LOVELY WRITER 4

 CHAPTER 4

When I wake up, I grab the phone and pick it up to check the time.
… It’s nine o’clock?
I remember that when I slept while the sun was still visible, I could see that the sky had turned bright again. I didn’t realize that I slept too long.
After several hours of cold, and a stiff back from having to sit in front of the laptop, made me need enough rest.
I plan to eat and turn on the television and watch funny programs, then when I’m done eating, I go back to work. I have to print out the original scene that I left behind before taking a break. I relax my body a little. Besides sleeping for five hours, I think it’s enough, I can sleep again tomorrow afternoon. It’s going to rain now, so I can’t sleep anymore, so I get up and wash my face, and take my glasses.
But only when I opened the door, I was startled and almost screamed.
“What … that …”
I swallowed the shock in my chest. When I saw a tall figure walking in the room to the kitchen.
“Khun Gene?” The person walking stopped for a moment, before speaking. “Already up? I thought you would wake up in the afternoon. I took a drink.” He smiled.
Oh, I forgot that I let Nubsib stay here for a month. “Uh, I don’t seem to get used to this …”
I swept my gaze up and down, exploring Nubsib today, wearing college clothes. Black trousers with white shirt folded down to the elbows. Even though I’m a little busy, this is a natural habit.
“Are you going to university?”
“Ya, just wait a moment. Earlier I bought breakfast for Khun Gene. If you want to eat, I’ll warm it for you.”
“Breakfast?”
“Yes, fried eggs and ham.”
“Oh!”
When I nodded, my head was dizzy. I couldn’t wait for Nubsib to come back, so I walked after the man to the kitchen, saw him putting two plates on the table, and opening three small covered plates.
Nubsib opened it and took it to the microwave. I followed his every move calmly and tried not to disturb him. I think Nubsib is very good at doing this job, he seems like he wants to repay a favor by doing this.
“Ehh …”
While secretly looking at Nubsib’s wide back, that person turned around and took the glass filled with fresh white milk placed in front of me. The sudden movement made me barely look away. “I saw it in the fridge, so I think Khun Gene drank it a lot.”
“Oh! I bought it because it helps me sleep, thank you.”
“There’s dessert too.”
“Okay, I want strawberry jam, make a lot of it and turn it into a mountain,” I replied.
I answered without thinking and drank the fresh milk that was given to me. then I paused for a moment, turned to look at the other person after I realized that I had spoken wrong, I accidentally answered something like a child. Nubsib, who was standing across the table, saw and looked at me with a bright gaze.
It was embarrassing, but what was even more painful was losing face to someone younger than me. So if Nubsib wasn’t an actor for my novel, I would consider him just an ordinary acquaintance, I didn’t want to look very serious, but because it was related to work too, so I just showed my serious side.
“Okay, just mountains.”
“…”
Damn!
A minute later, the person in front of me put down the breakfast plate and prepared a spoon and fork, while eating I quietly looked at him from behind my glasses. Nubsib took out the dessert from the machine, he then sat across from me, I could see the strawberry jam was red and fragrant.
“Hmm … How do you go to campus? Did someone come to pick you up?” My hand took the dessert from the plate. Since the food was up, by then, we decided to talk so as not to make the atmosphere more comfortable.
“I’ll go alone, maybe take a taxi or a bus.”
“What!?” I repeated the high voice in surprise, “Are you sure? Will you have no trouble? If you meet one of your fans, it will be very chaotic. “
“It’s okay, I’m wearing a mask.”
“Are you sure?”
When I said that to Nubsib, he showed a frustrated expression, “Actually not.”
“You look handsome and extraordinary like this, it’s useless wearing a mask.”
“…”
“Why are you laughing?”
Because the other person suddenly fell silent, when I looked up and saw Nubsib smiled a little and looked at me, that … uh, it felt weird. “No, I just admire Khun Gene.”
