Kit's POV. I feel so sleepy walking into the cla.s.sroom this morning. I spotted Beam taking a nap on his chair at the back so I joined and sat next to him. I don't see Ai'Pha anywhere yet but I hope he'll be here soon. It's the typical way of him entering the room at the exact time the cla.s.s starts. If it begins at 8:30AM, he will get in at exactly 8:30AM getting the attention from all of our cla.s.smates. He's probably doing it again today. "d.a.m.n! I don't feel like getting up from bed this morning." I greeted at Beam, slapping his head to get his attention. "Me neither... I didn't get any sleep last night." He sounded like he's sleep talking. "What happened?" "Nong'Dream stayed at my place. We were up all night." Hah! I almost forgot this friend of mine is such a chick hunter. I shook my head seeing him like that but I'm kind'a used to it too. It's just normal for Beam to have a lot of girls for this kind of one night stand relationship. Like him, our friend Ai'Pha has so many girls approaching him as well but he never showed his interest to anyone. He never has his eyes to anyone except for Nong'Wayo. That's why Beam and I thinks that Ai'Pha is a monogamous type of a guy. Introducing him to any girl is useless and will only cause us a waste of time. Most especially right now... Nong'Yo is there... Right next to him. n.o.body will ever have his heart except for that adorable little guy. "Shia! I forgot that this is Dr. Auntie's cla.s.s." Beam exclaimed.

Dr. Auntie is one of the famous professor from Med School. She's a good teacher but she also has a very mean mouth. I'm starting to worry that Ai'Pha won't make it on time because it's only about two minutes before the cla.s.s starts. He's dead!!! "Everyone here? Let's begin."

Pring runs into the cla.s.s right before she started with her lecture. She takes her breath deeply due to relief that she's not late and sits in front of us. "Pring. Have you seen Ai'Pha's car when you left the apartment?" She knows our friend drives the Audi. "Pha gave me a ride this morning, but I don't think he's coming up." Pring said. "What?! Why is that?" "I don't know." I threw a worried look at Beam. It's 8:30AM now so anyone who comes in will be punished for sure. I held out a sigh loosing the hope to see Pha coming in on time, however I still keep my eyes on the cla.s.sroom door. He's not an irresponsible guy and if he's in trouble, he will let us know right away. He's never been like this. What's wrong with him? Finally, Pha showed up into the cla.s.s around 9AM with a very exhausted and confused face. I've never seen him do exercise in the morning before but now, he's all sweaty.

And he's looking nervous standing in front waiting for Dr. Auntie to scold him. "The state of having difficulty in breathing or Dysphanea... That Med Student Phana is having right now may have been due to running exhaustively into the cla.s.sroom." She said to the cla.s.s but her fiery eyes were glaring at Ai'Pha. I was right. He's dead. Let's see if his handsomeness will save him this time. "I'm very sorry, khrub." Pha waii at her respectfully. Dr. Auntie clears her throat. Maybe his charm did work at her this time. "What if there's an emergency case waiting for you and you're late. No matter how late you are - one minute, two minutes or three minutes. Do you think he or she will survive waiting for you?" We we're all sitting quietly. What she says is true and we all don't want it to hear or see happen of course. "I really am sorry, Dr. Aun... Professor."

"Fine." She sighed out loud. "You're always been a good student. Since this is your first time, I will forgive you. Go to your seat." Dr. Auntie continued the lecture. Pha took the seat next to me. He look exhausted. It doesn't matter how good the air conditions are, he's still feeling insanely hot and sweaty. "Wanna talk about it?" I asked because he's definitely not ready to listen to the lecture. I know this lecture is nothing to him because he's still getting an A anyway. "I broke my word with Nong'Yo." He said. There... "I told him I'll give him a ride this morning... But Pring came to see me and asked for help. I didn't know what to do and Yo came in after that." He look very guilty. "I'm so happy because finally I can look after him... This is the first time I gave him my word but also the first time I couldn't keep it." "So you drove back to pick him up and came in this late?" Beam asks. Pha nods. "Uhm. But Nong'Yo has gone. I don't know if he's still mad at me." "Well, if he doesn't have feelings for you, he won't be mad at you." I told him. "But if he does, then he will surely be mad and hurt at the same time that you pick Pring over him." "I... I don't know." He covers his head with those two big hands of his looking very upset. I tried to comfort him. "It's okay... Just go apologize." He took a deep breath and heaved a very long sigh. "I'll do that for sure." I turn to look at Beam and we both smile. We always see girls running after him but now, he's running after a handsome young boy. This could be fun to watch. *******
At The Med School Cafeteria...

His LV Bag is on the bench but he's nowhere to be found. That love idiot has been down for the whole morning and he acts like he wants to die. "Our Ai'Pha? Hmm... Must be at the Moon and Star Studio looking for Nong'Yo, I guess." "What? Why would he go there? It's too far from here. Doesn't he even want to take his lunch at least?" Beam shrugged. "I dunno. He bought a cup of Pink Milk and left. Running like a maniac." "Hahaha! I think we'll be seeing a lot of this later." We didn't notice Pring joining our lunch table.

