Arthit home::

Arthit walked lazily and opened his door. He welcomed his friends with an  irritation sigh. "What with this sour face?" Knot asked while Bright commented "Are you on drugs?" Prem smacked his head.

"Why are you guys here?" Arthit asked while rubbing his face with his palm. "We are here because you skipped office already for 3 days and we were worried about you!" Prem said while his other friends settled in the living room with drinks and snacks which they bought.

After finishing their work Arthit's friends decided to visit Arthit and cheer him up.  They all clearly know what might be the reason for his disappearance. "Sorry..but I need some time" Arthit said while sipping his drink.

"How much time Arthit? It's already been 3 days since you locked yourself" tootah reminded him in worry. "Did you call kongpop?" Knot asked while Arthit shook his head. "How can I? We had a fight before aparting! I am scared he will not pick up my calls" Arthit siad while gulping his drink in one go.

"Arthit, I heard from Tew that Kong Chang—.." Knot was cut by Arthit who shows his palm towards him. "I don't want to know Knot! Please if I know he is hurting then I will sure do something bad to them, if I know he is happy then I will do something which I will regret forever!" Arthit said and start to drink more.

His friends all sighed while bright asked "what if both is not the case?". Arthit throws a couch pillow on him "just shut your mouth Bright!!" Arthit warned and continued his drinks ignoring his friends protest. He Slept on the couch in the middle of his drinks.

His friends moved him to the bedroom and tucked him in bed. They cleaned the living room and  washed the snacks plate and drinks glass. They went after locking the door.






Next morning::

Once again Arthit got annoyed by his door bell. He groaned and opened his eyes with a heavy headache. His body feels like he got beaten up badly. He walked lazily and opened the door to shout at his friends. "Knot! Don't you have spare ke—-.. kongpop?!!!" Arthit eyes went wide while his headche gone in a blink by the shock.

Kongpop smiled sheepishly to Arthit while fidgeting his fingers. Arthit doesn't know what to do, kong shirt is out of his size "come inside" Arthit said and turned to walk inside but kong grabbed his forearm. He smiled awkwardly before asking "I want a help Phi, will you help me?".

"First let's get inside kongpop" Arthit said while kong shook his head. "I can step inside only after your answer" kong said softly. Arthit got confused but he didn't protest kong, who can win over that puppy eyes. "What you want?" Arthit asked after leaning on the door with crossed arms.

"I need money phi" kong said with a shameful expression. Arthit raised his eyebrows but nodded his head "I will, how much" Arthit asked him. "So much, you see I have to pay to the shareholders for breaking the contract, my in-laws said they are going to sue me which I don't know how much, my dad wants me to pay the money he spend for me until now" kong said without any stutter.

Arthit once again nodded his head after a moment of thought. "My friends are jobless now so i don't want to trouble them, I already paid half of the penalty amount for contract breaking from my savings, my wife... I mean Tia was disown by her parents too so apparently she also doesn't have money. I don't know who to go? Or where to ask?" Kong once again spoked.

"So, you came here to ask for money?" Arthit asked calmly without showing any emotion. Kong shook his head "I need money but I don't want it for free, I don't want to seem week infront of Phi" kong said quickly. "What you have for me then?" Arthit asked with a smirk. "I..can work for Phi" kong said softly.
