Breath (TulHin)

Chapter 8

In the palm of your hand

The morning classes are over, so Hin takes his notes and goes out to finda quiet corner, while Tul is supposed to go back to college. At noon he begins to summarize all the contents of the notes so that those who have almost no time to sleep can easily understand everything, without having to read the complete notes and go to rest quickly. Hin has been doing this for a long time, so much so that he is used to it, although many people often make fun of him because he is more like the secretary of the student president than the treasurer of the board. He doesn't argue because he knows well what his position is. If he wants to help Khun Tul, then he must keep up. So, even though his relationship with him will end when he finds the right person, he will still be able to work alongside him.

Don't get your hopes up about what happened yesterday.

Regardless of whether Khun Tul hugged him and whispered that he is important to him, he must be perfectly aware of his place. He is just a servant and a useless person. Khun Tul must find someone more worthy. Even if he has no idea when he will find her, those moments are precious things that he wants to cherish. This little memory will give him some happiness in the future. This worker cannot imagine that... That person will enter young Tul's life sooner than he expects.

“Hey, buddy, you don't have to hide from me.”

“Rob!”

Gornhin immediately looks up when a bag of snacks is tossed among the notes.

“Hey, no need to show that face, I won't ask you any more questions.”

Rob speaks in a slightly irritated voice. Hin sits in a far corner in class without looking him in the eye, and the moment class is over he gathers up all of his materials and runs away.

“I don't know what Tul ordered you to do, but you obey him in everything.”

Even though he's curious about what kind of relationship they have, especially because of the bruises around his neck, this friend doesn't want to be questioned. He has to respect that. Rob does not fear the son of this well-known family, what he is afraid of is that Hin does not agree to continue his friendship with him. That idea makes him sigh, so he sits to the side and looks at it.

“Be honest, you don't want me to ask you anything about you and Tul. That's what you want, right?”

Gornhin doesn't openly admit it, but the answer is absolutely yes.

“Even if I don't understand why, if you stop hiding from me and looking at me like that I'll try to overlook it, I don't know... I won't ask you, are you satisfied?”

This makes Hin smile slightly and nod in gratitude for his understanding.

“A thousand thanks.”

“Hey, you'll always be my friend even if that bastard Tul wants to end his friendship with me. Do not look at me like this. I don't care how important it is. Let's just say I won't ask any questions. But when it's hard for you to handle, you know I'm ready to listen, okay? I am ready to help you even though I am intimidated by the Metthanan family.”

“Everyone in the house is so kind to me.”

“Okay. You won...”

Only when Rob decides to forget does Hin take a sandwich out of his bag. He continues to listen to him even though he won't stop moaning.

“So, if your little master isn't here, what will you eat? I don’t think you can feed yourself with photosynthesis by continuing to sit here and fill your stomach with sun. Is Tul at work?”
