“Hello. You must be Khun Rarin.”
“Yes, I am Rarin. And you are…”
“I am Purin.”
Whoa. The atmosphere was extremely formal.
Dear could only think this to himself as he led Rarin into the condo suite. He had also called the owner beforehand. Therefore, when they entered, the large man was already waiting. Upon seeing the young woman's determined demeanor, the young man rose from the sofa and extended his hand for a handshake, greeting her with a businesslike manner that left the two youths just staring at each other.
Porsche would definitely be able to handle this.
They had the same thought without prior agreement. Similarly, Rarin stiffened a bit when she saw that Dear's romantic partner, whom she had assumed would be a reckless university student who did not yet know what love was, turned out to be such a stable young man.
“Please have a seat,” Purin said with a faint smile, gesturing towards the sofa set, prompting Rarin to speak.
“Thank you,” she said, then sat down, feeling quite impressed by the homeowner's polite demeanor.
“Dear, please go get some water for our guest,” the well-mannered youth said, even though he was very curious. But Rarin immediately objected.
“That is not necessary. I will only trouble you for a brief moment. I just have a few questions for Khun Purin,” the young woman said. Her eyes seemed to glint, causing Sun to send a pleading look to his idol.
Please help me, Phîi.
“Yes, I know a little from what Dear has told me. Dear, come sit here,” Purin said. Even though the other party had come to intrusively ask about his private life—specifically, whether he was really dating this little one—Purin understood why the other party would be so rude as to come and ask directly to be sure about who Dear was with.
Just by looking into her eyes, he knew this capable-looking woman loved her junior.
“Uh, yes…” Dear had almost moved to sit on another sofa, Had Porsche not caught his wrist and pulled him gently to sit down beside him. His sharp eyes seemed to smile as he looked at the person whose cheeks were turning slightly red with embarrassment under others' gazes.
Acting like this is basically showing everyone we're together, eeya! I'm shy!
Rarin watched this demeanor without looking away.
“Sun, sit down.”
“Yes, yes,” the Faculty Moon said, his neck sinking, and he quickly moved to sit in another corner. He felt quite apprehensive under his romantic partner's glare. Just look, she's glaring at me so sideways.
“I apologize for the intrusion, but I must ask directly. What is your relationship with Dear?” Rarin looked away from the brother-in-law she did not like one bit and turned to the homeowner again. Her gaze stopped on the large hand that was gripping the other youth's wrist, not letting go.
Purin smiled politely at the question. The large hand pulled Dear's hand onto his own lap with a natural gesture, causing the junior to bow his head completely.
Well, actually, I kind of want to pull my hand away, but experience has taught me what I should do.
I should just say directly what Porsche is to me. So, Phîi Rarin, since you already know, just tell her.
“Yes, Dear and I are dating.”
Thud.
Rarin fell silent immediately. This was a man many women would probably be willing to offer themselves to on the spot, yet he was admitting it to her with a steady voice. The hand holding Dear's was clasped tightly, using action to clearly state their relationship. She could not help but be rude and ask further.
“And do you not think that two men dating might not last? You and Dear also seem to have a significant age gap.”
Is Phîi trying to get me and Porsche to break up?
Dear could not help but think this to himself, and he could not smile. This was in contrast to Purin, who let out a soft laugh, showing no hesitation at this question.
“It's not as if a man and a woman dating will definitely last either,” he said. It was Phîi Rarin who was taken aback, and that made Purin continue in a softer tone. His sharp face turned to look at the junior who kept bowing his head beside him.
From the day he and Dear had problems, to the extent that the junior would not smile at him and was sulking, it made Purin even more certain where his heart lay. With other women he had dated, if the other party sulked, he would just placate them out of duty. But when it was this junior… Dear being angry made him distraught.
“And it is the same. Love is not limited by age. There are many couples with age gaps of tens of years who still last. The ages are different, the thoughts are different, but I am willing to accept this youth's thoughts… But actually, you probably want to ask more than that. At Dear's age, are you sure you are willing to step away from the normal path to be with a man…”
“And I think you probably want to change Dear's name to Ryu… You are likely wanting to ask about your junior, who is only in his second year. Is it really appropriate for him to step away from the normal path to be with a man… Am I correct?”
Gasp! Is Porsche related to a prophetic goddess or something!
Dear could only look at the person beside him with amazement. Purin continued speaking in a polite tone, yet his words attacked the main point directly. The young woman fell silent immediately, her two hands clenched tightly together, and she let out a sigh.
