Breath (TulHin)

Chapter 26

Must have everything

Naphawadee doesn't care at all about the taste of dinner. She is only interested in the man named Tul Metthanan who is sitting in front of her who is asking her if she likes her dinner. He shows her a warm smile that makes her feel like she's walking through clouds of cotton and that's when she realizes it... She realizes that she really likes him, she likes him a lot, like she's never liked anyone before from now.

“Phi, thank you so much for today. I also apologize that Mom and Wadee have caused so much trouble for so long.”

“What are you worried about? I'm happy to have had the honor of showing Wadee the house and having her for dinner... with me.”

At this point the girl's heart begins to beat faster and she wonders if she has enough courage to make eye contact with his beautiful eyes.

“It's Phi who needs to apologize for not being a good host.”

“No, Phi has nothing to apologize for. Wadee understands. This is exam period and Wadee arrived at an inopportune time.”

At first, when Tul excused himself by leaving the kitchen, she was afraid that he had left because he felt uncomfortable around her, but when he explained that he had to go study exam subjects with Hin, she understood.

Naphawadee was very impressed that P'Tul is so kind and treats P'Hin like a true friend, because the girl has never seen him as an inferior person, since he considers all people equal and therefore he can be hers too Friend; in the same way she doesn't like it when her mother insults her friends just because she considers them inferior and inappropriate.

“Phi promises to make up for it next time.”

“What? Next time...”

The girl who is lost in her thoughts looks up.

“I'm sorry, I think I was too hasty.” 

“Huh? Rushed?!”

At that moment Naphawadee's eyes light up and her hands begin to tremble. His brain is processing the situation because, even though he is quite innocent, he can understand that...

Is P'Tul.. Is he flirting with me? Is it possible that he likes me? Is it possible that he likes a girl like me...?

P'Tul pays attention to her when they're together, but he’s never contacted her first so, seeing him act that way, she can't help but think he's just imagining it all, but his words still make her tick heart and stop breathing for a moment when Tul looks at her and slowly breaks into a smile.

“If I ask Nong for a chance to redeem me, will Nong give it to me?”

Tul asks in a voice so sweet she almost melts.

“Redeem yourself...?” Wadee asks in a small voice.

“Yeah, something like dinner with Phi.”

“Yes... a restaurant can be the best choice to be comfortable and enjoy the food.”

“I understand, my mother makes you too uncomfortable.”

“Oh, no. It is not so.”

Wadee immediately denies it by making eye contact but, the moment she meets her beautiful eyes, she looks away as if afraid that P'Tul might realize that it's not really her mother who's making her nervous. Young Tul smiles at her again.

“Really, isn't she?” He asks how he wanted to embarrass her again.

“No.”

“So, what do you think?”
