You & Me [Completed]

Aim

"Will it be better if I didn't go?" I asked.

"I think so too." Forth replied softly.

I was quiet for a bit before muttering, "I guess so. I tell the boys."

"I only said no because you said no. I'm at my dorm actually. Not with a friend. So you saying you wanted to go threw me off balance. Because I can't say I want to come when I had fibbed. But you going and I'm not being there to keep an eye out for you worries me. You are very cute, P so people will hit on you! I know you can look after yourself but it's still better I am there. If you still want to go, make sure Max or Tul are with you!"

Forth went off on this uncalled for spiel and it honestly left me quite shocked.

"I... I have already texted in the group chat to say I want to rest in instead. Everyone is fine with it."

"Oh. I.. I'm sorry..for that.."

"It's ok, Nong. You are really very kind. Get home safe, ok?"

Forth was quiet before he muttered again, "I am kind, P but I am not like that towards everyone. So please don't misunderstand."

"I didn't misunderstand anything. It's good you are kind."

"What I am trying to say is... I don't do that for everyone."

"Oh, then?"

"I don't do that for all of my seniors. P Kong and P Arthit can fend for themselves. I don't care. Or they can have Lam or Park to do it. P Max and P Tul..not even in my radar!"

"OK?"

"So....I'm not kind towards everyone. Only to you."

I kept quiet, feeling my face all hot again. Thank God we were only on a call! I just thanked him again and hung up before he could say anything else. My heart was palpitating and beating so loudly.

I looked at the phone for the longest period, Forth's words washing over me constantly.

This guy was doing no good for my heart, wrecking it completely! In a good way but still, why! I really had to stop crushing on my juniors! Jesus, it was embarrassing!

The next day, I met up with Arthit and Kong as we walked to the canteen together. Arthit was looking especially happy and when I probed, he confessed that Lam accepted his feelings.

I smiled, absolutely happy for him though Arthit was worried about me feeling heartbroken but I assured him I was fine and that I really did not want to third wheel anymore. We chatted as we went to our usual table.

Arthit had invited Lam and the other juniors to sit with us so that his boyfriend could be with him. I internally panicked a bit as it meant I would see Forth again so I made sure I was super casual and busy chatting with Kong when they came over. But this traitor Kong dumped me the minute he saw Park and went to sit with him instead asking Forth to take his seat next to me.

Forth sat next to me and I inched away consciously making sure to put distance between us.

But big mistake. I realized Forth had clocked that and his eyes widened a bit but he re arranged his face almost instantly and just kept a poker face on.

But, he didn't speak to me for the rest of lunch. And that's when I knew I was more than screwed.
