Hate to Love

Chapter 16

Arthit's POV 

I reached my dorm and saw that all of them were already gathered. I took a drink and sat along with them. 
"Okay, guys let's start one by one... First Tutah you speak." I said pointing towards him.

"What... Why is always me first... Ah fine... I am not completely sure about it but I am really attracted to P'Deer... No, I never felt the same to anyone. I don't know anything about him and I am not sure if I should pursue him or not." Ai'Tut spoke and drank a little bit...
"Tuts.. first be sure of your feelings. If you are sure we will help you to pursue him. No problem with that." Prem said.

"Okay okay... I will let you know after I sort out my feeling. And now Bright it's your turn... confess now.!" Ai'Tut said and we turned towards Bright.
"Mmm, I don't really understand anything... I thought I was straight and always attracted to girls.. but do you remember P'Gun... From that moment even though the situation was tensed I could not help but get attracted to him... I found him too cute and my heart was beating so fast." Bright said.
" Bright.. you should know that love is not restricted to any gender... if you really want and are sure then pursue him.. you both will be really cute together. but be sure that he is the one before chasing him." Ai'Knot said in a calm voice.
"Yeah okay.. and now Prem it's your turn." Bright said

"I really like P'Wad.. but I am scared to accept him into my life because we are both short-tempered. So I will let the future decide everything. I will not say no if we can be together but I won't rush things from my side. Also, I will show him my interest for sure.." Prem said.
"Wow.. okay Prem.. but don't step back because of fear.. you know right we will be beside you whatever happens." I assured him. "And now Knot your turn to confess." I said again.

"Okay... I really like P'Tew and I want to pursue him... I feel like the feeling is mutual but I am not sure. I will pursue him after the gear giving ceremony which will be held after the semester break." He spoke confidently which made us smile. "Now Arthit it's your turn." He added and everybody was looking at me... I just smiled before I spoke.

"I am really in love with P'Kongpob... I find him cute and handsome at the same time... I like his childish side when he is with his loved ones and also when he is in his hazer mode... He is really mature and wise but at the same time like a child... I really like him from every angle. And I am serious about him. So I want to speak to my parents when we go home for semester break and pursue him with their permission. I really don't care about his family and all but I like the person he is... He is reliable and lovely. So yes... I want him to be my significant other." I said in one breath with a smile on my face. Everyone was silent for a good minute before they spoke...

"Okay okay You are really in love with him and he is really amazing so we will help you talk with your parents and also help you to pursue him." Knot assured me.
"Hey guys.. we are gonna have the flag capturing event in 3 days... I heard that the flag means a lot and it will be handed over to the freshman every year there are two flags representing our faculty which will be passed alternatively every year and they will hand us the flag as an indication of accepting us as their juniors. Followed by that will be the thread tying ceremony which is really special for the engineering students and will be attended by the passed out batches also." Bright said.

"Oh then... We should really fight hard for that... I want to be called their juniors... I wonder what kind of challenge will we have to face... I am pretty sure that our hazers will come up with something unique." I exclaimed...
"Yah we will surely try hard.. also you are right Arthit.. surely they will come up with a new idea. Also.. we should focus on our end exams.. they are scheduled in 15days after the flag capturing day." Knot reminded us... All we could do was groan with the mention of exams. We had a little more chitchat before we called it a day. I went to bed thinking about the time I spend with P'Kongpob at his dorm today.

Kong's POV

Arthit left once my friends have arrived. They all sat around the bed... First, we decided to look into studies. I was kind of expecting a lot of work but to my surprise, there was only one assignment to be submitted in 2days.. So we covered the classes that we kind of missed or skipped in the last few days.

It took us a good two hours for us to cover the parts which we were lagging. We had to study because the end semester exams were going to start in 20 days. And after that, we have to arrange the gear giving ceremony. We took a small break before continuing our studies.

I asked them what the dean spoke with them.
"He is too stubborn and adamant Kong.. he is happy that we could save the SOTUS System from getting banned and is really thankful for that especially you but... " Em stopped at the but. I was looking at them hoping that someone will continue. 
"But he has not given the green signal for the gear giving ceremony yet. " Tew completed the statement.. Oh, so he still hasn't given the permission ah..

