"Damn, who invented this hellish ride?" Pan squatted down, resting his arms on his knees. He was dizzy. Chan said Pan even cried because he wanted to get off.

We went on almost everything, playing like there was no tomorrow. Toey rode each thing at least twice. Now it's time to pick up the girls and head to the Snow Town.

"Damn, it's freezing," Tan crossed his arms, shivering.

It wouldn't be this cold if we hadn't gotten wet first. We just played the Grand Canyon ride. Q called it a float islet. Ing wore a white shirt, so when it got wet... well, you know. Q took off his shirt to cover her. He had another T-shirt underneath. Toey looked like he wanted to tear the shirt apart. Haha.

"P'Channnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!" Suddenly, Toey rested his head on Chan's chest. Q turned to look almost immediately.

"Hmm, what is it? What do you want ka?"

"My throat is dry, I'm thirsty."

"I told you not to be naughty, didn't I? Why don't you listen? Wait until we get out and we 'll go eat, okay?"

"Okay, I'm not thirsty anymore."

"Wow, that really got my heart." Tan leaned down and whispered in my ear.

Your beloved Fang's evil face also got my heart. Did you guys have extra lessons or something?

Chan cupped Toey's cheeks. What was Chan planning? Toey blinked twice in confusion, quickly hiding his mischievous smile and standing close to Chan. Q just clenched his fists. Will you only accept your feelings if Chan and Toey f*ck right in front of you, Q?

Tan and I couldn't stand it anymore and had to drag him away to talk, leaving the others to play on the ice slide. This was the only thing Matt played without forcing himself. He said seeing the ice and snow made him think of his dad. What a dutiful son.

"Q, I'll ask you again. Do you love Ing?" I started the conversation.

"No." Tan and I looked at each other. We already knew the answer.

"Do you love Toey?" Fang's boyfriend was straightforward, just like I expected.

"I..."

"Think before you answer. Be sure."

"I don't know, but I don't like seeing him cozying up with Chan."

"Jealous?"

"More like possessive."

"Damn, stop pretending!" Tan smacked Q's head.

"Chan and Toey just started dating. I don't think Toey's heart has forgotten you. It's not too late to claim him back."

Tan was trying to say that true love must be fought for, while false love must be sacrificed. Am I right, Tan?

"Are you crazy, Tan? I don't take my friend's stuff."

This time, we were dead silent. Yeah, it's true. Despite their flirtatious nature, they've never overstepped their bounds. They never touched each other's girls, even if offered. Q often encountered Tan's and Chan's girls who liked to message him privately. They were probably attracted to Q's cool, artistic vibe. The next day, Tan and Chan would dump them for bothering their friend.

"Toey isn't Chan's yet. Trust me." I patted Q's shoulder and smiled to encourage him. They hugged each other with me in the middle. Are you two trying to flatten me, you jerks???

"We only realize the value of something when we lose it. But you haven't lost him yet. You love him, he loves you. Two people in love, happy... f*ck!!!" I kicked Tan's leg. Always with the below-the-belt comments.

"Think carefully, Q. If you can't figure it out, tell us. Just accept your feelings. Loving someone you love isn't hard. Trust me, friend." Tan patted Q's shoulder again. We walked away to give him time to think. Phum waved at me to watch him, Pan, and Fang getting ready to race on the slide.

"What did he say?" Chan rushed over to ask.

"Not long now, get ready to send Toey to the bridal chamber." I replied proudly.

"Good job. Short but sensible. No wonder Phum is so obsessed with you, haha."

The two of them hugged each other, turning their backs on me. You have a good mouth, huh, crazy Dentist? Annoyed, I grabbed some ice shards and threw them at their backs. Chan, never one to back down, threw some back. Damn it! It hit me right in the eye.

We went on the slide many times. Tan and Fang were practically inseparable, always sitting together and hugging each other's waists. But Phum and I weren't that bold. We played separately but held hands.

While playing, Phum, who has a good eyesight, pointed out to me that Q was brushing ice off Toey's hair, as if it were snowflakes falling in the middle of Tokyo. Wait, no, not Japan. Let's change it to snowflakes falling in the middle of Seoul. Yeah, that makes more sense.

[T/N: Why it has to be Seoul?]

