"Love, get up. Let's eat. You haven't taken your dinner." Arthit woke up Kongpob who slept off on Arthit's chest. Arthit slowly tried waking up Kongpob again as Kongpob kept stirring in his sleep. After several tries Kongpob woke up rubbing his eyes. "I'm sleepy P'. I don't want to eat. Please let me sleep na." But Kong's stomach was not thinking like him. Arthit heard Kongpob's stomach growling. "I don't think you are not hungry baby. You stomach is saying the opposite. I bought your favorite noodles with meatballs and your iced coffee. Get up na baby." Kongpob gave up when he saw a pouting Arthit. They sat together and had their dinner, sharing about their week without each other. The next morning, Kong woke up to a sleeping Arthit beside him. He gave a kiss to his forehead before going for his jog. Kongpob bought them breakfast when he came bac from his jog. He woke Arthit up with a kiss and they ate their breakfast before leaving to work. Arthit told Kongpob that he will send him to work. Kongpob declined Arthit's offer as he didn't want anyone to see Arthit sending him off to work. That will create unnecessary rumors and gossips but Arthit was adamant to which Kong finally gave up. Arthit drove happily to Kongpob's office "Baby, drop me at the corner near my office. I will walk from there. You don't have to send me at the entrance." "Why love? I can just drop you at the entrance. It's not far from the corner and you will have to walk a short distance if I send you there." "It's ok baby. I can walk and it's not that far. I just don't want anyone to see you and I don't want to have any gossip in the office saying some one dropped me. I told them that I'm still single. I don't want you to have any problem." Arthit would be lying if he said that he was not disappointed and sad after hearing what Kongpob said but he knows that's the best for both of them but how long will they have to hide all this. He could only nod to Kong. Kongpob knew Arthit was disappointed. He could see that in his eyes.

"I'm sorry baby. I didn't mean to tell them I'm single. It's just that I thought it will be more easier to handle things." Kongpob couldn't meet Arthit's eyes. Arthit parked the car at the corner near Kongpob's office. Arthit raised Kongpob by his chin to see him. "Look here Love. I know why you did all this. I know you did it for my good and I won't ask you anything about this. I love you very much to consider all this baby. What matters the most is that we are together. We can get through anything as long as we are together, holding hands like this." Kongpob felt proud at that moment for having such an understandable boyfriend ever. He couldn't ask for anything more or better because he has the best one with him. He hugged Arthit before leaving. "Baby, don't you think you are forgetting something." Kongpob turned to look at Arthit with a raised eyebrow. He knew what he missed when he saw Arthit pouting his lips so that Kong will give him his goodbye kiss. Kongpob leaned in and kissed Arthit which the latter deepen the kiss. Arthit nibbled on Kongpob's lower lips not wanting to leave him. Kongpob was lost in the kiss as the kiss was filled with assurance that everything will be ok between them. Kongpob pulled away and rested on Arthit's forehead. "I love you baby." "I love you too my darling." Kongpob gave Arthit a smile before getting out from the car. Little did they know that someone saw them together.

Kongpob was greeted by Tuta at the entrance. "Ooo.. Good morning little one. You walked to work today?" "Good morning P'. My friend dropped me at the corner since he was rushing so I walked from there P'."  Arthit drove straight to Knott's house to pick him up since he took a cab back home leaving the car with Arthit. Arthit called Kongpob once he reached the shooting spot but the one who answered the call was not Kongpob. It was a ladies voice. Arthit immediately cut the call without saying anything. 'Is she the one who sent Kongpob back home the other day? Why does she have his phone. I should not overthink about this. Maybe I should ask Kongpob about her but not now I think.' On the other hand, Earth saw Kongpob's phone ringing as he left his phone on the table in a rush when Prem called him to his office. She saw the caller ID 'My Baby❤️' . Earth wanted to know who the person was as Kongpob told them that he is single. But when she answered the call no one spoke and the call even got cut. She kept back the phone at the exact same place. When Kongpob returned to take his phone, Earth didn't tell him about the phone call. After finishing all his work for the day, Kongpob was about to leave the office when Earth stopped him. "N'Kong, wait up. Are you going back home." "Yes P'Earth. I just finished my work and I'm leaving work. Do you still have work P'?" "That's good then. I will send you back home." "It's ok P'. I can go back by myself." "It's ok Kongpob. I can send you. Let's go." Kongpob couldn't say no anymore so he followed Earth to her car.

Kongpob texted Arthit while he was in the car with Earth.

'My Baby❤️'

Kongpob: 'Are you back home baby'

Arthit: 'I just finished practicing for Big Mountain Festival with Nanon and I'm going back now Love. Are you back home?' 

Kongpob: 'I'm on the way back home too baby. You must be tired after practicing all day. Go back and sleep baby.'

Arthit: 'Okay my Love. Is M taking you back home?'

Kongpob: 'No. M is busy with work. My colleague is sending me back home today.'

Arthit: 'Tell your colleague to drive safe. My precious baby is in the car.'

Kongpob: 'Such a cheesy baby.'

Arthit: 'You love that don't you.'

Kongpob: 'I hate you. Bye'

Arthit: 'I love you too darling'

Earth saw Kongpob smiling while texting someone. She was sure it was the same person who called just now. "N'Kong. Someone called you just now. I answered the call for you but I forgot to tell you. The caller ID was written as My Baby with a heart but when I answered the call no one spoke." Kongpob face lost it's color. He didn't know what to tell her. He scolded himself for being so careless leaving his phone around. "Ummm.. It's my cousin P'." That was the only lie he could think of in such a short amount of time. "Ooo. You must be very close with your cousin that you save the name such way. I thought you lied to us that you are single." Kongpob just laughed it out but Earth knew that she was right. Kongpob was not single and he is hiding his lover. Earth dropped him off at his house and left. Kongpob didn't know what else he has to go through and how much longer he can hide the truth.