Rarin had told herself from the start that if the person her sibling was dating was a woman, she probably would not have interfered like this. But precisely because the other party was a man…
“Yes, I am thinking whether it is appropriate for Ryu to date a man. I am not anti-homosexual. I just wonder if it will last. I have seen countless couples of eighteen- or nineteen-year-olds who end up breaking up. And this… a man with a man…”
“But I really like Ryu, Khun Rarin!!!” Sun, who could not bear it any longer, interjected.
This made Rarin swiftly turn her gaze to look at him. Although she did not intend to look down on the youths' love, it was her experience as an adult who had been through more that made her see more things. And she thought that a relationship at this time would ultimately end with them going their separate ways—if not now, then after graduation.
Rarin's gaze said frankly that she did not want her sibling to get hurt.
Purin quietly observed the pensive expression on the young woman's face for a moment before letting go of the hand that was holding the junior's.
“Dear, Sun, go play a game for a while.”
“Hey! Porsche, I want to stay,” Sun protested immediately, but Purin shook his head.
“I need to talk with Khun Rarin for a moment… You two eighteen-year-olds, go inside.”
“Dear is not a youth anymore!” This statement made Dear pout with irritation at the person acting so adult, especially since last night he was still playing ghost-under-the-blanket with him. This made Purin reach out and ruffled his tufted hair with a warm smile.
“Trust me.”
Damn! Porsche, you cheating-damned-animal!
“Let's go, Sun,” said the one who had intended to stay. He then got up and went to pull his best friend, who had a disapproving look. But when he looked at his idol and saw that Purin's eyes indicated he would handle it, the person who did not want to be seen as a youth in his romantic partner's eyes could only sigh and step into the bedroom. The other person, Dear, left the two adults alone together.
The door to Dear's bedroom closed just as Purin turned back to his guest.
“Regarding what you asked me earlier, Khun Rarin, I just want to ask you in return: if Ryu decided not to date Sun, would that make your sibling happier than he is now?” This question made the young woman recall her sibling's tears from the other day. Just seeing Ryu sitting there, taking out Sun's clothes to throw away but being unable to actually discard them, she could only press her lips together tightly.
No, Ryu would not be happy.
“I know accepting this is difficult. But no one starts a relationship thinking they will break up. For me, I do my best every day, and I admit I still think about the normal path of dating a woman. Life would be easier; no need to hide, no need to date secretly. But when I ask myself, if I did not have Dear today, what would I be like…” Purin's voice quieted a bit as he glanced at the door, which he noticed was slightly ajar.
Heh. Is being curious a trait of this junior, my little one?
“And I got my answer… The happiness I have with that youth by my side makes me willing to walk a path that society says is abnormal.” Purin smiled at her again.
“And I think those two youths feel the same. If you let love slip away just because you think it is abnormal, they might look back and regret it… I am not taking Sun's side, but I want you to try to open your mind a little. This youth might be the one who makes your sibling the happiest… You probably know better than I do that time answers the questions we have by itself.”
Throughout this, Rarin could only stay silent. She was thinking over the other person's words, looking into the pair of sharp eyes that clearly reflected sincerity and gentleness when he spoke of the youth named Dear.
“You say you are not taking sides, but you are asking me to give Sun a chance.”
“I am merely suggesting an option… one that I think you might be interested in, that is all.”
“Has anyone told you that you are a terribly skilled negotiator?”
Purin actually let out a laugh. “And is it effective?” he asked.
Rarin pressed her lips together slightly before sighing and then standing up from the sofa. She turned towards the bedroom door.
“Sun!!!”
Her call made the person hiding behind the door with his friend jump. Rarin spoke calmly.
“If you do not come out, I will not give you a chance.”
Bang!!
“I am coming!” The tall figure shot out of the room immediately. The young woman looked at him out of the corner of her eye, shaking her head slightly at the youth who had been eavesdropping on the adults' conversation. Then she turned to speak to Purin politely.
“Thank you, and I apologize for my rudeness… I wish you good luck.” The listener accepted her words, understanding that the other party's "good luck" certainly referred to the junior who was peeking out from the door with wide eyes. He laughed out loud, watching Rarin step out of the room.
She then said clearly and loudly, “Sun, we have matters to settle if you are going to date my sibling.” That was all it took for Nǎai Athit to widen his eyes, turn sharply to look at Purin, and raise his hands high in a wai of gratitude.
“You are my idol!!!” He also gave a thumbs-up once more, then ran after the person who had stepped out first. This made the young man laugh heartily, shaking his head in amusement before turning to look at the junior whose face was red.
“Porsche, are you… uh… really happy… uh… dating me?” the junior asked shyly.
Purin touched the tip of his chin. “I wonder, am I happy or not?”
