Arthit looked around the cafeteria, searching for that one person but he couldn't find him anywhere.

"Arthit, what are you looking at?" Knott asked his friend.

"Oh, nothing Knott," Arthit replied turning his attention to Knott.

"Well, uncle is calling you. Go and meet him."

Arthit nodded his head and asked his friend to order his food while he meets his father.

Arthur winked at a girl who was starting at him from a table for a long time. He laughed as he walked away seeing the girl's face turn red.

Arthit walked to the director's room and knocked on the door before entering inside.

"Good afternoon Mr.Director," Arthit chuckle when he saw the man roll his eyes.

The middle-aged man looked at Arthit and chuckled.

"Come sit Arthit."

Arthit nodded his head and sat on the chair in front of the man.

"So, how were the classes? Any problems?" The man asked.

"The classes are nice. And there's no problem. And as usual, all students are over me because my dad Mr David is the director of this big university," Arthit chuckled.

David laughed at his son's words.

"Well, got any person who is interested in?" David raised his eyes. He knows his son very much, wherever he goes he can see Arthit falling for someone but never approaching them.

The face of the young man he saw in class immediately came to his mind at his father's question. A small smile already forming on his lips.

"Well, I'm not sure but will tell you when I find that person," Arthit smiled.

David smiled back at his son, "Sure son, go and have your lunch now."

"You too dad, don't overwork. You'll soon become old," Arthit stood up.

"Who's your old man? You don't know your dad Arthit," David smirked at his son.

"Yeah yeah, Mr.Director," Arthit laughed before he waved at his father before exiting the room.

Arthit walked towards the cafeteria and his eyes landed on a lone figure near the cafeteria garden. Sitting alone on a bench and eating some sandwich.

A smile bloomed on Arthit's face when he recognised the man as the same man he had been waiting to encounter with.

Arthit walked towards the man sitting on the bench, he could hear the girls squealing at him but he ignored it. For him, the mission was to get to know the man.

"Hey!"

Arthit saw the man freeze for a moment before he looked up at him.

Arthit felt as if the time had stopped itself. Those eyes that were staring at him now looked soo beautiful and flawless like the man's sun-kissed skin. Arthit felt attracted to those eyes.

Arthit snapped out of his thoughts when a hand was waved in front of him.

"Huh? Oh...hmm...hi, sorry for staring like that. I...I just want to talk to you," Arthit tried to speak.

Arthit cursed himself. He is a very talkative person and he always talks to everyone most of the time yet he couldn't do that with the man who was in front of him.

Arthit watched as the man raise an eyebrow at him.

"Well, we're in the same class if you didn't notice me. And I saw that you don't speak to anyone here. Just want to get to know you," Arthit gave his signature dimpled smile to the man.

The man stared at Arthit with wide eyes without saying anything. Arthit grew curious about the man. Till now the man didn't even say a hi to him and he felt annoyed for it but he didn't say anything.

"If you need someone to talk to I'm here buddy. By the way, my name's Arthit, Arthit Rojnapath. You?" Arthit extended his hand.

The man looked at the hand in front of him and gulped. The man didn't know what to do.

"Kongpob!"

Arthit and the man turned their head to the source of the voice.

Arthit saw Chai walking towards them. He bowed at his professor who smiled back at him.

"I see that you guys are getting along," Chai smiled as he looked at Kongpob.

"Yes Sir, I was just talking to him. You know, get to know your classmates," Arthit chuckled.

Chai chuckled and nodded his head, "So you know that Kongpob is..."

Before Chai could complete Kongpob stomped on his feet.

Chai looked at the latter confused. Kongpob looked back at him with pleading eyes and shaking his head slightly.

"He is?" Arthit asked, confused at the two men's behaviour.

"Oh... that's... That's nothing. Well, I need him for the moment. Please excuse us," Chai said as he asked Kongpob to follow him.

Kongpob looked at Arthit who gave a toothy smile to him making the latter smile too.

Arthit waved at Kongpob who only smiled at him. Arthit watched the two men disappear from his sight. He understood that the guy was a little shy based on the fact that he didn't speak to him but that made Arthit like him more.

But he could help but think about the relationship between Chai and Kongpob. Well, he'll find that out soon.

*****

"What was that? Why didn't you allow me to say that you couldn't speak?" Chai asked Kongpob. They were in the restroom.

Kongpob rolled his eyes and lifted his hands in an 'I don't know' motion.

"What do you mean that you don't know? You always tell whoever you approach you that you can't speak," Chai asked fused.

Kongpob sighed. He moved his hands in a sign language talking to Chai.

' I don't know okay? I just don't want him to know that I can't speak and look at me with that pity filled eyes.'

"Really? Who's he for you to be so concerned about?" Chai questioned.

Kongpob looked down at his foot, trying to find an answer for it. He doesn't know the reason but he didn't want Arthit to look at him with pitiful eyes.

When Arthit had come to talk to him he couldn't believe what was happening. He thought that it was all a dream. No one ever came to him and started a conversation without hatred in their voice. He was always bullied due to his incapability to speak. Everyone teased him but Arthit, he was different.

Kongpob felt safe when Arthit was there with him. Just seeing that dimpled smile made his stomach do summersault. Arthit's voice was soo sweet and calming. The latter always had a smile on his face making him feel that he should smile often too.

"Kong?" Chai called out.

Kongpob looked up at him and signed, ' Don't ask me. I don't know why but I just don't want him to see me differently.'

Chai narrowed his look at Kongpob. He saw how Kongpob tried to avoid his gaze, the faint blush in his cheeks.

"Do you love him?" Chai smirked at the younger man.

Kongpob's eyes widened. He hit Chair's hand in protest and signed that he was not.

"Yeah, yeah, I get it," Chai laughed.

"Anyway, I'll not tell him anything about this. But one advice, say your feelings soon because there are many who are waiting to catch him. He's eye candy," Chai laughed when Kongpob glared at him.

Chai then smiled softly at the younger male and brought his hand up to caress his head.

"Stay healthy Kong. Study well, remember, even if we're not the same blood you're a brother to me. I love you and I care for you. Don't overwork, instead enjoy these years. College is the only place you can enjoy the most," Chai advised.

Kongpob smiled back and nodded his head.

Kongpob's mind was still occupied by Arthit. He never thought that the feelings inside him were something related to love. He only clicked it when Chai mentioned about it. Thinking about it.

Does he really love Arthit?

Is he deserving enough to love someone like Arthit? Is he worthy enough?
