TEST LOVE 2

 

Chapter 02

“Not tonight Ohm. I have to get up early tomorrow.”

On the balcony of the luxurious apartment, Purin was sitting on a wooden chair with a beer can in hand that had been half drunk and the other hand holding a phone as he talked to his best friend who was trying to get him out of the house.

[“Don’t say like that Pu. Tomorrow is Sunday. Your father won’t drag you to work. Let’s go out and have a drink. You better come. You'll feel better after seeing some girls.”]

He could hear his friends from high school calling out loudly as they were interrupted by loud music indicating that they were already getting drunk. Ordinary people would have readily accepted this invitation.

“No way. I don’t have time. I’m waiting for a child tomorrow and I don’t know at what time he will come.”

[“Your……? Who…..? What? Are you taking someone in? You’re single right?”]

The question expressed by the speaker in surprise made Purin laugh out loud. Sharp eyes lit at the thought of the younger boy he was talking about.

“You don’t know any child. Just knowing that their lips are small and pink is enough for you.”

[“Hey honestly? The Purin I know does not have a liking for children. Thai girls and foreign girls are all hot.”]

The person he was talking about was not a child but just his next door neighbor. Purin shrugged a little not intending to explain further to his friend who clearly did not understand the situation. If he told that it was his neighbor the person would come looking for him and invite him also for a drink. Although Dear was younger than them, they were all familiar with him.

“Ha ha ha.”

[“What the hell are you laughing at?”]

“Nothing. Good luck tonight.”

Purin was laughing at the memory of the younger boy’s face from the previous day.

He rejected his friend’s invitation and immediately hung up the phone. The other hand poured the beer into his mouth while thinking about the person who was almost 170 cm.

This kid was not just like a Nong to him but rather like a family member.

“This is good. Being alone in this room is sometimes lonely. Having a nong to be with me could be better.” Porsche thought out loud and took the last gulp of beer before heading back to his room. Then thinking that his life would be more colorful and chaotic now that the boy from next door will be coming in.

“P’Porsche! When I grow up I want to be just like you. Just wait and see.”

The image of a 10-year old excitedly screaming at him when he won a high school project made Purin laugh again. He remembered how when he was younger he could not help be sorry for him.

“P’Dream how could you do that to your own brother?”

Dear was moaning and sobbing loudly. Less than 2 minutes ago his beloved sister took him and left him at the front desk of the skyscraper they had just visited the previous day. She actually kicked him out because she parked the vehicle in front of the building, told him to get out and lowered the luggage out and simple said, “Go ahead my dear brother. You’ve already seen the room the day before. Now I’m going to go home and sleep. Bye. See you on Friday.”

She then immediately turned the car around, not waiting to hear the screams of the brother early in the morning at 7.00 a.m.

7.00 a.m. on a Sunday, Dream!! What crazy person would be up so early? Are you planning to leave me sitting here waiting for him to wake up??

“What can you do Dear? You better call Sun* to pick you up and then go to his apartment first and then come back later.” Dear muttered to himself and pulled out his phone to call his best friend who got into the same class as him. Sun told him that he moved into his apartment the day before. If he hadn’t let Dream handle his apartment problem, he could have easily gotten into the same dormitory as Sun.
[T/N : Yes, it’s the same Sun from LBC/My Accidental Love is You universe]

“Ahem….. uh…… Nong.”

Before he could make the call, a voice from behind him stopped him short.

He then turned to look at a beautiful girl in the uniform of a staff who was probably on duty at the reception desk. He knew his appearance was miserable. Playing with a strap of the backpack while pushing a suitcase and large plastic bag full of food from home, it was obvious that this was a person moving houses.

“Are you calling me?” Dear asked.

“Ah yes. Sorry. Let me carry your things. He he.”

Dear raised his hand to scratch his head shyly causing the girl in front of him to smile sweetly at him.

“You’re moving in right? You’re Dear? Miss Dream informed me yesterday that her brother would be moving to Khun Purin’s room and asked me to help you out. Also last night Purin called me again on the phone to tell me that if I saw a boy with a bright face who will come with many bags and looked like he came from the country to the city for the first time, then that is Dear.”

I almost thanked him in my heart. Almost. Why did he have to describe me like that?

“Come on. I’ll help you.”

“Eh…ok. I can do it alone.”

“It’s ok. Dream ordered me to. Oh my name is Fon. Call me whatever you want.”

Ms Fon said and moved to help carry Dear’s bags but it only made the listener to look at the sky with a bored expression. He was not even a little surprised at how his sister acted out like she was the owner of the room. If you can befriend someone beneficial, then you can do anything.

