*********************************************
Singto arrived in front of a twenty storey building that didn't look impressive from the outside neither from the inside, there were many cracks and holes on the walls, it didn't contain any elevator either. Because there were only cheap flats for poor people who couldn't afford more than that, the owner didn't make an effort to renovate the building or at least taking care of the cracks and holes. He just collected the rents punctualy at the end of the month, didn't tolerate any delayed payment. The freshman, accustomed to climbing montains ever since a kid, took the long stairs up to the fifteenth storey without taking a break or having any problem with his breathing. There were three flats in each storey. When he arrived in front of the middle flat, he waited for a second, took a deep breath to calm down and forced a smile on his face. It was necessary to put a forced smile on and act nonchalant as if he didn't have any difficulty on his first day at the university. For his eldest sister, he would always smile, hide his sorrows and put a fake smile to not make her worry.
When the door went open with a click after it was unlocked with the key, Maripha who was stirring the curry she was cooking in the small kitchen, brought her attention to the direction of the floor. Her lips curved up into a smile as a deep voice greeted her from the living room. She reduced the fire under the curry then went in the floor to meet her younger brother while still holding the spatula, she was curious to know about the events that happened on his first day in the prestige uni that she forgot to put the spatula down. She met a smiling Singto, the latter was holding his backpack around one shoulder but something was strange about him.
„Welcome ho...", Maripha's smile dropped when she noticed the ripped off buttons on her brother's white shirt. She changed the question, „What happened?"
Singto went his hand through his hair, he kept smiling and answered calmly, „It's a welcome ceromony for the freshmen", it was a lie but he managed to speak without giving a hint of lie in his answer.
Maripha was worried for a second but she calmed down, she just nodded and let the matter be even though she didn't believe him completely. She didn't went to university before and did not know about such ceremonies but she heard that there were some crazy and odd welcome ceremonies in universities like hazing. Singto told her that he would go to change into casual clothes and wash his hands before diner but he waited after taking few steps away from her.
He asked without turning back to face her, „Sis, you told me before that the medicine'll help reduce my omega's smell in case I am in heat, right?", he turned his head but still didn't face and confront her. „That nobody will be able to smell me going in heat, am I right?", he forced himself to not sound curious and let her know about the mistake he almost did to Perawat.
However, the smart Maripha was curious and confused, it was the first time that her brother who wasn't interested in such matter was asking her about it. „Yeah, the alpha won't smell it and chase after you. You can rest at ease when you're in heat. It's a special medicine that the doctor made specially for you...". She took a short break before she continued interrogating him with utmost care. „Did something happen?"
„Not really. I just wanted to know the effect of the medicine I am using for years now...", he mumbled before he disappeared in his bedroom.
Singto, neat as always, looked in his room first and made sure that it was clean and tidy like he left it in the morning. He placed his backpack on the desk, took the books that he would use to learn later out and placed them one by one on the desk. He took the shirt off, sat on the chair and mustered at the shirt from ever corner. Voices and pictures of one person flashed in his mind, it was an image of Perawat's alluring look he gave him the moment he was under him, gave in to his advances, leaned his arms around his shoulders and pulled him over to be closer to him. The older man's moans repeated, it sounded kind of sedu... He caught himself having dirty mind about the senior whereupon he jumped up in shock and surprise. No, no, no... I shouldn't be doing this...
He walked from to and fro in the bedroom, shaking his head many times. However the picture of Perawat spreading his legs for him remained sticked like glue in his memory, refusing to be deleted or shaken off no matter the effort he did to forget him. Singto was burning hot all the sudden, he gulped hard, his cheeks were bright red. Slap! He slapped both his cheeks so hard that the bright red on his skin turned dark red. It hurted at the parts he slapped himself but he endured it for the sake of his sanity. Even though he was fighting with himself to not imagine or remember about him anymore, his effort and the pain weren't helping at all. It turned worse as the pictures of Perawat's naked torso, his collarbones, his nipples, his flat abdomen and his bellybutton kept coming back in his mind. He could even feel his hands crawling gently over the shorter man's body, making him moan more and louder, he phantasied about touching his sensitive neck and leaving hickeys there. It was intriguing and triggered something unknown in him, something strange yet intense and addictive to feel. Perawat's sweet smell on the shirt he was holding was making it even worse for him. The smell rised in his nose, itched a nerve that shouldn't be touched or it would trigger his phatansy. His heart was skipping a beat again without mercy. Now he felt more hot and desperate.
„What the hell!", a scream with a loud bang followed.
Maripha who was down jumped in shock as she heard the loud bang from above, as if something hard just hit against the wall. She intended to rush to him and see if he was fine but she decided to stay there, thinking that it must be something about his puberty. Meanwhile the restless Singto was boring a hole in the wall by banging his head against the thin wall over and over again, trying to desperately calm down and decrease his hot body temperature. He forced himself to distract himself by doing something that could need his whole concentration. He placed the buttonless shirt on the desk, disappeared in the bathroom instead, got rid of all the cloths he was wearing then threw them in the washing basket.
After undressing, he looked at his own reflection in the mirror, he appeared exhausted and desperate as if he didn't sleep for day. As he climbed in the shower and turned on the water faucet, he took a quick cold shower to cool down, it was cold but he didn't feel the coldness due to his warm body temperature. He gazed up at the ceiling, cold water fell on his face. His thin and long fingers racked through his dark hairs, a soft sigh escaped through his slightly opened lips. That simple gesture gave him a charming look as if he was inviting everyone to come and taste him. It was a sexy look that could tempt everyone to accept his invitation. Finally, the provoking images disappeared from his mind and he felt slightly chilly whereupon he felt free.
After the quick shower, he grabbed a towel and wrapped it around his waist then dried his hair with another towel. He returned in his bedroom, changed into casual clothes, black jeans and white Tshirt then turned around but his eyes fell on Perawat's shirt again. Actually, he wanted to ignore the shirt and give it back to him tomorrow morning but he couldn't return it without taking care of the mess he made out of it first. As he was a tidy man who disliked any kind of mess, he brought a sewing box out of the drawer, sat back on his chair and began to sew some buttons on the part where they were ripped. He would just have to wash it after the hand work and give it back to him tomorrow. It was hard for him to concentrate on the sewing but he did an effort to make it seem like a professional did his work on it. Apparantly, he was deep into making the shirt look like it was before it went on sale to satisfy him. He didn't know why but he wanted to see him giving him a compliment that he did well and couldn't wait to see him first thing in the morning. Whether a surprised face or a smile, he would be satisfied to see a change of expression on his beautiful, icy face. A small smile appeared on Singto's lips when sewing the buttons and imagining how grateful the shorter man would be toward him.

