I Belong to You Everyday

Author's Note: This is the song that I featured in this chapter. I wrote an English version of this song months ago for my first BL novel and yeah, I decided to use it here because this chapter is special.

CHAPTER 10

17 YEARS AGO

"New, why are you sitting there alone darling?" My grandmother asked me. It's my birthday party but I don't like the idea of them inviting other people without my approval.

Whose birthday are we even celebrating? Mine or theirs?

I can only recognize handful of people and they are my uncles and aunties.

Their kids? I don't know them.

I can't fully enjoy the moment because my friends from school cannot attend the birthday party due to the number of guests allowed in this venue. They turned my supposed party into a investment or charity event whatsoever to gain some new investors.

New Thitipoom's birthday party x Charity Event.

"Newwiee, why don't you hang out with your friends?" My grandmother asked. My parents? They are there talking to the investors while ignoring their own child here sitting alone.

"Grandma, I don't know anyone here aside from my aunts and uncles. I didn't even know that I have cousins until now. This was supposed to be my birthday party, not theirs." Talking about my parents.

"New, your parents will visit school on Monday, right? They will bring food for you and your classmates and teacher. You can celebrate and play with them as well," grandpa explained to me.

"I know that. But today's my birthday and not on Monday. I want to share this moment with you guys," I gave a glare on some of the guests who's pretending like they are noble even though they are really sneaky when it comes to buying shares or something. "Not with these monkeys."

My family dealt with backstabbing incident before. Some of my Dad's share literally almost got stolen because he trusted the wrong persons. Thankfully, our family lawyer is the best.

"Hey Newwiee, don't say that. I know you are mad but please, keep your manners okay? That's bad." My grandma told me.

I gave her my puppy eyes. I went overboard on that part. "I'm sorry."

"Hin, don't isolate yourself there. Go somewhere or eat food," my grandpa instructed me.

"Hin? Stone? Really, grandpa?"

He chuckled. "I've been observing you for quite some time now and you look like a stone there. Not moving a bit. You're just side eyeing and giving everyone a fierce look."