Then they dragged each other behind a big snowman where no one was around. Phum and I looked at each other and quickly went to hide and watch. After a while, another pair of humans followed, Tan and Fang. Damn, they're always nosy (not that I'm nosy at all, haha).

"P'Q, Toey is hurt." It was obvious that he was lying, but he might actually be hurt because Q was squeezing his wrist so hard.

"Yeah, I'm not as gentle as Chan." the hero retorted.

"And what does P'Chan have to do with this? Don't talk about P'Chan." the heroine retorted back. Wow, Khun Prajak and Soraya (They seem like in different stories?)

[*Khun Prajak is the hero of Wanida (วนิดา). Soraya is the heroine of Defendant of Love (จำเลยรัก). Thank to director Peem, they met at Dream World.]

"Huh, can't touch him, huh? Why? He's my friend, why can't I talk about him?"

"Because P'Chan is Toey's boyfriend. Toey doesn't like anyone talking about P'Chan. Ouch, it hurts na! Let go of me wá, P'Q!"

Q was as strong as a buffalo. Struggle with all your might, struggle to death, Toey, you won't get free. I've been through it many times. I know that well 😭.

"You're using 'wá' (วะ)* to talk to me? And why do you call him 'Phi'?"

Hey? What's that? You're demanding your rights?

[*particle used at the end of sentences which makes them sound impolite or aggressive in general, but show close familiarity when used with friends]

"Why can't I use 'wá'?"

"Your words are not at all cute na!"

[*น่ารัก /narak/ cute
      รัก /rak/ love]

Fang hit Tan on the back with loud thuds. He must have been satisfied that the result came out so well.

"Then you don't have to love (me). Let go of meeeee!!!"

"Toey is such a slut!!!" I said, smiling happily. I don't know, but I think they're cute. He's endearingly childlike.

"Just like you." Tan insulted me.

"Just like your wife." Phum insulted him back, making his brother look like he was about to bite his head off.

After playing until we were exhausted, it was time to take a break and eat to regain some energy. This meal, we'll leave it to the Colonel. After finishing the meal, we continued with the bumper cars. I forgot that Phum and his friends are race car drivers. Were they really mad at me? They kept crashing into me until I almost threw up the chicken.

"Tan, that's a haunted house, not a hotel. Go in and come out quickly. Don't make Fang moan louder than the ghosts, haha."

We were having fun teasing Fang, but sometimes it was annoying because he never got embarrassed. Worse, he even sniff kissed his partner's cheek in front of us. Well, we could handle it, but he should be considerate of the girls. Fang said if we couldn't accept our friend's partner, we shouldn't be dating because it wouldn't end well. How dramatic can you be, Khao Fang?

[T/N: I don't know what those three girls thought, but we absolutely can handle it too. (In fact, we're very satisfied, hehe.)]

Beer and his girlfriend went in first, followed by Tan and Fang. Mick and Namkhing opted out because they were both scared of ghosts. But what got us secretly excited was Q and Toey going in together. When they came out, Toey was blushing and looking down, while Q had an unusually serious face. I gave Q a teasing look, and he shrugged. What the fuck did they do in there?

"Are you going in?" Phum asked.

"Of course. Why not? Or are you scared?" I smiled, teasing Phum.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to resist slitting your throat in there."

"Oh, really? Would you dare?"

"Heh heh, I'm getting goosebumps, Peem." He pulled me in.

If you have children, tell your children. If you have grandchildren, tell your grandchildren that Phum and I kissed in a haunted house."

[T/N: What will I tell them? Haunted house is a dreamy spot for a magical kiss???]

After playing all day, everyone is exhausted. I'm not sure if we can drive back. We took some silly photos before heading home while waiting for the girls to use the restroom.

"Phum, Oat wants to talk to you," Fang handed his phone to his younger brother. Phum smiled and quickly took the call "Hello!".

I've seen almost every version of Phum, including badass, brutal, cute, adorable, and spoiled side. But I've never seen this childlike side. Is Phum always like this with his brother? Having said that, when Phum is with Fang he tends to be a little clingy as well.

"Phum is at the amusement park with friends... Yes, it's fun. Where are you, Oat?... Yes, Fang is here with his faen... Yes, Oat has met him before..."

