*This story is all fictional and I use some of the real-life places and some other stuff as a ref and this story contain some violent stuff too*
A club in a high school huh? I wonder which club I should join maybe a club where I can just slack off and do nothing since the club that I've been staying in the photography club got disband because the member makes a god damn bomb out of a camera I don't know how but that person finds a way to make it and the reason is that he made it for fun, and the teacher that supervises the photography club got fired too. Jesus, I need to stay away from this type of people.
Now, which club should I choose? Maybe the one that I can slack off this time. That would be nice but the reality is often disappointing. While I was thinking my friend Nam asks me
"Don't know which one to join Six?"
I answer
"Yeah, I have no clue at all, you know I just want to join a club where I can take it easy."
Nam replies with
"Art club then, since the new teacher who's in charge of supervising the club is pretty cool and chill."
Wow, never think of that. I must be dumb or something, well probably because the art club last year is pretty much all serious and no fun, but this time I heard that the new art teacher is pretty cool, just from what Nam told me anyway. Well, I guess will have a look then.
I walk to the shoe stand in front of my class, I pick up my shoe and wear it, then I walk to the art room to have a look and wow, there's only one person there. This person looks kinda handsome, he has light pink eye with a gentle gaze and wears glasses.
"Having a look?"
He asks me, and I reply
"Yes, I still don't know which club I should join but I probably end up here if nothing interests me."
That person replies
"Oh cool, let's hope that you will join then."
he said that as he gives me a soft and gentle smile. That smile on his face looks so soft that it makes me want to join this club. But no that probably one of his tricks to get a beautiful maiden like me to join the club. I walk into the room and have a look around and forget about taking the shoes off before entering the room, hope that he doesn't mind it. Suddenly he looks at me and said,
"Oh, my name is Nung by the way, I'm in mathayom 4, I'm the only mathayom 4 kid here in the room and I'm the oldest here of the member group, I also take care of everything here since the teacher is lazy as hell, the other club teacher is always there with their student just to take care of the stuff and give us the order of what to do but this person wants to use this time to relax and sleep hahaha"
He gives me his name and all of the detail even though I didn't even say that I will join the club, it like he think that I will join the club for sure. He looks at me with a very gentle and warm smile this time and says
"I know that there're no other clubs for you because my club is perfect for you."
I quickly ask him
"What makes you think that?"
To which he replied,
"You want to slack off right."
Now he said it with a big smile on his face as if he was waiting to say this.
"Don't worry it not like there will be any trouble here, since the club supervisor is also lazy so he can't do anything about that. Plus if everyone takes this club seriously then you would have found all 8 members here in the club, but just so you know everyone must draw at least once in a while, it can also be a random scribble as long as you put your feeling into it. Because everything is art."
He does have a point about people in this club can do whatever they want. But a random scribble? Really? Now that exaggerating.
"A random scribble? what? there's no way that can be art you're exaggerating right now you know that?"
to which he replied
"Well, why don't you open that box over there under the table. That's where we kept everything that we draw and paint. There're a lot of boxes so pick one."
Well, I left with no choice but to look at it. I walk to the table that Nung mentions and get one of the boxes out of there and have a look at it.
I found both a canvas and paper, some of them are just random scribbles like he said but when I look at it I can sense some kind of emotion from it? Just wow. There's also a realistic drawing, a cartoon, graffiti, and what's this? Someone is making a manga? well, I guess that guy really likes manga then. But well for me I don't like reading the Thai language anyway I prefer English, but damn this guy's art style is pretty good, maybe I will give it a try if this guy publishes a story.
But for real I can't Imagine stuff like manga going to boom here in Thailand so I guess this person will be better off in Japan or something.
After I look at some of the art that all of the members made, I've decided that I will join this club, because it really just like what he said. Plus I probably can sleep here inside this club without any problem. After all, he said that everyone here in the club can do whatever they want. I put everything back in the box and turn around to tell Nung that I will join the club but he's gone. Is he a ninja or something? Well, at least I got to look at what he was painting on the canvas. To my surprise, it's a butterfly. The color that he used is red and black. No, it's not a normal red color. It's red like blood. it also looks like the butterfly is struggling with something. The more I look at it, the more I feel... sad?
Then suddenly a kid came into the room. He has brown hair with brown eyes and he looks pretty generic but cute? He looks like he in mathayom 1 judge from his height. Then he suddenly asks me.
"You're the girl that brother Nung talks about right?"
I reply
"Yes? why?"
and he asks me
"Well what do you think sis"
to which I reply
"Well think about it now I guess it's fine joining this club since it looks fun, plus he said that I can slack off here without any problem."
that boy looks at me with a face that looks like he about to say
"Argh... you people."
And suddenly he said,
"Argh... you people."