“Hey! Porsche! Tell me!” This time the junior actually ran after the person who had stepped into the kitchen, hoping for an answer. He did not tell him at all, but he was genuinely smiling so widely his cheeks nearly split when Porsche said he was happy dating him. He did not want to be teased, but he thought the same thing….
I'm also extremely, extremely happy to be dating you!
***
“Do not forget the promise you made.”
Thud.
“Ouch! I am going crazy. I still do not know how to appease my romantic partner! And my romantic partner's conditions are so damned harsh!” At this moment, Sun was sitting on his heels in front of the condo he frequented, vigorously rubbing his head with both hands. Rarin's words echoed in his head, making him gape.
She really intends to skin me alive.
The person who took a deep breath thought this.
“Fine, take it! My own sibling managed to pursue a she-demon for years! A mere horny kitten is no match for me!” Then the person who transformed into a cat tamer (which might now be a hungry tiger) took a final deep breath and strode straight towards the condo in front of him. He even took out his keys.
After standing there breathing in and out in front of the door for almost five minutes, the person who had resigned himself to certainly being beaten up slowly inserted the key.
Creek.
“Hey, why won't it open?” This time, the Faculty Moon widened his eyes in surprise. No matter how he tried, the doorknob just made a creaking sound, indicating that the room's owner… had already changed the lock.
“What are you doing in front of my room?”
Gasp!
“Hey, Phîi Ryu, since when did you get here?” the reckless young man jumped in surprise, turning back to look.
Behind him, he saw his beautiful romantic partner (who, he had heard, Had demoted him) standing and looking at him with a serious expression. However, the slender face looked paler than usual, and the bruised eyes made the onlooker's heart ache a little more.
Crying like this means you do not want to break up with me, right?
“You came to get your clothes back tonight, right?”
“Hey!”
“I have separated them already. Come in and get them.” Sun was left speechless as the other party spoke to himself, then stepped forward to unlock the door. He did not yell, did not throw a tantrum, did not use force, but was cold in a way that made the guilty person feel a chill run down his spine.
I have never encountered this version of Phîi Ryu before.
Grab.
“Let me go!!!” But the moment he followed him into the room and grabbed his hand, Ryu shouted loudly, turning to look at him with furious eyes.
“No. Not until we have talked this through properly.”
“I understand enough already! Let me go right now!” Ryu still spoke in a cold voice, which made the listener grip his hand even tighter.
“No. You have to listen to me. Dear and I really are not involved in anything. You saw it yourself; he has Porsche. And that photo, it was just a friend of a friend…”
Smack!
But then, Sun, who was in the middle of explaining, froze completely when a heavy punch landed squarely on his cheek, turning his face to the side. The pain radiated across his entire face, along with a surge of anger. What the hell did I do? I was not even finished speaking, but I got punched full force. He turned his head sharply to look, his expression just as serious.
“Phîi Ryu!!!”
Thud.
However, when he turned back, the person who had punched him with full force did not have the hateful expression he had expected. If Phîi Ryu had a slightly colder face, if his eyes looked like he wanted him to go far away, Sun would not have hesitated like this. But right now, Phîi Ryu looked like he was about to cry, and he used the hand that had punched him to wipe his tears hastily. His voice trembled as he spoke.
“You cheated on me…”
This made the lump in his chest hurt as if someone had stabbed him with a knife. And that made Sun ignore all the hellish nonsense, except for…
Grab.
“Let me go, you damned-animal! Let me go! Do not touch me!!!” The strong embrace wrapped tightly around the slimmer frame. The person who had started crying struggled with all his might but could not break free from the embrace that was like an iron clamp.
Moreover, the deep voice spoke. “Do you really want me to let you go? Do you really want us to break up because you misunderstood me, Phîi Ryu!”
Thud.
The listener fell silent immediately at this question. His whole body shook because for the past few days, the only thing in Ryu's head was the image of him having to break up with Sun. And that… hurt much more than he had imagined.
If Ryu thought Sun would mess around with someone else, would go annoy someone else, would ambush and overpower someone else, or even just hold someone else's hand, it hurt so much he did not want to perceive anything anymore. He wanted to say no, you are forbidden to take care of others, forbidden to annoy others, forbidden to have anything with anyone but me. But his pride and dignity stopped him.
If he had someone else, someone like him would not think of continuing with Sun either.
The stunned silence of the fierce cat made Sun tighten his embrace and bury his face in the slope of his shoulder, feeling exhausted.
I just realized I missed you so damned much, Phîi Ryu.
