The next day the girl was sitting on a bench in the college and looking at her phone. Then the boy comes there and starts showing her the phone.

  Boy – Mom. Things are getting out of control because of you.

  Girls – Ouch. Why are you blaming it on me? You took part in it too. You egged me on. Now you're pinning the blame on me.

  Boy – Mom. Honestly, if it’s not our fault, then whose fault, is it?

  Girls – That brat. If he hadn't insulted us, I wouldn't have done it.

  Boy – Let me see.

  The boy's phone rings.

  Boy – Professor's calling.

  Girls – Oh shit. Pick up!

  Boy – Hello Professor.

  Yes.

  What?

  Okay, we'll be there right away.

  Yes. Goodbye.

  Bitch, we're screwed. The principal wants to see us.

  Girls - Bitch, I knew it! Who shared our story on the university’s web board? Look, it's really serious. I bet she did it. I remember her name.

  Boy – So nasty.

  Girl – That ugly bitch.

  After some time. . .

  Tee comes out of the principal's office and both of them also come out of the principal's office, following Tee.

  Boy – What do we do, Mama? We must end the feud by this week, or we'll be in big trouble.

  Girls – Tee, hold on. Aren't you going to apologize?

  Tee – What about you? Even think of apologizing to me.

  Boy – Why do we have to apologize?

  Tee – If you hadn’t posted my pic, you wouldn’t have been scolded. Besides, I could’ve called the police to arrest you.

  But you’re lucky I think before I act.

  The girl gets angry and goes to hit Tee, but the boy stops her and speaks.

  Boy - Stop it. We’ve got enough problems. I want it to be over.

  Tee starts leaving from there and Tawan comes in front of him.

  Tee – Hey Tawan, what are you doing here?

  Tawan calls them both.

  Tawan – Excuse me. I want to talk to you. Tee. You head back first. I have something to talk to them.

  Tawan start talking to both of them.

  Tee - Even you are on their side.

  Tee goes away from there.

  In the evening, Tawan comes to his room and takes drumsticks out of his bag and puts them on the bed. Tee is sitting on his bed looking at his phone. Suddenly he gets a message, so he looks at Tawan and gets up and goes to Tawan and speaks.

  Tee – What did you say to them?

  Tawan - What did I say?

  Tee shows his phone and says look at this message from Akin.

  Tee – Akin sent me this. I can’t believe it. They’d been condemning me like I was a murderer. But suddenly apologized? Are they plotting something again?

  Tawan puts his hand on his lips and smiles and speaks.

  Tawan – It actually worked.

  Tee – What? What did you say to those fags?

  Tawan – Watch your mouth, Tee. Haven’t you had enough hard time?

  Tee gets angry and grabs Tawan's shirts collar.

  Tee – Hey Tawan. What did you say to them? You told them about my past, didn’t you? Is that why they feel sorry me?

  Tawan – I’m warning you. Watch your mouth. You can insult me. I don’t mind. But not everyone can stand your insults. None of this would’ve happened if you’d been more clam. It’s good enough they agreed to end it. They even cleared your name. And don’t worry. I didn’t tell them about your past.

  Tee – Then what the hell did you tell them?

  Tawan – I told them...

  Tee – What?

  Tawan – I like you.

  Tee gets a little serious and leaves Tawan with a collar. Tawan starts telling him what he talked about with them.

  Girl's – What do you want to talk about?

  Tawan – I need you to listen to what I’m about to say.

  Both – Yes.

  Tawan – I am gay.

  Girl's – I kind of notice that. But how did you get involved with him when he hates fem gays so much? Or is he fine with masculine gays?

  Tawan – No. Tee He hates all type of gays. And a gay like me has to live with a guy who hates gays like him.

  Girl's – Oh, how can you live with him? Don’t to you two fights?

  Tawan – We almost tore each other’s hands off. But if you try to understand him, you’ll know he’s good guy. Even though he’s prejudiced and a douche bag something’s if you really get to know him, you’ll know he’s good guy. But I’m here to talk to you not because I want you to sympathize with him. The real reason is I like him.

