*************************************************************************

Being the head hazer was exhausting. Kongpob wondered how Arthit managed to do it with Kongpob bothering him all the time. Atleast he didn't have a Kongpob ruining his plans. He felt guilty. He was young and hot headed. And the fact that he had a developing crush on Arthit at the time only made his behavior even worse.

It was their third meeting. Kongpob had changed the hazing in a completely different manner. More people showed up. His eyes were scanning the freshman when he saw one girl who was yet to receive a cheer shirt looking at him with wonder. This was something that often happened with him. Most of the freshman seemed to have come just to look at him. He was aware of it. He didn't care what the reason was as long as they learned something at the end of the day.

But this particular girl reminded him of someone. The skin tone, the smile, the dimples. She looked like the female doppelgänger of Arthit. After noticing Kongpob's gaze on her she blushed to a deeper shade of red and looked at the floor.

Kongpob himself felt his ears go red. It was quite inappropriate of him to be staring at a freshman for many reasons. The shame of making the girl blush had made him uncomfortable.But he couldn't help himself. The girl even blushed like Arthit! Since his graduation Arthit had been quite busy with his new job. Kongpob was busy with university so the time they spent together was dangerously low.

The rest of the hazers were teaching the freshman the faculty anthem when Aim leaned into him and whispered
" Ai Kong, doesn't that girl at the left corner of the second row look like P' Arthit? I actually thought it was P' Arthit with long hair "

So it wasn't just his imagination. He missed Arthit every passing second that he had thought maybe his eyes were playing a trick on him.

They had been dating for quite a long time. But their relationship was moving in an extremely low pace. Arthit was never comfortable with public displays of affection. Then again he was not very comfortable with any display of affection. True they kissed a lot. And sometimes there were heated moments when Kongpob thought that it would escalate into something more. But Arthit always managed to get out of the situation. Kongpob didn't want to force himself on Arthit. He wondered if him being a man did bother Arthit to some extent. If the fact that they had the same "equipment " disgusted Arthit and hence didn't want Kongpob's hands anywhere near it.

Now they hardly spend any time together. Their only means of communication was through the phone or sometimes video calls. Kongpob hated to admit it but he was desperate.He wanted to see some progress in their relationship. After all he was a man with needs. It wasn't a subject he could suddenly bring up in a conversation. But the most important question yet was didn't Arthit want him the same way? Wasn't Arthit attracted to him that way?

Aim waved his hand infront of Kongpob's face

" Kong! What are you dreaming about? The meeting is about to finish. Are you going to ask them about the signatures? "

Kongpob nodded at Aim and addressed the freshman.

" I hope you all will have your signature books ready by next week. But I would also like to know why non of you had asked for my signature. Don't you want to know me as your senior? Anyway that is all for today. You are dismissed "

He was gathering his things when he heard a small voice behind him.

" sawadee kha P' Kongpob "

He turned to find himself face to face with female Arthit. He must miss Arthit quite a lot because the presence of this girl was making him uneasy.

She smiled politely making the dimples on her face quite visible and with a slight blush.

She presented him with the book provided for the signatures.

" can I have your signature? "

" sure Nong. What is your name? "

" Chanpen "

[ Chanpen - full moon ]

Kongpob gulped. What were the odds of her having the name of the counterpart of the sun.

" do you have a nickname? "

" everyone calls me Pen "

" here you go N' Pen . Nice to meet you "

" Thank you very much P' " she did a Wai and left.

Aim was watching him in disbelief.

" why did you sign her book without a forfeit Kong ? Don't tell me it's because she looks like P' Arthit! You are being unfair "

Kongpob shrugged. He didn't know what had gotten into him either.

" I'm tired. I didn't want to bother. Let's go now. We still have to make plans for tomorrow's meeting "

His phone beeped right then. It was a text from Arthit

The sun
I will be coming to see you tonight. There is something I have to tell you.

What could it possibly be that Arthit had to tell him in person? Whatever it was he was glad he would be seeing Arthit.

*********

The company he was working for was sending him abroad on a training program for four months. Arthit was annoyed beyond words. He knew it was a great opportunity for him to get the exposure. And he had landed the chance which was usually given to employees who had been working for longer than him was due to his performance.

But four months was a long time. He won't be able to see Kongpob. Even now they hardly had time for eachother. But atleast they were in the same time zone and he could actually visit Kongpob whenever he wanted. He had always been a shy person when it came to romance. Their relationship was still at the primary level. He was happy with that. Kongpob didn't seem to mind their lack of intimacy either. He did want their relationship to grow. But he didn't know how to take the initiative.

Even when Kongpob took matters to his hands Arthit always backed away when things got heated. He wasn't sure what was stopping him. Kongpob was indeed a very sexy man. Even with all the work, he managed to maintain well defined muscles. Arthit on the other hand still had a thin layer of baby fat around his belly . He just didn't have the time to work on his physic. Seeing Kongpob shirtless often made him feel insecure about himself. What if Kongpob didn't find him physically attractive? This thought always made him back away whenever Kongpob made a move on him.

There had been days when Arthit really wished Kongpob did force himself on him. He needed Kongpob to break that barrier. But Kongpob was too much of a gentleman to let that happen. Now it was too late. They didn't have the time for any of that. They might as well be acquaintances and not lovers at this point.

He has to leave the country for four months. He has to break the news to Kongpob. He missed the days he could just look at Kongpob from his window. But they weren't children anymore. Atleast he wasn't. He was an adult now. He had responsibilities. Life wasn't as easy as they say on movies.

But despite everything their relationship was still strong wasn't it? He had no reason to worry at all.
