Saturday and Sunday often pass significantly faster than usual. Just eat, sleep, and it's only a matter of time before it's Monday. Although I would like the weekend to be extended for another two months so I wouldn't have to go back to being a slave for someone. For the past two days, I tried to hypnotize myself to pretend to forget all my problems and leave behind all the headaches. Just lied down and watched a movie, ordered fried chicken to eat, helped work at the coffee shop, and did everything according to the same way of the life that I used to have.

But who knew better than me that anxiety still followed me as a shadow everywhere, waiting for an unexpected moment to pop up and make my heart ache whenever it had a chance. Well, as they say, something is destined to happen to you; it will never escape you. No matter how much I pretended to forget, I couldn't escape the truth anyway. Just like there is no way I can escape Phum. The best solution and the right solution is accept it and face it.

I made an oath that if I saw that bastard, I'll slap the blood out of his mouth, I'll crush his throat to get revenge for daring to leave me waiting. But from what was happening right in front of my eyes right now, it seems that I would probably be better burying that thought as deep as possible if I don't want to become a corpse. Because Phum was sitting and watching his guys stomp on someone. Even if I see his now, no matter how angry I am, how much I want to walk closer and whisper softly in his ear "Bastard", I have to restrain myself.

The story was that after he left me wait in vain and disappeared for several days until I thought he had been swallowed by the earth*. Today he sent me a message saying that when my class is over, I have to go meet him at the back of the old gymnasium behind the Civil Engineering Section at 5p.m. Damn it, he set the time without even asking what time my class ends. University doesn't end classes of all the faculties at the same time like elementary school. How can I submit my work?

*A Buddhism myth, it's punishment to people who commit serious sin that cannot be forgiven. Even the earth cannot bear the weight of their sin until having to opened up and swallow them into the abyss of hell. They won't be reincarnated forever.

My faculty might not be very strict about class attendance times, but we have a lot of work. Because the truth is that art people do not live for art but live for work. Professors let us take leave. We could be late, we could be absent, we could die but we had to turn in work first. No matter what major, what year, we all have the same fate.

This semester I had five subjects. Each subject had work to submit every week. Some had even two. So how did I get the time to sleep? Think about it. Plus I still had to ready for a special job as I was this bastard's servant instead of using the little free time I had to drink liquor. But no matter what I say, it's useless. Anyway, here I am. In fact, I had been here for a while now. But I didn't dare walk in. I could only peek from a distance, only my head poked out, my body hid behind the wall.

I couldn't believe that those guys were so reckless to get into a fight in broad daylight. But I wasn't sure if it can be called a fight or not because it's just one person was kicked by a gang. This is the university. If you get caught, it will be a big deal.

Other guys, I didn't know any of them. But that's my friend Tan. He stood with his arms folded, looking at the brutality that had occurred with a blank expression on his face, as if he didn't understand. His cruel vibes was not different from that of Phum. For a moment, I was afraid of my own friend. Evil. It's like this Tan isn't the Tan I know. The Tan I know is a very nice person. I don't know where he got the blood of King Taksin. Even though he is very nice to his people, why can he be so bad to other people?

* King Taksin or the King of Thonburi, whose reign was characterized by numerous wars

Chan and Q had to keep following and joining the fight with him. It's not that the two of them have a passion for being gangsters, but they were afraid that Tan would be shot or stabbed to death without no one seeing that, so they had to follow him every time. If we're talking about being reckless and stubborn, I'd say Tan is no less than Phum. He is even more foolhardy. It's just hidden behind his smile and playfulness.

I used to think that after entering university, Tan must have stayed away from these matters and become a normal person. I was relieved that he would not walk in the rebellious way any more. But dammit, in contract, he get to level up to the point of causing trouble in the campus? Damn it.

Besides Tan and Phum, who sit cross-legged and smokes, there were the golden-head guy and the angel-look guy that I had met at the football field a while back, standing far away. They looked as if everything were normal. It's like it's something that everyone does. Anyone can be a punching bag if they have bad luck.

