I just not pay much attention to Fuse when I watched it except when he was with Tee (poor Tee :(). So you're not waiting for season 2?:blink:

So I guess this is from when they filmed the cafeteria scene? You know when he pulls Kong in closer to talk to him... Yeah I wish they had edited it differently or something so that the tie grab was noticeable.

And then behind the scenes from the scene where they're talking about the really hard exam right? I saw these pictures a while ago, but thought I'd bring them back up. Krist and Singto are so cute here :wub: Krist what are you doing to your Pi?! 555

Dear friends.

 

another week is passing without Sotus. Actually I started loving this drama the moment I watched it.

and many of you on this thread have given me a lot of happiness.

beautiful eng subs of @delightful, I really enjoy and love them. Really Thank you!:wub:

cute pics and gifs, and movie clips of friends' make me really pleased.:wub:

personally, I think Kongpob a very goal-oriented young man. sometimes his love for Arthit seemed fierce to me.

I feel he is going through his emotional puberty right now so he might make Arthit feel hard at times, I think.....poor Arthit...:sweatingbullets:

But i love him, I am not sure if i  can love somebody like him. I envy him his endless passion for love.

:bawling:I miss Sotus so much.

 

since I am not good at computers, this is my present for you guys. 

this one is the third one, having a lot of grammatical errors and very humble as you can see

but anyhow please enjoy it. 

* first and second attached in it.

 

  Reveal hidden contents

it might happen after the beach scene. Arthit vaguely knows what Kongpob feels for him.

 

Saving Kongpob, Mr.Busybody(1, 2)- if you didn't read them, please open it.

  Reveal hidden contents

scene 1.

 

It was already half past 5 pm when all the classes were over. Arthit ran to the student body‘s office. He was supposed to have a meeting at 5 with Not and Bright but when he entered the office, there was no one.

 

'Where are these assh......forget the meeting?'

 

He called them a few times but not answered. He sighed gazing into space. After waiting for a while, he decided to go out to buy a pink milk and some snacks for dinner.

 

'U....Um......It's Kongpob.'

 

Half way to the canteen feeling hungry, he saw the 0062 sitting on the bench with his head down. Though his face not seen, he seemed seriously occupied with something. He didn't notice Arthit when he just passed by before him. Actually it never happened before to Arthit. It was always Kongpob that first found Arthit, came close to him and talked to him or teased him. He stopped walking and turned his steps toward the 0062.

 

'How dare this 0062 not recognize me.'

 

He stared down at Kongpob still sitting, half in wonder, half in worry. Arthit poked out his lips unconsciously while staring. then, unable to resist, he was about to talk to the 0062. but unfortunately the 0062 said first.

 

"A.....Arthit?"

He stood up rapidly, looking startled.

"Where is your 'P'' before Arthit?"

“.....Sorry, P'Arthit.”

 

Seemingly, Kongpob's pretending to be normal failed this time. Arthit felt something serious in his gloomy-puppy eyes.

 

'If you were a real dog, I would keep you in my room really, 0062.'

 

Arthit always thought this boy's eyes are really something, difficult to read but gentle and smart sometimes so aggressive, anyway attractive....no, not that attractive. Arthit shook his head slightly, blinking fast and asked,

 

"What are you doing here with that dumb face?"

 

Kongpob lightly smiled without answering. It touched Arthit's nerve.

 

"Answer me, Kongpob."

"Well....nothing. you don't need to care about, P'Arthit."

"Who did care?"

 

Arthit talked back right away lifting one eyebrow and asked,

 

"Did you eat anything?"

 

Kongpob just shook his head weakly. He seemed really exhausted.

 

"then....I, I, can buy you di....nner....if you desperately want....some, thing to eat."

 

Arthit 'kindly' suggested him, stammering a little. But,

 

"No. Thank you. P'Arthit."

 

He shortly refused his offer.

 

'No? did you say just no?'

 

Arthit simply ignored Kongpob's saying 'Thank you' in his head.

 

"Why."

".....Just because....I don't want to."

"So Why."

 

He tilted his head up to Kongpob with his arms folded. He even made eye contact with Kongpob to detect what made this 0062 serious. While Arthit doing that, Kongpob could not help smiling and thinking,

 

'This serious face is always cute.'

 

"You really want me to tell the reason, P'Arthit?"

"Not really."

Arthit answered quickly and continued saying.

"but if you want, I can listen to you."

Arthit purposedly looked away with his hands by the sides.

 

"................Okay. then please, let me tell you why, P'Arthit."

"Go on."

 

After a while, Kongpob started explaining to Arthit what had happened.

 

"Aim and I happened to meet Prae at the library this afternoon"

".........."

 

Arthit recalled her face, pretty enough to be The Star of this year. he even got her phone number and picture the other day when she asked for his signature.

 

" She was almost crying.........."

 

Their mood was just good to some extent.

 

"............we went to the bookstore together to look for the book titled......."

 

It was by the time Kongpob almost finished his story.

 

"...............her parents called her when we.........."

 

Arthit's face went stiff but Kongpob didn't know that Arthit wasn't okay.

 

"they said it was not published any more......."

 

He kept saying all obediently to Arthit because he was bit excited that P'Arthit was listening to him, very carefully. Kongpob seemed like a very handsome, submissive pet dog wagging his tail to his owner, Arthit.

 

"........I promised her that I would look for a new reference book."

"Enough. stop there."

 

Arthit interrupted him and gave the cold shoulder, saying,

 

"Playing a hero again? What a busybody."

 

and walked away in the blink of an eye.

