TEST LOVE 3

 

Chapter 03 -Vibrations, vibrations

“I know that your family is very rich but are you’ll that rich that you can afford such a beautiful Aston Martin?”

In the parking lot of the upper class apartment, the young boy was gaping at the car that was imported from UK. The car that was known for the wealthy to have, the car that can be only afforded by those who have millions. But right now the owner of that car was only wearing a long pant, a white crew-neck t-shirt and flip-flops.

From the way he was dressed, driving a normal Japanese car would be much more suitable.

“Hm. My daughter is beautiful right?”

Yes. The car was so cool that he called it as a girl.

“Your car?”

“Yes. I borrowed the money and bought it. I work on paying it on installment every month so it will take about 20 more years until I finish that debt.”

Purin said it loudly and opened the door of the car and nodded at the boy to get in. As his house was next door by just walking few steps outside, Dear could always see the mini showroom in his neighbor’s house.

“Oh please. Don’t lie to me. Uncle Sak bought it for you. I know! Even lex complains every day that you get everything and that they love you more. Besides Uncle Sak gives you anything you like. So didn’t uncle buy it for his perfect son?”

Dear said that while pouting and plunging his butt on the seat. Ahh… genuine leather fragrance. It felt cool.

“Then what else do you know?”

Purin asked. He didn’t know why he was worried that his brother might say some more bad things about him. After hearing that question, the boy who was sitting with his eyes closed and smelling the fragrance, open his eyes and look at the other with excitement etched on his face.

“He said that you are Uncle Sak’s favorite. That you are good in everything that you do unlike him, who is average. He said your average is also better than his best and that Uncle Sak would most probably leave all the property to you rather than him. So lately he has been hanging on to Aunty Nee, acting like a good kid. So that he can survive on the jewels at least without working hard."

The small story made the listener laugh out loud. Unexpectedly the younger brother was born with such tragic feelings towards their father and was always joking around like this. Who said that they didn’t love him? They always send him money which he uses to play around with.

“Then tell him there is no hope. Not a jewel of my mother will fall into his hands either.”

The words made Dear roll his eyes. Then he turned and look at the driver, driving with one hand on the steering wheel, which made him look even more handsome.

“Don’t be so petty.” Dear said.

“I’ll have to work harder!”

“He is your brother!!”

“So what?”

“P’Porsche!!”

Dear was very worried for his friend. That he would actually get no inheritance because the person next to him was planning on getting it all for himself. He could only cry in his heart for the words he heard. His eyes seemed angry and he thought that he should contact Lex as soon as he gets back and tell him that his brother is trying to steal all the assets of his family.

The angry look on the other’s face made Purin reach out and rub his head and say in a laughing tone,

“It’s a joke. You sure are an easy kid to fool.”

Purin’s words made the listener gaping at the older person who just continued laughing at him.

“Come on I just wanted to see if Dear had changed.”

“What does that have to do with you saying those things before?”

“Hmm! Well that’s something that I wanted to know and now I know it already.”

Purin turned to look into the eyes of the person who was looking at him before laughing fondly at the boy who was lost for words.

“…..You are still nice as always. Caring about other people’s affairs before yours.”

The older boy spoke graciously before his long hand rested on the smaller boy’s head. He began to feel that holding or touching him like this gave him an indescribable feeling. Maybe it was because the little boy’s hair was as soft as a puppy’s fur.

The words made Dear look back at him while his heart was pounding. It started pounding even harder when the person smiled at him.

“You were always a good person Dear.”

The sentence made the listener look away and speaking softly while looking out the window.

“P’Porsche is crazy.”

In short his ears were red, the older person looked with a smile. After that he drove the car to the restaurant they were going without thinking.

This is not good at all. I want to be called a good boy by P’Porsche! What should I do?

“You! You’re not afraid of getting your daughter scratched?”

After sitting quietly for a while thinking about the P'Porsche, Dear reached out and pulled his roommate’s hand and said while looking at the owner of the car who had parked it in an alley. The problem was the alley, if it was a little bit wider, there would have been no problem but if even a motorcycle came down the alley, it would surely scratch the beautiful Aston Martin.

“Scratch?? Is someone trying to scratch my baby?”

