When the news that ai'Frame was at my house spread to the ears of my troublemaking friends, the next day... well, Sunday. They quickly gathered and paraded to my house, almost ten of them (I didn't miscalculate, hehe). My parents gave permission, saying that the kids can come and have fun. Ah... how unusually generous of them.

As for their business... Well, there wasn't any, really. They just sat there, playing cards in my living room, making a loud commotion. That doesn't seem like business at all. Until evening, when that nerd, Wit who had just walked into the kitchen, saw the electric grill coincidentally... So he suggested we have a barbecue. Of course, other friends didn't have any opinions of their own... Whatever anyone proposed, they quickly agreed to it! As for me, I was fine with it. We had meat, pork, bacon, and various vegetables, especially mushrooms (they've been stored for a while, not sure if they're still good). As for the grilling, oh boy, we had it all! Meat, pork, bacon, and a variety of vegetables, especially mushrooms (they've been stored for a while, not sure if they're still good). Everything was complete for a barbecue, and we enjoyed it together with friends. So, I just let it go and went along with it. Otherwise, it would take a long time to find another opportunity like this.

Actually, it was really fun....... Having them around made me laugh. Especially Wit and Moh, they imitated the 'Eh-ah, eh-ah, go po!' * dance move of BaiToey, while waiting there with such comical expressions (who went up and brought down the speakers, did you pull the cord properly, damn it!). I had to suppress my laughter and could only manage to utter a single sentence... "Ceh, I accept my defeat." Hoo, I almost choked on my water before I could eat the barbecue again. But I couldn't deny that it was hilarious. Haha! The more the songs continued, the louder the laughter, followed by Kreta's lively beat (a remix version they played in clubs). Everyone else started dancing and jumping along, except for me, Frame, and Earth, who were sitting there laughing until our stomachs hurt.

Until the whole place was filled with the aroma of grilled beef, pork, sausages, bacon, ham, farmhouse bread (uh... whose idea was that?) and various other things in the oven that made your mouth water. They all gathered around in a circle just like before, and I thought the noise would calm down a bit, fearing that the neighbors would really be furious... (Oh, I forgot to mention, the uncle next door is one of those avid collectors of ceramic jars (สะสมโอ่ง). His garden is full of them, both for display and to feed the fish, (By the way....is there any jars put in a ghoul like in the movies??))

However, things didn't go as expected when Earth started boasting and brought up the crucial football match from yesterday, raising the question of how the final scene was missed. It was a huge miss, the biggest miss of all. Our school won, completely! Blah blah blah. And then that Moh had to bring up the Tee incident again... He's so cool, so impressive. They keep asking about me all the time, and all I can do is laugh awkwardly. I don't know how to respond. Luckily, ai' Frame caught on, so he quickly changed the subject to discuss the second football match. That one went as expected. Our school, xxx, the defending champion, won 3-2 in the game without needing extra time or penalty shootouts. It's safe to say that both the coach and the players are truly extraordinary. We have many former students who have become national team members. Plus, we always perform well in every tournament, so it's not really surprising. Anyway, let's support our school's football team to win in the finals...

And in the end, what the hell are they??? Do they love me or not? They had the nerve to bring up the topic of me again, they had to link back to the story of ai' Mew about had a heartbreak with his convent girlfriend because he happened to see her walking hand in hand with a handsome tomboy in the middle of Siam Square. Damn it, Mo dragged the whole river (or maybe fifty rivers) to converge on the misunderstanding I had about the situation. In short, I was cornered and my friends ganged up on me, giving me a good beating. It serves me right for not having a sense of judgment and jumping to conclusions. Well... I deserve it. Even if I had to endure more than this, I would still accept everything willingly.
