"Phu,listen.I'm so sorry for what I did.I took it out on you,i'm so sorry." Naravit was on the verge of tears.Days passed without talking,Naravit felt like the air had been taken from him.
"It's fine,i understand you were tired,should've leave you alone,Naravit."

Phuwin accepted his apology but something changed.No more Hia,just plain Naravit.From that day onwards Phuwin never called Naravit Hia ever again.Something's wrong but Naravit couldn't get himself to fix it,he hurted Phuwin too much.They continued to hang out like the usual,all three of them.

Photos and articles of them being a friend group were all over the place,people liked the combination.Who wouldn't? Them together were pleasing to the eyes.That consequently made Archen interested to know about the close friends of Dunk,Naravit and Phuwin.So,Dunk planned a get together.

"So,Phuwin how old are you?"
"'17"
"Really? You do not look 17.In a good way,really."
"Thanks."

There was some prominent tension between Archen and Phuwin.They couldn't even look at each other,and the sight was triggering for Naravit although he didn't even know why.He just didn't like the fact the Archen's now close with Dunk and now he felt like Archen's taking Phuwin from him.Archen realised that Naravit was tense the entire time and that entertained him.

"Naravit,how long have you known Dunk?"

"Two years,now that we're twenty."

"Cool." Archen chuckled.

"How's working with Dunk?"

"It's a wonderful experience,Dunk is a great partner." Archen emphasized the word partner.Both of them were territorial and Naravit took it personally.

After they're done eating,Archen offered to Drive Dunk home.Naravit insisted no,he said he himself would take Dunk home.

"If that's the case,let me take Phuwin home." Archen raised his eyebrows.He's invested to play this game Naravit's playing.

"No,he's going home with me.I promised his mother tha—"

"I want to go with Archen." Phuwin stood up,ready to go.

Naravit couldn't say no,after all he was still unsure whether Phuwin forgave him or not.

In the car Archen tried to strike up a conversation.

"You're unique,I don't know how to describe you."

Phuwin turned to look at him. "why,exactly?"

Archen looked ahead,why is Phuwin making me nervous,he thought.

"I don't know,the way you look like you do."

"Is that a good thing?" Phuwin giggled.

"I-I don't know." He wanted Phuwin to look away,before they got into an accident.

"Is this your house?" He turned to look at Phuwin.

They looked at each other for sometime and Phuwin cleared his throat.

"Yeah,come over next time." If only Archen knew how much he affected Phuwin.

Phuwin got inside his house safely so Archen drove away.

Did he cast a spell on me or what.
