The neighborhood was very peaceful and quiet in contrast to the busy streets that they had passed by after getting off the bus. The roads and the side pavements were not in the best condition. There were cracks and potholes here and there, but the streets were very clean. From a distance, a colorful sign 'Pakkred Babies' Home' could be seen at the end of the street.

Arthit looked around as they approached the yellow building. He wouldn't be able to tell you how he got there if asked him. Arthit was too focused on other things the whole way there. Like the racing of his heart over a simple brush of their hands. The way their knees touched during the whole bus ride. The sound of Kongpob humming to his favorite tunes while sharing one pair of earbuds with him. The scent of Kongpob's body wash that wafted through the air every time there was a breeze. The flashes of Kongpob's lips on his own. The butterflies that were tumbling in his stomach the whole time. So, Arthit was very much preoccupied.

The yellow build was quite big, and there were a few smaller ones behind it

The yellow build was quite big, and there were a few smaller ones behind it. To the side was a fenced in playground. The place looked very well kept and organized. This is Arthit's first time visiting an orphanage, and for some reason, this was not what he was expecting.

As they reached the front of the orphanage building, Kongpob turned around making sure Arthit was okay. He was pretty quiet during the whole trip here. Was it something he said? When he agreed to be boyfriends, he meant it even though he doesn't know what boyfriends are supposed to do. Hopefully, Arthit won't be too disappointed to spend his day at the orphanage with him.

Over lunch earlier, they agreed to keep their new found relationship a secret. They decided it would be easier this way, and no one would question them. In front of everyone, they would just be good friends. Friends that had sleepovers. Arthit had already decided that he would sleepover at Kongpob's house as much as possible. Especially after finding out that Aim slept over quite often. No wonder Kongpob said his parents wouldn't mind. With Kongpob being the only child, his parents loved it when he had company over.

"Hey, we're here. Are you okay? You look kind of flushed?" Kongpob raised his palm to touch Arthit's forehead. He was afraid that Arthit might have caught something from last night's rain.