“Phîi Ryu, please believe me. I have never cheated on you. Since I met you, I have only pursued you. There is truly no one else. I told you before that I would keep a cat. It is you, Phîi Ryu. My cat. Truly the only cat I have…”
Ryu gritted his teeth, thinking back to when this nuisance of a youth said he would keep a cat. He knew that even from that moment, he was setting a trap for him to fall into. But still…
“But you took a picture with someone else.” His voice softened, leaving only a tone that seemed to say you are wrong.
This made Sun sigh heavily and decide to confess. “I wanted to make you jealous.”
“Hah!” Ryu could only lift his head to look, but he only saw the dark head buried in his shoulder.
The person also spoke in a dry voice. “I… well, back when you would not let me penetrate you, remember? So I thought if I made you a little jealous, you might give in. So I… kind of… went to take a picture with a friend… just a little. Really, just one picture, Phîi. The moment I took it, I distanced myself immediately.” At the end of his sentence, Sun lifted his head to look at the person who had fallen silent, then hurriedly tried to explain himself.
“You are not angry with me, are you?”
“You were trying to make me… jealous… is that it?”
“Uh, yes.” Sun said as he thought. I am so screwed.
Sun could only tell himself this when he saw the adorable, red-eyed gaze change into glinting eyes. The pale cheeks and trembling lips began to turn a deep red. But this time, Nǎai Athit concluded… Ryu is angry as hell.
Crash!
“Ouch! Phîi Ryu, calm down! Agggh, calm down!!!” That was it. A heavy palm smacked the middle of his skull, followed by a foot kicking him squarely in the side. The slightly larger person barely had time to brace himself. He could only raise his hands to protect his face as Ryu slapped his shoulder with full force. Moreover, the voice that had been trembling and adorable just moments ago was now merciless.
“You were trying to make me jealous, but do you know I cried like I was going insane because I thought you cheated on me! You damned-animal! You despicable-person!!! Do you know how afraid I was of breaking up with you, you damned-animal!!!” This time the curses flew thick and fast, making Sun wish the other party's Phîi could see her sibling's true nature. But the content of what was said made the person being hurt break into a smile.
Grab.
“You love me, don't you?”
Thud.
Having managed to grab both of Ryu's hands, Sun smiled smugly and stated confidently, making the listener widen his eyes.
“If you did not love me, you would not be this angry. If you did not like me, you would not be jealous of me to the point of crying like a dazed cat like this… right?” Having said that, he brought his face a little closer. Ryu gritted his teeth audibly; his cheeks were starting to turn a deep red. Sun could tell for sure… he is getting shy again.
Crash!
“Ouch!!!” But Ryu had not yet run out of steam, because he kneed the nuisance of a youth in front of him squarely in the stomach. This made both hands let go, and Sun slumped down, clutching his stomach, feeling extremely winded. Ryu wanted to kick him again, Had it not been for the fact that he looked up with a smile.
“Phîi Ryu… I will not break up. I absolutely will not agree to break up with you. Even if you beat me to death, I will not break up… This Sun really only has Phîi Ryu.”
The words from the person who was aching all over made Ryu, who was about to throw a pillow at him again, turn his face away. His heart was beating so hard it was scary. Even though he knew he was easily swayed for believing him, he… also did not want to break up.
“Promise me.”
“Hmm.”
“Say you promise!” Ryu said harshly, even though his face was red to his ears. Sun quickly spoke accordingly, afraid his romantic partner would bare his claws threateningly.
“I promise.”
“You are forbidden to cheat on me.”
“I promise.”
“Say 'I promise, Phîi'.” Ryu pressed his lips together for a moment, then relaxed, forcing down his embarrassment to continue speaking. “Do not tease me to make me jealous.”
“But what if you get jealous on your own?”
“Sun!!”
“Ah, yes, yes! I will not tease you to make you jealous,” the annoying fucker was still an annoying fucker day in and day out. This made Ryu glare at him, and his transparent cheeks turned increasingly red. He also cleared his throat slightly and turned his face away completely.
“And… then if you want… do not use dirty methods again… tell me directly… I will give it to you.”
Hah? What did my romantic partner say? Give what!
“Wait, wait, wait! Whoa! Give what, Phîi? If I want it, you will give it? What is 'it'? Be clear! I am thinking deeply here!” Sun even lifted his head from the floor, surging towards the person whose face and ears were now completely red. He did not mind when Sun used both hands to hold his waist tightly. His sharp eyes glinted as his brain (the one below the navel) interpreted it in only one way.
“That thing!”
“What 'that thing,' Phîi? I do not know.”
Damn! My romantic partner is so damned cute.
The person who was being teased thought this as he looked at the pretty face that was making an expression as if it wanted to bite his head off, mixed with a flustered look of being unable to say what he would give. This made Sun break into a wide smile.
