[Yoryak's POV]

He's weird. I mean, Dr. Wandee, who stitched up my new wound. He said many things I didn't understand, and I've been thinking about his sentences until today. It's been three days already.

I thought about it over and over again before I realized that he forgave me and didn't get angry with me for what I had done.

But the fact that he told me to go to eat with him and that he would pay me monthly, I didn't dare guess what he was thinking. He didn't think I had sex to scam his money, did he?

I'm not a scammer. I have money.

"Yak, what's wrong? You've been looking stressed for many days. Phi Ye asked me to ask you. He didn't dare ask himself, afraid that you would think he was nagging."

"Uh... Nothing," the person who asked me was Cherry. And as soon as I came to my senses from thinking about Dr. Wandee, I met Oye's gaze, staring at me from the boxing ring.

Oye's eyes didn't hide even a bit of doubt. I denied it, but shook my head in disbelief before Cherry walking back to Phi Ye and whispering.

The two of them didn't talk loudly, perhaps because it was crowded in the boxing gym in the evening and not suitable for private conversations.

Earlier, Ye was training several boxers, while Cherry was sitting and marketing courses, explaining the teaching program to new clients. When it was time for a break, Ye sent Cherry to ask me and the two pairs of eyes looked at me suspiciously. I was practicing quietly alone, so I had to stop practicing and walk over to the two of them.

"Phi Ye doesn't believe you. Phi Ye says your face looks like you're in pain."

"Please tell Phi Ye that I'm really okay."

"What's wrong with you two? Can't you talk to each other? You're standing right next to each other," Cherry said, crossing his arms and rolling his eyes disapprovingly at Phi Ye who was looking at me with an annoyed expression.

That's right, why didn't I just talk to Ye myself? I turned to look at my older brother, saying in a flat voice.

"I'm fine. Just feeling a little worried."

"Worried about what?"

"Someone misunderstood me."

"Misunderstood what?"

"It's not a big deal. I probably won't see that person again. Don't worry about it. I'm... about to forget about it."

"Yeah, you don't have to practice anymore. Go eat something."

"Then Ye, are you going to eat too?"

"Phi Ye is going out to eat dinner with me. Son, you'll be eating alone today." Cherry leaned his head on Ye's shoulder. In fact, he is two years older than me, but he doesn't let me call him 'Phi' and often likes to call me 'son'. Because Ye is like my father. When he first started dating Ye, he teased my brother by calling me 'son'. Even after they started dating, he still calls me 'son'.

"Can you eat alone?"

"Go ahead Phi. I'm grown up now. Don't worry about me."

I waved them off, glancing at the digital clock on the wall. The gym would be closing in just half an hour. Many people had started to leave, but some of the fitter ones were still practicing.

"If you're going out to eat, take a shower and change your clothes. There's nothing here anymore, right? I'll take care of it."

"Yeah, I'll go."
