Pick-A-Boo

1. Accolades

"Jimin .... did you use my phone last night?", someone asked while tucking in his shirt. Of course Jimin knew him by his voice and also because he was his roommate, a man who called himself the hope of humanity.

"Mmm....",Jimin replied with muffled sounds coming from the bathroom

"I can't hear a thing ...", he replied

Hope grabbed his belt from the side of the bed and headed towards the bathroom door, making up excuses for why he barely got an answer to his question. Maybe he's brushing his teeth, afterall they'd just woken up.

He opened the door, and immediately recoiled from the scene before him
"Jimin... Isn't it too early in the morning to be jerking off?", he asked

"Mmm", Jimin replied again.

"Just make sure you clean up once you're done", Hope added and made his way back to the room.

Jimin shook his head as he poured the mouthwash into the sink and rinsed his mouth. He wondered why Hope always had a dirty mind.

Meanwhile Hope had grabbed his bag and already headed out. He and Jimin have been friends since he could remember. They met at a funeral back when they were 12 and 13 and had found out that their fathers had been best friends in their teens. However, they had drifted apart and their friendship had later drowned.

Now 24 and 25, they lived together in an apartment and attended the same college majoring in the film department.

"Ohoi....i forgot to bring my laptop", Hope muttered to himself when he entered the classroom. How was it that he kept forgetting it?.
He turned to take a quick glance across the room to find out if Jimin had arrived. Fairly satisfied that he wasn't in, he picked up his phone and called himself.

The phone rang three timed without an answer and he rolled his eyes. Jimin was probably ditching class today, Hope thought with a neutral expression.The editing class began shortly and Hope was stuck with Miss Perawat until 2.

At 3, Hope was officially drained. As he sat at the gang table alone, he wondered about his other two friends.

Neither had shown up for school today and none had called. Granted that they were all players but he couldn't help but wonder about their safety.

Classes ended an hour ago so he had decided to grab a cold drink. As it turns out, his favourite is green iced tea.

He sipped his tea slowly, raising his brows when someone slid beside him on his beach.

"Sawasdee kha P, I saw you sitting here all by yourself so I thought I could keep you company"
Hope obviously remembered her. She was the exchange student from Thailand, also the girl from last year's faculty sale programme. She had asked to kiss him on the cheek in return for purchasing their DL Extra hot and spicy Sausages. He had declined and told her that she had the option to not buy if she didn't want to.

She had felt embarrassed and left.

"P, my name is Milk. You didn't ask", she continued.

Hope took a sip and stared at her.

"Nong Milk, can I enjoy my iced tea in silence please?", he asked. She pouted and Hope actually thought it was cute.

"P'told me that you are always in class but I thought that maybe I can strike a conversation with you now that you are not in class", she complained.

Gun raised a brow. Guess P'Shane isback to his matching making business once again. Although he never means any harm, he always ends up never minding his own business.
Hence he always misses things that are right underneath his nose. Like how half the faculty know that P'Phone likes him and yet he is oblivious.

"Look Nong Milk, if you're trying to hit Hod Gun down there, I'm sorry to say that he has declined...until further notice. Don't waste your time"

That said, he grabbed his drink and left.

When Gun got home, he was surprised to find Off at home.

"What happened P?", he asked

"My date stood me up"

"Ohoooo....", Gun laughed.

"Is it that funny?", Off asked in annoyance.

"Yes, Off Jumpol the baddest gangsta got stood up", he cackled in laughter.

"I hope you choke and die", Off retaliated.

Gun on the other had was already in the throes of laughter, way too excited to even pay the slightest attention to his roommate's current state.

"Anyway, some girl was here in the morning, looking for you",

That stopped the laughter momentarily as Gun frowned

"Did she say what her name was?", he asked. Off shrugged, "she did but I forgot", he said nonchalantly

"Must be P'Sweet. She must have been here for the first draft of the script", Gun whispered.

"I don't think so, she said her name was Nong....", Off paused to try and recollect

"Ow,ow....Pear....the asssistant script writer", Gun supplied.

"Aw, it was Milk. I think"

Gun instantly frowned
"I met her at our table this afternoon. She's coming on to me a little too hard, don't you think?", he asked Off who only nodded

"What do you suggest I do?", he asked again

"I say you hit"

Gun rolled his eyes.
"Why do I even bother asking you?. The best perdon I should probably ask is Two"

"If you say so Gun. Just be careful".
Off picked up his laptop and turned to stare at Gun.
"Wanna watch some porn?"

"Ohoi, no wonder your laptop got infected by a virus last week. Too much porn is bad for your health"

That said, Gun picked up his bag and headed for Two's place.

They coukd catch up on today's lesson in Editing class and maybe talk about he was going to get rid of Nong Milk.

The problem wasn't just Milk, there was Pear and a lot of other girls who had tried to hit on him and although he did consider himself a player, the past month had been a little turnover for him. He was suddenly reluctant to hit it with any girl and he often got annoyed at his friends for sleeping around.

However, Gun was surprised to find the place locked. Strange, considering Two never said anything about travelling.

Gun immediately sent a message to their group chat.

Gun: Did Two tell anyone he's not available today?

Bone: Have you tried looking for him at Buffet Shabu?

Gun: I tried calling but phone's offp

Off: Porn on hold, one hod missing.