Hah, guess I was right
"Well, not like I care anyway since to draw something must come from your feeling anyway. So don't forget to draw something once in a while now sis."
He said that as he walks toward the painting that I've been looking at,
"It's weird, right? this painting, well I'll be taking this then since brother Nung ask me to get this plastic paint palette to him."
He said that as he picks it up
"Well, where is he?"
I said
"He's in a toilet washing his hand"
The kid replied then said
"Don't think much about it because it would have been better that way."
"What do you mean by that?"
I ask him and he replies with
"Well I don't want to say it because I don't want to make a newcomer feel uncomfortable plus if you wanna know it I suggest find it out by yourself sis, Only I know about his paint special color anyway. Oh and by the way, my name is Tongkam nice to meet you, and next week every member will be here to meet you and give you a warm welcome."
He said that as he gives me a creepy smile and walks away, I didn't even get a chance to say my name but well we still meet each other next week anyway so I guess there's no problem. I think that I will have a great time staying here since I can slack off so that's fine. But what that kid Tongkam said about Nung's special color really got me curious. Well, I don't have the time to be curious now, maybe later. Now let just head back to my class. As I walk I saw Nung, he probably goes back to the art room now. He saw me and ask me
"Have your answer yet?" to which I reply "Yes, and the answer is I will join the club."
Now he has a happy look on his face
"Thanks for joining and don't forget to come here next week."
He said that as he walks past me. I turn back to say sure with a happy tone but I don't have the chance to say it due to my eye catch on what seems to be some red paint on the side of his shirt. After I realize that I've been standing there for a while looking at that paint stain on him he already walks far enough that my voice will probably not going to reach him already, so it's not necessary to say it anyway, since I'll meet him next week. Let hope that this club will not have any weird trouble like my old club anyway.
But that's what I think. Because this is the start of a butterfly effect.
Another week pass. I don't even know that time went by that fast, well today is Tuesday and I have a club meeting. I'm looking forward to knowing everyone inside the club and I hope that they will be friendly with me. I walk to the art room with my bag and open the door, inside there were 7 peoples there, they all sit on the floor. I take my shoes off and place them beside the door where everyone places their shoes at and I quickly greet everyone in the room.
"Hello, I'm the new member here."
A guy beside Nung stand up and welcome me.
"Hi, I'm the supervisor of this club and my name is Shok Naramta you can call me Kru or Ajarn Sangob. Now everyone introduces yourself to the new club member."
This teacher Sangob has toasty topaz eyes with dark hair and a serious face but I can tell that he's the same as me, a lazy bastard hahaha. Suddenly a girl with short black hair and lapis eyes stand up and said.
"Hello I'm Ploy Pananorn you can call me Bai, I'm M.1 and this guy beside me is Marut Lumpat you can call him Sushi He's M.3"
The guy name Sushi has dark brown hair with dark brown eyes and from the looks of it, he must be her boyfriend judging from how he acts beside her. Then another boy who has light green hair with dark green eyes introduces himself.
"I'm Ricel Annuk you can call me Moon, I'm M.2"
He looks like he wants to get this over with, probably the shy type. Then The guy sitting beside Moon introduces himself with lustful eyes.
"Anajag Tawattong or you can call me King and I'm M.2. I'm single and I don't mind having someone like you as my girlfriend sis."
He has a beautiful face with Azure eyes and grey hair, he really good-looking but his attitude makes me dislike him. A guy like him tends to cheat on their partner anyway. Then suddenly Nung speaks up with an annoying tone.
"King, it's true that we can basically do anything in this club. But that doesn't mean that you can hit on every new member who's a girl. You remember why we have only 6 members instead of 13 right? All of them don't want to come to the club because of That problem you know."
Then King speaks up.
"It's not entirely my fault. Some of it is also yours too. But on the bright side, we still have someone who doesn't care about the situation and still come here every time."
Nung reply.
"You're right, but just remember that you're the cause of the problem."
Look like they're having a little fight. But not gonna lie, the way that Nung speak up like he was protecting me from that predator is pretty cool. It making my heart melt. Maybe I'm in love... Just kidding, even if I am, it just way too sudden. Then Nung looks at me and introduced himself.
"Oh, right I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Wan Jaggarn or Nung and I'm M.4, this guy beside me is Tanu Jaggarn or you can call him Tongkam he's M.1, you probably know both of our nicknames already but not our real names. So I guess another introduction ain't gonna hurt. Also, I'm the club president. The vice president is King, but just so you know it's not like having those status is a big deal anyway, right king?"
"You damn right brother."
King replied. But Nung and Tongkam have the same last name? So that means they are brothers. Well, they both have light pink eyes but their hair color is different. Nung's hair color is pink while Tongkam is pale pink. But that not much of a difference anyway.
