The Heir to my Heart • Completed

x. the list

Arthit pulls his hoodie even tighter to hide his face one will think there's a walking hoodie already.

He checks his surroundings, from left to right, so far, no familiar face is present so he's able to breathe out a relieved sigh. Arthit should've been fine.

... except there's a lady who's been eyeing him for the last few minutes with an indescribable look in her eyes.

But can you blame her? Arthit, who is wearing a black hoodie, has been in front of the condom stall for 30 minutes. Walking. Staring. Thinking.

Curse Kongpob.

Curse that asshole for putting him in this dilemma.

When he regains the confidence he needs for 12344565.58268 seconds, Arthit heaves a deep sigh. With bated breath, he gets three boxes of condoms and throws them in his cart, keeping them under the other supplies.

Arthit then walks faster away from the shelf and towards the counter.

He thought everything will end from there not until he hears someone...

"Arthit?" Fuc- Fudge.

Someone very familiar. By familiar, it's Bright. A smiling Bright who's with a girl, different from the last time they met.

Arthit pulls his hoodie even more and turns his head away from Bright.

With a gruff voice, he says, "You must be mistaken, I don't know who you're talking about."

Arthit steps forward but is stopped when Bright steps in front of him with a bigger smile on his face and damn, he even shouts, "Arthit!"

The people around them turn their heads in their way making Arthit almost buries himself under the floor.

Arthit smacks Bright. "Damn it Bright. Shut up!"

"Why? Why are you hiding? What's with that look? And why did you deny yourself to your friend, hm?"

"Nothing. Mind your own business."

Arthit grabs his cart again but Bright, being the incessant twat that he is, also grabs the other end stopping Arthit from leaving.

"No greeting to your friend? By the way," Bright pulls the quiet girl who has been observing the exchange with a bright smile. "This is my new girlfriend, Elaine. Elaine, this is Arthit, my friend."

Elaine makes an 'ooh' face. "Wait, isn't he Kongpob's boyfriend?"

What the hell?

He's more than Kongpob's boyfriend. Arthit mentally rolls his eyes. Now he's just someone's boyfriend. Great.

Bright makes an apologetic smile. "He is, but he's also the heir of a wealthy company as well so he's not just Kongpob's boyfriend. He's not just living a very public life like Kongpob," Arthit shoots Bright a grateful look. "Anyway, what are you up to, Arthit?"

Arthit shrugs and not so subtly keeps his hand on the place where the condoms are hidden.

Unbeknownst to Arthit, Bright is very observant. "Just, you know, doing groceries. Nothing, really."

"All of a sudden? I thought you hate doing groceries? Is it because Kongpob asked you to?"

"Wait, they are living together?" Elaine asks.

Arthit rolls his eyes at Elaine. Busybody much?

"Uhm, babe, can you leave us for a while? We're just going to talk about something."
