After parting ways with Singto in front of the Lumpini gate, I called Nammon and my best friend finally picked me up there. I was very relieved to see his black Fortuner pulled over in front of the bench where I had been sitting waiting.

I'm grateful to have him when he got out of the car with a worried face.

"Kit ... Are you all right? You sound weird on the phone..." he immediately approached me and asked in a rushed tone,

"I'm fine... I just don't want to be alone..." I said, looking up at him who was still standing towering before me.

Nammon took a place next to me on that park bench and sighed for a moment. Before then start talking.

The lights in the park had been lit and the darkness had been replaced, but my heart still cooled after being warmed by the sun and the smile of Singto all day.

"Aw... I'm surprised you asked me to pick you up. I thought you had a date all day today with P’Sing..." he said,

"It should be, but he must go to see his father..."

"You guys go on a date, at least he has to take you home first. Instead of leaving you in front of the park gate like this!" Nammon looked annoyed,

"It's not his fault... I told him to leave immediately..."

"Alright... Alright... Now where are you going?"

"Do you have plans to go out tonight?"

"Actually, I'm going to meet P’Tay and P’New tonight at the club... But if you want me to accompany you, we can just go to your house and play video games..." he offered,

"I don't want to go home..." I replied softly.

Nammon looked at me probing, aware of the strangeness that was happening. But he tried to ignore it this time. Instead he stood up and pulled my hand to stand with him.

"Alright... Come on in!! It's getting cold here!"

Finally, Nammon and I drove to one of the night clubs in Bangkok that were often visited by some of our friends. A little too early considering we arrived at the place before 8 pm.

Nammon immediately led me to the table he and our friends used to sit.

Due to the early time there was an opening band that sang the latest western and Thai songs. The DJ who will play tonight looks engrossed in chatting with the bartender and some of the club's permanent employees.

Nammon touched my shoulder slowly and then asked, "Do you want to eat something?"

"I'm not in the mood to eat!"

"If you plan on drinking, you better eat something... I don't want to handle a drunkard tonight!"

Nammon called one of the servants and ordered several food menus for himself and me. He also ordered warm peppermint tea for both of us.

"How stingy are you, Ai'Nammon..." I replied referring to his statement that he would not take care of me if I was drunk,

"It's useless to take care of someone lover who is drunk. If you are my boyfriend, it's a different story ... "

Krist was immediately stunned to hear Nammon's words, while the person who spoke it didn't even feel strange at all. He instead looked at him with a questionable expression seeing Krist who suddenly fell silent.

"Krist... is there something wrong with my words?" He asked confused,

"Nothing wrong…"

"But…"

"I just thought it would be nice if I fell in love with you... Not P'Sing..."

I saw Nammon's face change, the frown on his forehead deepened, showing his confusion with my attitude tonight.

"Kit..."

"Forget it!" I said quickly while looking away, refusing to look at him.

The state of Nammon family which has a high tolerance of gender equality and sexual orientation is one of the reasons why I think like that. I know from Nammon himself about his eldest sister who is a lesbian and has even announced it to the world with great pride. Their parents were the first to support her choice at the time.

Nammon considers his parents as a romantic type to the bone.

Even when they learned that their oldest child was traumatized by a man, they lightly said, "If you can't love a man, does the world will collapse?? There are still many women who will gladly loved by you. Regardless of whether you love a man or woman, we are grateful that you can even love after what you experienced..."

"Are you saying this because of today's incident with Singto?" he asked as he forced me to face him,

"I just feel scared, Nam... What if our parents do not approve of this relationship?" I asked, still staring at the cutlery on the table that suddenly looked very attractive,

"Krist..." he called,

"What if…"

"Ai'Kit!!" said Nammon, shaking my shoulder.

I looked at him with a blurry eye from my unshed tears. I couldn't even feel my tears melt down my cheeks and dripped on the back of my hand.

"I'm really scared Nam..."

Nammon put on my baseball hat and then pulled me in his arms. He patted my back gently while saying soothing words.

He is really good at this. Having 3 sisters makes him an expert in handling people who cry.

"Listen to me, na! I really don't know what will happen in the future, but you don't know either... Singto doesn't either. But as far as I know, Singto truly loves you, more than anything. I'm not blind Kit! I know how he looks at you and treats you. When we gather together, in Singto's world only you are colored..."

"That's what I'm afraid of Nam... What if his love for me will make him lose the only person who loves himself besides me. What if his love for me forced him to choose between me and his father. That will destroy him, Nam... "

"Kit ... Nobody knows about that. There's no point in worrying about that unless you're thinking of telling Singto's dad that you're in a relationship. Which I don't think is necessary yet." Nammon looked at me with serious eyes,

"Now you need time to recognize your own love. Are your feelings just going to be temporary or are you going to go through this until the end... Before you and Singto confirm this, don't need to worry about others!"

I paused to hear Nammon's explanation, tears that had come down like water coming out of a leaky tap suddenly clogged and dried. Am I thinking too much? Am I too worried?

"Your relationship is still very new... Enjoy your time together... If you want to worry... worry with him! Don't worry by yourself!"

Shortly thereafter, the food he ordered came out. I can only stare at the food in front of me while stunned.

"Eat... After this I will take you home! I guess you're not in the mood to party tonight... ”

I was prepared to protest when Nammon added "If you are determined to stay, I must tell Singto to pick you up! You don't want to ruin the reunion of Father and Son do you?"

"You're really cruel, you know?!"

"Yes, yes ... I'm cruel, but you love me the most, your cruel best friend, right?"
