87: Reverse Psychology

Kris's POV

"Like I said P' I will follow shortly after na khrab and then I will tell you what I found out," I rolled my eyes hearing P'Hyuk's endless reminders, "I just need to know na khrab if nothing really happens—" "I am working about that na khrab P'—stop being a worrywart already," I like investigating people and playing some sort of mind games with them but P' isn't really helping at all. He is being the older brother again—annoyingly protective older brother, "Okay na khrab—I will trust this one to you Ai'Kris. Ai'Yatch isn't helping at all na khrab with all of his internship," I knew from the start that P's engineering friends will help him, "Khrab P'—let alone P'Yatch na khrab hahahaha—" I can't help it, "Just trust in me this time," I said one last time before hearing P'Donghae's angry shout at the other line and P'Hyuk already ended the call.

I fix my sitting position before putting both of my hands on the table and started tapping my fingers on it, "So—P'—should I ask you again?" his eyes looks so sharp right now, unlike when he is with my P'. "I don't owe you any explanation na khrab—Nong Kris," he spats the words bitterly to me but I know his kind of person, "You just heard my conversation na khrab with P'Hyuk—so—I can ruin your name na khrab to him in one snap—you know—this is very easy for me P'Mark."

I am also astonished when I called him this morning to meet me up at the café near his university by lunch. It's the start of the vacation now and here I am being a good Nong to P'Hyuk and P'Gun. This P'Mark doesn't look threatened at all. He is a very well composed person, "My conscience is clear na khrab so go ahead and tell P'Hyuk," I see—he isn't using any sort of mind games with me right now but instead he is being honest with me using it as his advantage.

"My words versus your words P'—you decided which one P'Hyuk will believe," and here I am laying my terms on P'Mark. I know he will give in soon—I can feel it, "Fine!" see—I am right, "I am telling this to you na khrab not because I did something to Ai'Gun—besides—I would kill myself na khrab if I ever touch him." His way of adoring P'Gun is very admirable. I will give him credits for that area.

I stop tapping my fingers, "The floor is yours, P'," I told him. He took extra deep breath before confessing, "I wasn't really confident na khrab at first because who in his right mind na khrab will not go crazy when the reason of your deepest desire na khrab is just there—sitting—breathing in front of you?" good point but I will not answer him to torture him a bit when he is battling with his inner demon, "I didn't touch him—not even the strand of his hair na khrab. I did my best to prevent things from happening na khrab—especially knowing Ai'Gun...how can I take advantage of him na khrab when he is that innocent? Sure—he did tempt me—many times na khrab that night—unconsciously but honestly—right now—all I want is someone who will pats my back and tell me na khrab that you did well!"

I get it, people didn't believe him when he told them what exactly happened to him and P'Gun and now he is just waiting for someone who will genuinely be happy that he survived the night without doing anything to P'. Fair enough—and actually I am a fair person, "If that's the case P'—then I am glad. You really did your best na khrab," and I mean what I said.

He looks so shocked actually, "Oww~" he said so suddenly before grabbing his latte and drink first, "Listen P'—I hate people na khrab taking advantage of those people that I love the most and you na khrab isn't cut off from the list. As you said, P'Gun is innocent na khrab that is why I want to protect him. Now, I appreciate na khrab that you are being honest to me P'—" "How did you even know that I am not lying na khrab? That I am being honest?" good question, "I study human behavior na khrab P'Mark and I can read your body language na khrab. You might be uncomfortable sitting opposite to me right now but I like that you change for P'Gun na khrab meaning you really treat him differently," I explained more and I know he is smart enough to understand me.