“Oh …”
This time, this kid embarrassed me. The answer made my heart flutter, “What I know all this time, it often happens. This isn’t the first time I’ve seen someone who has a handsome face and makes other people scream. “
“If it’s someone else, I don’t care, but I like it when Khun Gene sees me more.”
“…”
Me?
I quietly rolled my eyes and chose not to answer anything and ate the dessert in my hand. Even if I lose the sweetness of the jam from this food, my brain is still quite clear. I drank my glass of milk and then looked down, stealing glances at Nubsib who was sitting comfortably across from me with a small smile the whole time, from the time I ate until we were done.
Makes my stomach warm and my mood is very good. “How long will it take to get to campus?”
“Hmm … maybe ten or fifteen minutes.”
I picked up the phone to check the time. “In a moment, I’ll come down.”
“Yes?” The man was shocked, “Khun Gene, will you take me?”
“Uh huh. You already bought breakfast for me. After escorting you, I’ll go back to take a shower and continue sleeping. “
“Thank you.”
“Yes.”
“Khun Gene is kind … kind.”
My head that was dizzy from feeling lack of sleep, suddenly woke up, when my eyes met the charming Nubsib, like a vast galaxy that looks mysterious and inexplicable.
Nubsib cast his gaze downwards, at my nose. Then get down to my mouth for a long time.
I closed my mouth automatically. Quickly moving my hand up “You hurry get ready. Before I get sleepy again, I have to drive myself.”
“Yes”
The tall figure walked out of the kitchen. I followed with a messy expression. But when I realized that I had to prepare too, I finally rushed over. Because even if it’s only in the car, going out in pajamas, t-shirts and shorts like this, isn’t cool. When I opened the door again and saw Nubsib already waiting on the sofa. “Come on, it’s too late.”
I grabbed my wallet and car keys and walked downstairs. Then Nubsib with his tall figure followed my steps, he only carried a file holder. When I got into the car, I waited for the person on the side to sit down and get ready, before starting the engine.
“Nubsib, would it be far away if I put you down at that red light? Later if … hey!” I haven’t even finished talking yet, the person beside me leaned over to me, making me startled and speechless. I felt tingling from the tip of my nose and the tip of my mouth. The stiff feeling creeps through my body, until I sink into the car.
“Khun Gene no need to worry.” Nubsib said in a low voice while raising his head and turning into a handsome prince. The breath of the person in front of me hits the corner of my mouth gently.
“…”
I could only widen my eyes and did not dare to speak, for fear that some parts of my body would touch.
“In ten minutes your class will start, and it’s a little stuck now, is that okay?”
“Yes.” After that he slowly retreated and smiled faintly as he answered my previous question.
“…”
I … had a heart attack, when I regained consciousness, I relaxed my muscles, I started moving and buckled up. Suddenly, when I turned towards Nubsib, the handsome face smiled sweetly.
I feel like asking ‘Is there something?’ Then confused me. “Okay, you must have expected it.” Then I put on my seat belt.
Nubsib then pulled the seat belt over his shoulder to shake off the awkwardness, then smiled as if nothing had happened. And the first thing I said before we left, “When we get there, don’t be naughty.”
“Yes” he will still respond with a charming face.
Almost thirty minutes later, we went to x university. I could tell that Nubsib was a student here from the news. The main character of my novel, after seeing her tall figure, attractive voice, and knowing where to study, what a perfect portrait. Good profile.
If at that time I didn’t participate in the audition, I would really regret not being able to see this person in person, because he is a male protagonist, with a princely personality, but secretly has a mysterious look like Nubsib is not bad. It’s same …
“Khun Gene.”
“…”
“Khun Gene will come back now?”
“Shia!”
I shouted again. Since early morning, I didn’t know that I was shocked because of Nubsib. While thinking about something pleasant about fiction, Nubsib suddenly appeared before me, approaching again, but this time, when I finished shouting, I used the palm of my hand to push his shoulders hard. To quickly step back from myself “Why do you like coming so close? Shocking. “
“I’ve called many times. But you keep daydreaming. “
“You can poke me.”