  If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

  The boy gets shocked and puts his hand on his mouth and speaks.

  Boy - OMG, you like that jerk?

  Tawan – Yes, I do. And I admit I’ve made a move on him.

  The girl smiles a lot and says this.

  Girl's - So scandalous! Sound like a BL novel plot.

  Tawan – Maybe he hates gays because of me. I know he doesn’t like me. And yet I kept approaching him. Because I couldn’t hold back my feelings for him. His reactions weren’t this violent though. But because of me. That day you touched him, didn’t you?

  Boy - Yeah, a little. But I didn’t think he’d be angry. He’s Akin friends. So, I thought he wouldn’t mind too.

  Tawan – If you hadn’t touched him the way I did, he wouldn’t have insulted you. If you want to blame someone it should be me, not him.

  Girl's - But the one who insulted us was him, not you. Why are you defending him?

  Tawan – But if his insults were actually meant for me then he didn’t do anything’s wrong, right? Do you agree with me? That when people hate someone or something, they don’t want to be near them. But you touched him and bugged him for photos. So how is he wrong for getting mad? And you never ask him why he hates or is scared of us. If it was your picture that got posted online and people started to criticize you without knowing the truth. How would you feel?

  Girl's - So, you’re saying it’s our fault.

  Tawan – I’m not blaming anyone. You probably didn’t think things would come this far. And I’m sorry on Tee’s behalf. Because this is all my fault, not his.

  Tawan speaks to both of them with his hands folded.

  Tawan – I’m begging you. I’m pleading you. Right now, Tee’s sufferings enough as it is. I can’t stand seeing the man I like suffering. I’m begging you. Please.

  Boy - Let’s end this.

  Girl's - Okay, I’ll ends this.

  Tawan was telling all these things to Tee while sitting on his bed. Tee was quietly listening to everything while sitting in front of him.

  Tawan – You look as if you don’t believe me.

  Tee – After all the crazy it you’ve said, do you expect me to believe you? You just told them you like me and got hands with me, and they believed you. That’s it?

  Tawan – hmm.

  Tee – As if that would help my situation.

  Tawan – My turn to ask you. Why didn’t you report to the police? The guy who doesn’t put up with any crap like you should want to get back at them.

  Tee – Because back then my dad filed charges. And the media found out. You might not know, but I made the front page. What was it they call me again? “A boy known as T.” There was a lot of commotion. Everyone was suddenly all over that traumatic boy because of an article on front page. Because of that article the Neighbours found out what happened to me. I couldn’t leave my house for months. Because I didn’t want people to ask me “How are you?” “You poor boy.”” Oh dear, it could’ve been worse.” Poor boy my ass. If their kids had suffered like did, they would’ve stopped being nosy.

  Tawan was listening to all this and looks at Tee. Tee also becomes silent for a while.

  Tee - That horrible experience when being chased by the media, I know it too well. It’s the same this time too. If I press charges I might get the satisfaction. Get to see them suffer from their foolishness. And then what? I’ll get dragged into this mess. I’ve had enough. I’m crazy already.

  After saying all this, Tee starts moving his hands on his head and says while looking down.

  Tee - Why does my life revolve around these people?

  Tawan becomes more dejected after hearing all this and speaks.

  Tawan – Tee. There’s something I must tell you. When I told them I like you.

  Tee – What about it?

  Tawan – I mean it. You heard it right. I think I like you.

  Tee is stunned to hear this and doesn't say anything and starts looking around the room. Tawan lies down on his bed with headphones on and starts listening to music. Tee lies down on his bed.

  Tawan smiles sweetly at Tee.

  The next day, after class, I was having lunch in the Tee canteen and started drinking water when suddenly Akin came there and putting both his hands on the table, shouting loudly, said.

  Akin – Hey, Tee. Does Tawan actually like you?

  As soon as Tee hears this, all the water sprays on Akin's face. Akin wipes his mouth with his hand without saying anything.

  Tee – What the hell did you say? I almost choked to death.

  Hearing this, Akin sits on the chair and starts picking up the tissue paper.