 

 

 

 

 

Saving Kongpob, Mr. Busybody (2)

 

 

 

 

''........should I not have talked about it? How come we never meet without your being mad at me, P'? '

 

Kongpob stood hopelessly looking at the door of the dorm building where Arthit had already disappeared. Since coming back from the trip, Kongpob had kept scared that P'Arthit would be more disappointed in him and keep himself far distant from him.

 

'it would take me forever to get one more step closer to you.'

 

It was the first heartbroken experience for Kongpob to be terrified of possibly losing someone he didn't dare to touch a finger on easily and someone he truly wanted to know all about.

 

"Two of us........the parallel lines that never meet each other, P'Arthit."

 

'You all talk but no action. so childish.'

 

"there might be no intersection between us."

 

'This is the last warning. Kongpob. don't try to be a hero.'

 

"always, no exception.....right, P'?"

 

'Go away from my face. There is nothing else to talk about'

 

The stabbing feelings of rejection and hurt swept over Kongpob and he felt his heart scratched here and there by an invisible knife. The more obsessed he became in love with P'Arthit, the more he was driven to despair than ever.

 

 

 

Prae had lost a library book so she tried much to find a replacement. When Aim and he met her at the library, the book had already been two weeks overdue. she seemed terribly panicked. Besides, when they were in the bookstore whose owner told the book had been out of print, she got a urgent call from her parents to come back home as quickly as possible. At that time Prae didn't look stable so Kongpob let Aim take her home first. He himself voluntarily promised her to try his best to find the replacement.

 

"P'Arthit......"

 

Kongpob would like to explain the whole story to make Arthit more understandable but P' stopped him before he could finish it.

 

'if she doesn't return the book by tomorrow, she will get punished by a big fine and the one semester suspension of borrowing books as well.'

 

he called a few more bookstores for checking out if they could get the book. He didn't want to stop his trying, because he totally understood how serious this situation could be to a freshy like her. He thought it could have happened to him.

 

 

 

 

-------

 

 

Arthit dashed back into the room, slamming the door. he lay face down on the bed thinking of how annoying the 0062 had been.

 

'How come you are always meddling in others' affairs?'

 

Giving a handkerchief to a crying girl. Getting signatures instead of his friend.

Passing his name tag to the girl whose name he couldn't remember......

 

Thinking back to, he was a real nuisance.

 

'As I gave all my heart to you, I need some to replace.'

 

He stopped Arthit from having the freshies run 54 rounds as punishment by saying only he himself was given the hearts by the missing freshies that hadn't shown up. What a cheesy man with plenty of guts. But deep down, Arthit was relieved, because he knew that running 54 laps could be too hard for the freshies. So it was like Kongpob saved not only his friends but also the hazers including Arthit.

 

And all of a sudden,

 

''P'Arthit has been running all day long!'

 

Arthit felt his heart beating fast so he had to exhale out deeply for a while.

 

'If you don't stop, I will run with you!'

 

Still hard to breathe, he lay on his back and slowly sighed again. Soon later unable to lay still, he stretched his arms out to the sides, and looked up at the ceiling.

 

'Can't freshmen worry about the 3rd year senior?'

 

To be honest, Arthit felt guilty when Kongpob cried out those words. That night, Kongpob did really seem in pain as if he had run on the track all day long.

 

'What a busybody.....but.....well......That's the way he is.....,'

 

It is undeniable that the 0062 is a man with a warm heart willing to help others. Moreover, Kongpob's proved himself more than competent in all ways.

 

"P'? this is Arth.....ye.....How have you been.....Um......."

 

Arthit sat up on the bed, picked up the cell phone and started making a few calls.

 

"I was wondering if you have the book titled 'XXXXXX.'"

 

He kept talking and talking on the phone.

 

"One of my freshes lost the book borrowed from the library. ye, that kid left it on the bus. it is out of print now. A.....you don't have it."

 

By the time he finished phoning some of his graduating seniors, it was already past 8 pm.

 

"it is a reference book for.....yes....the professor is still using old ones."

 

His mouth became dry and his throat was really sore. his cell phone was too hot to hold.

 

"..........Who....? oh, thank you P'."

 

To his relief, Arthit finally reached a graduate with the book. Fortunately living near the university, the senior told him to drop by his house at any time. When allowed to visit him in one hour, Arthit sprang up from the bed and said a big 'Thank- you' to him with a bright smile. Though forgetting to have dinner, He was filled with sufficient energy but he couldn't explain where it came from. it was totally unexplainable.

 

 

------

 

 

It was almost half past 8 pm when Kongpob saw Arthit again from some distance away. Arthit was a bit restlessly hanging around the bench which Kongpob had sat on.

 

'Why is P'Arthit over there? is he looking for me?....but... no way.'

 

But just his watching P'Arthit's back, a very warm feeling filled his heart briefly and a feeling of despair in him completely disappeared. He realized it again how much he cherished this beautiful human being.

 

Kongpob waited for a while wanting Arthit to notice him but he showed no sign of having seen Kongpob.

 

"P'Arthit......"

 

Kongpob could not help but smile softly, feeling himself like a fool. He felt like flying towards his only sun.

 

"P'Arthit......!"

 

He even liked his own voice calling the name, Arthit.

 

"Kongpob....?"

 

Arthit turned around as Kongpob called out his name. Their eyes met, and the senior's eyes were likely flashing with delight for a second. That gave Kongpob some courage. He finally decided to move close to Arthit. As he carried his motorbike, he just walked towards him pushing his motorbike.