As I stared at him as if to blame him, he revealed a guilty expression, “Sorry.”
“Yes.”
Crazy …
“Continue?”
“I want to say to Khun Gene, if you pass my faculty building this way, you will find it difficult to turn.”
“Oh …” I hurriedly stepped on the gas pedal. Nubsib told me to go to the faculty building area. We walked towards the faculty building, outside it can be seen that on both sides there are many trees rubbing against each other because of the cool wind. After a while, Nubsib told me to stop.
“Khun, park here.”
“Yes”
I looked through the mirror. This is the square in front of the building. There were lots of chairs placed there. I saw students talking, eating snacks, playing with cell phones, some of them hanging around. Seeing that, he will think about the atmosphere when I was in college. Even though the university where I studied was not among the best universities, you could say that I wasn’t a good kid either. My dad always told me to be polite, he told me, that I was naughty than him. I’m hard to control, but that’s normal for a student. I often hang out with friends, play games, don’t come home to party and also do whatever I like.
Thinking about the past, while looking at Nubsib who was looking at the building from my ordinary car. If I were to walk into the park and sit there, not many people would notice me. But the boy next to me is amazing, even though he is still in the car, there are already several groups of girls who come to my car and see him through the windshield which is not equipped with window film. They came together and watched him enthusiastically
Oh …
“Why look at me like that?”
“Not!” I shrugged. “I already know you are a celebrity. It only feels real after seeing it in person.”
It reminded me of something, so I took my wallet and opened it, took out a white card and gave it to Nubsib. “Take the card, I forgot to give it to you yesterday. If you don’t have this card, you have to ask the janitor to open the elevator. This is used to access the lift before pressing the button. If you’re too lazy to open the condo door, just enter the code. Save the card properly, don’t lose it, because the replacement cost is very expensive.” Nubsib looked at the cards in my hand, then he accepted them with a smile from the corner of his lips.
“I will not lose what Khun Gene gave.” Oh boy, you praise me.
I thought I didn’t like it at first, but now I’m starting to like it, “Okay, go, you’ll be late later.”
“Yes, thank you for escorting me.”
“Hmm. I also want to go out.”
I spoke according to habit, but it made the person next to me stare at me in surprise. I wasn’t sure why the tall figure, ready to get out of the car, stopped its movement and turned around and smiled at me.
“Khun Gene came home with care.”
“…”
Why do I feel like I’m being spoiled? Hurry up and go …
From the corner of my eye, I could see Nubsib finally getting out of the car, I immediately shook my head thinking about it, trying to get rid of thoughts that shouldn’t have appeared, then I pulled my gear to go back home.
As a result of sleeping since noon, I woke up when the sun had set, my stomach was really hungry. I haven’t gotten out of bed yet, then grabbed my cellphone and saw a message from Hin.
Hin: P’Gene, please review the documentary, I’m sending you the file.
I just replied with a sticker, then I saw Tum sending LINE three hours ago.
Tum: Gene, tomorrow I’ll pick up Nubsib at eleven o’clock, I have something important to do.
Tum: Please tell him to get ready, so as soon as I arrive, we can leave right away.
Gene: Why didn’t you tell it yourself? What a pain!
I just sent the message to Tum, then glanced at the door of the room and saw the light coming in from the gap in the door. So I knew that Nubsib had returned from campus and was doing something outside, so the lights were on. I lied when I said that I didn’t hear anything while I was sleeping, maybe because Nubsib was moving slowly, so I just realized it.
Tum did not read and did not answer. Maybe he’s busy, so I stretched my arms and turned on the light, then walked towards the bathroom to wash my face. I became much brighter, I decided that tonight will be a long story. I’m going down to the supermarket to buy food to fill the refrigerator. I grabbed my glasses and walked out of the room, now that I’m used to Nubsib’s presence, so I’m not surprised anymore.
