NOT ME 3

 

"Then take it up to bed and let's watch."

Sean carried his laptop up to the bed and nudged me aside to sit on the bed.

“What are you doing?  That place is mine! "  I exclaimed.  I am very scared of ghosts!  Despite acting cool, I'm still afraid!

“I told you to stop you after a while. Normally you're never scared. Are you scared today?” Sean looked at me, causing me to swallow saliva down my throat. Looks like I'm going to have to go along the flow, it's the only way because if I'm scared, Sean would know that something was wrong. I think it's like he knows it.

“Well ..." I'm the other twin!

“Turn off the main lights. Just turn on the lights on the Japanese table. That's enough." Sean says

“Uh…huh…"

Currently, I have no choice but to follow Sean's words.  After turning off the light, I hurriedly aim my place and quickly jumped onto the bed and bumped Sean hard.

Push!

“Why the hell are you in a hurry? I'm not going to watch it without you.” There was no sound, but the light from the laptop screen makes me see that he's smiling a little.

What the hell are you smiling at!?

I was sitting there watching, but i was a little too close to the screen so I laid a little back.

The movie's going on. The more thrilling it got, the more I pushed myself farther away from the screen.

Now, my back is close to Sean, who is lying behind me. Plus, I pulled the blanket, preparing to cover my face fully.

"If you keep pushing back, I will stick to the wall.” Sean mumbled right next to my ear.

“uh..aaa...shit!!”

I screamed aloud when the ghost in the movie ran into the front at the speed of light. Okay, it's just a camera angle. But now I have squeezed him hard, in fear, as if my life depends on it and now my face is covered with sweat.

“Hahah .. " I heard Sean's voice so I turned to curse him, “Go fuckin laugh at your father!”

“Really?" Sean from behind, locked my neck with his arm and hit my mouth loudly! “Ouch! Hurts!” I screamed and turned my head to look at him.

“Keep your mouth good.”

Sean put a still face on, so I could only turn my head back, but I wanted to turn it, look at him but Sean stiffened my neck, not allowing me to turn and look at him. Damn, this is not over.

“You buffalo! The corpse is in the closet in the back, so hurry and find it!” I slammed the table with frustration, because I wanted the movie to be over, and I realized that Sean hasn't let me go out of his embrace. But I'm so scared I don't want to get out of his arms right now either. It feels safe.

When the ghost came out, I squeezed his arm tightly.

"Hahahaha." Sean laughed.

"Is this a comedy movie?” I turned to insult him, “What's so funny?"

“The movie isn't funny... but you're funny.” Sean grinned until I could see the white teeth arranged in an orderly fashion, making me momentarily stunned with his smile,I acted indifferent. He was handsome enough but when he smiled like that he appeared even more handsome.

I kept my face still and turned ahead because I don't want to tell him. Until it's almost the climax. I keep my blanket close in case the ghost appears. As for Sean, the hand at first on my neck slipped down my shoulder.

Tighten …

I can't breathe!

At first I was afraid of ghosts but now I am more afraid of him

I just dare to think in my heart, do not dare to curse him. Maybe Black is very close to Sean, so acting like this is normal.  I don't want to have him hit my mouth anymore!

"Hey hey, when will it get over?"  I wiped the sweat from my forehead, "How torturing."

I don't look at Sean's expression, but I know he is chuckling because his shoulders are shaking.

He is very happy to see me suffering.

"Then don't look." Sean put his hand on my forehead, then slowly covered my eyes, "Just listen to the sound."

I felt as if my body is almost stuck to Sean's body.  I felt a bit weird, because Tod never hugged me like this.  We are all men.  I imagined me and Tod in bed hugging each other and I wanted to vomit all the goosebumps.

Sean still covers my eyes, but being hugged like this and listening to a ghost movie, my ears will be deaf!

While I was conflicted and confused, someone knocked on Sean's door.

Knock Knock knock!

I was startled.  Sean heard also and he was about to leave me and go out to open the door.  I unconsciously grabbed his sleeve, Sean turned his head, to look at me confusedly.

"Click pause."  I tightened my lips.  He silently looked at me then rubbed his nose but refused to press stop.  He got out of bed and opened the door of the room.  I pressed pause and folded the laptop screen.

