AlanGaipa Story (Ending)

6

Alan entered the GYM building still with his sour face.
He approached Gong who was busy lifting weights with an energy drink bottle in his hand.

"You came late today, buddy." Gong greeted, still busy doing his workout session.

"I got home a little later," Alan replied and started warming up.

"I thought Gong was lying about you being into sports."

Alan turned his body around, looking at Wen who was already sweating.

"I feel tired easily these days, so Gong told me to exercise more often."

Alan nodded his head, he knew that. Wen had also been asking Alan to exercise for a long time, but Alan was stubborn.
Alan and Wen then rode the treadmill together, still chatting about Alan's body that felt tired easily these days. Wen also suggested some exercises for him to try. He said running from Jean's neighborhood to the market where Gaipa worked was good for Alan's body.

"You guys always find a way to tease me about using Gaipa," Alan said with a chuckle.

"Wen, can I ask you a question?"

Wen nodded his head, as long as he could answer it, of course.

"Do you think the environment where Mr. Jim and Gaipa live is too different from ours?"

Wen paused for a moment, thinking back to the differences between his and Jim's living environments.
Then, he nodded his head.
There were many differences between them.

"The whole time I was in Pattaya, it was only at Uncle Jim's house that I felt at home. Why, do you feel the same way?"

Asked back by Wen, Alan became a little hesitant to tell him what the problem was.

"What's wrong?" Wen asked again, curious.

"I don't know how to tell you, sorry."

Gong who heard their conversation just chuckled. Alan was crazy, but after all, were they old enough to have sex? Yes, let's call it a one night stand.

Alan kept his promise not to just disappear once again.
Gaipa still exchanges messages with him frequently, and the difficulty of their meeting at the moment is due to work rather than avoidance.
Even Gaipa, he also had other activities that made him forget about problems that didn't really need to be thought about.

"Good morning, Nong."

"Oh, Phi Jean."

The two greeted each other with sweet smiles.
This time, Jean did not come with her children. She left them with her grandmother, so that Jean could shop easily.

Jean was planning to buy chicken, but she would leave the chicken at Gaipa's stall first while she went around the market.
Fortunately, Gaipa was free so he offered to accompany Jean on his rounds while she chatted.

"It's like you've made the market your second home, isn't it?" Jean was amazed at how Gaipa knew almost all the vendors they passed by his stall.

"Most of them also live in my neighborhood, Phi."

Jean nodded her head in understanding, then she complimented Gaipa again who was familiar with people who were obviously much older than him. Jean rarely saw a youngster like Gaipa getting along with such elders.

"Nong, what do you think about Alan?"

Gaipa was a little surprised by Jean's question, then his face suddenly reddened when Jean explained further that Alan had told her about Gaipa.
It wasn't so much that he had, it was more like their regular conversation these days.
