This somewhat a translation from Thai to Chinese to English. I've used google translate since i don't have any knowledge on the said languages aside from English (obviously). I have been proof reading and editing part by part, I want to polish everything as I've noticed the context of Thai Language is far more different from English so I think this needs professional assistance lol but at least i tried.
I'll try to post once a week.
Thank you guys happy reading

Pete [POV]
If I don't like boys, maybe it will be better. If I like girls like other boys, my life will not be like this.
This idea is constantly stirring in my mind, why I don't like girls? Why do I like boys? why!
"Hey!" I sighed deeply as I walked on the campus boulevard. Even though the international school bus that can send me to the parking lot has already passed several cars, I refused to wait for another bus. I'm one of the people who don't want to get on the bus.
I prefer to walk, because I can think. The most important thing is that walking will let me get to the parking lot slowly. And when I get home, you don't have to feel guilty and embarrassed every time you face your mother.
If I let my mother know that I am a Gay, how disappointed could she be.
"Ugh......"
"The Fuck! This is the main road of the school, not a racing track! if you want to die, just kill yourself!"
A powerful force dragged me backwards, letting me fall backwards unconsciously. I pulled away from my own thoughts, and there was a brief confusion in my mind. I didn't know what happened, and when I looked up. I'm seeing a person's back squatting in front of me like a pillar, while cursing at a car. Oh, thank God... I just realized that I was almost killed by the car.
There was a lot of things running in my mind that I crossed the road without looking.
I was shaking a little after the accident, my heart screamed, and I was so scared that my eyes were wide, and my legs were as soft as the root noodles. I didn't even have the strength to stand up. I could only look at the person sitting next to me, he suddenly turned around and look at me with a gloomy expression on his face.
"You too, do you want to die or what? Why you're not paying attention when crossing the road?"
I admit astonish at his roar, we just stared at each other's faces, even our hands are trembling. I just heard myself say "I'm sorry ..." Even though I do not know why I apologize but seeing the other person's expression is enough to make me feel uncomfortable. If my mind wasn't filled with thoughts, this could not have happened.
"Well forget it, how are you? You were lucky to get only hit by a bike, but it's better than letting you get hit by the damn car..." the guy said then he stood up and looked at me "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, just got some scratches" I sighed and felt that my elbow was bleeding, and it hurts a lot.
I just pretended to be okay and told I am totally fine but damn it still hurts, but he noticed the bleeding won't stop.
"Really just a scratch? But why you look like you're almost crying, and I doubt you're okay" I don't know what kind of expression I am now, but it's really painful. The more I see the bloody wounds, the stronger the pain.
"I'm okay, thank you for saving me." I whispered, he was very kind anyway, and although he looked so fierce, and the way he speaks was a bit harsh. Then he shrugged and walked to the other side of his bike, I was wondering seeing him propped up pretending to be okay after that horrendous fall.
I admit that when I saw him holding up his bike and sitting up to see that I was going to leave, my heart sank to the bottom of the valley, but I could only comfort myself: It doesn't matter, I will just wait for the school bus to send me to the parking lot. This is just small injury I can still drive.
"Get on the bike, I will take you to the infirmary." I heard he say, and I was stunned there for a second. This seemingly fierce person looked back at me again, and the tone was as fierce as before. I can only say: "Oh, I don't mind!"
"Will you stop saying you're ok when you're not? Get on the bike now." I didn't dare to respond now. I certainly didn't dare to say that I was fine, so I forced myself to move over from his bicycle. Judging by the height, I found out that this boy seems to be shorter than me, but this is not a problem. My problem lies elsewhere.
"Sit up, don't tell me you have never been in the back seat of a bicycle."
"I haven't." I honestly told him that I haven't seated nor ride a bicycle my entire life, which makes him cannot help but laugh. "It is the stupid young master of the landlord... just like the back seat of a motorcycle. Don't tell me you haven't even taken a motorcycle?"
"No..." his expression become a mix of murder and disgust, my voice unconsciously lowered. I really didn't take a motorcycle. In my whole life, I only sat in a car, and there was also a school bus. I didn't want to get into trouble, so I sat on the back seat of the bicycle that was swaying as if it could fall apart at any time.
"Sit like that."
"Well, are you OK because you got an injury too?"