"Right, now it's your turn to introduce yourself Six."
Guess it's my turn now... Wait how did he know my name?
"Hi, I'm Pisamai Canarat you can call me Six and I'm M.4... By the way, how did you know my name? If I remember correctly only you and Tongkam give me your name and I haven't given you guys mine yet."
Nung then said.
"Your friend Nam is my childhood friend and she texts me on the phone saying that you will be having a look at the art club that's how I know."
I ask him.
"Nam? You mean that long brown hair girl with cobalt eyes color right?"
Then he said.
"Yeah, last week she texts me if a girl with light blue hair and a magenta eyes color come to my club, and I said yes. She texts me 5 minutes before we met. She told me your nickname that day but she hasn't told me your real name yet, so I don't know your real name. Well until now."
The detail that he said is me alright, so that's why he knew my name. Damn, he scared me there, I thought that he was interested in me or something. But that probably only in my head, maybe I really have a feeling for him.
"Ah... You got some connection I see."
King speaks up.
"I'm not like you king. I'm not interested to be in a relationship just so you know. I'm not ready for it yet, I'll just hurt my partner feeling."
Huh? Not ready to be in a relationship? Now I feel disappointed. Well anyway, I walk to the group and sit on the floor beside Nung and Tongkam with my bag beside me.
"Wanna do anything special?"
Nung asked.
"I don't know."
I replied. Suddenly Nung said.
"Sleep then, is that fine everyone? Since today we have lots of homework so a little relax ain't gonna hurt."
Kru Sangob then said.
"Good idea! I also have lots of work from the office."
Everyone in the club except Tongkam said with an enthusiastic tone.
"Hell yeah!"
Then everyone goes to find their spot to sleep. Bai and Sushi open a drawer and get a pillow and blanket out like they have been waiting for this moment. Moon and king play a mobile game with Kru Sangob. Tongkam laid down on the floor as he listening to music while Nung goes to his bag to pick up a book, a pencil, and an eraser. After that, he walks back to where Tongkam and I sit. Everyone really takes it easy here. I like it.
"Gonna draw?"
I asked. To which he replies.
"Yeah duh. There's nothing for me to do here"
"Can I look?"
I asked.
"Yeah. Do whatever you want I don't mind."
Nung starts to draw as I watch him. The way he holds the pencil is very gentle like he was afraid of hurting it, every stroke that Nung made is very elegant and beautiful... Including him too. While he was drawing he suddenly slaps his left thigh.
"The hell is climbing on my thigh. Gosh, I hate these school short so much. Those ants and shit can freely climb up my leg and it annoying as ****!"
Wow, he just swears. Well not like I expect him to be all good with no bad side anyway, plus it normal for people to swear anyway. After that, he went back to drawing but this time when he draws I saw a red stain on the left side of his sketchbook.
"You like painting too huh? Especially with red color."
I asked him. He replies with.
"Yeah? Why? And how did you know?"
Then I said
"Well there is red paint on your book and it looks like it's new too, so it not that hard to guess. So did you also draw in your class too?"
After I said that, he ignored my question and quickly check the corner of his sketchbook and he found a red stain there. When he looks at it he has a shocked expression on his face for a second, and he quickly touches his left thigh again and again like he was trying to confirm something. I look at him with a confused gaze. Tongkam sees Nung touch his left thigh and the area that he touches is around the pocket area so he asks Nung.
"Forget something, big bro?"
Now Nung has a worried expression. As he was done touching his thigh he quickly pulls his shorts down to his knee and put his sketchbook and everything down. Now Tongkam has a worried look on his face.
"Something happens? Maybe I can help with it."
I said that to him, and he replies quickly.
"Nothing happens. Don't worry about it Six."
Nung said that but I don't believe it. I look at his left thigh and saw something on it. It looks like red paint. Did he perhaps has a small bottle of red color on his left school short pocket and maybe it leaks out? As I thinking about it, Nung stands up and go to his bag and it looks like he was getting something from his bag.
"Look like he getting something. Maybe I think too much."
Tongkam said that as he continues listening to the music. While Nung picking up something from his bag I notice that the red paint starting to drip down from his thigh, but he didn't feel it at all? Weird. I didn't think much about it so I grab a tissue in my chest pocket and walk to Nung.
"Here Nung."
I said that to Nung and he startles.
"Ah! Hey, don't just sneak behind me like that. I got startled easily Six."
Nung said.
"Well, just look at your left thigh there's some red paint dripping out."
I said that as I pull up his left leg school short and tried to clean it for him.
"SIX NO!"
Nung quickly swipes my hand away with an angry expression. Bai and Sushi look at us, probably think that Nung and I have a little fight.
"Ah, no, I'm sorry. Well, thank you for the tissue."
