they have dinner at one of the dining halls. just like the rest of the resort this one is as grand as the others. kongpob and arthit came in together after spending some more time at the private villa. after that kiss, them watching the sunset together, they both felt that something shifted in their relationship. it’s one of those moments where you get shook to the core leaving you feeling new and content.
arthit thinks he cannot love kongpob more than he does now but he was wrong. he brought his boyfriend to watch the sunset at the private villa because he knows his boyfriend will appreciate it; and kongpob did appreciate it and more.
he wanted to stay there forever. he wanted that moment to last but arthit knows, just like the setting sun, that night will have to come and they will have to move on. at the same time he also knows there’s no moving on from what had happened earlier.
arthit doesn’t want to let go of kongpob anymore but his boyfriend has to join his teammates at their table and he needs to join his fellow seniors at theirs.
his friends teases him immediately the moment arthit takes his seat next to knott.
“where have you been, arthit?” bright smirks.
“what did you and kongpob do?” toota asks.
“none of your business.” arthit rolls his eyes. his friends can be busybodies sometimes – all the time.
“aww, arthit, we were just asking,” bright pouts, “you guys have been gone for a long time –
“instead of helping us,” toota mutters.
“let’s leave arthit alone you guys,” knott says. “let him have his fun with his boyfriend for a while.”
“not you, too!” arthit turns to knott and frowns.
“it’s alright, arthit,” knott claps him on the back. “just spend your time with n’kongpob. these two are just jealous ‘cos they have no one.”
“you have no one, too.” mutters bright.
“you’re so mean, knott.” toota feigns crying.
“why are you so quiet?” arthit then turns his attention to prem.
“he’s missing a certain someone.” toota supplies.
“i am not!” prem glares at toota who hides behind bright.
the staff then comes in and tells them that the buffet is ready. they all stand up and the freshmen all look at them; they’re expecting all the seniors to go in line first but arthit waves at them and tells them they can all fall in line. just because they’re seniors and he’s the head hazer doesn’t mean he’s going to use that anytime to one up other people. he’s not that arrogant.
they all stand up and fall in line with the first years. the group disperses – they’re here to bond with the juniors as well; toota heading towards someone he’s been eyeing since the beginning, knott talking business with tew, prem gladly taking pictures of the different teams, bright sweet talking the ladies. arthit, well, he’s a shy person to begin with and small talks bore him so he just stands there until he feels a presence behind him.
he already know who it is so he smiles.
kongpob hands him a plate and smiles back. he’s with his friends who greets him. arthit has quite warmed up with his boyfriend’s friends; he likes how arthit sees himself in them – rambunctious but loyal. he and his friends all started like that, too.
