P.Panli: It should take about 30 minutes to reach your condo.
glaijai: Puppy, don't ride too fast.
P.Panli: ok ka
The phone was placed on the desk after reading the message from the puppy. The owner of the sweet smile got up from the chair to bring the cactus from the balcony into the room after both cacti had enough sunlight during the day. The tiny plants were placed back on the desk in their original positions.
Glai looked at the cactus pot decorated with a crescent moon design and then broke into a wide smile. However, the vibrating phone notification drew his attention away from his beloved plants. The slender hand picked up the phone, and the name displayed on the glass screen made him answer without hesitation.
"What's up, Pie?"
[Glai... I'm calling to let you know I've booked the presentation rehearsal room!]
Glai sighed in relief because he was worried all the library workrooms would be fully booked.
"Hearing that is such a relief."
[Same here, it was nerve-wracking... I've booked it for 3 PM.]
"Got it... Do you want me to inform the group chat with New?"
[No need, May will handle it.]
"Alright then."
[That's all I needed... Too lazy to type, so I called instead.]
Glai chuckled lightly before responding, "You probably led the aerobics session for the grandparents in the village today, didn't you? That's why you're so tired and too lazy to type."
[Yeah... exhausted, but it was fun.]
"Alright... Go get some rest, then."
[Sure... see you tomorrow.]
"Okay."
Glai hung up the call with his close friend but didn't place the phone back on the desk as usual. After ending the call with Pai, he remembered something and thought he should seek advice from his three close friends.
"To Pie, May, and Gun, even though they don't have much experience with love...they might have some good advice," he mumbled softly to himself before pondering deeply. "... It's better to think together than alone."
Having decided, Glai swiped the screen to open the LINE app and created a group named 'Mission (Help Glai) Conquer Khun Prachan's Heart.' He invited Gun, May, and Pie to join the group. Glai looked at the group name again before shaking his head, intending to change it to avoid being teased by his friends. However, the incoming messages made him realize...It was too late.
GunHere : I like the group name.
GunHere : No need to ask why this group was created.
No need to change the group name anymore...
Ppie: I was about to sleep.
Ppie: Now I'm wide awake.
MaMay: What—
MaMay: Didn't you say this morning that you confessed already?
MaMay: So, why do you still need to conquer his heart, GlaiJai?
MaMay: Didn't Panlee already give you his whole heart?
Glai wasn't sure if he had made the right decision because it felt like he created the LINE group only to be teased by his friends until he died of embarrassment. But after thinking it through, he decided it wasn't wrong to create the group. The mistake was just choosing the wrong name. It was true, as May said—he had already conquered Khun Prachan's heart. Shaking his head, Glai reflected on himself... What was I thinking when I came up with that name?
glaijai: Let me change the group name for a bit.
GunHere : Hey! Don't change it.
GunHere : I like it.
GunHere : Anyone else like it? Plus one.
Ppie: +3 right away.
MaMay: +1.
GunHere : The results are unanimous. But wouldn't you want to add your vote?
Glai smiled and then typed on the keyboard.
glaijai: +1000.
Ppie: Whoa, a thousand votes?
MaMay: 55555.
glaijai: For Panlee...
GunHere : I'm taking a break to handle my embarrassment.
Ppie: Same ja @GunHere.
MaMay: I'll stay close and keep you company.
GunHere : Once the feelings are mutual, just go all out, huh?
Glai smiled as he looked at the messages on the glass screen. When he called to share the story of confessing his love to Panlee with his three close friends, Glai thought that during the time he was secretly watching Khun Prachan from afar, his friends always cheered him on. Now that he was beside his moon, they all deserved to know the story.
glaijai: So...
glaijai: Where do I even begin?
Ppie: Ready to give advice.
Ppie: Even though this Pie has never had a boyfriend.
MaMay: Oh, Pieeee 5555.
GunHere: Don't even mention Pie, I'm the same.
Glaijai: At least MaMay has had a boyfriend before.
MaMay: My last boyfriend was when I was in 11th grade.
GunHere: 55555 This is bad, Glaijai.
Glaijai: It's not bad at all.
Glaijai: I don't need someone with lots of experience for something like this.
Glaijai: I just want a little bit of advice.
GunHere: What kind of advice do you want?
Ppie: So curious.
MaMay: Really curious.
MaMay: I'm worried about a fast-moving friend.
Glaijai: May!
