Kongpob - The Sun is Shining on the Moon Pt 1

Seeing P'Arthit tonight was everything I had hoped. He has been pretty aloof lately. He has been treating me exactly like when he was confused about what is going on between us. I don't understand why he doesn't come to me about his questions or fears. I am willing and ready to take them on. We can share the burden.

I have thought about everything thoroughly. I knew since the very beginning that if I acted out on my feelings towards Phi. There will be serious consequences, but I always felt no matter what laid head.. I wanted to try my darnest to achieve well passed anything that is thrown our way.

When he gave me the bracelet. This gave me the sense of security I had never felt with anyone. Knowing our feelings are mutual and him declaring to others his owner ship of me. I wanted nothing more to do the same, so when he hesitated as he displayed another bracelet. I was gone. I couldn't hold anything back. I was staring at him with all the love and soul I had. He changed me.

When he declared to everyone at the party we are dating. By this moment I was completely shocked. I didn't know what to say or do. I just smiled and felt P'Arthit's hand slide along my shoulder blades to wrap his arms around me. This cause another sense of emotions to arise. The sparks of electricity it caused to run down my back mixed with the adrenaline of everyone shouting and hollering at the very public announcement. I am over the moon and colliding with the sun.

When my friends speak to me it became more real. Each one of my friends came up to congratulate me on my relationship. All of them were puzzled by the sudden news. Oak got angry, "How did I not see this? How did we all not see this coming? Aim did you know?" "Uhh.. No. I knew he liked someone. Right Kong?" I was shaken out of my clouded thoughts and back to reality. "Yes. We talked, but you did not say who you liked, so I in kind did the same." "What! That means you would of told me if I shared?" "Yes. If you ask I will give an answer. M you should know me."

Maprang fake cries, "I had no idea that my cute P'Arthit was gay. All my wasted dreams." "Why are putting him into a label. Will you also put a label on me?" "Oh.. ugh... No Kong. I.." "I'm pulling your leg. Plus what kind of dreams are we talking here..." I raised my eyebrow while staring at her. I guess, it was the jealousy running through my veins. I felt a large whack on the back of my head.. Wad.

"Don't scare her. Jealous freak." "Shut up Wad!" "Never!someone has to get you out of your frenzy." M coughs, "I have never seen you like this before, Kong..." "That's what love does to people. It changes them." I smiled widely, "Kong, are you okay? Do you need to see someone for your affliction?" "Ai'Oak, even if there is medicine for it; I wouldn't take it. Why would I throw away my happiness." Everyone in the group are fake barfing and moaning in disgust.

M pulls me away to chat, "Kong, can we go over there?" "Mhm" He takes me away from our friends. "Dude, May is still not over you." "Sorry M. I totally forgot. I wasn't really thinking about that." "I know, Kong.." "Well, tonight has been kind of big thing for me." He looks at me puzzled, "what do you mean?" How do I explain this to someone like M...

"M. We have been seeing each other for a while now. His behaviour changed like in the cafeteria." "Oho... he terrified me that day. Yelling at you for no reason." "He had a reason which I suspect is jealously." "Huh? Of what? Him...Jealous?" "Prae..." "I'm still shocked... to think our head hazer as jealous. Wait...Prae... she.." "He doesn't know that. I never told him." "Oh. You are good at keeping secrets, such a good friend....but you should of probably talked to him about that." "I'm surprised you are not asking more questions" "don't even get me started!" We chuckled.

"Hey Kong... we have known each other for four years. You never told me you liked men." I was waiting for this question and I have been pondering what I could say. I have come to realize that I hated these labels given to people. I would only like to think of it as loving someone for who they are and not their gender identity. "I don't like men... I like P'Arthit."

I can't help the smile forming on my face as I say this publicly after keeping everything so private. I liked this. "What? Isn't that the same?" "It's not the same" "how?" "If he's not P'Arthit, then, I don't like him." I feel M looking at me in wonder. "Stop looking at me like that!" "I can't help it, friend. I still can't get over it. Why him?" "M, I'll tell you truthfully so listen. Remember the day of our interview for getting into the engineering faculty?" "Yes. You seemed pretty down, but came back energized. To the point, you had decided to become an engineer against your own desires."

I have to laugh at all the information he had remembered, "Yes. I met P'Arthit then. He was kind and helped me choose this place and this faculty. When I saw him again on our first day of hazing I was shocked by his drastic change of behaviour, however I never lost hope that this was only a persona." "That means you were not afraid of him because of this chance encounter?" "I'm not saying that. I just knew that the person who was strict and vicious was never who he was as a person. I began trying to get him to slip up and then...." "you didn't notice that this curiosity turned to something else?" "Yup. I really understood at the Freshy Moon and Star Contest." "Dude! That is a long time ago! All this time harboring feelings for that terrifying senior. Are you sadist?" I punched M's arm. "No! Personally, I think his stand off nature is very endearing." "Kong... you have lost it!" "Okay! Maybe. But for the right person it's alright to let go of your defenses and just be who you are. Following your heart."

I heard fake wrenching from M. "Dude! You are completely a lost cause. Where is your man. He needs to collect you. Stop drinking!" "I haven't had a lot to drink!" "Kong! You have a high tolerance, but you hadn't eaten today! It's going straight to your head! Stay there. I'm going to find your... faen." He just left me staying there nursing my drink. I watched him leave and vaguely noticed how everything seemed more beautiful and I find myself looking for him.
