CHAPTER 37: The Gift

"Nueng."

"Yeah?"

"Are we going to talk about this?"

I followed A-Nueng into the bathroom and crossed my arms over my chest as I looked at the woman in my care, my friend's daughter and someone close to being my lover. The cheerful woman knew what she wanted to talk about, but she just gave me a wide smile indifferently.

"I'm doing this because you're afraid that someone will suspect something if I'm too attached to you and don't date anyone. I'm dating someone now. My father and my grandmother won't suspect anything."

"Does Folk know he's being used? This is not pleasant at all, A-Nueng."

I shook my head to show my disapproval. Playing with someone's feelings was selfish. If you didn't like the person, you shouldn't give them hope or use them by doing something like this.

"Folk would agree with that. It is beneficial for everyone. He's happy to go out with me and I can use him as my fake boyfriend when in reality..."

A-Nueng walked up to me and laced her fingers around my second button from the top.

"I'm with someone else."

I grabbed A-Nueng's hand and squeezed it tightly while shaking my head.

"This is not okay. As your tutor who will groom you to be a perfect lady, I cannot allow you to hurt someone for your own benefit."

I pushed A-Nueng's hand away from me to show how serious I was about this.

"Let's find another solution. Do not do this."

"What better solution do we have? I won't let you go out with my father."

"I never said I would date your father. I already rejected it. And I want you to do the same with Folk."

"Ohh..."

A-Nueng tilted her head a little and looked at me mischievously.

"Or you're actually jealous."

"Stop wasting time."

I spread my five fingers wide before shoving the petite woman in the face.

"I'm serious. You break up with him and confess that..."

"I'm in love with you? Fine."

I gave the petite woman a bored expression as she used such a high pitch that it was like she was on top of a mountain.

"You know what I mean."

"It's okay."

"Stop making that noise. "

"Kiss me and I'll stop."

"Nonsense."

"It's okay."

I tried not to smile as A-Nueng continued to give me her Duchenne smile. I just sighed and leaned down to kiss her on the mouth. To be honest, I never thought I would be doing something like this. I never thought I would adore someone so much younger than me that I would kiss her in a public place. This was nothing like Sippakorn.

"Ahh..."

I forgot we were in a public bathroom. And because I wasn't careful enough to check if anyone else was here, it seemed like another customer heard and saw everything. I could tell by the redness on her cheeks as she quickly left without even washing her hands.

"Did she see us?"

"What do you think? "

"Brilliant."

"How is that?"

"At least someone knows that we really love each other. I want everyone to know it. But it turns out that the whole world includes my grandmother, my mother, and also my father against it. And it's better that they don't know it. I'm happy the way it is. Keeping this a secret is kind of exciting."

I reached for my hand to mess up her hair and smiled adoringly at her. I didn't know how to describe exactly how I felt. It was a mix of obsession, adoration, and cute aggression that I couldn't identify. Our relationship is really complicated.

[What do you think about the matter?]

Chet's voice was on the other end of the line. I returned to my palace after leaving A-Nueng. The father did not dare to say anything in front of his daughter, so he preferred to call me to discuss it with me now.

"It's what you wanted. You don't want her to date a tomboy, so now she's dating a man."

I was clearly frustrated. And Chet knew it.