"Hey, my friend is bigger than you, I can manage." He replied a bit irritated. He didn't like others to say that he couldn't.
"By the way, what is your name?" I was trying to hold myself on the back seat of my first bicycle ride. I raised my head. I didn't dare to touch his clothes. I was afraid that he would yell at me again... but he instructed me to hold him onto his waist... giving a sense of security, as if he was always ready to protect others.
"Pete, my name is Pete."
"Your name is really in line with the temperament of the young master. My name is Ae. Hold on tight, I will hurry up before you run out to blood you looked pale already" Struggling with the pedals, I quickly grabbed corner of his clothes so that I will not fall off. Wondering how this person can ride so fast, especially when there still a person sitting behind it.
It wasn't long before I was taken to the school doctor's office. I followed the nurse that tend examined my wounds. Before I entered the treatment room, I looked for him whom was showing me a smile. Aside from the fierce and impatient expression, this is the first time I saw a smile on his face. I was a little embarrassed. I found myself blushing...
"Nurse, where's my friend who brought me here?" I asked the nurse outside holding my arm where the wounds are. The nurse thought about it and then suddenly smiled. "Oh, is that the little boy with a dark skin? He told me to tell you that he must go first because he had to go to the training." I thanked the nurse and limped out of the school doctor's office. I didn't know how to get to the parking lot. I just couldn't help but smirk... I giggled like a silly dog.
*Note
Take care and pay attention when crossing the road.
Ai Koon Chai.
Ae [POV]
"Ae, can I borrow your notes?"
"You must learn scum, you don't take notes, don't you have hands?" I was really annoyed with Pond. He fell asleep like a dead pig in class and woke up after class. Then he will reach for me to borrow my notes. And this Italian mixed-race white person dangled in front of my eyes all day, I can't wait to lift my foot to take him back to Italy.
"Please, Ae, lend me your notes, don't you care about me?" I didn't feel anything with his pleading and I even want to say that you deserve it, but I took out my notebook and threw it to the other side of the desk. I was about to leave when he suddenly said, "If our other classmates were taking notes as well, I wouldn't bother asking you..."
Hey!!
Without waiting for him to finish, I decisively lifted my foot and flew on him. Pond screamed and looked back at me with dismay. I didn't care. I took the bag and swayed in front of him.
"Where are you going? There is training at 6 pm."
"Going to practice football. If you have a watch, you should know that there are still three hours away from training. It is better to use these three hours to study well. Don't just spent it watching porn." Then I left the college and ignored Pond.
When I came out of the college, I went straight to the bicycle parking lot.
"I wondered if what is he doing right now" I thought to myself
I shrugged helplessly. It's been a week since I saved that guy. It's a bit irritating to think about it. I think he is not stupid, but he doesn't pay attention when crossing the road! But in fact, it's okay, he's kind of stupid, cute, and asks what's all confusing and honestly answering you. He looks so good... it's 10,000 better than Pond.
"Forget it, I'm sure he's okay. He also said that he won't lose too much blood." I shrugged and slammed my bicycle to the football field on the other side of the school. After all I haven't seen him for a month especially, that guy is pure and honest, will anyone bully him? But he is in a place with Sun, and no one should dare to bully him.
"Give me the money, do you want your mother to see that video?!"
Geez, is this a kindergarten kid playing a gangster game? Seriously? extort money in the parking lot!
I stopped at the same time as I cursed and looked at the parking lot that was almost filled by the students of the International College students. I saw a tall guy who was not like a student, was holding a man's collar, two Standing next to a luxury car.
Where are the security guards going?
"No."
"what did you say?"
"I said no!" Listening to the voice that said "Do not give" is familiar, as I've passed through the vehicles and saw the source of those voices I suddenly ran rushing to them
"Ai Pete!"
He seems to be crying now, his eyes are a bit red with tears, and his lips is shaking, but he is determined not to give money to the person who is much taller than himself. I see this young master playing no one can beat it.
"Well, then I will send this video to your mother," the guys said with a mocking expression on his face "Will your Mom be happy for her only son?"
"If you want to send it, send it! but I won't give you any money, I won't give you anymore!!!" Pete snarled, sounding through the parking lot, at the bastard.
He the punch Pete's face, I cursed and rushed forward to stop it, but I was bit late, but I didn't give him another chance to land the second punch, I fleeced his punch and hit him right in the face.
