The rojanapat house was filled with chattering and laughters of all the guests gathered, some sitting by the garden while some wandering around the house, meanwhile others had found thesemselves comfortable corners to sit in

The waiters moved all over the house, serving snacks and drinks to the guests, it was a busy day

Arthit was outside, in the garden, greeting a few guests while they waited for kerkarai and his family to arrive

It was the official day of arthit and Kongpob's wedding discussion, the date, the occasions, the plans, everything would be finalised today

"It's a rather special day, please, don't mess it up" john whispered in arthit's ear

Arthit only nodded in response when he heard their servant yell, the long awaited guests have reached

As instructed by his father, arthit held the door open for kongpob when he stepped out of the car, with his cheeks a light shade of pink

Arthiy greeted Mr kerkarai before turning back to kongpob, asking the other if he needed something, which wasn't in the script

"Can you tell me where the washroom is? Or maybe just ask any of your servants to guide me?" Kongpob asked awkwardly

Oh yes, arthit could very easily call one of his servants for the job, but seeing how uncomfortable kongpob could get with strangers, arthit decided otherwise

"You can just follow me" arthit replied

Kongpob nodded before following the other through the crowd, until they reached to a silent hallway

"There, go in and take a right, I will be here waiting" arthit informed

"Thanks" kongpob replied before he walked away

Arthit watched him leave and that was when he noticed what kongpob was wearing, it made him look mesmerizing

The black shirt with the top two buttons undone with the midnight blue coat over it, Tha tight fitted pants and his shiny black shoes, he looked just perfect

What am I even thinking? Arthit asked himself as he shrugged off his thoughts

"So are the boys okay with the dates fixed?" Kerkarai asked with a proud smile

"Yes uncle, I'm okay with it" arthit replied with a small smile

"I'm okay with it too dad" kongpob replied, his smile a bit shy

"Perfect then, engagement two days after and the wedding a week later!" John cheered

The announcement was followed by huge rounds of applause by the guests, clinking of glasses and lot more of gossips

The boys were left alone to enjoy the party while their fathers accompanied the other buisnessmen, immediately getting involved in talking

"You wanna go outside? It will be quieter in the backyard" arthit suggested

"Yes please" kongpob replied, feeling suffocated

The duo slowly and silently slipped away from between the guests as they made their way to the backyard which was indeed nearly empty and much quieter

Kongpob took in a deep breath, letting out a huff before smiling at the sky until he felt arthit's direct stare on his face

"Is something wrong?" Kongpob asked getting conscious

"I'd like to be your friend, nothing more, nothing less" arthit replied absent mindedly

The words did wonders on the junior, they broke his heart, they made him smile and they tingled all over body

"Will you be my friend? Get comfortable with me, after all we have to live together after a week" arthit chuckled humorlessly

"Yea..sure" kongpob replied, feeling more awkward than he already was, or was it nervousness?

Arthit passed him a smile before he began to walk and so did kongpob, right beside him

"You are rather good looking, never had a girlfriend or a boyfriend?" Arthit asked curiously

Kongpob shook his head, his eyes fixed on the ground, the blush never leaving his cheeks

"Because you are way too shy?" Arthit asked

Kongpob nodded wordlessly, it's not that he didn't want to talk, he was just surprisingly very nervous

Arthit nodded to himself, not finding any other topic to talk on, the both continued to have a silent, afternoon walk

"So, I heard you both spent the whole afternoon together" john said

Arthit hummed in response, his eyes stuck on his phone

"Did you like him?" John asked hopefully

"He and I will make great friends, if he talks more" arthit replied

John felt his heart at content, although it might sound like a disapproval but such words from arthit were better than an actual 'I love you'

"That's good to know" john said grinning, not being able to hold it back

"I'm happy about you and arthit, no matter how much I think about it, there is nothing thar could go wrong" kerkarai said

"What if we don't make it in the marriage?" Kongpob asked softly

"Did he say something to you, son?" Kerkarai asked, crease of worry on his forehead suddenly forming

"No dad, I was just pointing out a possibility, he didn't sat anything" kongpob replied

Kerkarai let out a sigh of relief before smiling at his son

"I'm sure you would, who wouldn't fall in love with my very perfect son?" Kerkarai chuckled

Kongpob smiled at him, rather weakly

Maybe someone who already has his perfect one kongpob thought

I purple you 💜