He said that as he secretly picks up something from his bag and left the room. Then Tongkam called out his Nung name.
"Hey Nung, that happen again right? Let me help you out."
Tongkam said.
"Nah it's fine don't worry about it, I can take care of it, little brother."
Nung said that as he smiles cheerfully. Then Tongkam sigh and said.
"Hah, fine but promise to try to stop doing whatever it is alright?"
Nung replies.
"Alright alright, thanks for worrying about me little bro, just trust me it's nothing big of a deal at all."
After Nung said that he walks away, I smell secrets. I ask Tongkam.
"Something happened?"
He replies
"Nothing much, he already said it so don't worry"
Then I reply with.
"Alright then."
Dunno what it is but it probably some secret both of them know. Nung probably got to the toilet now, then I look down at my hand and notice that I also got some red paint on my hand too, I didn't think much about it so I just go and wash my hand even though the color doesn't look like any regular red paint at all. I walk out of the art room and went to the nearby restroom right around the corner of the art room. It was a very small area there're only 2 rooms, one for men and one for women, and right beside there is a sink. How convenient I don't even need to wear my shoes to walk here unless I have to use the restroom. As I wash my hand I see 3 small drops of red paint in front of the male restroom. It probably Nung. But why did he went inside the room instead of using the sink? That kinda weird.
I walk to the door and was about to knock on the door when I notice something strange about those small drops of red paint, So I have a look closer. Now that I look at it, it doesn't look like red paint at all but instead, it looks like... blood? What? I get a tissue from my chest pocket then wipe it. Now I look closer at it, it really is blood... Nung's blood? Then that's not red paint... What is going on?
I knock on the door of the male restroom and ask if Nung is inside.
"Hey Nung you there? Hello? Nung?"
Then There's a voice came out from the room.
"Six? The hell are you doing? This is sexual harassment you know."
That definitely Nung voice. Then the door opens, and I see Nung's hand have a red stain on it. that must be blood from his left thigh. I quickly pull up his left leg school short but this time he didn't have enough time to react, and I saw a tissue with paper tape over it and there's some small red stain around it. Now I can guarantee that it's not red paint... Its blood. I also see a glimpse of a cut scar around it too, And there're lots of it. Then that means Nung has been harming himself.
"No... Nung... Did you di-"
I didn't get a chance to finish my sentence because Nung grabs my arm pulls me inside the men's restroom. Nung put his hand that still has some blood on it to my mouth closing it, telling me to be quiet.
"Shhhhh, what the hell did you think you're doing."
He asked me as he slowly moves his hand away from my mouth. So I say.
"I was just trying to wash my hand, but I saw a small blood drop in front of the room and I have some suspicion that the red paint that I saw on your thigh might be blood and I just have to confirm it."
Nung shakes his head.
"Nung did Tongkam know about this? What about your parent? What about everyone inside the club? And why did you do this to yourself?"
I asked him.
"None of your business, and stop asking questions. I don't want to answer it plus I don't want your sympathy. So please forget about everything that you see here and move on."
Nung replied to me.
"Yes, it IS my business. You're now someone I know and YOU are also the club president and TONGKAM big brother. Also don't act like you don't need my sympathy, I can see it in your eyes Nung. You need help, you want help. So why are you rejecting it."
I said that as Nung look away from me telling me that what I said is correct. Suddenly Nung starts crying, he tries his best to hold it back but he failed. And I can see the sorrow in his eyes when I look at them. At least all of those videos that I learn about body language actually paid off.
"You don't understand."
Nung said that while his voice is shaking.
"Then tell me so that I can understand."
I slowly and gently hug him. While he was standing still and doing nothing.
"No... No... No no no no... I don't want to and I will not. So please get out. If anyone found us like this they will get the wrong idea."
Nung said that and avoid eye contact with me. While he's looking away I saw the tape on his left thigh become loose and the blood starts to come out.
"Nung let me help you with that."
I said that as I crouch down and pull the tape with the tissue on his left thigh out.
"W-what are you doing?"
Nung said that as he tries to push me away, but this time he does it gently.
"Don't worry about it, I was just trying to help you with your wound. I will not hurt you, I will be gentle I promise and I will help you with whatever problem that you were having, so you can tell me about it, or just tell me another time when you feel like it."
He looks at me in the eyes and I can tell that he doesn't believe what I just said.
"Nung, I will be by your side I promise so trust me. I will help you."
Nung's expression now suddenly change. Now he stops crying and his facial expression becomes angry? No, it more like he's agitated.
"By my side huh? Why did you want to be by my side? Did you know have any clue what did you just say? Did you have any clue what have you gotten yourself into? Did you really think... That I need help? And what makes you think that you can fix everything in the first place? Six, Once the glass is shattered it can no longer be fixed. Even if you manage to put all of the pieces back together, there's still a crack in it and it can no longer change back to its original form."
