Their Beautiful Secret

33.

Arthit stood frozen as he processed what he heard. With his chest hammering, he headed towards the covered gymnasium where the first game of basketball was starting. Wanting to see his alpha took precedence.

Not want...

He needed to see him.

Loud cheers tore Arthit from his thoughts as he came closer to the gymnasium. He was greeted by engineering first years who came to show their support for the basketball team. Bright and the rest of the gang were right behind them.

"Hurry up!" Bright yelled to his underclassmen to which the first years turned and gave him a blank stare.

Toota began to laugh as the other chuckle. "You look stupid, Bright."

Prem agreed. "They made it out of the hazing activities; you won't be able to scare them that easy anymore."

"Yeah," Toota. "You can't be yelling at the kids anymore."

Bright wore his signature knitted brows; he disagreed with his friends. Spotting their leader, he called for him instead. "Arthit! Hey, wait up!"

"You're just coming in now?" Arthit asked, his face back to being stoic.

"Bright had to flirt on the way here," Toota reasoned.

Arthit shook his head as he resumed walking ahead.

The gymnasium was full. The game was between the engineering and social science faculty.

"Why are they so tall?" Toota commented as they all took their seats in the middle part of the bleachers. Bright didn't want to sit too close to the court in fear of getting hit by a ball.

"These political science first years," Bright clicked his tongue.

"Are you jealous because you're shorter than them?" Prem teased.

"I'm happy with my height!" Bright countered.

Arthit on the other hand, sitting next to Knott, kept quiet as they waited for the rest of the engineering players. The other team with their all white jersey were on their side of the court, all ready for the game. Their supporters were screaming a name or two in the team.

At last, the assigned captain of the engineering team appeared with his team. Arthit's chest flittered at the sight of Kongpob in maroon jersey.

Seeing his alpha was enough to calm the omega's mind.

While the rest of the crowd was too rowdy and uncontrollable, Arthit and Knott remained silent, smiling from time to time or in Arthit's case, biting his lip when Kongpob has the ball. And each time, the alpha shoots a point or two, he smiled, palms squeezing to keep his joy from bursting.

In the end, the screams from Arthit's side of the bleachers overwhelmed the rest of the crowd. The maroon banners were waved triumphantly.

The engineering team won.

"Man! I knew we're gonna win."

Arthit heard Bright say but his eyes were glued to the person looking his way from the court. Kongpob was smiling at him and before he could tear his eyes off the alpha, Kongpob gave him a wink.

"Silly..." Arthit muttered with a tender smile.

"Kongpob!!! You're freaking awesome!" Maprang came running towards Kongpob and his team. Behind her were Prae and May.

"Thanks," Kongpob replied with a bright smile.

"Congrats in winning," Prae extended a hand to Kongpob and Tew. Tew was also in the team. "You guys did well."
