"I'll be damned!" Said Dome when he saw Jaokhun was already seated on his usual seat in that huge lecture hall. "What the hell, dude? What has gotten into you? Why are you here so early?" Asked him curiously, since it broke the record of Jaokhun's arrival for every single day, who always came into that hall right after the lecturer's arrival.

Jaokhun grinned. "Surprised?" He wiggled his brows playfully as he watched Dome took the seat beside him.

"I am flabbergasted!" Dome retorted. "Are you sick man?" He placed the back of his palm on Jaokhun's forehead but got pushed instantly.

"I'm fine, dude. Not sick either." Again, a wide smile was plastered on Jaokhun's lips.

"I can't tell.....You do look fine physically. But mentally....I'm not so sure. I feel like this is not you. You broke your own routine. It's so....not you. What happened? Care to share it with me?" Persuaded Dome who wasn't satisfied until he got the answer out of Jaokhun. Obviously something had changed Jaokhun. It wouldn't happen in overnight unless it was due to a certain force that made him do it.

Jaokhun chuckled as he scratched the back of his neck. "Nothing happened, dude. I simply got bored with the usual routine, so, I've decided to change it a bit."

Dome's face was scrunched up while eyeing Jaokhun thoroughly. "I don't believe you." He shook his head. "You're hiding something from me." He said while taking out his notes for him to revise. It was something he always did before the lecture. It would help him to remember what they had learned in previous lectures so he could keep up with the subject.

"Hmm...maybe. But that's for me to know and for you to find out." Jaokhun said casually while having his gaze glued to the hall entrance, hoping that the next person entered the hall would be Picesri. He was excited to meet her that day, because he wanted to claim his reward from her. Something that she had to give in return for saving her arse yesterday.

"Fuck, dude! You got me even more curious!"

Jaokhun laughed, but only for a while. As soon as he saw Picesri, he immediately raised his hand and called her out. "Yo!! Krist Perawat!!" He yelled so loud, that it immediately gained attention from other students who were already in that hall including Dome.

"Krist Perawat?" Dome raised his brows, staring at Picesri who had her middle finger up in the air. Obviously it was for Jaokhun because that man was laughing hard when he saw her unexpected gesture. "This is interesting. When did you two become attached? Am I missing something?"

"Be quiet, dude. This is between me and her." Jaokhun replied and watched Picesri came over, walking through a narrow path on a row below until she was standing right in front of him.

"Can't you be any louder? You should have a mic or a megaphone with you when you call out for me." Picesri said in sarcasm as she grimaced at the other students who started to get back to whatever they were doing.

"You right...maybe I should do that."

"What the fuck, Jaokhun?! I'm not Krist Perawat! Stop spreading something that I am not!!" Picesri barked in rage. She wanted to punch Jaokhun, but he was lucky that they were separated by a long table bench that restricted her hand from reaching that man. And of course because she was too short to grab Jaokhun's shirt as well.

"Of course, you're not. But you do look a bit like him. Am I right, Dome?" Jaokhun tapped Dome's arm as he pointed his chin to Picesri.

"Hmm....," Dome hummed and tilted his head to the right to have a good look at the tomboy who indeed was fuming with rage, "....come to think of it, you do look like him. Are you related to him somehow?"

"I am not! We are not related!" Picesri raised her voice in annoyance.

"Okay...okay...no need to get so mad...I was just asking." Dome swallowed and back away a little.

"I am not mad. I just want this to stop. I don't even like Krist Perawat."

Jaokhun gasped. "You don't? Fuck! You better keep that fact to yourself. His fans might get mad if they hear what you said." Teased him, pretending to observe the perimeter as if those fans were hiding around them.

Picesri rolled her eyes and shook her head. "Fuck you, Joakhun." She turned to leave.

"Woah! Where do you think you're going?" Jaokhun grabbed Picesri's shoulder to stop her.

"To my seat. Where else should I go? Do you think I'm like you, skipping a lecture just to sleep?" Scoffed Picesri, smacking Jaokhun's hand off of her shoulder.

"Not so fast. You owe me something, remember? I want to collect my reward, now." Jaokhun emphasized the word reward just to remind Picesri of her promise.

"Your reward?" Picesri blinked.

"Regarding last night? Don't tell me you have forgotten what you said to me last night."

"What did I say?" Picesri asked.

"I'll get whatever I want if I help you." Jaokhun once again emphasized a certain word. The whatever word that Picesri had relayed to him.

"Did I really say that to you? Why am I not recalling anything from last night? You are lying, aren't you?" The truth was, Picesri did remember the last night incident. And it scared her. She was afraid that Jaokhun would use the opportunity to claim his reward by asking for something that she couldn't give. She was so stupid for making that promise, and now, judging by Jaokhun's expression, she was worried he would demand for something impossible.

"I have recorded everything, Picesri." Jaokhun smirked as he took out his phone and played the recording of their conversation last night while being watched by Picesri and Dome as well, who couldn't hide his shocking expression. "See...you did say whatever. So, I demand to have that whatever reward right now. And you can't refuse what I want from you."

"Fine!" Picesri uttered in annoyance. "I hate breaking a promise. So, tell me what you want."

Jaokhun grinned as put away his phone.

"Well, what do you want from me?"

"Date me." Said Jaokhun casually that made Picesri and Dome speechless.

"What?" Picesri asked in disbelief.

"I said....date me. That will be the reward I want for saving you last night."
