Marriage Contract

[20]

After finding out Kongpob and Arthit were together, Aim and the others often saw a glint of adoration within Kongpob's eyes. Before, after their classes were done, they had always pulled the lad aside to chat with
him a bit more; but now, at the end of their classes, they would instead wave
him away-ushering him to leave quickly, just so Arthit would not have
to wait for too long. Kongpob was so amazed by this that he had given them
the title "The Three Henchmen", which those same three accepted with a
hearty laugh, further giving the couple their wishes for a long and happy life
together.

Taking advantage of his lack of classes because his semester was coming to
an end, Kongpob received a few small games and websites to design, and
after he was done, he again deposited the small amount of cash into his bank
account.

Presently, there was less than half a month until his winter vacation, so he
hurriedly finished his business before going off to the mall with the intention
of buying a few things for his grandfather.

Kongpob's home town was located close to the northern part of the country,
so come winter, it got very cold. Following his arrival to the City to attend
university, he would gift his grandfather a newly purchased set of down
jackets as well as other winter clothing, and this year was no different. Done
with buying Grandpa's clothes and boots, Kongpob did not leave the mall
right away, choosing to go up to the premium men's clothing section on the
fourth floor instead.

He was well aware of Arthit having quite a lot of clothes, but he also
knew the man did not have any scarves since all of the scarves currently
within their cupboard belonged to him. In addition to that, the man also did
not wear turtlenecks, so every time Kongpob caught sight of him going out
he would feel cold instead.

Kongpob planned to buy the man a couple of scarves so as to keep him from
freezing, But considering Arthit's high-class taste, not to mention his
sharp tongue, ordinary scarves would be disliked by him for sure, and after
passing through several stores Kongpob still could not find any that were
suitable.

By the time Kongpob has strolled through the majority of the fourth floor he had already given up hope. He simply found himself a seat to plop himself
down on and take a rest, intending to go check out some other places after a
while.

I wonder what Arthit's doing... He's probably busy at work, right? Kongpob thought to himself as his gaze remained fixed on the bustling crowd passing in and out of a couturier clothing store.
After sitting for a while, he took out his phone and sent Arthit a message.

--Princess Oony, what're you doing?

The message he sent to Arthit did not receive an immediate response
so Kongpob just figured he was busy, paying it no mind. Having rested
enough, he got on his feet planning to change locations. With only a couple
steps taken, he came to sudden halt, his gaze locked onto the window display of a men's wear store.

There, hanging on the mannequin, was a grey scarf.

Perhaps it was because of the similarity the model's frame and coat bore to
Arthit which caused the feeling of "being surrounded by Arthit" to rise up within Kongpob, perhaps it was something else. Regardless, kongpob still decided on that scarf the instant his eyes fell upon them-having not the slightest bit of hesitance-as he went into that store.

Apart from the one worn by the mannequin shown on the outside, that store had many tasteful scarves inside as well, therefore Kongpob bought two
scarves he selected according to Arthit's usual style. As he was paying,
Arthit had replied to his earlier message, and in taking a look at the message, Kongpob inevitably laughed.

--So your husband is someone you're unwiling to give a call, huh? I'll have to
teach you later tonight.

After he slashed his card and took his bag with the bought scarves, Kongpob
left the store, sending Arthit a message in reply soon after.
