Porsche's P.O.V:
I walked into the living room and sat down on the sofa.
Tem finished showering and walked out of the bathroom while drying his hair.
"Are you sure you don't want to talk to Kinn anymore?" Tem asked as soon as he sat down next to me.
Then put the towel aside.
"He came to the bar looking for you last night...I told him what you asked me to say but are you sure this is really a good idea?" He asked.
I leaned my head back and closed my eyes.
"You're acting really strange it's the first time I've seen you so stressed" He said.
"I'll be fine" I said.
"Look...I don't know what happened but I could easily tell that Kinn also misses you so why don't you just talk it out?" He asked.
"That's the problem...I've become so dependent on his presence I don't even recognise myself anymore...I don't want to be like that anymore" I said.
He patted my shoulder.
"I want to be of use too...I don't want to live life thinking about what will happen to me if he's not around so I can't see him until I'm sure that I'm finally back on my feet" I said.
"I still think that you should just talk to him...I could easily tell that he loves you just by listening to his voice" Tem said.
"I can leave if you don't want me here" I said.
"What nonsense is that? You're welcome to stay as much as you want" He said.
Then stood up.
"I made breakfast...Let's go eat I still need to go to work you know" He said.
I stood up and followed him.
"Did you find a job yet?" I asked as soon as I sat down.
"Well...Not really...I like freelance stuff more...Besides the bar job is just fine I live by myself you know" He said.
I nodded and we started eating.
"I heard that your problem with employment got solved...That's great news...Did you get an official contract yet?" He asked.
"Not yet...I didn't get the chance considering everything that has been going on" I said.
"Well...Good luck then" He said.
"Thank you" I said.
Then we started eating silently.
(Three weeks later)
Porchay's P.O.V:
I was in the locker room with Macau.
The vacation ended and we were back for the second semester.
But there was something wrong with Macau...He looked strangely tired.
I put a hand on his shoulder.
"Are you alright?" I asked.
He nodded.
"Yeah I'm fine just a little tired that's all" He said.
"Did you get a job too?" I asked.
He pursed his lips into a thin line and nodded.
"What do you work then? I have a job too and it doesn't make me half as tired as you look now" I said.
"It's not something horrible don't worry I just play some cello in parties like weddings and engagement proposals and business opening parties...I asked a friend of mine to introduce me to an event planning company and I've been snatching most of the offers" Macau said.
Then smiled and ruffled my hair.
"You don't have to worry about me I'm fine...The job pays well too so it's worth the trouble" He said.
I wasn't sure about that though...He looks like he might collapse any second.
"You should really go back home and get some rest" I said.
"I'm fine it's the first week of the second semester you know I should at least keep a good attendance record" He said.
Then slung an arm over my shoulder and we walked over to class.
He sat down and rested his head on the desk.
Halfway through the lecture I noticed that he was frowning with his eyes closed.
I noticed that he had sweat on his forehead too.
"Macau?" I asked as I shook his shoulder.
But I accidentally shook his shoulder a little too hard and he fell off alobg with his chair.
"MACAU" I yelled in panic.
The teacher stopped his lecture and turned to us.
"Everyone stay back and give him space to breathe" The teacher said.
Everyone moved away as I put Macau's head on my lap.
The teacher took out a sanitiser bottle and sprayed some on his hand before moving it under Macau's nose.
After sometime Macau finally opened his eyes.
"Porchay...Take him to the clinic" The teacher said.
I nodded and Macau stood up slowly then I took him to the clinic.
After sometime he was laying down on the bed.
"How long have you been working like that?" I asked.
"A month" He said.
"You look worse then I remember...Have you been ignoring meals along with sleep?" I asked.
"I do eat...Just not as much as before" He said.
"How many parties do you go to in a day?" I asked.
"Depends" He said.
"So like...Four or five hours?" I asked.
"Sixteen hours" He said.