I was shocked by the word that came out of his mouth. I don't know how to respond. When I look at his face, it's a completely different person now.
"Got nothing to say?"
Nung said.
"I just don't know how to respond after I heard that."
I replied.
"But you're right Nung, once the glass is shattered it can't be fixed back to how it once looked like. Even if you know how to fix it and succeed it, it still has all of those cracks. It might not be beautiful... But that glass can still be used. You know that right."
Nung was surprised after he heard all of those words from me. Then he said.
"But just so you know. Not everyone will find the value of it... Not even the owner."
What Nung said just now... He must be referring to himself for sure.
"But I see it. I see the value of it. You can still change Nung but what you've done is already done. It can't be changed, because it's already in the past. Right now it's about the present and the future. You can still change Nung. That broken glass can still be used."
Nung sigh. After he heard what I just said and he wipes the tear off of his face. Nung grabs a paper tape in his right leg pocket and gives it to me.
"Alright think whatever you want and do whatever you want. Here, the paper tape but I don't have tissue ok? You have to use some of your Six. And hope you understand that I don't want to go to the infirmary room because it will be big trouble if they see all of these scars."
I nodded and say. But to be honest I didn't expect it to be this easy talking to him.
"Yes, I understand."
I take the paper tape and start patching his wound up. The wound is pretty deep and it bleeding quite a lot. But at least I stop it for now.
"Nung that's a pretty deep wound and there's lots of blood coming out now. Hey, what about we go to the pharmacy and buy some stuff to clean your wound."
asked him and now he replies with.
"I can do it at my home because I have all of the stuff there, plus it's not life-threatening."
That means he has been doing this pretty often. Then I said.
"If you say so. But hey, are you really going to clean it at your home?"
Nung then replies.
"Don't trust me? How about you come into my house and watch me then."
after that, I say without thinking.
"Good idea."
Nung looks surprised.
"Six, you know that you're coming inside a man's house right now right."
Now I start to think... When I think about it now, it's probably not the best idea to answer it that way without thinking. Now I start to blush a bit.
"B-b-but if you send me a photo you can just fake it out r-r-r-right?"
What am I saying right now? I have to stop before this went out of control.
"Whatever, if you want to come then come. But don't touch anything ok?"
Oh no, Nung already said it, I want to say that I change my mind but... Argh whatever, to hell with it.
"Change your mind?"
Nung asked.
"N-no, well let's get going then others must be waiting for us."
Great. Look at what I've got myself into... Thanks, Six. Let just think of it as going to a friend's house then. Just ignore the feeling that I have, for now. He might get the wrong idea if I show those feeling when I'm at his house. Let just stay quiet for now.
Nung opens the door and looks around checking if there's anyone around after he is done checking he look at me and said.
"Come on."
Both of us walk back to the art room and everyone was staring at us.
"Brother? Sis Six? What have you two been doing?"
Tongkam asked us.
"Why did you ask that, I just clean myself and Six just saw me and wait for me."
Nung said that and then King speaks up.
"Hey, you sure? Then why is she sweating and blushing."
Huh? I'm blushing? Sweating too? I look at my cloth and my cloth is soaked with my sweat. I look at Nung cloth, he also soaks in sweat. But at least we didn't sweat way more than this. It must be that both of us stay inside the small tiny restroom and it must be hot, but I didn't even feel the heat at all.
"What? Did you think that I just **** her? You guys are unbelievable."
Nung suddenly said that without any warning. Everyone is in shock including me. Now I'm sweating a bullet and my face is red like a tomato.
"Nung? Six just join and she's a girl you know."
Kru Sangob said.
"I'm just joking. While I was washing my hand we have a little conversation and you could say that we've become closer hahaha."
Nung said that and laugh it off. I'm dying from embarrassment and I want to hit his face so bad!
"Alright, I guess it is time for all of us to go home now."
Nung said that as he looks at me.
"Let's go."
Then I reply.
"A-alright."
Nung walk up to Tongkam and said.
"Six will be coming to our home hope you don't mind"
Tongkam look at Nung with a confused face and said.
"Six coming? Uh... I guess that's fine."
He looks at me like he wants to ask something but he rather not. I wish I can change the decision right now, but well things already decided and it just me being me. So I just have to roll with it.
\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=
Here is the translation of some of the word that I use here
M. \= Mathayom
Mathayom \= grade (Like grade 1 but in this case, it's grade 10)
Kru/Arjarn \= Teacher
I hope all of you reading this enjoy it, after all this is my first story that I made. So I hope you enjoy it.
