Marriage Contract

[19]

From then on, Kongpob would go to Apinya's place for his acupuncture treatment, and unless he was otherwise too busy to leave his work, Arthit would accompany him there as well.

Arthit had been quite swift in his learning of the massage techniques,
so much so, that Apinya lauded him and even hinting he possessed a natural talent for it. This praise resulted in Arthit showing a rarely ever
seen modest face, while Kongpob, who was beside them, rolled his eyes
internally. Arthit has not one ounce of "natural talent"! It's all because
of his "training "!!

That same day, after class, while Kongpob, Aim and the other guys
went downstairs, Wad proposed, "I heard there's a new buffet that
opened in Dongmen, so why don't we all find some time to go eat there. All
of us should eat a delicious meal before our exams begin!"

"Why not tomorrow?" Aim suggested.

"Yeah! We're all a bunch of single fellas anyways." Oak chimed in.

"That's not true. Kongpob here has a significant other" Tew said,
correcting him.

[T/n : Significant other - Originally it referred to a member of the immediate family and here it specifically refers to Kongpob's "wife"]

"Kong, you should bring our sister-in-law along. You already rush back home everyday to make dinner, it's like you've been whipped!" Aim added.

[T/n : whipped - lit. Wife's slave]

"Exactly! And the worst part is, you haven't even let us meet them yet!" Oak
whined.

Kongpob having a partner was something all the dorm brothers had known about, after all, he had already moved out for a while now. But from the
beginning, they had all believed it was a cute, young lady.

Seeing them in such high spirits, Kongpob unexpectedly found himself
feeling the opposite. Thinking about it for a while, he then said, "I'll ask him if
he has some free time after I go back tonight, work has been quite busy for
him in the last few days."

[T/n: he/him (tb-tā) and her/she (tb-tā) sound the same. Kongpob said "he" but
they assume "her"]

"Sister in law is working already?" Tew said in awe.

"Wait, so it turns out she's really a mature-sexy woman, and not a cute,
young girl?" Wad questioned.

"It's no wonder then.." Aim thought, pointedly looking the traces of red
lining Kongpob's neck, "That Big Sis is a bit fierce, isn't she!"

Those, aforementioned, marks on his neck were left by Arthit the night
before. Ever since the two consummated their relationship, that man was no
different than a dog as he made all manner of marks on Kongpob's body. It
was almost as if he was using his teeth to write "Master Arthit" all over the lad's skin.

With his ears tinting red, Kongpob coughed lightly to mask his
embarrassment, he then pulled up his shirt's collar, only saying, "It's actually
not an older woman."

"It's not an older woman?" Oak asked, "So...is she a cute girl then?"

"l'm just gonna say, Kongpob doesn't look like the type who'll like older--"

"Um, he's a man." Kongpob interrupted them.

"What the fuck?!!"

All shouted in shock.

Every single one of them collectively became silent. Kongpob looked at the astonished looks drawn on all of their faces in satisfaction, his mood was now especially pleasant, "i'll ask him when I get back then give you guys the answer, okay? I'll leave first." He said and left in a different direction, as the school's gate and the dormitory were not the same way.
