The Journalist's Diary

Entry #4 : Sweet Creature

It's already a month since Arthit arrives in Phuket. Today marks his day 31 in the said island. A lot of things happened for the past days. Within those days, Arthit learned a lot about Kongpob. The amount of information from Kongpob really shocked the older. Basic information yet so important to Arthit. Those basic information meant a lot.

Aside from that, Arthit sometimes sub as a teacher. After their crazy talk that led to his allergies attacked, the next morning, Kongpob basically introduced Arthit as the new sub-teacher whenever he's not around that Arthit found surprising. It was on the spot that Kongpob's students doesn't like his existence on the first day.

"Good morning P'Kongpob"

Arthit stands from the back and starts to set-up his camera. Kongpob gave Arthit the permission to invade the younger spaces by taking pictures, asking questions, but Kongpob takes it slower by answering some picked questions. Arthit just let him be, he doesn't want to lose this opportunity.

Kongpob smiles and greet is students, Arthit from the back comfortably doing his work not minding the curious looks from Kongpob's students. Arthit adjusted the camera to get a nice angle to record the whole scene. After adjusting, he sets the record on.

"Well, I'll introduce you guys to someone"

The students gasp and excitedly ask their P'Kongpob. Kongpob warmly smile and look at Arthit who seems enjoying his job. He meets Arthit's eyes and waves his right hand calling him to come in front. Shock and confuse but Arthit still awkwardly comes forward. His hand is on his nape while awkwardly smiling at the kids. The kids look at him with a confuse expression in their faces. 

"This is P'Arthit" Kongpob enthusiastically introduced Arthit.

Arthit lips form into thin line, his dimples appeared then inhales a heavy one before he plasters his wide smile. He looks at Kongpob who's also smiling and put his look back again to the kids. Arthit smiles.

"Sawadee khap, I'm P'Arthit---"

"And P'Arthit will be a new teacher here" Kongpob smiles and plasters a grin when Arthit looks at him with a wide eyes.

This is not what they talk about. Kongpob allows Arthit to conduct an interview with him, that's it, so what is this prank all about? Arthit controlling himself to smack the guy beside him. He murmurs his objection to the younger.

"We didn't talk about it" Arthit said still managing his poise for the kids not to suspect his frustrated glance to Kongpob. Kongpob smirk. Ha! I won!

"I just wanted to test how far you'll go" Kongpob playfully whispers.

The kids wai to Arthit. Kongpob said he has some errand to do so Arthit is the one who's in-charge for a while. Arthit tried to protests but the younger said he'll decline Arthit's invitation for an exclusive interview. Arthit had enough, the younger basically blackmailed him. He wet his lips in Kongpob's ridiculous prank. He asks the kid to wait for a minute and drags the latter outside. 

"What is this shit all about?! I practically don't know about teaching!" Arthit said the moment they reached outside.

"Me neither" Arthit scoffs in Kongpob's reply.

"Let's just say, this is a part-time job of yours, what do you think?"

"Are you serious?! The only job that I'm in is to have an interview with you, that's it"
