NORTHHOWMUCHISYOURLOVE, Chapter 5 part 2
Cute Boy & Girl – MU – Posted a new photo 15 minutes ago Hello everyone, the second day of the new semester! I’m so happy because now I’ll get to see my beloved more often, ><. Today, I want to introduce you to someone great from the Faculty of Medicine, Johan, second-year medical student. I’ve been posting a lot of his pictures lately because I’m totally smitten with this bad boy. And here’s the photo you asked for…How to take photos in Thailand that look like they’re from Korea, How to wear a student uniform in a way that looks like it’s a brand name. I can’t take it anymore, I’m about to faint, Johan, please step on me @JohanCt.
It’s a picture of Phii Johan wearing a not-so-tidy student shirt, with one side of the shirt out of his trousers, one hand holding the lab coat over his shoulder, the other hand in his pants pocket, his hair styled messily as if he’s just woken up, with an expression that seems to say he’s bored with the world.
“Caption is scary, please step on me.” Skater said. I nodded in agreement. Why step on me, because he’s so full of himself? Lately, the cute boy cute girl page has been posting pictures of Phii Johan a lot because the admin is heartbroken that Phii Hill already has a partner.
“The comments are terrifying too.” Skater said, scrolling through the comments for me to see.
: Oh my God, why is he so dangerously handsome? I fainted at the pose with the shirt over the shoulder.
: Phii Johan, I love you. If I were rich, I would buy you to live with me!
: Admin. You didn’t take a photo when he styled his hair too. At that time, I couldn’t handle it, I would have fallen over!
: Let’s campaign to keep Phii Joe single, to protect the faculty’s treasure with our lives. Just Phii Hill having a partner already broke my heart. : How can someone be so handsome with his shirt out of his pants? If it’s not Phii Joe, it can’t be done! Looks like he just woke up but still so handsome, I give in.
: I like it, I want it, attaches a picture of a thousand baht bill
:. We probably can’t pay for Phii Joe because he’s richer than us, so instead, we’ll have Phii Joe pay for us, the wildest imagination in the world, LOL.
: Actually, that day Phii Johan was hanging out with me, sorry everyone, LOL.
:. At first, I wanted to complain about the unstyled hair, but looking at it again, it’s super handsome. I won’t complain anymore, I still love you though.
: Wow, nicely shot, the lighting is beautiful, and the model is also very goodlooking.
“Each person, I think many people want to be in debt to him instead of you.” Said Skater.
“Wait, who would want to be in debt? You’re crazy.” I said, shaking my head lightly, “They need to experience what it’s like when he uses his sharp tongue on them like he does with me, then they’d want to take back every compliment they’ve ever given.”
“Not necessarily, he’s got that charm.”
“Really? With that attitude, girls would still like him?”
“You need to be handsome too.”
“End of story.” I cut Skater off, summing up that being handsome ends all arguments, no need for any other reason.
Before I turned my attention back to the board.
4:08 PM I finished my last class. Everyone was filing out of the classroom just now when Phii Tharn sent a chat saying to wait in front of the faculty building; he was coming to pick me up. I’m not sure if I’m imagining it, but it seems like Phii Tharn is really making an effort to come for me. He’s been asking if I’m done yet, saying he didn’t want me to wait long.
“Is Phii Tharn picking you up?” Kyu asked.
“Yeah.” I nodded in response.
“If he does anything weird, call me.” Skater said with a hint of jest, causing me to tap his head once. He always talks nonsense like this, “Alright, we’ll head back first, don’t work too hard.”
“Yeah, yeah, see you tomorrow.” I waved goodbye to my three friends before we went our separate ways, and I went to sit on the marble table near the gear square.
Ding!
T-Than: Just finishing with a professor, I’m heading out now.
T-Than: Where are you?
North♣: I’m at the front of the faculty, near the gear square.
T-Than: Oh, really? That’s disappointing, I was going to be the one waiting for you, North.
