Third, 's Person POV

Facing and admiring the sunset on the beach always gives him a feeling of heartache, yet it becomes a habit to come to the beach when he has free time.

Sitting on the sand watching the waves hit the shore, a man, one year younger than himself, like him, also having love and hate of idea watching the sunset, yet here there are, whenever they come, always hanging on the same spot.

" What's for dinner? " The younger asks a man beside him.

" Same old? " He answered as he smiled thinly

Then the young one, Mingkwan Daichapanya, chuckles, " Same old then-" They should not bother asking each other; it's always the same thing.

So both of them get up; well, the sunset show is finished, so now they've to go back to the campus, but not before dinner.

As they have agreed to, hitting the same Spicy Noodle with meatballs, the same stall not too far away from the beach it is.

Well, the old lady was pretty lovely and already attracted, treating them as loyal customers.

So they have more meatballs in their bowl of soup, more sauces too. That is privileged...

Mingkwan checked the phone after they were done eating; he read the texts he had received and sighed; he should not feel glad like this, yeah, but. Easy saying than done...

" Well, the same place... " he said in a low voice. Beam nods and focuses on driving.

Then, two of them going to the same place, he drove more furiously—three hours to their next destination. One man goes to the clubhouse near the campus—a place where someone is having a rough day.

Probably...

Beam comes inside the club in a hurry. His heel abruptly stopped for a while when he saw the wasted man on the bar, his head on the table, and his right holding a shot of tequila. He knows this man well, the former Moon of Engineering of KU, Second Years, known as the Wolf King, Forth Jaturapoom.

Beam bites his trembling lips and clenched fists and almost runs toward where the man is sitting. He sighed as he took a sits beside the man. " You fucking wasted!!" Beam hissed, which made Forth look at him and smirked.

Asking for one glass of beer, Beam sits there quietly; the man chuckles and says, "...He rejected me again and probably having a nice date with your fucking best friends...aren't you future doctors have so much luck??? Fucker!!!. "

" Well, maybe... some are not so lucky!. " Beam clucked his tongue, says, then sipped his beer.

" Huh, well, again, for fucking twice!" Forth hissed, Beam just nodding back. He resents this situation.

At the same time, in a campus dorm, Block 2, first floor, Ming knocked on the door.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

The sound of knocking made a young boy jump from the couch. Well, Ming can hear the rustle inside, hearing how the fist grabs on the knob and then right away, the door is open.

When he looked at the young boy inside the room and saw how puffy and reddened his eyes were, seeing how worse it was...Ming just opened his arm and pulled the young boy closer to him. " Ming ~~~" The sad man is sobbing again, and Ming can only come inside and close the door for them.

The sad man is the Moon of Science, Wayo Panitchayasawa, just like himself, the Moon of Engineering. Both were first-year students at Kanthapat University, one of the most prestigious Universities in Thailand for its research.

They were best friends since kindergarten, too. That clearly shows how they are so close to each other.

" Hey, what happened, hmm~~? " Ming ask Wayo softly

Tears drop again, rolling down his cheeks; he retorts softly, " Phi Pha asked me for a date this morning...but, Ming~~~ " he keeps hiccuping while sobbing.

" I was waiting for him... more than hours for that date... but then Phi Pha called and said that he can't make it today too... hik hik hik."

"That is the third time he cancelled it. I don't understand him, Ming~~; I feel like he is changing~~~ " Waykeepsep sobbed.

Ming closes his eyes for a while. He feels guilty inside.

Why was everything messed up

***

It's started at the beginning of his second year in the third semester, when Beam momentarily felt that what he has, had happened a couple of months ago, right after his second-semester final exam over, and they had a party with booze in Lam's house that time was not confusion or an illusion.

He was denying when he spent his holiday time before...

But back then, alas, he meets someone as reckless as him. He makes him completely forget about what he has once saved in his heart—someone who reminds him that he is still ' normal' as it is.

Someone who reminds him of living a life like Casanova is so cool. To be cool rather than be nothing at all. To live life when he thought he had the best moments. Was that worth thinking about something he has no experience in?

No. Yup. Not at all! Heck, it is!

It's not cool. Damn it!

That was...well, whatever he thought. Why was? It didn't matter at that time.

Maybe the only good thing is when he meets that reckless young man, they both still have their humanity and are responsible towards others.

It is compassionate.

"Maybe it's because the feeling of loneliness is hindering me." Beam once thought about it.

Maybe all the attention they both used to have and were proud of now was not precious anymore. They began to feel the radiation towards others...but was it too late?

And that how they meet... were not so beautiful moments, when one knows how they meet. But it's funny moments, laughter and joy, sharing the conversation...the concern. Make them more open with each other...

Once flat tyres, meeting with the director of Hope House, an orphan house.

One time, when the young boy that is running away from his house because he fought with his parents, had no money, and had no car, he ended up sleeping outside and doing all the wrong things for just some fucking name as ' I want your attention '. But nope... his parents do not even care...

It's fate when they have become best buddy in crime when they meet in the middle of an empty road at midnight, and then both spend the night at the orphan house. Their friendship and brotherhood are bonding right away.

But life is cruel sometimes. They haven't learned anything about the matter of the heart department. Once they'd realised, they were in big trouble.

And now, it is hunting him back to back. Funny it's...the same reckless man, too, faces the same matter, heartsick—two reckless hearts were stupid.