"It's okay guys... Let us first finish the Flag capturing day and I will find a way to convince him. By the way Oak.. did you get all the materials listed?" I asked Oak..
"Yeah everything is ready we just need to arrange them." Oak replied.
"Okay we will start the arrangements tomorrow.. but now let us continue with our studies. We need need to study further topics so that we can focus on arrangements for the next 3 days." I said. We continued studying and stopped when we heard a knock at the door.

Em went to open the door. I saw P'Gun and P'Tay coming in with food for all of us. We kept our books aside and sat down to have our food. I can never get used to my brother and best friend being so lovey-dovey in front of me.

To be frank I was shocked and surprised when my brother told me that he likes Em. He told me before the start of my final year in high school. But I was happy when they announced their relation by 4 months from that day. I did not leave any chance to tease them. I warned both of them to not hurt the other and if anyone hurts the other they will have to face me.. I even warned Em saying that If in case they both broke up in the future he is not gonna leave the friendship too.. I did not want that to happen.. And now here they are all happy and full in love even after near 4years.

I am really happy about that. I observed that P'Gun was really calm than ever.. So I asked him to come with me to get drinks. We both made our way to buy some drinks. 
"P'Gun why are you so silent.. is there anything you are stressing about." I asked him as we were walking.
"No Nong.. it's nothing I am just thinking about one person who doesn't get out of my mind." He said.
"P' you know right you can share with me anything. " I tried assuring him

"Nong... You know a freshman named Bright.. He is the one that captured my interest. I once heard him speaking about the SOTUS system and the way he was feeling highly about you being his seniors. After that I have been noticing him around.. he kind of happy go lucky guy.. but also caring and protective when it comes to his beloved people. I feel like I really like him. But I am not sure if he is attracted to boys or not. Also, I don't have much time left in the campus if I really want to pursue him. I even told our parents they were okay with anyone as long as that person is good irrespective of family status. I am just not able to think of a way to approach him." P'Gun told me with a dull voice. 

I gave him a brief hug and told him.. "P don't worry too much about it.. I will surely help to court him if you love him.. But first, let us complete the gear giving ceremony and after that, we will take steps.. So now my dear P.. smile for this Nong.. This Nong doesn't like to see his P upset.. " I said in a sulking voice... which worked. He smiled genuinely and said that he will try after the ceremony.

We took the beers and made our way to the dorm. We were having our drinks when Wad said that he is gonna court Nong Prem after the gear giving ceremony is over. And also Tew revealed that he is completely gone for Nong Knot. Oak kind of realized that he was attracted Maprang after two and half years. All were looking towards me like questioning if anyone caught my interest. I fell into deep thoughts.. all I could think of was one specific junior Arthit.

I told them that I am attracted to him but as of now I am not sure about how serious my feelings are but I am gonna let time decide. I also told them that I can feel that he likes me. After I told them that they were all shocked and had question mark faces. I told them the changes I observed and the way he started acting and also about the bet.. I even told them about the hug he gave me.. and told them that I am not oblivious.

Em was the first one to come out and speak.
"If he really wants to be in a relation Ai'Kong he should get our permission for sure. No way in hell would I let that rude kid be with you in a relationship even though it is dating. He should surely get all our hazer permission along with you brothers. I warn you to do something against this I will surely cut ties with you. " Em spoke seriously. I guess P'Tay and P'Gun understood who that kid is seeing their faces.

"Nong we don't mind if you date that Rojnapath kid and be in a serious relation.. but before you say yes to him he should surely get our acceptance even to date you that too if in case he makes a move on you. But if you make a move.. we should approve of him.. otherwise, you are not gonna do it Nong. And don't dare to go against us." P'Tay said and everyone nodded in agreement.

After that P'Gun also told about his interest in Nong Bright but what surprised us was P'Deer being interested in Nong Tutah and is going to make a move after the exams. Wow.. What is it with these kids and the hazers.. It is going to be fun after the exams and especially after the gear giving ceremony. We called it a day after some time and everyone left to their dorms. I went to bed thinking about Nong Arthit which is not my first time recently.
