Together With Me (Thai Novel Fan Translation)

Chapter 25

Editor's Note: To accommodate various  real life schedule changes, we've gotta scale back to a chapter every other week. I'd really like to get this thing finished by Christmas this year, so hopefully it won't be for too long. And for some reason, the original author abandoned her A/B chapter structure at this point in the story, so this is ALL of chapter 25. *shrug*

[Knock's POV]

I looked around quickly after Korn's request to make sure no one else was around, and I gave him a hasty peck.  I stepped back and tried to shoo him on his way.

"You may go now!"

"That doesn't count!" Korn growled in disappointment.

"What do you want?" I rolled my eyes in exasperation at him, "I kissed you."

"You call that a kiss? That was just lip contact." Korn said, pulling a disappointed face.

"Then what do YOU call a kiss?" I retorted and Korn gave me a  sly smile.

"There's tongue involved in a real kiss."

I kicked his shin and he growled at me again. "Hey, that hurts!"

"Can you be serious, please? We're on campus right now, this isn't the place to have a make out session. Let's get going now, I'm starving! I'll go by myself if you don't get moving." I said impatiently, rolling my eyes again.

"Hey wait up, I'll come with you!" Korn stood up quickly, and grabbed his bag. I nodded, waiting for him to catch up with me. It was better for him to come with me anyway, since I know he'd pay for our food. 

We came back  carrying many bags full of food (which Korn paid for, as predicted). We bought enough for the whole study group; they were probably hungry since they started working on the assignment much earlier this morning. As expected, they pounced on the food like hungry ghosts! Meanwhile, normally silent Borm actually said something, uttering one complete sentence for the first time that whole day. 

He watched as Bot reached out to grab a bag of potato crisps, "Glutton. Junk food rots your brain, you're going to end up like Pheet ."

"Hey, don't drag me into this. You just keep up that silent cool act of yours, like you usually do." Pheet said while pointing at Borm's face; he'd remained totally expressionless during the exchange, even my junior Namning couldn't compete with him!

"Hey! Can I have this pork rice burger?" Noerprew asked, smiling sweetly at Korn. Korn smiled back at her, taking the burger out of her hands, instead handing it to me. I accepted it, although I was confused by his actions.

"You can't have that one, it belongs to Knock. He hasn't had anything to eat yet today, he'll end up with a stomach ache later if he doesn't eat something now."

Noerprew tilted her head to one side quizzically, looking back and forth between Korn and I, and scoffed. "Are you two a gay couple or something? You're so overprotective of each other."

"Whether they're gay or not is none of your damn business, Noerprew. "

Nope. That didn't come from Korn or I. That was Fah!!

"Fah! You! Why are you being so mean to me? Whose friend are you?" Noerprew scolded her, hands on hips. The awesome Ms. Fah turned to Noerprew, and continued her scolding .

"It isn't your business even if they are a couple! Just keep your mouth shut and stop embarrassing both yourself and me !"

Korn and I exchanged knowing looks and then turned away; afterall, we really are a couple...
