Going For A Trip [ไปเที่ยวกันปะ] - A​ 2Moons Fanfiction

Mochit 2

ที่นั่งอยู่ไหน
Which seat?

They were running through the crowded MRT Hualamphong station at morning time. This was one of the worst time to travel in Bangkok by road. So, they decided to take MRT from Hualamphong station to Chatuchark Park station instead. They should run if they wanted to make it on time. Thanks to that sleepy head, Wayo, for this unwarranted morning exercises. Ming had to use Phana's name to actually get that snorlex out of his bed. He had been relentlessly knocking on the door that Frink had to come out from her room to check out on things. Way to humiliate me, Ai'Yo!

They were supposed to meet at Mochit 2 Bus Terminal at 8.00 am since their tickets to Siem Reap was at 9.30 am. They needed to come early in order not to miss the bus. The bus company was the only company providing direct services from Bangkok to Siem Reap, crossing the border. And they only had two trips in the morning per day. No evening trip! So, missing the bus would be a big let down for their trip. Or what Ming called as Pha-Yo's Love Journey.

"Ai'Yo, hurry up! It's 7.45 am already!" Ming was running down the stair while looking back at his loved friend.

"Wait for me, Ming!" Wayo was trying to catch up his breath while continuing his pace. Damn this heavy bag!

Before they managed to get at the autopay machine, they were stopped by the security for screening. Do we look suspicious? Both Ming and Wayo a little bit annoyed with the security officer who was thoroughly  checking their stuff which took their precious ten minutes and made them missed the train. Way to go, Ming snorted. Then, they had to wait for another ten minutes for the next train. Luckily, during peak hours like this, the trains were more frequent but the throngs were suffocating.

"Please stand behind the line and allow passengers to disembark first before entering the train. Thank you."

That announcement alarmed the passengers of an approaching train. Five minutes after 8.00 am. They were late but they hoped they wouldn't missed the departure. Once the door was opened, people immediately pushed into the vessel. And carrying big backpack on one's back was not an easy thing inside a crammed train.

"Can you tell me again, why we have to take bus to Siem Reap instead of taking flight? Flight is faster, convenient and less hassle." Wayo complained once the train was ready to move.

"Ai'Yo, which part of backpacking don't you understand? We are travelling, not on vacation. Besides, you are the one who dragged me into this. I should be the one who should complain, khun nuu*." Ming teased the short guy for being a spoilt brat.

Wayo was still in his grumpy mood. He was sweating, flustered, tired and sleepy. He was supposed to still be on his comfy bed and lazing around during this term break. But, no! That jerk had too hauled his ass for this trip. If he won the bet, Wayo would definitely make that jerk his slave for a term. Wayo felt the bag on his back was getting heavier with time as he was standing in a full train. He wished to put the bag down for a while but with this crowd, he just had to bear with it. Seven more stations, he quipped.

"Ai'Yo, could you stand properly for a second?" Ming suddenly asked Wayo to follow his instruction.

"What is it for?" Wayo grunted but still obeyed Ming. He stood still for a few seconds. Then, he looked at Ming's face who was at a verge of breaking into laughter.

"Ai'sat*! What are you laughing at?" Wayo swore and wished to smack this year University Moon but being shorter than Ming made his attempt futile. And this made Ming laughed even harder.

Wayo hushed Ming as people started to look and stare.

"I feel sorry for you, Yo. Did you notice that your backpack was almost third quarter of your height? You look so adorable!" But Ming kept laughing at Wayo which the short guy retorted with a stomp on Ming's foot. And Ming yelped in pain.
