Since Always

Phana's POV

A junior said she wanted to have a talk, so I followed her to the back of the main building. When I looked at her, she was quite cute and she had got small figure.

Just like Ming's type. I felt my heart clenched. The thought made me sad. What if I were a girl? Would Ming be attracted? Why am I not cute and small like Wayo? Or Kit?

My thoughts were running wild endlessly, I didn't even heard what she said until she tapped my arm.

She was looking at me with her big brown eyes. She seemed hopeful. I didn't know what she said so I only replied with a yes.

Then she kissed me out of the blue. I was shocked the bone. Then it hit me. She was asking if it was okay to kiss. And I fucking said yes. What a genius!

Tap tap tap.
I pulled myself from her, slightly pushed her too when I heard steps not too far from us.

I turned my head and I was welcomed by Ming's back. I knew it's him. Because I always unconciously looked his way.

Then he disappeared from my sight when he turned on the corner.

Shit! Did he see what happened?

I didn't want Ming to see me as a guy who would kiss anyone. But what would I tell him? Was I in a place to tell him things? He wouldn't care, right? We were barely friends. Yeah, we were nothing.

Again, my thought was occupied with Ming. And this monologue in my head somehow hurt.

"P' Pha.. I'm so sorry.." then I heard the girl apologized.

"I'm sorry too, I pushed you too hard, and didn't pay attention to what you were saying," I the ever so gentleman, said sorry to the girl who kissed me by force. Yeah, sue me!

"I really like you, P' Pha," she confessed.

And like always, I declined the confession.

After that, I went to the canteen amd sat on pur usual table. Beam was there already. Eating his tom yum.

"Did you meet Ming? He was asking for you," Beam spoke with his full mouth.

"N-no.. did he need something?" I tried to be as calm as I could. But I could feel I choked on my pent-up tears.

Beam shrugged, "I don't know. Probably about the Moon thing?"

"Yeah, I guess," I replied.

The next morning, Ming was absent from the Moon and Star gathering. I asked May if he reported his absence to her, but she had not get any news from him either.

When I supervised Wayo, I asked him too. He said he didn't know too, "Maybe he is busy with SOTUS?" That was what Yo said.

Maprang said the same thing like May. She got no news from Ming.

My mind wandered like crazy. Is he sick? Is he okay? No, relax, Phana. Maybe like Yo said, he  is busy with SOTUS.

I kept thinking about where could Ming go all day when suddenly I got a call from Forth in the evening.

I frowned. Why Forth called me?

"Forth?" I answered the call.

"Pha, how are you?" Engineering student still got manner, huh?

"Good. What's up?" I never like beating around the bush.

"Ming didn't show up at Moon and Star gathering?" He asked.

I could hear my heart exploded when he brought Ming in our conversation. "No, why?" I tried to keep my cool.

"Well, he didn't come to SOTUS gathering too, so I wondered if he was busy with Moon thing. But Maprang said he didn't show up at the campus hall. I called you to confirm it," Forth told me.

"W-where did he go? He got troubles?" I tried to calm myself down, since I was in the verge of breaking down. I was worried sick of Ming's being. Is he alright? It's fucking 11PM for fuck's sake!

"I will certainly kick some sense to his head if I see him tomorrow. He is dead!" Forth was on rage. Before I could reply, I heard knocks on my door.

"Forth, I gotta go. And don't be harsh to him, okay?" I cut the call without waiting his response.

I opened the door only to be welcomed by Ming.
