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

Chapter 36: Within My Heart (Part 3)

[T/n: I planned to post this part tomorrow, but I'm so  happy because I just got the permission from the author, so I'm posting it right away 😆]

"That was amazing! For the grand stage play of the year that just passed, if Mona Lisa had the chance to watch it, she might have been a bit heartbroken. And it's unbelievable that our club president, P'Jet, could be this good. As a true katoey, I truly salute you, P'Jet. Super surprised!"

P'Jet waved his hand to stop the teasing, drawing laughter from the audience.

"Where did you go, Hia Peem? P'Jet was so hilarious just now." Toey dragged a chair to sit next to me. He looked at Kluen, who sat down next to me. "Hia Peem is having an affair. Toey will tell Hia Phum."

"I'll tell Phum that you didn't take care of me properly for the pay."

"Well, Toey gives you freedom."

"Really? Not just busy watching over your P'Q?"

"What? No way. Toey won't talk to you anymore." I pushed Toey's head, who couldn't argue and ran away. He's as crazy as his P'Q.

"Next is the performance that I've been eagerly waiting for, P'Prae ka."

The voice of Green, the host of tonight's event, echoed. We hired her for three thousand, but she worked like she was paid thirty-eight thousand. Totally worth it. She talked so much that she probably got a bloated stomach from all the air she swallowed. Haha.

"If P'Green is waiting, it must involve men, right ka?"

"Not just any men, P'Prae ka. They're my men. I guarantee they're super delicious. I handpicked them myself."

Nong architecture student at the front table looked scared. Haha.

"Is it that delicious, P'Green?"

"Absolutely. This show is guaranteed to please all the girls in the camp. Without further ado, please welcome the band Fun Fun!!!"

Applause and screams from the girls welcomed Q, K, and two other guys who came to play drums and guitar."

[Sprite: are the other two J and A?
Smv2454: lol]

"Dear hired audience, thank you for the applause and the screams. We paid them twenty, but they screamed like they were paid thirty thousand. I guess the girls at the front table got bitten by ants, they can't stop screaming. Haha."

The young guy on the drums played along with Q's joke, flashing a charming yet mischievous smile, spreading his charm everywhere.

"Ugh, not handsome at all, just keeps smiling."

Kluen and I turned to look at Toey. Kluen might be curious, but I was annoyed. Keep talking, Toey. When you get the big surprise, you'll be speechless.

"Peem, are Toey and Q not getting along?" Kluen whispered to me.

"No, they're just a little mad at each other."

Kluen nodded in understanding and turned back to focus on the stage.

Today, Q chose to sing relaxing songs that matched the atmosphere. It seemed like he kept looking this way often. The person sitting next to me was nervous. After three songs, K and the others left the stage, leaving only Q with an acoustic guitar, making him the center of attention.

"For the last song, I want to sing this for someone special to me."

There was another round of screams before it quieted down, everyone waiting to see what he would do next.

"I want to apologize for making kao* sad and cry. I want to thank them for always trying their best for me. Thank you for still loving me even though I haven't reciprocated. I dedicate this song to tell them that they will always be my past, present, and future."

[T/n: 🫠]
[เขา /kăo/ is a third-person pronoun. It's gender-neutral, so the audience doesn't know if Q was talking about a he or a she. Though I believe most of them think it's a 'she'. เขา is used to refer to people in a respectful and neutral manner. This might be the first time Q uses this word to refer to Toey. Usually, he uses มัน /man/ (rude, informal). He knows when he has to talk nicely 😂]

Within My Heart (ทุ้มอยู่ในใจ) - Kao Jirayu feat Nat Natcha

This is the melody of our memory
Whenever I hear it, it reminds me of the old days
No matter how much time has passed,
This song of ours still resonates in my heart

How is the song of love that you sang?
On lonely days, whose song do you think of?
Since we parted, how have you been? I want to know.

(*) When the clock never stops ticking,
And time changes everything,
But all the good memories are still kept.

(**) I still have only you, just the same, never changing.
I still have only you, just the same, never changing.
The more I feel lonely, the more my heart longs for you
I still have our song.
Whenever I hear it, my heart is still like this.
Let time spin for years,
But this song still resonates in my heart.

The days when my dreams don't come true,
Everything is scattered and falling apart,
But at least I'm still happy that I once had you.

(*), (**), (**)

Even if we don't meet for years,
This song still resonates in my heart.

Q looked at Toey. My Nong met his senior's gaze briefly before lowering his head to wipe away his tears. You crybaby.

"This is for you. Your senior left it for you." I handed three white roses that Q had left with me to give to Toey when he sang this song. White roses symbolize pure love. Three roses represent three words that Q wrote on a blue note attached to the stem. I don't know what those words are, but I know Toey read them with a smile of happiness.

T/n: Guys, I'm so curious. What're those three words? "I Love You" or "Past, Present, Future"???
