Together With Me (Thai Novel Fan Translation)

Chapter 23B

Editor's Notes/EXPLICIT CONTENT WARNING! It's not really clear what the hell their friends drugged them with, but since it was described as a loose white powder, I'm going to assume it was probably MDMA, also known as Molly or Ecstacy. I, errr, have some, shall we say, 'experience' with that substance from my younger days, as hard-partying single in crazy San Francisco. I'm editing this chapter with those (rather vivid) memories in mind, so I did take a little extra creative license in a few places. 😅😅😅

"Why is everyone leaving?"

Knock was confused as to what the hell had happened because everyone left so quickly, without any warning. I knew they wanted to test Knock and I to find out if we were more than friends, and they sent Bayh to probe Knock's reactions. I couldn't help but be jealous, watching his ex-boyfriend flirt with him; anyone would be jealous in that situation!

"Hey, can I ask you something before I go?" Na asked. Jan and his boyfriend, Bayh and his boyfriend as well as Dream and Pai had already booked it out of there like the building was on fire, leaving only Na there with his partner Win standing timidly behind him.

"What?" Knock was still confused.

"So, you're in a relationship now?" Na asked hesitantly, but his curiosity was obviously threatening to devour him. When I saw Knock's unwillingness to answer, I sighed heavily. Fine! I will answer him then!

"Yeah. Since we went back to Amphawa together, about a month ago. We did it." I said calmly, Na and Win's eyes widened in shock.

"Who's the top?" Na couldn't seem to stop himself from asking the million baht question.

"None of your business." I wasn't about to tell him that; knowing we were together was one thing, but they definitely didn't need all the juicy details. I had seen Knock eyeing me nervously from the side as Na had asked that question; I wasn't about to hurt his dignity.

"Heh. I'm sure I'd still be confused even if you did tell me." Na mumbled. "You can go to the rooms upstairs if you can't hold back." Na's parting words made no sense to me; what did he think I needed to hold back and why did he think I wouldn't be able to? I hadn't had that much to drink, it was only one glass of beer, and I'd shared it with Knock.

"No worries, I can handle it." Na gave me a very awkwardly stiff smile, before taking hold of his boyfriend's arm to leave. I held Knock's arm to get him to stand up, and I had this strange feeling...

An unfamiliar sensation of warmth was spreading out from my belly and coursed tingling through my limbs, out to my toes and fingertips. It climbed up my neck and across my face; I could literally feel it spreading through all the nerves in my brain. Sweat suddenly covered my forehead; in fact, I was beginning to sweat all over.

"Hey, why are you sweating?" Knock grabbed my arm worriedly; then he too seemed to be hit by the same thing that I was feeling too....

"Whoa, I feel really strange...." He said, "I suddenly feel really hot, and I don't know why."

I grabbed his arm, and dragged him with me to the counter of the bar when I learned he was feeling the same thing I was.

"I want to get a room upstairs, how much is it..." I fished cash out of my wallet, fumbling a little as the bartender handed me the keys.

Knock and I helped each other upstairs to the room. Both of us were sweating and felt extremely hot, we had exactly the same symptoms. Accelerated breathing, tightness in the chest, sweating; when our bodies had brushed against each other, my rationality began to fracture. It had felt so indescribably good, I could barely stop myself from ripping his clothing to shreds and fucking him right then and there. Knock's symptoms did not seem to be as serious as mine; he was still capable of rational thought. He'd taken his phone out of his pocket with shaking hands, cursing as he tried to dial number after number.