GunHere: 5555 It's embarrassing.
Glaijai: It's not as far as everyone is thinking.
Glaijai: sent a sticker
Glai sent a sticker of a grumpy, arms-crossed bunny to his three close friends. They all responded with laughing character stickers. He couldn't believe how teasing his friends could be.
Ppie: Stop teasing Glai already.
Ppie: Just say what it is, Glai. We're ready.
Ppie: (Even though I have no experience, I promise to Google for answers.)
The latest message from Pie made Glai feel a headache before he burst into laughter at the effort of someone with no experience, who was still ready to help.
Glaijai: So, Panlee is coming to see me at my condo.
Glaijai: I wanted to ask for advice on what activities to do besides just sitting and chatting, watching movies, or listening to music.
Glaijai: I'm worried Panlee might get bored because my room doesn't have much, not even games.
Glaijai: Panlee likes playing games.
GunHere: If I say what I think, you'll accuse me of steering the conversation into something inappropriate.
MaMay: 55555 Just saying this sounds inappropriate, Gun.
Ppie: Honestly...
Ppie: For me, just being with someone you like is never boring.
Ppie: You don't need to find extra activities to do.
Ppie: Because I probably wouldn't enjoy anything more than being with them.
GunHere: Are you sure you've never had any romantic experience?
MaMay: 5555
Ppie: Really, @GunHere.
Ppie: My mom told me to save my purity as a keepsake.
Glai smiled and laughed at the messages exchanged by his close friends. Maybe he didn't really need advice. Glai just wanted to have someone he loves with him in every moment, whether in happiness or worry. The playful banter from his friends gave him his answer.
It was just as Pie said... Being with someone you like or love is never boring. Glai thought that even if they sat in silence without speaking, they wouldn't feel uncomfortable. Because in that silence, they would still be communicating through their eyes.
Eyes that say...
When you came into my life,
The same old world didn't feel so bad.
The same old world wasn't boring.
The same old world became 'our world' instead.
Glai shifted his gaze from the screen to the white wall clock. He figured that Khun Prachan would arrive soon. Glai typed a message thanking his three close friends for their good advice, and they all sent their well wishes in return.
Ppie: Have a great time with your moon, Glai
MaMay: +1, same as Pie
And then another message appeared. Gun sent him a private message, separate from the group chat.
GunHere: Be really happy, man.
GunHere: It's finally time for you to truly be happy.
GunHere: It might sound cheesy,
GunHere: But I've been waiting for this moment for a long time.
GunHere: The moment I get to see you this happy.
Glai smiled faintly as he read Gun's message. He felt a warm sting in his nose as he typed his reply.
Glaijai: Thank you for always being Gun.
Glaijai: Always being the Gun who's sincere with me.
GunHere: sent a sticker
After receiving a sticker of a brown bear surrounded by floating hearts, Glai sent the same sticker back to his close friend. He then sent a message to thank his other two friends in the group chat as well. He looked down at his white, oversized, worn-out sleep shirt. Since Glai hadn't gone out today, he was just wearing that white shirt, which had been washed so often that its collar had stretched out, along with a pair of cream-colored shorts he'd recently bought.
Glai thought he should change his shirt. Acting on that thought, he got up from the chair to go to the bathroom. However, before he could reach the bathroom, he heard a knock on the door. He turned toward the large door instead. His slender hand grasped the doorknob as his eyes glanced down at his shabby nightshirt. Glai shook his head and used his other hand to pull the stretched collar up slightly to cover his chest.
When the white door creaked open, Glai saw a tall, very well-dressed person standing outside with a smile. Panlee wore a white shirt tucked into black jeans, paired with his favorite sneakers, and the same watch as always.
"Hi..."
"I thought you said thirty more minutes, puppy?"
"..."
"Why are you so early?"
"Well, someone said he missed me too... so I hurried over."
The large door opened wider. Glai pursed his lips in embarrassment when those eyes stared at his stretched collar before traveling down to his shorts, then back up to meet his gaze. Lowering his eyes, Glai noticed a matte black full-face helmet in Panlee's hand.
When he looked back up at the helmet's owner, Panlee was still staring, but this time with a more mischievous smile. Glai thought he needed to do something before that smile and gaze melted him into the floor.
"Puppy... come inside."
The invited person chuckled and nodded. "Okay... let's go inside."
