Chapter 68: Comforting

[*This chapter hasn't been proofread.]

The New Year celebration has passed, and soon after, the studying, assignments, and projects took over. This is definitely a busy, chaotic, and intense time. Just attending classes alone isn't enough, there are also extra makeup classes scheduled. I honestly want to give a trophy to all of us.

It's no surprise that Thailand was voted as the second country with the hardest working students in the world. But I think there should be a follow-up survey on whether this hard work actually brings knowledge. Will I be able to apply it in real life? The Thai education system needs an upgrade, don't you think? Hmph.

Right now, it's around 4 p.m. Me, Phum, Q, Toey, and Fang are having dinner at the engineering faculty cafeteria. Q and I have an extra class until late, so we decided to grab some food for energy. As for Phum and Toey, they  just tagged along.

[T/n: If Phum was just tagging along with you, how did you and Q end up at the Engineering cafeteria? Your faculty doesn't have a cafeteria, Peem?]

I'm not even studying at the engineering faculty; I'm just here for the food. I remember I studied here in my first year, taking an introductory statistics course. It's a basic compulsory subject that every student must take. But even now, I still wonder why I had to learn it. I'm going to be an artist; I want to paint, not learn about averages or whatever. I passed that class with ease. Heh heh.

[T/n: Oh, you're here for the food.They have the best delicious foods. No wonder their boys are delicious too.]

I've already mentioned that Phum and Toey just tagged along, but I'm not sure why Fang came. When Q asked, Fang said he was looking for his little brother, but I don't think that's the reason. Today, Fang seemed unusually quiet and distant. He wasn't arguing with Q like usual. Q teased him, but Fang just gave him a cold stare, which surprised all of us. I think I know why Fang was acting strange.

It's because of... that guy! That guy in the mechanic's shirt draped over his shoulder who's heading towards our table. But when Tan saw him, Fang stopped in his tracks and looked slightly surprised. The rest of us exchanged glances, and the atmosphere turned cold. What's going on with the legendary couple?

Normally, when Tan sees his boyfriend, he rushes over and they start making out, which makes us all feel pissed off. But this time, Tan just sat next to Phum. And his face? He looked utterly annoyed. What's going on? Are you studying computer engineering or mechanical engineering? You look like a wreck.

"Hey Tan, you want anything to eat? I'll have Peem go get something for you."

"You're very funny." I kicked Q under the table. I understood he was trying to lighten the tense atmosphere that like World War III was about to break out, but maybe it would be better if he didn't drag me into it.

"No, I don't feel like eating." Tan replied flatly, and Fang kept his head down, picking at his food. Hey, what's going on? Normally, when they argue, Tan is the one gets quiet. Or is it that this time the one who is wrong is...

"Then where are you going after this? Going home?" I tried to make small talk, but you guys, don't look at me like that. Phum, are you laughing at me?

"I'm not going home yet. I have plans to drink with the guys from soccer." Tan replied.

"P'Krit's group, right?" Toey asked innocently, but Q immediately retorted.

"Why are you asking about him? Is he your husband or something?"

Oh, no. Please, don't start fighting again. Thankfully, Toey's an emotional mess, so instead of getting mad at Q or slapping him on the head, he just laughed and clung to Q's arm.
