pining and jealousy and so much pettiness.

Apart from beers, the usual chitchats and having a good rest away from a stressful environment of adulthood, what the gang™ really looks forward to whenever they have a mini-reunion, is the drama. The drama revolving around Arthit and Kongpob.

It's like watching a local drama but better– Two fools who are obviously in love with each other to everyone around them, except them.

Cliché. Yes.

But what got the gang™ hooked up on the drama is how the fools execute it. With Arthit bringing different dates to make out with and Kongpob dying inside from the distance, it's surely a sight to see, pitiable but very entertaining.

It's their favorite drama. They just love it when their friends are so extra.

So, on the night of yet again another get together at Bright's bar, everyone holds their breath when they see Arthit steps inside, his hand intertwines with a beautiful girl's hand.

Fortunately, Arthit goes back to using girls. Last time, when Arthit brought a guy, Arthit hasn't touched the guy's lips yet but the poor guy finds himself thrown outside with a bruised lip and an aching jaw, with a shouting Kongpob ready to behead him, "Don't ever touch P'Arthit again. Leave!"

And no matter how many, "Kong, stop it!" Arthit had said, Kongpob doesn't stop until he saw the guy running away.

If not for Prem, Bright, Knot, and Tutah's combined large built, they might as well recreate that movie I Know What You Did Last Summer because Kongpob looks murderous that night. The night ends with an angry Kongpob leaving the bar and a slightly satisfied Arthit.

Going back to the current situation, the gang tries to be subtle how excited they are to see another drama, but their obvious pause and the burning stares on Kongpob tell otherwise. Prem and Oak have even moved from their positions to take a better look at the drama that's about to commence.

Arthit greets everyone except Kongpob. This time, something's wrong with the younger, he's awfully in a good mood, though Arthit knows he already sees Arthit with his date because the older felt the younger's eyes at him from earlier. Usually, though, Kongpob would be gripping his jaw tight and clenching his hands, so, something is really wrong.

Arthit squints his eyes. He makes sure to pull his date on the spot parallel to Kongpob. 

But after a few minutes of faux lovey-dovey from Arthit and his date without any reaction from the younger, Arthit nibbles on his lower lip, worry finally settling in his stomach.

Is Kongpob not jealous anymore? Does Kongpob not care anymore?

What does that mean?

Arthit pulls his date closer, stare burning at Kongpob, challenging him to do something, but the younger doesn't even spare a glance towards him, he's busy happily talking with his friends. Beside him, Prem and Oak, now joined with Bright are taking the drama with amusement.

This is a new scene and it leaves a clenching weird feeling in Arthit.

It can't be happening. Kongpob can't ignore him.

His date continues to talk and it starts to annoy Arthit. Before Arthit could leave her, Arthit pulls his date towards Kongpob.

"Hey, guys! Hey Kong!" Arthit tries to be nonchalant greeting Kongpob and hopes that Kongpob won't notice that he's seeking his attention. Arthit wraps his arm tight around his date's waist.
