Chapter Text
"Oh Phop? Why? What did he want?" Vanna asked me. Vanna has been a friend of mine since little, we practically grew up together.
"He said I looked like someone he knew." I answered my friend.
"Oh? Did you ask him his name?"
"As if I don't already know." I sigh and got back to my seat. "But you know what's crazy? He said his friend's name was also Phop.."
"Hmm? Could you have been appearing in his dreams too?"
"Impossible."
"Babe, Klao showed up in your dream. The exact same face and he seems to be real. So why are you saying that it's impossible when it practically happened to you."
"I don't know it's just so weird. And don't forget, you were there too,Varna. And weirdly, so are his friends." I say out of frustration as I stared at Klao, was he really Klao? Why did he show up in my dreams? Who was he?
"Ai Khun, leave my Pun and me alone!!" The one named Jom from my dreams said.
So his name isn't even Klao, huh? It was Khun.
"Phop? What? Why were you zoning out?" Vanna asked.
"His name isn't even Klao.!" I said, too loudly to Vanna. Enough for them to hear.
-Khun
"--Klao!" I gasped and turned as I heard that name. P'Phop said it. Does- does he remember me? Or Klao, the one he knew? I swallowed and stared at P'Phop. Does he truly know me? Remember me?
'I can't handle this anymore' I mumbled and shot up from my seat making my friend's confused.
"I need air." I told them and went straight for the door. I gasped for air as I got out. What is happening? I- Khun stop it. Stop it. Get a grip. You're Khun, you're with Pun and Thi. Get a grip.(Tangsati tangsati 555)
"Are you okay?" A voice I know so perfectly asked suddenly.
"Hmm?" I looked up, P'Phop. "Ah yes, it was just, I needed air. Thank you."
"Oh, okay. I'm Phop. Tinnaphop. Nice to meet you, hope I didn't startle you earlier."
"It's fine, I'm Khun. Nakhun. Nice to meet you too."
"Yeah, may I perhaps, know more about your friend that you knew? Phop?"
"If your girlfriend won't care, she's looking at us." I said as I look at their seats and saw Lady Varna staring.
"That's just Vanna, not my girlfriend. Just a close friend."
"Oh."
"Why? Why did you think we were together?"
"I mean, everyone would if they saw a man and a woman together."
"Are you sure? Klao?"
"Huh?"
"Are you Klao?"
"I- what?" I said, does he remember?
"Sorry, no it's fine. My mind got lost for a minute. Are you okay now, Khun?"
"Yeah, yeah I'm fine. Phi-Nong? Phop."
"Phi, I think."
"Yeah, P'Phop." The name came out of my mouth so normally. But I couldn't function properly. P'Phop just called me Klao. Could he possibly know?
Khun tried to go back in but almost slammed into the glass because his mind was somewhere else—Ayutthaya, maybe.
"Be careful," Phop screamed out of rush and stopped Khun from slamming his head only a little slightly, "are you okay? You're not hurt aren't you?" Phop asked worried as he got close to Khun and cups his head looking for possible scratches.
Oa much?
"I'm f-fine." Khus answers while stuttering, confused as why modern Phop was worried for him when it their first time meeting.
"Oh, I'm sorry.." Phop says as he regains consciousness and let's Khun go.
"Yeah. P'Phop.. Do you know me?" Khun asks finally, hoping his questions would be answered.
"Uhmm-"
"Klao. Khun. Me?" As the first namecame out of Khun's mouth the slight flicker in Phop's face was noticeable. And that answered all of Khun's questions.
