Wayo's POV.

Today marks the second day of the trip... This will also be our last day staying here with the other Moons and Stars of the compet.i.tion.

I should have woken up by now, but I still haven't. I'm sleeping like dead that I even forgot P'Pha is staying with me in the same room .

Wait... What time is it? Should I've been awaken yet? And why on earth Ai'Ming doesn't bother waking me up? Did he come back home last night? Or has he been drunken somewhere?

Well... Since my brain is thinking this much, I'd better open my eyes and get up already...

Rays of morning sunshine penetrates the room - that's what I noticed as soon as I open my eyes. I yawn, flip, rub my eyes, and suddenly found out that someone is staring at me... It's P'Pha sitting on the other side of the bed.

Whoa... Hes so handsome that his aura almost reflects the sunlight beams in the entire room. He still plays with his iPad, but it looks like he already took a shower and got dressed. I can smell him from here. He smells  awesome. His hair is half wet and half dry like I saw him last night. I don't know if I should be shocked or something else to wake up and see P'Pha first thing in the morning while I myself look so sleepy with my eyes covered with boogers...

Fuuuuck!

"You seem to enjoy sleeping a lot." He says his morning greeting. The moment it sinks in, I step right away from him as fast as I can.

"What? I didn't do anything. I slept over there on the sofa last night."

I'm not worried about that. I'm worried about how I look in front of him right now.

"Let me see." He reaches his pretty hand to touch my forehead lightly. "Your face is no longer pale. And you don't feel like having morning sickness from pregnancy anymore, right?"

"f.u.c.k you." If I've been pregnant... It's gonna be yours.

But why do I have to be the one who's getting pregnant?

"Hurry up. Take a shower. They've already started getting make up and hair done." He points to the dress in the wardrobe. They must have allocated such huge budget for this compet.i.tion alone since they provided enormous load of clothes for us to change.

"If you know they already started why didn't you wake me up?"

"I saw you slept peacefully, so I don't want to do that."

Yeah... Right...

"You're unbelievable." I pretend to be a little mad. "Did Ming came back from last night?"

"Haven't seen him."

I don't know if it's his plan not to come back to the room but it's morning already. He should be back soon.

"Look after yourself first. Are you gonna make it on time?"

"I know... I know..." I grab the towel and walk into the bathroom.

"Hurry up. I'll bring you breakfast."

"Khrub... Khrub..."

It stunted me a little after shutting the bathroom's door.

Really? P'Pha is getting me breakfast? Is this even true? Is he giving me hope or Is this just part of his inherent personality? How can he look into others so well like this?

I bite my nail nervously since I'm starting to get scared my excitement is going for nothing. He might be getting breakfast for the girls next door or everyone else too, just what he did a week ago.

Yeah... I think I really am getting excited for nothing.

Well, it doesn't matter anyway... I'm still happy.

I took a shower half merrily, half hurriedly and walk out of the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around my waist.

Instead of seeing P'Pha, there's P'Forth and Ming too. All three of them sat side by side on the sofa gawking at me.

The first person who shifts his eyes somewhere else is Ai'Ming. The moment he sees me done with my shower, he walks near me with a towel in one hand and b.u.mps lightly on my shoulder. He stinks of alcohol but looking at his face, he seems to have gotten some sleep.

"If they rape you or they fight over you... Wait for me until I finish p.o.o.ping then I'll come out to help." He whispers to me which I don't understand.

Both P'Pha and P'Forth still have their eyes glued on me which is kind of weird.

Why are you guys still looking at me?

"P'Forth, aren't you drunk?" I greeted him.

"Err...r...r... Um...m...m... No." P'Forth's voice is a little shaky. "Are you feeling better now?"

I nod. And as for P'Pha...

He throws the hanged clothes on me. "Hurry up and get dressed." He orders. "Hey Forth. Let's go help the others outside." He grabs P'Forth's neck and walks out of the room. P'Forth's still looking at me, but P'Pha keeps rushing to push him out.

I wonder what's wrong with those two,  but my eyes right now are focused on the meal on the desk. It probably came from the hotel's room service.

It's the only dish there is so will it be safe for me to conclude that it's mine?

*******
At the hotel lounge...

"Ai Ming..." I call my friend... "Hey, a.s.shole Ming..."

