My Moon, Chapter 33 pg 3
“Everyone, listen up…”
“Ughhh… Panli’s definitely coming this way! Will Dad and Bro make it in time to block him?”
“Damn it, Red Water! Why are you hyping it up like this?”
Klai admitted he was so excited he couldn’t speak, but the bickering between Phii Real and Phii Hia managed to draw a laugh from him.
“Okay, okay… Everyone, listen up.” Everyone snapped to attention, staring at Real.
“Once Klai heads to stand by near the stage, all the lights in the shop will go out, except for the spotlight on the stage. When Klai steps onto the stage, the restaurant’s lights will come back on. As soon as the lights are back on… Panli’s friends, you can go to his table.”
“Got it, Phii,” Panli’s close friends responded.
“Then Klai will sing. After he finishes the song, he’ll ask Panli to be his boyfriend… and everyone, help chant, ‘Say yes, say yes!’”
“Even if no one chants, that guy’s gonna say yes anyway, right?”
“Do you even understand the concept of setting the mood, you toilet water?!”
“…”
“If you interrupt again, I’ll smack your mouth.”
At this point, it wasn’t just Klaijai who couldn’t help but smirk—it was so funny that everyone burst out laughing.
“Alright! Everyone, get to your positions…” Phii Real said before turning to him. “…And Klaijai, come with me.”
Phii Real grabbed his hand, leading him away from the area. Klaijai glanced at everyone starting to scatter to their designated spots. However, the muffled grumbling from someone behind made him turn to look. He saw Phii Hia walking with his head down, following the two of them, muttering…
“Real just walks off without saying anything, leaving me standing there confused all alone.”
Thud!
At that moment, Phii Real abruptly stopped walking and turned to look back, letting out an exasperated sigh before using his free hand to grab Phii Hia’s hand as he came to a stop beside them.
“You’re such a hassle, you toilet water!”
Phii Real spoke before leading both him and Phii Hia to stop beside the stage. Klaijai let out a breath as he took the microphone from Phii Real. He swallowed hard and took a deep breath…
“Little Klai...” Phii Hia said with a smile, giving him two thumbs up. “...You sing so beautifully.”
Klai burst out laughing before replying, “I haven’t even sung yet, Phii Hia.”
“That’s the thing... it’s definitely beautiful. Trust Phii Hia. If even I’m confident that little Klai sings beautifully, you’ve got to be confident in yourself too.”
“Thank you, Phii Hia,” Klai responded, flashing a smile at him.
“Talking all wise and meaningful, huh, red water?”
“Please, Real, don’t fall for this side of me.”
“You jerk...” Phii Real laughed before continuing, “...The lights in the restaurant are about to go out, Klai.”
“Yes, Phii Real.”
“Get ready.”
Klai nodded in response to Phii Real, then smiled at Phii Hia, who kept encouraging him.
“Little Klai, you got this!”
At that moment, every light in the restaurant, Your Sky, went out, leaving only the stage illuminated. Klai stepped onto the stage, glancing at the restaurant’s band. The bassist, guitarist, and drummer, positioned at their spots, greeted him with friendly smiles. Klai returned their smiles and walked to the center of the stage.
In the next moment, Your Sky lit up again. Klai revealed a sweet smile when he saw Panli standing with his arms crossed in front of the stage. Since he wasn’t too far away, Klai could see his beloved’s bright smile.
However, the sudden appearance of dozens of close friends caused Panli’s bright smile to fade. Panli’s eyes widened in surprise as he pointed at the group of friends. Klai took in the warm atmosphere for several minutes before raising the microphone to his lips...
“Uh... hello, everyone.”
Everyone in the restaurant, including Panli, fell silent and listened attentively.
“...”
“So... today, I am here to borrow Your Sky to surprise someone by asking them to be my boyfriend.”
“Woo~”
Klai smiled shyly when he heard the teasing cheers from Panli’s close friends and several seniors. But Phii Hia’s words made him burst out laughing.
“Who’s little Klai asking to be his boyfriend, huh?... Is it Panli?”
“Yes... I am here to ask Panli to be my boyfriend.”
“Haha, look at that guy Panli losing it!”
“The puppy’s totally losing it, man!”
Klai smiled and laughed as he watched the big puppy rub the back of his neck and flip off the group of friends teasing him loudly. Then, he turned back to give Klai his full attention again.
“But before I ask Panli to be my boyfriend…”
“…”
“I want to dedicate a song to you first.”
After finishing his sentence, Klai turned to look at Phii Real, who was standing by the stage. Phii Real nodded and signaled the band. At that moment, the sound of a guitar began to play, joined by other instruments, forming the melody of the song “More Than Love.”
Klai watched the big puppy get even more flustered, drawing another round of teasing from his friends. He thought Panli must have heard this song before, and Klai believed it perfectly conveyed all the feelings he had for Panli.
It was a feeling from the very beginning…
“Since the day I met you, as far as I can remember, you’ve never once forgotten me.”
“…”
“I’ll admit, I never understood why you did what you did, because you’re so good it makes my heart… float away.”
“No need to ask, I know how much you love me. I’ve said it… I don’t know what words to use…”
“…”
“…until the feeling of love today.”
“No matter how much I say I love you, it’s probably not enough for me.”
“…”
