Krist & Singto in The Practice Boyfriends (Completed)

The Practice Boyfriends: Chapter 10

The end of filming rolls around far too quickly and as usual Singto is sad to see it come.

On the last day, he ends up between Joss and Aye at the goodbye meal and both of them are giving him little looks that tell him that Krist must have been up to something again. So he slides over to Nam's side as soon as he can to see what's going on.

"P'Krist posted an IG of the cats staring out of the window. He captioned it 'Waiting for Papa' and his hand is in the shot with his bracelet and everything!"

She's grinning as she shows him the crazy group chat which has exploded with messages again and he finds himself skim reading over them, gasping at the insane amounts of money being bet on the events of the night to come.

"What should I do?" He asks her and she smiles.

"Tell Aye you're exhausted and can't wait to get into your own bed after two weeks away." He nods. "Tell Joss you are desperate for a cuddle with Muffin because we all know he'll agree with you there."

"And?"

"And.. well, now that Pleum is in on it too, tell him that you are really excited to see someone special and then clam up when he asks who."

Singto grins back at her, "And what will you be betting?"

Namtan's smile widens, "I'm going to be betting that P'Krist will pick you up from the bus."

"Oh!"

"Yes, so you can thank me later when you get your huge hug.. I know you've been missing it!"

"Have not.." Singto moans, sounding unconvincing even to his own ears.

"And you need to ask him out.. loudly.. in Aye and Joss' ear shot.. the we'll have.." she glances down at her phone and does a quick calculation, "112,000 Baht for the cats!"

Singto can't help the little thrum of excitement as he thinks about it - getting one over on Off and everyone who's been betting on them and.. and.. yeah.. the less said about the rest the better.

"I'm going to learn to date, Nam. Then I will be amazing at it and finally make my father happy that I'm in a committed relationship at last."

She nods and then turns away, smirking as she thinks about how Krist had 'sneaked out' of the hotel after his visit for Singto's birthday. It had been hilarious how many people had spotted him dashing through the lobby and out to his car.

But wisely, she says nothing and simply pats Singto on the shoulder and heads back to the group who are drinking in the lobby bar.

"Singtuan? Have you had a drink?"

Singto's eyes refocus as he stares at the two Krist's on the screen, better than the four Krist's he could see earlier, "No Nong just one."

"P'Sing? How many did you have?"

"Jus' one.. botttle.." Singto replies, swaying a little now on the sofa in the lobby.

"Where's everyone else, Phi?"

"Umm.. drinking and dancing I think.." he replies and then slumps to one side, head landing on the comfortable pillow near the arm of the sofa.

"You need some help. You know you can't handle your alcohol! Is there anyone there with you?"

Singto lifts his head briefly and then shakes it side to side as though clearing water from his ears, "Nope!"

"Then I'm calling for some help.. stay there and just.. well, don't wander off!"

Singto nods obediently and then closes his eyes as Krist grabs his phone and flicks to Nam's number.