"Whew ..."

I breathed a sigh ...

It's good that I'm not here alone in dealing with that awful thing!

"Hey you guys.. what's wrong with you two? You reek of alcohol." Sean's complaint rang out. I saw him give way to Gram and Yok in the room. Gram and Yok staggered together looking pitiful.

"Black, put the folding table away," Sean said, turning to me.

"Yeah."

I got up and put the folded table and set it up on the same corner as before, while Yok and Gram sat down there.

"Is it a freshman or you guys? Why are you like this?"  Sean complains and comes and sits in bed with me.

Gram pushed Yok's shoulder when he heard Sean ask them questions.

Yok's face turned red.

"Are you okay, Yok?"  I asked bowed down.
"I'm okay! Where am I? I'm not drunk!"  Yok's drunken words made me laugh.

You are so drunk as if you fell into a pot of wine, man!

"Motherf--r!  He drank, stumbled, from one cup to another, drank until he vomited, vomited all of it and now he's here! "  Gram said.

"He asked for it."  Sean concluded briefly.

"My head hurts" a vague sound came from Yok's throat.

"Sean, go get a towel and soak it in warm water. I'll wipe Yok's face."  After saying that, I sat down on the floor, placing his head on my lap.

Sean doesn't say a word but does as I say, right after that a towel and a bowl of warm water are placed beside me.

I think his condition is much more serious than Gram's. My friend had the same problem before, if I wiped his face with a towel and told him to drink water after he woke up, his symptoms would be greatly reduced.

I gently took the Yok lying on my lap and wiped his face.  Sean and Gram are watching me.  After wiping Yok's face, I tried to push him up to let him drink water, but he was heavier than I thought, so Sean had to help.  After pushing Yok up, Gram laid his head on my lap.

"What are you doing?"  I look puzzled.

"I'm jealous, wipe me up."

Are you an eight year old child?

“I'm also drunk, I'm also drunk.  You won't be able to wipe Yok without wiping me!"  Gram was not satisfied.  I rolled my eyes because I was speechless.  I got a towel soaked in warm water and wiped his face.

"Sean, give Yok some water, he will be better."  I told Sean as I wiped Gram's face.

"Hmm." I'm just wiping your face, not giving you a facial spa!  Why do you have to make  sounds like that?

"I will slap you. Lie quietly." I scolded Gram.

"Treat me well, I'm your friend."

"If you want me to treat you well, then be my wife." I said sarcastically.

"A crazy person like me can only be your husband, Black. Don't think about that."  Gram replied.

Oh My God!

Sean slammed the bathroom door shut, and the loud noise surprised me.

"Sean, are you not satisfied?"  Gram turned and asked.

"I'm pissed. If you're not drunk, get up and take back Yok to bed."

This is the first time I hear Sean cursing his friend.  This time it seems serious because it normally doesn't say that.  Maybe he was very angry even though his face was still the same.

"Damn it, that guy Yok is in debt." Gram grumbled and got off my lap.

"I heard you asked him to go." I said.

"Shut up. You're my wife, don't tease your husband like this."

I rolled my eyes at Gram.  When did I become his wife?

Finally, Gram and Sean carried Yok to bed.

"I'm going to sleep, I'm tired." said Sean.  I sighed when we were finished.

"The bed is small and 4 people will sleep, I think it's annoying."

"You should go to sleep, it is almost morning."  Sean said, "They are not here for the first time, are you still not used to it?"

"I'm used to it, but I still find it annoying." What the fuck? I can't sleep with them like this.

Sean pushed Yok inside the room.

"Damn you, Gram! Step back and let Black and me sleep inside. You will have to sleep outside." Sean scolds when he sees that Gram seems to want to jump into bed.

"Oh! What the hell! P Sean, how can you treat Nong Gram like that? Have you forgotten our past?"

His brain is full of ideas from TV series. Gram started complaining about Sean, whining from time to time, and I couldn't help laughing, but Sean ignored it.

"Black, come here" Sean called to me.

I had to climb into bed and lie next to Yok, and Sean followed me and nervously asked:

"Yok smells of alcohol, can you sleep?"

