I am him ✔

Chapter 30- Fan Filter

"Nah, here's your phone." M took Kongpob's phone out of the bedroom, mulling it over for a moment before saying, "We're going to class together tomorrow anyway, so you can just stay the night at my place."　　

They had just been working on their homework for tomorrow's class at Oak's place, and Kongpob realized that M hadn't returned his phone after using it this morning.

So after finishing his homework, he deliberately followed M back.

Nowadays, if people leave their mobile phones, they will always feel at a loss.

When he heard M's words, Kongpob was stunned, gripped the phone tightly and subconsciously refused: "It's okay, I'm not too far away from home.　　

M opened his mouth, as if he still wanted to stay, but the words paused on the edge of his mouth, and when he spoke again, he had changed his meaning: "Okay, then you go back and be careful."

Kongpob smiled then and nodded at M, "Okay, I know, you go in and get some rest."　　

M bit his lower lip and closed the door with his back hand, "Come on, I'll walk you down and watch you go."

Kongpob couldn't help but lose a bit of a smile, "No, two grown men, what's there to see you off, it's not like we're boyfriend and girlfriend..."
His voice stopped abruptly as M's face changed abruptly.　　

Kongpob gulped and awkwardly remedied the situation, "I mean, I'm a grown man, you don't have to send it."

\M's ugly face, however, had taken it away and smiled up at him, "I'm the one who wanted to spend more time with you, let's go."

His smile undoubtedly gave the embarrassed Kongpob a good step, but even if Kongpob descended the steps graciously, the atmosphere between them was still inevitably cold.

In fact, both of them understood that the reason Kongpob would say such things without paying attention was precisely because deep down, he still only thought of M as a buddy.

For things that are not in your heart, even if you hypnotize yourself every day, there will always be omissions.

M's place was on the third floor, and perhaps to spend a little more time with Kongpob, instead of taking the elevator, he turned into the safety stairs at the end of the hallway.

The stairs were less frequented, so the silence between the two men made the silent night seem even quieter, even as their breathing could be heard.　　

Kongpob's hand unconsciously grabbed the strap of his backpack on his shoulder and fiddled back and forth.

M saw him move, and his heart sank.

Kongpob probably didn't even know it himself, but whenever he had trouble getting words out, he couldn't help but grab his hand and fiddle with the small things he had been doing since he was a child.

No one knew better than he did.　　

The height of three floors really didn't take much time, and in a short while, the two of them had reached the bottom of the stairs.

Unlike the difficult separation shown just now, M barely stopped before he spoke, "It's getting late, you should go back quickly, I'll go up first."　　

Seeing him turn to leave, Kongpob suddenly and urgently called out, "M."

M stopped in his tracks.