Dear who had good manners did not waste any time and opened the door and dragged the suitcase behind the young woman who seemed excited and got into the elevator.

But then as he prepared to go and press the floor, the beautiful person turned to him with shining eyes after pressing it herself.

“Thank you.” Dear said.

“Okay. No problem. And nong……. Are you sure you’re Dream’s brother? But then you’re so cute. She’s also pretty and you’re also handsome. Do you have a lover?”

“Not yet?”

He didn’t think himself as stupid but Dear was rambling in panic. His scared appearance gave his inner thoughts away to the other person.

“I don’t want to scare you. I just wanted to ask about you. A new handsome boy is entering the building now so I just wanted to know.”

The answer made Dear nod, understanding why his sister could be close to her. Fon was the type to make sure to know everything that was happening in the building.

“That’s all. I’m really jealous of Nong Dear. Being in the same room as Khun Purin. I’ve been watching him for so long and I really want to know if he has a lover or not. I asked him indirectly many times but he always dodged my question.”

The thoughts in his heart could only be hidden deep inside after hearing that. Then the elevator pinged to tell that they have stopped at the desired floor. Not long after both of them carried the luggage to the place they were going to. P’Fon now turned to leave him alone.

“Come on Dear. You’re already here. It’s ok to wake him up.” The boy spoke to himself before ringing the doorbell. He rang it several times but he only got silence in response to it. He waited until his shoulders started to hurt and still heard only silence. He looked left and right and then looked at the watch. It was 7.20 a.m. He was not sure what to do.

Then an idea came to him. So he reached for his wallet and pulled out the key-card that was given to him and pressed it to the lock. Without thinking too much about manner he entered the room. It is better to sit and wait in the living room rather than standing outside like a lost child.

“I’m entering P’Porsche!” He muttered softly before pushing the door open completely and pulled his luggage in. Then suddenly a certain room was opened and a person inside came rushing out.

“Hello Dear. Let me help you. Sorry. I was taking a shower a moment ago.”

The boy stopped short with only one foot inside when he saw that the owner of the room came out in only a pair of shorts that was just above his knee. His hair was damp indicating that he was in the shower till few seconds ago and it was still dripping water to his neck. On his broad shoulders there was a white towel. But more than it was the smile on his face that Dear noticed the most.

P’Porsche is so handsome and his body is so beautiful.

“Come on. I’ll help you.”

“No it’s not necessary. Go finish your shower. I can handle this alone.”

Before he realized he saw that the handsome man had reached out and pushed the door completely open with one hand and then took the luggage with the other and dragged it in.

Dear’s thoughts were running wild. What if he was forced to be a wife now? Thinking such things he glanced at the other’s abs. Seeing this Purin laughed out.

“What? Are you ashamed of me? Before, we used to bathe naked together.”

Purin said that to the other person happily without realizing that he was looking from head to toe. That made the other person stop short and start freaking out internally.

Who is shy? Where? How is Dear going to be embarrassed just because he saw Porsche shirtless? He had seen much more beautiful people than him.

“Who’s shy? Not at all P’Porsche. It’s just that you came out suddenly like that.”

He pretended to be ok while lifting his face directly to look into the other’s eyes causing Purin to choke suddenly. He cannot believe that the boy from the other day who was sitting so shyly suddenly had the courage to speak that way to him. But that was good. Seeing Dear that day, he was not used to that.

“Hmmm. You really think that way?”

Then the boy dropped everything and stroke his chin with his hand as if he was thinking. The sharp eyes lit up no less. The tall body moved close to the other. Dear could feel the heat from the others person’s body. And those eyes scanned him from head to toe making him feel hot and cold at the same time.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

I swear my voice is not shaking. There is no shaking anywhere!

“Well nothing. I just thought of asking……Are you interested in being P’Porsche’s wife Dear?”

Dear was shocked.

At Purin’s word, Dear froze. Dazed eyes looked at the sharp face who had an evil smile on his face. The other hand was on his chin as he leaned closer. The other person couldn’t help but feel the beating of his heart. Who thought that Porsche would ask such a thing?

Interested in being P’Porsche’s wife Dear?

Interested in being P’Porsche’s wife Dear?

Interested in being P’Porsche’s wife Dear?

Interested in being P’Porsche’s wife Dear?

What are you asking?

The once brave man now was motionless in shock and was screaming internally. His ears started turning red. The thoughts in his mind were colliding with each other. He didn’t know if it was a joke or not. But before he could say anything a big hand was placed on his head.

