Love Director [ENG]

Chapter 17: Shelter

Although it was already past midnight, the music in Plerng's house showed no signs of quieting down. By that time, the children had gone to bed, leaving the adults to continue their celebrations. The father of the three siblings, feeling particularly spirited, decided to bring out decades-old whiskey. The first bottle was quickly finished, followed by the second, and so on, with the eldest son being responsible for more than half of it.

Phi Phai remarked. "In case I get drunk, someone will take care of me."

His words were casual, but his eyes were directed at one person. His beloved partner replied coolly: "If you know you can't take care of yourself when you're drunk, someone with a brain would know not to get drunk in the first place."

Plerng's mother smiled widely, proudly proclaiming that this person was the perfect match for Phai.

Initially, Plerng considered joining the drinking contest, but seeing his partner, who was exceptionally lightweight when it came to alcohol, he decided to withdraw. If he drank, Phi Sin would accompany him, and the adults around would encourage them to drink more. The predictable outcome would be Phi Sin passing out, something Plerng was keen to avoid.

It's New Year's; there should be some New Year activities!

If they were intimate on the first day of the year, it meant they'd be intimate all year, right? While everyone else was still downstairs, Plerng pretended to be tired, said his goodnights to all the adults, and dragged Phi Sin, who was about to say his farewells, up to his bedroom. He playfully claimed that he didn't want to sleep alone on New Year's; it would be lonely. Phi Sin softened immediately.

"Phi Sin fits perfectly in Phai's pajamas." he noted with a wide smile as the taller man emerged from the bathroom in his brother's pajamas.

Plerng had wanted to join him in the shower, but Phi Sin, feeling awkward, mentioned that with so many adults downstairs, it might not look good for Plerng. So, he reluctantly agreed to shower alone.

After sending Phi Sin to the bathroom, Plerng quickly ran to shower in his sister's bathroom and then returned with a sweet smile, waiting. It didn't help that the adults in the house knew what was happening as soon as he dragged his brother upstairs.

Didn't you hear what Phen said?

"Good luck, Phi Sin!"

And Phi Phai?

"Want to have a drinking contest?"

His brother didn't mean a drinking contest. He was referring to how many rounds Phai would get his wife compared to how many rounds he would get his husband that night. And let me tell you, this little brother wasn't going to lose.

That kind of attitude was why their parents were so overjoyed, to the point of tears, when they found out he had found "the right one."

"You look so cute in those pajamas, Nong Plerng."

Damn it. Normally, nothing fazes Plerng, not even insults, but just one compliment from Phi Sin about his Disney cartoon pajamas made him weak in the knees!

"I wear them at home, that's why you've never seen them."

Who would use Disney pajamas to seduce someone? Wearing them just made it clear he wasn't trying to be inappropriate. However, Phi Sin's gaze told Plerng that even if they were cartoon pajamas, he was still utterly smitten.

"They're cute. You should wear them more often. Nong Plerng, you're already cute, so anything you wear is cute."

"The real cutie here is you, phi."