**This part has a bit of violent**
Nung and I walk to the infirmary room. Both of us look around for the nurse, but it looks like the nurse isn't here, Nung quickly walk to the cabinet and grab all of the stuff that he needs... Well, it more like stealing anyway. I don't blame him for making this decision, a stranger was about to go to his home anyway.
30 minute earlier
Nung, Tongkam, and I were walking to the parking lot inside our school since I and Nung drive a motorbike to school and Tongkam is Pillion. While walking Nung look at Tongkam and said.
"Hey, why don't you go to the front gate of the school and wait for me there I'll get the motorbike and pick you there it just way faster, plus me and Six have something to do."
Tongkam then said.
"Is that so?"
Tongkam look at Nung's eye and said.
"Is there something that I don't know?"
Then Nung says.
"No, nothing and don't worry about it, my overprotective little brother."
Nung said that as he winks to Tongkam. Tongkam let out a sigh and say.
"Alright alright, I trust you. But please don't hesitate to tell me if you something's wrong."
Tongkam now walks in a different direction heading to the front gate, I'm sure that he knows something's up but he respects Nung's privacy and didn't want to ask anything further than that. While we were walking halfway to the parking lot Nung look at me and said.
"Hey Six, let go to the infirmary room."
I was surprised by his word so I ask him.
"What? Why? You have lots of cut scars right? If the nurse sees it then it will be lots of trouble. Or did I get something wrong?"
Nung looks at me and sighs.
"Haaah, You really have no idea Six. I didn't want to go there because I want the school nurse to treat my wound. Instead, I will steal some stuff inside that room and do it myself. That's a good idea right?"
I look at him dead in the eye asking myself is he serious but from the way that he talks and the movement of his body he's dead serious.
"Nung are you serious? We could get into big trouble you know."
I said that as Nung quickly replies.
"Nope, don't worry. The nurse isn't inside the room right now. How do I know? Easy, I saw her sitting on a bench beside the science room, and I'm certain that the infirmary room right now is empty since no one in this school is good at it than her. But sometimes there will be another teacher helping her do stuff."
I listen to Nung talk about how the infirmary room work and operates. He knows a lot about it.
"So that's why this is the perfect time for us to go inside and get some stuff. Well, you might say that it's stealing and it is bad, but it more like self-service you know. Because when there is no one inside the room, we students have to do stuff by our self but we have to write our name in the book just to let the school nurse know too. The thing is I will not write my name I don't see the point of doing it anyway, and well everything that I said also on the poster inside the room. Plus you don't really want to come into my house too right? You just said that because you didn't think about it thoroughly and said whatever your mind wants to say, and I was also joking anyway. Well, let's not waste our time and go."
He knows... Wow. I didn't even speak a word out and Nung already runs toward the infirmary room and heads inside. So I left with no choice but to follow him inside, maybe it was better this way who knows.
Present
"Nung I have a bad feeling about this can you hurry up a bit."
I said that to Nung with a worried voice. What he said that self-service might be true since it said it right here in this poster. But still, it feels like we were stealing something.
"Jeez, don't worry and trust me okay?"
He said that as he grabs everything that he needs.
"Okay, got everything now. Now follow me."
Nung walk to the storage room inside the infirmary room, he opens it and walks inside, I follow him inside and after that, he closes the door. Inside the storage room, there's a window, when I look at it I can see the boy and the girl dorm from here. I can see outside but anyone from the outside can't see me here because this window has a perforated with a forest picture stick outside of the window, so anyone outside can't see what I'm doing here. While I was looking outside Nung lift his shorts up to look at the wound.
He began to take the paper tape out slowly, I can clearly see his wound and it's kinda deep but not deep enough to be life-threatening. Nung put his hand out gesturing to me to give him something.
"Tissue please."
I quickly grab the tissue from my chest pocket and give it to him.
"Here."
He grabs it from my hand and now he picks up a bottle of water from his bag, it's half full, and now he pours a little amount of water into the tissue and begins to wipe the blood from his thigh, it may still bleeding but it didn't bleed that much anymore. After that, he picks up a square shape gauze that he takes from the cabinet and puts it onto his wound with some pressure, then he picks up another one. Now it's the one that looks like toilet paper, he rolls it out and starts warping around this thigh.
"You pretty good at this. So you know how to do it?"
I asked that to Nung.
"Lol, no. I just read it from the internet."
He what? This guy is unbelievable, and did he just say, "Lol"? He really is weird. Nung keeps treating his wound and he finally finishes it.
"Now, you happy? I treat my wound. I will clean it again after I got home and if you are still worried that I will do it or not then I will send you a picture of it, or maybe a video."
He said that as he looks at me in the eye with that beautiful light pink eye of his. I blush a bit.
"F-fine, but could you please stop staring at me like that."
I said that as I look away.
