chapitre 1 : problem

I opened my eyes with difficulty. I swear, my headache was the worst I've ever felt before. I subconsciously gritted my teeth to soothe the pain. The first image I saw was a white ceiling that was also blurry.

<<< Emm... >>

Why do I feel like my entire body is bruised and in pain?

<<< North >>

Hah?

I turned my head towards the voice that called.

<< Ter? >> I called out to the owner of that name. Even though I woke up in a floating state, I was still the first person to see Ai Ter's face.

<< Aw... >>

<<< Why are you so aggressive? Look at your body. You better not wake up yet. >>>>

<< I won't get up, I'll move. Oh my god, my whole body hurts. >> Even the wound in the corner of my mouth still hurts, but I can still complain.

<< Oh oh, I see your condition and I don't want to scold you. But please, I don't know where to start cursing. >> Ter twitched his eyebrows and turned a tense face toward me.

<< You can argue with me, thank you for coming for my body. >> I don't think I remember much. I only remember that I was very drunk and got into a fight with Doctor Temp. And then the black hole.

<< I wasn't the one who brought you back. Open your eyes and look. >> Ai Ter said

I raised my eyebrows in surprise at those words before returning his gaze and looking around.

This isn't our room...

"Are you confused?! How can I come get you if you don't call me?!" Ter chimed in, grabbing a wet towel and throwing it at my face. "Damn it!!!"

"What the hell is wrong with you??

"Do I really have to tell you?

I feel like I might have to give you an extra smack across the face." He then used his thumb to press down hard on the cut at the corner of my mouth. Ow, he pressed down hard.

"Ow! How can you do that? I'm in pain!" I yelled before looking away to see Phi Hill sitting on the couch next to me

He wasn't wearing as depressed a face as usual.

"Hi, Phi Hill," I greeted. Phi Hill smiled slightly. Wow, that's so cool.

"So stop Phi Hill's luck?"

I asked, envious that this might be his room. A very luxurious room, totally different from our dorm.

"No, this isn't his room, it's the room of someone who braved the storm to pick you up yesterday," Ai Ter said, sighing slightly, picking up the small towel and placing it back in the basin.

These words surprised me even more.

The one who dares to brave the storm to come and pick me up...?

<<< What's driving you crazy? When I saw your face, I spat out more, I see your injuries, the more you feel annoyed. The drunk man never said anything, yet you're looking for trouble with him, Ai North! I'm worried about you, you know that, asshole. It was 11 p.m. when Kyu called to warn me that you were completely drunk and causing trouble over there. I went to look for you, but it was too late, even your friends were beaten up. What if he doesn't come to help you? How can I not worry about you? >>>

<<< Ter...

<< Don't talk! >>>

I didn't want to do anything when I was suddenly scolded by that man. What's more, he made a face like he was about to cry. I know Ter is a person who cares about others.

He was very worried seeing that, I remember less that he was busy, he never left me alone in the room because he knew I couldn't stay there.

<<

<> I continued.

<>>

<<> I thought, before dosing myself to fall asleep more comfortably. The bed is very soft.

<

“Haaaaa, I wasn't there then, did you sleep with your boyfriend?” I accidentally teased, immediately making him annoyed.

“Is this the time?”

“Sorry, please continue.”

“Kyu called me and told me to come get you. He said you were unconscious because of a fight, and you were the one who initiated the first blow. Your other two friends were also drunk and got dragged into the fight as well. Kyu can handle it himself, but he can't bring you back.”

“Oh, so how did I get back?”

"Phi Hill said he'd take care of it," Ai Ter said, turning his head toward Phi Hill. He didn't say anything. "When morning came, I asked Phi Hill to take me to you."

"Hello? Is it morning already?"

"It's already 4 p.m. Are you asleep or disguising yourself as a corpse? I had a serious doubt!"

"So, Phi Hill came for me?" I frowned and asked again. Ter's story isn't clear, and I still haven't fully recovered my wits.

