The Story of Us💕

13

The room was astonishingly quiet, Fluke saw his good friend in this situation, and didn't know how to speak to comfort him. The two were silent for a long time, Fluke broke the silence.

"Prem, do you really think that P'Boun's care and consideration for you all the time are fake?"

"Isn't it..?"

"As a bystander, I can see and hear very little. The real thing is to rely on your own heart to understand."

"Before, I often had the illusion that P'Boun liked me. Otherwise, why would he care so much about what I said and what I did. He would also pay attention to what I like to eat and what I don't like to eat."  When Prem said this, he showed a wry smile.  "If it wasn't for me knowing that he doesn't like boys, I really wanted to tell him more than once that I like him."

"Prem, I think P'Boun might not be that bad. He announced that you are his boyfriend in front of everyone, what good does it do him? let you be misunderstood as gay by everyone? no girl likes you anymore? but the same trouble will also bring to him himself."

"I don't know either..."

"If he just wants to get back at you, he has achieved his goal. Why should he continue to look for you?"

"Ah. I don't want to think anymore, the more I think about it, the more I feel headache."

Prem stayed in Fluke's dormitory.

Boun lost sleep all night, although he knew that Prem would not come back tonight, but he still waited with a glimmer of hope. Boun didn't see Prem until training the next afternoon.

When Prem saw Boun, he couldn't help feeling sour. But he just wanted to pretend as if nothing had happened and avoid it. Boun looked at Prem, opened his mouth, but didn't know how to speak.

The two seem to pass their training time peacefully. Prem took the slowest shower as usual, and Boun dawdled in the locker room for a long time. The other team members were used to it, just thought the two of them made an appointment to eat together as usual.

When Prem came out, he saw an empty locker room, only Boun packed his things and sat on a chair. Suppressing the sadness in his heart, Prem turned his back and began to pack his things.

"Prem..." Boun spoke slowly while standing behind Prem. It's just that there was no response for a long time, as if he had never spoken.

"Prem, I'm sorry."

"No need to say sorry."

"No. Really, I regret what I said yesterday. I'm sorry."

"I said, don't be sorry, you just returned what I did to you."

"No. Prem, listen to me."

"Okay, then you explain." Prem finally turned around and stared into Boun's eyes with a calm tone but sharp eyes.

"I..." Boun hesitated for a long time, not knowing how to explain his behavior.

"Don't you want to explain? Then I'm leaving." Prem picked up his bag and turned to leave.

Boun stepped forward and grabbed Prem's wrist.

"No. Prem, believe me, what I said yesterday was really not intentional, I didn't want to revenge you."

"Actually, you already remember who I am, don't you?"

"Yes..." Boun met Prem's disappointed eyes, and frowned unconsciously.

"When?"

"Before school started, I saw your photo in the coach's office." Boun paused, and then explained awkwardly: "I admit that when I saw your photo at that time, I really wanted to revenge you. But after we met, I don't have this kind of thought soon. I really want to be friends with you, I really like... like you as a friend."

Prem gave a wry smile. Actually, after he figured it out last night, he already believed that Boun befriended him not out of revenge. How much he wished what Boun said just now was, I really like you, not I really like you as a friend.

"Prem, don't be like this, or you can hit me, as long as you can relieve your anger."

"Will hitting you solve the problem?"

"Then how about I post on IG now to clarify that we are not a couple, I was the one who spoke nonsense that day, I publicly apologize to you, is that okay?"

"Are you a star? Publicly deny the scandal and apologize publicly?"

"Then what do you want me to do, you say, I will definitely do it." Boun also encountered difficulties, and now he only wants Prem to forgive him, and he is willing to try any method.

"Well... At least treat me to a fancy meal." Prem said with a smile.

"No problem! Is one meal enough, or ten meals?" Boun finally relaxed his eyebrows and smiled happily. "Let's go and eat now. What do you want to eat? How about going to the barbecue restaurant you like? Or go to the Chinese restaurant last time, where the shrimp is big."

Prem looked at Boun took his hand and walked out while talking. It was as if that incident had never happened, and the relationship between the two was the same as before.

Prem is not angry with Boun anymore, although Boun regards him as a good friend and there is no other possibility, but he still wants to stay with Boun and be Boun's friend. So he would rather not clarify, so that others can continue to think that they are a real couple, so it is self-deception and self-satisfaction.

Although Prem doesn't say anything, Boun will still get along with Prem carefully, not sure if Prem really forgives him. Afraid that he might say the wrong thing, or that he might say too much, Boun didn't look like Boun at all.

Prem also knew that there was some tension between them. Boun was in the wrong mood and state, so was he.

"Boun, stay after training." The coach said with a dark face.

"Okay." Boun was slightly nervous.

"Phi, what's the matter?" Prem couldn't help asking.

Boun turned around and smiled, and told Prem a few words, "Don't wait for me. Go to eat yourself."

Boun has been the coach's favorite since he came to Kasetsart University. Others were cursed by the coach, but he treated Boun with a doting face, and allowed him to arrange his time freely without training, and even gave Boun the key to the swimming pool alone. It was the first time to see the coach's attitude towards Boun, and everyone knew that something was wrong.

Prem went to eat by himself and then went back to the dormitory. After waiting for a long time, Boun did not return to the dormitory. He couldn't resist calling Boun, but no one answered.

Prem began to fidget and called several times in a row but there was no response. He began to feel anxious, fearing that something might happen to Boun, and decided to go back to the swimming pool.

Seeing a light at the entrance of the swimming pool from a distance, Prem felt relieved, Boun should still be in the swimming pool. He trotted a few steps into the door, but the surroundings were quiet, and there was no sign of Boun. Prem saw Boun's team jacket by the pool, his heart tightened, and he quickly looked for Boun in the pool.

Using the lights around the pool, Prem caught a glimpse of someone sinking at the bottom of the pool. In a hurry, he had no time to take off his shoes. He plunged into the water and swam toward the man.

Prem swam closer to see Boun's legs folded and knees bent, and his hands held his legs in front of his chest, diving into the water in this curled position.

Boun felt someone approaching, opened his eyes and saw Prem swimming towards him, his face full of disbelief. Holding the hand that Prem stretched out, the two of them swam to the surface of the water together.