Meanwhile Perawat rushed back in a ten storey building that was only 10 minutes of driving away from Singto's flat. There was a big difference between the building the freshman went in and the one the pupil representator entered. This one didn't have many storey but it looked tidy and beautiful, there wasn't any stain, crack or holes in the wall. The walls were made out of thick glasses, they were shining bright since they were polished every day by professional cleaners. Their home showed the big differences between Singto and the senior, not only were they omega and alpha but there were other distinction that was keeping them more apart. The former came from poor family, can't afford the expenses for the university and had to struggle in his whole life to survive but the latter was living an comfortable life as a Sangpotirat, did not have to fight for food to survive and could get everything he wanted with a single snap of his finger.
Perawat rushed straight in his bedroom as if he was running away from danger, slammed the door close, threw his backpack on the bed that fell down on the ground and leaned against the door. His eyes wandered around in the room but he wasn't searching for anything particular, he fell deep in thought to think for something to distract himself but his mind was in chaos. His body was still hot, shaking and his heart was ponding against his chest so fast that it was hard for him to breath. He was panting for air, slided down the door, sat down on the ground and bent up his legs.
What happened? How could it happen? He couldn't understand why he gave in, spread his legs freely and wanted him to touch him more. Why did I even spread my legs? It is... Don't tell me I desired him? I wanted him in me? He was shocked and afraid of his own train of thought. His hands touched his cheeks and rubbed against the smooth skin to calm down. Earth on Krist... You can't mean it! No, you didn't mean it! Despite him denying ever wanting that junior, he was still searching for the reasons why he didn't resist him. Why? I am not such a person. He racked his fingers through his hair, grabbed at his hair tightly and shook his head in despair. It just didn't make any sense to him that he went in heat because of a man he just me for the first time! Come back to sense, Krist... You have a mate already... He repeated that sentence about the mate over and over like a broken casette.
Even though he tried to forget, it was impossible. The pictures of that moment came rushing in his head as if intending to tease him and make him lose his sanity. He reminisced them all, the younger man's warm hands that caressed his collarbone, chest, shoulder and stomach. His touches were slightly rough but passionate as if he was his most precious man. His soft lips that touched his sensitive neck, kissed him there and left hickey on his porcelain white skin. His hot breathes that brushed against his skin and triggered something in him as if he touched a spot that was seeking for attention the whole time, sending vibration of pleasure through his entire body. It was the first time he felt this sensation, pleasure and feelings but he was scared of the new changes at the same time, afraid that it could develop deeper and drive him further on the way of the never returned.
His mind was filled with thought of that freshman which name he couldn't remember. Which faculty was he from again? His name... He was searching for a clue about that freshman but didn't find, was blaming himself for not listening to the introduction earlier. His hand crawled over his shoulder, touching the spot where the taller man placed his lips on and kissed earlier. He dashed to the mirror of the bug closet that could be used for a family of five. Thuthump, Thuthump, Thuthump! There was a small brown spot on the right side of his neck, he lost all of his energy, couldn't stand straight anymore and slumped down on his knees. The hickey was a big shock for him, he didn't expect it to be so visible. His hands were shaking, his body was making it worse and letting his heart beat faster than allowed. He felt a sharp sting in his chest. Despair, fear and anger were written on his face, tears filled his eyes but he hold them back.
However, as much as he wanted to hate that freshman, he couldn't find any ill feeling toward him. Somehow he hated the fact that he didn't hate that freshman neither the things he did to him. He was scared of himself that he didn't resist him as he jumped at him. Because he didn't do anything against him today, he didn't know what he would allow him tomorrow or after tomorrow if he jumped at him like that again so he decided that it was the best if he took his distance from him and never let him take part in his life. He would destroy everything he built so far in his life if he let him get closer to him! That man was poison to his bright future. Just like weed in a well grown grass that one made an effort to grew. Or just like a dangerous thorn on a beautiful flower that one watered and took care of everyday to make it blossom one day beautifully. Why he was afraid to let that young man get close to him? It wasn't because he was the crown prince's mate but because he would take THEIR only source of living away if he made a mistake and his freedom was taken away from him!
Krist was about to take that bastard's shirt off and throw it angrily on the ground as his phone vibrated suddenly. It was a notification that his bank card was blocked. Just like expected, his mother really blocked his unlimited bank card as punishment for hanging up on her like that. He did not even care about that bank card anyway since he never used her money but his own that he earned through diligence and much sweat. Before he could pond about the bank card, he received another message. I am waiting for Phee... A smile appeared on his lips as he read the sweet message. He looked at the watch around his wrist as he realized that it was already 5 p.m in the afternoon. His eyes flied around in his spacious bedroom, there were many clothes laying on the ground and on the bed, there were many books scattered on the desk too.
His room was a mess that there wasn't a spot on the ground where one would walk without stepping on something. His friends and mother who always visited complained that he should tidy his apartment but he always found the excuse that he didn't have time to tidy it. Everyone asked how he didnt have time when he only had his classes and came back at 5 p.m or earlier sometimes. According to everyone, he didn't have to do any part time since his parents were paying for his expenses but he still complained that he had much to do and it wasn't easy to be him. He knew that he was lazy too sometimes but only he knew what he was talking about when he meant that he was too busy since he had to take care of some matters.
Without eating diner, the senior of the economy faculty picked up his backpack, walked out of his apartment, went in the underground parking lot, climbed in his car, looked around to make sure that he wasn't followed then drove away. This day began odd with him smelling another man's pheromones that forced him getting into heat then with him saving an omega freshman and almost letting that former do something to him that would be a huge scandel if known to the public. The big shock was that he even invited that freshman to touch his body as if they were meant for each other. However, he wished that there werent't more surprises waiting for him too, the rest of this day should end busy like usual. Now that he was on his way there, he hoped that he would successfuly calm down and delete his Nong's pictures from his mind.
****
In the next morning, Singto went 30 minutes earlier to the university since he wanted to give something to someone who left his belonging to him. He had his backpack hanging around one shoulder and was holding a paper bag in the other free hand. He took the direction to the economy faculty and waited in the front of the senior's classroom instead. Many students passed before him, giving him a glance before they disappeared in the class. Murmurs raised in the hall, many were giving him disgusting looks as if he was a contagious illnes, some were shuddering that an omega was standing there and poluting their atmosphere. Singto waited for more than twenty minutes for the pupil reprensatator to arrive but gave up as the latter didn't appear and he only had ten minutes to walk to his faculty and attend his classes.