 

"Where have you been, Kongpob?"

"I got back to my room for a shower."

"............."

"........what are you doing here, P'? Are you looking for some....thing?"

 

Kongpob asked him with some anticipation but P'Arthit didn't answer him. Rather, he just continued asking.

 

"Why are you carrying your motorbike."

".............I am....."

"Are you going somewhere?"

".......I am on my way to a bookstore near the school."

 

P'Arthit looked a bit astonished as Kongpob said.

 

"..........Did you find a replacement for the book already?"

"I am not sure but the owner wants me to check some books he found. I've got his call right before."

 

For a few moments there was silence between them.

 

"I think you don't need to go there."

 

It was Arthit who broke the silence first.

 

"................Why not?"

"I......I found the book that belongs to one of the graduating seniors."

"You found the book for me?"

“No. for N'Prae.”

 

His answer came very quickly and there was another silence coming.

 

"....,,,.I see. of course I guessed so."

 

This time Kongpob broke the silence first but his face clouded with a mild disappointment.

 

 

Saving Kongpob, Mr. Busybody (3)

 

 

"Don't get me wrong. I just did what the seniors should do."

".........."

"I helped this time for N'Prae, but there will be no second time."

".........."

"And you, Kongpob. Never step forward if you are not ready."

".........."

"You got me?"

 

No words were spoken by Kongpob while Arthit was warning him. Only his darkened eyes did the talking, 'I am hurt'. That pushed Arthit's guilt button inside him but he ignored it.

 

"I will inform her that a senior working at the library is going to deal with it."

"...........She is not available now."

"it doesn't matter. I can text her."

 

Kongpob turned pale in a second as he said.

 

"..........Do you have her phone number?"

 

It suddenly occurred to him that P' Arthit hadn't had his phone number before the trip to the beach.

 

"Don't stare at me like that. It is not strange for a senior to have a freshy girl's number."

 

Arthit talked back in a firm tone, but only to be a little shamefaced. As a matter of fact, he was a bit interested in her when he got her number. but now?

 

'Absolutely not at all. I can swear it to you. Wait, wait. what am I thinking of?'

 

"Have you kept Prae's number all this time? Since when?"

 

Kongpob's burning, accusing eyes stabbed straight into Arthit's heart.

 

"It's none of your business."

 

His insensitive response made Kongpob more furious than ever. Something seemed to hit Kongpob's head very hard. His blood suddenly started running quite fast in his veins. He clenched his fists at the same time.

 

"I didn't know that you just like going after pretty girls."

“What do you mean by that.”

"Now I have to say you enjoy singing before girls and taking pictures with them, because they are attractive enough to make you smile, am I right?"

"Don't forget I am your senior not your friend!"

"Then, What about me! am I also pretty handsome, huh? As you know, no, As you had me shout it aloud, I like men! so, Are you going to be my boyfriend?"

"Watch out your tongue, or I will beat your brains out! You f**g bastard!"

 

Though Arthit regretted insulting him, there was no way to fix it.

 

"...........huh, yes, you right. please do so, sir."

 

Arthit turned away trying to avoid his aimless gaze.

 

"...........let's stop here."

 

Before long only one sentence came out of Arthit's mouth.

 

"........."

 

He decided to leave Kongpob right away. Soon, he didn't say anything but started walking away from Kongpob. But when he took just a few steps away, A strong hand grasped Arthit's arm and turned him back abruptly. Arthit was really upset this time, so he glared at Kongpob, full of hate. Kongpob's eyes are also burning like fire.

 

"What the hell are you doing?"

"Where are you going."

 

Kongpob even dropped his voice down, and it sounded cold enough for Arthit to cringe with a bit fear.

 

"I warn you. let go of me, Kongpob."

"I asked you where you go."

 

Arthit tried again to shake off his strong grip, not answering but he soon gave in to him.

 

"........senior's house to get.....the book."

 

As soon as he answered, Kongpob dragged him back to where his motorbike was.

 

"then let me give you a ride there."

"No. I don't wan....."

"You said"

 

Kongpob interrupted Arthit rudely not to say further.

 

"Never step forward if I am not ready."

"........."

"And now I am ready to take you there."

"Kongpob!"

"You did what the seniors should do, so I will do what the juniors can do."

"You."

"It's all for Prae. Both of us, right?"

"......."

"For her. Let me do what I should do."

"Were you born to make me upset, kid?"

"Whatever."

"What the f**k are you doing?"

"Ride on, Sir."

 

Kongpob rode on his motorbike first and grabbed the handlebars tightly. Arthit couldn't adapt himself to this wired situation because Kongpob rarely lost control of himself as far as Arthit knew him. But just now, Kongpob made him confused and worried as well. To Arthit, He seemed like not only a rebellious high-schooler but also a little kid holding tears back.

 

'Did I hurt his pride?'

 

Arthit had no idea of what made this man rude and crazy. Kongpob was no longer his usual self.

 

'Why do I feel guilty even though I did nothing wrong? Why do I feel I should soothe this trouble maker? Am I finally crazy? is his craziness contagious?'

 

Arthit frowned and stroke his hair roughly. He rubbed his face with a heavy sigh and then placed his hands by his sides, saying,

 

"Look at me, Kongpob."

 

but the rebellious soul did the opposite. He lowered his head and looked down on the ground. Soon later, He murmured to Arthit very weakly.

 

".......I am sorry, P'."

 

Arthit could hear what he said exactly. He felt both relief and anger. Chances are, it was Relief that he seemed okay, back to normal and Anger that Kongpob did something regrettable again.

