctor Tar muttered .
“Oh...wait for me to tell him"... Doctor Non made a move to go back inside, but before he could leave Tar tugged at him.
“Oh... I don't know what you're saying, have mercy on me!! I was just kidding." Tar said with indifference.
“By the way... Don't forget that tonight my mother has invited you to eat at home, ok? " ... Non reminded his best friend .
“Well , I 'll go with you " said Dr. Tar .
Well , he has not bought a car yet , so to go anywhere he has to go to Non first .

The first day of working life was easy . Not many things happened Dr. Tar was up all night reading the medical records of the patients he would be responsible for in the next few days .
..... Another scene
At 6 pm, Doctor Non drove to his parents' house and after getting out of the car, both friends entered the house. Non's mother already had dinner ready. His father had come home earlier than usual today, probably because his mother had asked him to.
'I’m sure he has something planned today,' Mor Non thought intuitively.
“Eat a lot , son " Non’s mother said to Tar after putting the food on the young man 's plate . Non, who was sitting next to her, could only look at him with a disgusted face, as he felt like a rotten dog. “Mom, you don't have to worry about him. This guy is bigger than me " Non said to his mother. After hearing Non's harsh voice, his mother turned to serve her son a little while she told him:
“You also eat a lot , my son. "
“Thank you " said Non and this time she smiled broadly .
“Non ... My son ... How old are you now ? "
'There it is... It's started' .. Non thought to himself before raising his head to meet his father’s eyes . Before he could say anything else,
“Non ... You should be able to find a bride to engage and marry," his father’s formidable voice said.
“I 'm not ready , father " Non refused almost immediately .
“How can you not be ready? I've made an appointment for you" his father's voice was monotonous. “Dad , please . Don 't push me now " Non also spoke in a serious tone , while Tar sat silently eating and making no comment .
“Well ... At least go and take a look. Whether you like it or not ... I won't force you" his father spoke slowly, as if to say that he had to do this.
“Ok" Non had to reply lazily, probably because he had never offended his father before.