Uhhh…. “Nubsib …”
This is crazy! He did not wear clothes and walked around the room.
“Khun Gene,” the tall figure, stopped, holding a small towel again to wipe his hair, “what’s wrong?”
“Nothing.”
My voice caught in my throat. But my eyes are still staring at that person. I can’t take my eyes off him. My heart can’t lie if I’m interested in seeing the figure in front of me.
“Khun Gene?”
“Hmm …”
“I’m embarrassed if you keep looking at me like that.”
Because of those words, I looked away from the stomach that was like torn bread. I finally managed to avert my gaze, but when I looked at his handsome face, it made you want to run away because I was embarrassed. Unlike the person before me, he didn’t show the slightest bit of embarrassment.
“You … well, you’re in good shape, you also went to the gym?” I was finally able to correct myself with a stupid question
“Sometimes. If Khun Gene is interested, you can go with me.”
“Very well, maybe I could try and …” I thought of the message. Come on, change the conversation, “Ai Tum said tomorrow will come to pick you up at eleven o’clock.”
“Pick me up?”
“Hmmm, he said, there is business.”
“Oh! Good.”
“Before filming, you had your clothes fitted, right? Is there any problem?”
I don’t know why I want to know. Suddenly I wanted to ask, even though at first I was planning to go out and go downstairs to shop.
“Nothing, there are quite a lot of costumes, P’Tum has reference photos. Khun Gene can go and ask him.”
“Oh, I will ask. Oh! And my novelist has a tattoo on his left chest. Have you talked about it in the costume section?”
“I saw him order a tattoo, if you want to see it, we can go together tomorrow.” I’m just asking, but the person is also smiling.
“Tonight I thought I would be very busy with my work, so it seems like I won’t be able to leave because I am tired.”
“What a pity…”
“If I’m not that tired, I’ll be going.” I chose to answer him that way, before walking toward the door and picking up a pair of sandals.
Then Nubsib approached with his bare chest and asked, “Khun Gene, do you want to come out? Where are you going?”
“I’m going to the supermarket to buy groceries.”
Nubsib was silent for a moment, “I’m coming. Can you wait a moment?”
“Ha? Didn’t you already eat?”
“I have not eaten.”
The answer made me turn to the clock on the wall above the TV, “Haven’t eaten yet? But now it’s night.”
“I thought I would wait and eat with Khun Gene.”
“…”
The next sentence made me blink my eyelids quickly, “Hey, why did you have to wait for me? I told you that my sleeping time won’t suit normal people. If you wait for me, you will continue to starve. So don’t wait for me next time.”
Besides that Nubsib only lived with me for a while, why does he seem to be trying so hard to become close to me? He shouldn’t have to wait to eat with me anymore, is he really a good kid or just wants to take my heart? I am confused.
“I’m sure that Khun Gene won’t go shopping at 7pm. But fortunately, Khun Gene is awake now.”
“… Um, well, hurry up and put your clothes on,” Then I finally stood up and waited for the tall boy who immediately disappeared into the room.
Nubsib came out fully dressed, a stretchy shirt with pants, his hair was a little messy, but he still displayed his princely aura.
We walked downstairs without anyone saying anything. Upon entering the supermarket, I headed straight for the frozen food counter and Nubsib followed behind quietly. I took each meal for comparison, because it was late at night, there was only a small amount of food left. Well, even more fun is the half price discount.
I chose each meal with my own basket. Then I realized that this handsome person was just standing and looking at me calmly.
“How about you? Choose quickly. I’m hungry and my stomach hurts.”
“I don’t know what to eat …” Nubsib’s eyes saw the various types of food in front of him, I just waited patiently for him.
I sighed slowly, I was afraid he wouldn’t be able to choose it, so I had to take care of it, “I’ll choose for you, how?”
“Khun Gene, it’s almost expired.” He looked at the expiration date, he could see that it was actually expired.
“Oh! That’s right, let’s find another one.”
