The following morning, Paitoon woke up to find his timeline full of Phichit's parents stating that they divorced, was this a recent thing? His mind took him to Phichit, how was he holding up? He will have to come up with a plan to cheer him up.
He got ready for the day and went straight to the temple, it was his last day here so it was time for him to try and move on.
"Hey Nong, you're early today"
He smiled hearing that voice, it was Gan.
"Hello P'Gan, how are you today?"
"I'm fine, are you in a hurry?"
"Actually yes, i have to go find a job today"
"Ohoo, how admirable, good luck"
"Thank you"
The chatted for a while until Gan said he had somewhere to be. Paitoon made his way to the temple with all smiles, he was starting to consider Gan a friend.

At school, Phichit was the centre of attention. The announcement of his parent's divorce was like an explosion in the news and gossip blogs.
"Phichit, what happened?" Preed asks once the three of them were alone.
"Bro, my father seemed to be in a bad mood last night, he told my mother the full truth and this morning, she was gone with her things"
"Wow, so your father is now acting like a father than a businessman, i can't believe he did that" Earth says munching on a packet of chips.
They entered the class and sat at their seats.
"I used to think the two of them will be married forever when I was little but my mom is....not a nice person"
Preed and Earth share a look, the two had met their friend's mother just once and it wasn't pleasant, let's just say, Sirikit is an open homophobe.
"At least this is not happening during the divorce process you know" Preed says trying to lighten up the mood. Phichit nods and opens his textbook.
"Do you think Paitoon saw the blog?"

"I'm sorry but we're not hiring at the moment"
He sighed and nodded, this was the third time he has been turned down in a span of two hours. some said he lacked the experience and some weren't hiring, like this one.
He walked out of the small cafe and walked for a distance, next thing he knows he's in front of a huge school.
He watches the students walk around with their fancy uniform, wait, that uniform looks familiar.
"This is P'Phichit's school" he says and immediately turns around.
He's seen the dramas, a rich boy like Phichit falling for a poor girl, which this time is him and the whole drama between the poor guy being made fun of because he showed up here, he sighed and walked away.
A thought pops up in his mind. Will he and Phichit survive the whole ordeal of him being worthy to date Phichit?
Will they even have a happy ever after or was this a relationship where it ends along the way, he doesn't want that, although he's still young, he knows what he wants in a relationship, if it's temporary then he's out but if its true love....he'll fight for it.
He pulled out his phone and dialed Phichit's number.

"That is how you factorize an equation, any questions?" The teacher asks looking around the class.
As usual, the students weren't listening, too occupied by their mirrors and phones along with whispering.
Phichit felt his phone vibrate in his pocket and looked at the caller id, he smiled.
"Paitoon?" He whispered once he answered the phone.
"Are you busy? I'm in front of your school"
That was enough information for him to pack his things and walk out. Preed and Earth watched him as he walked out.
"Where do you think he's going to?" Earth whispered earning a shrug in response.
Preed leaned in on his ear.
"But i know what we'll do when class is over"
Earth felt himself blush.
"You had me last night, you still want to go?"
"You're too good to be saved for later my love"
His blush deepened and he squeaked when he felt a hand grip his inner thigh.
"You're such a pervert"

Phichit walked through the hallway towards the gate, he saw Paitoon pacing back and forth.
"Hey, what brings you here?"
Paitoon smiled and adjusted his backpack.
"I was in the neighborhood....were you in class?"
"Yeah but it was boring, what did you want?"
"I wanted to check on you, i saw the blogs and stuff"
Oh so he was worried, he decided to play along.
"Yeah its been rough, want to cheer me up?"
"Sure, i can treat you to a meal"
He smiled and walked out the school gate.
"Thanks, let's go"
Paitoon smiled as he walked along with Phichit. He felt warm and fuzzy just being near him, it felt...right.
"Do you want to hold hands?" Phichit asks out of the blue.
Paitoon gazed on the extended hand that was offered to him, he bit his bottom lip and held Phichit's hand.
'Good boy' thought Phichit. It will be no time until Paitoon agrees to be his boyfriend.
"So tell me about yourself, we hang out but i barely know you" he asks.
"Okay uhm....i like the colour red, i like water as in beaches, lakes, rivers, the whole package. I like shrimp and chillie noodles"
"I like shrimp too, i like the beach but hate lakes, i like the colour orange and i like spicy food in general"
Paitoon smirked.
"You like spicy food? I know just the place"
Phichit could feel the shorter boy's confidence grow because he was now swinging their intertwined hands.
"Is that where we are going?"
"Mn, you'll never forget this day...trust me"

Her heels tapped the floor like she owned the place, the white fur coat thrown over her shoulders was revealing her black tight dress, her hair pulled in a high ponytail and her lips glossy with red lipstick.
She chose the centre table and sat down. A minute passed and someone joined her.
"I'm glad you made it" she says removing her chanel sunglasses. The person infront of her smirks and nods.
"Whenever you call, I'll be here"
"That's what i like to hear, now do you have what i want?"
The person nodded and placed a brown envelope on the table. Her glossy lips formed a smirk.
"Thanks, this thing right here will be....the answer to all my problems"