P’Porsche really loved to tease Dear to death. Dear could only purse his lips when the other boy said it with a smile on his face. The smiled looked so beautiful that he wanted to stare at him for a long time. So the round eyes quickly turned away before those thoughts invaded his head.

“Nothing. I was just talking nonsense.”

After saying that, he pouted even more making the viewer laugh. Sharp eyes stared at the small boy who was standing with his arm crossed and looking away. He could not help but think that he really liked the face Dear was making. It was too cute.

“Okay there aren’t anymore cars in the alley. Come on let’s go in. I’m hungry.”

Being hungry what doe that have to do with my neck?

Dear could only think that and shake his head when Porsche’s arms closed around his neck and pulled him closer. The deep voice said that in a funny way and silently approached the smaller boy and went to hug his neck. The warmth that is transferred from that hand to his body made the boy being hugged go rigid.

Don’t pretend like nobody has ever hugged you Dear! Sun does it, Ae does it and even Pond does it. Everyone in your gang has hugged your neck like this before. Stop making your stupid heart go crazy.

His mouth was cursing his own heart but his feet still followed the other. Feeling helplessly warm on the cheeks and trying not think about it too much of the scent that was invading his nose making him unable to breathe even.

P’Porsche smells like….. sunlight…… Sunlight that was too hot to feel cheerful.

While he thought like this he slowly looked at the face of the owner of the arm that was around his neck. Slowly a smile appeared little by little.

P’Porsche I really like you.

Dear spoke to himself in his heart. He knew that his head slowly leaned more towards the other, and he felt his body slowly relax as he let the big boy guide him into the restaurant. His heart was beating fast and he himself did no longer want to prevent it.

If you like Porsche, just let it be. What else can you do from your heart feeling those thoughts?

“This place is good and not too expensive. A factory subordinate recommended it to me. I came here a few times and I liked it. It’s not too far from your university either. If a senior or a code-brother* asks you, you can even bring them here.”

[T/N : Code-brother system is a system that is in universities in Thailand. Normally the students get a student ID that corresponds with the one of the higher batch but it is differentiated by the graduation-batch number. It is custom for senior code-liners to help their junior by giving them a helping hand in work, and giving them books and such.]

As soon as they entered the restaurant, Porsche took the lead, passing many tables with large groups of teenagers and young adults. One can assume that many students come here with one look at the crowd. The person who was following leaned forward and said,

“You’re not afraid that I’ll order an expensive meal?”

The words made Purin to turn and look at the speaker causing him to blush.

“No I think Dear will order as usual.”

Usual people who are close to Daranpat knows that he likes to eat.

“Maybe I’m different now and will order more.”

“Hmmmm!”

‘Wait, will you? I will order the most expensive dish in the restaurant!”

That being said when the staff came to take the order made Purin laugh so much that the occupants of the other table turned and looked too. The speaker could only silently blush. But in the end what he ordered was……

“May I have an order of fried egg with minced meat?”

This was Dear’s favorite food since childhood. After all who doesn’t like fried egg with minced meat?

The luxury car entered the school in front of the famous university in Thailand. While the person inside the car was full because of fried eggs and minced pork, was continuously praising the food he had just consumed. His round eyes scanned the buildings that he should come to tomorrow by 8 o’clock.

“Are you sure that this is the way?”

Purin wanted to be sure because the boy’s university was large and took up an entire area. The most important part was that the Engineering facility did not just take one building but many building that were separately located and worse in different directions.

“Yes. From here we go to the main road. Here here, I’m looking at the map right now.”

The guide immediately said it confidently and lowered his head to look at the map on his phone. His fingers enlarged the map on the screen to see clearly where the building was. They have been driving around three times but still haven’t found it.

“Don’t you remember? You came down for the interview.”

“I was interviewed at the central building P’Porsche. Also I confirmed the enrollment last month and since then I haven’t been back.”

He scratched his head as if he didn’t know what he was looking at in the wrong manner. He looked and looked but still couldn’t find the building. Is it somewhere inside and not on the main campus road?

The boy’s response for that was to stare at the phone as if he wanted to crawl into it and search. Purin parked the car at the side. The person who was trying to search for the building hadn’t lifted their head and kept on muttering the same words.

“Turn left and when you find the intersection turn left again. The building should be at that place.”

“Let me see it a little bit.”