"That's enough."

Phum's short order stopped all actions. Those guys pulled away from the person who was curled up on the ground. Phum used the tip of his foot to crush the cigarette he had just dropped on the ground before standing up. He took off his shop shirt and threw it away, walking towards the victim lying in the middle of the gymnasium, bruised and battered. He used the foot he used to crush the cigarette to step on the unlucky man's chest and slowly squatted down next to him.

When I looked closely, that person was very tall, strong and muscular. Plus he has tattoos all over his arms. Looks like he has some quite a bit of skills. Looks like he should be able to fight. So why didn't you fight? Why did you let them stomp on you? But it's like that. How many bastards are there? A pack of dogs!

"A pack of dogs" was not my words, those was the words of the man who was lying on the ground. It seemed like he was spitting at Phum. Shit, I was satisfied. Deep in my heart, I hoped that the man would get up and punch Phum, I would be very happy. It's like my revenge has been paid off. Resentment that is not relieved will be like food gets stuck in your throat.

"And you? Does this feel familiar?" Phum's voice was still calm. "Like when you lost a car race. Then you brought a group of people to gang up on me, do you remember that?" Phum grabbed the hair of that person who was just supporting himself to sit up until his face was up. "Can't admit defeat or just being annoyed at me as always? Or both, you loser?" Phum laughed in his throat. A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. Seeing that made my hair stand on end and my legs shake. Why are you such a scary person? Even your laughter was terrifying.

"I will give you just this one chance. Everyone is different. I myself can't endure this annoyance for long."

Even if I take all the sentences that Phum had spoken to me together, they are still not as long as this one time.

Phum placed something on the man's face, probably a piece of paper or maybe some kind of photograph that made that man look at Phum as if he was going to eat his blood and flesh. Holy shit, this is even worse than The Godfather. Is the gangster's path really that scary?

"If you don't agree to end it, the person in the picture will end it for you." The godfather of the blackmail industry said.

"You don't have to threaten me with my little sibling."

Really? Curse him! He loves to threaten other people that I thought he was a relative of a Siberian Husky.

[T/N: I don't get it. Why do threatening people relate to being a relative of Siberian Husky?]

"You know I'm not threatening. I can do it right now."

Silence reigned for several minutes before the man surrendered.

"Don't mess with my family." His voice came through his teeth and he coughed loudly.

I saw it and felt sorry for him, but from listening to their conversation, I thought this guy is probably really evil as well.

"That depends on you." Phum gently patted the man's cheek before letting his guys carry him away.

As for me, when I heard that, my hair instantly stood up. Thinking about myself, can I call it luck? After all, Phum didn't drag me by the neck and beat me to death like he did to the person just now, right? Isn't it good that he just made me a servant? Hey, do I have to thank him for that? It's such a shame to live in a country where rich people are so badass that they want to do whatever they want to anyone. I'm stressed!!!!!

"Mick, what time is it?" Phum turned to ask Ai golden head. Oh, by the way, the guy who called me Tiny last time was named Mick.

"Four minutes past four. What a coincidence! Some one is missing you. Hee hee hee." The guy named Mick stared at the phone screen, giggling. This guy seems to be acting weird. He seems abnormal, like Pan. Four o'clock, does it have to be the number sixteen? So it has to be sixteen minutes so it means that someone is missing you. How the fuck do you count?

*A belief among Thai people that when you look at the clock and see hours with the same numbers for hours and minutes (e.g. 04:04 and 16:16), you're receiving a spiritual message that 'someone is missing you'.

[T/N: Peem, I think Mick isn't wrong. He uses the 12-hour system while you use the 24-hour system. That's it. 😁]

"Damn, I thought there was something fun to watch. Heck, but that's all." Tan looked bored and frustrated.

If you want to watch something fun, go watch a comedy show, don't watch other people fight. Even though from what I've heard, it seemed like that person was the one who did the first move, but shouldn't they take revenge by using force? And the more I saw Tan and Phum together, the more it made me start to hyperventilate, afraid that Tan would be arrested.

