Adorably Silly (ENDED)

The virus

Tin POV

Today will be a good day, I do not know why, but today I slept the recommended 8 hours. I have been suffering from insomnia for months. In fact, I looked in the mirror and had more color on my face.

Since it's going to be a good day, today I'll see if I can get Pete to change his mind. Pete must choose me: I'm his best option.

I went to class. He came in and hesitated a bit to sit ... Again that damn doubt, as if deep down, he wanted to get away from me.

— Good morning, Tin. —I did not say anything, I looked at him but he did not speak either.

— I still need an answer. –I said.

— What are you talking about?

I remained silent observing him. He shifted uncomfortably before answering:

— I thought you were kidding. —He excused himself.

— I'm not joking. I'll ask you again: What does that guy from the Thai Program have? —His expression was strange but he did not answer me—. You know that our families are rich and powerful, he just goes after your money. —I looked at him. If you want to go out with a boy: you should date me.

— I don't understand why you treat Ae like that, he is not like that. —He paused a moment—. He doesn't want my money. He gives me his help in exchange for nothing. He really wants to help me. –Pete assures me— I have to thank Ae for being like that and for having known him.

I sighed, it was a lot of inchoerence together.

— You may think that you are the best option for me, Tin, people should think so too ... but for me, my best option is Ae.

On one hand, I was tired of hearing so much stupidity together, but on the other ... He looked sure and it was as if I wanted to believe his words. How am I supposed to believe in the words that a poor person is not interested in money? That kind of person does not exist! I never met someone who did not care about money. Sure, Thai Program will do something to him.

— Did they brainwash you? —I asked.

— No. — He answered me seriously and it seems that he was bothered by my question—. Besides, you never looked at me like Ae does; Tin, you don't like me.

— I like you because we are good for each other.

— I don't know what you want to convince me about or you want to convince yourself. But I will not change my mind: I won't leave Ae, neither for you, nor for anyone.

— You are incurable...

— Tin!

Pete stared at me. I do not understand how it is possible. But I realized that Pete will not leave Ae and if I press him more, I will lose my only friend. It hurts me to know that he will be with Thai Program ... but it does not seem like I can help it ... Is that really love? Does one become so stupid that he cannot see reality or think about the consequences? Is there something so strong that make you lose all logic? It seems like a virus that atrophies your brain.

Can POV

I can't stop thinking about the kiss, or Tin, or his aroma, or his breathing ... Ah Ai Tin! I want to forget all that, but I cannot wash it off!

I was on the court with Good and all I did was repeat the kissing scene again and again. Every once in a while, I still bring my fingers to my lips, it's as if I could really feel Tin even if he is not present.

— Ahh, Good! I don't know what to do! I can't stop thinking about that!

— You'll... overcome it.