“Look at this face. I was just joking. Go to your room. Go!”

“Ahhh it was a joke.”

Dear said that when Purin laughed at him. Dear took a deep breath which was a mix of relief and disappointment. There was strange feeling in his chest.

The hands of the boy carried the bags to the center of the room with his head lowered as if he did not find any joy with Porsche.

The sad figure made Porsche laugh slightly and then he pushed this nong’s head slightly.

“You’re thinking too much. Come then. Follow me. I’ll take you to the room.”

Purin said and walked to the small room without noticing the expression on the other person’ face. That small boy raised his head to rub his chest repeatedly.

Don’t think too much. I didn’t know why I thought that he was serious. I can’t believe I was going to answer it seriously and say yes! Think before you answer Dear!!

The person sighed again due to his own thoughts. While wondering if it was right or wrong to have his sister bring him here. Because they were together for less than 10 minutes and it felt like he was in acrobatic training for 4 hours.* If they were like this every time they were together, Dear would die before graduation.

(*E/N : His heart beat was so fast it seemed like he was practicing acrobatics.)

And there is no denying the question that was said before ‘Are you interested in being P’Porsche’s wife Dear?’ He said it with a smile. P’Porsche was so handsome that he could not be forgiven. The image was really too beautiful and that made his angry. Dear was scolding himself and dragged his belongings not noticing that the other boy had turned and see the strange expression on his face and was shaking his head in amazement at Dear.

Nong Dear was surprised right now. Why was he is so cute when he was like that? It made him only want to tease him more. What are you thinking Porsche? You’re probably still drunk from yesterday.

“Dear, do you want breakfast?”

Purin knocked on the door and opened the door. He saw the room with all cabinets opened and drawers all pulled out while the young boy was siting on the floor next to the bed.

“No I already ate at home……”

“But Dream called earlier and said she hadn’t had breakfast even.”

I hate my sister so much! Dear could only scream from exasperation in his heart. It took him a long time to hide in the room, close the door and get his heart to calm down. So why does he have to face that person again and spend time with him? The person who has asked him to be his wife.

“P’ can eat first. I am not hungry.”

grumble

grumble

grumble

Hu hu hu. I hate my stomach so much.

Before he could deny any words his body took the time to show its dissatisfaction with its owner. The sound of loud grumbling in the stomach made the older boy standing enar the door way to just…………

“Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.”

I hate your laugh right now P’Porsche!

The person who was sitting down just turned his grim gaze towards Purin which made him only laugh out louder.

“Come. Come eat. My stomach is also protesting. Come on.” This time Purin turned to grab the arms of the young boy who’s face had turned red and had fisted his hands to stand up. Dear tried to hold on for a bit but was forced out of the room.

He looks like he was ready to throw a punch at my face before. Purin thought laughingly. From the moment he had asked that question as a joke, the boy had been silent and stayed behind the closed door of his room for about 3 hours, no longer showing his face to him. After that he went in order to break that silence.

‘Here, eat this. I just got back from Korea so there’s no food available in the house. Only omlettes and sausages. And there are some packets of instant noodles and rice so someone can eat it if they get sick.”

Purin said that and then turned to the table with an American breakfast laid out. He still didn’t stop bothering the younger boy who was peacefully sitting down.

“I don’t get that sick easily P’.”

“Is that so?”

Again this laugh. Can I buy it so I can lock it away? Stop smiling and laughing at me like that!

The person sitting down was thinking. Since he woke up early morning and then unpacking and working all the time, his stomach was empty. So he quickly grabbed the fork and started plating up his plate and put the food in his mouth quickly. He kept on chewing continuously.

“By the way I forgot to ask. What is your engineering major?”

“Com”

“Com?”*

[T/N : Computer Engineering. Yes we are back with the Engineering trope.LOL]

Dear nodded before continuing to devour the food.

After he finished eating, he was thinking of locking himself up again so he did not have to look at the face of the person sitting next to him with bright eyes.

Every thing felt like he was having a heart disease. The appearance on the younger boy’s face made Purin frown a little. He admitted he felt sorry for the boy who was quickly shoveling food in his mouth. He was even avoiding eye contact with him.

“Do you talk to Lex often?”

“Two or three times a week.”

The boy gave an answer when he heard a question related to another friend he was close to back during high school but who had left to USA too. The mentioned person was actually the younger brother of the person sitting in front of him. And no the name Lex doesn’t come from less, it actually means Lexus, the car. The whole family was crazy about cars.

“More than me then.”

“I play DotA with him so I speak with him during the games.”

