Marriage Contract

[8]

Prem entered the bar to soon discover, sitting at its counter, the man whose entire body emitted an aura saying "Don't come close"-Arthit. Half an hour earlier, that brooding guy had called him only stating the name of the bar, causing him to wolf down his dinner then rush over to him. That guy's way of, doing things as he pleased, really made him quite troublesome to deal with.

Seeing Arthit already had two empty bottles beside him, he went over,
blocking the path of the drink the man held in his hand.

Lifting his eyes, Arthit saw the one who came beside him was Prem so he waved to call the bartender with the intention of getting the newly arrived man a glass, "Sit."

Prem sat down beside him, took a sip of his drink, propped up his chin with his hand then towards Arthit jokingly said, "Princess Oony, what happened? Tell us who hath done you wrong my Lord."

[T/n: He's making fun of our pouting Princess Oony FYI :)]

"Ha." Arthit Shot him a glance, coldly laughing as he asked,"Has it been too long since that Gongzi woo you?"

[T/n: Gongzi: (slang) Playboy/Player/Flirtatious man).]

"...." Prem sneered, "You're not cute at all"

"Right back at you." Arthit Took another swig of his drink.

When the grumpy one called him, Prem was just about to have his dinner. He guessed the grouchy man probably had not eaten as yet, so he got the barkeep to prepare a few dishes for him to snack on, before proceeding to question him some more, "Seriously, what happened? What got you so worried that you need to drink just to chase it away?"

Arthitstopped drinking, then next said, "Why are you blabbering on so
much?"

Prem chuckled, replying, "I'm just concerned about you, alright. Oh, by
the way, I heard Toota say you found that kid you fell in love with. He
even said you're planning to register your marriage to him. Tsk, tsk. Don't
you think that kid should now be called Erkang instead?"

[T/n: In, My Fair Princess, Oony was in love with a guy called, Fu Erkang but
Erkang was actually in love with another girl named Ziwei.]

Arthit paid no attention to his taunting, slowly drank from his drink, just saying, "Then Wad should be changed to Zhang Wuji, don't you think so Zhao Min?"

"Screw you, you jerk! You really know how to stab where it'll hurt. No wonder your family and that kid can't stand you. You deserve to be here all alone drinking your sorrows away." Prem rolled his eyes, placing his hand atop Arthit's head, wondering whether he should pat or smack that bad-tempered and difficult guy.

[T/n: Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min are characters from the novel, The Heaven
Sword and the Dragon Saber. They were rivals turn lovers. Zhang Wuji had a few women in his life including Zhao Min, so you can imagine why Prem got angry with the comparison. ]

Arthit, "Oh, shut up."

Prem did shut up, but only for a little while, then he had to ask, "What about that kid? Why didn't you give us a chance to get to know him?"

"Why is it any of your business?" Arthit stated.

"None of my business? You're the one who called me all the way out here
tonight!" Prem huffed, "Anyway...I actually wanted to meet up with
you. You know, you can't hide out here in the bar forever, right?"

"I'm okay with it." Arthit, persisted.

[T/n: this line "I'm okay with it" lit. translates to "I'm happy to" it was
changed for context but keep the lit. version in mind as you read on.]
