Forever and a Dae

Jump

“Who’s that guy?” Arthit asks, watching the retreating figure in question.

    “A first year,” Kongpob answers, “N’Dae was it? He just transferred here.”

“Huh,” he huffs, “Anyway, here’s your food.”

    Kongpob takes the plastic bag and smiles at his boyfriend. “Don’t you have work today, Oon?”

    “I requested a day off. I have to take care of some paper works here,” Arthit says. He raises his brows at Kongpob and says, “And it’s P’Ai’Oon. Don’t call me too casually.”

    “I’m your boyfriend,”

    “And I’m your senior.”

    “Whatever you say, P’Ai’Oon,” he whispers at Arthit’s ear.

    Arthit squirms, blushing like they haven’t been dating for more than 3 years already. “Kongpob!”

    His boyfriend just chuckles and shakes his head. “Eat with me?”

    “No more classes?”

    “All done.”

    Arthit nods. They head towards Kongpob’s dorm as they chat. He still can’t believe it’s been more than 3 years already. Time seemed to have flown too fast for Arthit to catch up. But they’re here, still here, despite all the challenges they have faced along the way he still get to walk side by side with his Kongpob.

    His boyfriend had taken the Head Hazer position seriously as he intended which was good. Arthit didn’t expect any less from Kongpob to begin with. There were problems at first, yes, but Arthit had also encountered problems in his first day as well. Look how well it turned out in the end.

    Arthit finally was able to work on his favored department; he’s been working at the production department for a couple of months now as an associate engineer and it’s what Arthit had always wanted. It didn’t hurt that there was a raise in his salary as well.

    A lot has changed since he boldly announced his relationship with Kongpob during the intern farewell party at Ocean Electric that night. One was Arthit was able to meet Kong’s parents at an awkward dinner at their house.

    “Por wanted to ask if you’ll visit next weekend.” Kongpob asks. They’re back at his boyfriend’s dorm, dinner set up on the table.

    “I still can’t believe he’s shadowing me,” Arthit bites his lips. He can’t believe how Kongpob’s family accepted their relationship that fast.

    Kong chuckles. “He says it’s your punishment,” Arthit raises his brows at him and Kongpob continues, “For not telling them about us first. Instead of announcing it on your company.”

    Arthit winces. Mr. Suthiluck is a gentle man with bright eyes but he can get intimidating when it comes to his son.

    He shivers.

    “Besides, you learn a lot from him,” Kongpob says.

    “True,”

    Every once in a while Mr. Suthiluck would invite Arthit over the weekends to shadow him. Kongpob’s father is organized and intelligent – no wonder Kongpob was the same, when it comes to leading a business. Arthit has learned a lot from the previous days he’s being shadowed by Mr. Suthiluck from making marketing plans, to handling clients, and more. He couldn’t be more thankful that he’s getting this kind of opportunity from a president of a company.
