Chapter 2

Brave and peaceful

The mirror above the dressing table reflects the image of Suriyen standing holding a hairdryer, drying the damp hair of a small boy, after they both have showered. The new morning has arrived.

"Really, I can do it on my own." 

A pair of beautiful eyes look at the tall person behind him, through the reflection of the glass. The older one is now wearing the same clothes as the previous evening, but Salin’s heart still wants to leap out of his chest. That boy is so handsome that his heart hurts.

"Conserve your energy for training, my good boy."

Suriyen looks at the little person in the mirror and smiles, as his thick hands run through small strands of soft hair and blows hot air on it to dry it completely.

"Oh! It's already six, right?"  Salin asks, looking at the hand of the clock on the wall, where the time already shows past six. Then he hurries to grab his bag and drop it over his shoulder and turns to look at the taller one, ready to leave the room immediately.

"I can't wait any longer."

"Wait, I'll take you. It seems like you have a fever, I'll take you to buy medicine."

" It does not matter. I'll take a taxi right away."

"Aren't you afraid of getting stuck in traffic?" Suriyen asks, raising his eyebrows.

From here to the condominium in Sukhumvit area, if he took a taxi back in this difficult time, it would take a long time, but he told him to wait, does that mean he rides a motorbike...?

"Do you drive a motorbike?" 

"Yes, are you angry?" His eyes widen with concern.

"It's a bit strange, but why should I be angry? It's just that..."

To be honest, right now, just walking is uncomfortable, and if he had to ride a motorbike back to the apartment with a distance of more than ten kilometers, it would have made him even more uncomfortable, everything would have become much more inflamed.

"My seat is very soft."  The tall boy smiles sweetly, managing to understand what's bothering him.

"Ah... then take me with you."  Salin smiles dryly.

"With pleasure, Nong Lin."

Having accepted, they both leave the room heading towards the elevator at the end of the corridor. After waiting a moment, the elevator door opens, Suriyen makes a gesture to invite the little person to enter first, then follows him.

"Cold?" He asks the taller one, as the sweet boy rubs his arms to add warmth to his body.

Suriyen takes off his black leather jacket and places it on the nong's body, immediately bringing the back of his hand to his forehead to check his body temperature. It's hot, like he's boiling on the stove.

In the morning, he shouldn't have taken Lin to soak in water to wash his body for hours, but now this little person has become ill, and apparently the fever continues to rise higher and higher, so he should take Lin to a doctor. That would be the best thing.

"I'm sorry, I'll take you to the doctor before I go to your apartment." He apologizes and his look is full of guilt.

"Don't worry, I won't go to the doctor."  Salin shakes his head. " There are medicines to reduce fever in the room. I don't want to bother you anymore." He says looking up and smiling sweetly until the dimples in his cheeks show. He smiles like he usually does when he is with his parents.
