"Rain, you should stop dating her. No matter how attracted you are to Ple, nothing good will come out of your relationship, trust me" Sky said at the phone, after his friend called him in the evening to tell him what happened during the stay that was supposed to fix all his problems.

"Oh shut up, I'm not going to accept suggestions from you, you said you despised that stalker and now you even accepted to go out with him." Rain said annoyed.

"Do I really have to come there and kick your ass to smack some common sense into that dense brain of yours? These situations are totally different, although his approach wasn't the best, Prapai never hurt me; Ple on the other hand constantly compared you to Payu since the very beginning. Can't you see that?" Sky responded.

"But..."

"No but! She has clearly shown that she doesn't want you, she wants Payu! How obvious does she have to become to make you understand that you don't meet her standards? Trust me, Rain, leave her now, it will only get worse with time" Rain's friend interrupted him.

"You don't understand, Sky, there is something fishy here. I'm sure that if I show her that Payu isn't the person she thinks he is, then she..."

"Then she will just justify him for whatever action you condemn and she will also call you envious. This is the only result you will get if you continue on this path" Sky interrupted him again.

Payu already went to his bedroom, while Ple managed to intercept her brother before he could get there as well, she stopped him in the corridor with the firm intention to confront him.

"Ple, I know what is going on and I must warn you, you have to move on" Som said resolutely as he immediately realized his sister's true intentions.

"Oh, so you know... you didn't seem to know how bad I felt whenever you bragged about managing to date him though! Why are you doing this to me? Why did you ask me to come here and take that silly boy with me!? You're only making things more difficult!" Ple replied.

"I'm sorry, Ple, but he chose me and there is nothing you can do about it. You just like him because he's attractive and popular, I love him because he's loyal and I'm loyal to him. I'm sorry that you seem so blind to see the difference..."

Feeling tears rushing to his eyes, Som, turned away and walked to his bedroom. He took a deep breath and wiped away his tears, the last thing he wanted was for Payu to see him in pain. He opened the door and found Payu on the bed, scrolling on his phone while waiting for him.

"Payu, I have to meet a few suppliers tomorrow, I thought I could take Mark and Ple with me, while you could stay here with Rain. I'm sure that if he gets to know you better, he will see you more as a friend than a perfect figure to be compared to, what do you think?" Som proposed after he got under the blanket.

"I will have to stay here anyway, I might as well do something useful, right?" Payu replied and kissed him on his forehead. Som quickly fell asleep, while Payu couldn't help but think about that guy, Rain, he surely had his flaws but that didn't justify Ple's behavior at all.