As the tall figure, radiating a pleasant scent, walked past him into the room, Glai closed the door immediately. He then pointed his index finger to his left chest as if reprimanding the thing fluttering inside. 'Stop beating so fast... you should get used to puppy's gazes and smile by now, heart.' And the heart responded...'How could I ever get used to it... when the puppy keeps using new gazes and smiles all the time?'
Glai let out a deep breath through his mouth and nose, agreeing that his heart was right. Releasing his slender hand from the doorknob, he turned to see the tall figure removing his sneakers and placing them neatly next to his before stopping in the middle of the room. Panlee turned and smiled at him before speaking.
"Where should I put the helmet, Glai?"
"Oh... you can place it anywhere you like, Panlee..." Glai glanced at the helmet in Khun Prachan's hand. The owner seemed very protective of it. Even though Glai didn't know much about such things, he thought it must be expensive. "Is your helmet very expensive, Panlee?"
Glai stepped closer to the tall figure until he was standing directly in front of him. One slender hand reached out to touch the round helmet, wanting to feel its texture. However, a soft chuckle from Panlee made Glai look up, and the bright smile in front of him made him smile too.
"It's yours, Glai... I kept it for you."
"F-for me?"
"Yes... when you ride on my motorcycle, you need to wear a helmet too."
Glai bit his lip to suppress a smile. He didn't really want the helmet, but he was happy that Panlee always thought of him. "How much does it cost?... I'll pay for it."
The taller figure leaned in close, scrunching his nose playfully. "Not telling... because I'm paying for it."
Feeling overwhelmed with shyness at Panlee's words and actions, Glai immediately looked down at the floor and muttered softly, as if only wanting the other person to hear, "...You're getting cuter and cuter, puppy."
"Can I put the helmet on the desk?" Panlee asked.
Glai looked up at the person waiting for an answer. He reached out with both hands to take the large helmet, hugging it, and smiled. "Sure... but I'll put it there for you."
The puppy smiled widely and nodded before saying, "Thank you."
Glai carried the helmet to the desk and placed it down, glancing back at Khun Prachan, who was now surveying the room. Eventually, Panlee stopped and stood in front of him.
"What do you think of my room?"
"It's adorable..." Panlee smiled before continuing, "...I mean, the owner of the room." Panlee's answer made Glai grin. "Puppy, you're not answering the question again."
"Anything of yours, Glai... is perfect."
Panlee replied with a smile before shifting his gaze to something else. Following the gaze, Glai saw Panlee looking at two cacti on the desk. The taller figure sat on the chair, reaching for the cactus he had given as a gift to look at it closely.
"It looks like it's grown a lot."
"Yes, it has grown a lot because I took good care of it."
Panlee looked into Glai's eyes and said, "Thank you again for taking such good care of it."
Glai nodded and smiled. "Why don't you sit for a while? I'm going to change my shirt."
After speaking, Glai turned toward the bedroom door. However, as he was about to step away, a strong arm wrapped around his waist, pulling him off balance until he landed on a sturdy lap. Before he could look at the owner of the lap, another arm wrapped around his waist. Everything happened so quickly that Glai couldn't react in time.
Now, he didn't know where to put his hands. Feeling overwhelmed, Glai crossed his arms over his chest. At this moment, he wasn't even concerned about his racing heart that felt like it might burst out of his chest. He needed to collect himself first. Take care of yourself, little heart. I need to collect my thoughts first.
Right now, it's each of us for ourselves....
Glai swallowed hard as Panlee rested his chin on his shoulder. He sat motionless, stiff as a statue in a museum. Even though they had been more expressive with their feelings after confessing their love, those moments were limited to phone calls and text messages. This was their first time alone together.
Now that they were alone, it wasn't surprising that Panlee wanted to express his feelings physically. Glai didn't feel uncomfortable or startled by the gesture because he understood well that developing a relationship wasn't just about words. Sometimes, actions were necessary...
To convey...
Feelings that words couldn't express.
"I've missed you so much..." Panlee spoke softly before his nose gently pressed against Glai's shoulder. "...Puppy truly missed you, Glai."
The warmth of the embrace conveyed...
Everything that words couldn't.
"I've missed you too, puppy," Glai replied.
It's not just about receiving through letters or words. Both delicate hands, not knowing where to place them at first, slid down to gently rub the thick arm. Khun Prachan then tightened the embrace. Glai turned to look at the person who refused to remove his nose from his shoulder.
"My shirt is really disgusting..."
