Look at that idiot, thought Arthit sulkily, being friendly and cheerful and popular again.

Like seriously, what does he get by being everyone's favourite?

No, let him rephrase it. Why does he want to be everyone's favourite.

Why can't he be like a normal person?

Arthit can't tell how annoying he found it.

----------------------------------------------------

Arthit's brows scrunched up, as he watched him getting all comfortable with that particular lady.

Sure kongpob was friendly with everyone. But he could tell, that this Gem girl was his favourite.

How?

Because she sat next to Kongpob. And they keep interacting with each other all day long.

Not to mention, they had to perform some of the duties together too.

Arthit pouted as he heard them laughing together.

Just how many times had Kongpob laughed with him like that?

Never.

Idiot.

--------------------------------------------------------

"Idiot", Arthit muttered for an umpteenth time, as he looked at that photo for umpteenth time.

Arthit was feeling a little happy and excited that day. Because they were going to take a group photo together.

And he was also feeling a little shy.

It would be the first time they would be snapped together, in a single frame.

So he couldn't help but anticipate.

But when they were posing for that photo, that idiot had to go and stand beside that Gem girl.

And Arthit couldn't be any more disheartened.

But that didn't stopped him from looking at that photo again and again.  And branding him as an idiot again and again.

-------------------------------------------------------

Can that person be any more if an idiot than this.

Sure, Arthit was totally in love with Kong's perfume. He could smell him from his cubicle too.

And whenever Kong passed by him, he couldn't help but inhale a lungful of that smell.

So, Arthit gathering all of his courage, went to Kongpob.

Surely everyone likes compliments, and Kong would like it too.

But when Arthit did complimented his perfume, all kong did was give him a tight smile.

Hurt, Arthit turned back and walked away.

Idiot.

-------------------------------------------------------

Why, why does he had to look so sad.

It was only that Gem girl going away.

Okay, if Arthit was being very honest, she was a nice girl. Diplomatic and very careful, but nice.

But why does Kong care so much?

Why was he sad?

Oh yes. Ofcourse. His favourite person in the whole office was going away. Ofcourse he will be sad.

Don't look so sad on her going away, idiot.

---------------------------------------------------------

Did he missed me?

Is he looking forward to meet me?

Will he be happy to see me?

Excited, Arthit entered the office after a two week long holiday.

But all his anticipations were washed away when Kongpob didn't even looked up when he entered.

Arthit's mood immediately soured.

Idiot.

Idiot. Idiot. Idiot. Idiot.

Why can't he smile like that at Arthit too?

Why can't he talk like that with Arthit too?

Why can't he care about Arthit too?

Idiot.

---------------------------------------------------------

Kongpob didn't cared. Arthit was sure of it. Because Arthit was gonna get transferred, and whenever talks about it came up, Kongpob remain unaffected .

Sure he asked where he was going.

But beside that, he asked nothing.

Like how was he going?

How was he managing?

And most importantly, when was he going.

But nothing.

Idiot.

---------------------------------------------------------

That's it.

Today was the last day. Even his sendoff was over. And Kongpob remained cheerful throughout.

How can he be cheerful?

Idiot. Idiot. Idiot. Idiot.

But,

Arthit was the biggest idiot. Because he knew,  Kong never cared, only Arthit did.

And still hoped and hoped and hoped.

He felt like crying.

Might as well get over it.

Taking a one last look at Kongpob, he turned around to go.

"Idiot", he muttered for the last time.

"Who's an idiot?"

Arthit turned around surprised, then replied,

"Me", and in a moment of courage," you...."

"You and me both? Why?"

"Because..... because I care too much, and you don't care at all."

"Huh?"

"About you and me."

"............"

"......…..."

"Ok, I agree I am idiot. But, the thing is, I want to be your idiot"
