Yet the man kept his eyes on Arthit and didn't notice Knot's gaze.  

"Gant, long time no see." Arthit's voice broke the awkwardness.

Along with his words, Dan was quick to respond, "I thought you'd vanished from the earth, disappeared more completely than Oon, but today What's the coincidence? Do you have an appointment over here, too?"  

It seems Dan didn't know Gant was going to show up today either.

Gant smiled and looked to Dan, "I heard from Eau that there was a party today and I wanted to meet everyone, so I came over."  

The rest of the episode was nothing more than pleasantries.

Arthit grew up like a star-studded child, but he didn't really make many friends.  

It was said to be a party, but only five or six people were here today, including Gant and Knot.

The others seemed unaware of the awkwardness between Gant and Arthit, and once they arrived, the atmosphere came alive.  

A few people had been friends with Arthit for years, and Eau opened his mouth wide after a few more drinks, "I, I thought Oon liked Emma at that time. It's tight to guard against him, for fear that he will seduce my sister into puppy love."."

Emma blushed and slapped him, "Brother!"  

Arthit just laughed.

Emma is really beautiful now, but when they were in middle school, she was just a little kid who didn't grow up, wearing two ponytails all day long at the school gate and facing her brother to buy her durian ice cream.

Arthit, even as precocious as he was, couldn't have been smitten with such a little kid.

Eau the brother in law, has felt that everyone in the world has plans against his sister since childhood.

And Arthit was the best of them all, so he was the most defensive.

He looks even sadder when Emma takes that shot at him: "I knew it, it would be better to fall in love with Oon... Much better than that kid."

Spouting off about his sister's boyfriend in front of so many people, it's obvious that he's really drunk.  

So Eau was pressed and mocked by everyone again.

The gathering was pretty lively after dinner, and Arthit really didn't have the heart to think about what was going on.  

About to disperse, Eau stumbles off to the bathroom and, unsure of what to do, he follows after him.

Finishing up, Eau looked at him blindly in front of the sink, finally having some seriousness in his expression, "Oon, I'll told Gant about the party, you don't blame me, do you?"

The guy was really playing dumb.  

Arthit sighed.

He was buddies with Eau and Gant since middle school.  

He didn't have many friends back then, so he treasured them extraordinarily.

When Kongpob first showed up, he first didn't want them to know out of pride.  

Later on, when he fell for Kongpob, he was even less sure how to ask.

But Kongpob's high-profile temperament was like camping in front of their school all day long, so how could he hide it?  

Arthit wasn't really one to be afraid of people gossiping, but he was afraid of those words coming out of his friends' mouths.

He knew that neither Gant nor Eau were such people.
