[ku i'm dropping out lol]
Kukrit let go of his phone in shock, fumbling with it and catching it before it hit the floor. His ring clicked against his phone as he clattered his nails noisily against the cracked screen. The classmates next to him looked over curiously and Kukrit smiled apologetically as he sent the message.
[Call me rn, Nic.]
He only had to wait a few moments before the opening notes of สบาย สบาย started playing. Mouthing the word 'sorry' to his lecturer, Kukrit pointed to his phone and stepped out of the class.
As he left the room and closed the door soundlessly behind him, Kukrit sighed and clicked 'accept'.
Nicolò's voice filtered through the speaker "Hey-"
"เชี่ยไรเนี่ย, Nicolò, คุณหมายถึงอะไร 'I'm dropping out'?"
"English, love," Nicolò laughed, though the tears in his voice turned it into a sob.
"Nicolò," he murmured, anger suddenly waning at the audible distress in his partner's tone. "Mi dispiace, amore. I'll come home immediately."
"No," Nicolò disputed half-heartedly "you have a class right now. Sono stato stupido a dirtelo."
"I don't care. I'll tell Ms. Chen that you've fallen ill."
"You hate lying."
"I hate you being upset a lot more."
Kukrit heard Nicolò sigh in defeat "Fine, come home. But I get to pick the movie."
"Of course, ที่รัก. I'll pick up some ice cream on the way home. Gelato al amarena, yeah?"
"Sì, grazie."
"Nessun problema. Ti amo."
