Together forever (PatPran/Ohmnanon/BadBuddySeries)

Only one chapter

PRAN POV

"Oh man, your dad is a real tool. He really can't learn to work together with you? Shit, It's been years" I could hear Waii ask Pat as I stood in my kitchen, trying not to look at his obnoxiously charming face, but I grudgingly turned and glanced at it anyway, only to find Pat winking at me.

We've come a long way to be sitting here with Korn and Waii without fighting each other. And to be honest, it only really stopped after we graduated from university. The two had partnered up in ownership of the bar Waii used to work at as well as lecturing at the university, and you could guess which faculty they each belonged to.

Looking back at it now, I can never quite forget the day we found out about their secret friendship.

Flashback to two years ago

We'd just graduated, but I'd already gotten a job offer at an interior design company in Singapore, for which I had to reside there for 6 months before being transferred to the company back in my hometown, but that didn't stop Pat from being a grade A annoyance in my life, but not really. Though I liked it a lot, it was like we were in a relationship and in my mind I pictured it a million times. There were so many moments we shared back in university and even as far back as high school that I was sure this fool liked me back, but I wasn't sure if he felt the same or not and I was scared shitless to find out, so I just kept quiet about it and enjoyed the way he's always treated me. It hurt a lot, yes, but at least he was still in my life in some way, especially since it hurt the most when we were once forced apart for three years with no guarantee that we'd ever see each other again. It was the scariest and loneliest time of my life. One of which I would never want to experience again.

And now that I've returned home for good, I couldn't wait to meet up with Pat for drinks later. He promised to pay and I couldn't miss a chance to be spoiled. We finally had time out of our busy schedules and were visiting home, ironically, at about the same time. 

"What are you doing?" I asked, lying down on my bed with crossed arms as I watched him climb in through my bedroom window, secretly amused, wondering when he would hurt himself one day doing that. He probably thinks he is invincible or something.

"Are you really back for good?" he said, ignoring my question.

"You could have just phoned to ask me that," I said, raising my brow.

"True, but that's for normal people," he deadpanned as he plopped himself down on my bed. I nodded, looking him up and down before sitting up.

"That depends. Did you miss me? " I said 

"I always miss you," he said, giving me the same look he'd given me a million times before and just like that. It felt like time had slowed down. Could he not be so honest? For once, could he tell me no so that I wouldn't feel this way anymore for my peace of mind. How have I not lost my mind before.

"W-well, you know, it's late and my mom might see you here. Maybe you should go. I'll meet you at the bar later," I said, stumbling over my words before hearing him sigh.

"You know, I don't actually give a fuck," he declared loudly, and I quickly moved to cover his mouth, but he moved my hands away again.

"Pat!" I whispered/yelled at him.

"I'm serious, Pran. They can find out about our friendship for all I care. I'm already on thin ice with my father, and we haven't spoken properly in a while. He saw the postcards and well he knows now. We fought a lot about it, and I moved out a month ago into an apartment. "As he said this, I tried to register everything he was saying.