"No, but Phi Hill's friend."

<< Huuuuuuh? >>> I let out a raised eyebrow, very surprised. So why is it Phi Hill's friend? At first, I already thought it was my roommate's boyfriend +come get me, it was weird

<< Phi Johan, do you still remember?

>>> said Ter, his expression as surprised as mine.

<< I remember, but why did he come looking for me, especially in my damn state!!! Please don't tell me I threw up on him. >> Suddenly I remembered what happened last night. I remember myself if I think about it.

<< There's nothing left >>>

<<< Brrrrrrrrrrr.... >> I raised my hand to wipe my face.

<<< You don't remember anything? >>>>

<<< If some start coming back.

"....

<<< But anyway, I already threw up on him. So it's too late to change the story. >>>

<<< Hey! >> He reached out to press more on my wound, but I stopped him.

<< OK, I'm just kidding >> and I said, "So what should I do? It's complicated, he had to bring me back, plus I hope I didn't cause him too much trouble."

<< Uh, he's really angry, " Ai Ter said, which made me even more annoyed.

<< So why did Phi Joe come looking for me? " I asked. But Ter probably didn't know. And it was Phi Hill who answered me.

<< His condominium is close to where you were. "

<< Hah? This is Phi Joe's place, isn't it? " Ai asked backwards.

There, we're at Phi Joe's?

<< Maybe your condition was too seriousSo maybe he had to take you back to his place. >> said Phi Hill.

<>>

Okay... luckily he took me back to his place. If he had to take me back to the apartment and wipe me down alone, that wasn't a good thing.

Before I could ask for more details, Hill's phone rang.

He asked permission to answer and leave the room. So we were alone, Ter and I, in this space I didn't know at all.

<> I said, because my head was full of questions at the moment. In addition to various doubts and fumes night out. He came to pick me up because it was close to his condominium, that's understandable, but if it were me, I wouldn't be willing to pick up a strange person who was drunk and causing trouble.

<<<

At first, when Phi Hill said he'd take care of it for me, I didn't think he'd call Phi Joe and tell him to come pick you up. Also, what made me more confused than before was that Phi Jo agreed.

Did you know there was a really bad storm last night? >>>

<<< Um...but how did last night end? >>>>

<< Well, I don't know about that, you should ask Kyu.

<< My phone? >>> I asked, searching, I hope it's not there

<< this >>>, he turned around and took it

It for me?

It's still there, but the condition isn't good at all...

<<< Why... >> I saw my phone's screen that was broken and all destroyed. It's a problem, my heart immediately broke. I don't have money to buy a new one. Let alone for repair costs. << What do I do? >>>

<< It wasn't broken like that at first >>

<<< HuuH >>>>

<< Until Phi Johan threw it against the wall. >>>

<< Hah?! >> I was surprised for a moment by Ai Ter's response. <<<< Phi Johan add my phone?! >>>>

<<< Yes, he said he threw it away because he was annoyed, because someone called while he was busy taking care of you throwing up >>>

<<< Shit, if he's really mad at me, I'll accept it. But why is he venting on my phone? I don't have money to fix it. Look, it's ruined, I can't even turn it on.

<< When Phi Hill found out, he didn't mind. At first, I imagined he was mad at your phone. >>>

<< Doesn't he mind? >> I asked.

<<< Oh... >>>

<< What's wrong? North... >>>

<< You think this is funny, I'm not Phi Hill. He doesn't have to beg like me to get a new phone. >>>

I sighed and put away my dead phone. Really, I was angry because he threw it away like that. How bad are the things I've done that it makes him angry? Can't we talk about it first?

But is it possible at this time? Hahaha

"By the way, where is Phi Johan? Why didn't I see him?" I asked.

"He's working this afternoon; he asked me to take care of you."

"Take care of me?" I repeated those words.

"He's afraid you'll go crazy."

"What?" My question made him fall silent for a moment, as if he had just remembered something. He left the room and shortly afterward, he came back with

<>>

I picked up the piece of paper and started reading. There was a very long list of items I had to replace.

