"Shut your mouth! You want to be good, right?"
"Hey! Cool your heart. Talk to him slowly."
"But he is saying that in front of the people!"
"Okay. Please give them space. Move back, people!"
What I felt was that my surroundings were so chaotic which made me dizzy. The
sound surrounding me rumbled in my ears. The silence covers everything when
someone clears the situation. Although the voice is inaudible, I can guess that it was
Sarawat who is speaking with some seniors.
The coolness from the white towel spread across both of my cheeks. I felt I was in
a daze. My eyelids that are ready to close slowly are forced to stare at the person in
front of me without blinking uncontrollably.
The feeling I have is like being born for the first time but I suddenly lost
consciousness and fell asleep.
"Uhh..." I gently moaned when Sarawat gently touched my face.
"Tine... Are you okay?"
I would like to say that I am not okay but my strength to utter the sound is not lost

"..." Sarawat did not answer. He just kept on asking me the same question again and
again.
"Are you okay?"
"Erm."
"If you are not okay, don't force it." His thick hands reached my hands while
releasing a compressive force to relieve anxiety. But I did not pay attention because
I am only interested in the words of that senior who is chasing him to sanitize his
wound.
Therefore, instead of looking at his sharp face, I scanned the whole body of this tall
man. The veins on his face were leaking and because that person was sitting on the
same bed as me, I noticed that his knees were full of blood. It is also swelling and is
full of bruises.
I held his football shirt so hard. My heart twitched until I felt pain in my chest but I
