Falling for my Crush

10. Kao is Angry

"Tada, breakfast is ready"

Rose brings breakfast for Boun and Prem. They completed their breakfast and Rose asks Prem

Rose: How are you feeling now Prem?

Prem: I'm fine Phi. Thank you for helping me na.

Rose: It's nothing Prem. Anything for you.

Boun: Tell me what happened there Prem?

Prem tells them everything that had happened. How he felt all alone when locked up in the attic for days. He missed his friends, his phi and most importantly, his HIA, who especially came for him that day. He was so depressed, he didn't even want to eat the food.

All he can think about is how he can be free after leaving to Uni from here. He was so happy when he is in Uni. All the people love him there, they care for him. He is really missing them so much and don't know if it was due to hunger or anything, he saw his Hia coming towards him running.

He felt that he was being lifted up and carried hurriedly yet gently. He was dreaming right? No way on earth, his hia can know he is locked up in his own house (not technically). No way his uncle came early from his business trip. Everything is like an unattainable dream, yet he is here with his hia, with his Phi.

By the end, Rose is in tears, she hugged him to her heart's content. Boun also looked worried about the treatment Prem gets in his home by his aunt. He wanted to kill her. Never did he imagined, one day he would react for someone like this. This boy moved his ice heart. He feels like this boy is slowly entering in heart and forming a cocoon there.

Later that day, everyone returned to Boun's home, most likely a mansion. Nuea already went back with his father, when he came to deliver Prem's belongings. Boun gave back Prem's phone which he picked up earlier while returning.

Prem immediately called Earth, Fluke and Sammy. He explained everything and Earth swore he is never going back there ever again. Even during holidays, he can come with one of them to their house.

Prem was given a guest bedroom next to Boun. The room is big and the bed can accommodate 4 people. He is so mesmerized with the beauty Infront of him and failed to recognize new presence in his room.

Ahem..!!! Ahem...!!!

Hello there my dear, I'm Boun's and Rose's grandfather. Welcome to the Guntachi mansion my dear. What's your name.

Boun: Grand pa, you are scaring him.

Prem: S-swadee khrap K-khun. I'm Prem. Sorry for the trouble I caused-

Grandpa: No no, don't say like that dear. you are no trouble at all. I trust my grand children, they would never do anything without best judgement.

Make yourself at home. Ask maids or anyone if you need anything. Don't feel shy.

Boun, make sure he doesn't have any inconveniences.

Prem: Thank you Khun🙏

Boun: Even without your command, I will do the same. How can I make my nong suffer in our house. He suffered enough already.

Grandpa: You little brat.🤨 And Prem, call me grand pa like Boun and Rose. Don't have to be so formal with me.😊

Prem: Khrap Grandpa🙏

They stayed in the mansion for a week. During the stay, Prem become very close to Rose. Most of the time, they spent cooking as Prem likes to cook too. Most likely because he has to cook in his aunt's house. Also, he enjoys Rose's company. She reminds him of his sister Lilly. He wish she were here with him. Boun is always out with some business.

But, Prem has many insecurities. He wants to love them with his whole heart but he is scared. What if they also leave him? What if they feel him as burden. He has no parents, don't know where Lilly is or even if she is alive? Just all alone, worked hard as a slave in his own house. What if his friends also see him in the same way? What if his friends also feel him annoying?

Their semester break completed with their little adventure. They returned to their daily lives at University. Except at lunch breaks they often sit together. Boun, Prem, Ohm, Fluke, Kao, Rose, Earth and Sammy. Earth is always sad seeing Koa being close with Rose but he cannot come in between their happiness. He wants his Phi Kao to be happy with the person he chose to spend his life with, even if it's not Earth.

After few weeks into 2nd semester, Ohm and Fluke announced their relationship to the rest of their friends and they celebrated. According to the pair, their relationship started to sprout during the semester break and confirmed now. Everyone are happy for them.

Earth sometimes wouldn't come to them, when asked he says he is busy with his classes and assignments. Prem is very worried because only he knows the reason behind Earth's behavior. Prem confronted Earth one day, then Earth says, he has already moved on from Kao and meeting him only makes Earth awkward.

A few days later, Earth came to the group during lunch.

Rose: Earth, how have you been? Why aren't you having lunch with us these days?

Earth: I'm fine Phi. I'm currently in a relationship and spending time with my boyfriend😊

Kao: What.??? With whom?

Earth: P'Alex from drama club. We became good friends in the second semester and few days back he proposed me🥰

Boston: Isn't he a well known playboy. How come he proposed you?

Fluke: Why haven't you told us before that he is hitting on you?

Prem: So he is the one you are texting during the nights these days?

Sammy: I don't actually believe P'Alex. He is just playing with you. Earth you have to be careful.

Rose: Earth, do you love Alex?

Everyone is shocked by Rose's composure, her tone and her question. Earth hesitates for a minute and answers yes. With that Kao walks away in anger.

Ohm: Why is he angry now? Boun: It's unlike him

Earth to himself: What did I do to deserve your hate phi. You are already happy without me, then why are you angry now? But, Phi, I still love you na. Earth always loves P' Kao.
