Arthit's POV:
It's lunch break and I'm in the canteen with my friends waiting for our juniors to join us. We all watch as the scene plays out before us. Like clockwork there is always some girl trying to get the attention of one student #0062- Kongpob Suthiluck.
I can't blame them really, this man is the stuff of dreams. Devastatingly handsome, god like body, perfect smile that is freely given, and a kind heart (if not a bit of a hero complex). Oh and did I mention handsome?
We see today's contestant walking up to Kong holding onto a box.
"Alright let's take bets." Bright starts but no one is annoyed. This has become a daily thing.
"Let's see there's a card and a box. Do we bet on time or what's in the box?" Bright asks.
"It's been awhile since he's gotten a gift I say let's bet on that." Prem suggests.
"Scarf! A hand knitted one." Bright says snapping his fingers.
"Asshole. Why would he need a scarf?" I ask smacking the back of his head.
While rubbing his head, Bright looks at me like I'm an idiot then explains his logic.
"Because, my dear friend, nothing says I Love You like personally knitting a scarf for someone." He says nodding his head yes.
"I hate to admit it but Bright makes a lot sense right now." Toota agrees but cringes as he does it.
"I say she baked. Cupcakes." Knott says.
"You got that from the box did you?" I quip.
"I agree that making something may have a greater impact." I can tell he worded his response carefully and it makes me smile.
"So basically you agree with me you just don't want to admit it." Bright says getting cocky.
"I think cupcakes make sense." Prem says and he and Knott high five.
"That's two to two, what's your vote Arthit?" Bright asks.
I take a look at the box. It is big enough for both a scarf or cupcakes. Either choice is good. But what would be unique enough to stand out in a sea of gifts?
"Couple shirts." I say casually.
Bright spits out his drink and Knott is thumping on his back.
"What? It would be original plus she could have made them. That's my bet." Although we will never find out.
We watch as she has her arms holding the box outstretched for Kong. She is very confident right now but things aren't going to go her way. My Kong, among other things, is always honest and faithful.
I see him reject her gift probably with his "I already have a lover" statement. She steps back and looks at him like he's crazy. Then she starts yelling at him.
Well this is new. Many will demand an answer or claim proof of his relationship but I've never seen anyone actually yell at him. And this is where my patience ends.
I stand and start heading towards the girl who is verbally assaulting my boyfriend. I can hear the "ooh's" in the background from my friends but I don't care.
Today I will be the knight.
As I make my approach my arm is grabbed and I stop looking at the source. There, stands a very flushed girl who is looking at me wide eyed and nervous.
"Nong, if you could let go I have something I need to do." I say politely while trying to push her hand off.
"P'Arthit. Just a minute please." She begs, her eyes actually doubling in size.