"You haven't stretched your legs in a long time, have you? Your fists are itching?" asked the handsome man with the angelic aura.

Tan walked up to Phum and spoke loudly "Why did you not let me join, Beer?"

Oh that guy's name is Beer. His face is handsome and his name is cool. Why are all the good things concentrated in one person? It hurts. Do you think God has no respect for me?

[T/N: By the way, my dear readers, do you think my name is cool?]

"Losing a car race then being vidictive. So he brought a group of people to gang up on Phum. What a jackal*! I don't think he even wanted to compete in the first place. That day, he talked and tried to provoke us ever since we got to the racecourse. I think he just wanted to find trouble with you. But don't be afraid, if he bothers you again, I'll take care of him myself."

*ไอ้พวกหมาหมู่ (literally means Ai pack of dogs and pigs) to emphasize that he doesn't dare to fight a duel with Phum but had to bring a gang to help him

Have you seen how much Tan loves his friends? 'Don't you dare touch my friend!' But I was also confused why he allowed Phum to drag me away that day. Oh now I know that who is the one Tan loves more. Hmm.

[T/N: Finally Peem knows who is diamond and who is gravel 😂]

"After coming here, I see you're really worried about Phum. Plus, you take extra good care of him." Beer said with a smile, and Tan smiled as well, but it was a shy smile. Oh my god! Oh shit! Wait a minute. I can't believe in my eyes! Why is Tan smiling like that?

"Isn't that normal? Uhm, I'm always..."

"Enough. So annoying. You guys can leave now." Phum said, even though Tan hadn't finished speaking and slapped Tan's hand away that was about to wrap around his shoulders.

"Oh, and you?"

"I have an appointment."

I gasped. Don't say that. Don't tell anyone that you made an appointment with me. I'm begging you. This just makes my body shrink so small it's inserted into the wall.

"Who are you going to see?"

Tan, I beg you. Don't be so nosy now, okay? Please hurry and go. And I was startled when Phum swept his eyes over to where I was standing. Even though it was just a glance, I could feel that I saw him grinning.

"My business"

"Whoa, wow, you want a change of air? Hmmmm. But having said that, going to a place like this is really exciting."

Do you agree that the guy named Mick is crazy? As for Beer and Tan, they smiled evilly before pushing Phum's shoulder one at a time. What's wrong with them? Mick pufed his chest and raised Phum's fist to pound into his own chest three times while saying, "My friend krap, my friend." After completing the ritual, the three bastards hugged each other's neck and walked away together. When Tan's back disappeared from my sight, I let out a long breath. I feel relieved throughout my chest. It hadn't even been two months yet and I was probably going to suffer from paranoia to death first.

"Why are you late?"

"Hoy! Fuck! I'm in shock."

A cold voice sounded from behind me as I stood with my eyes closed against the wall. It almost made my heart drop. When he saw that I was shocked, he had a look of satisfaction on his face. But when did he come to stand here?

"Your face is so pale. What's wrong? Are you sick?" He asked more sarcastically than out of concern.

Who made my face pale? Because you startled me. The other reason was the incident that Phum had just had done to that man. The image still lingered in my head and made me tremble.

Then I thought and wondered: why Phum hasn't crushed me yet? It's a question that Q guys used to ask. At the time, I didn't understand, but now I'm even more enlightened. I understand why my friend asked that question, because I also wanted to ask why an inhuman monster like Phum didn't use violence against me but instead took me as his slave. Or because I'm Tan's friend, so he's considerate. Wow, I just found out that being friend with Tan has benefit too. Or do I really have a Holy Spirit protect me? But when I think about it, the fact that Phum made me a servant might be more satisfying than using violence. I think it's definitely the reason. One hundred percent sure.

"That day, I told you to wait. Why didn't you wait?"

[T/N: 😑 10 points deducted]

Ooh! Like it hit the right spot. I instantly turned around when I heard the harrowing sentence. Turn so quickly that I can hear the sound of bones clanking without fear of spraining my neck. I raised my head and looked at Phum. What did you say? What did you say just now? I stepped up, rolled up my sleeves, walked towards him, turned off the engine and crashed. Live or die, today, before I die, I had to let out my grievances!