Singto was on his way back to the medicine faculty when he met his best friend New on his way there. The taller man was waving his arms around to gain his attention, his smile was too bright and annoying in this morning. Singto originally planed to ignore him and walk away from his embarrassing friend but he waited on the spot and turned back to face him. However he found something more interesting behind New. Another young man was walking through the entrance toward them, dragging his feet and his backpack on the ground, dark bags were under his big, red eyes. Apparently, the young man didn't get enough sleep, he yawned, was even too lazy to put a hand before his mouth to yawn. Singto walked over to New, the latter's smile brightened because his introvert of friend took the first step to greet him so he opened his arms for a hug but the man he was anticipated to hug, walked pass him. New's arms fell down in disappointment, he was sulking and mumbling that he ignored him again then turned around to see the person who took his friend's attention away from him. There was this sorry looking man behind him, a senior that he met yesterday for the first time but have heard many information about him already. Like he always came late to class despite him having time of his life and never studied but always ended with best grades in his faculty. There were even rumors going around that his parents were buying the grades for him so he could graduate as the faculty best. That senior was Perawat Sangpotirat! New was more confused why his best friend who never talked to anyone he disliked or thought wasn't worth his time, was giving his attention to such a man.
Krist yawned again and looked in the front when he saw someone storming toward him. That man's pheromones were still there and disturbing him, bringing everything in his body, heart and mind in a mess. He searched around for a spot where he could hide from him, he turned back to disappear through the entrance but the person was already behind him, grabbed at his hand when he wanted to run away. Singto hold tightly onto his senior's hand and turned him around to face him by pulling him back. A sharp electric shock vibrated through the spot the younger man hold onto Krist, spread in his arm and throughout his entire body. It ended with his heart skipping a loud and hard beat. The sudden tension didn't give him any pain but more like a slight pleasure. Every sensation this man was giving him, made him more afraid that he would allow him to touch him more. Krist got panicked and shuddered anxiously, yanked his hand out of the freshman's grip but ended up scratching the back of the taller one's hand with his silver bracelet around his wrist. Blood dripped down the younger man's cut on his hand.
Krist was shocked at his own action but the freshman's surprised expression hit him hard like cold water spread onto his face, it caused a sharp sting in his chest. Even though he promised himself to keep his distance from that junior, he still felt miserable for rejecting him the most embarrassing way. It surprised him more that he wounded him with his careless behaviour, he stuttered and intended to apologize for his action but the freshman just gave him a nonchalant expression as if he didn't care of the injury he inflicted on him. It was time for the classes to begin but there were many students in the hall who found the fight between the bold alpha and the smart omega more interesting than their studies. There were many eyes of the students on them, murmurs raised among them, they were asking each other what happened. Singto didn't feel bothered to be the centre of attention but Krist didn't like the look he was getting. He was the pupil representator but he despised attention and never wanted to be people's topic of talk.
Singto just hold the bag in front of the older man, „There is no need to feel afraid of me. I won't infect you with my omega scent", he was sure that the shorter one didn't want him to touch him because of his identity as an omgea. According to him, Perawat was a proud alpha who wouldn't allow a dirty lowlife like him to infect him with his stupidy. It didn't matter to him that Perawat saw him as dirty, pervert and lowlife as long as he gave him his belongings back and he returned his.
The senior wanted to deny that he wasn't afraid of him because of his identity but because he was feeling weird whenever he touched him and he feared that he would like him, his touches and the feelings he was giving him if he let him get closer to him so he preferred to choose the hard way to have his distance from him. However, Krist was feeling like a jerk for wounding him but he didn't know how to apologize to him. The words he wanted to mumble were stuck in his throat and refused to come out. „It's your fault for touching me...", he was eager to put the blame on him and hide his embarrasment. He appeared arrogant as he didn't apologize, as if he was too proud of his alpha blood in him and didn't have the need to repent on any of his mistakes but the truth was that he was scared of this freshman, his touches and the pleasures he was giving him.
The freshman also didn't give Krist the time to collect himself and express the words he had to say. He interruped him, „Here, for you..."
Loud gasp echoed in the hall. New was the loudest of them, he even covered his mouth with his hands to not let any weird sound out. It was the first time that an omega dared to speak to an alpha, especially to the strong Sangpotirat that casually so they were more than surprised, shocked, disgusted and felt offended that he was showing himself off instead of hiding in an corner like all the omegas were doing. Krist, again, was frustrated, his cheeks turned red all the sudden. He was clearly blushing but he played the annoyed guy, grabbed at the freshman's hand and pulled him forward into another direction. The spectators wanted to follow them but it was time for their classes to begin and the professors were going in the rooms so everyone went seperate way and disappeared in their lectures.
Krist only let go of the taller man as they appeared in an empty hall in front of the students council's office. He looked around to see that they were really alone then back at him. „Didn't I told you not to approach, touch and speak to me again or I won't...", he complained that his junior dared to do the opposite he warned him about but the latter interrupted him again.
Singto didn't let him finish his complain and shoved the paper bag onto his chest. „I am here to give you your shirt back."
The shorter man took the bag, opened it and brought his shirt out. It was washed, ironed and folded neatly like a professional cleaner worked on it. The things that surprised him the most were the buttons sewed on it, it looked like new as if he just bought it. He was beyond amazed and speechless since he didn't expect the bastard to go to such lengths just for his shirt. Both young men didn't find the right words to describe their emotions. The younger man appeared calm on the outside but his mind was restless, he found himself always focused on Perawat's beautiful face, his thin lips, his smooth cheeks that he wished to caress. Meanwhile the older man felt too overwhelmed by his Nong's simple gesture. It was the first time that he received something back from someone he did wrong. He insulted, threatened and injured the freshman but he still took care of his shirt for him and brought it back, giving it a shining appearance.
„You, You...", Krist couldn't mutter the words because of the overwhelming emotion but he thought about it instead. You didn't have to disturb yourself for my shirt... It's just a worn out shirt after all.. He would never admit it openly but he was overjoyed that a stranger thought of him as important too that he took good care of his belongings on his free will even though it wasn't needed. He realized that the freshman didn't have any ill intention toward him, neither wanted to use him to gain favors like most of his acquaintances were doing. Now he looked at Singto's face and noticed the taller man's attention on him whereupon he gazed aside to avoid his sharp eyes that was sucking him deeper into them, making it impossible to concentrate. He felt flustered, his cheeks were burning hot.