I read it completely and I still don't understand. Just as I was about to ask him, the owner of the room arrived.

Phi Johan opened the door to the room and entered without saying a word.

Then he sat down on the sofa, which was occupied by Phi Hill.

Soon, Phi Hill came back and sat down next to it.

Phi Johan turned and looked at me. There was no emotion in his eyes. Although at first he seemed emotional to me

It's not good though, I don't really know. The last time I met Phi Johan was when he came to get Ai Ter.

And then the whole room went quiet...

It seems like there are only two people here, me and Phi Joe. Since I was still sitting on the bed, I felt uncomfortable because I was the cause of these problems.

I turned my head to look at Ai Ter with a questioning look.

Why didn't he say something like "Oh, you're awake!" or "How are you?" or lecture me about what happened last year?

Why is the atmosphere so quiet, or should I be the first to speak?

<< Um... okay, I'm sorry. >>>>

I said softly.

<<<...? >>>Phi Johan turned to me. It seemed like he was waiting for what I was going to say next.

<< Sorry about yesterday and thank you. >>

<<< UH... "

Why does he suddenly look annoyed?

<< I'm really sorry, I didn't mean... uh... >>>

<<<< Smit? >> Phi Johan said, raising his eyebrows slightly.

<< Yes, >> I lowered my head, feeling guilty.

<< Uh, no problem, just pay. >>>

<< Pay? >>

"Have you seen the damage?" Phi Johan said, pointing at the paper in my hand. I looked at it, then turned around to look at it again, as a clearer explanation was needed.

"This is the list of items you broke, and you have to pay for everything," replied Ter.

"Are you crazy?! The number is several hundred thousand. What did I destroy like that?" I unintentionally said, shouting at him.

Usually, I wouldn't be this bad. But, the numbers written on the paper are way too many!

"No, I already helped the butler check the damage this morning. You really destroyed everything." Ai Ter said seriously, while the A feeling of shame was beginning to overwhelm me and make me blush at the same time.

"And what is this alcohol list?

I don't remember ordering anything like that."

"You didn't order.

But you smashed it on the table. Everything you took is destroyed, you can't help it. It's an expensive drink, and you hit it over someone's head until it's broken and scattered."

"NAH?! How did you get it?"

"It's someone else's table."

"And that's when you took it," said Phi Johan. "That's all. I understand now. Is it really so bad?"

"So you paid for it?"

<< Yes, including the money to silence the employees and customers in the bar. If the university finds out, you will be suspended and expelled. >>>

<< What about the treatment? >>

<< He charges a high fee for the treatment, do you know how much it costs? >> said Phi Johan, his voice was tired and sounded like he didn't know how to scold.

<< How about this outfit? Why is it so expensive? It's up to tens of thousands? >>>

<< That's Joe's shirt you threw up on! >>>

<< Crazy, just one shirt costs 10,000 baht? >> I said quietly so Phi Johan wouldn't hear. But why do you have to pay for this? They're just clothes; I can wash them for you

<<< When you fought, you also damaged some merchandise in the bar. I combined all the amounts into one, said Ai Ter, while pointing at the last line, the word "others," which is also very painful.

<< So why do I have to pay for everything myself? They hit me too, didn't they?

<< They pay! >> said Phi Johan.

Shit... You have a rich man...!!!

<<< EA? Wine bottles, dishes, and others. >>>

<< You ruined a lot of things in Phi Joe's house.

Vomiting on the floor, breaking expensive vases and all sorts of things, the maid picked everything up and checked. She said that during the night you got up and looked for the bathroom, while walking around the house, you destroyed some

Things along the way. >>>

There was nothing to say because it really rendered me speechless.

I took a deep breath to regain my composure. I hope this is just a dream. Unfortunately, it seems very realistic... It all happened very quickly. I didn't get ready in time, I just went out for a drink and became the drunkest person I've ever known in my life. And... There's a small problem... EH... I mean, there's a big problem that's causing me to wake up with hundreds of thousands of Bats to pay in.