 

'Why am I riding on the emotional roller-coaster whenever being with this guy......But, Why does my anger towards him disappear this fast?'

 

He let out a little laugh, shaking his head. at that moment, something came to his mind.

 

"0062, Kongpob."

 

'Why do I not hate any more the way he talks to me, even he is extremely rude, arrogant and troublesome to me....huh?'

 

"Give your hand to me."

 

At first, Kongpob did hesitate to do it until Arthit forced him, saying, "Are you against me again?" When he held out his hand and opened it, Arthit placed some chocolate candies on Kongpob's palm.

 

"You need some sweets to calm yourself down, Kongpob."

 

'Why do I not want to see him suffer.....?S**t, Nothing makes sense.'

 

"and me too."

 

Arthit took some more candies out of his jeans pocket and ate one. Actually He had carried them for Kongpob since he might not have eaten anything.

 

"you have not eaten anything yet, have you?"

".......No."

"do eat some more."

"I.....I am really sorry, P', I, I didn't mean it. I......"

"now I am ordering you to shut up and just eat them, Kongpob.

"........."

"Start."

 

Finally, the obedient young man came back. He ate all of them Arthit gave to him.

His face became a bit brighter than right before.

 

"Kongpob, You can provide a ride for me but."

"............."

 

the sparkling puppy eyes kept looking at his owner with innocent loyalty. This time he looked truly ready for what he was told to do.

 

"I will drive this bike and you ride behind me."

"..........Can you drive it?"

"Do you doubt me?"

"No, P'Arthit...."

 

In the end, his name was called by the 0062. Arthit didn't realize he put a very soft smile on his face.

 

"Now that this is a bit small for two of us, hold on me tight. is it Okay?"

"........Can I ?"

 

Arthit just gave him a hand signal to move back. In Arthit riding on the front of the bike, Kongpob just sat behind him. There came an awkward silence for a moment. Kongpob just hold on to the bottom of Arthit's shirt, shaking his hands like a shy country boy.

 

"Kongpob, you want to fall off the bike?"

"No, P'Arthit."

"I told you to hold me tight."

"............then, excuse me."

 

After given P's re-confirm, He carefully circled his arms around Arthit's waist behind him. He tried to tighten his stomach and chest muscles, as being afraid of accidently touching Arthit's back. He intended to reduce any unnecessary physical contact, possibly bothering Arthit.

 

"no helmets, Kongpob?"

"......I didn't bring it."

"Ok, let's go."

 

It was the first ride for Kongpob to sit behind someone he liked secretly.

 

"P'Arthit, please don't be nervous. you stiffen too much now!"

"shut up. let me focus on driving!"

 

He had never yielded his front seat to anybody else before, even to Aim, the best friend from childhood.

 

"Kongpob!"

"Yes!"

"Are you Okay?"

"Yes, P'!"

"Don't be afraid, I will take you there safely!"

"...........P'! Just go on, I believe you!"

 

The bike driven by Arthit was about to lose its balance.

 

"Kongpob!"

"Yes!"

".........What about changing the seat?"

"........Keep going P'!"

 

Just being with his beautiful sun, Kongpob felt more safe and warm than nervous.

can this be able to finish?

I am doomed......

I wish my writing in English makes you understand what i really talk about.

1. I totally agree with everybody about the kiss scenes. The actors are older, the show has a high rating, so if they pull some fake kissing scenes I'm gonna be mad. I don't like kiss scenes in Asian dramas generally cause it's either the fake one, the cut away, or the WORST- lips touching but not moving for an awkwardly long amount of time. Those are the ones with the highest cringe factor for me!! Unfortunately, my experience of dramas has taught me to not be optimistic.... :( please SOTUS prove me wrong. 

2. I am highly disturbed by the kind of rape to Stockholm syndrome type narrative that is so prevalent in Asia. But actually it existed in Western culture too where in like 90% of romance novels from the 80s the main guy raped the heroine. But I feel like especially in Chinese BL, there's always a rape scene. I see it in Japanese shows too where there's also resistance from the bottom whether girl or guy and they always say no, no, etc. I think a lot of these scenes come from a bigger social issue around women (inclusive of all genders who assume the "feminine" role) and purity. The fact of the matter is that sexual modesty/purity is still seen as a "good" quality for females/femininity, whereas openly wanting/engaging in sex is seen as "slutty" and therefore "bad", so I think a lot of these rape scenes come from a place of trying to protect the heroine's "good/moral" character.

(sorry for the long richard simmons post, just wanted to share my thoughts on the issue cause I think it's a serious one.)

I couldn't agree more. I don't know why women wanting sex is a bad thing.  It's only natural for a human body to have such desires, it's part of reproduction. If women has to be forced into sex all the time then we are saying all of us are born from your own mothers being raped. It's so sad. I like to think that we are all born out of love, society needs to change and accept that females have the same desires as men too. It's always been that way in history. In Thai history men can have many wives at one time, but if a woman decides to have more than one sex partner then she is shamed and kicked out of the house. That is one reason why I stay away from Thai historical dramas. I don't know if you guys have seen Jan Dara, but that family structure was widespread with wealthy/royal men back in Thai's history. It's rather disgusting in my opinion.

oh madam... are you deliberately feeding into my fantasy? :phew: happy camper here, thanks again for throwing in again that lifeline...:wub:  *archived*

  Hide contents

sadly and ironically (and on personal reality check) though... it reminds me of Krist's similar line in his IG post, but in direct reference to his 'shadow' -  which had me in active filter mode from the get-go as far as K+S real life partnership...

