Pete's POV

"Humm, it really smells good, Pete." Khun Sanya smells the scent of the herbs on my neck and comments still a little in disbelief "...but If I were an insect, I'd be attracted to this scent, not the opposite. I would bite you! Maybe it is your natural scent" He smiles kindly to me.

"My natural scent?" I sniff his neck. "No! It's the same smell! Those herbs are really fragrant. You can trust me, Sanya." I turned him to scrub the herbs on his back. "...with these herbs, you won't be bitten by insects."

"Whatever you say, I'll do it! I don't want to be sucked in by any bugs. Let me help you with your back."

I turn around, and Khun Sanya helps me by scrubbing the herbs on my back.

Khun Sanya starts to laugh.

"What is it?"

"I'm sorry, Pete. But I'm just imagining something funny."

"Which is?"

"What would Nong Vegas think if he saw me scrubbing your back...we both bathing together in the moonlight..."

"Vegas? Uh...I'm sure everything would be fine."

I'm lying. Vegas wouldn't bother thinking about a reason. He would just shoot you...and probably I would be punished the whole night...in chains.

"Are you sure? He shot your friend point blank in my hotel over a misunderstanding."

Good point.

"Ow...that...?! Vegas understood he acted on impulse based on nothing."

"And I bet he didn't regret it...good thing he's not seeing us now."

I felt relieved about that too.

Come to think of it...if it was Vegas and Nong Yim, or any other person, I would also shoot first and ask questions later.

"SPLASH"

"Hey!"

"I bet you're thinking too much." Khun Sanya splashes water in me.

I counterattack, obviously. Two kids playing in the water. He is a good-humored guy. Who would guess it? It makes me laugh.

"Khun Sanya, let's go. We've been exposed here for a long time."

"Okay, you're right. Let's go then."

...

We were trying to find the spot where we had planned to sleep. It was dark and we took the wrong path. I managed to make a small torch but it would go out soon.

I go ahead. Sanya right behind.

"You know, Pete...I was kidnapped, but I feel so free by your side. Funny, isn't it? I've never done these things before. I feel like some parts of my youth have been stolen."
