Inside the Maserati are completely quiet, there's only soft music that is played softly from the speaker. That's because the 2 gentlemen drop down from the car to enter the accommodation first. Prince that got asked to sleep at the guesthouse with them as the older are playing card games tonight and it's going to be fun and also doctor Kuafah is afraid of ghosts and he has to accompany him. If not...they have already booked 2 rooms and it's going to be a waste if they are going to squeeze together in one room.
Blah blah blah
At last, the thin figure have to give in. Plus, he have to drive home to get the clothes for staying overnight. Prince who's sitting at the passenger's seat, pursed his lips and looked at the doctor who is driving with one hand comfortably, with his other hand placed on his lap.
"Turn left Krab, right at the intersection"
"Hmm" The tall figure understood, turned the car into one of the alleys that is full of huge houses. Prince told him that his house is located at the end of the alley...which makes Kuafah think that this can't be called a house.
But he doesn't know what to call it. A mansion? Maybe, but it looks bigger than a mansion by a little. Perhaps it is because it's located in the middle of lush green lawn and beautiful garden around it.
As soon as a luxury European car passed through the automatic door of the house. Kuafah can't help but to look around. He can't help but to think that he wants to slap Mesa and JJ's mouth that says that he's a sugar baby. Sugar baby my ass, this can be called rich from the time he was a fetus.
"You can park here Krab"
"You grew up in this house?" Those sharp eyes look around the mansion that was decorated like modern. Painted white all over, but with some dark brown borders. No fountain in front, but there's a swimming pool in the back plus the best view.
"Nope, there is another house out of town. I grew up there" The doctor stopped exploring the place because it's really big until he's lazy to give comments about it. He follows the back of the thin figure who swings the key back and forth while complaining why his father has to take his car as he didn't want to drive this car.
He understands it well, the car is so outstanding to the point people stare at them whenever they go.
"I don't know if my mother will be here or not. I talked to her during the wedding in the afternoon. It looks like she's going to drop by this house for a while" The boy said, taking off his 2 to 3 thousand dollar shoes and putting them into his golden Versace shoe cabinet that Mesa might hug and cry for the design when he sees this cabinet.
And JJ might cry too because of all the branded shoes in the cabinet...looks like Gucci is one of Prince's favorite brands.
"Uhh...Those are not mine krab. I have only 2 pairs" Nong said while raising his hands up because he didn't want anyone to look at him like he's expensive. It started with his father and his mother who taught him ever since he was a kid that he needed to dress up well, it doesn't have to be expensive but if he wants to buy expensive stuff, he needs to use it regularly, it will be useless if just buys and keeps it.
Can't deny that Prince's family are well known in society (By a lot). Which is why whatever he does, the elders will keep their eyes on him. He have to behave and dress well...if not, he will get lectured.
"It doesn't matter, it's by your personal likings"
"But I'm not a spoiled kid krab"
"Hmm...I believe you" That voice tone made the person who's smaller than him pout. But Kuafah really believes him, he just wants to annoy him...If he's really a spoiled kid, he will not bring himself to have a difficult life at Omgoi. Wearing flip flops, walking up and down the mountain to teach the students and washing the pig cage everyday.
"Jaochai...You've gone to fetch Phi Phi already ka? Oh Sawadee Ja" The doctor raises up his hands to wai the person who just walked out from the kitchen. The lady in front must be younger than his mother by 5-6 years. She wore a purple handmade woven skirt with a beautiful pattern, simple white cotton clothes, tie a bun behind her back decorated with flowers and there's only one accessory which is a small diamond wristlet on her wrist.
Everything about this lady indicates that she's not an ordinary person.
Uhh...He meant that she's a higher class than normal people.
"Ratri, go and get some water for the guest"
"Ka, Jao Sroy" A maid who wore a traditional uniform and gave the feeling of being in the palace like in the movie, in the drama. It makes Kuafah think that the lady in front of him is extraordinary.
Hmm must be extraordinary
And the kid who's beside him wiggling his arms too.
"Calm down krab"
"You're the one who should be calming down"
"I'm scared that you might be shock"
"I mean it's shocking"
It's shocking
That his mother called him Jaochai, which Kuafah was able to put all the stories together by himself that Prince's nickname is Jaochai. Similar to his family that called Daonuea as Dao but Daonuea let others called him Nuea.
Same goes to Prince, let others call him Prince because Jaochai sounds a little too weird even though his looks are fucking suitable for this name. At first, he even thought that Nong must have been named Jaochai.
Uhh and it's true.
