SOTUS: SevenTeen Again

SevenTeen Again (13_A)

Knott introduced himself as a friend of Arthit's like Bright and their conversation was not serious at first. While looking around the office,  Arthit discovered the same gear necklace saying EN 57 as Kongpob's .

"P'Kong has a gear like this.", said Arthit. "Ai'Arthit, you guys exchanged each other's in starting to date. So, N'Kong's gear saying EN59 is yours now." said Bright. Arthit mouthed, '.....So Romantic.' Plus, Knott even gave him a hint, "Chances are, you can find your EN59 gear somewhere in your home."

Their small talk for breaking ice didn't last long. Knott got to the point shortly afterwards.

"Arthit, I have something to tell you." said Knott.

"............Um....it's about work...?"asked Arthit.

"No, It's about N'Kong. Truly speaking, his parents. Do you want to hear?", added Bright.

"Of course, Yes!", Arthit had suppressed his curiosity about them as he didn't want to hurt Kongpob any more.

"It won't be  nice to hear but it's true." warned Knott. 

"You'll need these.", Bright threw some tissues to Arthit.

While listening, Arthit couldn't stop wiping his tears and blowing his nose. There were wadded-up tissues piling up on the table. "How come she did that to her own son..?...I can't believe it. .....", His voice sounded harsh, hoarse.

Though he was not mature enough to understand all the things, Arthit could get part of the truth that Kongpob never talked to him about. When he left Knott's office, Arthit was so worn out that Bright had to help him to get to the parking lot.

"Ai'Arthit, Don't underestimate yourself. We are always ready to help you.", said Bright while driving home. Despite returning home, Arthit remained trapped in his thoughts. He was terribly tired and missed Kongpob at the same time. However, <Sorry, I have a preliminary meeting for the board of directors next week.>, Kongpob was going to be late tonight.

It had been a long day for Arthit. After a shower, he sat at Kongpob's desk in the study. He could smell Kongpob's scent in the air of the study, which made him feel protected. He started writing a dairy

<I got back my broken phone and tablet in the morning which I had left to the customer center the other day. The person in charge gave me a USB with the data remaining in them. Back home, I had to prepare lunch for uncle Bright. He doesn't seem inclined to go back home. I've fought an urge to kill him every day. He is really different from P'Knott. How could they be friends...? 

Oh, my! I met June at P'Knott's office! He is the part-timer who uncle Bright referred to. Ah! It is really surprising uncle Bright asked him to buy the pink milk for me! And.....until the late evening, I've heard about P'Kong's parents.....>

"Wow, amazing. You've done a lot of things today.", Bright remarked looking at Arthit's diary. Arthit shut his diary with a snap right away.

"Hey, When will you go back to your home?

"When complete my monitoring."

Arthit couldn't help but surrender to his guts. Back to his room, Arthit lay in bed and rolled slightly in a daze. His thoughts and emotions were intertwined. '....I don't know what to do....', He sat up in bed and tried to come up with an idea. He had no money, no intelligence, and no memory of them. But....he wanted to console his parents who hadn't met their own son for long and persuade them to meet their son, Kongpob.

"I think sending a letter is okay. Oh, no, It seems too easy.", He looked up at the ceiling.

"Wait, no, writing a letter itself is not important, the message in it is more important.", He made himself convinced of it.