“Yes”
Nubsib chuckled, but a face showed satisfaction. I ended up choosing candy and ice cream to put in the basket saying I would pay for it before taking it to the counter without waiting for Nubsib .
The female staff on duty at the payment counter suddenly stopped when she saw Nubsib who was standing behind me.
“…”
Judging from the look in her eyes, I could tell that if she fell in love with Nubsib’s good looks, it was a normal thing that happened, I couldn’t stop that woman’s gaze . Nubsib saw it and smiled as usual, then looked at me.
The staff didn’t even move to serve me, so I sighed and lifted the basket myself, but I tripped and I was shocked when I felt a hand touch my waist and help me lift the basket. I wanted to swear and hope that the staff would hurry up to me.
As all the groceries got into the bag, I heard someone say with a surprised expression. “Excuse me, are you Nubsib?”
Nubsib had probably been through this a lot, so he just smiled faintly. “No.”
“Eh … really? Not? But your face… is very similar …” at the end of his sentence. Mumbling with her own .
“You may be the wrong person, many people say that I look like him.” The female staff still stared in astonishment like they couldn’t believe it.
“Oh, have you recently moved to this area?”
“Yes, I just moved in with my boyfriend. Have you done?”
“Ha?” I gasped.
The staff member gasped. But before the staff answered, Nubsib took the grocery bag that was already in order while he put his other arm around my waist and encouraged me to walk together out of the supermarket. I can only blink my eyes repeatedly, then turn to this person.
“What do you mean …”
“I’m just looking for an excuse.” Nubsib awaits my response.
I felt dizzy for a moment, lately he made me feel guilty, “How did you do that? You will move out in a month, and I will stay here.”
“I’m not saying that my boyfriend is Khun Gene.”
“We go together, he must have thought so.”
“ I don’t think so .”
“Nubsib …” I called the name of the person beside me in annoyance, I pushed his hand to let go of my waist. But Nubsib is Nubsib, if he didn’t feel defeated, so he just chuckled. His face and eyes look so charming, I almost got into his trap, the aura of this young man continues to radiate. “What is so funny?”
“No, I’m just happy.”
“Happy? Do you think I’m happy? “ I’m not happy.
“I’m glad. I love it when Khun Gene calls my name.” I stopped walking.
“I just called your name.” Alright… let’s have a look and see that I ‘m really frustrated with Nubsib, I know I shouldn’t call him that.
“Yes” but I think Nubsib is still satisfied.
“…” I can’t say anything.
“I want Khun Gene to feel more comfortable with me. I want to be closer to you, is that wrong?”
“ You still call me Khun Gene .”
The listener stopped walking, and looked at me with a smile from the corner of his lips, “Khun Gene, do you want me to call you by another name?”
“…”
Nubsib approached me, “Can I call you P’Gene?”
When he said ‘P’Gene’ in his low voice so softly, it made me feel unsteady, my ears and heart tingled. In the end I turned around and hurriedly walked, “You can call me by any name.”
“I don’t want to call Khun Gene with P.”
“…” if he said the reason was because he wanted to respect elder, I would stab and crush him. It will be better!
I rolled my eyes, my feet still moving, but my mouth didn’t want to say anything. I heard Nubsib’s footsteps approaching. The legs are long, slender and smooth.
“If I feel closer, I will change the call.”
“Up to you.”
“Khun Gene, like this, I like it.”
“…”
Who is stupid? Who doesn’t know? I’m just confused .
I wanted to turn around and argue, but another heart said that if I argue, it will look a little childish. Therefore choosing not to respond and just looking at that person, then I took the card and knocked to unlock the door.
I don’t know what kind of face Nubsib was showing but my ears could hear his laughter drifting in the wind. Want to be closer to me?
Nubsib a quiet person with a noble personality. A thin mouth is usually like a light smile , but I don’t know what power or magic this guy has that makes me lose my mind.
… What kind of child did Ai Tum give me?
