My Moon, Chapter 27 pg 3
glaijai: Get well soon, Professor!
MaMay: Get well soon, Professor Rain!
Rain: Thank you, ka.
After replying to the professor in the group chat, Klai exited the LINE app to call someone. He made a point to wake up extra early for both of them, besides waking up early for class. But since the professor canceled the morning class, he could talk to both without rushing.
Klai stood on the balcony, waiting for someone to pick up. He glanced back into the bedroom during that time. The tall figure sleeping soundly on the bed made him smile unconsciously.
[What’s up?]
“Phii Dom, are you free to talk right now?”
[Free, free. I can talk.]
Klai turned back toward the bedroom, leaning his hip against the balcony railing while looking at his “heart’s companion” before saying, “Phii Dom… I have found someone special now.”
[That Sua, right?]
“No, not that…”
[…]
“Not a tiger (Sua)… but a puppy.”
[Hah, figures!]
“…” Klai smiles when he hears his brother’s joyful laughter.
[Klai........]
“Yes, Phii Dom.”
[I’m happy for you...]
“...”
[From now on, be as happy as you can.]
“...”
[I’ll keep watching over you from afar, like this.]
“…”
[...And no matter what happens, I’ll always be by Klai’s side.]
It’s at this moment that Klai feels a sting at the tip of his nose. He presses his lips tightly together before saying, “Thank you, Phii Dom.”
[...]
“Thank you for everything.”
[...]
“If it weren’t for you, Phii Dom... I wouldn’t have fallen in love with Panli.”
[...]
“It’s because of you and Kant that I got to love Panli.”
The other end of the line falls silent for a moment. Klai listens to Phii Dom’s breathing before he speaks again...
[...So, Panli told you everything, huh?]
“Yes, Panli just told me the whole story last night.”
[Oh... so it was just last night.]
“...”]
[No wonder he hasn’t called to report to me yet.]
Klai chuckles softly before asking, “Does Panli usually call to report to Phii Dom all the time?”
[If there’s some progress, Panli would call and tell me about it. Like when Klai confessed at the beach, Panli called to tell me.]
“…”
[...And then I’d call Kant to tell him, and that guy’s always been cheering for Klai.]
When Klai heard this sentence from Phii Dom, the message from Kant that he once sent via LINE, “So happy, really, man,” popped back into his head. He had known about it all along and was always rooting for Klai. Both of them made him feel even luckier.
“After I hang up with Phii Dom, I will call Kant.”
[Okay, then I probably don’t need to call and tell Kant about this, since you will probably tell him himself.]
“Yes…” Klai pursed his lips slightly before continuing, “Phii Dom… can you help me with something?”
[Sure, what does you want me to help with?]
“Last night, I promoted Panli to be my closest person, but I haven’t promoted him to be my boyfriend yet.”
[…]
“Because I want to promote him to boyfriend in a special, really special way.”
[…]
“So, I’d like to consult with Phii Dom about how to make it special.”
[…]
“Maybe even make him so shy he’s completely flustered.”
The other end of the line let out a soft laugh before saying…
[If you want to make him so shy he loses it, I think it’s not enough to just say you’re promoting him to boyfriend.]
“…”
[But you have to ask Panli to be your boyfriend yourself.]
Klai couldn’t help but smile when he heard Phii Dom’s words. He had thought he’d just throw a New Year’s party and invite Panli’s friends, then announce his promotion to boyfriend. But he felt that doing just that wouldn’t match all of Panli’s efforts. So, he wanted to seek advice from someone with experience first.
And Phii Dom’s suggestion painted a picture in Klai’s mind, which already made him feel shy on Panli’s behalf. Because he thought he’d be super embarrassed saying, “Panli… let’s be boyfriends,” in front of his friends.
“I think this method will work.”
[Then it’s all good… Does you have class today?]
“Yes, I have class at noon.”
[What time do you finish?]