[T/N : Defends of Ancients. It is a multiplayer online game.]

Porsche nodded after hearing the answer. The
apparent refusal of the younger boy to
continue the conversation made older boy give
up. Then the tall boy rose and walked away
making Dear sigh in relief. He was obvious o
the feelings of the boy who went back
to poking his sausages slowly. At the same time
the sound of the television could be heard
from the living room.

Maybe Porsche was watching TV. Dear knew
how to behave himself and washed his dishes
after eating and cleaned the place up. After
that Dear got ready to go back to his room to
start arranging his belongings. But when he
approached the living room he got the answer
for his question earlier.

Huh, don’t hate me later for putting you down
P’Porsche.

The person who thought that was paused at
the edge of the doorway watching the familiar
RPG appearing on the screen. The new console
made him want to play using it so badly but he
could not help but judge the person who made
the game character fall off the cliff.

“How can I get over myself?”

The murmur of the person struggling so bad
made the listener laugh. The big boy who was
laughing at him few minutes ago was struggling
with a frustrated face and that made him feel
better. He was pressing the knobs several times
struggling and he could not help feeling
happier.

P’Porsche felt like a normal person to him now.
Not the perfect person that all the girl wanted.
This thought made Dear move closer to the
chair of the person who was sitting there
playing the game.

“P’Porsce let me give it a try.”

“Hm? Go ahead. It’s difficult. I haven’t gotten
past it since yesterday.”

Purin turned to look at him and gave him the
controller without any protest and watched the
younger boy move to sit on the floor in front of
the screen. His round eyes stared at the screen.

“I passed it!”

“Hey! How can that be?”

With just a few clicks, the character who was
desperately going up and down the cliff
crossed to the other side of the mountain with
ease causing Purin to gasp in amazement and
to look at the boy puffing his chest in pride.

“Well then you’re fine now.”

The round eyes had a proud look. The white
face looked into the eyes that were previously
dodging his. So he put his hand on that head
and rubbed it slightly.

“Yes. Good good. Now play a bit for me.”

“Trust me P’Porsche. Dear’s skills are good.”

The adult was clearly silent because of that
bright voice that he had not heard for a long
time. Even his face had a sincere and bright
smile. Then the game addicted boy turned
around and continued playing the game as if he
had suddenly remembered that he was
avoiding looking at this person. Purin could not
help but smile.

I’m sorry but I like it when you make that happy face.

After that the person who was going to arrange
his belongings was sitting and playing the game
continuously. Sometimes he would get up to go
to the bathroom but still he would dive back in
as soon as he got back. Meanwhile the owner
of the game simply sat down with a book and
quietly read while sitting on the same chair.

It wasn’t until Dear realized that there was
warm touch on his head that he was brought
back to the real world.

“It would be nice if we had saved it.”

“Eh…..”

That scream was not because he was stopped from playing but Daranapat froze when he realized that his back was resting on Purin’s legs while his arm was resting on his knee.

He raised a puzzled face to look at the person
who was bent over that they were only a little
apart….almost to the point that he could see
Porsche’s nose bridge.

As soon as he realized it he quickly turned.
With the absence of the game he could easily
feel the warmth on his back now. It also
showed that it was sign that he was sitting in
that position for a while without actually
realizing it.

Why didn’t P’Porsche say anything?

“I’m sorry P’Porsche for sitting like this for a
long time. You should have told me.”

He said while moving away from him. The
feeling of the warmth on his back made his
face hot. Added to that the other spoke in a
relaxed manner.

“Just lean back. I have nothing else to do. At
least I could be a support and having
something to keep me warm is good.”

“I’m not a dog!!!!!”

He screamed although his heart trembled to
the point that it was shown by the hands that
were shaking as if they wanted to hit someone.
The listener frowned not knowing when he
called the other person a dog.

“It doesn’t matter now. Go and clean up. I’ll
take you out to eat.”

“Huh?”

This time Dear was puzzled and was met with a
bright smile that he hated and loved the most.

“Well we have to go and celebrate. I’ll drive
you to look at the buildings in college that you
will be studying in.”

The question made the listener nod his head
strongly. The round eyes were noticeably
larger. Even Dream had not taken him to
celebrate.

“Ok. I’ll go and wash my face and come soon.”

After saying that the person quickly closed the
game and cleaned the place up and put the
equipment away and immediately ran to his
room making the other boy smile.

He thought about what Dear looked like……
when he made that happy face it was like he
saw an imaginary tail wagging side to side with
his ear peaked up.

In the end it looked like Porsche got a puppy to
raise and not a roommate.
