Fateful Encounter (Completed)

Chapter 31

A/N - I know there's hype about a lot of BL OTPs, but for me my forever on the top is KRIST-SING. ♥👨‍❤️‍👨♥

Two weeks after the debut solo concert, all local promotional activities were wrapped up in a final fan sign event and radio interview on a Sunday. Around 11 pm, Jane dropped off an exhausted Arthit at his apartment, where Prem and Knot would have prepared a light midnight celebratory snack for their hard working, rent paying friend. 

It's already been a week since university started, which Arthit had missed, and the two friends have been advised by all three sets of parents to take care of Arthit since his own parents had had to return home. Not that there were much for them to do since Arthit's company took care of everything. What the two friends did have to do is answer all the questions the parents had about Arthit. 

One would understand why Arthit's parents would call Prem and Knot regarding Arthit. But why Prem and Knot's mothers would do the same had a rather simple reason. Well the two ladies were very much social butterflies and liked to brag about their son's best friend who is an "international celebrity". Whenever Prem was to complain about his mother's interest in his best friend (Knot never complained because he's too cool for that), he'd be cut down to size by the fan girl self of his own mother. 

When Arthit walked into the apartment he was surprised to find Forth and Beam in the living room with his two friends. As he greeted the four people he noticed a bottle of champagne on ice, a nicely arranged fruit basket and a beautiful bouquet of orchids on the coffee table.

'Let me guess, champagne and fruits from P'Beam and the bouquet is from P'Kong.' Arthit said picking up the bouquet of orchids and giving it a sniff.

'Oy! What makes you think that these are not from me?' Forth asked, indignant. Beam, Knot and Prem turned to Forth with identical looks that spelled 'Seriously?'.

'P', I've known you for 18 years. You don't like fruits and the only reason you'd touch fruits is because P'Beam would scare you with serious medical facts. You don't care about flowers unless you have to appease P'Beam. As for champagne...' Arthit looked him up and down.

'You don't have that much class.' Arthit finished with a dismissive shake of his hand. 

Beam stood up and started slow clapping while Prem started laughing like a hyena and Forth got up to put Arthit on a choke hold. As the only sane person among the five, Knot gently broke off the two cousins.

'P'Forth, Arthit must be tired. Let him take a shower and freshen up first.' He said.

Quarter an hour later found a freshly showered Arthit and the four others sitting on the living room couch eating from a artfully arranged fruit platter.  Courtesy of Beam, of course. 

'I'm curious though. How did you know that the flowers were from P'Kongpob?' Beam asked while feeding a piece of apple to a very reluctant Forth.

'The flowers? Well... they are from P'Kong's garden. I know since I've seen them there.' Arthit said. Beam nodded in understanding while Forth looked shoked.

'Are you telling me that The Kongpob Suthilak actually picked flowers from his garden to give to you? But.... but why?' Of course he got a smack in the head from his boyfriend. Arthit rolled his eyes.

'First of all P', I'm his boyfriend. Second of all P', I'm his boyfriend. Plus he didn't do it himself.' Arthit said.

'Huh! How did you know that?' Prem asked while everybody looked towards him in surprise.

'Well if P'Kong had the time to pick flowers and make it into a bouquet, do you honestly think that he wouldn't be waiting for me at the parking lot?  Had he been anywhere near the building, he'd be waiting right here for me. So in conclusion he isn't home yet.' Arthit said with apparent arrogance. Forth was itching to teach this conceited cousin of his a lesson when Prem beat him to it by smacking Arthit on the head.
