Vice Versa - the other end!

Hunting places

So, they got dressed and went hunting for places. No, neither Pakorn nor Tess got ideas as Peun or Talay got. But, I'll tell you this, that day was great. Tess started to see sides of Pakorn he never saw before. Yes, Pakorn was using some acting skills he learned while he played to be Puen on the other side.

Tess, on the other hand, who did nothing but messed up Talay's life, really tried to do something. He was sad and happy at the same time. Pakorn felt proud as he saw his friend reading and watching videos to learn what to do. 

In the evening when they met Up and Aou, they had a lot to share. With them, they could come up with a draft of how the story will flow. So, the day was indeed a well-spent one.

'I'll be off too' Pakorn said to Tess as Aou and Up were getting ready to leave. 

'We'll have a full week of lectures now, so let's get small pieces done until the next saturday' Aou said to all and left.

'You can stay here, if you are okay with it' said Tess to Pakorn

'Have lectures in the morning, so, better to go home' 

'I can drop you off early in the morning!' 

'Okay then' Pakorn followed Tess into his house, and they enjoyed the dinner with Tess's parents.

Tess was confused about where he had left his classes and was not sure where to start. So, he spent some time meddling with books as Pakorn made Tess sit still on the chair chuckling.

'Okay, Tell me what were the classes you were having before going to the other side' and Tess answered.

'How long have we missed school?' Tess followed Pakorn's questions

And, finally, Tess was able to figure out things and was so happy as Pakorn helped him get on the track. So, this excited boy got up and hugged Pakorn, and almost kissed him on the cheeks.

'hey hey... okay, you are welcome!' Pakorn jumped back laughing.

They went to bed happily. No worries anymore, no inverted realities, just back in their own bodies.

In the middle of the night, Tess was awakened by a noise. He first, thought it was a hum or a moan, and he switched on the bedside lamp to see Pakorn crying in his sleep. 

Tess tried to wake him up, but that only made the situation worse.

'I don't want to wake up. I don't want to go there and act. I can't, I don't, I hate' Pakorn kept mumbling.

'Hey, Hey, Pakorn... Hey, you don't have to act, wake up' Tess tried to wake Pakorn while shaking him by the shoulder but all Pakorn did was turn to Tess and hide his face on his chest.

'I want to go home. I miss my life' Pakorn continued to cry

'Pakorn, hey... you have your life now...' Tess ran his fingers through Pakorn's hair gently and spoke to him.

'Yeah, living there wasn't easy... Sorry I was so stupid that I couldn't keep that position as your manager, sorry I had to get away, I was reckless. But, now, everything is okay.' Tess kept talking and Pakorn seems to calm

'Hey... wake up now' Tess again tried shaking Pakorn and he slowly turned onto his side and sat on the bed.

Tess got up and gave Pakorn a glass of water as he sat leaning on the headboard hugging his knees.

'Sorry' He mumbled handing over the glass to Tess

'It wasn't easy, was it' Tess also leaned on the headboard close to Pakorn

Pakorn sighed. Tess also sighed and waited a few more minutes before checking the time.

'Hey, we still have a couple of hours to sleep, come on' Tess patted Pakorn's arm and slide inside the blankets. But Pakorn was still like that.

'Pakorn?' as Tess called him, he slowly lay on the bed. 

'Are you okay?' Tess turned to Pakorn.

'Can you hug me to sleep?' Pakorn asked in a broken voice. Tess didn't doubt the request and extended his arm so that Pakorn could keep his face on Tess's chest. 

Tess didn't know when he fell asleep, but he made sure that Pakorn fell asleep before he closed his eyes.
