P'Arthit asked me to come to his place before we take a taxi to the restaurant for our Co-Code line dinner. He seems to be very nervous about going. I think he is just overthinking that everyone will pester him about getting into a relationship, so as the ever supportive boyfriend, I will be his strength if he needs it. I would be lying if I didn't look forward to seeing their reactions to us showing up together.

When I arrived at P'Arthit's dorm I could hear rustling around just after I knocked on the door. A bewildered Phi was staring back at me. He looked like he just ran those 54 laps again.

"P'Arthit? What's wrong?" "I can't think of what to wear, plus it's like our debut with the group." "Phi!" "You always look...perfect! "P'Arthit.." "Ugh! I have nothing that would suit..standing beside... you" "P'Arthit!!" I shouted to get his attention. I stopped him from looking at his closet and drawers and put my hands on his shoulders. "Look at me" he avoids my eyes, "phi!" "What!" "Just be yourself! I don't care what you wear. As for me, I like you" I point at his heart "clothes don't matter... what does is your the heart." His head lowers and he leans it on my chest. "Kong.." "yes?" "Thank you, for being you.."

He moves his head again to look at me. His eyes are shining more than ever and grabs my head to pull me into a kiss. It was short and quick, but it was enough to express his emotions. I smile at him as he pulls away from me while he hides his blushing face. He picks out his favourite shirt and jeans. I couldn't stop smiling about how adorable this man truly is and how lucky I am to call him my boyfriend.

The taxi ride was quicker than we thought it would be. there was barely any traffic, so we had time to kill before our allotted dinner time. We noticed that there was small shop near by. We made our way over to check it out. There was many items, old to new, big and small, clothes to knickknacks. I saw P'Arthit eyeing a set of nice cuff links, they were beautifully crafted and they had little suns adorning them. They were perfect for him. "Why don't you buy it?" "Oh no! I don't dress up often, plus I don't have the extra money to buy this... they are way too expensive for university student." He glanced at them once again and heads out of the shop. I knew what I had to do.

We arrived at the same time as P'Plen and my years 0206. They great us with a welcoming embrace. "You guys look good! It's nice seeing you out together." "Thanks, P'Plen." P'Arthit awkwardly smiled at the compliment. "Have you been here long?" "We got here pretty early the traffic was unexpectedly light. We have been browsing the shop across the street." I smiled at them. I glanced over at P'Arthit and he looked pretty uncomfortable. "Why don't we go in! P'Tum said he made reservations." Everyone agreed. I looked over at P'Arthit as he is still standing unmoving.

"Uh..Kongpob?" He quickly turned around to look at me. "Are you okay, Phi?" "Uh..err..Kongpob...sorry." "For what?" "Not knowing how to react to them.." He gave me a reassuring smile, "P'Arthit, we all have strengths and weaknesses. You know, I am good with social settings. If you ever feel uncomfortable with anything, just let me know. Like what you are doing, Okay?" "How can you be so mature?" His laugh vibrates in my head and echos in my heart. "Phi! You're way more mature than me in a lot of other ways. I just have been living around adults more than people my age." "Yes, you did mention that before. Thanks Kong. Should we go take our seat?" "Khrap!"

"Ai'Oon!!!" My face fell...P'Tum has arrived. "Well isn't this nice! The co-code line officially has another couple!" "P'Tum, do you have to shout that?" He puts his hands on his hips, "Of course! This is great! Plus look at your boyfriend! He's the university moon!" My face is staring to heat up because I know first hand that a lot of people had eyes on him.