"Yes?" It took me a while to get his attention. Not only is he out of his daze but he's also shocked until he makes his makeup artist almost draw a line on his eyebrow to the temple. However, the makeup artist doesn't seem to mind at all.

"What are you f.u.c.king daydreaming about?" I'm all set, so I just have to wait for my friend get his makeup done. He seems like he's not himself today, but he seems to be quite in a good mood.

This only means something must have happened last night.

"Did you score a Star or something? I always ask him direct questions. It's just simple, I want to know whom he slept with last night.

"Score my a.s.s... I didn't do anything. I just went to drink with the P's..."

"Why didn't you come back to our room then?"

"How could I? I don't want to interrupt my friend spending time with his happiness."

"Happiness my a.s.s..." Nothing happened. We just came back from Seven-Eleven to eat shrimp wonton soup and then P'Pha simply told me to go to bed.

But it's not that easy to go to sleep. It took me some time to get it with P'Pha sitting right next to me on the other side of the bed.

"Well, never mind that... I think you two are getting along quite well now... A lot better in fact."

"Really?"

"He ordered breakfast for you."

"Umm..."

"It's not even spicy."

"So?"

"He cares..." Ming concludes. "Is it possible that both of you are actually secretly in love with each other?"

I almost choked. "I don't think so. You look at me and him before you speak."

"Yo..." Ming speaks with a serious tone. "Have you looked at yourself in the mirror..? No No No..." He scolds me from trying to fix myself in front of the mirror he was holding. I really don't understand what he's trying to tell me. "You made the Campus Moon and his First Runner Up stare at you without blinking their eyes right after you're done showering. I don't think that's nothing. That's something... You are something. And stop thinking that you're ugly, okay?"

"They were staring? No way." I don't think they did stare at me that much like what he says.

"Idiot... You have no f.u.c.king idea." Ming says. "You should probably start cleaning your front yard since from now on, you'll only have Moons and more Moons courting you if you continue scattering your charm all over the place like this."

I don't know what to say.

"Nong'Yo..." I havent even prepared my response to Ming yet when P'Forth approaches us handing me a bottle of fresh drinking water. "You need to drink more water... I see you sweat."

Ming quirks his eyebrows at me repeatedly while I move my mouth silently to scold him. "I'm not really feeling that hot P'..."

"Are you sure? You still have to take a lot of pictures today." P'Forth said with a worried tone. "Let me know if you feel sick or something, okay?"

"Thank you, khrub P'... You are so kind..." Ming still makes a teasing face at me.

It might just have been a coincidence that Kook'Kai and some of her friends approach P'Pha to talk to him. At that time, he was sitting at the far end corner of the area along with other soph.o.m.ore Moons. He looks so hot among those girls. However, no one really knows where his eyes focus at or what he might be thinking behind those thick sungla.s.ses he's wearing.

"There's not much activity for today. We will just take a clip for your individual self-introduction which they'll use for your talent show. They will only take a single shot of you and the other is with your Star, do you understand?" P'Forth speaks with a serious voice making me wonder if he's one of those haze members or not, but he looks like one of them in my opinion...

"Khrub P'..."

"Ming... I want you to be very charming and handsome... Engineering Faculty never fails to hit the Top Three."

"That's so depressing, P'..." Ai Ming complains.

"As for Nong'Yo..." P'Forth turns to me "... You don't need to be too handsome. You're not suitable to have that 'cool' or handsome style for your image."

"Why should I have a different concept from Ming?"

"I'm just pointing out your unique personality." He smiles and pats my head gently.

"Why P'Forth, you're so unfair! You're making double standards." Ming complains. "When you talk to me... You're giving out orders like we're in a military camp, but with Ai'Yo, you're giving him sweet talks." ?

"b.a.s.t.a.r.d... Look at your face then tell me why." P'Forth laughs. "I'm leaving... See you at the photo shoot." He ruffles my hair then leaves.

Ming quirks his eyebrows at me again. "Told you so... Told you so... Told you so..."

"a.s.shole..." I shake my head and shifted my gaze towards the Insane Med Students Gang. No more crowd of girls surrounding P'Pha now... Only P'Beam and P'Kit.

How I want to see those eyes under that pair of sungla.s.ses he's wearing.

And why does it looks like they're directed this way?

