🔞Happy 19th Birthday🔞

Lop was turning 19 soon and Ruj and Krit both asked him at different times what he wanted for his birthday. He just wanted to have a BBQ. Same as his 18th birthday. Ruj realized that he was easy to please. They still had some bumps in their relationship, but Ruj had toned back his jealousy and started to include both Krit and Lop in the things he was doing. He still spent time alone with Krit, but he also made sure to spend time with Lop in the woodshop. Lop really enjoyed making things out of wood, and Krit thought it was too tedious, so that was something that Lop and him shared. Shortly after he returned, he asked Lop if he wanted to finish his sign for Liam and Lop told him now that it wasn't necessary. Ruj was shocked when Lop ran it through the saw a couple of times ruining what was already done. Ruj didn't say anything but smiled as he figured it was Lops way of letting him know there was nothing to be jealous of. While Lop was on duty, Ruj worked secretly on a gift for Lop. He knew that Lop was still feeling insecure, so he was making a sign for Lops door, that said Lop's Pad. Krit and him were also renovating their basement into a room just for Lop. Ruj made the bookcases and Krit filled them with books from authors that Lop liked as well as woodworking books. Kamol and Khom got a TV for Lop and hung it up as well. Day and Liam didn't want to be outdone, so they contributed the fuzzy carpet that Lop kept trying to talk Ruj and Krit into getting for the living room. This space was going to belong to Lop. It was one week before his birthday and there were still a few more things that needed to be done, but for that to happen, Lop had to be out of the mansion compound. So, that is how it ended up that Day, Lop, and Krit were hanging out with Kamol at the hotel and Khom, Ruj, & Liam were finishing up Lop's Pad. Ruj got a text from Krit telling him they better be done as Kamol and Kinn got into it at the hotel, and he was coming home in a bad mood. Kinn was Kimhan's older brother, and he was in university. Ruj couldn't figure out what he did that would irritate Kamol, but thankfully, they had just finished cleaning up and locked the door so Lop couldn't enter before the big reveal. Khom went to Kamol's office as he got a call from Kamol to meet him there, and Liam went back to his house leaving Ruj on his porch.

While Khom was waiting in Kamol's office, he pulled out his phone and called Kimhan. "Hello" "What did Kinn do to my boss?" "Well, Kinn, his boyfriend Tawan, and his friend Tay were drunk and Kinn said some things he shouldn't have said. I will make sure Kinn apologizes tomorrow when he is sober." "You were with them?" "Yes, Kinn thought I needed to browse." "Excuse me?" "Find a date. He thinks because I am 16, I need to have a girlfriend or boyfriend." "So, did you find one?" "Nope, I will wait until I find the one." "So, why did Kinn get upset with Kamol?" "Kamol doesn't like Kinn's boyfriend Tawan." "I have heard that name before, I can't remember where, but watch out for your brother." "I always watch out for my family, if Tawan does him wrong, he won't know what hit him." Khom was still talking when Kamol showed up and started yelling about how Kinn is stupid and should know better. Khom told Kimhan goodbye and hung up. "Kamol, will you calm down?" "How can I calm down when Kinn is dating the bastard who tried to seduce Daniel to get information on Evan." Khom thought to himself, that is where he heard that name before. He will warn Kimhan again, but right now, he needed to calm his boss down. "Want to see pictures of Lop's Pad?" "Is it done?" "Yes, and I think Lop is going to love it." Kamol looked at the pictures and said the only thing weird about the space was the carpet.

Ruj was sitting on his porch when Lop ran up to him and gave him a big hug and started telling him about the fight between Kamol and some guy named Kinn. Lop was talking like a hundred miles a minute and Ruj could barely understand anything Lop was telling him, but he seemed so excited, Ruj just nodded like he understood everything. He also returned the hug and gave Lop a kiss on his forehead. After Lop was done talking. "You didn't get hurt, did you?" "No, I didn't get hurt?" "That is good. I care about you, you know." "Ruj, you love me, just say it. You know it won't hurt you to say it?" "Yeah, you are right. I love you." "See, that wasn't hard, was it?" Krit watched the whole scene from the hammock not far from the porch and smiled. It seemed Ruj and Lop's relationship was getting better. This was a good sign as Krit wanted to try something on the night of Lops birthday. Of course, he hasn't talked it over with Ruj yet, but he didn't think Ruj would have a problem. He walked toward the guardhouse not wanting to disturb them. He looked at the sheet and noticed that he was on night duty that evening, so he would have to catch a nap soon. Day noticed him and wanted to know what he was thinking. "Day, why aren't you dating?" "Who says I am not?" "What you are seeing someone and we don't know about it?" "Yeah, I do have a life outside of working for Kamol." "Yeah, you are right, you don't live here." "Are you upset about that?" "No, I am just surprised." "Anyway, I am not on duty for a couple days, so I am off. Got things to do. See you at Lop's party." Day leaves and Krit walks back towards his house where he finds Lop reading in his hammock and Ruj sitting on the porch. "I am going to get some sleep. I am on duty tonight." He didn't' expect an answer, but Ruj opened the door for him and kissed him passionately on the lips. "I will miss you." Krit went to their room with a smile on his face.