"You!!!" he screamed, licking his busted lips and turning his head to glare at me. I laughed and responded." Although I am not tall, but I am as strong as a cow, who dares to provoke me, especially my friends who needs help"
"Ae!!!" I heard Pete called my name and went to him. We stared at each other's face. *stunned
At that point, some unintelligible guy stood up from the ground and then gave us a looked of "I understand" expression.
"Oh, this is your new husband? Oh~ your taste is getting lower and lower!"
"Ok? Husband?" I thought to myself.
"And you! you shorty, are you looking for a fight?"
"You dare to interfere?!" When he rushed to me and eager to punch me, I escaped he's side's attack and then lifted my knees and stuck right to his stomach.
"A shorty like me is more than enough to take you down!" I said coldly.
"Hey! Remember this! we're not done yet, and you Pete, the video will be delivered to your mom tonight!" he said said viciously, and not knowing I was ready to kick him again but he already fled and ran away.
"Let him die, what the hell is this?" I sighed and looked back at Pete. I saw him sitting on the ground, then buried his head between his knees.
"Hey, don't you cry!"
I am ready to do something with others, but I don't know how to comfort a crying person. I could only stand in the same place, then leaned and sat down on the door of the Mercedes-Benz who didn't know which rich second generation kid owns it, could not help but sigh.
"Thank you..." Pete didn't stop crying, sobbing and thanking me, I couldn't help but sigh again.
"Well, every time I meet you, there are all sorts of things happening." I told him without thinking about it. After realizing what I've said, Pete trembled even more. He blurted out the sentence "I'm sorry."
"If you want to thank or apologize, then please don't cry anymore. I don't know how to comfort people." I admitted, but actually I want to comfort him. I haven't comforted anyone but I guess it really won't matter that much.
Then he suddenly said "Ae, you can go now, I'm fine... I'm really fine, let me cry for a while, I will stop eventually."
Should I leave him here? What if the bastard come back to hurt him again...
Finally, I took out my mobile phone and told the seniors that I couldn't go to practice football. My words made Pete look up and stare at me. He was so fragile that he was so different with his looks.
Frustrated and shook his head.
"But I am a Gay!"
"..."
I was stunned by his words. I just had a guess when the bastard said about his husband, but I don't mind at all. I don't care if he is Gay or what. I just want to save him, and that's all. However, he confessed to me that he was Gay and buried his head deeply afraid that I would hate him.
Gay is also a human, what am I afraid of?
"Well, homosexuality is not an infectious disease." I leaned my head against the door of this expensive Mercedes-Benz. I watched Pete sinking and sitting there repeating saying "Thank you!"
"OK, OK, stop thanking me I'm not the Buddha. What's really between you and that guy ah?" The man I mentioned a little patience, Pete froze for a moment, then said to me slowly from the things between them, I just listened quietly.
Pete [POV]
I am a Gay. I am aware of my sexuality when I started to fantasize the same sex. I like to watch boys. At first, I thought it was purely an appreciation. This feeling will not last until the end. However, as I grow up, I realized that I would never like a girl in my life.
At first, I hid my sexuality, I never tell to anyone, and then tried to make myself look like a normal guy, but that was not the real me. Later on, I met a senior high school student. He likes to talk to me. He likes to teach me homework. He likes to be close to me. At that time, I thought I probably liked him, until one day he wanted me to date him. I immediately agreed to him. I thought that day was my happiest moment, but I never thought it was my most painful moment.
We kissed, and the crazy kiss once made me feel that something crazier happened next. However, after the kiss, he pushed me away. At that time, he looked at me like I was crawling out of the mud. At the same time, my high school classmate also walked to the corner of the room, where he placed a mobile phone that he set to take clip of us kissing.
He told me that if I didn't want my mother to know that her only son was a homosexual, I should use money to exchange. I mistakenly agreed to senior student that day. He clearly didn't liked me from the beginning he just used me to get what he want...
"Are you stupid? Do you really think that I will fall in love with you? I felt so sick when I hold you!"
That day, I stood there like a silly dog and looked at the person I thought I liked and the person who I thought was a good friend. He said that he was skeptical that I didn't like girls at first, just wanted to verify it, but I didn't expect it to last. He have been extorted money from me. How long have I given them money in a row? Three months.
