Chapter 10 : Nong  (Mark's side)

After Captain announced his relationship with White. Mark wasn't angry at first, he figured this is just a tease he plays for his fanclub. But when he read White's and even his fanclub replied pledging support for the couple, Mark began to question himself. /P'Captain, what about me?/

The next day, Mark after swimming practice, as usual Mark will be the one handing Captain his towel and his drinking water.

Mark muster his courage and ask
"P'Captain, do-do you l-love me?"  Mark said hoping to get a positive answer

"Of course I love you Nong.." as Captain ruffles his hair, and he place the towel and water bottle and jump back into the pool

"C'Mon now Mark back to practice with your senior partner"  Coach Mao said whistling abd directing Mark to join Captain.

For swimming training , Each junior will have a senior partner to help them train. The ones selected will qualify to represent their school in any swimming competition. currently Captain is the MVP swimmer, he lead the university to gain victory from the previous games.

Mark has the potential to be the next Captain. Coaches sees the talent he has. All they need to do is polish his skills therefore he is teamed with Captain as his senior training partner.

After swimming practice ended, Mark went back to the locker room with his friends.

"eh? What was that?"  Title asked. Lifting his bag to his shoulder.

"What? What?"  Perth asked looking at Mark giving them a shy smile

"Hey, what is this rumor I heard that P'Captain is in a relationship with P'White?"  Asked Mean packing up his clothes into his duffle bag.

"It is just a rumor, besides P'Captain said he loves me, so obviously it is just an act they do to gain more members for their fanclub"  Mark asks confidently

Then they heard 'Wows'  and 'Woos' outside the pool area. All four of them ran outside and saw a couple of seniors and coaches talking to Captain, and a guy with his arm on Captain's bare shoulder

"That's P'White..." said Perth
"Ohho....  it seems like they really are in love"  saya Title without taking any regards to Mark's feelings.

Mark cringe /he said he love me.. /

"Mehhh, look there, that's a match made in heaven. Unlike you and Earth Tle, it feels like the universe is playing a joke on us hahaha" Perth said earning a hard hit on his head.

"Ouch... damn.. Tle, umm.. Mark, don't you agree, P'White and P'Captain looks good together?"  Perth said looking at Mark. Mark didn't react, he was dead concentrating on White and Captain.

"Ouchh... what now?" Perth said rubbing his back head. It was Mean who hit him this time.

"Ai'Mark, looks like you have a competition.." Mean hit Title too.

Perth and Title didn't know, he can't blame them if what they say really hurt Mark. Mark doesn't want them to know that he has a feeling for his senior partner.

"ahhhhh...P'White , He is out of my league, Just like P'Captain, P'White is also a champ. Muay Thai, badminton and a uni model, plus he is rich as hell. No wonder every boys envy him"  Said Title.

"You can't  even court Earth properly, how do you expect to get P'White? Dream on Tle"  Perth teases Title

By now Mark's confidence sank, /Why did you lie to me? P'Captain /
