Love and Loyalty COMPLETED (Love in the Air / Kinnporsche/Tharntype)

Chapter 7

"Does he pay you? Don't tell me you're his driver for free" Prapai said chuckling as he approached his dear cousin, who was standing close to his car, waiting for Som to leave the faculty building. Payu turned to him and sighed deeply, a few weeks had already passed since that date at the cinema and the dinner with his parents, but he was still wondering why so many members of his family were against his relationship with the soon to be architect.

"Shouldn't I be the one asking you why you're here? Do you want to get another degree, or maybe a cute guy caught your attention?" Payu asked with a smirk, knowing the right answer to that question. Prapai chuckled a little, he came closer to him, crossed his arms over his chest and sighed.

"I'm certain you already know the answer, don't you? I'm pretty sure he is a friend of Rain's. That was Ple's boyfriend's name, right? Rain?" Prapai finished. Payu was a little surprised to hear that name again, it was almost as a sparkle appeared in his eyes as that name was pronounced. Prapai knew his cousin enough to notice it, but since he had another target, he preferred to ignore that reaction.

"Do you already have a strategy or are you going to improvise?" Payu asked.

"I just need a moment with Ple. I know that if I ask Rain directly, he may warn his friend or something like that, while Ple knows me already"

"As long as I'm not involved in your crazy plan, you can do as you please. But if I may give you a tip, I suggest you move fast. Ple and Rain's relationship is already pretty frail, I'm not sure how long it will last. If you wait for too long..." Payu replied.

"Wait, how do you know about that?" Prapai posed that question with genuine curiosity. Payu was surely a kind guy, but he wasn't the type of person who would ask about other's personal business, unless...

"Ple is usually with Som when I go to visit him, she always complains about Rain's behavior, saying that he's too impulsive and clumsy. To be honest, I wonder why she still agrees to go out with him, if she only finds reasons to complain about him" Payu explained, but right after he finished, he found a mischievous grin on his cousin's face.

"And what do you think?"

"I think that Ple is just overreacting. Som has observed Rain for quite a while, he was scared that by impulsive, Ple could mean that Rain tended to resort to violence, but that's not the case. He's quite clumsy, but that doesn't justify the constant complains. Everyone has their flaws after all, right?" Payu added.

"I see, so I guess you had no other reasons to explore his personality, you have Som and that's enough to you, isn't that so?" Prapai asked with a smirk.

"What are you insinuating?"

"I'm just saying that you may have a crush on a guy who isn't the one you're currently dating. The loyal Venice isn't so loyal after all" Prapai finished his sentence laughing. Payu came closer to him and told him to take that back immediately, but his cousin loved teasing him so much that he couldn't stop so easily.

"oh come on, don't tell me you didn't feel bad even a little bit when Ple talked shit about the poor, innocent Rain"

Payu looked away and didn't respond. Soon after that, Som and Ple arrived and Prapai's plan to get Sky's phone number got in motion.