Dear turned and suddenly turned somber and froze. His eyes widened in astonishment. He had simply looked up and had not noticed that Porsche had come closer. His heart almost fell out of his chest. Porsche had brought his face closer only to see the map clearer but even his hand was on the car seat on which Dear was sitting as if he was hugging him. And to add to that when Dear turned his head, his nose accidentally touched Porsche’s cheek too.

The entire car was silent as soon as the lips accidentally touched the rough cheeks. The person who had done that could not help blame the very good car where even the sound of air conditioner blowing was muted making the car deadly quiet. So quiet you could hear the sound of the soft breath of the person who was stiffly sitting there.

I…. smell P’Porsche’s cheek.

The thought made Dear forget even his own spirit. The eyes that were staring into those sharp eyes that were hidden by the darkness inside the car and that made Porsche appear even more handsome that it made Dear almost forget to breathe.

To the point he forgot what he was doing.

“I……P’Porsche….”

The voice that came out was no different from a dreamy voice, breathless. He removed his face first. Purin simply smiled and said.

“What’s wrong? Did you touch my cheek?”

“Uh…. No not at all.”

Dear shook his head vigorously as he looked from side to side with a fierce face.

I’m glad the light isn’t brighter.

You can at least hide his blush before saying weakly. “I’m sorry.”

It was an apology that the listener did not appear to understand. The sharp face gave him a kind smile like before, unchanged.

“What are you apologizing? Dear did not do anything wrong.”

Purin said it before lowering his face to take the younger person’s iPhone to look at the map normally as if the events of the past 2 minutes did not even happen. A low laugh filled the call.

“How did you not notice it Nong? You have been looking at the map upside down.”

Purin said that and handed the phone back to the person next to him.

The owner took it back with pursed lips.

If it was always like this, he could justify his ignorance but that is definitely not going to be now.

Why did his heart tremble so much……

“Umm….. it’s because I’m stupid.”

After saying that he continued to lower his head and looking at his own phone. He was no longer interested in where the school building was when his heart was pounding so hard that he was scared.

He was afraid that his heart would beat so hard that the person next to him would listen.

This world is unfair! Why am I the only one who is shaken up like this? That’s right. I have smelled people before. My mouth has kissed people before. But still it can’t be compared to touching him on the cheek. This world is extremely unfair!

Thinking like that he could only slightly lean over, repeatedly touching his phone so that the silence in the room continued. Meanwhile the person who’s cheek was touched was sitting with dark brows furrowed as if they didn’t understand himself.

What did you think a moment ago Purin? Why did ……….. you want to kiss him?

Purin can only get the thoughts in his heart thinking he’s being too idle. So how can he think such thoughts for a person he consider as a little brother?

It was probably the fried eggs with minced meat.

The morning of the first day of entering the university, many people cannot sleep because of the excitement. But not for Mr Daranapat who dragged his body out of bed with dark circles that needed no more to say that he did not get enough sleep.

The first thing that came to his mind was the incident that happened last night.

“Ahhhhhh! Why did you bring your mouth close to his cheeks??”

Then the person sitting on the bed like a still doll without batteries grabbed his pillow and starting hitting the bed with it. His cheeks were bright red and turned even brighter after remembering the incident which made him bang his head on the pillow too. He started to scold his own self.

Plop

“Are you crazy??”

Plop

“Stop thinking about it.”

Plop

“P’Porsche!! Get out of my head.”

Plop

In the end the body that had just sat up straight fell back down on the bed and started hitting his head on the pillow over and over again. The eyes that stared at the ceiling was thinking back to the last night, the image that had not left his mind. He even remembered the smile of P’Porsche, the smile and how he acted as if nothing had happened.

“It was just an accident. It was just………an accident.”

In the end he only thought that. He immediately stood up on the bed in zombie-like manner and went to pick up the uniform that he had hung after ironing and then moved his feet to the bathroom.

“7.15”

Muttering to himself and estimating the approximate time it will get him to get to the university he walked off. Because finding the building does not mean that he can easily find the classroom.

He held up his toothbrush and squeezed out the toothpaste.

The sound of water running echoed throughout the luxurious bathroom that looked as if it was part of a magazine interior. As Dear brushed his teeth slowly his eyes started even imagining the face of the boy. They say that the day ends after they kiss a companion’s cheek but does it affect so much that they cannot sleep?