Khun Prachan laughed softly, then lifted his nose and placed his chin on Glai's shoulder instead. "The shirt smells so good."
"My shirt is really disgusting... it's not fragrant at all."
"Then it means the fragrance doesn't come from the shirt..." The speaker smiled, tilting his face slightly to make eye contact with him, before continuing, "... but the fragrance comes from the owner of the shirt, right?"
Glai bit his lip to suppress a smile before avoiding the other's gaze because he was too shy to face it. Glai's new resting point was the long sofa in the middle of the room. The small person sighed deeply, then said,
"Sigh~... can I take a break from being shy for a moment, puppy?"
The puppy, who was being asked, laughed in delight before responding, "No need to change your shirt... you look cute in that worn-out shirt."
While he thought this shirt was too worn-out to show off to anyone, Khun Prachan thought it looked good. That didn't make him feel any less shy, but Khun Prachan made this feeling even stronger.
"Puppy, you're so cruel... not letting me take a break."
The puppy laughed softly before saying, "Then let's talk about the cactus plant instead."
"..."
"How did you make it grow so fast?"
Panlee probably knew he had been too cruel and decided to change the subject. "I give it sunlight every morning... water it once a week."
"..."
"I add fertilizer sometimes... but not too often."
"..."
"Cactus plants may seem easy to take care of... and many people think they're tough and hard to kill."
"..."
"But the truth is... no matter what kind of plant it is, we still need to care for it."
"..."
"If you care for it enough... it will try to grow and bring you joy."
"It's because I didn't care for it enough... the cactus I had didn't grow much, so P'Fah couldn't stand it and took care of it instead."
Glai laughed before saying, "If Panlee buys one again, you have to take good care of it."
"I probably won't buy one again... because taking care of plants is really hard."
"...."
"...Taking care of you, is much easier."
Sigh... Panlee couldn't be kind for even ten minutes before turning back into the cruel person who made Glai blush with his words and actions. "Puppy, you're really something."
Panlee laughed before saying, "Glai..."
"Yes?" Glai responded while looking at the person who pressed his nose against his shoulder again.
"Don't wear this worn-out shirt with shorts outside, okay?"
Glai suppressed a smile before asking, though he already guessed the answer, "Why not, puppy?"
The puppy placed his forehead against Glai's shoulder instead before speaking softly,
"...Because the puppy is protective."
"Are you that protective of Glai, puppy?"
"The most in the world."
Glai broke into a big smile before nodding in agreement because the puppy's answer was worth listening to. "Okay... I won't wear it outside, I promise."
The puppy looked at him, then smiled widely because he was pleased with the answer, "..."
"But even if I wore it outside, no one would care... a shirt this old."
"If you wear this worn-out shirt and no one cares... I'll let you like me less."
"Wow... you're so confident, puppy."
"I'm more than 100% confident."
"..."
"Because there's already Ne's friend who secretly watches you every morning."
"Ne's friend?"
"Yes, Ne called to tell me a few days ago..."
"..."
"That guy has bad habits of secretly watching you... but if I'm being honest, it's like when I talked to Ne..."
"..."
"That jerk." Glai burst out laughing before saying, "Panlee... you don't need to be so worried about me."
"Because, besides Khun Sasin, I've never looked at anyone else."
The listener smiled before pressing his nose on Glai's shoulder repeatedly. "I know..."
"..." Right now, Khun Prachan was so cute that my heart was about to break. Glai never thought he would be so clingy.
"But I don't trust other people..."
"..."
Panlee released his embrace from Glai. He helped Glai stand up to his full height. The one who was dazed, was turned to face the other person. Before the thick arms pulled him to sit on his sturdy lap again.
Glai glanced down at his current sitting position and wanted to get up quickly because it looked too dangerous. However, the gentle voice of Panlee calling his name made him lift his eyes to look at the other person. Glai slowly placed both of his hands on the other person's chest.
Khun Prachan wrapped his arms around his waist again, pulling him closer. Panlee stared at him seriously. They locked eyes for several minutes without either of them speaking. It was only in the next moment that the owner of the embrace began to speak...
"Khun Glai..."
"..."
"Can you promise me, that... from now on, if anyone hurts you..."
"..."
"Whether physically or mentally..."
"..."
"You will tell Panlee..."
"..."
"And if possible... can you tell me before something bad happens to you?"
"..."
