Unforgotten Night [Kom X baiboon] Eng Translation

Chapter 4

"Why are you asking like that?" Kom asks immediately.

"Well, Baiboon wants to know whether having a male lover is the same as having a female lover, Phi," Baiboon asks naively. Kom sighs in relief.

"Phi never had a male lover, so I wouldn't know if they're the same or not," Kom replies.

"Then does that mean Phi Kom used to have a female lover?" Baiboon asks again, causing Kom to rub his face because he has no idea how to explain things to Baiboon.

"Phi never had any lover, be it male or female. Who would be interested in person like me?" Kom replies.

"Why wouldn't there be anyone, Phi? Baiboon thinks Phi is a very good person. Also big and strong," Baiboon says not just to please Kom. It's what he feels inside.

Kom stares at the young boy with a bright smile. Everything that the boy said just now, be it a naive remark or a candid question, makes Kom feel better somehow.

"Do you like big guys?" Kom asks teasingly.

"Yes!" Baiboon immediately replies with a smile, causing Kom's heart to beat faster. "Baiboon likes big guys because they're strong enough to protect themselves. Unlike Baiboon who is so small and can't fight anyone," Baiboon continues in a soft voice.

Kom breathes a sigh of relief, for having known Baiboon's preference. But he also feels strangely sad.

"Who would you fight with? Do you like making trouble?" Kom asks again. Baiboon shakes his head.

"Baiboon doesn't like to make trouble, Phi. but in the old school, Baiboon is often bullied. if Baiboon was bigger, the others wouldn't dare to bully," the young boy says.

Kom looks at Baiboon thoughtfully. Given Baiboon's smaller frame, it isn't surprising to hear that he was bullied by bigger guys. Even Kom thinks it would be fun to tease the young boy until he cries.

Realization!!!

Kom suddenly wants to punch himself in the face for even thinking about teasing Baiboon until he cries.

'Ai Kom, you bastard! How can you even think of teasing Baiboon in the pitiful state?' Kom mentally admonishes himself, before raising his hand to caress Baiboon's head.

"Baiboon, if anyone bullies you at the new school, tell Phi right away, okay. Don't even think of hiding it. Tell me and I'll go deal with them, myself," Kom tells Baiboon seriously.

"And how will Phi deal with them, huh?" the young boy asks.

"That's up to me. Just... if anyone bullies you, tell me right away. Then you'll know how I'll deal with them," Kom replies.

"Okay, Phi" the little boy agrees just as he remembers something. "Uh, right! I forgot I've to go help grandma set the table for Khun Kamol and Phi Kim."

"Then let's go together," Kom replies before leading the Baiboon towards the main house. As soon as they get into the kitchen, Baiboon sees Mhai looking at him disapprovingly. Kom notices it too, but he says nothing about it.

"Baiboon, take the food the table. Do it properly," Aunt Nee orders her grandson, who immediately goes to do as he's told.

"Aww, Baiboon, did you come to help your grandma set the table?" Kamol asks as he walks into the dining room to find Baiboon setting the table for dinner.

"Yes, Sir" replies the young boy.

"Baiboon, come have lunch with me," Kim invites the young boy.

"Is that alright, Phi? Baiboon thinks it's better to eat with Grandma in the kitchen," replies the young boy thoughtfully.