Hearing this, Tan stretched out his chest - did he eavesdrop on Phum's phone call? Just like me? Hahaha.

"Phum is here with my faen too. Yeah, Phum has a boyfriend. If you want to see him, come home. Mom said you don't miss Phum, so you don't come back... Yes, Phum is on break now. Oat, come back to see Phum na... No, no, I won't. Phum doesn't like being in the forest... Phum misses Oat too. Fang likes to tease Phum... Okay, Phum will call you later." Phum's conversation with his big brother was so adorable.

[T/N: His determination when he refused to go meet his brother in the forest 😂]

"Always putting the fire on me. When did I ever tease you, you damn little brat? Now Oat will scold me again."

"Can't help it. Why did you tell Mom I wasn't eating?"

"Because when you have a stomachache, I get in trouble. You have a sensitive stomach and don't take care of it."

The two brothers bickered for a while. After a bit, their brother called back, and Phum grabbed Fang's phone to talk again.

"I'm going to the bathroom. Anyone coming?" I looked around, but no one paid attention. They pretended not to hear me. Humph! Phum was on the phone. "None of you guys have the decency to come with me, huh? Fine, I'll go alone!" I half-walked, half-ran to the bathroom by myself. Remember this, you lousy friends. Remember it well.

"Peem, Peem!" someone called my name, their voice trembling as if they were exhausted. When I turned around, I was surprised. What a coincidence.

"Kluen, what are you doing here?"

Kluen was standing there, panting heavily, waving his hand because he couldn't speak. I couldn't help but laugh at his funny demeanor. You didn't run after me, did you?

"I came to the amusement park... What else would I be doing?"

"You're such a tease."

"Hehe, I brought my Nong here. I was eating when I saw you walk by, so I ran after you. I thought it wasn't you at first."

"You were probably planning to smack people on the head as you ran by."

"Come on, don't hold a grudge. I've apologized to you many times."

"Yeah, yeah, just kidding. Hey, I need to pee. We'll talk later."

"Really? Okay, I'll go with you."

"Ahh, I'm gonna pee my pants! Damn it!!!" I ran while unzipping my pants just in time. When I reached the destination, I let it all out. Ahhhhh, relief!!! Happiness can come at any moment. Hehe.

[T/N: 😳]

"Why don't you go pee in the stall?"

I turned to look at Kluen, who was standing with his head down, facing the mirror.

"I'm just peeing, not pooping. Why go to the stall for that?" I managed to put little Peem back in place and washed my hands. Kluen was still standing with his head down, his ears red.

"Hey, what's wrong, Kluen? You're all red. Sunstroke?"

"Uh, no, no."

"So, what happened at home the other day when you had to leave in a hurry? Is everything okay now?"

"Oh, my younger brother hit someone with the car. Dad called me to check it out."

"Really? Was it serious?"

"It's okay now. The person who got hit wasn't hurt much, and my brother is fine too. I saw him riding the Viking ride several times." He spoke with his usual bright smile.

"Well, it's good that everything's fine. And you... Hey!!!" Kluen and I shouted together as a guy spilled Pepsi on me. Some kids were running around in the bathroom and bumped into him, causing him to stumble and spill it on me.

"Hey, sorry, man." the guy quickly apologized. The two kids had already run off somewhere.

"It's okay."

Ugh, my shirt was soaked with Pepsi. The guy apologized again before going about his business. Before he left, he apologized again. Accidents happen, I understand. No problem. I looked down at my shirt, stained from the chest down. What a bummer. I was about to go home and this happened. I rinsed my shirt with water. Even though I couldn't get the stain out, at least it wouldn't be sticky.

"Let me help."

"No, it's fine. I can handle it."

"If you do it like that, you'll get soaked. Here, let me help." Kluen kindly helped me clean up.

"It's so sticky. I'd better take it off and wash it."

"No, don't! Are you going to be naked? Let me clean it. Just stand still."

"Come on, it's sticky."

"Stay still, Peem..." Kluen gave me a stern look and held my arms to keep me from messing with my shirt. He turned on the water and rinsed my shirt, then used his handkerchief to wipe it. I had to stand still and let him help.

"Can you let go of my wife now?" A cold voice made Kluen and me turn to look at the person standing at the door.

"PHUM!!!"