Singto kept his calm demeanour but he couldn't hold himself back from mustering the shorter man closely. After scanning every part on his Phee's body with his eyes only, he recognized the shirt the latter was wearing. The buttons were brown instead of white like the ones of the students who came from Moon city wore. Why his buttons was slightly different? Because it was made in their village, the brown buttons were cheaper but was with good quality too. He smelt that his Phee had showered but he wore his shirt that he took away from him yesterday, meaning that he didn't change into new clothes today.
The senior scratched at his forehead, timid as never before, „Thanks for washing it. Sorry but I can't give you your shirt yet because I... I didn't have time for a change... ", he took a good look at himself and grinned in embarrassment, „I promise that I'll give it to you tomorrow."
It was too much for the freshman, he just wanted to have his belonging back and close this annoying chapter with the senior. It was causing him headache to discuss with his senior who didn't care for other's feelings. The thing that angered him the most was that Perawat didn't spend the night home but somewhere else. If he smelt so good in this morning despite him not changing clothes then it meant that he spend his night with someone who had a roof over her head and where he could shower. He fell deep in thought. Maybe with a girl? His mate? Tsk, I didn't have time for a change, my ass! According to Singto, Perawat went to have fun with his mate in her home. He was already imagining things, picturing him together with his girlfriend, both laying on her pink bed and kissing lovely. He could not understand why he felt annoyed by that fact that he had a mate already and met her instead of learning at home or washing and ironing his shirt! His hands clenched into fists, he intended to get away as far as he could get from him before he lost his sanity. It pissed him off that he didn't take him as his first priority but went to have fun with his mate instead!
Singto took the way back without bidding farewell with his senior or giving him the chance to explain himself to him, leaving the shorter man dumbfounded alone. He was about to turn in the corner when another student came from the front direction and his voice screamed a name that made him froze on the spot all the sudden.
„Krist!", a too loud voice yelled.
The freshman turned back all the sudden, excited to meet the man with the name Krist that was lingering on his lips, in his mind and in his heart for years now. His memory about the first Krist he met that time came flashed like a movie in his mind. The pictures of the 5 years old boy he met 15 years ago and waved a goodbye with him before they parted way appeared in his mind. He remembered how his Phee scared the bullies away for him, played with him, gave him candy, comforted and laughed with him. This memory was the one he hold dearly in his mind and never wanted to forget no matter the circumstance. That five years old boy was the only one played with him without caring for his omega smell. However, he met a man he didn't expect to have the same name as that cheerful and sweet boy from back then. Perawat Sangpotirat looked pass him to meet someone's gaze who was behind Singto.
„Come quick in class. It's professor cold face that is going to teach math today!", one of his best friend which name was P'Off yelled across the floor, he didn't even care if that professor heard him or not. He was waving at him that he should end the discussion with the freshman and come with him in the class if he didn't want his points to be reduced again.
Krist became frustrated as soon as he heard about the professor who would teach them math today. The professor was a strict one who despited late comers and could send them out of the class if he disliked the person. The senior promised his Nong that he would give him his shirt tomorrow and walked over to Off without bidding farewell but Singto reacted on impulse and caught his Phee's hand instead. However, he didn't know what to do and how to react, it was his damn body that moved before thinking straight. Now he was holding onto Krist, both were staring at each other, the older one was confused and slightly angered while the younger man was eager and determined as never before. Meanwhile P'Off gasped in shock like a girl who saw something inappropriate or like a monster trying to devour his best friend with words.
Actually, he wanted to go far away from Perawat but he couldn't ignore him so easily as he heard that he was called Krist too. Maybe, he could be his Phee that he met 15 years ago but he hoped that he was wrong with this assumption. He didn't want his sweet and cheeful twin to have grown up as this prideful, estranged alpha. „Did... Did we met before?", he asked him but he changed the question immediately before the older man could pond deeper into it and think of this question as a flirt. „...Did... Did you perhaps visit a hospital near a village called sky village before?"
Krist was confused at the first question first but the second one almost threw him off guard. He could make an effort and think about it whether he visited such a hospital before since he went to quite many hospitals in his childhood but he refused to think hard about it. He got the feeling that he would disturb him even more if he was serious and tried to remember the past to answer him. He just shrugged off, „I never went there!", it was a straight reply to close the Q&A part that was too annoying to him. Because his Nong's touches were causing his heart to thump restlessly again, Krist angrily pulled his hand out of Singto's grip, stepped backward then turned away to leave.
Singto was left flabbergasted, he could only look at Krist's back till he disappeared from his sight by taking the corner to his faculty. One thing was certain for Singto at that moment. The Krist from 15 years ago wasn't this Krist from the economy faculty. Why he was sure about it? It was Perawats behaviour! That young boy from back then was humble, grateful, cheerful, liked to share, gave him his last candy and even took a slap for him while protecting him from his own mother. Yeah, Singto knew that the five years old boy gave him his last candy but he didn't say anything about it to him because he was just too young to understand the meaning behind such a action like giving someone your last possession that you would like to keep for yourself. It meant that he really considered himself as his Phee and Singto as his younger twin brother back then.
However, this Krist here was different. More like arrogant, greedy, playful and mischievous, as if he only cared for his own pride, family and reputation. These two Krist were 2 different men who shouldn't be compared in his own opinion because one was good and grateful while the other was evil and selfish.
Off dragged his friend away while complaining that he always came too late and should sleep earlier now to be able to attend classes punctually. Singto let a heavy sight out and returned in his class. New was waiting for him the whole time and was wondering why he took too long for a small talk with Krist since it was the first time that he witnessed the too smart Singto to come late in a class. He was asking himself how Krist and his friend met and which topic they would speak about even though they met only yesterday for the first time. As the young man entered the classroom, all eyes were in his direction. He felt annoyed that he gave Perawat too much attention that caused him to arrive late, something that he was always careful to avoid. He apologized for being late then went to take place on his seat that was next to New's.
****
In the next morning, Singto arrived early again with the hope that Krist would give him the shirt he gave him two days ago. This time, he waited in front of the entrance to avoid students from the economy faculty to stare at him like yesterday. He waited for half an hour but Krist still didn't appear whereupon he went in his classroom to attend the professor's lecture about human's anatomy. Now he was in his classroom, the professor was talking about the various bones and nerves in human's body. He looked outside of the window and saw an unexpected person going through the gate and was sneaking around to get close to the building with the intention to not get caught. Suddenly, the young economic student in his third year felt intense gaze on him, someone was staring at him and causing his heart to beat faster. There was only one person who always managed to make him feel restless. He gazed up, his aim was a young man sitting in the medicine faculty. Just like expected, he met with a freshman he knew too well but would want to take further distance from him. He witnessed how the taller man dared to shake his head on him, Krist's mouth went wide open in shock that that freshman was bold enough to insult him like that.