North♣: Why wait? Haha
T-Than: Want to score some points, haha.
T-Than: Just kidding.
T-Than: I don’t like making others wait.
North♣: I can wait, I just finished.
T-Than: Okay, okay, I’m on my way, just wait a bit.
North♣: Sure.
North♣: Sends sticker Heh, tell me I’m not overthinking this, T^T. He said he was joking. Yeah, he was joking. Try not to think too much about it, or else it’ll just feel awkward.
Dong!
What now? We just talked, didn’t we?
Johan: Where are you?
Oh…It’s Phii Johan texting me. When it’s this name in the chat, it doesn’t feel good at all. He’s not going to ask me to do something for him again, right? T^T
North♣: At the faculty.
Johan: Go buy coffee at the engineering faculty.
North♣: ?
North♣: The coffee at my faculty?
Johan: Yes.
North♣: Okay, and don’t tell me you want me to deliver it?
Johan: No.
Johan: I’ll come pick it up.
Pick it up…
What’s this all about now?
North♣: Pick it up for what?
North♣: I mean…I’m not free.
North♣: But I’ll buy the coffee for you.
Johan: Why?
North♣: Someone is already coming to pick me up.
Johan: Who?
Johan: Fuck it.
Johan: But if I go, I have to meet you.
North♣: Oh, Phii-
Johan: Go buy the coffee, I’m leaving now. It’s like I’m talking to a wall!
What should I do now? Phii Tharn is already out, and Phii Joe is about to come out too, but it looks like Tharn will get here first since the medical faculty is on the other side. What should I do? I can’t split myself to go with both of them.
And can I choose anything? T^T
But right now, I need to go buy coffee first.
I walked into the area under the building, where there’s a coffee shop in the engineering faculty. They have a recommended menu called “Engineering Coffee.” not sure if it’s some special recipe or not. I ordered one cup.
While waiting for the coffee, I had to quickly tell Tharn that I couldn’t go with him. I had to choose the creditor first; that’s a big deal if I upset him. As for Phii Tharn, I guess we can talk it out.
And Phii Johan is the most self-centered creature in the world!
North♣: Tharn, sorry, but I can’t go with you anymore.
I decided to type out the chat and send it; calling wouldn’t work because he’s driving.
North♣: I have some business to attend to.
T-Than: Oh, how come?
T-Than: We already agreed, didn’t we?
T-Than: I’m just one traffic light away.
North♣: Really can’t this time, can we do it next time?
T-Than: Sigh, I rushed over because I didn’t want you to wait long.
North♣: I’m sorry, TT^TT
North♣: Sends sticker
T-Than: Alright, alright, next time let’s go eat together.
T-Than: Okay?
North♣: Sure. T-Than: And how will you get to the shop?
North♣: I can go on my own today.
T-Than: Really? I could still give you a ride.
North♣: It’s okay, no trouble at all.
Before I could even finish talking with Phii Tharn, I heard the sound of tires screeching on the road, so loud it was painful to the ears, and then a luxurious sports car pulled up in front of the gear area. This is within the university, for God’s sake! Why the need to drift burn?
Johan: Get in.
Huh?! Don’t tell me this is Phii Joe’s car. Hey! That was too fast. Isn’t the medical faculty on the other side? Did he get here even before Phii Tharn, or could it be Phii Joe studies in another faculty building? No, that can’t be, all the medical students study over there.
I put my phone in my pocket and walked towards the luxury car that had just parked amidst the gazes of everyone at the faculty. Bringing such a fancy car because he likes it, and now he’s the center of attention, wow, such a fancy car.
I didn’t dare to touch it.
I opened the passenger door and got in as instructed.
“Here’s the coffee.” I said, handing over the coffee cup. Phii Johan took it and placed it next to the steering wheel, “Uh…where are we going?”
“Who was supposed to pick you up at first?”
“Phii Tharn, you probably don’t know him.” I answered truthfully. The phone in my pocket vibrated strongly; Phii Tharn must have sent another message.