"In a day? Macau? Are you crazy? That's asking for death" I said angrily.
"And money" He said.
Then turned on his side.
"I have a headache let me sleep" He said.
"How much do you get?" I asked.
"Ranging between a thousand baht to ten thousand are you happy?" He snapped.
"How much did you make in that month?" I asked.
"A hundred thousand" He said.
I pursed my lips into a thin line.
"Introduce me to that person too" I said.
He turned to face me again.
"The fuck are you talking about?" He asked frowning.
"I want to help too so I want that same job you're working...Two heads are better then one right? That way we can make money faster" I said.
He opened his mouth to say something.
"I can play the piano too you know...I think that's good enough to pass in a classy gathering" I said.
"I don't know if that's a good idea but you should probably give it a rest" He said.
Then closed his eyes to sleep.
I walked out of the room to let him rest.
(Later that night)
Kim's P.O.V:
I was on my way back home after my shift at the bar.
My phone started ringing and I saw that it was one of my colleagues at the bar so I picked up.
"Yes?" I asked.
"I met a YouTube influencer who said that his agency is interested in your song..." My colleague explained.
"Count me in" I said.
Then hurried back home.
I put away my guitar and went to shower then ate before sitting down to watch TV.
The doorbell rang so I went to open.
"P'Kim" Porchay said and hugged me as soon as I opened the door.
"What's wrong?" I asked as soon as he let go of me.
"Macau isn't ok...He's really sick P'Kim he fell unconscious in class today" He said.
"Come in" I said then led him inside and closed the door behind him.
"We should do something...We can't go on like that" He said.
Arm Pol and Big started coming home late every night and Tankul started coming home once in a while.
Kinn started taking every case he can get at the small firm he opened here and Vegas sent us money from the law firm he works at in the states.
Macau's job too...
All that got us ten million baht so we had thirty six million baht now out of fifty.
"Porchay...There's something I need your help with" I said.
"Of course" He said.
"Tomorrow...You should come with me somewhere...If this works fine I should be able to get more then five million baht" I said.
"What kind of job?" He asked.
"A YouTube contract" I said.
Then explained to him what my colleague told me.
"So they offered to make an official video of your song?" Porchay asked.
"Yes" I said.
Then took his hand in mine.
"They told me that I should come up with a concept myself though so how about we do this together?" I asked.
"So let me get this straight...You've finally found someone who wants to buy your song?" Porchay asked.
"Yes Porchay...Someone officially offered to buy it" I said smiling.
He hugged me and started jumping excitedly.
"That's great news P we should definitely go" He said as soon as he let go of me.
I smiled and nodded.
"But you have to convince Macau to quit his job too this isn't right" He said.
"He won't listen to me he's stubborn" I said.
"He fell unconscious P'Kim and he looks so sickly now" He said.
"I'll tell Tankul to talk to him" I said.
"What does P'Tankul do anyway?" He asked.
"Ummm...Chess competitions" I said.
"Huh?" Porchay asked.
"Well...You probably won't believe it but since young Tankul has been an expert in playing chess" I said.
"Like how much of an expert?" He asked.
"Hmmm...Like going on TV to beat someone on a public chess tournament" I said.
"Wow" He said.
He sounded really surprised so I chuckled and shook my head.
"I never thought" Porchay said.
"He was a top student throughout his entire life no one managed to beat him in anything be it academics or chess...He was never into sports though" I said.
Porchay chuckled and shook his head.
"That I believe" He said.
(The next day)
Kinn's P.O.V:
I went to the bar to see Tem but he wasn't there.
When I asked P'Yok where he was she said that he was on a vacation.
I rubbed my temples in an attempt to ease my upcoming headache.
"Thank you" I said.
Then bought some beer and left the place.
"So Tem tricked you huh?" Tae asked as soon as I walked out of the bar.
I nodded.
"Don't worry...I know where we can find Tem" Time said.
Then started driving.