Hence for my current FF-line, it's either Singto got hit big-time with Krist (but just contain it all to himself) or with someone else (of which I hope will be more reciprocal for his sake)... 

 

I think Singto and Apple dating????

OMG I agree with you so much : a guy talking about his sex life or having a lot of partners will be call a Casanova or a seducer, but a girl in the same situation will be call a sl!t or whatever, like, she can't have sex a lot but guys can ? dafuq with the sexism --'

I couldn't agree more. I don't know why women wanting sex is a bad thing.  It's only natural for a human body to have such desires, it's part of reproduction. If women has to be forced into sex all the time then we are saying all of us are born from your own mothers being raped. It's so sad. I like to think that we are all born out of love, society needs to change and accept that females have the same desires as men too. It's always been that way in history. In Thai history men can have many wives at one time, but if a woman decides to have more than one sex partner then she is shamed and kicked out of the house. That is one reason why I stay away from Thai historical dramas. I don't know if you guys have seen Jan Dara, but that family structure was widespread with wealthy/royal men back in Thai's history. It's rather disgusting in my opinion.

 

Of course women have the same biological desires and needs as men but it's not a matter of physiology but a matter of ownership. Since time immemorial patriarchy have robbed women of the ownership of their own bodies, women are property to be owned by men and a part of human nature is to be possessive over your own things. Men own their bodies and as such have the freedom to sleep with as many or few people as they want without recrimination, but women can only express sexuality in relation to pleasing/serving a man, sex on their own terms is a freedom for women and a form of release from the power of men. That's why patriarchal society must undermine sexual liberation of women by any means - s.l.u.t. shaming (and sadly a lot of women take part in their own repression) as example - because it's an expression of their own free will and taking back control of our bodies, minds and lives from men. 

tldr: sexual repression of women and s.l.u.t shaming is a tool used by patriarchal society to control women. s.l.u.t. shaming is bad, let's not do it to ourselves and others. viva la revolution.

Okay, so you guys know the rules. Do NOT upload/share/translate my translations of the novel. Trust me, you really don't want to break this rule. <-- to new downloaders. ^_^

SOTUS the novel : Chapter 3 :  https://mega.nz/#!7M8mmJLQ!AnoBH2cdN3XuicDPTHJlN0e4L2wCY2iMLIm871nbtzk

And sorry for the long wait.. most of you guys/gals knew I was sick. :tears: I feel a lot better now... my cough has gotten very few thanks to the meds, but when the meds wear out I still can't focus until my next dosage. So hopefully I can recover and get the next chapter out soon. I am aiming to get at least 2 chapters out by next Friday, but please don't quote me on it. I kind of want to catch up to the series before it comes back on air. But I feel like I would need to release a chapter a day. My fingers will get really tired if I did that... plus my already mistreated friends will come hunt me down. I'll try my best, hope you guys/gals all understand. :P

Dear friends.

 

another week is passing without Sotus. Actually I started loving this drama the moment I watched it.

and many of you on this thread have given me a lot of happiness.

beautiful eng subs of @delightful, I really enjoy and love them. Really Thank you!:wub:

cute pics and gifs, and movie clips of friends' make me really pleased.:wub:

personally, I think Kongpob a very goal-oriented young man. sometimes his love for Arthit seemed fierce to me.

I feel he is going through his emotional puberty right now so he might make Arthit feel hard at times, I think.....poor Arthit...:sweatingbullets:

But i love him, I am not sure if i  can love somebody like him. I envy him his endless passion for love.

:bawling:I miss Sotus so much.

 

since I am not good at computers, this is my present for you guys. 

this one is the third one, having a lot of grammatical errors and very humble as you can see

but anyhow please enjoy it. 

* first and second attached in it.

it might happen after the beach scene. Arthit vaguely knows what Kongpob feels for him.

 

Saving Kongpob, Mr.Busybody(1, 2)- if you didn't read them, please open it.

  Reveal hidden contents

scene 1.

 

It was already half past 5 pm when all the classes were over. Arthit ran to the student body‘s office. He was supposed to have a meeting at 5 with Not and Bright but when he entered the office, there was no one.

 

'Where are these assh......forget the meeting?'

 

He called them a few times but not answered. He sighed gazing into space. After waiting for a while, he decided to go out to buy a pink milk and some snacks for dinner.

 

'U....Um......It's Kongpob.'

 

Half way to the canteen feeling hungry, he saw the 0062 sitting on the bench with his head down. Though his face not seen, he seemed seriously occupied with something. He didn't notice Arthit when he just passed by before him. Actually it never happened before to Arthit. It was always Kongpob that first found Arthit, came close to him and talked to him or teased him. He stopped walking and turned his steps toward the 0062.

 

'How dare this 0062 not recognize me.'

 

He stared down at Kongpob still sitting, half in wonder, half in worry. Arthit poked out his lips unconsciously while staring. then, unable to resist, he was about to talk to the 0062. but unfortunately the 0062 said first.

 

"A.....Arthit?"

He stood up rapidly, looking startled.

"Where is your 'P'' before Arthit?"

“.....Sorry, P'Arthit.”

 

Seemingly, Kongpob's pretending to be normal failed this time. Arthit felt something serious in his gloomy-puppy eyes.

 

'If you were a real dog, I would keep you in my room really, 0062.'

 

Arthit always thought this boy's eyes are really something, difficult to read but gentle and smart sometimes so aggressive, anyway attractive....no, not that attractive. Arthit shook his head slightly, blinking fast and asked,

 

"What are you doing here with that dumb face?"

