Koh Phra Island , Chonburi 2019
As soon as bot feet stepped on the sea shore. Tarn was instantly aware that his life would forever change from this very second on. This island was the base of the Naval Special Warfare Unit. The training ground for the frogmen or Naval Special Warfare Operators , also known as SEAL in more elegant term , to sharpen their skill. SEAL was an acronym for Sea , Air and Land , representing the missions that could be carried out in all those environments. If he aced this eight month intense training here , he would become eligible to join the DSI team , and he was here to win!
"They , Tarn. Let's get some grub. We have two hours before we report for duty."
Yai draped his arm across Tarn's shoulder and led his little brother to walk up on the cement floor , looking for a small restaurant by the sea. They seated themselves and ordered their food together. Since the restaurant wasn't very busy , the food was served just after a short while
"Hooyah! Hooyah! Hooyah!"
Tarn swiveled his head with keen interest to those cadets in white t shirts and navy blue shorts jogging in unison along side their trainer. Their first three months of training would not be too far off from this. Even though the two brothers were here to join the DSI unit , the police colonel told them this training was similar to the Navy SEAL training program
"Hey , Tarn. Check out the dude over there. It's like he dresses up for a fashion show." Yai told Tarn to look that way
Tarn averted his gaze from the beach to a person sitting behind. That guy was wearing a black leather jacket. A rich kid. Tarn supposed. But tarn was familiar with that back , like he had seen it somewhere before. Well , never mind!
Tarn shifted his attention back to the plate before him
"Phi Yai , let's eat so we can get going. Stop gossiping already."
Tarn shoved the food into his mouth and munched on it. To fuel up a starvation tank like this , eating was the only answer!
"That's what everyone does , don't they? Not only both of us in this training , but there are also many other good men out there. We have to keep our eyes on them."
Tan swallowed the food down his throat
"Do you think he signed up for the cadet , too?"
Perhaps , he was a tourist , assuming by how lavish his outfit was
"Sure thing. Can you see what's on that dude's table? There is an applicant dossier on it with the Air Force emblem...?
T arn started to think that Yai was prying on the other so loud that the nearby crowd veered their attention to look at them , so the young man poked the phi to resume his own meal and quit gossiping by now. To opt in or not opt in was absolutely that dude's business. Sure as hell he didn't look for trouble here , damnit!
"Khun pa , i'll have stir fried pork with holy basil , please. Uh...no chili , no MSG , half teaspoon of sugar and a table spoon of vegetable oil. Uh , i'd better have a half teaspoon of each seasoning instead and. no long bean , too."
Holly cow! Who the heck ordered that?!
Yai and Tarn exchanged their gaze startlingly with the eyes searching for the order owner , curious to see that damn face. Why wouldn't he cook it himself for such a tricky order?!
CLANG!
Here it goes. Even the khun pa beat her spatula with the pan. There , she pointed he utensil at that guy.
"Nu... why don't you do it yourself?"
Even the cook thought the same thing. Yai swooped back and smiled at Tarn , who tried not to laugh and shared their knowing glance. That fella wouldn't be able to get his messy meal but would instead get kicked out of the shop
"Uh , khun pa , i'm a clean eater , so i might be a little too much detailed on it. I can write it down for you."
That nerd told the female cook nervously. Guess he didn't mean to annoy her.
"Ugh! What on earth is a clean eater? I can't do that for you. If you want to eat like that , go find it on the mainland."356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nupQmzkMk
"Well...."
SCREECH....
The sound of moving chair creaked at Tarn's back. the tall figure in a black jacket walked past Tarn and Yai's table towards the glasses nerd and handed out a food box to him
"Whole food....i bought it for myself , but i didn't eat it."
The side of that man's face in the black leather jacket captivated Tarn. That prominent nose , distinct eyes , dark eyebrows , white and healthy skin , sculpted side profile with a well defined , chiseled jawline that reminded him of someone he had met before , but where...?
"Thank you."
That nerd took the food box and smirked at that man
"Don't mention it. But if you're here for the training but still a picky eater like this , it might cause you trouble."
Hmm , what a pleasantly deep , low pitched , soothing voice. Hey , and why the heck do i have to swoon over that dude's voice too?
"Eh? Do you know that i'm here for the training too?"356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCxo5RRin6
"Yeah , i saw your PCS order."
Yai lifted his glass to gulp down the water with the ear hustling at the same time. The way he was a kid stuck with him even as he grew up. A nosy parker , as always
"Oh , yes. I signed up here to join the DSI unit."
SPURRRT!!!!
"GAG. GAG."
Yai snorted water so hard that his face was red as a beetroot , tugging the tissue paper to wipe his mouth while Tarn , who had a hunch about it , moved his plate away just in the nick of time
"What the hell of you? I almost have to re order my meal." Snapped Tarn. That was close...my dear meal...356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yjumY8Par
"Are you the one who's going to join the DSI unit? A nerd , dumbass face like yours will be able to handle it? Hahahaha." Said a narrow eyed guy with his company , burst out laughing in sync
Tarn and Yai looked into each other's eyes displeasedly. How utterly potty mouth they were. Looking down on other people like this , watch it , they may be the ones who got kicked in the dirt
That man in the jacket looked over his shoulder to see those men , then reached to grip that nerd's shoulder
"I wish you the best in the training. Don't take those foul mouths to heart."356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6Dx3Vf5Cm
"Hey , peacock. Are you chewing me out?"356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDVEaiaNzA
"I didn't mention anyone specifically , just say it in passing."
