THE STORYBOOK

H3: PART 6 END (ENGLISH)

- "I'm sorry ... but I cannot be your boyfriend"

Krist opened his eyes because of the surprise but, as before, nobody noticed that the young man had woken up.

"No ... it can not be ...", he though as he turned his face slightly to observe them, "I must have heard wrong ...".

It's that or ... he was dreaming ...

Because who could believe that Singto had said those words?

Krist certainly not.

After all, for several months, he had only seen Singto going from one place to another with that girl. Even in those acts to which he did not have to go with his co-star, Singto had gone with Pim.

And the young man had always shown a smile and a happy expression while accompanying her.

To the point that, all over the country, people thought they were more than friends and co-workers.

And now Singto is rejecting her?

Was it that he had woken up in another dimension or what?!

- "Sing ..." - the young girl whispered as she approached and tried to embrace the boy who, however, took a couple of steps back, putting even more distance between them.

- "I thought I had spoken clearly to you when we saw each other for that commercial ... I told you that you shouldn't expect more from me than friendship. I thought you understood it".

Pin nodded sadly.

- "But we would make such a good couple. They all say it!" - exclaimed the girl - "and you do not have anyone else ...".

Singto smiled ironically.

- "Of course I have someone ... only that  the person in question still does not know he is already mine" - replied the young man while sitting back in his chair - "but he will know ... very soon".

Pin shook her head as she approached Singto and placed a hand on his arm.

- "Sing ... you know he's never going to accept you. He's not interested in men ..."

- "I will not know until I try" - the young man replied as he turned to Pin - "as for you, I think it is for the best that you look for someone else ... I will not be able to continue being your companion "

Pin sighed and, withdrawing her hand from the young man, turned and headed for the door.

- "If you change your mind ... when Krist rejects you ... you know where I am" - she told him as she opened the door - "I'll be waiting for you".

After which she left, leaving the room again engulfed in gloom.

Singto sighed and, after running his hand through his hair, turned towards Krist.

- "Pim's a good girl, really... but she's not used to being rejected. You know, sometimes she reminds me of you ..." - said the young man while addressing the boy lying on the bed - " she will be waiting, she says ... "

Singto smiled as he shook his head.

- "Well, she can wait forever ... because I'm not going to let you leave me.

Singto looked up at Krist's face who, surprisingly, looked back at him with a faint smile on his lips and cheeks completely flushed.

- "If I am yours, as of today you belong to me, Singto, and I won't let you leave me" - Krist said in a thin voice - "never again".

Singto got up and turned on the lights, after which he turned to Krist with his heart hammering in his chest and tears sliding down his cheeks.

- "Krist ..."

The young man smiled broadly as he lifted one arm from the bed. A few seconds later Singto had taken his hand in his.

- "P'Sing ... I'm serious, I'm not going to let you leave me ... I love you too much for that" - the young man muttered as he looked down at the sheets.

Singto smiled and, without letting go of his hand, approached him and made the young man look at him face to face.

- "I will never get away from you ... I love you, Krist" - said Singto to immediately lean over and kiss the boy's pink lips.

- "Then I guess we have to start thinking about the engagement party ..." - said a voice from the door of the room.

Krist's parents had just arrived and, with a smile, greeted the boys who, completely red, only managed to nod shyly.

- "I already asked the president to give us two months of vacation after the summer" - Singto muttered as he looked down at the ground - "I was going to use that time to, if Krist accepted me, officially introduce myself to his family."

Krist's parents started laughing while the young man, who had been trying to sit up, fell on the soft mattress while trying to understand what he was hearing now.

"Pre ... Presenting himself officially?"

To his family?!

- "I..."

- "Well ... after what we have heard, I do not think Krist will reject you" - said Mrs. Sangpotirat while winking at them.

- "Mom!" - exclaimed Krist, completely red, from the bed.

- "Don't ...!" - cut him, however, his mother as he turned to Singto - "And tell me ... When will we be able to see your father?"

Singto smiled.

- "As soon as we return to the city I will arrange a meeting".

Krist's father nodded approvingly.

Krist, by then, had already hidden his face under the sheets.

"No way ... I am not going to leave this place... forever!"

Singto, smiling, approached him and sitting on the edge of the bed, bowed slightly.

- "If you do not want to ... I can still accept Pim's offer"

As soon as he finished talking, Krist, coming out from under the covers, grabbed Singto by the neck while pulling him towards his face to pose a loud kiss on his lips.

- "Do not even think about it!" - he finally snapped after slightly separating himself from the young man's face - "I already told you that I'm not going to let you go ... ever!"

Singto laughed, enjoying the young man's possessive expression as his parents, after silently communicating with their eyes, turned around and left the room leaving them alone.
