After hanging up on Kluen, I went back to sleep. When I woke up again, it was almost 1:00 PM. After showering and getting dressed, I quickly told my mom that a friend was coming over. My mom was thrilled to have her son's friend visit. When Q and the others came to visit, Madam was overjoyed and loved them because she likes handsome guys. Plus, when my friends come over, she gets to pry into my secrets -_-

"When will your friend arrive? I'll have Ging prepare some delicious food to welcome him."

"Around 7 or 8 PM, I think. I'm not sure."

"It's good to have friends over. I've noticed you've been down for a few days."

"Peem is not down, just bored with nothing to do." Lying to make my mom feel better isn't a sin, right?

"Is Nong Kluen a friend from your faculty? You never mentioned him before. You always talk about Nong Phum."

I almost choked on my Nam Phrik Ong paste, "Kluen is from a different faculty, but we do activities together, so we know each other. And when did I talk about Phum? You're making things up, Mae."

"I'm not making things up. Every time I call, you say you're with Phum, and he takes you here and there. I'd like to meet your close friend too. You should invite Phum over sometime. I heard that he's handsome, right? Haha."

[T/n: Where did you hear that Phum is handsome, Mae?]

"He's just so-so." Handsome or not, I don't know. Just know... Don't talk about him right now, ok? Peem can't eat, Mae. Ugh, close friend, huh? Hehe. More like close in body and soul.

"Nong Peem, I think I heard your phone ringing upstairs."

Saved by the bell. I got up from the dining table as soon as P'Ging called, leaving my mom to eat alone.
The caller was Kluen. Why did I feel a bit disappointed? Maybe because I hoped it was Phum calling.

Phum, are you really not going to contact me?

Kluen called to ask for directions to my house because his driver wasn't familiar with the route and wanted to make sure they wouldn't get lost.

After eating, my mom invited me to go to the mall to enjoy the air conditioning because she was worried I'd be bored (actually, she wanted me to carry her stuff). Spending time with my mom was nice. It kept me from thinking too much about someone and feeling too lonely.

"Mae, hello." My mom and I had just returned from shopping when Kluen arrived. He brought his handsome face to greet my mom and even turned to give me a big smile.
