Part 2 Lukewarm welcome

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.
