My Moon, Chapter 8 pg 3
Even though he doesn’t see Moon every day,
Klai never thinks of them any less.
And Moon continues to be his source of encouragement…
“Why is you eating alone, kha?”
“I just finished practicing the khim and walked over from the Faculty of Fine Arts building, so I stopped to eat alone. My friends are still working on their assignments at the faculty building.”
“Oh, I see.”
Klai tried to hold back a smile when he saw the other nod and give a small smile while looking at him. “So… is you eating alone?”
“No, khap… I’m eating with Chubby Cheeks, Phii Fah, and Phii Fah’s friend.”
Panli nodded toward the left. When Klai looked in that direction, he saw the owner of those chubby cheeks he adored, resting their cheek on Phii Fah’s arm, probably acting all clingy. But when Klai turned back to the person sitting across from him, he saw Moon, who had been staring at him for who knows how long, giving a faint smile.
“KhunKlai…”
“Yes, kha, I mean, yes?”
“Earlier, Chubby Cheeks asked me to tell you that...”
This kind of look…
…playful but filled with warmth.
“…”
“He misses you a lot.”
Boom!
He never imagined… that Theerak words would be relayed through Moon, could be so powerful that it made his heart explode into pieces within him.
In truth… it wasn’t the longing from Theerak that attacked his heart. It was the messenger themselves who obliterated his little heart into ruins.
“I… I miss Theerak too.”
Yes… I miss Theerak so much.
But in his heart, +1 more person.
Klai misses you, Sasin, so much.
“I’ll go tell Chubby Cheeks, kha.”
Klai nodded before continuing, “So why did you come sit with me?”
“I don’t want to see people being all lovey-dovey.”
“Panli’s talking about Phii Fah and Rak, right?”
“Yup~ I’m allergic to Rak.”
Klai’s guess was spot-on; those two were truly head over heels for each other. “Rak smells so sweet, how can Panli say he stinks?”
The listener chuckled softly before asking, “What kind of sweet?” Moon said, sniffing the air as if catching a scent. “...I like the smell of your perfume, maybe?”
“Panli, you can smell my perfume too?” Klai asked, trying to keep his composure. Realizing Panli noticed his fragrance sent his heart into a shy frenzy.
“Yeah... it’s so fragrant. Just a slight movement from you and I catch it.”
“And do you like?”
“...”
Klai’s eyes widened in shock as he realized his question was rather ambiguous. He waved both small hands frantically before saying, “W-Wait, I didn’t mean it like that, Panli!”
“...”
“I meant... do you like this kind of scent? If you don’t, I’ll sit a bit farther so it doesn’t make you dizzy.”
Moon gave a small smile, then lowered his gaze to his plate. Klai let out a quiet sigh, scolding himself for asking something so awkward in his embarrassment.
Panli kept his head down, poking at his rice with a spoon, before saying, “I like it... I like this kind of scent.”
And Panli’s equally awkward response made Klai’s freshly pieced-together heart explode into pieces again.
“So...” Moon looked up, meeting his eyes, and asked, “What kind of scent does you like?”
“Uh...”
“Something like this?”
Klai’s eyes widened again as the other’s large hand, just released from the spoon, extended toward him, as if offering the back of his smooth hand for a sniff of his perfume. Klai was so flustered he didn’t know what to do. He wrinkled his nose and shook his head lightly to decline.
“Tricking me into sniffing... I’m not doing it.”
Panli burst out laughing and pulled his hand back. “Fine, no sniffing. But you didn’t have to make such a cute face about it.”
Klai didn’t respond. He chose to lower his head and scoop rice into his mouth instead. Being complimented by his crush made him insanely shy:: flushed. But as something occurred to him, he looked up at the other.
“Panli… I’ve washed your shirt already. I brought it with me today, but the parking lot is really far, so I was thinking…”