“Hmm. Don’t know him.” Phii Johan said, his eyes glanced at the side mirror, started the car, turned the steering wheel, and the car moved off faster than I expected, startling me.
Oh my God, holy shit, the driving is terrifyingly bad!! “And where were you going with him?” Phii Johan asked, his eyes still fixed on the road. I, sitting next to him, was starting to tense up, feeling like I might step on the brakes myself. I had heard Ter complain that Phii Johan drives terribly, and now I understand why.
“Just…going to eat.”
“…”
Phii Johan didn’t respond. I didn’t say anything either because I was too busy praying silently. Oh God, please help. I’m done, let me out, I suddenly thought of Phii Hill. Phii Hill drives very smoothly, smooth enough to fall asleep, but try falling asleep in Phii Joe’s car, and you’d surely fly out the window.
I didn’t even get a chance to look at the route, and the car stopped in front of a restaurant. Phii Johan turned off the engine and got out of the car. I had to follow, even though my legs were still shaking from fear.
“Are you going to eat?” I asked softly.
“Hmm. You said you were going to eat with Tharn.”
…?
Oh, he’s talking about when I said I was going to eat with Phii Tharn. I followed him into the restaurant, which was more ordinary than I expected. When I think of Phii Joe, I imagine an upscale restaurant, but this is fine, it’s much more relaxing.
“Isn’t the coffee at the medical faculty good?” I asked curiously when I saw the person in front of me drinking the coffee I bought.
“Hmm.”
“Usually, Hill takes me to eat like this. I didn’t think you’d like this kind of place too.” I said. Ter and I agreed that these ordinary places are better, mainly out of consideration.
“What has Phii Hill treated you to?” “Just the usual stuff, a simple place like this, but he likes to stop for sweets too, only Ter bought them.”
“And you didn’t buy anything?”
“No. I felt bad about it.”
“That explains why the money in the card lasts longer.”
Huh?
What does that mean…
The money in the card lasts longer?
“Give me your phone.” Johan suddenly said. I tilted my head slightly in confusion.
“Sorry?”
“Your phone.”
“Yeah, what for?” Even though I asked that, I still had to hand my phone over to him. What could I possibly do to resist? T^T. Johan took it and started scrolling through my phone for a while.
But wait a minute, how can he use my phone with his fingerprint? When did he register his fingerprint?
“Where are you going?”
“Sorry?”
“He said he would drop you off.” Phii Johan handed me his phone to see a message from Phii Tharn stating he would drop me off at the shop.
“Oh…I’m going to my part-time job.”
“…” I felt awkward when suddenly Phii Johan seemed displeased. Sitting across from each other like this, with him being so quiet, made me even more uncomfortable. I was starting to get scared. Why was he so irritated?
“I’ve got a new part-time job. Phii Tharn is related to the shop owner, so he offered to drop me off.” “And who is this Phii Tharn?”
“He’s the owner of the coffee shop where I work, sir.”
“Where’s this new place?”
“It’s called ‘Sold Out,’“ I answered softly, wondering why Phii Johan was questioning me so harshly.
“A bar?”
“Yes, do you know it?”
“Just a bit.” Phii Johan said before standing up from the table, paying the bill to the staff, and leaving without waiting for his change. When I followed him out, the staff handed the change to me instead.
“Are we going back now?” I asked after getting into the car. But why didn’t Phii Johan give back my phone yet?
“I’ll drop you off.”
“Drop me off? At the shop?”
“Back to the dorm.”
“You don’t need to go anywhere, you.”
T-Than: Are you going with Johan? Why didn’t you tell me? Did he threaten you or something? Where are you going?
T-Than: North, I can really drop you off at the bar. Don’t feel shy.
T-Than: I can also pick you up afterward; I’ve cleared my schedule.
T-Than: Let me know if anything happens.
T-Than: I’m waiting for you; I’m worried.
North♣: No need to worry.
T-Than: …
T-Than: North?
