Arthit was startled out of his wits when he heard some shuffling of shoes.
It was late at night, and Arthit was already scared to begin with. And This only made him more alarmed.
He stayed in his office till late to complete a deadline. And it was 11:30pm.
The first thing that came to his mind was- a ghost? Or even worse- a mobster? What if he spots him and take his money? Or even worse, murder him after that?
There were two ways to deal with this situation, which divided people into two groups.
First, ignore it and run away
Second, go there and see it for themselves to satisfy their curiosity.
And apparently, Arthit belonged to the second one, so as silently as he could, he made his way to the park, from where the sound was coming.
Stealthily walking and hiding behind objects, Arthit himself felt like a thief.
With adrenaline pumping in his blood and with great anticipation, he went closer and hid behind a tree.
And what he saw, made him confused. A boy moving around in rythm. Either he was mentally unstable or really fearless to be out at this hour. In either case, he was weird.
Arthit decided to stay around a bit to observe him. And upon looking closer, he recognised him. He was a kid from his own apartment building, living on the first floor. Kind of nerdy and unsocial.
Arthit saw him frequently but never interacted. What was his name again? Kong...Kongpob!!
Now he caught his interest all the more. This Kongpob was so different from the usual Kongpob.
There was no sound, except for the rustling of leaves and occasional chirping of crickets.
Then Arthit finally realised, the guy was dancing to the tune of headphones plugged in.
Arthit smiled, the dude was good.
He checked the time-12pm. Without even him realising, half an hour already passed. He was so immersed in watching.
Even though, he wanted to stay and watch, he made his way home. He did have to attend the office the next day.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Fidgeting Arthit made his way to the park. It was 12pm.
He arrived home at a good time, and even went to bed at 10pm. But he couldn't sleep. He was curious about that boy.
Will he be there? Will he be dancing today too? Finally he got up and made his way to the park.
Arthit smiled. He was there. Resuming his previous position he watched.
Is this okay? Isn't this creepy? Should he make his presence known? What are the chances he'll still continue after knowing he had a spectator. He asked those questions to himself.
Call him selfish or him being creepy, but Arthit wanted to watch more of him.
Particularly now. today was a full moon, and it's light was brightening up the place with a milky glow.
And that boy, dancing in a slow rythm, in his own world, looked erthreal and beautiful.
Arthit sighed dreamily. He looked like a dream.
-----------------------------------------------------------
From that time onwards, Arthit started paying more attention to him. Kongpob left the building at the same time as Arthit. And judging by his uniform, he was an engineering student.
