5 CHAPTER 5

3 hours later....

Preed and Earth watched as their friend finally got out of the house followed by the short guy.

To their shock the two males shared a hug before they went separate ways.

"My bet is the coffee came from that guy"

Earth says. Preed nodded agreeing with him.

Once Phichit's car drove off, Preed zoomed towards Paitoon's home.

"Hello" Earth says with a smile.

Paitoon and the two males exchanged a wai.

"Hello, how may I help?" He asks. Earth's smile widened, this person was kind enough to offer help to strangers.

"We're Phichit's friends, he forgot a book at school and we followed him here, we saw him walk inside so we decided to wait until he came back out"

"Oh? Well he just drove off, you can still catch him"

"Nah, he lives too far, can you keep his book for him until he gets it in the morning"

Paitoon nodded and took the commerce text book.

"Thank you naa, see you around"

He watched them zoom off and he sighed looking at the text book.

"Such a big text book, they must be smart"

Phichit arrived home and went straight to his room, after what happened last night he decided to avoid his parents, the house was big enough to do so.

The laptop on his desk beeped as he was receiving an incoming video call. It was Preed and Earth.

"Hey guys"

"Well isn't it lover boy" Earth teased, he was wearing large D&G shades.

"Babe i thought we agreed we wouldn't tease him" Preed scolded.

"Hey, what are you two talking about?" Phichit says in confusion.

"Oh? We saw you going inside that house for three hours, what are you? an animal? The poor boy must be in pain right now" Preed scolded yet his lips were in a playful smile.

He rolled his eyes.

"You guys followed me?"

"You forgot your textbook so be appreciative that we gave it to your boyfriend" Earth says taking off his shades.

Suddenly the door to Phichit's room opened revealing a shocked Sirikit.

"Boyfriend?!"

ೋ❀❀ೋ═══ • ═══ೋ❀❀ೋ

Paitoon was walking out of the shabu restaurant with the food he ordered, a smile was plastered on his face as he recalled what happened earlier on at the house.

Phichit wanted to go after him? Does that mean he likes him? A handsome young man like Phichit wanted him? What did he see in him?

"We meet again"

He looked up and saw the guy from the temple, Gan. He offered a wai.

"Hello"

"Mn, so you like pork?"

"Yeah, makes me fuller"

"I see hehe....by the way. I lied at the temple, my brother isn't dead"

He frowned.

"Why would you lie about such a thing?"

"I honestly don't know, i wanted to have something in common with you"

He scoffed.

"And you chose death? Why couldn't you ask me another question? We could've bonded over something else"

Gan was embarrassed, he does admit that doing things like that made him look like a bad person but he's actually nice.

"I'm sorry okay, i saw a cute guy and i panicked"

"Well then consider this a learning experience"

"Does that mean I'm forgiven?"

"No, unless you buy me candy"

Gan chuckled. This guy was way too cute.

"Okay, I'll buy you candy, wait here"

Phichit shut his laptop off and turned to face his mother. Was she listening to his conversations? He was too stunned to come up with an excuse.

"I.....i...."

"You what? You have a boyfriend now? Is that why you come home late? You prefer bananas over guava?"

"Mum, not now" he says standing up heading to the bed.

"Then when? Were you even going to tell me?"

He frowned, what's her deal anyway.

"Why are you interested? You want to ruin my relationship just like you ruined your marriage?"

Her eyes widened, the nerve of this boy. She raised her hand with an intent to slap him but it was caugh mid air, by Phichit's father.

"Now why are you tryiny to hit my son?"

Phichit smirked, the fight was over, but what happens next made his blood run cold.

"Your son is seeing another man...romantically"

ೋ❀❀ೋ═══ • ═══ೋ❀❀ೋ

Gan and Paitoon walked down the street. He had received two bags of candy from Gan as a token of an apology.

"So you live alone?"

"Mn, I'm still deciding if I should relocate to a smaller apartment"

Gan smiled.

"My father owns an apartment building, i can talk to him to see if he has a small room for cheap rent"

"That will be nice, we can exchange numbers to keep in touch"

Gan smiled and pulled out his phone. Paitoon smiled seeing the wallpaper, it was Gan and his brother.

"Okay done, let me know if something pops up"

"Deal, well I'll see you off here then, take care"

"Bye"

He smiled and walked away, he looked at the new contact he just added, something about Paitoon was different and he hopes he gets the chance to see if the difference is good or bad, if given the chance.

Paitoon unlocked the door with a smile.

"Mum I'm home!"

He froze when it hit him, his mother was not here anymore. He was alone, why did it have to be him?

Tears started to flow down his face, he leaned against the door and dropped to his knees.

"I'm so sorry"

ೋ❀❀ೋ═══ • ═══ೋ❀❀ೋ

"What did you say?" He asked darkly.

Phichit's father, Sirichai was a strict man, he follwed things by the book, if it says add two spoons of sugar he will do that and drink his coffee regardless if it was sweeet or not.

Hearing that his son was involved in a relationship with another man was something he didn't expect. His son and another man, how?

"I said he is in a relationship with a man"

Phichit was shocked that his own mother had thrown him under the bus.

"Get out Sirikit, my son and I need to have a chat....man to man"
