ｃｈａｐｔｅｒ ６

i'm sorry if it took so long, i was quiet unmotivated to write these days//

As soon as i dragged sarawat outside we decided to hide at the nearest convenience store. I know it wasn't a good plan but we really need to hide.

As soon as we entered the convenience store, we immediately took a bottle of water and drank it without even paying for it. We both panted heavily still catching our breaths.

After finishing the whole bottle, i glanced at sarawat and damn, this guy is really hot. He was finishing his bottle and oh look at that damn throat! makes me want to strangle him so bad!

Sarawat then looked at me and just rolled his eyes when he caught me staring at him.

"is that a thank you? well welcome." i sarcastically said and ruffled my hair in disappointment when he just leaned his back on the wall and said nothing.

damn.

We both kept silent, while ignoring each other's gazes when we heard huge footsteps coming.

We were scared to see who it was but then, when i saw who it is i just smiled in happiness.

"P'Ty--"

"Gosh Tine! What are you doing?" He yelled, as he widened his eyes when he saw the unpaid water bottles on our hands.

Ah crap. "What are you doing?!" he shouted half whispher as he pinched my ear while dragging me towards the counter table. "A-aw!! That hurts!"

Sarawat who is clueless, just followed us with his big huge eyes.

"Pay for it right now!"

"Yes! I know!" i shouted back while giving him my wallet. I was actually waiting for sarawat to pay for it but nahh, he's such an ungrateful hoe.

P'type sudenly stopped shouting at me and looked at sarawat. I thought he'll yell at him too but he he just looked at him in concern.

"I am truly sorry for my little brother! Did he influence you to do that? He wasn't like this before until he met those 3 crackheads." he complained while continously glaring at me.

"P'Type! He's not my friend, i was saving his ass! and you shouldn't be telling him that..." i mumbled the last part as i scratched the back of my neck.

"Well why not? And you should be by home now! You're lucky that i got your ass or else someone might have caught you stealing!"

damn he's my brother, type.

He usually doesn't work part time jobs but when he found out that i was working at the cafe 1 block away from here, he then decided to take this job so he can watch me suffer.

Sarawat and I sat down for a moment, while waiting for my brother, type to prepare an instant noodle for us. Trust me, sarawat and i just want to leave this damn place but we can't disobey a damn annoying elderly named type.

"Eat up." my brother said with concern while sitting beside us, he looks pretty annoyed with us, but whenever he looks at sarawat, his eyes just softens as if he's looking at a corgi.

Sarawat was incredibley silent and cold ever since we left the cafe. I was quite concerned if i got the right sarawat.

"So..." type started. "When did you become frie---"

"i have to go."  sarawat suddenly stood up, leaving the store while heading back to the cafe i guess...

we just watched him walk away. He keeps on hiding his face with his hoodie, trying to avoid everyone's eyes. He was just so... Mysterious.

"i like him." p'type suddenly blurted out as i almost chocked on my noodles.

He immediately gave me a bottle of water, while tapping my back gently, yet i was there still looking at him in disbelief.

"P'type..." i gulped.

"What?! Ugh Tine! What are you? A five year old kid?" he annoyingly said, still tapping my back and giving me tissues. "look at you! you're such a mess!"

"P'type" i called him again but this time, with courage. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes.

"d-do you like sarawat? are you gay?"  i softly asked him when he suddenly furrowed his brows and just stopped.

"WHAT?!" he shouted, widening his huge eyes in disbelief. I was quite nervous that he might say yes but he just snickered at my sudden question.

"you don't get it, don't you?" he asked with that huge grin on his face.

"Uhhh"

"the way he looks at you and the way you look at him, it's the same... to be honest, you two look really beautiful together." he admitted as he let out a small chuckle and tapped my shoulders.

"you're lucky to meet a guy like him." he said and once again, a memory once MUST forgotten just entered my mind again.

"we um, we could run anytime you know." i stuttered as he raised his one brow at me.

"yeah! we could definetely ru---"

"yiesh!" I immediately shook my head,  really disappointed at myself for recalling that memory.

"I've been through a lot after i met that guy! Err" just by thinking about him makes me want to puke!

P'type who looks really tired of me just shook his head and went back to the counter table. "I don't care if you like guys, but find a guy who's like him."

I am dumbfounded. Did he just tell me "hey tine its okay if ur gay, like idc about you, just find a guy like saraleo." Like wow, that's fuckin beautiful.

me with that asshole? No way!

"yeah um i like girls, remember?"

"For now yes, but we don't know about the future tine." he smirked. AH THAT SMIRK! 

He then went back to work and left me with this crazy thoughts that i have.

i just shook my head and as soon as i finished my noodles, i bid him a goodbye and left the store.

I walked towards the side road which my bike is located and was stunned to find out that there was a mini store near the cafe.

I looked over the window but saw literally nothing, i just shrugged and was about to take off when i heard a familiar voice inside.

"you like someone from the cafe you're working at?"

"yes." she giggled. "he's so tall, very charming and he's just so passionate." that voice.

"ohhhh prae is inlove!"

Prae?