Even if he was his Phee, Singto couldn't take him serious anymore. He came late two days in row and had the audacity to wear his shirt again, meaning that he didn't go home yesterday and spent the night with his mate again. It was too much for the clean freak to take, he wasn't only disgusted that he wore the same shirt in three days but he was more annoyed that he didn't go home and choose to have fun with a girl instead of taking a proper rest in his house. He took his attention away from him and listened to the professor instead. Krist clenched his teeth, he wished that he could go over there to him and scream at him that he shouldn't look at him like he was a clown who shouldn't be taken serious. After taking his anger on a dustbin by kicking on it with force, he ran in his classroom. Like always, his friends covered up for him and were distracting the teacher with answering some questions so Krist would use the chance to sneak in the room and sit down on his chair like a brave student who came here an hour ago.
****
The last lesson ended at five p.m. like in the last two days. Singto took the opportunity to run to the economic faculty, meet Krist and take his shirt from him so he would not abuse it again for the fourth time. He waited in front of the senior's classroom and looked in the room, many students passed before him but they gave him a curious look before going seperate way. There he met Krist's four friends which name he learned by New, these were P'Ice, P'Off, P'Onew and P'Gunsmile. Only P'Ice and P'Off were studying economy with Krist and the two others were studying art and engineering. They met here to go home together but there weren't any traces of Krist. He was about to ask one of them where their last friend went but he heard how P'Off complained that their bad-tempered leader left earlier again because he had to take care of an urgent matter. Singto had enough of his hide and seek game, it seemed like that he was avoiding him on purpose. As he heard that the older man was at the parking lot, Singto didn't wait any longer and rushed in the direction of the parking lot, bumping against some students while going through the crowd of people who were about to walk through the exit. Again, he ignored and went pass New who was about to call him over and meet in a restaurant to catch up with the past.
Singto arrived at the parking lot of the students but a grey car drove past him, Krist was the driver. He didn't have time to take a break but managed to hail a cab. „Sir, please drive after that grey car!", he asked friendly from the driver.
The middle aged man looked at him, mustering him to see if he was a decent man or a stalker. According to the driver, the young man was talking like a jealous boyfriend who was eager to catch his girlfriend cheating on him. Singto didn't care of the odd look the uncle was giving him, he urged the older man to follow him before they lose his track. Krist took another turn whereupon the driver drove over the red traffic light, he was closely behind him but managed to be discreet so the person in the grey vehicle wouldn't notice them.
Singto's eyes were following every step the shorter man was doing in his car. He didn't even know why he was eager to catch him today. It wasn't for a simple reason like taking his shirt back but he was curious at something. He just drove after him on impulse but he wanted to confirm whether he was right or wrong with his assumption that Krist had found his mate and was sleeping in her house. Even if he didn't know why he couldn't think of anything else as to chase after him, he still felt the urge to resolve this mystery today. He didn't know yet how he would react if he found that Krist was indeed spending time with his girlfriend. It was unclear if he would be hurt, disappointed or feel cheated if he found him kissing his girlfriend but he would think of that matter after he had catch him with her. He knew too well that it wasn't his affair to meddle in but he couldn't ignore that situation like he always did. He was aware of the fact that he was acting strange and different whenever a situation concerned Krist but he, too, was confused why he always wanted to know much about his senior. As if he could never leave him alone no matter the circumstance. As if an invisible magnet was pulling him toward Krist.
After 30 minutes of driving and following behind him, Krist finally arrived at his destination. It wasn't an expensive looking building like Singto expected but more like a small house that was for business purpose. It was actually a small cafe, it was already full and the staff were busy serving the customers. Krist exited his vehicle and approached the cafe, the driver was flabbergasted that the young customer in his cab was after a man and not a woman like he had thought in the beginning. He assumed that the man he was told him to chase after must be that handsome man's mate and he was cheating on him. Singto stared at the cafe for long but his Phee didn't come out either. Actually, he should be at his home now but here he was, curious about someone's love affair. The mystery about Krist's whereabout after school was causing too much havoc in his mind that he had to solve the jigsaw before going home or he wouldn't find his peace.
Singto took his university tie off to hide it and paid for the taxi's fee but he had another favour to ask. „Uncle, do you have something that I can use to disguise my face?"
The taxi driver become more suspicious of his customer's behaviour. He was even ready to call police on him in case he was a stalker who had ill intention toward the young man he was supposed to follow. However, he still answered, „I have a cap and sunglasses."
The young customer gave him extra money for the 2 items then exited the cab and approached the cafe, hiding behind the wall to observe the room through the glasses. The cafe was filled with customers that not even a table was available. Most of the customers were young girls at their age or even two or three years younger and older than them, some of them were wearing high school uniforms and the rest university black and white uniform. Singto wore the black cap and sunglasses, it wasn't a flawless disguise that hide his identity perfectly but it covered up his sharp eyes that was looking through one's soul and his handsome face that couldn't go unnoticed whenever he went. He was peeping at the windows, some girls inside the cafe saw him behind the windows looking inside. They were murmuring that a creep was outside of the building and observing them but Singto didn't even have his attention on them, his eyes were wandering through the customers, it seemed that he was searching for something or someone. There were no traces of Krist and his date.
Singto waited until a couple stood up from their place and left the cafe. Now that there was a table available, Singto reacted fast and entered the building when he witnessed another group of two young girls wanting to enter and take that very spot away from him. The two girls eyed him, insulting him that he took their places but he didn't care, made himself comfortable in the seat and mustered the cafe clearlier. It looked small from the outside but it was quite spacious and cozy, the seats were warm but the air was slightly chilly and was giving a comfortable feeling.The tables and chairs were colored red, the menu that was wrapped around in red ribbon was on the table. The atmosphere here was calm, giving one a carefree feeling as if one could let go of his sorrows when coming here. The hall was decorated beautiful, Singto was surprised at the atmosphere here, thinking that only girls or couples would come here for a date. Unfortunately, he was alone so he was attracting many women' attention, not just because he was the only man and wearing a cap and sunglasses to hide his identity but because he was without a partner.
Singto, still not caring for being the only centre of attention and topic of discussion, searched around for his Phee but still didn't find him untill his eyes met with someone who came out of the staff room behind the desk while tying his black apron behind his back.
