The Next Prince, Chapter 33 pg3
“I feel the power. Thank you all so much for this collaboration.” Khanin lowered his hands that had been applauding, acknowledging the excellent insights of Jirat and Mira, while turning to offer a sweet smile to the leader of the Phitakthewa clan, who had not expressed any opinions until now.
“There's something I need to say beforehand. I agree with everyone about the race order, but when it comes to the actual race, if the opponent is Petai from Team Puchongpisut, then... I request to fence against him myself.” The murmurs persisted, capturing the attention of all eyes, including those seated on the chairs, including Khanin, who sat on the chairman's seat.
“May I ask why?” Khanin asked, lowering his gaze slightly with a hint of unease. He was trying to hold back, the brewing frustration pulsating in his mind. Just as he was about to dismiss the image of the slender, handsome man from his memory, it resurfaced vividly in his recollection.
That person is the one who often stands beside Ramil.
“Because I've known him for a long time.” Charan replied in a calm tone.
“Oh... Have you known each other for a long time?” Ratchanikun stretched his words, but Charan's response did not alleviate the lingering doubts. Khanin felt like he was being swayed by the apprentices. He wanted to scold himself for asking such a question, but another part of him thought... This is important information for the team.
Yes... He is doing it for the team.
Then I have the right to ask further.
“Since Petai was still a student... At a certain point, he was a student of 'Morpheus,' we were close enough. Petai is difficult to understand, too. He has received recognition from the best coaches in the country. In this place, it's only me who knows him the best.” Charan's face turned serious. His sharp eyes looked heavy and intense, leading others in the team to pause.
Itti attempted to say something but ultimately remained silent. Because the person sitting on the chairman's seat didn't seem willing to let Petai's topic pass easily.
“Well... Can I say that only Phii Ran understands him?”
“Yes.”
Khanin raised his calm face, unsure why he had to drag out the words in such a manner, but he couldn't stop himself. Perhaps it was a way to vent the turmoil in his heart.
Knowing each other for a long time, they were close allies. Oh... So he came later...
Despite going through life and death together, it must be acknowledged that Charan wasn't born on this earth, it's just him. Even though the other side might have many other societies in Emmaly that he was not familiar with.
But it's a bit disappointing. When he realized that he himself only had Charan from the moment he stepped foot in this country.
“Oh... In this case... People who have known each other for a long time, those who know each other best, have to compete against each other, right?” He did not want to stir up trouble, but the words slipped out. Khanin also wondered why he felt this way, or perhaps it was because of the dream he had when he stayed at Jirat's house...
Dreaming of hearing Charan whispering in his ear... saying.
“I like you.”
“I like you, Nin.”
He thought that he had already composed himself and would eventually forget it on his own, that it was just a dream, but it stubbornly refused to fade away...
Just hearing that Charan has known some people for a long time, and he knows them so well that he asked to be their competitor, despite normally refusing to face someone head-on, almost makes my heart itch and whispers something in my mind that shouldn't be said.
It's not a good feeling to have to restrain oneself, but the more you restrain, the wider it expands. The confidence I used to have has diminished along with the sense of self-importance that I thought was the most valuable.
I don't want Charan to give anyone false hope, I don't want him to be close to anyone other than himself...
It's longing...
Longing occurs when we like something so much that we don't want to share it with anyone.
Do I really like Charan?
Khanin understands his own feelings as well as anyone, after analyzing all his past actions and discovering a new definition of feelings towards Charan.
However, he has not jumped to conclusions. Because he doesn't want to make a mistake in this relationship.
Charan hasn't done anything wrong, it's not wrong to know or be close to someone before meeting him. After all, we have our own lives, and in the past, it has been shown that he has done many things for Charan, from taking care of him to protecting him. Even going beyond his assigned duties, it has been proven that he is no less important than anyone else.
Khanin took a deep breath. Although his heart was pounding like a maniac.
His round eyes gaze at the tall figure that looks back at him with concern.
It feels like a cool breeze has entered the heart. It's just like that.
Because I like him, I long for him... so much that I almost become an unreasonable person.
“Ah... then let's do it, let Phii Ran compete with Petai like that.” A smile and a soft voice from Young Prince Khanin, making everyone who was hanging on to the clear and explicit display of longing and hesitation breathe a sigh of relief.
Itti wiped away sweat secretly. Chakri exhales, probably the only one who couldn't see clearly that the questions asked only made Young Prince explode.
It's not obvious at all that the bewildered boy is dying, that stubborn pebble. Itti, who was watching from the beginning, can only shout in his heart.
Young Prince Khanin is amazing, better at handling his own emotions than some actors who know each other too well. Jirat nodded with admiration.
