Altered: Win and Team by cLaRaya0

"I wanted to remind him of the night we cleared things out. He has all the right to fear especially that we're deviating from the norm. But what is really considered normal? Men before us were in this kind of relationship already. The Romans knew about it. What changed that made our situation different from before? Society has a way of being funny. Evolution has a play in this part. Homosapiens eliminated their previous counterparts in fear of extinction. Not knowing that they were the product of the latter. I wondered who spread this way of thinking about same sex relationships. I'm not quiet sure it was religion. Could it be the opposite sex? In fear that reproduction can be halted? Or could it be a propaganda by a corporation who feared that there would be fewer consumers of their product due to our preferences. We can only wonder." -Phawin We know Dean and Pharm had made a promise to live together after both graduates and get married in New York. We know Del and Alex, as well as, Manaow and Pruk got together. But how about Win and Team? What will become of them after? What's their plan? What does the future have in store?

Where you able? If you don't want to get hurt, If you don't want to ruin yourself, Even a little further.. Please move on. But if you dare and wanted to know, Then continue.
