The butterscotch boy belongs to winny

Chapter 8

Around 9 PM, when Satang reaches his room, he finds Ton drinking with Kay and their friends. Seeing this, Satang asks Ton to step outside for a moment.

"Why is Kay here?" Satang asks Ton.

"What do you mean, 'Why is Kay here?' Can't you see we're drinking? Don't ruin my mood now. Come on, join us inside."

"Tell them all to leave," Satang says firmly to Ton.

"Hey, tone down your attitude a bit. What's bothering you so much? If you've got a problem, then you can leave," Ton responds sharply.

"Don't worry, I'll leave tomorrow. After that, do whatever you want, hang out with whoever you like. But tonight, ask them all to leave."

"What do you mean by 'I'll leave tomorrow'?"

"I've found another place to stay."

"How could you do this? You didn't even tell me anything and suddenly made this decision. This is why you don't have any friends. I'm the only one who stands by you, and this is how you treat me?" Ton says angrily.

Satang looks into Ton's eyes and, with a trembling voice, says, "You know I have no one else, so that's why you treat me like this, right, Ton?"

"Are you blaming me? Fine, go wherever you want. Do you think I need you? And why wait until tomorrow? Leave today since Kay and his friends will be here tonight anyway," Ton says angrily before walking away.

Satang, feeling utterly drained and defeated by the situation, sits down on the stairs. With a deep, tired sigh, he says, "I'm just so tired of this."

At the same time, at Winny's house...

Winny and Chai are having dinner together. Chai notices that Winny seems distracted and lost in thought.

"Brother, is something bothering you?" Chai asks.

Winny snaps out of his thoughts, looks at Chai, and says, "No, nothing's wrong."

Winny sits there, not eating anything. Seeing this, Chai asks after a while, "Is it because of the question I asked you this morning that you're worried?"

Winny looks at Chai but doesn't say anything.

"Brother, I asked that question because I felt like you might have feelings for Phi Satang. But I'm sorry if that question upset you," Chai says.

Hearing this, Winny quickly replies, "Why are you apologizing? You have every right to ask me anything."

"If that's the case, then why don't you tell me everything? Brother, please tell me what's going on," Chai says.

Winny sighs and says, "Satang is moving into Aran's room tomorrow."

"What? Did Phi Satang need a room?" Chai asks.

"I didn't know. Today, when Aran and I were discussing finding a roommate, Satang asked Aran about his move."

"Brother, why are you worried? Phi Satang is very nice and calm. If he becomes Phi Aran's roommate, Phi Aran won't have any issues either."

"Absolutely, Aran won't have any trouble. In fact, I'm quite sure he'll end up bothering Satang."

Chai smiles slightly and says, "Exactly."

If I had known earlier that Satang needed a room, I would have found him a better place.

It's okay, brother. It's not that bad to stay with Phi Aran.

Have you read his conditions? He has set so many requirements for the roommate; how can anyone follow all those conditions?

You seem to care a lot about Phi Satang.

It's not like that. Winny looks away from Chai and gets up to leave.

"Brother, allow yourself to feel these emotions. It's not necessary that they will always bring pain; they can be beautiful too."

Winny silently walks to his room...

 He takes out a diary from the closet and, looking at it, thinks, "It doesn't matter if these feelings are good or not; in the end, they only bring pain."

The next morning...

"Finally, I found a roommate. I'm very happy," Aran says to himself as he prepares the room. "But I don't know what's going on in Winny's mind. He never talks about his feelings, but yesterday when Satang mentioned becoming my roommate, Winny's expression was quite serious."

Aran is tidying up the room when he hears the doorbell ring and quickly goes to open the door. Outside, Satang is standing alone with his belongings.

"I was waiting for you. Did you come alone?"

Satang slightly nods his head and asks, "Can I come in?"

"Yes, yes, of course. You have a lot of stuff, so let me help you," Aran says, taking Satang's belongings and leading him to his room.

After placing the items, Aran looks at Satang with a smile and says, "This is your room, and the room next to it is mine. Normally, I order food, but if you'd like to cook, you can use the kitchen. Just keep in mind my conditions—I'm used to keeping things clean."

"Don't worry, phi. I remember all the conditions."

"I hope you like your room."

"Of course, I like it. Phi Aran, thank you."

Aran places his hand on Satang's shoulder and, smiling, says, "You don't need to thank me. And yes, consider me your brother. If there's anything or any problem, feel free to tell me without hesitation."

Satang, feeling happy, slightly nods his head.

In the university,

Ton, sitting alone in the cafeteria and having lunch, is approached by Kay.

Ton, are you having a fight with Satang? He didn't seem happy when he saw me yesterday, and he didn't come to the room last night. He also hasn't shown up in class today.

Let him do whatever he wants. I don't care anymore.

I was right. The argument between you two was because of me, wasn't it?

Kay, it's not like that. Satang found another place, and the argument happened because of that, not because of you.

"Another place? Does that mean Satang is no longer living with you?"

"Yes, it's probably for the best. I was also tired of his complaints."

"Ton, do you know where he lives now?"

"No, I didn't even know that he was thinking of leaving the room."

Hearing this, Kay gets a bit frustrated. After thinking for a moment, he looks at Ton and says, "Ton, you mentioned that Satang is doing some part-time job."

"Yeah... he has started working at a café."

"Café? Do you know which café?" Kay asks seriously. Ton slightly nods.

Kay smiles slightly and says, "Ton, let's go to the café today with all our friends. Tell everyone that the treat is on me."
