"1...2...3..."
NEungdiao counted and then jumped from a narrow gap in the fence in the school's rarely used side gate area. Then he fell into the other boy's arms. The close proximity and the soft sound of his breathing caused his jaw to stretch visibly. Palm hugged Neungdiao to his lap , just tight enough. The two looked at each other for a moment before Palm dropped him to the ground.
"Are you okay in this school?"
"Nobody cares. Today the school is having father's day."
He replied , turning his head to look at the front gate. His school is a branch of China , so it will hold activities similar to them on the 3rd sunday of june according to chinese culture. This activity is also nothing , just meet the owner and talk. Earlier , he asked uncle Supakit Chopper's father to come. But this year won't he tired of pretending for so long
"Where do you want to go khun noo?" Palm asked confused
He turned around with an irritated expression "How long do you like to call me khun noo. Do you like being my servant?"
In fact , he did not want to , it was just the situation that led to this step "Sorry"
Neungdiao could only speak while sighing , his tone full of fatigue. "You can call me Nueng , today i invite you to hang out as a friend."
"Its better to call Neungdiao"
"Dont add khun noo at the end."
"Where does Neungdiao want to go?"
Palm asked in low voice. Neungdiao raised an eyebrow , raised his hand and hailed an oncoming taxi.
"Let me go to the subway station."
After arriving , Neungdiao talekd to his 'friend' as he walked. In fact , he passed by here every day , but he never stood there
"Neungdiao has never taken the train?"
"So what?"
He said back with a grimace. Chanon's son has only been in Bangkok for 2 weeks and has already taken the train. It's because her mother told Neungdiao that it's not safe to take public transport , so she has to let Chanon go wherever he goes
"Where is Neungdiao going?"
Palm turned his head and asked , the two of them standing with a long list of stations in front of them. Neungdiao had already found the destination , so he searched by name and bough a ticket. Meanwhile the other teenager was watching his surroundings cautiously. Neungdiao saw that and said sarcastically
"No one is coming to kill us."
But he pretended not to care , continuing to act as if he was looking for someone. Neungdiao clicks the list of all the stations on the site
"Come here and put a coin"
Neungdiao eagerly put coins into the box. Although the ticket purchase can be pain with QR , he prefers to be paid for the first time in his lif. The stern faced boy involuntarily turned to look at him and smiled
"What are you laughing at?" Neung pouted
"Nothing. Just surprised , didn't expect Neugndiao to be so excited."
Palm is honest. This made Neungdiao sigh. He thought about his own life , which was confined in a cramped cage
" I haven't even reached 7 eleven yet."
While buying tickets and talking , Palm quickly ran after him. Fortunately , friday afternoon is not too crowded , everything is directed right in front of you , so let the other party do whatever they want. After taking the train tickets for both of them , Nueng walked away hurriedly
"Nueungdiao , go slow."
"Don't act like a bodyguard. Think of you as my friend. You keep looking around like people think you're stealing."
He complained , but even so , Palm let everything blow through his ears , making Nueng bored. He ordered Palm to come with him , actually as a friend but in the end as a master and servant
"Stop it."
Nueng's elbow lightly nudged the other. But when touched , Palm's hand grabbed Neungdiao , pulled Neungdiao over , left hand pressed on body , causing Nueng to stop as an automatic response
"Are you a human or a fighting robot?"
Palm's face is now a little red for no reason. Was it because he was wrapped in the arms of a taller person or something else. And it's no big deal if the two are standing on the subway platform with countless glances all around
"Can you let go?" Nuengdiao coughed lightly.
The words brought Palm to his senses and let him go immediately. At the same time the announcement sounded , that the train was about to enter the station. Nuengdiao turned to look a bit , but Palm just lowered his eyes
"Dont arbitrarily hug other people in public , understand?"
.
.
"Let's take a look around a bit."
The security officer said. Right now , the two are standing in front of a not so high building. In that area , there was an abandoned skyscraper. Palm looked up , almost out of sight. Everything was bare , except for the xposed columns and ceilings , which were surprisingly barren and gray. The employee glanced slightly , not understanding what the other person was doing here. Nuengdiao didn't say anything , just gently took his ID card and pointed at the number
"Don't let anyone know i was here , okay?"
After finishing their words , the two boys greeted and opened to door to enter "My dad built it a long time ago , during the financial crisis."
Brief explanations came from the guid's mouth. Fortunately , it was near late afternoon , and the surrounding was not too lonely. A gentle breeze from the Chao Phraya River not far away blew to the tall grass dotted with barren land that was toppled by the wind. Palm looked around once and then back at the other person. He took off the bag or put it on his shoulder and held it in his hand , quietly following Nuengdiao into the deserted building
"Why does Nuengdiao wnat to come here?"
The stairs are high and steep , there are no railings , everything is empty , the connections are precarious and unsecured. Everything turns to suspicion. Palm questioned himself as Nuengdiao stepped up the stairs in front of him
"You will know."
Both slowly climb to a certain height. Nueng's school uniform was drenched , hugging his body tightly , revealing thin body
"Is it pretty?"
After arriving , Nuengdiao entered the balcony , went to the corner of the building. 2 meters from the edge of the unbuild building , and sat down. He looked at the scene in front of him , then turned back to his followers. The opposite light enveloped him , making him like a blurry picture between dream and awake , dream and reality
"All right."
Palm replied and sat down , leaving some space behind. Nueng turned to glance at the distance between them , then returned without saying anything , just looking at the scene of the Chao Phraya River in front of him. Time seems to stop. He gently buried his face in his arms as he watched the passing trains and moving people
"When my father was alive. He used to bring me here."
