chapter 2 part 2

The lean figure pulls his knees to his chest and leans on the glass wall as he always does when waking up from a nightmare. The sound of a show rerun breaks the silence of the luxurious apartment… Khun Diaw loves this place because it is a void of people. At the same time he hates this place because its frighteningly quite and lonely.

He wishes he could return to England. He wishes he could be with Kuea Keerati. Having him as his best friend saved him from the nightmare. Kuea was always bright and active and continuously dragged him along to do whatever he was up to. Their dorm room was always full of music and chatter, but they both had to grow up.

The me he looks at his fancy diamond engagement ring with its fancy shank on his left ring finger the more deeply he sighs. Diaw was eighteen back then His engagements with Phayak was the talk of the town for days. ON the engagement day, he was dressed in all white and dolled up with heavy hair and makeup early in the morning. He was aware before his departure back to Thailand that he would be engaged to Phayak, though he had never actually met his fiancé. 

In the grand ballroom of the five-star hotel in the centre of Bangkok, it was decorated with fresh white flowers and chandeliers. The rows of beautiful white chairs facing the stage were occupied by countless honoured guests. The flashes from the photographers and journalists stung his eyes in ever step he took up to the platform

Among all participants, he knew only his father, stepmother, and step siblings. The man sitting with his legs folded before the exquisite ... was his fiancé with a deadpan face like in the photo his father sent him when he was in England. He was wearing the same type of white attire.

Phayak Chatdecha Chen.

He was different from what Tacha had expected. His fierce eyes and permanently frowning eyebrows made him unapproachable. Khun Diaw had never associated with someone like this before… so Phayak was so scary for him that he couldn't meet his gaze. Tacha dropped his pretty round eyes to his hand or only turned them to the elders and photographers calling him.

The engagement ceremony when Khun Diaw was eighteen was held by professional organizers. He didn't have to say a word and neither did the man next to him. All Khun Diaw heard was his fiancé's curt low voice when he asked for Khun Diaw's hand for the ring, and Khun Diaw quickly picked up the other ring on the tray to put on the strong hand holding out. Phayak's hands were hot and bigger than his 

There was no interview of the young fiancé the media was interested in, given that it was an engagement between to influential families. There were only steps including photo taking, expressing gratitude to the elders' blessings and putting his folded hands on Phayak's chest to show respect.

Khun Diaw tried not to make a single mistake His nervousness turned to surprise when he felt a soft touch on his head as he showed respect to his older fiancé. When he withdrew his body, he saw his fiancé's big hand lowering to his side. Phayak might not be as scary as he seems.

The engagement ceremony was followed by the press conference of Phayak taking on the position of the president of the Chans car dealership and officially opening the new F1 circuit, the largest one in Thailand
