SOTUS: Hand over heart

Chapter fifteen

The silence between them was awkward. Kongpob had brought Chanpen to a fairly decent restaurant. When she had told him she couldn't afford a fancy meal it did make him feel bad. He had told Chanpen he couldn't love her. But he wasn't even being a friend to her let alone a "boyfriend "

Turns out Pen doesn't like spicy food either. He remembered how Arthit called him a prince for not being able to eat spicy food. How would he feel if he found out there were other people who doesn't like spicy food?

Kongpob felt a burn in his heart. Arthit.. nomatter what he thought about it always ended at Arthit. He was sat at a restaurant celebrating his "girlfriend's " birthday , the word girlfriend was making him choke on his food, and he was thinking about Arthit. He did have what it takes to be a cheater. Kongpob sighed loudly.

" P' Kongpob? "

" hmm? "

" do you hate me that much? "

Kongpob looked at her questioningly.

" why would I hate you? I'm the one to be blamed here "

Pen looked at her food sadly

" I'm sorry P' "

" what are you sorry for? "

" I... I just.. I have taken your smile away.. I am sorry.. it's not what I wanted "

" isn't it a bit too late to apologize for that Chanpen ? But you are right. I have been unfair to you. I will try to be better" for the first time since he agreed to be her boyfriend, he smiled at her.

" actually P' there is something that I... "

Kongpob didn't hear her. His eyes had widened in shock.

Arthit had entered the restaurant. And an older male he have never seen before had his arm around Arthit's shoulder. His heartbeat elevated. He held his fork and spoon tightly .

******

Arthit stopped on his tracks. He had spotted Kongpob. He could spot Kongpob from anywhere. There was another person with him. A girl.Seated with her back to the entrance. It seemed like they were on a date. Kongpob was smiling at her.

Arthit was burning inside. Somehow he had expected Kongpob to be just as miserable as he was. He admit it was him who had asked Kongpob not to repeat the mistake he had made with Arthit. But seeing Kongpob happily moved on made him feel like he was hit on the head hard with a blunt object. Had Kongpob meant any of the things he told him? Here Arthit couldn't even gulp down a porridge and Kongpob was out on dates. After cheating on him! He wanted to get out of here immediately.

" P' sharp!.. I don't want to go in.." he exclaimed grabbing his coworker away from Kongpob's sight.

" why? What's wrong? Why do you look so pale? "

" it's him..P' let's cancel for today. I want to go home "

" it's who?"

" Kongpob " Arthit spat bitterly. Even Kongpob's name sounded sour in his mouth

" your ex-boyfriend? Where? "

Arthit looked again unwillingly. Or maybe he wanted to torture himself even more .

" the third table in the right from the entrance "

His coworker had looked too

" the one with a girl? "

" yes "

" why are you running away? Did you do something wrong ? "

" No P' ! But I'd rather not go in "