 

Kongpob lightly smiled without answering. It touched Arthit's nerve.

 

"Answer me, Kongpob."

"Well....nothing. you don't need to care about, P'Arthit."

"Who did care?"

 

Arthit talked back right away lifting one eyebrow and asked,

 

"Did you eat anything?"

 

Kongpob just shook his head weakly. He seemed really exhausted.

 

"then....I, I, can buy you di....nner....if you desperately want....some, thing to eat."

 

Arthit 'kindly' suggested him, stammering a little. But,

 

"No. Thank you. P'Arthit."

 

He shortly refused his offer.

 

'No? did you say just no?'

 

Arthit simply ignored Kongpob's saying 'Thank you' in his head.

 

"Why."

".....Just because....I don't want to."

"So Why."

 

He tilted his head up to Kongpob with his arms folded. He even made eye contact with Kongpob to detect what made this 0062 serious. While Arthit doing that, Kongpob could not help smiling and thinking,

 

'This serious face is always cute.'

 

"You really want me to tell the reason, P'Arthit?"

"Not really."

Arthit answered quickly and continued saying.

"but if you want, I can listen to you."

Arthit purposedly looked away with his hands by the sides.

 

"................Okay. then please, let me tell you why, P'Arthit."

"Go on."

 

After a while, Kongpob started explaining to Arthit what had happened.

 

"Aim and I happened to meet Prae at the library this afternoon"

".........."

 

Arthit recalled her face, pretty enough to be The Star of this year. he even got her phone number and picture the other day when she asked for his signature.

 

" She was almost crying.........."

 

Their mood was just good to some extent.

 

"............we went to the bookstore together to look for the book titled......."

 

It was by the time Kongpob almost finished his story.

 

"...............her parents called her when we.........."

 

Arthit's face went stiff but Kongpob didn't know that Arthit wasn't okay.

 

"they said it was not published any more......."

 

He kept saying all obediently to Arthit because he was bit excited that P'Arthit was listening to him, very carefully. Kongpob seemed like a very handsome, submissive pet dog wagging his tail to his owner, Arthit.

 

"........I promised her that I would look for a new reference book."

"Enough. stop there."

 

Arthit interrupted him and gave the cold shoulder, saying,

 

"Playing a hero again? What a busybody."

 

and walked away in the blink of an eye.

 

 

 

 

 

Saving Kongpob, Mr. Busybody (2)

 

 

 

 

''........should I not have talked about it? How come we never meet without your being mad at me, P'? '

 

Kongpob stood hopelessly looking at the door of the dorm building where Arthit had already disappeared. Since coming back from the trip, Kongpob had kept scared that P'Arthit would be more disappointed in him and keep himself far distant from him.

 

'it would take me forever to get one more step closer to you.'

 

It was the first heartbroken experience for Kongpob to be terrified of possibly losing someone he didn't dare to touch a finger on easily and someone he truly wanted to know all about.

 

"Two of us........the parallel lines that never meet each other, P'Arthit."

 

'You all talk but no action. so childish.'

 

"there might be no intersection between us."

 

'This is the last warning. Kongpob. don't try to be a hero.'

 

"always, no exception.....right, P'?"

 

'Go away from my face. There is nothing else to talk about'

 

The stabbing feelings of rejection and hurt swept over Kongpob and he felt his heart scratched here and there by an invisible knife. The more obsessed he became in love with P'Arthit, the more he was driven to despair than ever.

 

 

 

Prae had lost a library book so she tried much to find a replacement. When Aim and he met her at the library, the book had already been two weeks overdue. she seemed terribly panicked. Besides, when they were in the bookstore whose owner told the book had been out of print, she got a urgent call from her parents to come back home as quickly as possible. At that time Prae didn't look stable so Kongpob let Aim take her home first. He himself voluntarily promised her to try his best to find the replacement.

 

"P'Arthit......"

 

Kongpob would like to explain the whole story to make Arthit more understandable but P' stopped him before he could finish it.

 

'if she doesn't return the book by tomorrow, she will get punished by a big fine and the one semester suspension of borrowing books as well.'

 

he called a few more bookstores for checking out if they could get the book. He didn't want to stop his trying, because he totally understood how serious this situation could be to a freshy like her. He thought it could have happened to him.

 

 

 

 

-------

 

 

Arthit dashed back into the room, slamming the door. he lay face down on the bed thinking of how annoying the 0062 had been.

 

'How come you are always meddling in others' affairs?'

 

Giving a handkerchief to a crying girl. Getting signatures instead of his friend.

Passing his name tag to the girl whose name he couldn't remember......

 

Thinking back to, he was a real nuisance.

 

'As I gave all my heart to you, I need some to replace.'

 

He stopped Arthit from having the freshies run 54 rounds as punishment by saying only he himself was given the hearts by the missing freshies that hadn't shown up. What a cheesy man with plenty of guts. But deep down, Arthit was relieved, because he knew that running 54 laps could be too hard for the freshies. So it was like Kongpob saved not only his friends but also the hazers including Arthit.

 

And all of a sudden,

 

''P'Arthit has been running all day long!'

 

Arthit felt his heart beating fast so he had to exhale out deeply for a while.

 

'If you don't stop, I will run with you!'

 

Still hard to breathe, he lay on his back and slowly sighed again. Soon later unable to lay still, he stretched his arms out to the sides, and looked up at the ceiling.

 

'Can't freshmen worry about the 3rd year senior?'