"Can sleep. Gram too, it's okay."

"What does it have to do with me? I will take off my pajamas!"  Gram took off his shirt, leaving only a 3-hole shirt.  The smell of alcohol has faded quite a bit.  I turned to take off Yok guy's shirt leaving only his boxers on and threw it on the floor.

"Is it better?"  Sean asked.

"Ah, I wiped Yok's face and gave him some water. It should be fine."

“Sleep, sleep,” Gram was about to lie down, but Sean kicked him off the bed.

Kick!

Thud!

"What the fuck is that? Damn !! You want to fight today!"

"Go turn off the lights. If you sleep outside without turning off the lights, who will turn off?"

"Hahahahaha ..." I chuckled as I heard Sean and Gram argue.

"What the fuck is that Black guy laughing at ?!"  Gram angrily rushed over to try to grab my wrist, but Sean immediately threw his hand away.

SMACK!

"Oh hey! Sean, it hurts!"  Gram shouted, shaking his beaten hand vigorously.

"Turn off the lights." Sean turned over and got ready for bed.  Gram had to turn off the light and climb back into bed.

I awkwardly lay on my back.  On the right is a sleeping Yok and on the left is Sean, who turns to my side to sleep, his soft breath against my cheek.  Although Sean turned the air conditioner to the lowest level, I still felt uncomfortable.

And there was only one blanket, so the battle for blankets would definitely break out right after sleeping.

"Can't you sleep?"  Sean's voice is heard in my ear.

"Um, shall I sleep on the floor? How annoying," I said in a low voice.

"Wait for Gram's to sleep, I'll kick him down."  It sounds like Sean is joking, but I know he will.

"Want to kick me out of bed? Dream on." replied Gram.

And then no one said anything.

~30 minutes later ~

Wheeze ~
Gram and Yok's snoring was so loud that I couldn't sleep, I think I might not be able to survive tonight.  They take turns to snore non-stop.  It's like participating in a national snoring competition.  When Gram stopped, Yok continued and when Yok stopped, Gram continued.  Is this the snoring game!!?

While I felt like the whole world was going to fall, the guy Sean lying beside was sleeping very soundly, as if he was used to it.

I really admire him.

Just as my patience was about to reach the limit, Yok suddenly sat up startled, then turned his head to look at me:

"Black?"

"Yeah" I calmly replied, but in my heart I just wanted to sew his mouth close to make him stop snoring!

"I want to go out to smoke." Yok said.

"Yeah." I nodded.

"Come out on the balcony with the me." he said.

"Yeah."

I nodded, since I didn't want to wake Sean, I gently got out of bed and followed Yok to the balcony.

Yok opened the balcony door, lit a cigarette and started smoking.  It seems that Sean loves to smoke here, because there is an ashtray full of ashtrays.

"Need a cigarette?" Yok asked.

"No need." I refuse.  Actually, I don't smoke, but I know Black smokes and latter is quite addicted to it.

"It's unbelievable, someone like you refuses to smoke." Yok said with a laugh.

"I just don't really care." I said.

Yok said nothing but took a deep breath as if he would not survive tomorrow.  His expression seemed annoyed.  As a friend, I should worry about it.  So I reached out and put my hand on his shoulder.

"Yok"
"Huh?"  He turned his head and looked at me.

"You ... if something is bothering you just tell me."

Yok was silent for a while after listening to me, then laughed softly and pushed his half a cigarette into the ashtray.

"Only you always understand me."

"What happened?"

"Do you remember I said I was in love with someone?"  Yok asked, of course I don't remember, since the person he was talking to  was Black.

"Remember." I nodded.

"Then you asked who it was, but I didn't say it."  Yok continued.

"So you want to tell me today?"  I ask.

"Yes." Yok nodded.  Then he got so close that his nose almost touched my ear.

"I like Sean's girlfriend."

The ...

At that moment, the balcony door opened, and Yok and I hurriedly parted, standing next to the door was Sean with a still face, I was so scared that I turned pale.

"Are you talking about me?."

"S ... Sean."

"Why are you so scared? I just asked what you said?"  Sean folded his arms at both of us, we turned to look at him.  It seems that Yok is still obscure.  He did not expect Sean will wake up at midnight.

