The butterscotch boy belongs to winny

Chapter 7

Satang was sitting alone in a corner of the class when Ton came over, sat beside him, and put a hand on his shoulder, saying, "Hey, buddy, how's it going?"

Removing Ton's hand from his shoulder, Satang says, "You shouldn't have done what you did yesterday."

"Oh, why are you so upset? What did I even do? Can't you adjust for one night for your friend?" Ton replies.

"Ton, you know I didn't have anywhere else to stay last night. You didn't even listen to me; you just said your piece and hung up the phone," Satang says, irritated.

"Enough, man! It's not my fault you don't have any other friends to go to. If you hadn't lied about Kay, you wouldn't be alone today. You should be treating me better because I'm the only one who didn't break off our friendship after what happened," Ton says, frustrated.

"Ton, I've told you many times that I didn't lie. If you don't believe me, then you can leave me too," Satang says before walking out of the classroom.

"Hey, where are you going? The lecture is about to start! Wait!" Ton shouts from behind, but Satang ignores him and keeps walking.

In the evening...

"It started as just a one-night stand, but now Satang works at my cafe. That's why I think I should keep some distance," Winny tells Aran.

"Is it necessary? If you suddenly change your behaviour, Satang could get hurt," Aran responds.

"It's not that I'm changing my behaviour towards him, but I need to draw a line between us so that there are no issues in the future." Winny says seriously.

Just then, Satang arrives, and Aran greets him with a cheerful "Good evening." However, Satang only gives a slight nod, and there's a hint of sadness on his face.

"Why are you sad again, Butterscotch Boy?" Aran asks.

"Don't call me Butterscotch Boy, please," Satang replies.

"What's the matter? You seem sad. If you want, you can take a break today," Winny asks softly.

"No, I mean, yes, I'm a little sad, but if I'm free, I'll just feel even more down," Satang responds.

"Should I make something for you? Maybe a butterscotch milkshake?" Winny suggests.

Hearing this, Satang looks at Winny with a hint of happiness on his face and asks, "Phi, will you really make it?"

Winny smiles and says, "Yes, I will."

As Winny is making the milkshake, Aran approaches him and quietly says, "You said you were going to draw a line between you and Satang." Hearing this, Winny immediately responds, "So, am I not allowed to make a milkshake for my worker?"

"Of course you're allowed, but Winny, are you really caring for him just because he works in your cafe or because you have feelings for him?" Aran asks.

Winny looks towards Aran and says, "I'm allowed to make a milkshake for Satang, but having feelings for him is not allowed."

"Why are you not allowed? I know well that you already have feelings for Satang, and you know it too. That's why suddenly you want to maintain distance from him—you don't want these feelings to grow," Aran says.

In a serious tone, Winny says to Aran, "Let's not discuss this topic any further."

Aran sighs and says, "Alright, let's talk about something else for now. So, did you find anyone to be my roommate?"

"Not yet. You have way too many terms and conditions; no one is willing to agree to them," Winny replies.

"What do you mean, too many terms? I only listed the ones that are necessary," Aran says.

"You're not allowed to wear pink is a necessary term?" Winny questions skeptically.

"Well, it's necessary to me," Aran says.

"Aran, you need money since you've lost your job. I think you should remove some of your conditions so you can find a roommate quickly," Winny says.

"Phi Aran, do you need a roommate?" Satang asks from behind.

Aran turns around, sees Satang, and says, "Yes, I need a roommate because I lost my job and need money."

"Then, can I be your roommate?" Satang asks hesitantly.

"What?" Aran says with a surprised expression.

"I guess your room must be nearby since you come here every day. Am I right?" Satang asks.

Yes, my room is nearby...

"Then can I be your roommate?" Satang asks.

Aran looks at Satang in surprise, then glances at Winny, who is watching Satang intently.