That said, from the start, I knew I shouldn't complain too much.

Damn me!

When I glanced at the numbers on the paper again, I had to look away as if I didn't dare face reality

There are a lot of numbers on this document. I get goosebumps thinking about having to get the money for the country. Oh, my life.

"Uh... and my phone is broken," I said. If I can reduce the debt by 1,000 or 2,000, that's something.

Of suspension, but 1,000 or 2,000 hardly change the astronomical number on the paper.

Phi Johan heard me say this before throwing me a bag he was carrying. I didn't get it in time before looking at the contents of the bag that had fallen onto my lap in confusion.

"It's not included in the debt," Phi Johan said. When I opened the bag to look inside, it turned out to be a new phone.

It was still wrapped in its plastic.

He bought it because he said it was just a cell phone, right?

Why am I starting to feel a little annoyed now?

"You could just pay for the repair," I said. Even though it broke, I couldn't imagine him buying me a new one; the cost of repairing the old phone would be much cheaper.

"No..." he said in an annoyed tone?

"Oh."

"It's just a cell phone, take it." Phi Hill said, probably because he saw my annoyed face at his words, which made us turn our heads and look at each other as they used the word "just."

You can't justUsing words like that for a phone worth tens of thousands of Bats...

I was silent for a moment, organizing my thoughts. I have to tell Phi Joe directly that I don't really have a lot of money.

Who does? So much money? I'm just a student, right... Even though I work, I don't earn a huge amount. I might not be able to ask for my debt to be canceled or reduced a little because all this happened and because Phi Johan already paid it off.

<<... Can I pay in installments?>>

<<...>>

<>

<>>

<<< Hah...? How much? >>>

Phi Johan, silently pretending to think, "20%?

"I can't!" I shouted before he finished speaking. And what's wrong with him? 20%? Is he a loan shark?

Isn't it too cruel to lend money outside the system?

Phi Johan smiled slightly, looking satisfied to see me so angry. At a time like this, does he still want to play with me?!

"Can I think about it first?"

"Do it!" he said as he walked.

"Are you going?" Hill asked after the person sitting next to him got up from the sofa.

"Yes," Phi Johan replied, before leaving the room.

What's wrong with him? Why did he suddenly leave...?

He's busy with work, do you want to come home? Asked Phi Hill.

Yes! I nodded so quickly that the man couldn't help but laugh.

Okay, let's hurry.

Let's leave quickly. My debt is already bigger. What am I going to do?

...

Ah, ah, ah, ah, sorry, but can you laugh? Don't act so sad.

Would you like to wake up and owe yourself a hundred thousand Bats, like me? Like me? I stuck my tongue out at him in annoyance, before getting up, feeling like I'm carrying the world on my shoulders? The alcohol is still making itself felt in my body, but it's still not as much as the pain I feel on my body.

"Can you still stand?"

At first, I thought it would be heavier than that," Ai Ter said, looking me over from head to toe. "Guess from the feeling, I must have injuries on my lips and eyebrows, as well as bruises on other parts.

"Calm down, my friend." I said, then raised my eyebrows at the person in front of me. "Who is this guy?" I asked after controlling myself without asking where my old clothes were. I asked who the owner of the shirt was, so that later I could return it to him after washing it.

And by the way, who changed my clothes...

Ter said there was a maid who came to wipe my body. That means the aunt is the one who will definitely change the clothes for me... Shit, I feel embarrassed thinking about it.

So it's better not to think about it.

Maybe they belong to Phi Joe. You can ask him later.

Or, maybe they belong to the butler's uncle; he let them wear some clothes for me.

You're good at being sarcastic!

Give me a little and I won't be able to do anything! I said, and the three of us left the room.

House is a bad term. It could more easily be called a mansion or a castle. I knew Joe was rich, but I didn't know he was that rich. A rhymer doesn't

Doesn't mean it's reality, but I looked around and had to focus on the hallway. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll get lost and do something stupid again.

