Chapter 54: The Model

"Hey, listen up, you monkeys and gibbons!" The voice of the art master rang out as he banged the blackboard with an eraser. Yes, a blackboard, not a whiteboard. The noisy chatter of the sparrows gradually died down.

"Ladies and gentlemen, stand up, please!" This was followed by a cheeky order from Q, which made the whole class burst into laughter.

"Good morning, teacher!" We all greeted the teacher in unison, laughing at how silly we sounded. Even with our teachers, we didn't hold back.

"Good morning, students. Amphai, Anyu? (I'm fine, and you?)" Our teacher is even better, making us laugh even harder.

"Pa, you're so cool!"
[Pa (ป๋า)= Dad]

We all laughed heartily at the man in the scruffy clothes and messy hair, who was actually a doctor. His knowledge and appearance seemed to be at odds. Because of this, no one in our department called him 'professor'; we called him 'Pa Kul' because of his coolness, which made him an idol for us artists.

Pa Kul had been teaching us drawing since our first year. He was also our section advisor. We were so close, more like friends than teacher and students (both a bit eccentric). Especially with Q, they were like long-lost brothers. They were best buddies because Pa Kul had a slogan that Q loved.

"I judge my students by their hearts, not by their grades."

Because of this, Q had declared himself Pa Kul's top student.

"So, can I get a grade of 1 or 2, Pa? But I'll be a good person." Q joked. That was too low; he'd definitely get kicked out.

"Are you showing slides again today, Pa? We can't see them. It's like an outdoor movie. Why don't you use technology like others?" Joe teased.

"Why? Others can use projectors if they want, but I'll use slides. Anyone got a problem with that?"

"No krub, Professor!" We all laughed.

Throughout the class, we had a great time, laughing and learning. It felt more like a café than a classroom. Haha.

When lunchtime came, Q took me to pick up Toey to have lunch together, but Toey had already gone to eat with his friends in Yaowarat. Q was throwing a tantrum (I saw him calling to teach ' how to argue in Thai').

After hanging up on that kid, he practically dragged me to the central cafeteria, where all kinds of wild animals were waiting to eat. There were tigers, lions, bulls, and penguins??

As soon as Fang saw me, he gave me a mischievous smile, "So, I heard my brother took you to meet our mom? How was it? Have you set a wedding date yet? Since you're already engaged." He glanced at my finger with a ring on it. Fang, you're really dangerous. "Haha, silent, huh?" He lifted my chin and turned my face side to side. Phum didn't even think to help me, just sat there smiling. "When are you going to change your last name to ours, huh, sister-in-law?"

"When you change your last name to Tan's, friend-in-law. Hahaha."

[T/n: smv2454 was confused that if I mistakenly translated "brother-in-law" to "friend-in-law". I confirm that it's "friend-in-law" 😂]

"Fuck!" He pushed my face away before turning to mess with Tan, who was laughing and reaching out to shake my hand. He could dish it out but couldn't take it. Hmph.

"By the way, where are Pan and Mick?" Q craned his neck, looking for the alien duo. We had been eating for a while, but there was no sign of them.

"I sent them to buy drinks, but they stopped to flirt with the som tam vendor's granddaughter. There they are." Chan nodded towards the back. We turned to see Pan and Mick walking arm in arm, grinning widely. When they reached the table...