"Just if you feel that someone is thinking badly about you... just tell me."
"..."
"Because I don't want anything bad to happen to you anymore."
"..."
"Do you remember what I told you?... I'll protect you."
Glai nodded repeatedly "..."
"I still think that way..." One of Panlee's large hands moved to gently hold his cheek before continuing "...and today I have something else I want to tell you."
"..."
"I'm always here for you no matter what."
Glai pressed his lips together tightly, nodding repeatedly. He understood the meaning of the English sentence Panlee said very deeply. Glai quickly looked down at his own hands resting on the chest of the taller person because suddenly he felt a stinging sensation in his nose. Glai didn't want Panlee to see the tears that were overflowing in his eyes, so he wrapped his arms around him, resting his chin on his broad shoulder. Glai tried to swallow the feelings down along with the tears trying to rise. But it was at that moment that Panlee's large hand moved to gently stroke his head.
The tears he tried to hold back...
flowed out a lot.
"Panlee... I'm not crying," he said while still hugging the other person, before secretly wiping the tears that had streamed down his cheeks.
"If you want to cry, you can cry..."
"..." Tears flowed even more when Khun Prachan said those words.
"When you're with me... you can do anything, you know."
"..."
"But actually, there's one thing you can't do..."
Glai furrowed his brow and pulled away from Khun Prachan's embrace. He wiped the tears from his face before meeting the other person's eyes. "What is that one thing, Khun Sasin?"
The person being asked smiled and used his hand to brush the long hair in front of him so that it wouldn't poke his eyes before saying, "Calling me Khun Sasin like this... is your way of being sweet, isn't it?"
Glai shook his head, denying it. "I just want to know so I won't do it... I don't want to make Panlee uncomfortable."
"The one thing you can't do... is... you can't love me less."
The gentle response from Khun Sasin made Glai smile widely, his eyes narrowing, then wrinkle his nose, looking at the other person. "This... I wasn't going to do anyway."
"It's annoying," Panlee said, before biting his lip.
Glai pressed his lips tightly to hold back a smile. When he locked eyes with the other person, Glai felt like he wanted to say something. He stared deep into the bright eyes, which shone like the moonlight every night.
"Thank you... Thank you for being Panlee, for being Khun Sasin, for being Khun Prachan, for being the puppy..." He paused, feeling a stinging in his nose again, before laughing to cover up the feelings he had been holding back for so long. At that moment, Panlee shouldn't see his tears. They both should see each other's smiles more. When he was sure that the clear tears wouldn't spill over his eyes again, Glai continued, "Thank you for being everything for my heart."
Panlee smiled. It was a smile that Glai had never seen before. It was a smile that made Glai feel the word 'pleasure.' This smile probably meant, 'I'm happy to be everything for your heart.' Panlee brought one hand to hold his, while the other hand continued to support his back. Glai looked down at his own hand, feeling the other person's fingers gently trace it before meeting Khun Prachan's gaze.
"If I could be more than everything... I would be for you."
Glai thought that if anyone else had said this, it might sound a little exaggerated, but when Panlee said it, it didn't seem exaggerated at all.
"Being this much is already enough for me."
Panlee smiled before taking his hand and placing it over his own chest, staring at him like that before saying, "Khun Glai..."
"Yes?"
"Can I kiss your hand?"
After the request, Glai shook his head, smiling. "No... I don't allow the puppy to kiss Glai's hand."
"Why not?"
"Because when the puppy kissed my shoulder... you didn't ask first."
"..."
"That's why the puppy has to be punished like this."
The affectionate puppy sighed before giving him a pitiful look. "I was wrong... I missed you so much at that time."
Glai smiled softly and shook his head. "I won't soften."
"Won't soften at all?" Panlee said, still holding his hand tightly. He moved his face closer to his chest before pressing his cheek against it. "... Not even a little?"
The person being sweetly coaxed, smiled before gently stroking the blonde hair with his other free hand. Glai didn't know if Panlee could hear the loud beating of his heart. If it were in the past, he would have done everything possible to keep the other person from hearing it. But now, Glai wanted Khun Prachan to hear every beat of his heart.
Glai wanted Panlee to know that...
The heart that beats fast
The heart that beats slow
The heart that is beating... belongs to Panlee.
"If Panlee sings a song for me... maybe I might soften up."
Panlee pulled his face away from his chest. He smiled as their eyes met. "What song do you want to hear, Glai?"