Nueng suddenly spoke up. I don't understand why there is a lump in my chest. If you don't say it out loud , it will explode. The scenery around him didn't change , only his feelings changed. Once full of life , now it has tasted bleak. Nuengdiao felt like he couldn't breathe , as if someone was covering his mouth in the closet at that time. He heard a loud gunshot , then his own cry
"At that time , my father told me to choose the floor and the corner that i liked the most. He would buy this building and renovate it into a new apartment. But in the end , he was shot and killed."
Nuengdiao didn't understand why he would say that to someone he wasn't close to who he'd only know for 3 weeks. He crossed his arms , his chest full of nostalgia for the deceased , a little bit of his mother , the mother of the past
"Im very sad."
Palm was silent at first , but then he walked over and put his hand on the other's shoulder , soft and tender ,and squeezed it gently . Palm really sympathizes with him
"I don't have my mother around either."
The boy's deep and rough voice spoke up. Nuengdiao did not turn around and continued to listen
"MY father divorced my mother a long time ago. I moved in with him after that and he worked in Bangkok. Although i called him many times but couldn't get through. I don't remember how long it happened , about 8 years. Because after finishing middle school , he didn't go home anymore , only transferred money back."
If you compare the time , it also coincides with the loss of your father. And palm also had to leave his father because Chanon became his mother's closest confidant. Nuengdiao turned to look at the boy next to him , sympathizing with the other person's situation
"Why didn't uncle Chanon let you come here in the first place?"
Palm was silent for a moment , then said "Dad said it was dangerous here. Right from the first day of middle school , he taught me martial arts , self defense , driving and shooting."
Palm really learned how to protect himself. The sound stopped for a moment because the person in front of him seemed to be crying in his heart. But the tears did not fall. Both are products of what their father expected and adorn them with the people their parents wanted to be. The tow of them had no answer to what they would be lik when they grow up
"I Din't ask why. Because my dad just gave me money and told me to take care of myself."
"So now do you know why?" Nuengdiao smiled softly
For a moment , he found himself lying on top of the boy in front of him "I think i get it." It was the first time Nuengdiao felt the hurt buried deep in the other's heart.
"Then let's be friends"
"Friend?"
"I say friends , i mean true friends."
.
.
My father must have known that Nuengdiao was skipping school." It was already 4 Pm , When they returned to the school fence.
"Where are you going next?"
"Ah , a friend in the club said there was a job recently."
Then he called a taxi back to that point a bit. It's a pretty old and old building. When he entered the parking lot , he saw Chanon's car parked there. Nuengdiao told the driver to go around the back and find an opportunity to sneak is so as not to be detected
"Does Nuengdiao drink cocoa?" Palm asked
After entering the lobby , the inside is quite spacious with quite a few couples dancing slowly to the beat of the music. the scene reminds viewers of 20 years ago. The people here are all no more than 56 years old. Haha
"I took a job playing the piano here , come visit first."
HE said Palm went to the corner of the dance floor because he didn't want them both to be the center of attention
"Why are you doing this Nueng?" The club manager asked "and?"
"You're rich , we can't afford it"
"I don't do it for the money."
He answered bluntly , before he could say anything more , a waiter wearing a bow came over. That person bought an entrance ticket and gave to both of them
"Do you know how to dance?"
Palm shook his head quickly. The stiff body made Nueng unable to see the smile. Chanon asked him to learn everything but it seem like entertainment is not?
"Have you ever studied music?'
"Not yet"
"Dance , ballet?"
"I dont know"
Neungdiao chuckled softly. I'm afraid this person's whole life is good at fighting , but he probably won't listen to music
"Come here , i will teach."
Nuengdiao took Palm's arm towards the dance floor without waiting for an answer. Palm stiffly resisted making him laugh , it's really fun to tease him
"I don't want to."
Palm replied emphatically , and Neungdiao turned back with a fierce look "It's fine for me to see from afar. Avoid other people approaching."
"You said you were a bodyguard. What if the person next to me shoots me with a gun?"
When Palm heard that , he was dumbfounded and didn't know how to refuse. But Neungdiao was quicker to drag him onto the dance floor. He lifted Palm's left hand and gripped his right hand. The other hand wrapped around his back and placed the other hand on the shoulder of the opponent.
"Don't worry about right or wrong , just focus on me. When i step left , you step back right and vice versa , i go back , you go forward. Just remember that. Don't care if it's wrong or right , just jump right. Move your body."
Nuengdiao spoke at length , as if he knew the rhythm. After the las sentence , the melody began to play. The stiff palm made Palm forget to breathe
He used his right hand to grip the other person , slowly pulling the consciousness of the person in front of him to focus on the present moment. The young man inhaled slowly and exhaled rhythmically. The palm of the hand is cold , wet then soft and finally relaxed
"1...2..3...4...5...6...7...8..."
Nuengdiao whispered the beat. They looked at each other as a signal to start
"Familiar with the new school?"
He asked in a whisper , his body still swaying to the bat , forgetting about the outside world. Even an arm's length away , he could feel the lightness of the air.
"Fine. But i just moved in so i don't have many friends."
The two teenagers involuntarily looked at each other , time seemed to stop. The feet move slowly to the rhythm
"I don't have friends either...at school."
Palm was silent. The song has been played. The dancers around bowed to each other and left. Only two people were left standing. Nuengdiao tried his best to say the proposal in his heart
"you move in to be my friend."
