Together With Me (Thai Novel Fan Translation)

Chapter 27

Editor's Note: I took a much needed mental health break because I've got a complicated situation going on at home that was sucking my soul out of my eyeballs. There were multiple times I picked up my laptop and stared at the screen and literally couldn't think of anything to say. I'm not going to apologize for looking after my own well-being. Inspiration has been non-existent lately as well; although I'm not the author of this story, it still takes considerable amount of creativity to reword a lot of this text so it makes any kind of sense. I don't know if I've got my groove back, but I'm working on it. There's some REALLY good stuff on the horizon for me, so hopefully I can get back into a good flow and get this project finished before I go back to Bangkok in February, Sushi's work schedule and Divine Favor willing.

[Knock's POV]

I moved as fast as the water would allow to prevent Korn from catching me. It had felt lovely to be in the water! Amphawa has beautiful, clean rivers, thankfully; unlike some other rivers, where there is the possible concern about parasites or bacteria.

Korn grabbed my hand tightly, and after a struggle, we both fell back in the river. We couldn't move freely due to the resistance from water. I tried to shove his head away, but instead it just looked like I was caressing his forehead in the water.

What a lovely scene.

Once again, I tried to avoid him but Korn had captured my wrist, pulled me against him and kissed my face.

His mind is only ever on one thing, that asshole!

I splashed water in his face, and swam back to the dock trying to put some distance between us. Korn followed me determinedly and dragged me back by my shoulder.

"Hey, let go already." I turned to try to get back to the dock, but he leaned down to kiss my lips, which he gradually deepened as he clung to me. He nibbled at my lips, gently sucking my upper lip and knocking my teeth. His big hands cupped my cheeks, tilting his head the other way changing the angle before leaning in to capture my lips again. Just then...

"Knock!! Knock!! Are you home son?"

"Fuck!!!"

I pushed Korn away hastily after hearing a voice calling my name. He huffed irritably, and I dragged him with me to hide under the long pylons which supported the boat slip of his house. We hid behind the boat and peeked out to check what was going on in the house. It was my aunt who had come looking for me.

"Who is that lady? What horrible timing."

I smacked his head. "That's my aunt, you jerk. Don't speak ill of an innocent elderly person or you might get cursed. My aunt is a nice person. And even if she didn't come, you shouldn't have done such embarrassing thing in public, get it?"

"Whatever." Korn rolled his eyes at me.

"Whatever." I hissed back, mocking him.

"No one can see us down here anyway." Korn murmured huskily, and pressing his nose against my cheek, gave me a loud "smack" of a kiss.

I shot him some annoyed side-eye, and growled "I'll make you kiss my feet instead if you keep this up. Knock it off already."

"Why are you being so mean?" He whined. I peeked out from behind the boat again to see what was happening; my aunt was still looking for me inside the house.

"My mom must've told her that I'm here. That's why she won't leave."

"Why does she need to see you?"

"Because I'm her nephew, jackass. Don't you have any relatives?" I mocked him again.

"Great, I'm gonna beat you with my mouth later, lash you with my tongue until you moan."
