KongArthit 💕 - Tale of Two Boys

Chapter 12 - Private

A/N - Happy New Year! I have been the most lax lately, and I am returning with a short filler, but I think the mini vacation deserves a chapter of it's own!

"Ah P' really? I feel like I haven't seen you in months already." Kongpob's friends all turned to look at him, caught off guard by the uncharacteristic complaining. Kongpob rarely whined or complained about anything, least of all to his boyfriend Arthit, everyone froze in place inadvertently listening in on the one-sided conversation.

"One week, one month, one year, it's all the same. Even one day feels like a long time. I feel like I saw you more during hazing before we were even dating."

Kongpob continues his half pretend, half real complaining to Arthit completely unaware of the show he is currently giving his friends. Aim can't help but shiver, even thinking about talking back to Arthit was more than he could imagine. He wasn't sure if he would ever understand where Kongpob got the courage to pursue their head hazer, but he knew once Kongpob set his mind on something there was absolutely no stopping him.

Arthit looked guiltily down at his phone. Waving his friends to go ahead without him, he sighed heavily before picking his phone back up again, "Kong please, don't make this harder on me than it already is."

"Of course I do."

"Do you really need me to say it to believe me?"

"You know exactly what I mean Kongpob, you are just trying to tease me!"

"Just because no one is around doesn't mean its not still... embarrassing..." Arthit could feel his face turning red, he glanced furtively around to make sure no one could overhear his conversation.

"Okay, okay... I ... I miss you too Kong! There I said it, do you feel better now?" Even though Arthit couldn't see him, he could feel Kongpob smiling through the phone. So much for his head hazer reputation, it seems he couldn't deny this guy anything.

"Listen, I have my last interview tomorrow, and if all goes well then my internship will be set, and I will have a couple weeks before I have to start working. This is my top choice though, so I really need to stay home tonight and study up on the interview questions, and company bio."

"Oh, maybe you have heard of the Company, they are pretty big, this interview wasn't easy to get actually. Siam Polymer Group, have you heard of them before?"

"Kongpob?"

"Kong are you there?" Arthit glanced at his phone to see if the call was still connected, he finally heard a stuttering Kongpob replying.

"Yeah, yeah I'm here P' sorry I don't think I heard you correctly, you didn't say Siam Polymer did you?" Kongpob was sure he imagined it, what were the odds that out of all the companies out there Arthit's top internship choice would be his father's company.

"Yes, Siam Polymer, why have you heard anything about them?" Arthit was confused by the obvious hesitation in Kongpob's voice. "Kongpob, what's going on, are you still there? Can you hear me?"

"Yeah, I'm here P', sorry, sorry. Ummm I have heard of them, I believe they are a pretty good company, I'll definitely send you good luck for your interview tomorrow P'." What's the harm after all, even if Arthit got the internship there, it's not like his father would be hanging out with the interns or anything, besides it was only a short internship, it would be over before the end of the school year, no need to panic.
