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

Chapter 23: Our Trip (Part 2)^o^

After riding horse and watching the sunset, Phum and I came back to take a shower and get ready to enjoy the nightlife of Hua Hin. Should we go to a pub, nightclub, bar, or À gogo*? Haha, all that talk and we didn't go to any of those places. Instead, we went to the night market. Haha, I asked the staff where we should go, and they recommended the night market. I guess I must look like someone who's never been to a market (like I live at Lang Khao**).

[*or go-go bar is often used for certain sorts of strip clubs 😏 If Phum had asked them, maybe they would have recommended an à gogo.]
**หลังเขา (idiom) Lang Khao, literally "behind the hill", figuratively "live under a rock"]

This resort also offers bicycle rentals. It seems like I have to spend money on everything I do. If I had known, I would have studied business instead. But the problem is my math grades never went above a 2. If I have to add numbers beyond two digits, I must use a piece of scratch paper. So, sticking with art and colors was the right choice.

We had a blast racing bicycles, taking sharp turns, and going downhill. It felt like Lance Armstrong possessed us. I almost hit several lamp posts, and Phum nearly went off the road a few times, but we weren't scared. Luckily, we both made it to the market in one piece.

When we got to the market, I realized I didn't bring a bike lock. I was worried about the bikes getting stolen if we left them. No way was I going to ride back to get the lock. I was too tired. Phum said to just leave them and let them get stolen if they must. He joked that he could buy the whole resort if needed. Okay, end of story.

[T/n: I think he really meant it 😌]

The Hua Hin night market was bustling with people, mostly foreign tourists. There was a lot of food and plenty of souvenirs, but I didn't buy any. I'll save that for the day we leave.

I bought a milk shake to quench my thirst, but Phum snatched it from me. When I asked if he wanted one, he didn't answer, but then he took mine and even held it. I had to ask him to bring the straw to my mouth whenever I wanted a sip. Acting all big in a new place, huh? Could you be alittle more considerate?

[T/N: You get an servant. That's great!]

We walked through the food zone and reached the souvenir zone, which mostly had handmade items. I stopped to look at some wooden carvings.

"Peem, wait for me here. I'm going to look at some pictures."

"Okay."

Phum walked to a postcard shop. Whenever Phum sees photos or cameras, he's ready to ditch me like this. I kept browsing and noticed a phone charm of a boy carved from a coconut shell. I picked it up fora closer look. It was pretty cool.

I wondered if Phum would agree to hang one on his phone if I bought one for each of us. Your iPhone is about to get a Thaitouch, Phum! I asked the seller for the price. It wasn't expensive, but it was very expensive, haha. Well, this is a tourist town, so they have to set prices for the foreigners. But considering the meticulousness and craftsmanship,it was worth it.

"Peem, hey, is that you, Peem?" A pretty girl was standing there, panting heavily as if she had just finished a 4x100 relay. She was trying to catch her breath, and I found myself taking deep breaths along with her, worried she might collapse in front of me.

[T/n: 🤣🤣🤣]

She looked at me uncertainly, perhaps wondering if I was crazy. But it was this beautiful girl had just called my name. I looked ather, confused. Her face was familiar, but I couldn't place her name.

"Peem, right?"

"Uh, yes. And you are...?"

She knew me, but would she be disappointed that I didn't remember her? She looked so familiar, but I just couldn't recall. Normally,I have a great memory for women, especially those with pretty faces like this. Peem is the best. He never misses.
