"That saraleo! I hate him!" He slam his fists into the table with anger.

"I hate him!"

"Who?" Ohm asked.

"Why do you hate him so much?" Frong.

"Yeah. Why?" The three of his friends are getting closer to him which made him nervous.

"He stole..--" He hit the back of their heads and they wince in pain.

"Guys, you need to pair up with the members and make a video of the two of you playing the guitar. It's okay if you only know the basic chords." P'Dim announced.

The students hurriedly find their partners only Tine left.

"Tine, do you already have a partner?" P'Dim ask.

"Not yet, P'Dim."

"Then you can partner up with Sarawat."

"But P'--"

"Sarawat, partner up with Tine and help him with the video."

"Okay P'Dim."

P'Dim left them and the two of them are facing each other.

"Oyy! Why do i have to do this?!" He whined and mess his hair.

"Stop whining and let's start."

Sarawat and Tine are preparing for the video. Tine set up the camera while Sarawat is sitting on the chair, relaxing.

"Let's start."

He press recording.

"Hello everyone, this is Mr. Chick Tine and i'm with."

He look at Sarawat, waiting for him to introduce his name.

"What?"

"Oyy!"

He press recording again and repeat what he said.

"Hello everyone, this is Mr. Chick Tine and i'm with.."

"... Sarawat."

They began playing the guitar but Tine wasn't sure if he's playing it correctly.

"Wrong!"

He tried.

"Wrong!"

He tried again.

"Wrong!"

He tried again until his fingers are hurting.

"Ow! My finger's hurt. Let's take a break."

He was about to exit the room and buy something to eat but stop his tracks when Sarawat spoke.

"Sit."

"Why? I'm hungry."

"I said sit."

He take a seat back to his chair and wait for Sarawat's next move.

He froze when he stop on his back and put Sarawat's arm over Tine's shoulder to reach the guitar.

"Here use this." He gave him a guitar pick and hold his hand with the pick "I'll teach you."

While Sarawat was holding his hand, Tine's heart was beating so fast. They are staring at each other's eyes and the time stops.