On the way, we met the butler and the housekeeper. Everyone turned to me with wide eyes. I was so embarrassed that I had to hide behind Ter. In my mind, I can only say words...

<<< Sorry for causing you trouble. >>>>

Phi Hill's luxury car slowly drove away.

Immediately, we returned to the dormitory. I let the lovers say goodbye for a while, then Ai Ter and I went back to the room.

<< Oh, add Phi Joe's Line too, ”said Ai Ter, after lying down on the bed, tired. Shit, I feel really tired, both physically and mentally.

<<< Huh?>>

<<< He's a debtor, don't worry too much. >>>

<< What's this? >> I took a little, I got a new phone that made me confused. I've never used the chair like this, I can't do anything right.

<<< You're not stressed at all. I thought you were crying and would deny it, >> Ai Ter said.

<< I didn't want to believe it either. But when we went downstairs and I saw the situation in the living room, I thought Godzilla had attacked him. >>

<< Is that a lot? >>

<< Yes. Mutually, when you were, you act like that. >>>

But not that much. My head is as hot as it's ever been before. >>>

<< When you play games, you get heated up. >>>>

<< It's different, " I sighed. Seriously, my city is bigger. Actually, he just lent me some money, looks like I borrowed money from my brother...

But this is too much. >>>

<< What are you going to do? Money isn't fun. >>>

<< If your boyfriend's friend is nice and doesn't charge interest, I'll pay him 1000 a week. >>>

Really?

<< Hey, I'm telling the truth. The place I work here is good. >>>>

<< One ticket a week, and your head will be paid off when You'll get your degree." Ai Ter slightly shook his head at the thought of this. "But as for the interest, if you pay a little, it's no big deal, it's a lot of money. You also have to understand. He works alone.

Hundreds of thousands of Bats have come out of the account and nothing has been returned. For a businessman, this is a missed opportunity.

"Did Phi Hill say something like that?" I asked without hesitation. If the man said something that seemed principled, it must be Hill who taught it.

"Yes, explanations, longer. But I remember something like that. Otherwise I'll scream and get punished for taking the interest from you."

"I understand. And, should I take this phone and resell it? At least, there are tens of thousands worth. Including this one."

Shirt, it feels expensive.

North, you're so bad. Just use that phone. Phi Joe bought it. Wash the clothes and put them away too, Ai Ter said.

Yes, I know. I'm just kidding. How could I sell the phone he gave me and give him the money? But why does Phi Hill have to ask Phi Joe to come get it? This problem hasn't been solved! I asked a question that was still bothering me.

I said, I don't know. But let me guess. Maybe because Phi Joe can take care?

I could only respond with a confused face after hearing him talk about taking care of me.

That's just my guess. I don't know everything. I'd better ask Kyu. But if I can guess, it must be Phi Joe who is went to settle the argument. Do you know there are Nico fees and silence fees? He takes care of everything. >>>

"..."

"Don't tell me. But it's true, there was never a problem when I was at university. It can be more difficult to be polite."

Do you regret it now?" Ai Ter asked, a little mockingly, or was it just my imagination?

"Very. I won't drink alcohol again." I said, removing my hand to gently rub her head.

"Okay, I'll call Nao and the others. They must be worried," Ai Ter said, which made me realize I should also ask them how they were doing. Once I managed to successfully open Line and log in with my old ID, there were numerous notifications of new messages that had arrived

But the important thing is...

[Ja Jan]-(new, notification: 120 messages)

When I press read, the Chat becomes more and more important. Is this a message from that person that keeps appearing before Phi Johan throws my phone against the wall, like Easter told me?

Phi Joe, why did the warning about the arrival of these messages make you so angry that you threw my phone away to the point of having to buy a new one? So, you're right to do that? And what is Ja Jan trying to say? We broke up, but why are there hundreds of messages on Line?