  Akin – I need to wipe my face. Don’t change the subject. I heard from those two.

  Tee – What did you hear?

  Akin – They said they hurt their pride and quashed the rumors about you not because they were afraid, you’d go to cops or sue them for damages. But because Tawan begged them to forgive you. He said it was his fault for being crazy in love with you. Making you hate gays and take it out on them as a result.

  Tee – How the hell are they related?

  Akin – Exactly my thoughts. How the hell are they related? They insisted that Tawan really like you. But since he made a heavy pass at straight guy like you, you felt creeped put and took it out on them as a result.

  Tee was listening to all this silently.

  Akin – In the end, Tawan said everything was his fault. If they wanted to vent their anger, they should do it on him. What if he really likes you? How can he like you? The idiot who’s been acting childish by kicking him out of the room.

  Hearing this, Tee extends his hand to punch Akin.

  Akin – Take it easy, pal.

  And he starts laughing. Tee gets irritated and starts saying.

  Tee – Are you here to slag me off?

  Akin – No, I’m just asking. So, did you guys do it?

  Tee with anger.

  Tee – You want a piece of me?

  Akin smiles.

  Akin – Impulsive. What a cruel twist of fate for Tawan for falling in love with you.

  Tee looks at Akin cross-eyed. Akin starts laughing out loud in fear and speaks.

  At night, Tawan is sitting on his bed doing his college homework. Tee comes into the room after finishing class with his bag. Tawan smiles seeing her.

  Tawan – How was your class today?

  Tee says while taking out his laptop from his bag.

  Tee – None of your business. Why did you come back so early?

  Hearing this brings a big smile on Tawan's face.

  Tawan – Worried about me?

  Tee sits on the chair, opens his laptop and teasingly shows Tawan the middle finger. Tawan smiles.

  Tawan – It’s midterm season. Time to focus on studying instead of music. Hey Tee, I bought you dinner.

  Tee – I already eat.

  Tawan – Save it for later then.

  Tee was studying on his laptop and hearing this he turns back and tells Tawan.

  Tee – Why are you doing this?

  Tawan lies down on the bed and looks at Tee and says while making an innocent face.

  Tawan – I want to take care of my crush. What’s wrong with that?

  Tee looks at him and rolls his eyes and speaks.

  Tee – Seriously. What do you want from me?

  Tawan – If I tell you will you give it to me?

  Tee – Cut the shit out.

  Tawan – I want to have sex with you.

  Tee – Is that your death wish?

  Tawan start laughing.

  Tawan – I’m just kidding. Your reaction is funnier than I thought.

  Tee – What the hell are you playing at? So, what exactly do you want?

  Tawan – The thing is I’m kidding.

  Tawan sits down and smiles.

  Tawan – But I’m also serious.

  Tee gets irritated hearing this.

  Tee – What do you mean?

  Tawan – I want to sleep with you. Don’t get mad. Let me finish first.

  Tee – Go on.

  Tawan – I want to sleep with you but not now. I told you I like you, didn’t I? And because I like you I’ll do whatever it takes to get your attention. You’re a guy, so you should know what a man wants to do with a person he likes. Therefore, watch your bake. If you let down your guard.

  Tawan had a very cute smile on his face when he was saying this.

  Tee gets more irritated and speaks.

  Tee – I’ll never sleep with you.

  Tawan smiled.

  Tawan – No more questions? Then I’ll get back to study. The way you look at me says you’re falling for me.

  Tawan laughs and starts doing his homework again. Tee starts studying on the laptop again and abuses Tawan.

  Tee - Dick.

  Next day, Tee is studying in the college campus, but he is unable to concentrate on his studies and keeps talking to himself.

  Tee – Damn! I can’t focus on all!

  Then he stands up from the chair.

  Tee – I’ve made up my mind.

  And he goes to the hostel.

  On weekends, early in the morning, Tee brings breakfast for him and for Tawan too.

  Then Tawan starts waking up and he is sleeping on his bed. Tee comes to him and kicks him gently and speaks.