"Damn it! How do you know that I didn't wait? How can you say that! I waited for you for four hours. Look at my mouth. FOUR-FUCKING- HOURS. FUCK YOU! I waited until the mall closed. I couldn't go anywhere because I was afraid you would come back and not see me. I called but your phone was turned off. From now on, if you want to go fuck, you don't have to bother telling other people to wait. And you left a pile of stuffs to me. I had to carry them with me. They was heavy and I was tired and hungry. Taxi fare from Paragon to my house is hundreds baht. And do you still dare to say that I didn't wait? Not a single apology, but blame me even though it's you who's at fault! Ai..."

Special set, no Pepsi, no french fries, nothing but saliva. Before I realized that disaster might come, a cold breeze ran down my spine. I had been keeping my patience under control for a long time. It was wearing thin. I swallowed the sticky saliva in my throat, not daring to look at Phum's face, but I could tell that he was radiating the full power of the Devil's aura.

"He he." (The sound of chuckle)

Hehe? Who dares to laugh around here? Here, it's just me and this bastard. My mood right now was very far from being able to giggle. Then it must be ... I immediately looked up at Phum, and it really was him.

"He he? What's the heck?"

Or he was cursed so much until he went crazy. I thought that Phum was so angry that he might want to pull my intestines out and tear them up, but it turned out that he was just laughing. Even if it was a mocking laugh, a disdainful laugh, it was fine, but I didn't understand his emotion. What did he find so funny here? Simply put, I couldn't keep up with his emotions.

Phum didn't answer the question but threw me a bag, a jacket, a shop shirt, and a book. I'm not a basket for you throw your stuffs. But luckily I could catch all of them. If I drop a single one... I don't want to think about it. As for him, he walked towards the car as fast as the wind, not even bothering to wait for me. I just staggered along, carrying the whole stuffs follow him. Have you ever had the kindness to take pity on me? Thinking about it, I laughed at myself. If someone like Phum could spell the word "pity", will my condition be the same as today? Don't ask stupid questions again. People will know that I'm not smart. Haha.

[T/N: Oh we all know that your name means "genius'.]

"Hurry up, slow as a turtle."

Dammit, he cursed me again. Please take a look, you'll see why I'm walking so slowly. "If you were in such a hurry, why didn't you leave yesterday?"

"What are you muttering?"

"No, heh heh." I gave him a fake smile, but in my heart I still secretly continued to curse him. His ears are as good as dog's ears, his mouth is like dog's mouth and his personality is... Haiz, I feel sorry for the dog being compared to Phum.

[T/N: Me too😑 Poor the dog]

"Don't let me know that you secretly curse me in your heart. Otherwise..."

He made a gesture of slitting throat. I hurriedly shook my head. I didn't. He came up with it himself.

"Can you drive?" he asked when he walked up to the same beautiful Mercedes that had taken me around Samut Prakan, Bang Pakong, Paet Riw, Chachoengsao, Sriracha, Brue. Thinking about it, I got goosebumps. I stood and looked at Phum in confusion before my low memory brain started working. He asked like this, it means that he wanted to have me act as the driver. Then...

"Ugh, I don't know how to drive. I'm sorry."

I shook my head until my neck nearly dropped, try to show the honesty through my eyes. But actually, I can drive. Hehe. But for what reason do I have to driver him? It's much better to sit with your head held high comfortably and be a boss. Last time, he was able to drive himself. This time, he wanted me to drive. Dream on, man. Hahaha.

"Aside from daydreaming, what else can you do? Get in the car!"

What's wrong with me liking to daydream a lot? If I don't know how to drive, it'll be a burden on someone else. Hey, it's just that but you have to raise your voice. But that's okay. This time let him speak in exchange for me not having to drive. It's worth it. But the destination that Phum brought me to...

A boxing camp 😱
