~To Be Together~
(Back to the present)
Unknown POV:
“Do not make a scene! All you have to do is blend it and complete your task. They won’t know what hit them.” I smirked as I disconnected from the voice.
(End of POV)
Everyone raised their glasses to congratulate Zee on his 28th birthday. The band started to play the “Happy birthday'' song and everyone joined it to sing. New sang along with a cheerful disposition.
New couldn’t keep his eyes away from Zee. After learning his name, New couldn’t wait to be introduced to the handsome man. New somewhat knew that sooner or later, his father was going to call him and Kuea to be introduced to the Leader of Chiang Rai. And that meant, seeing Zee up close. The beating of his heart started to become irregular and his face became hot and flushed as he thought about it.
“Hia! Are you ok? Why are you hot? Do you have a fever? Are you feeling unwell? Phi Porche, help!” Kuea became frantic when he realised that his older brother could be sick, using the back of his hands to check New’s temperature. Porche, who was standing near-by was beside New in no time, following Kuea’s actions.
“Oh no! Ai’New, are you ok?” Nat’s facial expression was unreadable as he tried to sound sincerely worried for his friend. Nat had to play dumb as he knew what his friend was thinking about, and he definitely was one hundred percent certain that New was not sick!
“Nu, I’m ok. Just a bit hot is all. Phi, no worries. I’m not sick. I’m ok!” New tried to compose himself, glaring at his friend who was watching in amusement.
“Are you sure, cause I don’t want to tell dad that you fainted or something. He’s going to introduce us to the Panich family soon.” Kuea announced innocently, not knowing what was going on in his brother’s mind.
“Ohh! So you’re going to meet. So soon, and you’re already meeting the in-laws. How nice.” Nat’s expression held mockery, and it was aimed at his best friend. New who was trying to calm down, became even more flushed and red. His eyes were twitching, wondering why his friend was tormenting him.
“Ai’Nat, walk with me to the toilet!” New pulled Nat’s arm, jerking the shorter boy far away from everyone, who were standing in confusion.
“Are you getting me back for being late today? Because I already said I was sorry. Please forgive me. From now on, whenever we meet, I will always be early.” New was holding onto Nat’s hands, to show how remorseful he was.
Nat smiled as he looked at his friend, then gave him a hug. They knew each too well, that they knew what the other was thinking. Nat was indeed getting New back for being late. He had to come inside the ball by himself, even though he came with his parents. Then he had to anxiously move around people he didn’t know to find a table, then he had to watch everyone chatting and laughing, while he sat alone, waiting for his friend. So yeah! He was getting even. But he of course forgave New the moment he felt his hug. So he was just being an annoying friend, who was trying to be funny.
“I was getting you back. But I’ve also forgiven you. I’m just being silly.” Nat spoke with a smile, still hugging New. “But meung, you are giving yourself away. Your ears are as red as Nu Kuea’s suit. You must really like him, right?” Nat pulled away from the hug, now speaking to his friend.
“I don’t know why this always happens. It’s silly, but I can’t help it.” New admitted to his friend. New confidently told Nat his feelings, knowing that Nat would take it to his grave.
“When I think about meeting him soon, my heart just starts to beat uncontrollably. Is this normal?”
“Oh my dear friend. What you are experiencing is totally normal. It means you must really like him. He’s lucky.” Nat announced proudly. His friend was a great catch, not because he was rich, but because he knew his friend was a good person.
“Let’s go back, before Phi Porche comes with the whole brigade.” New smiled, as he recalled a situation involving just that.
Nat and New walked hand in hand back to the table, with Kuea now gone. Porche walked up to New.
“Khun New, Khun Kuea has been escorted to Sir Perdpiriyawong’s table. I am here to do the same. Please follow me.”
“Phi, Nat is coming as well.” New said this, already pulling his friend.
“Meung, I won’t be able to do this alone. You have to be there with me.” New whispered to Nat.
“Sure, please follow me.” Porche walked ahead, leading the way.

I'll be uploading more this week, as I have a week off.
The next chapter may involve some action but I won't spoil too much.