********
At the video shoot venue...

"Sawadee khrub... My name is Yo. WaYo PNit-ChYSWad representing the Faculty of Science under Kantaphat University."

It only needs one take for me to complete the shooting for the video clip. P'Ging seems very proud of my performance. (I don't think she expected me to be this good. She's been cheering up Nate more lately.) Once done, we were headed for our photo shoot this time. It takes quite longer than I thought. I smile until my jaws become stiff. Worse, I have to sip a lot of water and redo the make up because I've been sweating all over. My shirt is all wet.

Oops! This image does not follow our content guidelines. To continue publishing, please remove it or upload a different image.

Do you know why I find it harder than shooting for the clip? It's because Mr. Phana Kong-TNin is standing in front of me watching.

He keeps on checking my photo on the monitor then shifts his gaze back at me. He's doing it many times - staring and not saying anything... Don't you have any idea how it makes me feel so embarra.s.sed right now?

"Yo... Relax. You look too stressful. Are you okay?" P'Photographer now has to say something. It's taking too long than the rest of us having their photos taken.

"Khrub?"

"Be yourself... Smile like you always do."

I couldn't... I couldn't smile... Don't you understand? I want to tell them that, but I also don't want to be kicked out by poor Mr. Photographer. I don't know what to do anymore. Can't you go somewhere? P'Pha shifts his curious gaze towards me again.

I'm sweating heavy and melting at the same time.

"We're taking too long with him. Ai'Pha, Can you show him how to do it?"

Good. I need to take a break and walk away from the backdrop. Let P'Pha show me how to be a model. He looks confused and points to himself like asking the photographer. My face doesn't look happy at all because I want this to be done. It's taking too long like they said.

Oops! This image does not follow our content guidelines. To continue publishing, please remove it or upload a different image.

It's not fair... P'Pha doesn't have to do anything. He just puts his hands inside his pockets and he becomes handsome right away.

Not fair at all...

"Like that, Yo. Do you get it?"

P'Photographer takes his pictures repeatedly until P'Pha has to stop.

"Can you teach him?" He wants P'Pha to help me.

I heaved a deep sigh. This d.a.m.n photo shoot makes me feel upset.

"Hey..." P'Pha pats my shoulder. "How are you holding up?"

"Not good..." I said, shaking my head.

P'Pha does it again, that rare smile he's hiding at the corner of his mouth. "I know... I can see that the photographer is too picky."

I frown and raise my head to look at the tall figure standing beside me. d.a.m.n! He's wearing thick sungla.s.ses that conceal his eyes but he can still make me feel so shy nonetheless. You really are something!

'Can't you just leave for a few minutes, though? I couldn't work having you around.' How am I going to tell him that?

"Err...r...r... You." I said carefully. "I..."

If I chase him away in a straightforward manner, will he possibly go psycho on me?

"What is it?"

"I want a can of Coca Cola."

"Want me to buy it for you?" He points to himself.

"Err... You're the only one I know around here, what can I do?"

I have no choice. I'll just wait and let him use me next time, then we're even. I'm very sorry but I need to get this done with first...

I close my eyes to get myself ready from hearing him yell at me....

But he didn't. There's a big hand that strokes my head playfully. "Hmmm... I'll be right back."

Shiiiiiiit! I look up and see P'Pha leaving. He didn't yell... He didn't complain at all. Has another kind of spirit possessed him again? I probably have made a very happy face that even Mr. Photographer was able to notice it.

"There There There... That face. I want that face.... Do it again, Yo..."

Now I get it. He wants me to show the 'Being in Love' face in front of the camera.

*******
A few hours later...

Finally, everything is all set. Well, except the group photo of course in which we are still waiting for other missing members.

Ming takes me along with him. We walk barefoot on the beach fully dressed. He said he needs my help taking his pictures for his Instagram post.

"Ready?"

He made a wacky pose. "Do you really have to make your face like that?"

Oops! This image does not follow our content guidelines. To continue publishing, please remove it or upload a different image.

"Yeah, just take it... Make sure to include the ocean in the background, okay?"

I'm fighting the urge to laugh looking at him with his goofy face on.

There... Just a few more clicks and he walks away... What the h.e.l.l???