 

To be honest, Arthit felt guilty when Kongpob cried out those words. That night, Kongpob did really seem in pain as if he had run on the track all day long.

 

'What a busybody.....but.....well......That's the way he is.....,'

 

It is undeniable that the 0062 is a man with a warm heart willing to help others. Moreover, Kongpob's proved himself more than competent in all ways.

 

"P'? this is Arth.....ye.....How have you been.....Um......."

 

Arthit sat up on the bed, picked up the cell phone and started making a few calls.

 

"I was wondering if you have the book titled 'XXXXXX.'"

 

He kept talking and talking on the phone.

 

"One of my freshes lost the book borrowed from the library. ye, that kid left it on the bus. it is out of print now. A.....you don't have it."

 

By the time he finished phoning some of his graduating seniors, it was already past 8 pm.

 

"it is a reference book for.....yes....the professor is still using old ones."

 

His mouth became dry and his throat was really sore. his cell phone was too hot to hold.

 

"..........Who....? oh, thank you P'."

 

To his relief, Arthit finally reached a graduate with the book. Fortunately living near the university, the senior told him to drop by his house at any time. When allowed to visit him in one hour, Arthit sprang up from the bed and said a big 'Thank- you' to him with a bright smile. Though forgetting to have dinner, He was filled with sufficient energy but he couldn't explain where it came from. it was totally unexplainable.

 

 

------

 

 

It was almost half past 8 pm when Kongpob saw Arthit again from some distance away. Arthit was a bit restlessly hanging around the bench which Kongpob had sat on.

 

'Why is P'Arthit over there? is he looking for me?....but... no way.'

 

But just his watching P'Arthit's back, a very warm feeling filled his heart briefly and a feeling of despair in him completely disappeared. He realized it again how much he cherished this beautiful human being.

 

Kongpob waited for a while wanting Arthit to notice him but he showed no sign of having seen Kongpob.

 

"P'Arthit......"

 

Kongpob could not help but smile softly, feeling himself like a fool. He felt like flying towards his only sun.

 

"P'Arthit......!"

 

He even liked his own voice calling the name, Arthit.

 

"Kongpob....?"

 

Arthit turned around as Kongpob called out his name. Their eyes met, and the senior's eyes were likely flashing with delight for a second. That gave Kongpob some courage. He finally decided to move close to Arthit. As he carried his motorbike, he just walked towards him pushing his motorbike.

 

"Where have you been, Kongpob?"

"I got back to my room for a shower."

"............."

"........what are you doing here, P'? Are you looking for some....thing?"

 

Kongpob asked him with some anticipation but P'Arthit didn't answer him. Rather, he just continued asking.

 

"Why are you carrying your motorbike."

".............I am....."

"Are you going somewhere?"

".......I am on my way to a bookstore near the school."

 

P'Arthit looked a bit astonished as Kongpob said.

 

"..........Did you find a replacement for the book already?"

"I am not sure but the owner wants me to check some books he found. I've got his call right before."

 

For a few moments there was silence between them.

 

"I think you don't need to go there."

 

It was Arthit who broke the silence first.

 

"................Why not?"

"I......I found the book that belongs to one of the graduating seniors."

"You found the book for me?"

“No. for N'Prae.”

 

His answer came very quickly and there was another silence coming.

 

"....,,,.I see. of course I guessed so."

 

This time Kongpob broke the silence first but his face clouded with a mild disappointment.

 

 

Saving Kongpob, Mr. Busybody (3)

 

 

"Don't get me wrong. I just did what the seniors should do."

".........."

"I helped this time for N'Prae, but there will be no second time."

".........."

"And you, Kongpob. Never step forward if you are not ready."

".........."

"You got me?"

 

No words were spoken by Kongpob while Arthit was warning him. Only his darkened eyes did the talking, 'I am hurt'. That pushed Arthit's guilt button inside him but he ignored it.

 

"I will inform her that a senior working at the library is going to deal with it."

"...........She is not available now."

"it doesn't matter. I can text her."

 

Kongpob turned pale in a second as he said.

 

"..........Do you have her phone number?"

 

It suddenly occurred to him that P' Arthit hadn't had his phone number before the trip to the beach.

 

"Don't stare at me like that. It is not strange for a senior to have a freshy girl's number."

 

Arthit talked back in a firm tone, but only to be a little shamefaced. As a matter of fact, he was a bit interested in her when he got her number. but now?

 

'Absolutely not at all. I can swear it to you. Wait, wait. what am I thinking of?'

 

"Have you kept Prae's number all this time? Since when?"

 

Kongpob's burning, accusing eyes stabbed straight into Arthit's heart.

 

"It's none of your business."

 

His insensitive response made Kongpob more furious than ever. Something seemed to hit Kongpob's head very hard. His blood suddenly started running quite fast in his veins. He clenched his fists at the same time.

 

"I didn't know that you just like going after pretty girls."

“What do you mean by that.”

"Now I have to say you enjoy singing before girls and taking pictures with them, because they are attractive enough to make you smile, am I right?"

"Don't forget I am your senior not your friend!"

"Then, What about me! am I also pretty handsome, huh? As you know, no, As you had me shout it aloud, I like men! so, Are you going to be my boyfriend?"

"Watch out your tongue, or I will beat your brains out! You f**g bastard!"

 

Though Arthit regretted insulting him, there was no way to fix it.

 

"...........huh, yes, you right. please do so, sir."

 

Arthit turned away trying to avoid his aimless gaze.

 

"...........let's stop here."

 

Before long only one sentence came out of Arthit's mouth.

