King's POV :

"Buzz buzz buzz"

Don't panic, it's not the sound of anybody crying. I just like to hum while I'm drawing. Yesterday I watched a cartoon and realized that Shin-chan can draw so why can't I, the God-King of engineering? Oh, I'm talented, proudly representing my parents and future partner.

"What're you doing King?", Bohn asked seeing the weird drawing I was working on.

We're sitting and studying, not though, we're just listening to the teacher who's reading from the slides. I'd rather study at home.

"I'm drawing"

This is the first thing I drew after so many years, I remember winning the gold medal in a drawing competition, I was in kindergarten at that time. My parents were very proud of my success. At that time I had to compete with two seniors, one of them gave up due to diarrhea and the other ate his colors, them I was announced as the winner.

"It just looks like some distorted design", My other close friend commented.

"It's art, Y'all have no art in your hearts and that is why you find everything ugly and defected"

"You need to be more like me, who sees beauty even on a dog's rough nose"

"Today I've to prepare things for the volunteer camp", My friend said and I nodded.

The volunteer camp that's mentioned is a reforesting camp in the North. The organizers have not decided where to go and now the signatures are almost full. They don't want to plant trees though. Yesterday my friend Tee made us all sign and then girls flocked to sign until the meeting room almost broke.

My name is King. I always get the best grades so I got the nickname "Than Thep King" in my faculty. I find it too long so I didn't like it at first but as time passed, I got used to it. I'm not hungry for power or a name. Is quite the opposite.

I'm not very organized and disciplined but I'm reasonable enough to know what to do and what not to do.

A man named King is a good person, a good student, and a good friend but will be a better husband if you marry him.

After all, I'm that King.

"How many days will this volunteer travel take?"

"And why do we've to be the ones doing all the work needed to organize? I'm tired before it even started", My friend asked.

In our second year, we slept in the university to prepare things. We didn't have to but we wanted to get the job done as quickly as possible. Reforesting doesn't sound like too much work when you look from afar but it needs too many background preparations like we need mosquito repellents, gloves, name tags, ropes, drinking water, etc.

"Maybe three to four days"

Looking out the window, the weather in Thailand is very hot to organize. I like hot air and everything natural.

"Do take that scissors"

Boss has used it to cut his foot's nails and nobody wants to use it anymore. I find it very dirty but have no choice because there are no scissors left.

Right now we're at the Gear Statue ( Larn Gear), to prepare things for the volunteer camp. Our group has reached a quorum.

I'm the leader, Boss is the main rep (always nagging), Bohn is the secondary rep ( always nagging #2), Tee is the leader too and then there is Mek.