"Mother, I will be sleeping with Phi Phi in Omgoi na krab"
"Sure Ka, but you have to go to bed early na ka"
"Krab, I'll go and pack my things first. His name is Kuafah Na Krab"
"What a nice name"
"Sawadee Krab" Raised his hands to wai again before sitting on the sofa at the same time as Jao Sroy's gesture...he still doesn't know her name but he heard the maid called her Jao Sroy, so he called her that too. As he was about to receive water from the maid, he looked at the picture of Prince's family that are hanged on the way up the stairs.
Kuafah saw Nong turn his head back and look with his worried expression before sprinting up to the right side, which should be his bedroom...the living room of the mansion decorated with less furniture. Overall, the house is very minimal. But most of the belongings were Versace, Christian-Dior and other Italian brands.
Prince's father looks similar to Nong, referring to the facial structure, but most of the facial features are derived from his mother because his face looks sweet. If you look at him as handsome, he's really handsome, good looking, white skin, charming eyes, suitable facial features and thin body. But if you look at him as cute
Then it's freaking cute
(And definitely, Kuafah prefer the second choice)
Above all Family portraits of Nong, everyone were wearing something like a family badge on their chest, wearing authentic Lanna outfit and sitting in order of their age...The messy eyebrows of the doctor made the mother who was taking a sip of the flower tea laugh softly because looks like Jaochai did not tell anyone about this as usual.
Have to let his mother explain it to his friends all the time.
"Thipchak dynasty(ราชวงศ์ทิพย์จักร), is descendant of our family"
"...Krab?" He sipped the tea down his throat to clear his throat when the word dynasty hit his ears.
Imagine telling his 2 good friends about it, how stunned will they be?
Like to tease him and say that he's playing with fire, how is it now? This fire is so huge, fuck.
...Damn it, A'Fah
"Our family has the direct bloodline. Jaochai's father came from a large family from Lampang side while I'm from Chiangmai. The adults has given a royal surname that it used to be Na Chiangmai then changed to be a normal surname like normal person, just make yourself comfortable...think of me as Jaochai's mother normally ka"
"Jaochai?"
"He dislike his own nickname because he used to get teased during his kindergarten. Which is why I moved him to study international school. His foreigner friends don't speak Thai language that well, Nong then introduced himself as Prince from that day onwards" Laugh softly with her super-good manners to the point Kuafah can't get himself to be comfortable like what she said.
"How old are you? Older than N'Prince by how many years hmm?"
"Around 10 Krab"
"What's your occupation? You're not a celebrity right? Otherwise, I'll have to ask permission to take a picture with you"
"Nope, I'm a Doctor at hospital S krab"
"I'm relieved to hear that...please take care of Nong for me na ka"
That last sentence makes the person who listened to it be at ease. Although it's the normal sentence that a mother would say to entrust a Phi to take care of her own son. But that look of her eyes made him jump as if he knew what does take care of Nong means.
"What are you guys talking about krab" The person who just came down with his backpack asked excitedly before he got a peck on the cheeks from his mother. Looks like Jao Sroy has some business to attend to as well, which is why she looks like she's in a hurry, resulting in not having time to talk any further.
"Jaochai, I will not be in this house tomorrow. I will be at the huge house"
Kuafah wants to smack himself on his forehead with that sentence...
This house that he's standing at is not huge enough?
"I'm bringing Phi Phi on a trip tomorrow Krab"
"Drive safely na ka. If Jaochai does not want to drive your father's car, you can take mine instead" She said when they came out of the house and of course, she's holding both Kuafah and her own son's hands while walking.
The doctor looked at the car that the mother asked to use if her son didn't want to drive his father's Maserati uhhh...Audi, it looks a little less luxurious but still looks expensive.
"I'll take mother's car krab" Nong said softly, he's been asking for his car like a whiny kid. The doctor then squeezed Nong's cheeks in front of his mother to make him stop whining. Prince then gives him a death glare and gives the audi car key that he received from his mother to Kuafah because his mother whispered to him and told him it's safer to let Phi drive.
Who's from Chiang Mai now? Why does someone from Bangkok have to be the one driving?
"Drive safely na ka. Have a fun trip. If you need anything, you can always tell me"
"Thank you krab"
"Let's find a time to have a meal together with me and father na ka, Kuafah"
"Krab Mother" Prince's face got heated up because the person beside him called his mother as his own. Which, of course, he had already won his mother's heart because she likes a man who was elegant and also able to guide her son for not going out of the line.
Plus, the doctor are so handsome like this.
Kuafah raises his hands and wai Jao Sroy Kai Mook one more time, carrying Nong's backpack walking to the white Audi. Leaving the mother and son have their own private conversation while he goes and starts the car engine.
"(Thai northern dialect) N'Jaochai, the doctor is so handsome"
"(Thai northern dialect) Mother, I'm more handsome"
"(Thai Northern dialect) N'Jaochai, you've grown up. It's not good to lie to yourself"
"(Thai northern dialect) I'm going to be angry at mother na krab!"
