Story from Nong Toey's POV

"You're really charming. It's fitting that you're my junior, haha," P'Q said teasingly while we were stuck at a red light.

P'Q had just saved me from that crazy doctor. He even told P'Krit that he was my boyfriend. I was really happy, but I couldn't let him tease me like that. I looked at his smile, thinking of a comeback. What kind of person is so full of himself? People like me because of me, not because I'm P'Q's Nong Code.

"If P'Q's face wasn't so thick, you wouldn't dare to be so full of yourself like this. Toey is charming because Toey is handsome."

"Yeah, yeah. Handsome. So handsome that men come to see you at the faculty. Are you going to follow in Peem's footsteps? Hahaha."

"P'Q, just don't follow the same path as Hia Phum and Hia Tan." P'Q smiled, shrugged, and drove off when the light turned green.

Even though I try to act normal with P'Q, just like with the other seniors, who would know better than me that it's not the same? It has become a small gap between the two of us. I don't hug or act affectionate with P'Q as much. I love Hia Peem and Hia Tan like brothers, so I feel comfortable doing that with them. But with P'Q, no matter how hard I try, I can't think of him as just a brother.

"Do you have an exam tomorrow, my dear Nong?"

"Yes, in the afternoon, my dear Phi."

"Really? If you're not in a hurry to go back, I'll take you out for a treat." I turned to look at P'Q so quickly that my neck almost snapped. I must not have misheard, right?

"Not just a single candy like last time, right?"

Is there any Phi Code who treats their junior with just one candy? I remember it well. On the day we got our lineages, my friends' Phi Code took them to MK, KFC, Fuji, Shabu. But P'Q welcomed me with just one pink Heartbeat candy and even had the nerve to say, "I'm giving you my heart na." I heard that his family is rich, owning hotels and resorts, and that's all he could afford to treat me with.

[T/n: Lesson learned: Be careful of what you joke na. Words can be very powerful and we never know when and how our words will have an effect on reality.]

But that candy is still in the box on my bedside table to this day. Even though P'Q said it teasingly or jokingly, I think it was fitting. Since I had already given my heart to P'Q, I should get a heart in return, even if it's a fake one.

[T/N: ☹️]

And my heart almost jumped out of my chest when I saw the place P'Q took me to. It was P'Oh's shop. Why did he bring me here?

"Hey, Khun Nong Toey krub, are you waiting for a red carpet to be rolled out to your car door? Get out already!"

"Uh... krub."

"Hi P'Oh," P'Q greeted P'Oh, who was busy making coffee.

"Oh, Q and Toey, how did you two come together? Oh, you guys study at the same place, right?"

"Yes, and you know Toey too?" P'Q looked at me confused, probably surprised that P'Oh and I know each other.

"Of course, he's my VIP customer, my beloved little brother."

I smiled at P'Oh. He probably forgot about the pencil case incident from the past, and he didn't know about the post-it notes either.

"How have you been, P'? Does fortune smile upon you these days? Haha."
