Phana's POV...
I was in total panic after Pring pulled me inside the changing room.
And it happened right before Nong'Yo's eyes for crying out loud!
d.a.m.n!
Now, I'm not sure if he saw what happened but if he did, we're sure gonna have a long talk later.

”Hey! Pring... Why are you doing this?” I'm a bit mad at her as I try to yank her hand off me so I can leave the room.
”I have something to talk to you about.”
”Is it anything urgent? I'm in a hurry, you know...” I'm not letting Forth get closer to Nong'Yo anymore.
”Have you ever had feelings for me at all?”
What the f.u.c.k!!! ?
h.e.l.l... I'm quite stunned hearing that question from her. This is something very serious indeed that I have to clear up things with her right away.
”What?”
”I want to hear it from you.”
Why the heck does she suddenly wants to know about how I feel for her right now? This isn't the right time for this thing at all!
”Pring... You're my friend...”
That's all I can say for now.
”What about those things you have done to me? Those kindness you have shown me?”
”I'm sorry to make you misunderstand... But if you come to think about it, I've been treating you no different from those other female friends of mine.” I am so ready to lose a friend right now. This mess has to stop. ”If those things I did for you made me think I have feelings for you, then... I'm sorry.”
”I don't need your apology... How about my feelings?” She starts yelling at me. This conversation is getting way dramatic as of the moment. If she raises her voice even more, people outside will definitely hear us. ”Can't it be me? Can't you make yourself love me at all? Or are you being in love with someone else then?”
I was about to tell her first, but it was her who brought it up.
”Please don't tell me you're in love with that silly little brat next door.”
Pring was shocked to see me nod. I didn't even refuse her allegations.
”But he's a boy!”
”It's not important.”
”It is important. It's wrong... You have never been like this before. You've never been into guys.”
”I never liked guys. I only like Nong'Yo.”
”Pha!”
”Excuse me, Pring.”
”Pha!!!”
I don't give a d.a.m.n worrying about her anymore. I don't know what will happen to our friends.h.i.+p from now on, but it better end this way because I'll never be able to get myself love her more than just a friend, whether Yo is involved with my feelings or not.
That's the truth.

”f.u.c.k!” I yelled at my two best friends after they left me alone with Pring. ”You guys totally ditched me, you a.s.sholes!”
”Well, she said she wants to clear up on something with you. That's why we gave you guys a bit of private time to talk.” Kit pa.s.ses on the drinking water he was holding to cool myself down.
”Where's Yo?”
”He must be ready by now, but it'll be a while before his turn.”
”Wanna go with me?” I asked Kit.
”Why do I have to go with you?”
”Perhaps you want to see Ai'Ming...”
”Shut the f.u.c.k up, Pha... You piece of s.h.i.+t.”

I shrug as I left my friends to visit the people at the backstage. Most are taking selfies while the others are waiting for their queue. There are a few running here and there getting themselves ready for their performance.
Everything is chaotic, just like last year.
I stumbled on a few people before I came across this group of staff from the Science Faculty. One of the Fairy Angels was even jumping up and down the moment he/she sees me.
”Aaaaw... So handsome.” He clutches his chest. ”Can I help you with something, kha? Doc Phana.”
”There are lots of choices to choose from... Pick any. We have all sizes from the biggest to the smallest ones.” The staff who's working on Nate's make up throws his sweet smile.
”Have you seen Nong'Yo?”
I think I had just burst their dream bubbles out. ”Sigh... Too bad he doesn't prefer any of us.” They look fine though, they're not really mad at me or anything. ”I saw him walking to get his music scores at the parking lot. And... There's this Moon from engineering who went to accompany him.”
What?!
”Which parking lot is it, khrub?”
”Over th...” He hasn't finished talking yet but I decide to head for the place he mentioned right away. I'm starting to sweat like a pig after running around looking for Yo.
Lucky that the parking lot has a lot of free s.p.a.ce so I can just walk around comfortably, but the problem is with the dust all over since it's located on a ground area. There are way so many vehicles parked around since there are a lot of guests coming even from other universities as well.
But which one is it?

There! Forth's height becomes quite handy this time. I can see him standing beside one of those cars where Yo must probably be busy getting his things. I was right the moment I walked towards the car as I saw him getting something from the compartment while Forth is looking right at me.
No need to greet each other.
”Coming here for Nong?” He whispers. Yo didn't seem to hear us because he's quite busy at the backseat.
”Uhmm.”
”I saw you went into that room with Pring.”
”So?”
”Which of both do you want exactly?”
Well, on normally occasions, we talk comfortably accompanied most of the time with a good laugh, but when I comes to Nong'Yo, it'll only take the smallest matter to start a b.l.o.o.d.y fight between the both of us.
”I came looking for him all over the place no less than ten minutes after that. Isn't it enough for an answer than you think?”
Forth trailed his eyes at me from head to toe. Of course, I'm such a mess right now. I no longer look as neat and handsome as I was on stage. Then he looks between me and the boy behind the car before saying those words in a serious tone. ”If you hurt him, I won't guarantee your safety.” And walks away.

I heave a deep sigh. It's just the same time Yo takes his music scores along with the garment bag out of the car which probably contains his dress for tonight's performance.

”P'Pha...” He almost drops the garment bag he was holding while trying to hide those music scores away from me. Good thing I was right on time to grab it for him before it even hits the dusty ground.
”I'm not a ghost, you know.”
”How did you get here? And where's P'Forth?”
”Gone.” I'm a bit mad. ”You wanna go after him?”
f.u.c.k!!! He seems like he's really doing what I am suggesting him to do. I rearranged his dress quietly then followed behind him. If Forth saw me being dragged by Pring into that room, how much more Yo?
”Are you mad at me?”
”No... Can you just leave? I need to concentrate.”
”You'll be up in no less than thirty minutes so we still have time.” There are only a few shows left to perform.
”It doesn't matter... Just go.” He pushes me a little.
”Hey... I know you're mad.”
Yo just walks away without uttering any single word. I have to do a bit of a run to catch up his pace.
”We need to talk. You can't go up on stage like this.”
He halts. I can see his mixed emotions right through his eyes. He's confused, mad, stressful and worried all at the same time.
”Don't you trust me anymore?” I was trying to make him feel better. ”I couldn't resist Pring from dragging me into that room. Haven't you seen my face? I was surprised about what she did too.”
”It's...” Finally he speaks, although it comes from the conflicting mind inside him. ”I don't know... But when I saw you two getting into that private room... Both of you seemed... perfect for each other.”
”It's you and I who's perfect. One is getting mad while the other tries to make it up for him.”
It probably worked, I guess. Yo seems to get uncertain about his moody feelings by now.
”Yo... You have won my heart for so many years. Why are you still worried?”
”I...”
”You don't have to speak anymore.”
”Ai...”