"Hahaha alright alright, my bad. Also sorry about what I said."
Nung apologizes to me for something, but I don't know what is it.
"What you said?"
I asked.
"Yeah duh, it's that moment that I said, 'what did you think that I just **** her.' in the art room. My mind just became blank after what happen so you can't really blame me for it."
I sigh after I heard what he said.
"Alright, whatever, I don't mind it. It also my fault due to my own curiosity. Well let get out of here quick, I don't want the nurse to come back in here and found us like this, she might get the wrong idea."
Nung nodded. Both of us walk out of the storage room and get out of the infirmary room. Nung and I now walk to the parking lot. We arrive and get our motorbike. Nung got to his bike first then I got to mine. He starts his bike and drives to me.
"Hey six, so where do you live."
I was confused as to why he ask me but I didn't think much about it and answer him.
"Uh... Well, I have to pass the school front gate and go straight until I get to the Intersection then I turn right and then left into the North star alley you can't miss it because it has a big hat statue there, after that, I have to drive past a fried rice restaurant which is really good and tasty by the way you should try it out sometime, maybe with me, I will invite you. Then after I passed that restaurant I have to go straight until I hit the dead end and my house is there on the left with a big white dog."
Nung then looks at me and laughs.
"Ah... Ha ha... HA HA HA HA HA HA."
I look at him with a confused look on my face.
"So you're that girl, that devours my mom fried rice like there will be no tomorrow."
I blush really hard because I didn't expect him to be that restaurant owner's son! my face is like a tomato now because of how he uses his word. If he says this to his friend it just sounds like me eating like a mad dog and it's embarrassing.
"T-t-that was your house?! And that was your mom?!"
I say that but when I think about it now the owner actually did mention that she has a handsome son. And talk to me a lot but I didn't pay any attention to her since the food is so good.
"Yeah, well now I guess we ain't that far from each other. So how about we go home together?"
Wha-what? Nung invite me to go home together? But it's nothing much to expect since both of us live in the same area anyway.
"A-alright fine."
I said that as I blush so hard like a tomato, while Nung looks at me like he was teasing me.
"Well Six, anyway... Uhh... Thank for caring about me even though we're basically a stranger that just got to know each other recently. It's not like no one care about me okay? Tongkam knows about this and becomes a bit protective of me from time to time. While my mom doesn't know about this she still tries her best to make money and make both Tongkam and me happy. I just say this just in case, because there might not be a chance to say this anymore, so thank you again Six."
What he said just now sends a chill down my spine, it just like this is the last time I will see him or something. I don't know how to respond so I get out of my bike and walk to Nung. I grab his shoulder and say.
"Hey, hey don't ever say that again you hear me."
After I said that I hug Nung. Nung also hugs me back.
"Oh, brother Nung I didn't notice that you were quite a lady killer huh?"
Both of us jolt and quickly release each other embrace. I and Nung look around and see Bai and Sushi walk together looks like they were going to the bus stop at the back of the school.
"Hey kid, it's not what you think okay. And please don't tell King about this. That guy will tease me about this."
Nung said. Sushi and Bai just nodded.
"Well, we will go now, bye brother Nung bye sister Six."
Bai said that as she walks away while Sushi wave at us. Nung and I both say goodbye at the same time.
"Bye-bye, and good luck."
Then Nung look at me and said.
"Well, shall we go too then?"
I nodded. I start the engine and drive with Nung to the front gate of the school. Nung drive to where Tongkam waits and then after he picks him up we start to drive back to our home. I can hear Tongkam talking but I don't know what is he talking about, he probably asking him why does it take him so long to get his motorbike. But Nung just shrug and didn't say a word, but I did hear Nung talk about where I live to Tongkam. Both of us hit the first intersection and it's red light so we wait.
The cloud starts to get darker and darker, looks like it going to rain. I was about to ask Tongkam about something but the light change from red to green so I decided to ask him later. Nung finally reaches his home, Tongkam gets down and head inside first. Nung shut off his motorbike and move his arm gesturing me to stop my bike near him.
"Hey, I'll tell you my number. So get your phone out."
Nung give me my number and said.
"I'll send it to you, don't worry."
Now I'm lost, why did he give me his phone number instead of Linking the app that everyone uses to message each other.
"Just so you know it gives you that kind of vibe when you send a message this way, but well I'm fine with Linking too, so just give me your ID when you head back home through the message."
Oh, so he's that type of person. Judge from the way he explains it.
"Alright, well see you later then."
I said that as I went back home. I send Nung a thumb-up meme picture that I save on my phone to him and he replies with a cute anime girl face saying hi.
-"I'll change first okay? After that, I will send you the video, picture, to prove that I do it. Or would you prefer a video call?"
Nung texted me.
-"Well, anything is fine."