The freshman assumed that he would meet a flirtatious Krist and a giggling girlfriend having a date together but he met an unexpected surprise. Instead of dating and flirting with his mate, Krist had changed into new clothes, black pants and red sleeveless shirt that seemed more like staff clothes that was a match with another woman's clothes. The young staff was probably in her middle twenties but was working on the counter instead, charging the guests with the bills. Meanwhile another young man older than Krist had changed into casual clothes and left as his replacement, Krist, arrived to continue his work. The economic student walked over to some guests who were eagerly waiting for him to take their orders.
„He's here...", some girls were mumbling, giggling and blushing as soon as Krist began his shift.
The ones talking about the economic student weren't few at all, many eyes were laid on Krist but he seemed not bothered by their whispers and intense looks on him as if they wanted to undress and devour him on the spot. He continued taking their orders and writing them on his small notepad.
„You're right... He's really handsome, cute, beautiful and hot... Just my type...", another one muttered.
Unfortunately, Singto was sitting behind fangirls and had to listen to all of their conversation. The numbers of girls who came to admire his Phee's beauty weren't few, it looked like that more than half of the guests were only here for him and not for the delicious coffee, cakes and pastries. According to some girls right next to poor Singto, the cafe wasn't only popular for its cozy atmosphere and delicious pastries but more like for the young, handsome waiter working here from 5.30 pm on. Apparantly, the customers were getting more the moment Krist started his work. Singto followed the girls' example and gazed outside. Just like the customers were assuming, there were more guests forming a queue outside of the building and waiting for the tables to be available so they could find a place to admire him and talk to him too. Some were glaring at the guests who have found places, suggesting them to be quick and leave the cafe so it would be their turn to have some fun too.
Singto was getting more impatient, he did not like the dirty talks and imaginations the girls were having about his Phee. Some phantasies about him were inappropriate, he had to swallow his anger and clench his hands in fists to not snap but to stay calm instead. It was hard for him to listen to more lewd stories, some were preparing to stalk him and find where he was living. He was getting angry at them and didn't like their plot to follow his Phee and find out more about him but forgot that he, too, was like them who was chasing after him to see what he was doing after school ended. Even after agreeing that the girls were crazy and childish with their plot, he found his own actions appropriate because he had a good reason behind him stalking him.
„Do you know his name and if he has found his mate already?", this was the most question many of the curious customers were asking.
The discussion and questions about Krist were getting more dirty, many asking how he would look like if he was naked or wearing his apron only. This strange question triggered Singto's memory and caused his imagination to run wild. A single picture appeared on his mind, it was him laying on top of Krist, the latter having his shirt ripped apart and his naked chest exposed. He blushed at that image, he felt hot and restless. However, the guests were getting louder and pulling him out of his daydream. Singto was getting annoyed the more he was listening to the conversations. Krist had already taken the orders of the customers on tables 5 and 6 and was approaching the next seat. The freshman was so deep in thought that he didn't notice his Phee standing in front of him. All the sudden, a hand waved in front of him while calling him. The young waiter reacted and waved his hand to gain his attention after calling for many times but didn't receive any answer.
„Sir, are you alright?", Krist asked, his voice soft and sweet like an angel speaking through him.
Singto was taken aback by the sudden change in his voice, it was a sweet voice that made him frozen on the spot and speechless for a long moment. It was the first time that he heard Krist speak with such a warm voice that was containing many emotion, sounding like the only light in the darkness. Like the only saviour in time of desperation. Singto's eyes that were hidden under the sunglasses were glued at his Phee. To make it even worse, the shorter man smiled at him, his dimple revealed to him for the first time. Krist's smile let him feel like a ray of warm light was projected on him, his body temperature raising all the sudden. His restless heart was skipping a loud beat, it was so loud and fast that he was afraid that either Krist would heard it or his heart woud jump out of his chest anytime. He was too focused on the cute man with the dimple in front of him that he was lost for words for too long.
„Are you okay, Sir?", another question, he seemed worried even to a stranger that he didn't know.
Only now did Singto react with a nod. He couldn't speak and make his Phee notice that it was him so he just pointed his finger on one cake on the menu, it was a strawberry cake that he did not like much. He nodded as the waiter asked for coffee. Krist went over to give the orders to the three other staffs who were responsible for placing the orders on the plates. While walking over there, the customers were staring at his back side till he disappeared behind the counter.
Tsk, no wonder he is popular here... No one will resist his smile. He was critisizing how often he was smiling to the customers and how they were giggling like teenies in love but he didn't realize that he, too, was blushing and mesmerized by Krist's dimpled and genuine smile. He's way too friendly with the customers. He caught himself complaining about his senior's way of serving the customers, thinking that he should act professional and concentrate on taking the orders instead. For an unknown reason, he did not like how the guests were drooling over him and Krist not doing anything but making it worse by acting like a saint. For him, Krist wasn't a saint but more like a devil in disguise to cloud his senses.
Krist came back with iced coffee and a strawberry cake while another staff brought the orders of the other guests to them. He placed the food on Singto's table and smiled again, „It's quite hot in here and the hair will get more stuffy since it will rain soon. It is better to eat and drink something cold instead...", he explaned to him why he brought iced coffee instead of hot and black coffee. His smile was so bright that Singto was glad that he wore sunglasses to protect his eyes or he would go blind in his brightness.
The strange looking customer with the black cap and sunglasses just nodded, his lips curved up into a smile. Somehow, he found himself falling deeper in the older man's eyes and smile, not because he was falling for him but because he found him so fascinating that he couldn't take his eyes from him. Since it was rare for him to see the smile of the pupil's representator who always came late in class, was fierce during a fight with other alphas, hated to be touched by him and wore his shirt for three days now, he was more than surprised to see him act like a different man. He couldn't forget this sight easily. To see his phee working serious and not as his usual carefree self, made Singto curious and eager to find out more about him. According to him, Krist had many faces that could change according to his mood. He was glad that he got to learn much about his other side and faces too.
Sing's lips curved up into a little smile that he himself didn't know exited in him till now. He felt comfortable here and wished to stay for a long time to observe Krist working. He took his phone out, went through his contacts and dialed a number. It rang three times before someone picked up the call. His sister was at the end of the other line.
„Sis, I will come home late today...", his attention was still on Krist, his eyes were following every of his steps like how he went in the kitchen only to come back with clean plates. He did not lie often but if he did, it was accurate and believable. His voice were firm as if he was not lying to her, „I am with New and we have decided to catch up with the past."
„It's fine... Have fun and don't forget to greet N'New from me...", Maripha was worried about his safety but she knew that he had grown up into a fine young man who could disguise dangers from safety. Even if it was her responsibility to protect him, she couldn't control him most of the time like she did in the past. It was time to let him enjoy his life with friends.