I also often think, why I do not like girls? Why do I like boys? I was so confused and starting to hate myself.
That day, I was almost hit by a car when I was crossing the road. He just called me and said that he was coming to ask for money but I refused him and I said that I will never give him anymore. I didn't know what I had done for someone to do this to me...
And the face of the person who saved me suddenly appeared in my mind. I finally got the courage to come out with my mother because of him. That night when I got home I decided to tell my mother who I really am.
I thought my mother would be angry and reject her only son... that I let her down, but she just cried with me and then apologized to her: "My son, nothing was wrong being gay, to say whose fault, that is my fault, I didn't noticed it in time, sorry... sorry!"
My mother held me crying just like the day she decided to divorce my father. At the time, she said that she was so devoid of my father's love. But I know that my dad is derailed, and my mother's decision is not wrong. My mother said that there's nothing wrong with me, no matter what I become, I will always be her son.
From that time on, I decided that no matter what happened, I would never let him threaten me with my identity as Gay. I also decided not to tell my mom about the blackmailing. I don't want to let her down again. I am very happy that she accepted me for who and what I am.
I don't know why I told Ae about this, but I still told him everything since I need to release these. it's hard to keep it all by myself. And Ae just listened quietly, without interruption, no interjection, no speech, I thought he might hate me like everyone else.
I finished telling him everything, who I am... but I didn't dare to turn my head to see how Ae looks.
At this time, someone has come to the parking lot to pick up the car, but I am too lazy to care about how others will look at me, anyway, international students in the college are not very united and friendly. I am not even close to others. The only peopl who is close to me is a group of students who work together to write homework.
The sky began to change color, the sun was a bit warmer now, and the sunshine at 3 o'clock in the afternoon became soft. There was silence between me and Ae, I was getting the feeling of losing, maybe, I lost again. A friend.
I was cut off from my thoughts when he suddenly speak.
"Can you stop crying, do you wants to drown with your tears?" Ae just sighed when I pressed my head hard again onto my knees to cry, I felt him stood up and I looked up reluctantly.
"If he come to you again, tell me, I am from the Engineering College and you can also see me at the football field." Ae said, staring back at me, and the gave me soft laughter that rang through the parking lot. I started to admire him more that even if he is not as handsome and tall as the senior, as long as he smiles, it gives me the feeling of safety and made my heart beats abnormally.
"You cry like a cat, don't look at me with that kind of look, I don't hate you, is Gay not a person? Now can get up, I will go to training later." Ae smiled at me. Reaching out his hand to me, I hesitated, and finally got the courage to put my hand in his palm, as he said, I felt his great strength, just pulled me up.
"Can you go home alone?"
"Yes, my car...this is the car." I pointed to the Mercedes he was leaning on, Ae looked at me with amazement, and then said to himself what a young master, I didn't feel angry when I heard it. Because Ae's tone doesn't mean to despise people, it means that there is a kind of self-spit.
"Well, when you go home, pay attention to driving and safely, and make it clear to your mother, otherwise the bastard will get in the way and make more trouble before you confess to your mother, and you got bruises on your face." He remind me that there was something waiting for me at home, which made me suddenly pick up, but I went back and said, "Would you like me to send you to the engineering college?" Ae also looked back at me and shrugged. "No, I am riding a bicycle." He pointed to the bicycle in the distance. The boy who was a few centimeters shorter than me was going to walk towards his bicycle. I felt that he was stronger than me.
"You have to go, you don't have anything to do here, hurry, or you will be late for training." The tone sounds unconcerned, but Ae still stands still, watching me until I got into the car. I wanted to say something but didn't know what to say. All I could do was start the car and leave the parking lot before I saw him go to his bicycle and go in the opposite direction.
Although today's experience made me feel bad but there's something that made nervous or should I say excitement? I put my hands in my chest and felt my heart beating vigorously, as if the next second would jump out of my chest.
I tried to restrain myself from going to like someone again, but I... I fell in love with a boy again. This time I feel completely different from the last time.
I think I fell in love with Ae.
The boy who is small and thin, but broad-minded.
If I told him that I like him, would he hate me?
"Maybe you should try hard."
And my story with him... from that day, started...
To be continued...
