"He's here! He's here! Wow! He's soo handsome today!"

Screams and cheers were heard as they watched the young man leaning on the Mercedes GLS as he talked to a girl.

"Krist! Krist!" The girls giggled when they saw the two walk in their direction, hand in hand.

"Don't squeal too much, Namtan might eat our heads later." A girl nudged her friend.

"Gosh! I can't believe that a famous singer like Krist is having a relationship with that snake." The other girl glared.

"What can we do? Namtan is from a well-known family, we can't piss her off."

Krist annoyingly stared at his so-called girlfriend who was clinging onto his arm.

"Namtan, leave my hand." Krist snarled but Namtan pretended that she didn't hear anything.

Krist rolled his eyes, noticing the unnecessary attention they were receiving from all the students, it was making him uncomfortable.

"I told you, just leave me alone Namtan! Just give me some peace here!" Krist grumbled under his breath, occasionally smiling and waving with his free hand at his fans who smiled at him respectfully.

"Come on Kit! Don't be soo grumpy, I'm your lover." Namtan leaned her head on Krist's shoulder.

Krist clenched his teeth. Lover? Were they?

Namtan never cared about him, yet she has the audacity to call themselves lovers. If not for his parents he would have long dumped the girl beside him. But he still doubted the girl would leave him alone even if he pushes her away.

"Namtan, stop acting as if you are in love with me." Krist snapped when they reached the locker hallway.

"But I love you, Kit!" Namtan pouted and the action made Krist mad.

"No, you don't! You already ruined my life since high school! I'm begging you to stop this nonsense! Let me live my university days in peace!" Krist clutched his fingers in a fist in anger.

Namtan's pout vanished from her lips as a devilish smile look over. Her whole expression turned dark. She took a step towards Krist and wounded her arm around his shoulder. Krist just stared back at her, daring her to speak the words which he knew was coming.

"Don't be silly, Kit." Namtan placed her forehead on Krist's shoulder while the singer just stayed like a rock.

"Namtan gets what she wants and Krist Perawat is one of it. You know you shouldn't mess with me, singer. You do remember Jenna, right babe?"

Krist gulped. He closed his eyes trying to control the anger that was building up in him.

"And don't forget about your mom. She's soo fond of me that she only wants me to be your life partner." Namtan smirked as she pulled away.

She straightened Krist's tie and patted his shoulder not being bothered by the hard stoned glare directed towards her. She smiled.

"Know that behind this singer you have become, my dad has a big part in it."

Krist's breath hitched, he felt a pang in his heart hearing what Namtan said. Namtan smirked getting the reaction she wants. This always works on the famous young singer.

"And we are lovers in front of the public and it'll stay like that forever." Namtan leaned her face closer to Krist, tiptoeing to reach Krist's lips as the latter didn't make any effort to move closer.

Namtan closer her eyes as her lips were just inches away from the singer's.

"Aw! I'm sorry!"

Namtan and Krist turned their heads towards the direction of the sound, accompanied by a series of books falling on the floor.

"Can't you see that we're having some serious talks here!? Bitch!" Namtan glared at the male who was now on the floor gathering his books.

"Namtan!" Krist glared at her for her behaviour but the girl just ignored it.

"I'm really sorry," the person stood up and apologised. The latter waied and walked past them to his locker.

Krist stared at the grey hooded man, he could see the glasses the other wore but couldn't make out his face due to the hood over his head.

"Anyway, I'm going to my block. See you at lunch, babe." Namtan smiled and leaned to peck his cheek beside she left the hallway.

Krist groaned, running a hand on his hair as he leaned on his locker. Sometimes he wished he has never dreamed to be a singer.

"You okay?"

Krist looked up to find the hoodie guy staring at him concerned, he still couldn't make out the latter's features properly. The only source of light for the hallway was from the opened windows.  He forced a smile and nodded his head.

"Our class will start soon, come fast. It's Prof. Suda's class. Don't wanna hear her nag, don't you?" The guy stated making Krist chuckle. He watched as the guy just leave the hallway like that.

Krist stared at the guy surprised, how did this guy know about his class?

Krist just shrugged his shoulders before he arranged his locker and followed the path the guy earlier walked away.

He was already late when he reached the campus since he has a radio interview at 7 in the morning. By the time he reached the campus, Namtan made him waste his time by boasting about her relationship with him. It's been four months since he entered the university in business major, e thought everything will be okay as he enters university, that he'll get his own space. And yet every day was stressful for him, his life was a mess.

From other's view, his life was perfect. He had a perfect carrier, good family and his love life were wonderful.

But no one knew the truth behind everything. About how he was forced to be in a relationship with Namtan due to a framed and well-planned misunderstanding.

Among all this, his music career in the industry was his source of relaxation. His own safe heaven. Composing songs and filming MVs and giving interviews or any other work always pushed him away from the harsh reality of his life and he's glad that he could at least feel at peace at one corner of his life.

"Hey, Krist! You okay?"

Krist snapped his gaze towards his best friend, Ice, who was stared at him worried. Krist looked around and that's when he realised he was standing at the entrance of his class. Krist gave a nervous smile to his friend as he nodded his head.

"I heard Nam caused a ruckus again", Ice said as they both sat down on their seats. He chuckled when he heard the girls in the class giggle at Krist who was trying his best to maintain a good expression.

"Don't remind me about it," Krist shook his head as he placed his bag on the foot of his table, taking a seat on his chair. Ice chuckled, he went back into the notes the professor has taken in the previous class and started reading on it.

Krist sighed as he opened his book and then placed a pen in the middle, all ready for the class. He smiled politely at the girls who were looking at him making their squeal, some were even taking short videos. It's been four months still all of them behave as if they're seeing Krist for the first time.

Krist's eyes slowly roamed across the class, until it stopped on the familiar figure at the far end corner of the class, near the window, reading the notes in the book in front of him.

Krist recognised the latter as the person who he encountered in the locker hallway. He tried to get a glimpse of the face but the latter was looking down, and he was a few tables away from him.

He's surprised that he never noticed that boy even after studying in the same class for over a few months.  No wonder the guy knew about the class schedule.

Krist looked up when the professor came in. He cleared his throat and focused on the professor who has already started with the lecture. Prof Suda was one of the strict teachers he had ever seen, she's all about lectures and marks.

Krist bit his lips as he found an urge to look back towards the last table to find if he could see the latter's face.

Just something about the guy made him curious. Maybe it's because of their first interaction.  Other than his family or close friends, others always looked up at him as a celebrity, being extra excited to see him or even talk to him. But that guy was different, he talked to him like any human would to his fellow being and it made him feel secure.

"Singto! Stand up!"

Krist jolted, he cursed himself for zoning out. He looked back with the other students to see who the professor has called. His breath hitched when he saw the person who pulled down his hood from the face. Why did he never know his name?

"Is my face inside that book?! Look at me when I speak and note down what I say! Don't plaster your face inside that book!" Prof. Suda glared at the latter.

Krist's eyes were glued on the honey skinned guy with glasses and shoulder-length hair. His eyes fell on the thin pink lips which the latter was biting.

"Sorry Professor."

Krist bit his lips when he heard the latter's soft voice again. He watched as the latter pulled up his glasses before sitting down. Krist could hear the professor continuing with the lecture but he was glancing back to the face, especially those eyes under the glasses. Something about those eyes was making him curious, he could see an expressive eye under those glasses and it was somehow bothering his mind.

"Kit, focus. Next, it will be you," Ice nudged his friend.

Krist snapped out of his thoughts, he gave a last glance at the emotionless face of his classmate before he focused on the lecture.
