Chapter 95 Stubbornness

Staring at Santichai made KK's heartbeat faster. Seeing the sweat on Santichai's forehead, he almost jumps over the countertop to wipe Santichai's sweat.

Santichai walked up to KK, and asked timidly, "KK, why are you here?" He handed the plate of food to the woman.

KK said, "Asnee said you ran away?"

Santichai said, "I didn't run away... I am waiting for him."

KK reached into his pocket, grabbed his handkerchief, and started wiping the sweats off Santichai's face. He said sadly, "If I'd known that sending you back to Asnee, you'd..."

Santichai smiled and said, "I'm glad you gave me the courage to pursue Asnee."

KK said, "I called you, but you didn't answer."

Santichai said, "I have a new number."

KK asked, "Where do you live?"

Santichai didn't want to give KK his location and number, so he said, "I live nearby."

As for KK, he knew that Santichai would not tell him, and he also understood, so he didn't ask further. "Do you work here?" he asked.

Santichai said, "Mmm..."

"You could have gone back to HappyCare," KK said.

"I promised I would never contact Asnee. HappyCare and you will be Asnee's first stop when he looks for me," Santichai said.

KK asked, "Why did you make such a promise?"

Santichai said, "I don't want to say." He reached out and grabbed KK's hand. "KK, promise me that you won't let anyone know I'm here."

KK said, "If I don't understand why you leave Asnee suddenly, then I won't promise you."

"It's because I don't contact Asnee, if he finds me. Khun Siriporn will accept Asnee and me," Santichai said.

KK said, "Santichai, you have no reason to play this cat and mouse game with Asnee's parents. How can you be sure that Asnee will find you here?"

Santichai smiled in tears and said, "If he loves me like I love him, if he doesn't give up on me like I don't give up on him, he will find me."

The woman came back and handed Santichai a new order slip, "Here." She grabbed the pitcher and started pouring water for other customers.

KK reached out and wiped Santichai's tears. He took out his wallet, took out all the cash in the wallet, and put it in Santichai's hands. "Here, take these," KK said. "Call me if you need anything."

Santichai said, "KK, I can't take these, take them back, I'm not short of money."

KK said, "If you don't accept it, I will tell Asnee that you work here."

Santichai smiled, "You are still as stubborn as ever, since you gave me all the money, I will treat you to dinner."

"Your food is always delicious. I recognized it at the first bite," said KK, watching Santichai pick up his order and leave. "Santichai!"

Santichai turned around, "Hmm..."

KK smiled and said, "Remember... I'm only one phone call away."

Santichai smiled and nodded, "Mmm." He walked back to the kitchen area.

KK returns to the table and starts eating. Danya watched KK eat happily and looked at KK madly.

Danya mocked, "I've never seen you eat so much. What's the occasion?"

KK said, "The food is delicious."

Danya said, "I think it tasted so-so." He suddenly lost his appetite. "So... who is that person?"

KK looked up at Danya, "Who?"

Danya said, "The person you spend about ten minutes talking to."

KK said, "Old friend of mine."

Danya slammed his hand down on the table and said frantically, "That was your ex, wasn't it? My brother's poor friend?"

KK said, "What if he is or he isn't? Khun Dudar, this has nothing to do with you and it's none of your business."

Danya said furiously, "Khun Dudar this, Khun Dudar that, why can't you call me by my name?"

KK said, "We don't know each other well, and don't act like a child in front of me, I don't like it."

Danya said madly, "I'm not a child."

"Right now, you're like a three-year-old," KK said.

Danya asked frantically, "Why do you call him so affectionately and you can't do the same to me?"

KK said, "Look boy, I already told you that we don't know each other well, so I won't call you by your first name or nickname. If you are full and can't bear to sit here and watch me eat, then you go back and guard my car."

Danya stood aside frantically. He said, "Who wants to get back in your car?" Danya walked away from KK slowly.

After Danya leaves, KK sighs but continues to eat the food on the table. He missed the food made by Santichai. He walked back to his car after eating and found Danya leaning against the driver side.

