xxv. Day 27

"Any question?" Faye's loud voice resonates in the peaceful surrounding, Arthit visibly cringes and steps away from her.

Though they're in the middle of the resort, aside from Faye's technical support and the handful of curious people stopping for a few seconds to look at them, the people around are mostly couples who are minding their own businesses enjoying the breeze from the ocean and the comfort of the night to which Arthit is thankful for because he's so embarrassed having to dance with a lot of people watching them, it's bad enough that his partner is Sed.

Faye has a megaphone in her hand contrasting her elegant-looking red dress hugging her body in all the right places.

Sed slowly raises his hand, "Is it necessary to wear a tux? Shouldn't we wear more comfortable clothes since we're advertising a resort?"

Sed chuckles. "People don't come here wearing these clothes you know 'cause that's weird."

Everyone agrees with Sed, even Irish herself looks grumpier having to wear a tight dress, it's odd why they had to wear tuxes and gowns like they're about to go to prom. Arthit understands Faye's purpose, she wants the video to look elegant, to look more formal but the elite look is stretching it too far. And Arthit worries tourists might see the resort as haughty, if they look more natural and comfortable, the resort would be more inviting.

Plus, the tux is itchy. Arthit spent almost a minute in his room scratching himself.

Faye raises her perfectly-shaped eyebrow. "Are you questioning me?"

"You asked us if we have any questions, right?" Faye frowns and leans in to swat Sed but the latter is able to run and hides behind Kongpob. "I was merely suggesting."

Faye rolls her eyes. "Well then I don't welcome suggestions especially useless ones."

Arthit sighs. Faye's coolness and eccentricity are gone whenever it concerns her work but no one dares to speak up again, Faye looks like a dominatrix ready to whip anyone who questions her again.

"Okay, go back to your partners. I've already oriented you your positions so don't be dumb or else," Faye has a manic smile. She's worse than Irish.

Sed goes back in front of Arthit leaving Samorn and Kongpob who quickly assume their positions not wanting to anger Faye. Arthit wraps his hands around Sed's hips, grumpily pulling the taller closer but leaves a good distance between them. Sed, on the other hand, playfully giggles and coils his hands around Arthit's nape.

Arthit rolls his eyes. "The hell is wrong with you?"

"This is the closest we've been. I'm happy."

"I do hope this is the closest, I don't want anything closer than this."

Sed, instead of being offended after being mocked, only chuckles sweetly, "For someone who considers me as an older brother, you sure are rude to me. What if that's all an act?" Sed slightly bends to lean his temple on Arthit's shoulder and mischievously blinks his eyes like a high school girl at her senior crush. "What if you really like me?"

Arthit snorts and pushes Sed's head away not because he hears the loud growl coming from Kongpob who frustratingly is across them but because Sed makes Arthit uncomfortable with his flirting. "Yeah, I like you how I like my parents."

"But they say the more you hate, the more you love."

"Sorry to burst your bubble Sed but I don't hate you. I love you, like an older brother."

Sed huffs. "Great."

Arthit looks back at Faye, she just finishes nagging the people at the back to recreate the perfect alignment. She puts the megaphone down and assumes her position in front of her girlfriend. "I want everything perfectly done like how I taught it. Muy perfecto."
