"You played this verse wrong."

Whip!

"Why didn't you get full marks in that exam?"

Whip!

Why? Why? Why? Why?

Whip! Whip! Whip! Whip!

Gasp!

I was shocked when I woke up and got out of bed, my whole body was still shaking. The sunlight was shining directly into my eyes that I had to squint. The sound of my grandmother's whip still haunts me, no matter how old I get. But I haven't had a dream like this for a long time. Why?

Then I remembered the bruises on A-Nueng's calves. The cheerful girl tried to hide her pain from everyone. Maybe that's what triggered me to think about my unhappy past. But the past made me who I am today. That makes me, Khun Nueng, who doesn't care about anything in the world.

I woke up at an unusual time today. What should I do in the morning? Go give alms of food to the monks? I barely had enough food for myself. If I give charity, then I will be the one who steals the food to eat. Ahh, I don't have any goodness in me.

I didn't have much to do every day except going out at night to try to make money from sketching, so I trained my body to wake up at 3pm. But it's only 9am. How about now?

Because I woke up too early, my stomach told me that I was very hungry. I glanced at the plastic shelf containing instant noodles. However, today it's empty. Oh my. Even instant noodles betrayed me. I have to spend more money.

In the end, I showered, brushed my teeth and walked down the stairs to go out to find something to eat. But I had to stop for a moment when I saw someone, I knew peeking around.

"Chet."

"Khun Nueng."

I squinted at the man who almost became my husband consciously. My eyes caught his shy gaze.

"You're following me, aren't you?

I put my hands in my trouser pockets and sigh.

"Just meeting by chance once is enough, right? You're making me uncomfortable, Chet. "

This is me. When I was younger, I wasn't as outspoken as I should have been. I finally realized that to live comfortably in this world, I needed to learn how to say no or express my thoughts honestly. If I have to restrain myself, it's my expressions and emotions, which I do until it becomes my personality, like I will smile when I'm angry, and I will smile when I'm happy, so people can't tell the difference.

"I think we understand each other now? See you then."

"I miss you, Khun Nueng."

I closed my eyes slowly and fell silent. He won't let it go the conversation ends well?

"But."

"At least let me treat you to a meal, please?"

"Treat me to a meal."

As soon as I heard it, I smiled at the person who appeared at the righttime, as if he knew it. I then played the role of the singer, Mook (Worranit), smoothly.

"If you miss me that much, fine. I'll pick the place."

"That's fine by me."

Even though my place was around Din Daeng, I shamelessly forced the former Prime Minister's son to take me to eat at Samut Songkram. I saw a review of a seafood place on Facebook and had been wanting to eat at this place for a long time. I can't believe it that day has come.

Sometimes I miss my grandmother. My grandmother is rich. Because of her, I can eat delicious food. That's the only good thing about having her in my life.

"Eat as much as you want."

Chet, who I tricked into taking me 100km in search of food, was still looking at me in awe. He still looked at me as if he adored me, no matter how many years had passed. Not the appearance of someone who could be my husband or the father of my children. He's not worthy enough.

"You said it. I will not hold back."

"From now on, whenever you want to eat something delicious, you can call me all the time. I will come to you."

He expected me to contact him to get food, nice. If that had worked, I would have had many husbands by now.

"You're acting like a puppy."
