We are...คือเรารักกัน (We are... we are in love)

Chapter 12: Loy Krathong (Part 2)

"Phum, Phum ka, what's wrong?"

I didn't know if Phum had something wrong, but I definitely had. I had a tingling sensation because Beer's arm was on my neck.

"Hey, slow down. Why are you walking like a buffalo running after you*? You walk so fast."

[*ตามควาย idiom (lit) walking like a buffalo (fiv) to hurry. I tweak it a little bit 😁]

"I'm walking fast, which might look like I'm running away from you. Why are you still coming after me? You stay away from me, I'm hot."

"But I'm cold."

"Cold?" I stopped walking and stood, staring at his face. If the nearly-40-degree weather makes him feel cold, I might have to call the emergency service. And I didn't know if my face was funny or if there was something funny about it, Beer couldn't stop laughing. He agreed to take his heavy arm off my shoulder, then he held out his hand as if offering me to walk first. It made me reassess my judgment that Beer was no longer a handsome, sad-eyed young man with a sweet, gentle smile, but a man who acts like an aristocrat that is extremely irritating.

Beer and I wandered around aimlessly, but it was fun and comfortable. Having said that, he and I had only just known each other for a short time , but it's as if we've been close friends since our past lives.

I pulled on the thread and found out that Beer had to come to Loy Krathong all alone because his girlfriend was angry with him. He still hadn't succeeded in reconciling with her, so his girlfriend dumped him and went out with her friends instead. After listening, I didn't know who to feel sorry for. Let me feel sorry for myself first.

No matter which faculty's shop, which club's booth the two of us walked past, Beer was often dragged into games by seniors and juniors or asked to buy goods at almost every shop. He never refused. Plus, they cooperated so well that I wondered what kind of person he is. Damn! He is extremely kind and friendly. Not like Ai... That's it. I'm going crazy. Just being distracted a little bit, I happened to think about a person I shouldn't think about again.

Yes, uh, that's it. When Beer had to play games a lot, he had to leave his cell phone with me because he was afraid he would lose it. What about me? What did I do? I stood there like a sleepy cat, waiting for him. How to walk with friends but feel like you're walking alone. I'll write a review thread on Pantip soon. Besides being bored because I had to stand and wait, I was also bored because Beer liked to make mysterious expressions on his face and say strange things. I felt even more sorry that this happened.

"Just play, I'll help you."

"Slow down, be careful or you will miss it."

"Shall we go ahead with it? How about tonight?"

I didn't know what he was saying. Don't pay any attention to him. It's better to pay attention to this matter. I couldn't believe that there are people who know me. Please allow me to smile with pride for one minute. Even if they are not someone unfamiliar. They're from our neighborhood - Architecture juniors. But it's a pleasure to have people remember us, isn't it? These guys are known as dumb and crazy as Art students. So it makes us not afraid of each other. I was dragged by them to throw a boy (maybe) into the water. I was forced to buy a Siakban doll and a straw voodoo doll the size of a fist. It must be their handmade work. I really like them. They're so creative. So I left a tip of five baht like rich people would.
