Chapter 6

JAMES

I leave with Nunew from Tutor's apartment. I decided to walk him first in the area where someone will pick him up. We talk about things at first and also about our work and his available time and also mine.

"The cake taste so good. I love it!" Nunew said smiling like a child.

"You can tell me next time and I'll give you another one. Just tell me what flavor you want to taste too. I'll make it for you."

"You make it?"

"Yeah, I'm one of the baker in cafe. So I can make extra if I want. It's the best seller."

"The cake is as sweet as Nat's bought cake last time. I think it's from the cafe you are working for. He said it is just near this area. Actually it is his dad and his favorite cafe cause of cakes and coffee. Maybe you know him."

"Maybe, our cafe is the only cafe near the area that serves cakes. So maybe it is from us. I'll be glad to meet Nat soon."

We smile and then I continue to talk.

"Anyway, do you know anywhere to do our work?"

"I think it's fine if we could do the work at our company. My boss won't mind it since it is school stuff related."

Nunew said and I just nod since we don't have a choice. And I also understand cause it is for his security since he is an artist.

"Sure but, do you think it's best way to let Yom and Tutor be partners? I mean they really don't let a second when they are together not arguing."

"I know Yim well. If someone show kindness to him he will return it. It's like what you did to him, you will get it from him. So I kinda understand him why he act like that towards Tutor but I see Tutor is kind so maybe they can work it out themselves."

Nunew said and I agree with him. Tutor is really nice, I mean I wouldn't have been his friend since childhood if he is not nice right?

As we walk towards the entrance of university a black Mercedes Benz is being parked and the door at the driver's seat opened and a tall guy came out. He is indeed got a superstar look even in personal or photos from internet.

He first look at Nunew as Nunew gave him a sweet and cute smile that the guy smiling at him too. I feel there's something in his smile, i don't know. It's like a fake smile or a pretending smile, I'm not sure. It immediately fade when his eyes drop on me and furrowed his eyebrow towards me.

"Don't mind him, he just don't like seeing me with other people specially good looking men."

Nunew said and I just chuckle and shake my head when he said I'm good looking.

As we approach by the guy, he immediately hug Nunew as he kissed the little guy's soft cheek that made Nunew smile shyly then take Nunew's bag as he gave me a glare. Scary but not so scary look.

"Ahm- I'll go now New. Be home safe."

I said and Nunew look at me with his soft smile as Mr. Zee Pruk place his right hand around Nunew's waist like someone will steal the little guy.

"Okay. Keep safe James. Thank you for walking with me and I'll message you later about my schedule. I wanna know yours too. So we can meet."

I nod at him and wave goodbye as I start walking away. I'm not that far and I heard the older guy asking New.

"Why do he need to know your schedule so as he? And why do you too need to meet? I thought he is just your classmate?"

"Hia~ stop being like that. We are group mates and he is my partner so we need to do our work together."

Nunew said in his soft voice, and the other guy's reply made my eyebrows furrowed.

"Make sure of it, I don't want to deal with any scandal that will ruin my image."

After that they enter the car and drove away. As I start to call a cab so I can go home.

If they are not idols, I can say Zee is just jealous being so possessive of Nunew cause of seeing the little guy with other men or women but the last phrase he just said will make someone's assumption wrong. Like he only care about himself and not to his partner.

Anyway, seeing Nunew happy talking and being clingy to Zee is not my problem. I mean maybe Zee is just strict about their image and knowing them as the phenomenal couple of this country, who will think they are not real, right?

As I reached home and done washing myself, I'm about to go to bed when my phone beep. And I feel the rage already by just seeing the sender's name.

*New message from Stupid Devil Boss

"If you don't have class tomorrow, come to my office. I need to talk to you about work."

"But I don't have duty tomorrow? Wtf! He is so annoying"

I said to myself as I reply to the message "Okay boss" and turn off my phone and go to sleep. I need to encounter a monster tomorrow so I need to recharge.

NUNEW

As we enter the car Hia immediately talk again about seeing me with James earlier.

"You have to post about your new friends Nu. People knows about Yim and Nat as your childhood friends but  your new friends, they are not aware. I don't want to see my name linking in a news that you are spotting flirting around anyone. If they are just friends then tell the truth to others. So it won't make any assumption by others and to make it clear."

He said. It's crazy he wants the public to know that Tutor and James is just my friends like it is really the truth but him acting like we are in a relationship and being the realest couple in this industry is hilarious.

"Okay. I know Hia~ I'll update it sooner."

"Make sure. Anyway, you two will work together? Where?"

"I said he can come over the company building, so people will know that we are really doing school stuffs."

"Good. Tell me everytime the both of you meet. I need to show up so people will not think you two are secretly dating."

"What? I mean you don't need to. He is already inside the company, I think that's enough."

I said and he look at me for a moment and speak in his serious tone

"If I say I will, I will."

I only nod as my reply and just stare outside the window as he drive me home.

"I'll pick you up tomorrow to go to shoot. Just take a rest now. I know you're already tired."

He said as he open the door for me and when I hop down he immediately hug me and kiss my forehead as he say,

"Don't think I'm so strict to you and so possessive, as your partner I need to protect your career too. And I'm doing what I think is for your own good."

That makes me freeze for a moment. I know Hia maybe so ridiculous and manipulative sometimes but I can see he only not thinking by himself but also he doing it for my own sake. And that's why I still follow everything he told me.

I hug him back and few moment we let go of each other and that time he pat my hair and smiling at me. This smile is different from other smile he did. And I can tell it is more genuine now.

YIM

"I'm sorry"

"Huh?"

"I said I'm sorry"

"For what?"

"For being asshole towards you last semester."

Ohh I see he is aware.

"You just realized it?"

"Realize what? To apologize?"

"No, that you're asshole for doing that"

"YIM!"

He said annoyed and I just laughed. But after that he laugh with me.

"So? What now?"

"Apology accepted."

He smile at me and help me finishing the dishes. After that I leave his apartment and walk to my front door but he is still following me. Seemed he just walk me back to my room.

"So we are okay now? Right?"

"Sure, just don't be such an asshole again. It's kinda irritating."

"Hahaha. Then see you tomorrow at library, I guess?"

I nod and unlock my room. I wave goodbye as I enter my room and close the door.

He really can be nice if he wants to, so am I. Well I just have to be nice to him too since the both of us misunderstood each other.

I clean myself and go straight to bed cause I still need to wake up early in the morning.