"(Thai northern dialect) Don't say that, Drive safety na ka. Before going back to Omgoi, don't forget to drop by and see me and the huge house"
Prince nodded, gave a peck on his mother's cheek one more time before going into the car, put in his seatbelt and the car drove out from the mansion slowly. The song best part by Daniel Caesar played from the speaker, made the person who loves it so much sing along with the nice accent.
"Jaochai"
"..."
The prickly lips that were about to open another mouthful of words, it made him really miss the first day that they talked.
'P R I N CE read as Prince'
'Jaochai...Or your real name is Jaochai?'
'No'
'Is your name Jaochai?'
'I said no!'
At that time he admits that he's shocked. As if he knew that his real name was Jaochai. He has been introducing himself to others as Prince. That is because his friends in Thailand school like to tease him but when he's in international school, his foreigner friends can't speak Thai. Plus, the word Jaochai is so hard to pronounce. Which makes him named Prince from that day onwards.
But what's funny is that, although he has been introducing himself as Prince, his friends from his high school and college have been calling him Jaochai because they want to annoy him and will say that his looks was a give away. He also want to reply him, 'Yea, my name is actually Jaochai'
"What a cute name"
"Don't call me that Krab. Call me Prince"
"At Chiangmai your mother calls you Jaochai. In Bangkok friends call you Prince...?"
"It's not like that, why do you have to bully me?" Sulk because he doesn't like people to tease his name. It was like a crux in Arin's mind. Chaophiwat since childhood.
"I didn't bully you. It's really cute"
"But I didn't want to be cute"
"I can't call you Jaochai?"
"...You can, but only when we both are alone" Kuafah smiles in satisfaction of his words that are much cuter than the nickname of this kid. The big hand reached out to pat Nong's head that was sitting with a frown.
Who doesn't like their own nickname?
"Who else knows that your nickname is Jaochai?"
"My friends in Chiangmai but very few of them knew about it and you"
"I accidentally became someone special" Point at himself and then smile annoyingly making Prince roll his eyes.
Give up with this doctor, really
Actually he's been special for a long time but he will not say because he might get more full of himself than before.
"Do you want to drop by somewhere? Good view is not far from the accommodation"
"I've heard that the atmosphere is good...let's go get something to eat so we can sleep well" That something to eat that he mentioned definitely includes alcohol. But they can't stay for long because P'Mesa and P'JJ must be sulking that they leave them alone at the guesthouse. But at Take a nap there are a lot of foreigners. They must be happy because there are a lot of beautiful girls.
Prince continues to tell the doctor directions, having conversations with him until he smiles and laughs many times. Can't deny that the person driving the car calmly right now at this moment, it's truly his comfort zone.
Prince likes someone who's older, that's something that he has never said before. Referring to the personality and the lifestyle because he's a kid and likes to go out of the line often, he then needs someone who can guide him. Someone that makes him feel comfortable, someone who can protect and ready to grow together. That's the main reason that there's someone who's the same age comes and chases him, he will pass all of them.
It might have some special cases where he accepts someone of his same age. But someone younger than him, he will choose to pass.
Audi parked successfully at the parking lot, which is further from the bar that is extremely crowded. Today is Friday, which is the reason why there's a lot of people. Prince looks at someone who's near and walking in front of him, looking left and right to lead him across the road...then the huge hand reaches out to grab onto his hand before crossing together.
The student's Teacher Pin noticed that all eyes in the place are fixed on the Doctor. Emphasize again that it is all eyes because the celebrity aura of Kuafah is spreading everywhere, although he is not a celebrity. Plus he's dressing up like a high school student who is crazy about branded stuff. Most importantly, he's wearing bergen shoes.
It can be called dressing up really well to irritate people.
"Table for 2 Krab. Can I have a corner where there are not many people?" He told the employee calmly but Prince saw the troubled face on that employee's face, with his eyes looking at Kuafah's hands that were intertwined with his. Prince could only smile dryly, he didn't know what to do because he was being watched from all directions.
"He's so handsome"
"Like a celebrity right?"
"He's so hot, why does he look seductive even though he's just wearing a hoodie and pants?" Girls with less clothing said along their way to their seats, which are located outside near the river. Prince did not have a chance to sit down, his wrist got grabbed by someone from behind.
Those familiar faces and eyes made the small figure widen his eyes.
"Cere..."
"Jaochai, since when did you came back?"
"..."
The nickname that the other party called, though it's not that loud but the person who's interested in everything of the Voluntary Teacher heard it. The tall figure couldn't help but to take a look at that tall boy that is in his casual shirt but looks good.
Those eyes that the boy looks at Prince are too profound than a normal friend...there isn't a need to guess
That he's the teacher's ex
