Missing The Sun

Chapter IV: Girls Kisser

Sun sat on the bench when the conversation occurred between Ongsa and Storm. She could sense how the tall girl felt uneasy about it. Like crystal clear, a cold rejection would soon face Storm. Meanwhile, Mint giggled at how hard it was for Storm to try to melt Ongsa's heart. Ongsa is one of a kind, and Sun agreed.

Storm and Ongsa walked to the bench, with Ongsa was so ready to disappear from that place. Without a sound, she tidied up her sports bag after wiping her sweaty face. Sun stole a glance at her, at Ongsa who seemed to have an attractive aura emanating from her.

"Okay mai?" Sun was worried.

Ongsa nodded and smiled lightly.

"ONGSAAAAAA!"

A stocky man wearing glasses with a blue sports headband on his head approached them. His face looked cheerful, but for no reason, Sun sensed that guy would make the drama even worse than what it was.

"Should you call her name that loud, oy Mawin?" Storm replied courtly. Mawin is Storm's faculty friend.
"Oyyyy so cold. Still trying to talk to Ongsa?" He held his laugh.
"Shut up, Mawin."
"Hi, Sun. No wonder the day is shining so bright today. Accompanying Mint today?" Mawin greeted the shorter girl who replied with a warm smile. "I was at the canteen when I heard all the guys talked about you, the pride of Communication Arts. Lucky Mint."
"Thanks, Mawin. You said that too before." Sun replied courtly.
"Oy Ongsa, who's the girl who drove you this morning? Is that your girlfriend?" The atmosphere suddenly changed. Not only to Storm who sat up straight. "Damn Ongsa. She's so pretty. So, that's why you keep on rejecting Storm?"
"Oy, Mawin. Say that again, I'll kill you right away." Storm stood up, he was so ready to kick Mawin's butt. To Sun, it could be a free entertainment, too bad it didn't happen as Mint held his bestfriend from doing it. "Ongsa, is that true? Do you have a girlfriend? Do you like girls?"

Ongsa took a long deep breath until everyone felt bad for her. She glanced at Sun, who slowly released Mint's grip on her hand. Ongsa looked so annoyed, for whatever happened during that time. She grabbed her bag and prepared to leave.

Two steps, and she turned back, eyes were straight staring at Sun.

"It's Phi Alpha."

Ongsa bowed her head down a little and left, and this time, she didn't look back, leaving Mint, Storm and Mawin switched their focus at Sun. Without any single word, Sun knew they demand for an answer, the answer Ongsa gave her, and only her understand.

"Nope. It's not her girlfriend." Sun explained. "Phi Alpha is her big sister. She's two years older than us. She went to this university as well, International Relations study."
"The Alpha Amphonsaphon???" Surprisingly, Mint knew her too. "Ongsa is her little sister? She studied at S-TAR too?"
"Aw. Do you know Phi Alpha?" Sun asked. "But yes. She was actually a former S-TAR Student President. She's so popular and has a lot of fans. Do you like her, baby?"
"Uh. Not in that way." Mint suddenly looked awkward. "When the university did an introductory tour at a school event back then, I remember I met her." He glanced at Mawin. "She indeed very beautiful. I heard she graduated in cum laude, and top 3 best students too."
"You sound like a big fan." Sun teased her boyfriend, out of jealousy at all.
"N-Not like that. I mean—"
"Whatever running in their family's DNA." Mawin jumped in.

Sun's eyes shifted to Storm's figure, who was still left speechless watching Ongsa's spontaneous departure. In the look on his face, Sun caught sadness.

"Storm."
"Huh?"
"Do you really like her?"
"Oh, Sun." Storm leaned his body on the bench, scrubbing his face using the small towel he held. "I like her. I feel infatuated. I think about her everyday. How am I supposed to explain?"
"But I heard so many girls are into her too." Mawin slapped Storm's shoulder. "What are you going to do if Ongsa turns out liking girls? If Ongsa is a girl kisser?"
