After passing through The Hell Week , twenty three candidates were urged to study the theory of special investigation curriculum. This section set them apart from those who initially aimed to participate in the Navy SEAL team. The survivors of Hell Week here ahd to understand every aspect of the investigation , including the combat tactics , the use of specialized equipment , and the fieldwork sessions , which were parts of a new curriculum specifically tailored for selecting DSI officials.
The candidates were required to relentlessly master both the theoretical and practical sections , not to mention absorbing the material in the textbook for the exam. Thanks to Singh for tutoring. Otherwise , they wouldn't be able to answer any of it at all. Tarn and Yai who could finish the exam quickly left the building and waited for everyone else.
"It's finally over." Tarn raised his voice while stretching left and right277Please respect copyright.PENANAiiJqgEvftG
"Over , my ass. We'll have to wait for the test result." Said Yai with a weary demeanor.
He was anxious about his answers in the exam paper. He wasn't good at theory and was unsure that the answer he jotted down was correct
GRAB!
Tarn squeezed on Yai's shoulder and pushed away
"In the tutoring last night , Singh said you did it well , so what to worry about?"277Please respect copyright.PENANAQNZb252VGl
"You know that i'm not good at this kind of stuff. If i was , i wouldn't bother you to teach me since grade seven."
He really sucked at studying. Even Tarn who didn't pay much attention in class , could understand the lesson better than him
"Just wait for the result and we'll talk about it later."277Please respect copyright.PENANAHXXaaRa7Jl
"I think you pass."277Please respect copyright.PENANAvX5YkoQUb7
"What makes you think that i'll pass?"277Please respect copyright.PENANAqBczVQKEFu
"I don't know. My personal extra sensory sense , i guess." Yai said light heartedly
Tarn laughed drily to Yai and quipped
"Then my extra sensory sense also tells me you pass too."
Even though Tarn didn't have much gut feeling towards this test result , he still managed to say to ease his brother up. He didn't want Phi Yai to worry.
"If i couldn't pull it off , but you could , you have to take good care of yourself , alright?"
He had given his word to aunt Kaew to look after Tarn well , but if he wasn't qualified for this job , he wouldn't be bale to repay her for saving his family. And if things happened to go down that way , Yai would have carried a burden of guilt for the rest of his life
"What's got into you? What's the point of making entrustment by now... The result hasn't even come out yet." Hurry much? "Also , i can take care of myself , phi. I don't need you to take care of me. I'm a fully blossomed grown ass adult already."277Please respect copyright.PENANAmGmCTiOHhv
"Never mind , i'm anxious. I'm stressed out."
Tarn glanced at his phi while shaking his head disdainfully. Why did Yai have to be so tense? Yai had unloaded his stress to Tarn a few more sentences , and the rest of their friends gradually came out from the building
"Yo , what's up The exam slayers. You had left before everyone else." Squinty Khem greeted them while approaching277Please respect copyright.PENANApdbv0WdA72
"Exam slayer , horse shit. I couldn't do it. That's why i left early." Retorted Yai277Please respect copyright.PENANA4JJcTSjXSz
Tarn turned to Phaya and asked "Hey , what about you?"277Please respect copyright.PENANAhaQGuBglwv
"Child's play." Answered Phaya with an impassive face , causing everyone else to wring their mouths in envy277Please respect copyright.PENANAUpoEu5aogJ
"Right , Khun Golden Boy.... You're all round capable at everything. I'm jealous. You're handsome , rich and top notch at combat. Can i ask , a flawless one like you doesn't have a girlfriend , seriously?" Khem asked jealously
Phaya curved up a smile as he put on a thoughtful expression for a second before saying with a warm tone
"Just a person i have feelings for..."
A gentle smile revealed after finishing his word. That smile caused Tarn to be stunned and feel hollow in the heart. However , he didn't bother to find out why. Tarn stood still and listened to Phaya and Khem's conversation in silence.
Other friend probed to see the lucky girl's photo that Phaya had a secret crush on , but Phaya refused so Thongthai came up with the idea to search for a photo in Phaya's wallet in the dorm. After hearing that ,everybody darted to the dorm with Phaya chasing after them , whining
Yai switched his gaze back to Tarn , who was standing inertly beside him. Yai threw a fist at Tarn's shoulder softly
"What's wrong? Standing still like your soul has left the body."277Please respect copyright.PENANAInwXvU9J67
Tarn feigned a smile at his phi "I'm just thinking about something."277Please respect copyright.PENANAFCQzdAepU3
"Let's go to the beach..."
Today was the last day of their stay. After the result came out and pinned the DSI emblem badge , they would part ways to their own work and would be too busy to come back here again
"What kind of mood are you in?"277Please respect copyright.PENANAFVWir5l5RM
"You don't go?"277Please respect copyright.PENANA2JK1VFi7sr
"I'll go. I'll go. To escort the old man around here."