The idiot just left me there on the beach... What's wrong with him? Well, since I'm already here... I sat down and looked at the wide blue sea. It's so beautiful. I might not have a chance to come to this place if I haven't become the Moon of Science.

I fished my phone out to take some pictures when all of a sudden...

Smack!

A can of Coccola knocks on my head lightly. s.h.i.t! I forgot I asked P'Pha to get it for me awhile ago.

"I've been looking around for you." He complains then pa.s.ses the c.o.ke before sitting himself right beside me.

That's it for a complain? I totally forgot about him and spent some time with Ming but he didn't blame me or anything at all.

"What are you doing here?"

"It's beautiful here." I said. "Thank you na."

"It's not cold anymore. Been looking for you for quite too long."

"Sorry."

"Forget it." P'Pha cuts short. "Do you want me to take a picture of you? I saw you were going to take one." He looks at my phone.

"Oh... Never mind." Just him standing there while I was taking the photoshoot, makes me feel shy to death, what more if he becomes my photographer this time? Do you think I'll look okay?

"Come on." He's trying to grab my phone from my hand.

"No way."

"Why?" He whines. "It's not easy to go to the beach in your best outfit. Don't you want to take a picture of yourself?"

"No."

"Up to you." He gives up finally which makes me held out a sigh of relief. "I have a question for you..."

"Hmm?" P'Pha saying it with his eyes glued at me heightened my curiosity.

"Am I such a bad person in your eyes?"

Not at all.

I just want to answer his question without worrying about anything but I don't understand why did he ask me about it in the first place?

"Um... I don't think so."

"Really? Even though I've been such a jerk to you?"

"I've been such a jerk too."

"I'm sorry..." P'Pha scratches his head. "s.h.i.t... This is not easy."

"What is it?" I'm confused.

"No No Nothing..." He looks away.

"What's the matter?" I ask him because he looks worried.

"Forth says he likes you..."

I feel like I was severely hit by the sea waves straight to my face. I could almost sense its salty taste though it actually never reached me where I am sitting at.

It's a totally different feeling listening from Ming than hearing it directly from P'Pha. It's totally different...

How about you? Have you ever liked me at all?

"So?"

I can feel my voice turn a little bit shaky which is why I try as much as I can not to look at him.

"I just want to know what you think about it."

"Are you trying to help him?"

"No... It's none of my business." His quick response didn't help me feel better at all. "Are you okay?"

"No. I'm not okay." I stood up and brushed out the sand from my jeans. "Are they leaving?"

Oops! This image does not follow our content guidelines. To continue publishing, please remove it or upload a different image.

"What are you being mad about?"

"I'm mad at you."

"Why?"

"You are..." I just want to kick the sand straight to his stupid face right now.

I feel hurt again.

If I confess my feelings towards him right now. Is he gonna kick me?

Or will it end up well and happy?

I didn't dare to think anymore.

"Yo. What's wrong?" P'Pha grabs my hand when I start to walk away.

"Let go of my hand..."

"Am I making you mad?"

"Yes, you are!" I yell at him. "I'm so mad at you right now."

"What? Why?"

"You never understand anything."

I'm so mad... Mad enough that I couldn't speak anything better than that.

"Look into my eyes ... What do you think I am trying to tell you?"

P'Pha releases my hand as I walk away from him. Now I'm mad at myself that I couldn't even come up with anything better than what I'd just told him.

I don't know how he's going to infer to it. But that's my style of confessing to him.

I just don't know if it can reach P'Pha's brain or not... At the very least.

*******
Without Wayo's knowledge...

"Kit..."

"Hey, Pha. Where were you? We're ready to leave now."

"Where's Yo?"

"Already left with Forth and his friends, I guess. Why? What's the matter? Did you both have a fight?"

"Yes, I guess."

"Pha... What's going on with you?"

"I..."

"What the f.u.c.k is wrong?"

"I'm happy."

"What?"

"Nong'Yo is still the same... He still loves me..."

"Fuuuuu! But what are you doing here then? Go ask him to be your boyfriend already!!!"

"I don't know I'm so shy."

"Shy? Aren't you worried that Ai'Forth is taking him back home right now?"

"..."

"Why are you still thinking? Stupid Jerk. How long have you been loving each other? What are you waiting for this time?"

"Where's your phone?"

"Why?"

"I need his phone number."