 

"........."

 

He decided to leave Kongpob right away. Soon, he didn't say anything but started walking away from Kongpob. But when he took just a few steps away, A strong hand grasped Arthit's arm and turned him back abruptly. Arthit was really upset this time, so he glared at Kongpob, full of hate. Kongpob's eyes are also burning like fire.

 

"What the hell are you doing?"

"Where are you going."

 

Kongpob even dropped his voice down, and it sounded cold enough for Arthit to cringe with a bit fear.

 

"I warn you. let go of me, Kongpob."

"I asked you where you go."

 

Arthit tried again to shake off his strong grip, not answering but he soon gave in to him.

 

"........senior's house to get.....the book."

 

As soon as he answered, Kongpob dragged him back to where his motorbike was.

 

"then let me give you a ride there."

"No. I don't wan....."

"You said"

 

Kongpob interrupted Arthit rudely not to say further.

 

"Never step forward if I am not ready."

"........."

"And now I am ready to take you there."

"Kongpob!"

"You did what the seniors should do, so I will do what the juniors can do."

"You."

"It's all for Prae. Both of us, right?"

"......."

"For her. Let me do what I should do."

"Were you born to make me upset, kid?"

"Whatever."

"What the f**k are you doing?"

"Ride on, Sir."

 

Kongpob rode on his motorbike first and grabbed the handlebars tightly. Arthit couldn't adapt himself to this wired situation because Kongpob rarely lost control of himself as far as Arthit knew him. But just now, Kongpob made him confused and worried as well. To Arthit, He seemed like not only a rebellious high-schooler but also a little kid holding tears back.

 

'Did I hurt his pride?'

 

Arthit had no idea of what made this man rude and crazy. Kongpob was no longer his usual self.

 

'Why do I feel guilty even though I did nothing wrong? Why do I feel I should soothe this trouble maker? Am I finally crazy? is his craziness contagious?'

 

Arthit frowned and stroke his hair roughly. He rubbed his face with a heavy sigh and then placed his hands by his sides, saying,

 

"Look at me, Kongpob."

 

but the rebellious soul did the opposite. He lowered his head and looked down on the ground. Soon later, He murmured to Arthit very weakly.

 

".......I am sorry, P'."

 

Arthit could hear what he said exactly. He felt both relief and anger. Chances are, it was Relief that he seemed okay, back to normal and Anger that Kongpob did something regrettable again.

 

'Why am I riding on the emotional roller-coaster whenever being with this guy......But, Why does my anger towards him disappear this fast?'

 

He let out a little laugh, shaking his head. at that moment, something came to his mind.

 

"0062, Kongpob."

 

'Why do I not hate any more the way he talks to me, even he is extremely rude, arrogant and troublesome to me....huh?'

 

"Give your hand to me."

 

At first, Kongpob did hesitate to do it until Arthit forced him, saying, "Are you against me again?" When he held out his hand and opened it, Arthit placed some chocolate candies on Kongpob's palm.

 

"You need some sweets to calm yourself down, Kongpob."

 

'Why do I not want to see him suffer.....?S**t, Nothing makes sense.'

 

"and me too."

 

Arthit took some more candies out of his jeans pocket and ate one. Actually He had carried them for Kongpob since he might not have eaten anything.

 

"you have not eaten anything yet, have you?"

".......No."

"do eat some more."

"I.....I am really sorry, P', I, I didn't mean it. I......"

"now I am ordering you to shut up and just eat them, Kongpob.

"........."

"Start."

 

Finally, the obedient young man came back. He ate all of them Arthit gave to him.

His face became a bit brighter than right before.

 

"Kongpob, You can provide a ride for me but."

"............."

 

the sparkling puppy eyes kept looking at his owner with innocent loyalty. This time he looked truly ready for what he was told to do.

 

"I will drive this bike and you ride behind me."

"..........Can you drive it?"

"Do you doubt me?"

"No, P'Arthit...."

 

In the end, his name was called by the 0062. Arthit didn't realize he put a very soft smile on his face.

 

"Now that this is a bit small for two of us, hold on me tight. is it Okay?"

"........Can I ?"

 

Arthit just gave him a hand signal to move back. In Arthit riding on the front of the bike, Kongpob just sat behind him. There came an awkward silence for a moment. Kongpob just hold on to the bottom of Arthit's shirt, shaking his hands like a shy country boy.

 

"Kongpob, you want to fall off the bike?"

"No, P'Arthit."

"I told you to hold me tight."

"............then, excuse me."

 

After given P's re-confirm, He carefully circled his arms around Arthit's waist behind him. He tried to tighten his stomach and chest muscles, as being afraid of accidently touching Arthit's back. He intended to reduce any unnecessary physical contact, possibly bothering Arthit.

 

"no helmets, Kongpob?"

"......I didn't bring it."

"Ok, let's go."

 

It was the first ride for Kongpob to sit behind someone he liked secretly.

 

"P'Arthit, please don't be nervous. you stiffen too much now!"

"shut up. let me focus on driving!"

 

He had never yielded his front seat to anybody else before, even to Aim, the best friend from childhood.

 

"Kongpob!"

"Yes!"

"Are you Okay?"

"Yes, P'!"

"Don't be afraid, I will take you there safely!"

"...........P'! Just go on, I believe you!"

 

The bike driven by Arthit was about to lose its balance.

 

"Kongpob!"

"Yes!"

".........What about changing the seat?"

"........Keep going P'!"

 

Just being with his beautiful sun, Kongpob felt more safe and warm than nervous.
