Destined

chapter 09

Days flew quickly and tomorrow is their wedding. Their parents are the ones who planned and handled it all.

Nothing actually happened on the last month. Except that they are now sharing a bed. Yes. They sleep together as per the younger's request.

And even though Win wanted to complain, the younger would just remind him about their company issues. And maybe, Win also accepted his feelings for the younger. Yes. He accepted the fact that he likes Team but he would never say it to the nong.

He doesn't really know how it happened. Whenever they were on a date, he would find himself smiling at the younger's cuteness. He would find himself laughing at the nong's stupid jokes. And he would find himself admiring the beauty of his fiance. At last, he realize his feelings for Team.

"Hia, hey." Win got back to the reality when he heard the voice of his fiance.

They were currently at the school canteen. He was waiting for his girlfriend but Ploy called and informed him that she has family matter to settle. He didn't hear any complain from the younger about his girlfriend. Team would ask him to a date sometimes whenever he's free and when he's on a date with his girlfriend, Team didn't really care.

Win feels like he's an asshole. Dating two people is his thing but it feels so wrong to do it with Team.

What's so special about him anyway?

"Hey." He felt a tap on his shoulder and he saw his fiance looking at him worriedly. "Are you okay?"

"Uh, y-yeah i'm good. Are you saying something?"

"I'm asking if you want to join me to eat outside? I don't really like the food here. But if you have a date, i can go alone."

Win look at Team and he saw him smile. He's glad the younger understand his situation. But sometimes, he can't help but to think that the younger is faking it all and actually has a plan. He doubt it though, maybe he just watched too many dramas.

"Sure, let's eat outside. Ploy won't be able to eat with me, anyway."

The ride towards the restaurant is quiet. Both are thinking about their marriage the next day but only one of them is nervous, realizing that he'll finally get married but not to his girlfriend.

The atmosphere in the car is tense. One is too prideful to start a conversation and one is enjoying the view, sighing from time to time.

It was when the younger heaved a deep sigh that makes Win talk. "Hey, what's with sighs?"

Team finally glanced at him. "Just thinking of something."

Win chuckles. "Mind sharing what it is?"

"Nothing really, just thinking of you naked in my bed."

Win blushes. "Hey!! that's not what you suppose to think about your phi!"

The younger chuckles, endeared by the reddish tint covering the older's cheeks. He didn't know why he said that, he just blurts it out. He was actually thinking of a way to solve the issue Wanichakarnjonkul's company as soon as possible.

He knows that the longer he stays with Win, the longer he'll hurt himself. He maybe love the older, but Win's heart already belong to the daughter of their opponent company.

"I'm just kidding, it's fun to see your reaction."

"You're talking as if you didn't overreact when the cockroach flew towards you. You even threaten it that you'll call the police if it won't get off of you."

Team pouts, feeling his cheeks heat up. "That cockroach just startled me. He suddenly fly towards anywhere. He thought he's a butterfly but no!"

The older chuckles at the childishness of the younger, feeling the mood lighten.

They arrived at the restaurant and started eating immediately. The tension earlier came back, reminding them that they'll be husbands tomorrow.

Team is the one who broke the silence this time, "I know it's hard to marry someone you don't have feelings for."

Win lift his head to look at his fiance but the younger keep his head low, suddenly interested in the food. The older keeps quiet, urging Team to continue.

"You don't have to worry though, i'll make sure you'll have your freedom once the company issues are settled. I'm not that bad, i'll give you the happiness you deserve."

Win didn't know what to say. The younger's words surprised him. He might not be showing it but he's happy whenever he's with the nong.

He doesn't know what to feel, actually. It feels like he's already falling for his fiance yet he don't want to let go of his girlfriend, convincing himself that he still love her.

After a while, the younger speak once again. "We're almost done recovering the company so i'll be out of your life before you know it."

The younger smiled,

but it didn't reach his eyes.

And it's because of him.

They finished their lunch with silence. It wasn't awkward though, it's almost like comforting silence if Win didn't think about the younger leaving him after the company mess.

And if he didn't realize his true feelings about the nong.

Win is in love with Team.