“Give what, hmm? Give what?”
“Damned-animal! If you want it, just tell me! I will spread my legs for you myself! Are you satisfied now!!!” This time, the person being teased shouted loudly.
He wanted to shove him away with another crash, but he recognized that he had already worked him over enough. Therefore, the person just turned his face away, not minding the person who was now nuzzling his face into the crook of his neck.
“Phîi Ryu.” Ryu got goosebumps all over from the husky voice of the person whispering by his ear. Moreover, this pervert was already slipping his hand inside his shirt.
“Then let's have a reconciliation ceremony, shall we?” As he said this, the speaker tried to take the beauty's shirt off. His sharp face pressed kisses lightly onto the base of his neck, feeling triumphant immediately.
Hell yeah! I am going to make sure Phîi Ryu cannot get out of bed! Having a male romantic partner is this good. No menstruation.
“Sun, I have something to tell you.”
“Save it for after this, Phîi,” the beauty's voice was not very audible, as he was busy with the soft skin. But he had to stop when Ryu grabbed both his cheeks and pushed them up so they could make eye contact. Then he gave a beautiful, slight smile that made the onlooker infatuated, in contrast to the faint words he spoke.
“I have diarrhea!”
“Hah!”
“Yeah, I have diarrhea. So… you are not getting any,” having said that, Ryu pushed himself out of the octopus's grasp immediately. The smile at the corner of his mouth was like someone holding the winning card. He looked at the Faculty Moon who slumped to the floor, then quickly turned back into the bedroom, intending to put the clothes of this bad-natured person back into the closet.
“Nooooooooooo!” And when Sun's lament followed him, the person in the room broke into a wide smile, both hands clutching his chest tightly.
I am glad you did not cheat on me. But go without for a while now. Hah. Trying to make me jealous, huh? Then you can go help yourself for another week!
If Sun knew this thought, he would swear never to make the cat angry again.
***
At the same time, inside the luxurious condo suite, Dear was rushing out of the master bedroom.
He intended to play games, but then he saw his large sibling who had fallen asleep on the sofa, with his MacBook left open. He had to step over and lean on the sofa back.
“Porsche, go sleep in the bedroom. Do not sleep here,” he said, poking him gently. But the sleeper showed no sign of waking up, making the cute-faced youth break into a mischievous smile. He hugged the sofa back tightly as he looked at the sharp, Handsome face of the person sleeping soundly.
Whose romantic partner is he? So damned handsome.
The person praising his romantic partner thought this while moving to sit on the other side of the sofa with a fun idea.
“Whose romantic partner is this? So handsome… Such thick eyebrows…” The junior touched the thick eyebrows lightly with his hand.
“Such a high nose,” he poked the bridge of the nose a little, then laughed at the sleeping person's scrunched-up nose.
“Such long eyelashes,” he stroked them gently, causing the owner to shift slightly.
“Such soft cheeks,” he tapped the cheeks lightly before moving his fingertips to the lips.
“Such a…” Dear's voice trailed off as he looked at the well-shaped lips that had given him countless touches. He glanced at Porsche's face, confident he was still asleep, before leaning down.
It should be fine, right? I just want to kiss my romantic partner a little.
This thought made Dear stare at the well-shaped lips for a moment before… pressing a light kiss onto them.
Snap.
“Mmph!!!” But the moment they touched, Dear squirmed violently when a large hand locked firmly onto the nape of his neck and pulled him down to receive a fierce, hot kiss that pressed close. The tongue of the person who should be asleep slipped in, tangling with his until it was a mess. By the time Porsche released him, Dear was panting heavily, his two hands clutching the sleeper's shirt tightly.
“Cheater!”
“Who is the cheater, hmm? I heard someone was going to steal a kiss from me, you junior.”
“D-Dear did not! I… I just saw an eyelash fallen on your cheek. I was just going to remove it.”
Damn it! An eyelash falls out, but I choose to touch your lips? Stop looking at me with those glinting eyes!
Dear screamed in his mind as the other person looked at him with a knowing smile before nodding slightly.
“I believe you.”
“Good, you better believe me. I'm going to bed now. You should not stay up late either, or you will age quickly and not know it.”
Now Dear did not care about anything else, because he immediately sprang away from the other person and hurriedly stepped into the bedroom like a hygienic youth, completely forgetting his plan to play games.
Then Porsche called after him… “Do not fall asleep yet. I will come and help you smooth your eyelashes later.”
Dammmmn! Someone like Porsche is not going to smooth eyelashes. Someone like him is going to smooth other hair for sure!
As for what hair, let them go and smooth it out themselves.
