The Whole Nine Yards

Chapter 7

Kong is tired. He went straight from the airport to Arthit's dorm. He didn't even think of buying a new phone. He just want to see Arthit so bad.

Kong knew he screwed up. He didn't get to say goodbye properly and god knows the worry he caused Arthit.

Kong sat beside Arthit on the bed
'You lost sleep. ' he observed.
'Noooo.' Arthit denied.

He just stared at Arthit. He wants to assure himself that Arthit is here. He moved to lean on Arthit's shoulder.

'What?'
'So hard not talking with you.'
'Whose fault was it?
'Mine but did you miss me? Kong teased.

Arthit smothered him with a pillow then turned on his side. Kong peered at him but Arthit is already asleep. He nuzzled his shoulder and covered him with a blanket. His boyfriend is breathtaking. Or as Dan would put it, he is pretty.

When Arthit woke up, he is alone. Did he just imagine that Kong was here? He sees the Pororo plush toy and Kong's luggage. Then Kong came in from the bathroom.

'Morning P'
'Why you up so early?' Kong almost cooed at Arthi running his eyes cutely.
'Its 9 am' he stated.
Oh.'
'Are you going somewhere today?' Kong inquired.
' Yes, we have a meeting for our fundraiser.'
'What for?' he asked curiously.
'SOTUS next year' Arthit explained.
' Oh.I'm going to get a new phone.' Kong informed him

Arthit is torn between attending the meeting and coming with Kong to get his phone. Geez, where is this clinginess coming from?

'We can get it after.' he avoided Kong's gaze as he was saying it.
'Oh so I can come with?' Kong asked eagerly.

Arthit didn't reply. Silence meant yes for Kong.

----O----

'So Kong is gone?' a shocked Prem asked Knot.
'Huhu, so long Kong! We will miss you!' Bright cried.
'Dont be too much, Bright.' Knot hit him.
' Ow! Kong's ghost!' Bright pointed at the two who are walking.

Kong greeted them.

'When did you come back Kong?'
'Just last night, PKnot. Oh these are for all of you.' he offered some gifts from Seoul.
'Ohh nice fann.' Bright winked.

They teased Arthit who just kicked them. Prem and Bright ran. Kong said he will wait in the library, when

'Kong!
'PFang'
'Come join us.'

Arthit just shrugged. In the meeting, Kong realized that the behind the scenes and preparations for a successful SOTUS entails a lot of work . The respect he had for the seniors increased ten fold because of how passionate they are with this.

'Come on Kong, let's grab lunch' the seniors asked.
'I'm fine. I'll catch up with you later' he declined still not wanting to push himself to hang out with them since they are still his seniors.

Arthit is again conflicted but Bright, bless him, stepped in.

'Kong come on. Arthit might panic if he can't see you'
'You guys are the worst.' Arthit barked and moved to strangle Bright.
'Oi!'

'So you lost your phone...' Prem summarized after Kong explained.
'Oh, no wonder, ouch.' Knot is smiling slyly at Arthit who threw an apple an him.

Kong smiled, the seniors are fun to hang out with but it made him miss his friends too.

'You alright' Arthit checked on him.
'Thinking of my friends.'

Arthit just nodded.

'Soooo, we make our exit now? You two are going on a date?' Prem said while tapping Arthit's back
' Um, I'm just going to get a new phone actually' Kong corrected.
'So we can come with?' Prem asked.

He nodded while Arthit just shrugged.

' We're the 3rd to fifth wheels. Don't worry Kong, we won't see anything. won't say anything' Bright announced.

When Kong activated his new phone, everyone peeked. They were stunned when 70+ messages of Arthit flooded in. The three gaped at Arthit who is blushing so hard now.

'Man you are sooooo whipped.' Bright egged him.
'Why did you let them come?' Arthit yelled at Kong.

The three are enjoying, 'Wheres that popcorn when you need it? Bright happily thought.

' I didn't know! I'll read these later. ' Kong tried to pacify Arthit.
'No delete them.' Arthit demanded.
'No way.' Kong objected.
'Haist.' Arthit just walked out . His friends just sniggered. Kong was still undecided whether to run after him when his phone rung,

'Mom, yes, I'm good. Just this time. Okay, thank you.'

-----o----
When they arrived in Arthit's place,

'You kicking me out now, P?' he prodded Arthit.
'Kongpob if you want to leave, then leave' Arhtit exclaimed
'Dont want.'
'There you go.' Arthit stated.

Kong was grinning when he whispered,

'Why cant you just say that you want me to stay?'
'Kongpob...' warning is evident in Arthit's voice

With nothing else to do after Arthit's warning, Kong went to iron their clothes. Arthit just stared at him until he was done. This is so domestic. Arthit shook his head, Don't go there, don't think about it.

'Parthit are u alright?
'Why wouldnt I be? Arthit snarked back and went to bed.

'Oh, P. Dan gave this to you. '

It was a snow globe. Arthit smiled but when he moved Kong is so near him now. Their gazes met. Kong prepared to kiss him but he turned. Kong chuckled and went back to his side of the bed. He loves teasing Arthit but ugh, he wants to kiss him again.

'Stop it Kong! He chastised him.
'I missed you.'

Arthit rolled his eyes.

'We were together all day, cut it out.' Childish it may be, Arthit went to hide under the comforter. Kong just laughed.

In the morning, Arthit was feeling warm, he nuzzled his pillow...that is breathing?

He opened his eyes and looked up, Kong is smiling at him. He was on Kong's chest.

He pushed him.

'P!'
'Why didn't you wake me up' he yelled.
'You slept like a baby' he stated simply.

He bolted to the bathroom but when he went out, Kong is gone.He looked around with worry. Damn hes acting like a teenage girl. He saw the note. When Kong arrived, he saw anger in Arthit's eyes.

'P...'
'Can you freakin' tell me if youre going somewhere?! Arthit blasted at him.

Kong nodded and hugged the older man. Arthit buried his face on Kong's neck. Kong held his chin up and kissed him, assuring him he was there. He nipped on Arthit's jaw and nibbled on his smooth neck. Damn, he's so intoxicating it should be illegal. He paid attention to a spot below Arthit's collarbone, giving him a hickey.

'Kongpob! Arthit shouted when he was out of his daze.
'So you'll know I'm always with you.' he whispered smugly.

He blushed while avoiding his flirt of a boyfriend. He rubbed on it. Kong looked so proud.

'You are going home tonight' Arthit ordered.
'Why P?'Kong was startled with his declaration.
'You're going too far.' Arthit snapped at him.
'Why P......, afraid you'll give it up?' Kong sexily drawled.

A flustered Arthit thought, 'What have I gotten myself into?'

( There, there Arthit. Take it easy✌️)