Singto bidded farewell with her then hang up, his focuse still on Krist who was serving more customers. He didn't know why his Phee fascinated him in an annoying way but he wanted to find more about him today. He needed to find out why he, a rich alpha, was working in a cafe for small salary. It was necessary for him to find out why Krist would sneak around and work far away from university, as if he was hiding the fact that he was working from his friends and family. He had to find out where he was spending the night after work. Apparantly, Singto did not plan on going home so soon but stay here and solve this mystery today.
****
After the cafe was about to get closed shortly before 9 p.m., Singto decided to leave and wait outside for Krist instead if he didn't want to appear like a creep who was sitting in the corner while doing nothing. It was slightly chilly in the night and the temperature decreased with the rain but he didn't have any other choice as to stay outside. He was standing behind the closed cafe with the red umbrella over his head, the rain pouring down hard. Krist had changed into his student's uniform already, he bidded farewell with the other waiters, left the building and dashed to his car, his hands over his head to protect himself from the rain. He climbed in his car and drove away in another direction opposite to the route he came from.
Singto followed him by jumping from rooftop to rooftops, his feet touching the rooftops without making any sound to not alert and scare the family living in the houses. However, they didn't come far as Krist drove on a small, bumpy road and stopped his car on a side of a street that seemed more like abandoned where only few would want to live. Many holes and cracks were on the street, the houses were rundown and there weren't any working laterns on the road neither light on in the few houses. Singto was surprised to find such rundown town in the capital of Sunland, the Moon city which was known for its expensive living conditions, varieties, beauties and for its many possibilities to broaden one's knowlegdes and expand fortunes. This dirty district of the Moon city wasn't any better than the old sky village where he had lived recently.
Apparantly, there were only the low and weak classes living here since he was smelling the weak smell of omegas in the few houses that were habitable. In the city, he saw big buildings with luxurious cars, expensive clothes, delicious foods and happy pedestrians who didn't have to worry about their future but here was the opposite. The roads were full of unsteady spot that could damage cars, the streets were smelling like rotten eggs, there were dirt like papers and leftovers on the ground and the houses weren't steady but looked more like it would collapse anytime. Singto felt a sharp sting in his heart when comparing the poor condition of these omegas living here with the luxurious ones of the rich alphas in the city. He felt pity toward his folks and hatred toward the more lucky alphas.
Singto looked forward at Krist who was trying hard to turn on the engine many times to make it work but his attempt were in vain. He asked himself who Krist really was. There were many mysteries about his Phee. First, why would he, a rich alpha, work? And why did he work in a cafe that was more than 30 minutes away from the university? Why would he come here and dirty himself with the dirt and smell? He was no longer searching for the reasons why he did not spend the night in his own home. Singto wasn't interested in Krist's mate anymore but more on Krist's true self that he was concealing from everyone from finding out.
Krist exited his car and looked at the tires, there was a hole in one tire that was caused by the big holes in the ground. He knew that something like this would happen sooner or later but he didn't expect it to happen right now when he didn't have any umbrella with him. The owner of the vehicle repair shop told him that he needed to change his tire because it was worn out but he always pushed the repair behind because of lack of money. The rain was pouring down even harder, hitting his face and making it hard for him to breath properly. Why did you have to abandon me now? He looked around, it was pitch black. He had to be careful if he didn't want any bandits to surprise him.
This street seemed calm but it was full of dangerous bandits who wouldn't flinch to rob someone like him who had more than them. If someone ambushed him here then he wouldn't be able to sense them or defend himself because of lack of strength and sleep. He woke up early in the morning, went to school, worked after uni and had to take care of them till they fell asleep. Only then would he find time to sleep too and he was doing this routine for 3 days now as the university began. This kind of life wasn't hard as he did not have any classes but the holidays ended and he had to study hard and graduate next year too. He gazed up in the sky again, sighed heavily and picked up his backpack and the other paper bag from the seat. There were pastries and cakes in the paper bag, he took a look in it and smiled. He just hoped that it wouldn't get squished by the rain, made sure to lock his car, hold his backpack over his head to protect the pastries and cakes that the cafe gave him as leftovers then ran in the direction he originally wanted to reach.
There was a reason why he didn't jump on the rooftops to reach his destination earlier. Since he was exhausted and lacked of strength, he would surely fall down on his way so he preferred to run there instead. Unfortunately, he didn't have any reception to call for a cab but he would rather save money instead of calling a taxi to drive him there. He didn't even know if a taxi would dare to come to this district that was cut off from the outside so he choose not to think of this solution. Here were the omegas who were abandoned by the society to take care of themselves so only few dared to set foot in this place and put themselves in danger. If he used the rest of his energy then he would reach there soon. Even though he was exhausted and hungry, he didn't complain about his life and had a smile on his face the whole time. For him, this life was better, interesting and intriguing than a life as a Sangpotirat where he couldn't be himself but had to act ruthless like everyone.
The freshman on the rooftop didn't leave him out of his reach for a moment, he watched how the prideful and strong Krist called the beautiful ice prince was struggling in the rain and used his backpack as protection for the food. It seemed like the pastries were more important than himself and the books he should use for studies. The way Singto was looking at him right now was different than the way he looked at him at their first meeting three days ago. There were more emotions in his eyes, feelings like curiosity and determination to know everything about this man. With a small effort, he stepped forward, fell down on purpose and landed in front of his Phee, the umbrella covering both head. Krist halted in his track, his eyes widened in shock and in surprised as soon as he saw someone standing before him.
Krist's hand that was holding the backpack fell down and he looked up, he gasped faintly in shock as he recognized the freshman. Both handsome, young men froze on the spot, they were staring at each other and falling deeper in each other's eyes. The wind grew stronger, its fresh breeze blew over them, tickled their skin and let chill run down their spine.
„W... What are you doing here?", Krist stuttered first but managed to ask the question.
„Tell me where you are going and I'll take you there..."
„Did... Did you follow me?", the older man was more flabbergasted that he followed him but he didn't even notice his smell around him. Even if he was exhausted and didn't have any strength, he could at least feel an omega as weak as this freshman but he just didn't notice that he was here the whole time untill he landed in front of him. That strange fact terrified him the most, he was about to take a step back to escape from him.
„Yes I followed you here but...", he answered. He said immediately with a calm voice as his Phee took a step back to run way, „I'm not here to hurt you... I want to help you to reach your destination sooner."
The shorter man made a serious expression, he ready himself to fight in case of him trying to do anything to him. „Why did you follow me... Why do you want to help me when we barely know each other?", it didn't make any sense to him that a man he met 3 days ago and fought with would want to help him without expecting any reward.
