Together With Me (Thai Novel Fan Translation)

Chapter 14B

Knock's POV

I want to die. I hadn't realized what a complete moron I really was until today. When I was a kid, I'd always thought I was pretty smart. I'm not sure what happened, because it's now totally obvious the space inside my skull where my brain is supposed to be is either empty or just full of rotting garbage.

Ever since that day when Korn and I fought, he's completed ghosted me. He wouldn't answer my phone calls, or come down when I've waited for him at his condo. He even told the security guard there that I'm a fucking stalker! Now I'm was strictly banned from even getting in the building's front door.

I tried so hard to explain to the security guard that he and I have been friends since we were kids; we'd just had a fight recently and he was mad at me right now. Look, which part of this handsome guy looks like a stalker to you?

The guard said he believed me, but what could he do? He had to listen to Korn, since he's the condo's owner.

In this anxious situation, I even tried asking Yiwha for help. But even she was unwilling to help me, saying that it was fine to let Korn stay mad, that he needed to get his temper under control anyway. If I were to beg her, the only thing she would offer to do is to beat up Plern Pleng. And I will not beg her!!

But the look in Korn's eyes, the words he'd said, were gnawing at my heart at every moment. It's still replaying on a loop in my mind even now. I feel like I can't even breathe anymore. His face was devoid of emotion, cold and distant. But the look in his eyes had clearly shown me his pain; like I had sliced open his skin with a razor just to see if he would bleed. I was stunned at that moment to realize how much I'd hurt him, but my legs were too heavy to move; I could only watch Korn turn to leave and disappear from my sight.

Why didn't I chase after him? If I had, we might have made up by now!

Uuugh! Why am I so fucking stupid!?

"Knock!"

I was shaken out of my thoughts by a sudden yell in my ear. Only then did I remember that I was not sitting alone, there was a girl sitting beside me. She was holding my hand, and she was the reason why Korn and I had fought; she's the girl that I'm together with to help quiet the conflict in my heart; she is Plern Pleng.

Yeah... She's holding my hand... But I had almost forgotten that she existed.

"Knock, you weren't even listening to me. Was it because you're still upset with me about before?" Her pretty face looked dejected as she struggled to keep my attention.

"Sorry Pleng..." My weak apology was clearly of no comfort, as she remained silent.

"You're disappointed in me, right?" I continued, smiling at her, "In regards to you having affair with that other guy, I'm not angry with you."

"Then, then how about you and that guy, Korn..." She pursed her lips after her words trailed off.

"Since you've said you're telling the truth, then it must indeed have been him who told you what happened. Then just as he said, we had sex that night when we were drunk... If you can't forgive me, I have nothing to say, because it wasn't something I intended to happen."

"I do forgive you! I just don't wanna lose you." She held my hand even tighter, at that moment, I saw a strange gleam shining from her eyes. I withdrew my hand slowly. We were at the small café downstairs from my condo; we had originally planned to go somewhere else, but Pleng said she wanted to meet me here.

"Let's go home, I'll send you." I stood up and paid the bill, then walked out of the café first, leaving her to follow after me.

She caught up with me and took hold of my arm; I paused and turned to look at her pretty face in confusion.