"Panlee, you choose... I can listen to anything."
Khun Prachan frowned as if deep in thought before saying, "Then I'll sing this song."
"...."
Khun Prachan, who was about to sing, transformed back into a clingy puppy. He released Glai's hand that he was holding, then wrapped his arms around his waist like before. Panlee placed his chin on Glai's shoulder. Glai knew that he was embarrassed, so he encouraged him by hugging him back. One of his slender hands moved to gently stroke the other's head before the person who received overwhelming encouragement started singing..
"Do you know how good it is, and do you know how happy it makes me? Do you know how much my old life has changed? Do you know what I was like before I met you? Do you know how great it is to have met you..."
"..."
"You... you are the one who made my life memorable since I met you."
"...."
"The world I used to see was dull, a world with emptiness, gloomy skies, and sad days. I never thought there would be a day like this..."
"..."
"You... you are the one who made my life memorable since I met you."
"...."
"Thank you, heaven, for letting us meet. Thank you, the one above, for letting me find you. Thank you for every story, the cause that brought me to meet you today. You...my beloved."
"..."
Although the clingy puppy finished singing the song, the two of them continued to share their warm embrace, and there was no sign that either of them would pull away from each other.
Glai didn't know if it was because he was listening attentively without letting any other thoughts interrupt or because Panlee sang this song in a more beautiful melody than before, but he felt that the lyrics were more beautiful and profound than every time he had heard it.
"Lee sang a song for you... did you soften up?"
Glai laughed out loud because of the question from the clingy puppy that made him pull away from the hug. He nodded in response, "Because Panlee sings so beautifully... I'll allow you one kiss on the hand."
"Okay..." The puppy smiled.
It was at this moment that Glai's hand was grabbed by a large hand. He smiled and looked into Glai's eyes before pressing his nose on the back of Glai's hand until it snorted. Glai couldn't help but smile and let himself smile widely.
"Just one time, puppy... don't cheat."
"Aww... can't I kiss it one more time?"
Glai playfully sent a stern look at the mischievous one before pulling his hand back.
"No... If I give in too much, the puppy will get spoiled."
"Actually, Panlee should meet someone like this..." The one with the name meaning 'moon' said with a slight smirk before continuing, "... only then I will be under control."
"..."
Glai smiled faintly and shook his head. The truth was, he didn't intend to tame Khun Prachan, but Glai was protecting his own heart. Because if he allowed him to kiss his hand as many times as he wanted, his heart would be working too hard.
"What time do you finish class tomorrow?"
"Actually, I finish class at 1 pm, but tomorrow we have a group presentation practice at 3 pm."
"Ah... that group work you helped with, right?"
"Yeah..." He nodded before asking, "... Why do you ask about my class time?"
"Well, I was planning to invite you to dinner in the evening."
"Oh..."
"After your presentation practice tomorrow, shall we go eat together?" Glai nodded again and said, "Okay~"
"Then after class, can I wait for you while you practice?"
"Sure... If Panlee finishes class, just message me. I'll tell you which room we'll be practicing in."
"Okay..." Khun Prachan smiled before glancing at his wristwatch. "Well, it's getting late, so I'll head home now. You've been working all day, you should rest."
"Okay."
Glai nodded and got up from Panlee's lap. After that, Khun Prachan stood up to his full height. He grabbed his helmet and said,
"Tomorrow, you don't need to bring your car, okay? I'll come pick you up on my motorcycle in the morning and drop you off at your condo in the evening."
"What time do you have class tomorrow?"
"I have class at noon... It ends at 2 pm."
"Then you don't need to pick me up in the morning, because I have class at nine."
"But..."
"Trust me, puppy... You won't have to wake up early." Although he wasn't entirely convinced, he nodded in agreement. "Okay... but how will you get to school?"
"I'll take a taxi."
"Okay... now I feel a little better."
Glai smiled at the taller one before saying, "I'll walk you downstairs."
"No need... It's late. Just send me off at the door."
"But..."
"Trust me... so no one will see your worn-out shirt."
The little one smiled and nodded, then walked Khun Prachan to the door. When the door opened, he turned around and smiled at Glai.
"Glaijai..."
"..."
"Have a good night"
"Have a good night too, Khun Sasin."
Whether it was back then... when Glai hadn't yet reached the moon Or now... when Glai had finally reached the moon
Khun Prachan always gave him the words 'Good night' : )