Singto couldn't answer this question either since he didn't know the answer himself. He just knew that he couldn't bear to see him struggle in this rain anymore. His heart thumped faster the longer his senior was suffering alone. It was too painful for Singto but he admired him too that he still smiled genuinely despite the hardships. However, he would never be able to admit this odd feelings to him because just like Krist mentioned, they barely knew each other. Still, he wanted to offer his help to him.
Krist remained serious and he waited for the junior's answer that never came. He just looked deeper into the younger man's eyes but he noticed none of the ill intention he expected to see in his eyes. That freshman was rather calm but determined to support him. For an unknown reason, he wasn't scared of him. It was odd that he felt more safe in this stranger's side that he failed to resist on their first encounter and failed to sense tonight. It wasn't his character to ask for help no matter the circumstance but he thought that maybe he should accept his help for this night when he rememberied the situation he was in. Just once... Just for tonight, I'll rely on someone and let him help me... He was reluctant at first but still gave him a reply, „It's two kilometers from here... It's the only building at the end of the street...". He searched around for any vehicle that could transport them there, „Where is your car?"
„I don't have any!", Singto answered straight.
Before Krist could even ask for another question, Singto suddenly leaned his arm around his waist, pulled him closer to him and leaped forward, jumping from rooftops to rooftops while holding the umbrella above their head to protect them from the rain. Krist screamed first since it took him by surprise but he kept his mouth tightly shut to not let any noise out. It was the first time that he was in an man's embrace and that person hold onto him while jumping so he was scared for a moment and screamed on impulse. He felt embarrassed that he let this sound out like a young maiden, he looked aside to the freshman whose face did not change for a single moment. He was concentrated on holding onto Krist, protecting him so he wouldn't fall down and jumping on the rooftops. His face from the side was dazzling to the older man. Handsome... He caught himself praising the younger man for his look whereupon he closed his lips even tightlier to not spout any nonsense anymore. He didn't want to stare at him anymore and gazed down to avoid him but his eyes brightened suddenly when he realized how it looked like when one was above in the air. It was a beautiful view, the soft wind was making the leaves dancing around, the air was touching his skin and leaving goosebumps over his body. It gave him a comfortable feeling that he was feeling for the first time. Whenever he was jumping from buildings to buildings, he never got the chance to look down but today he did it because he wasn't the one jumping and didn't have to be careful. He smiled brightly, his dimple were exposed for the second time today.
Singto was careless for a moment and his steps became unsteady as he stared aside to his Phee and caught his smile. His dimpled smile did something to his restless heart again, it skipped a loud beat. For Singto, Krist's dimpled smile was the most precious things about him. It would always brighten someone's day, getting rid of the darkness in his life if he smiled like this but he only smiled according to his mood. Just like now, he was enjoying the view and felt free so he showed his precious, soft side. He is worth the title of the beautiful ice prince. It suits him really well. He didn't realize it but his lips curved into a faint smile. He was staring at him for too long that he took a false step and almost fell down whereupon Krist's body reacted on its own and wrapped his arm where he was holding his backpack around the freshmans shoulders to steady his position without even knowing it. Singto took his attention away from him and looked in the front instead, he managed to leap on the next house without much difficulty.
At the same moment, the smiling Krist forgot that he just promised himself not to look at him anymore and gazed aside to the taller man and noticed the calming look on the latter's face. His smile froze, he was shocked at his Nong's expression. This look! He knew this expression too well. It was the same look his father, the strongest in the army, made when he was serious for a fight. Is he really an omega? Krist was doubting Singto's identity. He was sure that this young man wasn't normal. An omega wouldn't emit this much of confidence, pride, energy, superiority and strength like he was doing. Even though he was curious, he didn't dare to ask him about his social class since it wasn't his affair to meddle in.
The last building was in sight some meters ahead of them. Singto leaped down and landed in front of the door of the building and mustered at its appearance closely. Just like most of the houses, it was rundown and the walls were unsteady as if it could collapse but he realized that some corners of the thick walls were repaired recently. There were many repairs done on the building few years ago, like new windows, doors and playground. He read at a sign hanging on the wall, Smile Orphanage was written on it. Krist needed a while to collect himself and be himself again. Only as he could stand straight at his own feet, did he realize Singto's arm around his waist and his own arm around the latter's shoulders. He stepped aside to seperate from him and leave a gap between them, coughing once to hide his embarrased, blushing face. He rang on the door bell. It didn't even take few seconds as an elderly woman in her middle sixties to open the door. Children rushed behind her and jumped at Krist, all of them cheerful and hugging him the second they saw him. Krist squatted down and hugged the more than ten children back while holding the paper bag up to protect the pastries and cakes.
Singto was left aside, no one caring about him so he preferred to stay put and to not make any sound to disturb the happy reunion between Krist and the children. He didn't mutter any word but he realized that the children were all omegas. Even the elderly woman was a weak omega whose energy was fading away slowly, meaning that she was near her end. Again, Singto was surprised that a strong alpha like Krist would associated himself with weak omegas and have healthy relationship with them. If he didn't witness it himself then he would never believe that there was an alpha who had an equal relation with people from lower classes and would even let omegas conjure a smile on his lips. It was more unbelievable that the alpha in talk was a prideful one like Krist Perawat Sangpotirat.
„Finally, you're here...", the older woman said with a bright, relieved smile on her face.
„Why are you still awake at this time around?", the question seemed like it was adressed to the children but it was actually for the older woman.
The children were so loud that the older woman had to reprimand them that they should cheer without making loud noise. She sighed, „They refuse to sleep because you didn't arrive yet... It looks like you will have to spend another night with them again to calm them down...", she had a foreboding that the noisy children wouldn't let him go home tonight either.
Finally, Singto had his answer to his first question. The mystery of where Krist was staying for 3 night in a row was resolved. He didn't have any mate either was spending the night with her but with these children. Singto was lost for words, slightly embarrassed that he judged the older man wrong, thinking that he only had girls in his mind. Like everyone had assumed him to be, Krist wasn't arrogant, prideful and greedy. His life was not easy like the students were thinking of him because he was struggling every day just normal omegas and betas, there was nothing of a prideful and dominant man about him. However, one assumption was right about him, he was truly hard to know and to get close to. For an unknown reason, he was relieved and his heart calmed down that Krist didn't end up meeting with his mate yet. Apparantly, he was happy to know that he didn't have his mate yet, just like himself.
Even though he remained calm, Singto's eyes were on Krist the whole time, he felt relieved and even smiled briefly as the taller man was smiling all ear because of these young ones. It was a brief smile that he himself wasn't aware of.