"Beam, Kit... Are you busy?" She asked. "I have something to talk to both of you." "What's up?" Normally she comes with tons of sheets but today, she didn't bring any. "It's about Pha. He seems to hang out with that kid a lot lately, the Moon from the Faculty of Science." Beam and I nearly choked on the iced tea we were drinking. I really don't want to answer any question about this matter so I looked at Beam for help. He has that same expression in his face too. "Err... He was our junior from High School. So yeah, they are pretty close." "I see." Pring still has that curious face while sipping on her drink. "Pha was very quiet this morning. He couldn't keep his eyes off that kid when we left the apartment. It seems he really cares about him." "That's probably not it." I put in. Looks like I really have to say something. "They have been quite apart for some time until only recently." "Is there something going on between them?" Beam and I froze. How am I going to answer that question? At this point Beam grabs his sheets and pretends reading them, but are you supposed to read it upside down? "Well, I guess you better ask Pha yourself." I settled for a safer response. "We have no idea." I rather let that love idiot decide the answer for himself. "Okay."

Ai'Pha was gone for the whole lunch break and only came back to the cla.s.s a couple of minutes before it starts. He looks so depressed sipping the Pink Milk he bought quietly. "What happened?" I'm getting worried again. "Nong'Yo had lunch with Ai'Forth." "There... That's what I told you. Nong'Yo is a hot fresh meat. Ai'Forth is one of those guys having his eyes on him." He sighs deeply. Now he looks 10% more down than earlier. Thanks to you, Ai'Beam. ? "Come on, Pha. You need to speak it out. If you don't do anything and if he has feelings for you too and he might think you don't have the same feelings for him, what do you think he's going to do?" "Forth is now doing everything he can to impress Nong'Yo. Why don't you do the same?" "I'm... Trying." "I don't think you're trying hard enough." Beam adds. "Try to think about what you did this morning. How did you feel when you saw Nong'Yo going out with that Soph.o.m.ore Moon from Engineering instead of going with you? I bet He also has the same feeling when he saw you leaving with Pring awhile ago."
Pha shakes his head. "Truth is... I don't know either if he still has the same feelings for me." I know that doubt came from the deepest part of his heart. "That's a question you need to find some proof yourself, Ai'Pha." "What the f.u.c.k! A good looking genius guy getting a grade F when it comes to love. I can't believe this. I have enough of this." Beam said and turns his attention to the lecture this time.

I didn't know who it is until I heard their conversation. "Dad, can you please help me book a room for piano practicing lesson?" ********
At 4:00PM

Of course, Ai'Pha forces us to go along with him to see the kids dancing again in the studio. We've been here a lot lately for the past few weeks. Well, I'm kind'a happy to come, though. There are so many cute girls around in their natural beauty without makeup. But hey, we're here to support our friend not spend time looking at those beautiful stars. "Hey, Ai'Pha." Forth greeted us the moment we arrive. He's not only the Engineering Moon but also the first runner up next to Ai'Pha. Beam and I were kind'a worried that they might start hitting each other's faces but we're wrong. They act pretty cool. Having a crush on the same guy doesn't mean they have to hate each other, do they? "How long have you been here?" He wounds his arm around our friend's shoulder.

"We just arrived. What's up?" "We're going to shoot some clips at some places outside the campus tomorrow afternoon. Wanna come?" "Yeah, sure. Good thing our tomorrow's cla.s.ses were cancelled. But don't they have to practice for their talent shows too?" Yeah. Someone out there has already booked a piano room for two weeks! ? "They will be given enough time for that after we get back." Forth explains. "They will be working on some promotion clips only since the compet.i.tion will be held next week." "Where are we going?" "Some beach perhaps." "Are we gonna stay for the night?" "Yeah, just one night." "Alright, count me in." You b.a.s.t.a.r.d! That's so fast and so not normal of you. You hate skipping cla.s.ses! "I'll go drive there myself with Beam and Kit. Don't worry about us." There you go with your 'Us' again. Can't you try saying without the word 'us'? You freaking dear pal. Are you going to let us use your wife in the future too? Smack! Ai'Pha hits my head loudly. Can he read my mind? "Agree?" "Hey! Take it easy, tiger." Beam interrupts. "How about our exam for the new block in a couple of days?" "That's not a problem. We can just take our sheets to study at the beach." Like seriously? He's insane! This is Boss Phana we're arguing with. We won't win against him. ? "Alright, Forth. That's the plan." The other Moons from the previous year arrive and join our group. "Is that true? You're going to the beach?" One of them asked. "Uhm". "We're not going." They chorused. "We get it, you're not going." Beam said, tapping me with his meaningful look. "But we're going, right Ai'Kitty?"
Oops! This image does not follow our content guidelines. To continue publishing, please remove it or upload a different image. "The beach, the ladies, the bikinis, Ai'Kitty will never allow to miss those things." I smacked him on the head. "Why did you just call me Ai'Kitty, eh?" I hate that nickname. ? "Great! Sounds like a good plan." Forth smiles. He's kind'a handsome too. No wonder he's my best friend's greatest enemy. He's the second most handsome guy in the Campus next to Pha after all.
The moment Forth left us to check on the kids, Beam points to one of them with much excitement.