“Oooooooy.”

Sighing like he was about to collapse, he lifted the glass and rinsed out his mouth.

Once he was finished with that he prepared to remove the large soccer t-shirt he was wearing.

“Dear!! Hello Dear. Please open the door for me.”

Oh P’Porsche please let me think silently while I shower. Last night I thought so much about what happened I can’t think of anything else anymore.

“Hurry up! It’s burning my eyes!”

Hm?

The words that came out of the knocker’s mouth made the listener confused and he turned to open the door of the bathroom in a curious manner. The vision in front of him made the person who was left sleepless roll his eyes.

“P’Porsche what are you doing?”

“Hey, it’s not funny. I really want to die.”

The scene in front of him made him laugh. Porsche was standing with only a towel around his waist but there was white form that was dripping down his face from his head. Porsche was standing with one eye closed trying to clean the shampoo that was running down his face. His whole body was wet letting the other know that he had been taking a shower himself.

“Move move! Let me wash my hair!”

“Hey!!!!!”

The one who had laughed out loud before yelled out at the other as Porsche pushed him further into the bathroom and entered it himself. His mouth was saying incessantly.

“What the hell. Let me use this bathroom. I ran out of water in the other one while I was showering and now there’s shampoo left on my hair. Let me use this bathroom for a bit….”

While trying to keep one eye open he stepped into the shower which made the person laughing to instantly shut up.

“Yes. You should use it. Then I’ll take a shower later.”

Dear said that and prepared to run out of the room because he felt that the proximity was not good for him but he was grabbed from behind.

“Wait. First help me wash my hair. The shampoo got into both my eye, I can’t open them anymore.”

While saying that Purin held the little boy’s hand tightly not letting him go out the bathroom.

“Oooooy take a shower yourself.”

“Help me first.”

“No I can’t.”

He said it while shaking his head in rejection with a firm tone and even removed that firm grip. Purin held even tighter at first but then sighed and let go.

“I can shower myself but this damn shampoo keeps getting into my eyes.”

It was said very softly while he was struggling to wash out the shampoo from his eyes but it only made his eyes more irritated to the point that tears started to flow down. The long legs struggled to even get inside the shower that the person who was trying to run away felt guilty suddenly.

Don’t pretend that P’Porsche is going to do something to you! He’s only asking for help Dear.

Sigh

“Ok I’ll help you.”

Finally…… while thinking that and holding on to Porsche’s arm he opened the glass door to the shower and got inside with him while trying to console his poor heart that was beating beyond anything. He raised his hand and grabbed the shower head.

“Close your eyes and lower you head.”

He ordered but couldn’t help but feel sorry for the other boy because he was much shorter than Porsche which made him bend a lot for him to wash. But the other person obeyed without any complaints.

“Thank you.”

“Um. If you see my appearance right now you would feel sorry for me.”

As he spoke he sprayed water on to the other person’s head while Purin rubbed it vigorously. The extreme frustration that had built up started to go away. At first it was as if the younger boy was not going to help him but he reached out to help him lather gently.

“Raise your head a bit so I can wash it.”

Purin followed the orders meekly and the younger boy just held his breath while he washed him. Then he slowly brought his fingers near the eyes to wash away the soap there as gently as possible.

If Dear was asked how he felt right now… he would most probably say he was feeling ….. very shy.

“Better?”

The voice had begun to tremble because of the hand that was on the older boy’s face which in turn caused the other to laugh.

“Much better. Wait a bit Dear.”

“Hey! You made me wet too!!”

Dear said that as he stroke his face while his soccer t-shirt had gotten wet and was clinging to his body. The clear voice immediately protested when he saw that.

“Sorry……now I can open my eyes.”

The speaker felt better thus he opened his eyes for the first time since entering the bathroom. The sharp face only shook his head.

Shake

Shake

This time both the person who was holding the shower and the other who had just opened their eyes could only stare at them. The jet of water sprayed the body of the person in front and the towel that Purin had wrapped around him……..fell to the ground.

“Hey…. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.”

Just like that Dear started screaming at the top of his lungs while trying his best not to look at what was revealed early in the morning!

It is definitely a big barrel pistol!!!
