Together With Me (Thai Novel Fan Translation)

Special Edition Chapter Part A

Editor's Note: This is kind of a weird stand alone chapter, and is a major segue from the tone and topic of the previous chapter; enough so that it almost gave me whiplash. Just take it as it is, and I look forward watching you guys try to guess what's going on in the comments. Part B will be up on Tuesday, as always!

Knock's POV

"Aw, damn it Knock, I forgot my sketchpad in Building B! Go get it for me, will you? I'm in the middle of this painting for Faculty of Multimedia. I can't go now, my hands are covered in paint."

"Damn, you're such a troublemaker. Why didn't you check before hand since you knew you needed to be here to do this painting? And you know how freaking far it is! Besides, it seems like it's going to start raining soon, damn it!"

"Can you stop nagging, and just help me out here? You're my friend, right?" Na pulled a pouty face at me, so I could do was nod in exasperation.

"You're such a show off! An engineering student who can also paint well. Shit! I shouldn't have followed you!" I wasn't done grousing yet. He wasn't the one who was going to have to go out in the rain!

"Hey, I'm a kind person!" Na shot back at me, without looking up from his work, "Stop being so petulant, and be kind to your friend too!" Na lectured me, causing me to visibly deflate.

"Knock it off already. You just stay here and help Da paint, I'll go now." I mumbled irritably, and stood up, making my way out of the current building and headed back towards Building B.

A huge boom was heard from the ominous looking sky; Oh great, thunder! Damn it, it really was going to rain. I shook my head irritably; I really hate rainy season!

Damn it! Everything is sopping wet! Not to mention shitty road conditions!

And I was heartbroken in rainy season. I once lost someone during this time of year, so I came to hate it.

I ran to Building B as quickly I could. I wanted to get the sketchpad for Na before the rain starting coming down or else I'd be trapped in Building B.

"God, please help me to get there in time!" I prayed as I ran up the stairs to third floor. I opened the door to the classroom where Na had left his sketchpad. As soon as I walked in, I was shocked to find the sketchpad was in the hands of another man.

He was flipping through it with casual interest. He had a similar build to mine, although he was a little bit taller, and appeared to have a lot of Chinese ancestry. He was also incredibly handsome, with flawless fair skin and soft, and jet black hair.

He was the polar opposite of me in every way.

I am a man with clear facial lines and deeply tanned honey skin; pretty distinct from this Chinese-looking man.

But let's just let that go for now; it's not the right time to think about it.

"Excuse me." I inquired hesitantly and he turned to look at me.

"Yeah...?" He replied, raising one eyebrow questioningly.

"Could you please hand that sketchpad to me?"

"Is this yours?" he asked, looking back and forth from me and again to the sketchpad in his long-fingered pale hand.

"Yes." I nodded, then looked out the window behind him. The sky was getting darker by the second, and I was starting to be worried if I was going to make it back in time for the rain started falling.

Please stop stalling and just give me the thing that I came here for- I really didn't want to get trapped here by the rain!

"Nice work." That guy complimented me first, then eyed me quizzically; "Hey, you look really familiar. I think I must have seen you around pretty often."