I texted back to him.
-"K."
He replied to me. After a while, he sends me a video of him cleaning his wound. Nung takes the gauze out and gets a wet towel soaked with water and some soap and cleans around the area, avoid touching the wound. Watching him cleaning his wound is somehow very calm. After that, he applied himself a new gauze on his wound and throw the old one away which I think is wasted, but I guess it would be better this way.
-"There you go everything is done."
His voice comes from the video, after that the video end. I text to him.
-"Good job! Good boy!"
Nung reply back.
-"Yes thank you, master."
-"Now I will do my stuff now if you don't mind (─‿‿─)."
Oh, he will do his stuff now huh? Ahh, I still want to ask something but... Ah, whatever ever I just ask him right away.
-"Hey, is it fine if I ask you one more stuff before you go?"
Nung then replies.
-"Fine then."
I quickly type and send it to him
-"Could you tell me why did you cut yourself? Like it, just bad thing to do, and most of the people who did it also depressed so you must have a reason for that right?"
Nung reply back to me.
-"Six, don't you think that you already know too much? Maybe it's waaaaay too much. We both just know each other and you have been asking a lot of questions and also breach my privacy too. Maybe you should just stop, for now. To tell you the truth you're making me starting to feel paranoid now because you know way too much for someone that I just met."
-"So just give me some space. And don't tell anyone about this."
Oh shit. Look like I ask too much.
-"Ahh sorry, I really cross the line there I'm sorry. But don't worry I will not tell anyone about this at all you have my promise."
Nung replies to me back with a picture of a guy smiling but it distorted so much that it looks funny. I should think before I say or act more, this is bad. It just looks like Nung just got mad at me... Great work Six. Let just hope that Nung doesn't get mad at me even if he do I hope that he will forgive me.
At Nung house
"Big bro, may I come in?"
Weird... My brother didn't respond. I tried to twist the doorknob. it's not locked... I open the door and called out his name but I don't see him anywhere. Maybe he was inside the toilet in his room? As I think about it Nung walks out of the toilet and looks at me in the eye.
He breathes heavily and fast... The gaze that he gives me is like he wants to strangle me to death... from the look of it, he was keeping his emotion inside for some time now and all of those feeling is probably going to burst out! My big brother realizes that he has been looking at me for a certain amount of time so he looks away.
"Get... Out..."
I'm glad that mom is not home right now or else this could be big trouble. I refuse to get out and walk to Nung and ask.
"No big bro, I want to know what's wrong. So that I can help."
To tell the truth I know where is this going, my big brother, Nung has this weird thing about him. When he feels any emotion more than he can take, he will start to breathe heavily and starting to seek out something violent to do. Either harm himself... or harm others.
This all happen because of his girlfriend's death. All he did is blame himself until one day, he just suddenly changes and becomes like this... it's like there are two of my big brother in one body. And now I know that he is unstable... I want to help him the way I could... Just like always. He always helps and protects me when I was just 5...
So I just want to help him when I can, but help him this way every time isn't a good thing at all... It just like I encourage him to do it more... Plus I could get myself killed... I ask him once to see a therapist but he refuses, and he doesn't want me to tell this to mom too.
"Tongkam... I want to be alone right now, so please."
Nung asks me to get out, but I refuse. I slowly walk closer and closer to him. I look at him in the eye.
"It's okay now, I'm here you can just let it out."
Nung violently grabs me and pulls me to the bed. he breathes heavily more and more. He grabs his pillow and presses it against my face.
It was really hard to breathe, then I feel something heavy hit my face and my chest again and again and again and again. I feel like I'm about to pass out. my face didn't hurt much because the pillow is really thick, but it really hard to breathe but my chest is really hurt. Then he stops... I push the pillow away so that I can breathe. I cough a bit.
I saw Nung cried like a baby in front of me. then he lies down on the bed next to me, crying. I hug Nung and said.
"Don't worry big brother, everything will be okay. You're getting better day by day now."
Nung who cries like a baby now stops crying and falls asleep. He must be tired. Plus every time this happens he tends to have a bit of a headache too.
"TONGKAM, IS EVERYTHING OKAY IN THERE?"
Shit, mom is home. I should lie to her.
"YES MOM, NUNG JUST FALL FROM THE BED."
Then my mom says back to me.
"OKAY, THEN I'LL MAKE DINNER FOR BOTH OF YOU SO WAKE HIM UP IN ABIT KAY?"
I reply.
"YES, MOM."
What a day. All of this happening is probably because of her... Six... I know she means no ill but if she keeps doing whatever she's doing then things might have become worse and worse, but it looks like she already knew something about Nung, let just hope that this is not true. Well, I need to look after my big brother.
No matter what, this time I will take care of you. Like you always do to me.