KK approached Danya and said, "If you don't tell me your home address, then I will send you to the Dudar Corporation headquarters."

Danya refused to answer, but walked to the passenger side, opened the door and walked in. KK shook his head. He opens the car door and drives Danya to the Dudar's headquarters.

KK watched as Danya refused to speak or indicated that he would get off. KK said, "I promised Santichai not to disclose his whereabouts, I hope you respect his decision and not tell your brother his whereabouts."

Danya looked at KK and said angrily, "When you took me back for treatment yesterday, I was sweating profusely. If you didn't wipe my face for me, why did you wipe that person's face so gently?"

KK said, "Look kid, we don't know each other well enough so it's inappropriate for me to wipe your face."

Danya quickly grabs KK's shirt, pulls him closer, and kisses KK's lips. Then quickly pushed KK away and said, "From now on, you are not allowed to kiss that person, nor anyone else."

KK chuckled, "Look kid, you are still a child."

Danya yelled, "I'm not a child. Stop calling me a child. I can do everything that person can do for you. Even... even have sex with you."

KK scoffed at Danya's stupidity. He smiled and said, "Go home, kid. You don't like me; you don't want to kiss me or want to have sex with me. You did it out of impulse. I understand, and I don't blame you. You just want to win. You can't accept the fact that I praised Santichai, and your brother also praised Santichai. You are still young; you don't understand why both me and your brother said that Santichai is better than you. Let me tell you, Santichai is a very warm and innocent person. He's the kind of guy who will never leave you when you need help. He doesn't befriend you because he wants the good you have. He's strong-willed, mature, loyal, tolerant, principled; these are qualities you don't have. That's why I get mad at you when you call Santichai's name. Honestly, kid, you really need to work on getting over your stubbornness. If you can't understand these qualities you lack, no one will want to be your friends. The only friends you're going to have are those that are your eating buddy."

Danya sat there listening to KK insulting him. Sitting here, he still doesn't understand why KK is yelling at him. What he hates the most are those who ignore his kindness. He knew that KK was sad, so he just wanted to make KK happy, but in the end, KK hated him, despised him, and called him a child. He sat there, fighting back his tears. After a while, he couldn't hear KK speak anymore. He asked, "Are you finished?"

KK looked at Danya and saw a tear running down Danya's cheek. He sighed and reached out to wipe Danya's tear, but Danya hit KK's hand away. "Look kid..."

Danya said, "Don't touch it. Thanks for sending me." He pushed open the door and walked towards the Dudar's headquarters. "Who the fuck wants to hang out with such a stupid old dog." He whispered when he walked to the main entrance.

Danya took the elevator up to the seventh floor and walked into Decha's office. Walking in, he saw Decha was still staring at his computer.

Decha mocked, "Huh... is the sun going to rise from the west?"

Danya said irritably, "Shut up."

Decha asked, "Why are you here?"

Danya said, "I need to borrow one of your cars."

Decha asked, "Where's your car?"

"It's still parked in the Condor's parking lot," Danya said.

Decha stood up, grabbed one of his keys and threw it at Danya. He asked, "Then how did you get here?

Danya said, "Airplane." He stood up and started to walk away.

Decha sat back in his office chair and said, "Don't crush my baby."

Danya turned around and said, "Oh, I saw your poor friend." Then he suddenly remembered that KK asked him not to reveal the location of Santichai.

Decha quickly got up from his chair and rushed to the door. "You mean Santichai?" He asked.

Danya said, "Who is Santichai? I said I saw a friend of yours."

Decha said, "I am not deaf, I hear you very clearly. The only person you have always considered my poor friend is Santichai. Tell me where he is."

Danya smirked, "I can't. I can't tell anyone." He closed the door and took the elevator down to the first floor. Inside the elevator, his phone vibrated. He took out his phone and looked at the message that popped up. The message was from KK: Sorry. I'm at fault. How about I treat you to ice cream? He smiled shyly. "Ai kea, I'm going to strike you so fast and hard, and you will die at my feet."
