I've fallen for You

Chapter 12 : Blooming

Gulf POV

"Kla, do you wanna grab breakfast with us?" Khun Mew invited as we walked out from his car.

"It's alright, Khun. I think the others are waiting for me," I reject him politely.

These few days, I no longer commute with Boat's car as Khun Mew said it's more convenient for us to travel together. But he refused the gas money I offered.

If I join them for breakfast, Khun Mew will surely pay for my food! AGAIN!

Plus...

I don't think my heart can handle it GOD DAMN IT!

I then walked to the Rooftop Cafe for my morning coffee.

"Klawut," a familiar voice called.

"Oh, Kaownah?"

"Can we talk for a bit?" he asked as his eye roamed around the cafe.

"Well, sure," Not thinking much, I agree.

"So, what do you want to talk about?" I asked as both of us settled down at one of the tables.

"Can we...practice together?" he mumbled.

"W...what? Are you sure? I mean..."

"I know. We are not in good terms. But...no...first of all, I have to say...Khorthot Na...for what I've done. And, Kob Khun Na...for not exposing that I'm the one who takes the picture and spread it," he played around with his hand and cup.

"Okay. I didn't plan to take it further anyway. But, can I know why you did it?" I asked calmly.

"It's stupid. But, I'm jealous," he mumbled.

"Aw, for what? You are the best student in our major," I state the fact.

"But, people acknowledge you," he left out a heavy sigh.

"Kaow, let's face the fact. My skill is not as good as yours. I think even Prof. Thorn knows that," I threw another fact.

"Yeah. But, he also said that I spend too much time practicing like a madman that I've lost the feeling and joy of playing piano. So, I want to find it back. Can you, help me?" finally he raised his head and looked straight at me.

Well...

It's just practice, right?

And I can brush up my skills too...

"Okay then. But one thing," I paused.

"Don't belittle others anymore, Na? It might be a bit hard at first. But I got your back. And I think, my friends too will be thrilled when they know," I set my condition.

"Sure!" at last, he smiled wide.

"Let's go to class. I don't want to be locked out by Khun Tum,"

A few days later...

"And that's all for today. Don't forget, there would be a meeting for those who passed the audition at 2 PM, Na?" he reminded before he walked out from our class.

Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck

It's his class after this!

"Kla, let's go!" Kaownah voice stoped my panicking mind. 

Well, for a few seconds.

But yeah, I get my bag and walked out with them. 

The closer we get to our next class, my heartbeat goes faster.
