We are...คือเรารักกัน (We are... we are in love)

Chapter 21: Happy New Year (Part 2)

"P'Peem, can I go to the bathroom. I need to pee."

"Go and release as if you've never done it before."

"I'm scared, Phi. Toey won't go with me. Can you take me there."

"You're such a hassle. Fine, let's go."

I stood up and took Matt to the bathroom. That rascal ran ahead of me, holding his little brother. And yet you told me you're afraid. I opened the refrigerator and looked for something for the others outside while waiting for Matt for a while. But it didn't take long before I heard him running back out.

"I'm done, Phi."

"Why are you so fast?"

"Hahaha, I'm scared. The pothos in the bathroom grows so well, P'Peem."

"You're all grown up that a dog can't even lick your balls, and yet you're still scared of ghosts."

Matt laughed. I threw him a green apple. Oh wait, it's not an apple, it's a jujube. Why is it so big? I'm starting to feel dizzy, or maybe I'm drunk. I asked Matt to help peel four or five mangoes that I found in the fridge. Eating sour fruits might help to sobber up.

"Oh, hey! You scared me, Phum! Don't sneak up on me like that." Phum had been standing behind Matt and me for who knows how long. I was so startled that I almost dropped the plate of mangoes. "What's wrong? Why the grumpy face?" He arrived without saying a word, just standing there with a stern look, glancing back and forth between Matt and me.

"What took you so long?"

"Oh, Nong went to the bathroom."

"And also peeling the mangoes too. P'Phum, do you want some?"

"No, whatever in my boyfriend's house. If I want to eat, I'll eat it myself." Mat was stunned. I was completely confused.

"What's wrong with you, Phum? He was just being nice."

"Then why do you have to be together, just the two of you? I don't like it."

Matt and I turned to look at each other before the half-breed kid burst out laughing.

"Ha ha, are you jealous of me and P'Peem? Oh man, even if you gave me for free, I'd still have to think about it." I choked on the jujube and my own laugher at myself before kicking Matt out of the kitchen. He ran off, yelling along the way. "P'Phum is jealous. P'Phum is jealous."

Everyone outside probably knows by now. It might have even reached Hua Lamphong.

I looked at Phum's fierce face with a funny smile. I reached out to take his hand and squeezed it gently. I still remember him saying that he's possessive, especially with things he loves and values. I'm glad to be something important to him, so I want him to know something: "In this life, if it's not you I will never fall in love with any other man. Remember that, you jealous fool."

"Let's play the Kings game." the same old game that Pan used to mess up with people he called friends. "There are eleven people and everyone has to play. Come on, you all know the rules, right? Whoever gets the king is the ruler and can command anything and ask any question. Okay?"

"I remember the last time we played. Q had to pole dance. Haha. Do you remember, Peem? Hahaha!" Q threw the nuts at Tan's head, who still couldn't stop laughing.

One card per person, everyone picked up a card and revealed it. It was so nerve-wracking. Even though the odds of being chosen were low with many players, if luck turned against you, you couldn't appeal for mercy because everyone will gang up on you. I didn't get picked often but Pan was the one who gets it the most. We all looked at each other nervously, waiting to see who got the king. We were all on high alert. Even Phum wouldn't let me see his card. I got a 3. I was so nervous!
