SPACE : Dreamcatcher

EP 7: NO SPACE

 King's POV :

"Your condo, yes... a luxury condo which is next to the mall?", I asked and Ram nodded.

While talking to him it's like a conversation between a savage who lives in an underdeveloped country and an urban person from a developed country. It's difficult to talk to him but Thep King likes challenges.

"Use signs to reply to me then", I mumbled to myself.

Looking out of the window, it's still raining, but it appears to be heavier now. My clothes still feel damp. They haven't dried up yet.

Where is the fan when you need it?

The corner of my mouth raised to smile, laughing at myself. I look like a puppy who fell into the water.

"Do you normally take the bus or it's just on the rainy days?", I asked but got no answer.

I think his condo is near to the university but not very close, should take him about twenty-thirty minutes if he opt to walk instead.

Should I try to walk back to condo next time? I want to exercise but I don't want to join a gym. Confused.

If I go to the gym then I might get healthy, but will have to exchange it within the car fuel, the membership fee, the entrance fee, and that is a lot.

On the other hand, if I walk back to the condo, I can exercise, get good health and will be able to see the view by the river, bridge, temple as if coming to tour without paying a baht. It may be a little tiring and sweaty but it is worth the experience.

Shit!

"Hey...Hey"

I wondered what I was going to do so I accidentally let go of the hand that held Ram's sleeve. Just a moment ago, I almost fell if not for the boy beside me who held my arm.

"--"

He frowns a little but didn't say anything. I tried to decipher his expression and it's like he looked at me to say "Why not hold it tightly, you fool". I don't know if I read it right or not.

"We still have time. Do you want some help with the work?", I asked and he furrowed his eyebrows.

He can't do it himself but won't ask for help. Is this some kind of disease?

"--"

He took out his work from a waterproof bag. Well, he was prepared for rain. If you forget the umbrella, you can use the bag instead. He was ready, unlike me.

I accepted the sheet from his hand and looked down to check. I think he needs to improve his handwriting first. I swear these foreigners make two circles next to each other to write number 8. I didn't say anything because it was his personal choice. But mister Ram has written it like a colon.

"A'Ning your handwriting is awesome", I laughed before turning the page.

He learns quite quickly though because I just taught him once but I think he did well due to Thep King's teaching.

"Fuck!", I exclaimed when the bus turned to avoid something.

I heard the driver cursing someone, "Driving like he's driving in an open field. Can't you see the bus in front of you!!!"

"Thank you....again", I said as he already helped me twice.

Ram grabbed my waist to keep me from falling to the ground. If he didn't do it then I might have hurt myself badly.
