Queer 'n Teen: A Quarantine Love Story

My Turn

"So when are you planning to leave?"

P'Saifah was examining my face across the table for how long I don't know. If what happened earlier was just a dream, I'm going to kill him for waking me up.

"He was here right?" I pinched my cheeks to make sure it was real.

My brother looked at me as if I just came straight from my mother's womb. "What do you mean?"

I rolled my eye and stood up. "P'Dew".

"P'Dew huh?", he answered mockingly. "What a sweet way to call your teacher."

Not for long.

I'm still unsure if I would tell P'Sai about us, with that kind of attitude. He'll just nag me all day and I'll feel like a suspect being watched. Maybe I'd tell P'Champ but I don't think he can keep a secret from my brother either.

P'Dew sent you a message.

"Don't forget to eat your lunch my sweet little chocolate chip cookie."

I guess I can't keep a secret either.

I was smiling too much that I haven't noticed P'Sai was already behind me, reading the text message.

"Sweet little chocolate chip cookie, huh? I never knew Khun Dew was cheesy like that." I can't stand the way he was laughing at me. "Oop- you look like a baby with that rosy cheeks of yours Nong Blue. Cute cute cute." He pinched my cheek real hard.

It was at this moment when P'Champ walked in carrying a pack of grocery items. "Hey, what happened? If I do not know you're brothers, I'd definitely ship you two."

"Ai Champ! Don't you dare ship me to anyone else besides Zon."

P'Champ sat on the chair beside me asking me what happened? I don't even need to show him P'Dew's message because my "coolest and ever-supportive" brother keeps on repeating it. I finally told them P'Dew wanted to resign as a teacher so he can finally be with me without issues and all.

"Miracles do happen." P'Sai was on it again. "Love always wins."

"Can you stop being annoying just for a second?"

P'Dew sent you a message.

Before I open the message, I stood up and locked myself on my room. I feel so excited but embarrassed at the same time. Where does "sweet little chocolate chip cookie" came from anyway? I wouldn't say I don't like it, but now those two have something to use against me again, make me do the house chores and whatnot.

P'Dew is calling.

"Hey.. Why aren't you responding to my "text messages?"

"P'Dew, I'm sorry I -I.. haven't read them yet."

I can hear him sigh from the other line. "I miss you already."

That's probably the only thing I hate about him. He always say these things as if it's normal when all I wanna do is scream and roll on my bed and totally forget how to respond.

"Nong Blue.. do you hear me?"

"Ah yeah, yes ofcourse. I do."

"You mean you hear me?"

"No. I do.. miss you too."

"Awww.. my sweet little chocolate chip cookie."

Ugh, it sounds cringey but I'm falling for it anyway.

"P'Dew.. I have something to tell you."

"Me too, actually.. but it can wait. Babies first."

"What?"