"Nothing, I just took Yok out to smoke."

"Yok, you don't have arms or legs? Why do you need someone to walk you?"

"I casually came along with him."  I answered in lieu of Yok once again.

Sean slams his face and I have to shut up immediately.

"If you are done, go to sleep."

Sean doesn't believe us and we didn't say anything.  Because of the last sentence, he is mocking us and he already knows what we did.  And he asked us to go back to sleep if we're done.

After Sean entered the room, I whispered to Yok:

"We'll talk again tomorrow."

"..."

Yok didn't speak but nodded, and then we hurried back to bed and resumed sleeping.  Lying in bed, I couldn't stop thinking about it.  I remember  that Gram always mentioned Sean's girlfriend.  If I remember correctly her name is Namo and Sean also said that he was going to break up.  I remember him saying b"not a novel that can't be break up."  Maybe Yok fell in love with this girl, I will ask again tomorrow.

The next morning …

"Black, wake up!"

The roar in my ear and my body shook violently, which startled me to wake up.

“Damn Gram!  What the hell are you calling me up for?" I asked in a low voice.

"We finished showering. You quickly take a shower and change your clothes for school. We're late."

Gram's explanation made me jump out of bed, grab a towel and hurriedly take a shower.  After bathing, we went down to the building together to prepare for class.

Usually  Sean rides a motorbike, as Yok and Gram ride the motorbike together.  But today I sat behind Sean, Yok and Gram in a private car.

While in the car, Sean asked about me and Yok yesterday.

"What did tell Yok yesterday?"

"Catching up since I've been gone for a few days."

"So why kiss?"  Sean asked.

"What? Kiss? I kissed Yok? Don't talk about these disgusting things," I said.

"I saw."

Sean says calmly, and I frown as I try to think about what happened yesterday, only then will I understand why Sean misunderstood.

"Oh, it's not a kiss, he just bent over and whispered to me."

"Then why did he whisper?"

Damn, there's a new question.

"I couldn't hear it clearly, so it came closer and said." I lied.

"Sure?"  Sean repeated.

"Of course I am." I insisted.

"Hope so." he just said that.

"How can you think me and Yok like that? Everyone here are friends, how can we do that?"

"I don't know, but I like to take it."

I don't understand what Sean said.

"What do you mean?"  I ask.

"..."

Sean did not answer me, causing me to be confused by his words.

*B University *

After we got to school, we went to eat first and Gram kept talking about being late.

"Why don't you hurry up if you say it's late?" I asked Gram.

"When you're hungry, the brain learns nothing."  Gram replied, “I have to give my brain a little bit of energy."

"Like you would  understand even if you eat well. If the zombies enter in this world, you will be alive. Do you know why? Because zombies only eat brains!"

It was early in the morning and Yok and Gram bantered with each other.  Although it hurts, I can't help but laugh.

"Hehehe." I laughed softly.

"If there's no hoe in the world, you'll be the first to die, because the farmer will use your teeth as a hoe."

[T/N: Gram often makes fun of Yok for his teeth because of their shape. Hoe here is the agricultural equipment and not a slang.]
Gram protested bitterly that I couldn't help but laugh.

"Ha ha ha ha"
Sean smiled at me, then lowered his head but I already saw the smile on his face.

Is my smile that ugly?  Why does he laugh at me?

"Gram, you monster!" Yok took off his hat and hit Gram after he spoke. Gram quickly picked up the hat and put the hat on his head.

"If I had a choice, in my next life I would be a big-toothed rabbit, because… I'm so cute!"  After saying that, Gram still bared his front teeth and looked at us strangely.

“Wait! I'm going to puke, ”I said.

"Go aside."  Gram patted me on the head, seeming dissatisfied because I didn't take him on.

"Want something to eat?"  Sean asked.

"Go, Black and I will wait here." Yok said, seemingly intending to continue talking yesterday.

"You go with Gram, I will wait."  Sean suddenly changed his mind, and Yok and I could only look at each other.

I suspect Sean knew the secret between me and Yok.  If he stays like this all day, he definitely won't let me and Yok stay alone.
