There are three things I fear the most in my life. First is the centipede. Everybody in my class knows that Tine, the chic chic guy is scared of it. From it's posture, to its number of feet, to its color, it is really damn scary. They knew that when I saw one, I would cross all the borders of Thailand and run as fast as the missiles launched from Russia.

Second is height. I am extremely scared of heights. People say that the higher the place is, the colder. Therefore, I have to endure the heat below because my heart can't stand elevations. I felt dizzy just by looking at it. One time during the ninth grade, we were forced to jump on a tower for a camp trip. Guess what? I peed in my pants. Imagine... a ninth grader. You can obviously imagine how embarrassing that is.

Third is my brother , P'Type. He had been visible ever since I was born. He is a perfectionist and will notice everything in the world. Back in elementary, I did not even bother to touch his eraser because he'll know if it has been used or not. In other words, the most influential person for me is not my parents, but my brother. People always made a comparison between us ever since. Tine, the playful and cheerful type, and Type, the serious and ghost-like type.

I am only afraid of these three. These three things, yet I am scared this much. And now, I think the fourth thing appeared amid the chaos of the war of words. It is called...

Man.

Damn! I fear Man more than anything else in this life. He didn't come to play because this asshole told me that he will flirt with my brother. It is visible from the words he used on Instagram. He really scared me so I had to turn to look at Sarawat like I was asking something.

"What makes you worry?" Sarawat is smart. He understood my eyes right away. Or maybe, he already knew me so well.

Asking me whether it is romantic? No. Because my leg is ready to kick your bastard friend. I hate the post!

"Man said he will flirt with my brother."

"So what?"

"You guys can hit on anyone but you can't touch P'Type."

"I don't know anything. Man decided it himself."

"Go tell your friend to stop what he's planning. My brother is not a gentle person like you think."

"I know."

"..." The atmosphere of death entered. I turned around to sit and look at him. No matter how much I fear my brother, I don't want someone to speak badly about him.

"Okay. Let us settle this." Seeing me making a slightly worried expression, Sarawat immediately picked up the phone. This time, he did not call anyone but focused on typing a comment. He is making sure that he will type all the words correctly.

In less than five minutes, another comment popped-up below the picture of Man grinning...

Sarawatlism Good. Tine said that he supports you.

What the hell?

"Why is your reply like that?" I scolded him loudly but Sarawat just shrugged his shoulder and let out a devious smirk.

"Your brother touched what's mine first."

"What? Are you serious? This is totally a different thing! Why are you helping Man?"

"Well, he said that he likes your brother so I have to support him. Besides, he helped me to be in a relationship with you."

"..." I was speechless for a long time. The only thought that came to my mind was...

My brother must not be tainted by Man.

"Hey, relax. We just gave Man the green light and that doesn't mean that your brother will fall into him. Let them handle that themselves." His thick hands patted my shoulders before pressing my face closer. "Wh... what are you doing?"