Yai unfolded a smile , reached out one arm to hold his nong's neck and dragged him along to the shore. The sea breeze. blew strongly , causing the hair to flow in the wind. It was refreshing that they could hear their head.
Yai brought Tarn to sit under the shade of a tree , swept his gaze through the expansive blue sea ahead quietly and started to realize , when having something in mind , why people loved to lose themselves in reverie by the sea
"What is it between you and Phaya?"277Please respect copyright.PENANA0Tw48yH3Al
Tarn glanced at Yai puzzlingly "What the question is this?"277Please respect copyright.PENANA8SjKP4CMlr
"Answer me. You like him don't you?"
Yai fixated his gaze on Tarn's face. The two made eye contact for so long before Tarn was the first who averted his gaze away.
"Yeah , i like him , but as a friend."277Please respect copyright.PENANAoZzLvHhRYJ
"Are you sure you only think of him as a friend?"277Please respect copyright.PENANAtLs1EeYdWA
"What's your question excactly? It's surely just a friend."277Please respect copyright.PENANA2wC9Toe5mc
"I've been watching you fro some time already. No matter what happens , you always protect him. Just like the time we were roaming in the woods. You saw a snake going to bite him , and you just bar it without concern for you own risk. You were lucky that the snake didn't bit you , or you'd been already delisted from the training."277Please respect copyright.PENANAW54bDMdDWj
"...I...I just protect him as a friend."277Please respect copyright.PENANArr6gwG4VjX
"You looked at him just like the way Mon looks at me."277Please respect copyright.PENANAow3GB4sHSu
"Hey , and how can i even compare to Phi Mon the love of your life?"
Phi Mon was Phi Yai loved one. She was a trans , but she was still the one Phi Love loved to the moon and back that he agreed to go against mae Jampee's will until he could date her. They both needed to fight for it ,and ti took a long time tow in mae Jampee's heart until her heart softened that she finally accepted Phi Mon. Tarn couldn't help but admire the two for fighting beside each other until they could settle down , get married...and be together...
"The reason i ask is to remind you to side step from him...You know that you..."277Please respect copyright.PENANAEjd1YKljuF
"Right i knew it!" Tarn clenched his fist tightly with blood shot eyes ".... That a person like Tarn can't fall for anyone. If he did , they would face calamity. A person like Tarn can't have ayone by his side , even his own parents." Said Tarn in a trembling voice
Now that Yai stabbed him at the sorest spot , the flashback of his first girlfriend , Nong Kwan's death shot right into his mind. The glimpse of how she was covered up with blood , while Tarn who sat in the same car , didn't even have a single scratch , only a few bruises. Not to mention Nong Jee , who took her own life without a certain reason. Anytime he mingled with anyone , they always ended up in doom
Leading to the self doubt that hat was him to them?... Always brought misfortune to everyone.
"Tarn , that's not what i mean.I'm afraid you will get hurt , so i warned you."
Yai thought he possessed much enough of a melancholic fate , but when he turn to look at Tarn , it was even worse. How could someone be cursed with such an extent of a woeful love life? Tarn was always willing to offer a helping hand to everyone in need , but no one could ever lend him a helping hand in return , stand by his side and understand him
"Then you have to take my word that i don't think of Phaya that way. Because if so , something horrible must have already happened to him."
Tarn looked at Yai straight in the eyes. Yai simply nodded in acknowledgment without any further words , pulling Tarn closer to his loose embrace. Damn , it made him want to cry. Why did his nong have to face anything like this?
"Don't cry. Have a shame for our trainer somehow."277Please respect copyright.PENANAecEeBTIrJn
"I'm not crying , you bastard. I'm a full grown man. I won't cry , or Luang Phor would nag me for it."277Please respect copyright.PENANAqxTsgJI0U0
"Um..."
Utterly bullshit. You were weeping right in my ear...Anyway , i was still in doubt , man
"Let's be sincere. Do you like Phaya? Because your action speaks so freaking clearly."277Please respect copyright.PENANAkpwXAWYeyb
Tarn enlarged his eyes "No , i'm not gay , man." Tarn objected so quickly that he messed up his words277Please respect copyright.PENANAbUAQbIgkL6
"Love has no sexual boundaries. Haven't you heard it?"
I'mma slap you real hard for feigning a disgusted face like that. Yuck...you said you didn't fall for him but loved stealing a glimpse of him , always covertly smiling and looking at him , then what were all about? Not to mention protecting him to death. If all these couldn't be called liking , what else could it be?
"Well , my honest answer is i don't know...All i think is Phaya deserves the best , the safest , and to live his best life. I don't think of anything else. It feels like..."
Like it was his responsibility
