Time Can Mess Things Up

XLIV

It's wasn't more than half an hour but the tension around the gang was so thick that it could be cut with the help of a knife.

Ryu was telling Toota about what he did today and how he irritated his homeroom teacher which made Toota laugh while Prem and Bright were still glaring him.

May was trying to have a conversation with Em but Awan would interfere each time and take Em's attention back to himself.

Maprang was busy complimenting Kong much to Arthit's annoyance but he didn't know what to do.

Rome and Wad were busy glaring their respective partner and Rome even pinched Bright couple of time to get his attention.

"Um....I will go and order some snacks" Oak spoke and tries to get away from the table.

"I will join you," Prae said as she noticed that it's better to go hangout with other people rather than being in the middle of love war.

"So! Kong how does it feels after winning the competition?" Maprang pretends to take Kongpop's interview.

"Um... I feel happy" Kong replied with a smile.

"What was your inspiration for performing so well?"

"My Sun was my inspiration" Kong looks towards Arthit and winks, Arthit's eyes widen and he looks around to see if anyone noticed.

"Sun??" Maprang asked in wonder

"Yep, Sun.."

"I'm getting bored!  Let's dance Kong!"  Maprang suggested excitedly.

"Should I Arthit?" Kong asked Arthit while smiling.

"Do whatever you want.. It's not like I care" Arthit said and took the sip of his drink. Kong gave him a disappointed look and went to join Maprang.

May saw Maprang and Kongpop going to dance floor and decided to try get own luck.

"Em... Shall we..." May spoke but was stopped by Awan.

"No! He won't" Awan heads Em's hand tightly which made Em smile.

"But P'Awan I was asking Em.."

"Doesn't matter... No means  No"

"You heard him.. Sorry I can't," Em told May with a smile.

"Phee! Pay Attention to me!" Rome whines pulling Bright's shirt's sleeve.

"Phee'Stupid!" Rome hit Bright's shoulder in anger when Bright was still not looking at him.

"Ahh! Sorry Rome" Bright apologises.

"I'm bored! Rome complains.

" So what do you suggest we should do? " Bright whispers and moves his face closer to Rome's.

Rome uses his hand and stops Bright from getting any closer. Rome pulls his hands away when felt something wet touching it.

" Phe! Are you drunk?  Rome asked.

"I was trying to be romantic" Bright said while rubbing the hair at the back of his head.

"That looked more slutty then romantic!" Rome commented.

"Alright, I shall go and bring something for you to drink na? Wait for me" Bright kisses Rome's cheek and went to get some more drink.

With Prem and Wad

"It's boring here" Wad whispers while playing with Prem's finger.

"I got photography assignment wanna help?" Prem asked.

"Hm. What do I get from this?" Wad asked with teasing smile.

"Well, your boyfriend will pass the exam and won't have to worry for extra credit"

"Not convincing enough"

"How about a date and movie night in my place?"

"This looks promising, let's go"

Wad and Prem looked around but found all their friends missing so they decided to leave after messaging Arthit.

"Are we going to sit here all night here?" Em asked while playing with empty glass. Others have already left to enjoy among themselves which left them both alone on the booth.

Awan was leaning on Em and Em had his arm wrapped around him.

"My brother might be joining us anytime," Awan said in a bored tone.

"What!" Em shouted and looks around in fear.

"Oh.. So now you're scared of him?" Awan asked while smirking.

"I'm not afraid, I just don't want your brother to have the first impression about me as an alcoholic guy" Em replied.

"Like he would able to stop me from seeing you" Awan mutters while hiding his face in the crook of Em's neck. Em simply smiles and cares Awan's hair.

"Phee! I think we should go back now its 11 pm" Ryu suggested when he noticed Toota drunk.

"B. But we are here for a PARTY!" Toota shouted.

"Yes, Phee how about your party at my place?" Ryu said in coaxing voice.

"Noooo" Toota tries to get another bottle of beer but Ryu stops him.

"Nope, we are going back now," Ryu said in stern voice, he took out his phone and calls his older brother.

"P'Tee can please come to the club and pick me and P'Toota?..... We will be waiting near the entrance... Ok! Thank you khrap!"

"Come Phee! We are going home now"

"Sorry, Maprang I need to go back" Kong apologises.

"Ao, but we just started dancing?" Maprang complains

"Still, I don't feel like dancing... Sorry khrap" Kong starts looking for Arthit but found him nowhere.

He calls Arthit but he was not picking up the call. Kongpop started feeling worried now. Finally, after the third try, Arthit picks up the call.

"What?" Arthit asked in an annoyed voice.

"Where are you?"

"None of your business...... Go dance with that girl"

"Arthit. Are you jealous?" Kong asked while smiling.

"I'm near the Rama bridge" Arthit whispered. Kongpop's eyes widen.

"I.. Wait for me. I'm coming"

"Hm...."

20 minutes later, Kongpop reached the Rama brigde. Kongpop slowly walks to the middle of Rama Bridge where he can see the Arthit standing and looking at the river.

The past flashed in front of his eyes. He can still clearly remember how Arthit purposed him under the bridge and smiled bitterly.

"I wonder if things will be different this time" Kongpop whispers as he went closer to Arthit.
