A Triple Affair (KxLxR-UN)

Chapter 12

Lop walked and sat on a chair in the pavilion behind the house to wait for the time to have breakfast with the others. Kit and Ruj hadn't come out yet. Lop sat and thought of Kom's words previously spoken. It's not that Lop doesn't feel the way his two friends approach him. But Lop tried not to pay attention, not to think too much despite his heart beating fast every time Kit and Ruj came closer to him or did something for him. Lop said to himself not to misunderstand his friends. But Lop was worried as both his friends approached Lop together. Kit and Ruj, both took good care of him in their own ways but both had a special place in his heart. If he were asked to choose one of them as number 1, he would not be able to choose.

"Ai Lop, didn't you go to send Baiboon to school today?" Ruj walked in with Kit and asked Lop before sitting next to him  As for Kit, he sat opposite to him making Lop startle a little.

“Mmm...I didn't go. Brother Kom will send him himself," Lop replied, avoiding the gazes of Kit and Ruj who were looking at him. Lop hurriedly moved to stand because he felt that his heart was not normal.

“Why are you standing up?” Kit asked in a calm voice.

"Uh... sitting for a long time, so my back hurts. The two of you sit down," Lop replied in a hesitant voice. Who would dare say when Kit and Ruj sat side by side, he felt embarrassed?

"What is it?" Ruj asked worried. Lop swallowed his saliva down his throat. Even though he felt embarrassed but Lop felt stressed as well when he saw the eyes of his two friends who looked at Lop with such deep eyes

“Nah, it's nothing. I think I'd better go and meet Aunt Nee first. Just in case the food is prepared already, I'll help her bring it here," After saying that, Lop hurriedly walked away. Kit and Ruj turned to look at each other confused.

“What do you think it is?” Ruj asked.

“I think he's probably in confusion about whom to choose between the two of us,” Kit replied, as he could see Lop's expression.

“Well, I think so too,” Ruj replied as he thought the same.

“I think he is a bit stressed these days because the two of us approach him so openly and then attack him together. It's not strange if he's overthinking," Ruj said as he thought.

“Well, let's continue to push it. Wait for the day when he can't tolerate it and decides to talk with the two of us. That day, we will talk about this with him openly," Kit replied and Ruj nodded in agreement before inviting each other to follow Lop.

“Let's just pick up this one. You go take the tray and put it on the side dish." Ruj walked and took the basket from Lop.

“I can lift it,” Lop said back.

"It's heavy,  here you can lift a light one," Kit said in a deep voice along with raising the tray to put the rice for Lop.

"I'm not a weak person," Lop shouted immediately but didn't take him too seriously.

“That mouth, don't argue too much, okay?" Kit put his hand on Lop's mouth. Before Lop hurriedly brushed it away because he felt the heat on his face immediately.

"Oh, you can take this one," Lop hurriedly answered and quickly picked up the food tray and walked away. Ruj put the basket on the plate and hurried to take the tray in Lop's hand and place it himself. This made Lop frown slightly. Lop looked at the back of Ruj who was standing at the table in the pavilion before turning to look behind and saw Kit walk in causing Lop to feel stressed out.

“Go sit down, don't lift. Someone else has gone to help lift it,” Kit used one hand to touch Lop's waist for Lop to walk and sit. Lop startled a little and move further away. When everyone gathered at the pavilion to eat breakfast Lop then went to scoop his own rice and sat in the empty chair between two seniors.
