LOVE SICK : The Chaotic Lives of Blue Shorts Guys

CHAPTER 36.1 // CHAPTER 36.2

CHAPTER 36.1: SUCH A COWARD, I AM

I become aware of the inescapable fate once I get back to my house after I saw around ten pairs of leather shoes right outside. There’s only one reason a Shoes Fair is happening here and that is…

“Bastards, weren’t you going to at least let the owner of the house know beforehand?” I shout at the people inside while I take off my shoes and add them to the pile. I can hear those jerks laughing loudly after a long silence since they meant to surprise me.

Keng smacks Palm in the head. “I told you to bring those shoes inside, didn’t I? Noh would’ve realized what was going on when he saw them!” The guy who was hit made a stink face.

“Asshole, don’t even try with me! I was the one who told you to do that and you didn’t do it!” Keng then gets hit by Palm twice so now they’re even. This is just great. My house will be destroyed once again.

I shake my head and chuckle at them. I estimate that there are more than ten guys here. Some are sitting around the sukiyaki hot pot, which are Keng, Palm, Khom, Phong and Em. Then there are some playing the video game and sitting in front of the TV, which are Om, Per and Knott. I can hear Dong, Rodkeng and Ken all the way from the kitchen, they’re saying something about preparing a spicy noodle salad. So now that I get a chance to count…there are 11 of them here. It’s not a record-breaker though. (The most people I’ve had over was 17 during New Years. The house nearly exploded.)

“So who told you guys that my pa and ma aren’t home today?” I know for a fact that they didn’t find out about this on their own. Although, I only asked to be polite since I already know the answer.

“My beloved P’Immmmmmm~” I knew it. -_-” P’Im adores Om a whole lot. I don’t know if it’s destiny or if it’s a sin that they’ve committed together in their previous lives so they’re paying them now or what. Whenever p’Im’s nong Om drops by for a visit, we seem to have a ton of food in the house just sitting there waiting. (I mean, if it weren’t for Om, I don’t even know if I’ll ever get to eat those stuff.) And whenever Pa and Ma are not home (sometimes they go out of town to check on the factory so they need to stay over there for several nights), then it would be p’Im who calls and lets Om know about it. She would suggest bringing everyone over and destroy the house to him.

I’ll never forget this, p’Immmmmmmmmmm!

I shake my head and throw my school bag down to the floor (since the sofa is currently occupied). I notice that some jerk had brought my PS3 downstairs from my room. Meanwhile, another jerk had brought the hot pot from the kitchen to out here, filling the house with delicious aroma.

Well, great! Even though I already ate, I’m getting hungry again now that I smell all these things. I kick off my socks and join the circle around the hot pot right next to Phong.

“Can we eat this shit yet? I’m hungry.”

“Chill, man! The pork isn’t cooked yet. Om told me you went out on a date so I thought you wouldn’t get home until late.” Phong tells me as me plays with the lid by lifting it slightly, letting the steam escapes. At the same time, Palm turns to grab a bowl and a pair of chopsticks for me. I notice that they added instant noodles in there too. Way to go all out, guys.

“It wasn’t a freaking date. I only went with Yuri to keep her company.”

“Yes, that is what people call a date. And you’re back pretty early, she couldn’t get you into the mood or something?” I kick Em with a full force. He deserves it for spouting shit. I point at him with my chopsticks as a warning for him to stop talking, then I lift the lid to check the sukiyaki even though I know that it isn’t ready yet.