Beam's giggles made me confused. "Count him in but this time, I'm talking about that Nong." He points directly at Nong'Yo dancing happily with his partner.

He earned a smack in the head from Ai'Pha who couldn't take his eyes from the cute little guy as well. "f.u.c.k off." "Why? Only one more compet.i.tor won't hurt." "Look at him." Pha points at Nong'Yo. "Look at his charming face and there..." He points to another guy this time, the taller one. He's the boy's close friend. "That guy is also handsome but I have no idea what he thinks about him. He's always around Nong'Yo like a shadow." "He may be just a friend." I suggest. "I can't be so sure about that. Nong'Yo is too cute to resist." It's funny to see him being in love. Though he becomes such a pain in the a.s.s most of the time, I like him this way too. We didn't see it coming when Nong'Yo heads his way towards us. Pha almost jumped from his seat seeing him this close. Seems like he wants to get some drink from the water jar next to us. He looks very thirsty.

"Hey, Nong. How's the practice going?" I start the conversation. "Quite tired, khrub P' but I'm good. I can handle this." Yeah, funny guy. "Going to the beach tomorrow, right? You got lots of work." "Something like that. By the way, are you joining us then?" He glances at Ai'Pha who's gaze is pinned at him. Who are you asking, is it me or my feiend here? ? "We can't go." I lied. "We'll probably look for some online jobs and work part time." "Ooh, that's too bad." He said in a kind'a disappointed voice. I felt Beam's hand landed on my head. "Stop teasing him, Ai'Kit." "I'm messing with you, Nong." I chuckled. "We're going with you lot. Ai'Pha will drive us there." "Really?" There goes his sweet smile and those sparkling eyes of his. So adorable.
Oops! This image does not follow our content guidelines. To continue publishing, please remove it or upload a different image. I totally get Pha now. This boy has this sort of charm in him that I couldn't explain. This unintentional power to make people fall in love with him easily. Every time he shows his sad face make people want to do anything on their power to cheer him up just to see him smiling again. Some kind of a strange charm Nong'Yo has indeed. "Yeah, we will see you there khrub." Smack! It's Ai'Pha again. "Too much talking." He whispers then turned to the little guy. "What time will you finish today?" Nong'Yo looks at his big group of friends. "No idea." "Uhm. I'll wait here." "Why? Giving me a ride back home again?" Beam and I couldn't help smiling seeing them flirting to each other. "Take me out to eat too." "What?" "I only had a cup of Pink Milk today and I'm very hungry." "What? Are you crazy? Why don't you get something to eat?" Nong seems unhappy. I can see it but I'm not sure if Pha sees it too. "You wait here." He said, heading inside the studio and took something from his bag. One thing I am certain though. This handsome kid absolutely has ultimate power over our friend. "Here, take this." Nong'Yo handed him a pack of banana cake. This is the first time we notice how Ai'Pha looks a lot bigger than this kid. His hand could cover his entire head. "You're a bubble head. Why didn't you buy something to eat?"
Oops! This image does not follow our content guidelines. To continue publishing, please remove it or upload a different image. Hahaha! So good... That's it, Nong'Yo. Keep it coming. We want more. ? "I was busy thinking about someone." Our friend can be super straight like an arrow sometimes. "Who is it?" "Some stupid cat, I guess." "Hey, Ai'Yo!" There he is. This tall friend of his clasping his hands on both Nong'Yo's shoulders. "Can I steal him, please? We're practicing on something new and he hasn't started on that yet."
Oops! This image does not follow our content guidelines. To continue publishing, please remove it or upload a different image. I cat might have stolen Ai'Pha's tongue so I have to say it for him. "Yeah, sure. Go ahead, Nong." "Do you think he has a crush on Nong too?" Beam starts after we see them walk away. Ai'Pha shrugs his shoulders, walks away into one corner and starts eating the banana cake. We were left on the benches discussing about the other guy. "I don't think so." I answer Beam's question. "How can you be so sure about it?" "I don't know... But I'm pretty confident that they're just friends." "Do you have any proof?" "I'll prove it... You can trust Detective Kendaichi with this matter." I said confidently. "I'll prove it before my grandfather's name." At that moment, all I am thinking about is that decision I made will change Ai'Pha's life but It didn't occur to me that it will change my life forever... Instead.
