“Hello, I’d like strong cocoa, extra strong, no sugar added… People who drink this have a lot of things to do” Pete was sitting in his seat just about to drink his mocha milk cap when he saw a man coming in front of him, ordering a drink in a loud voice…
And the drink he ordered sounded so interesting that Pete couldn’t help but look up…
Walking in was a tall, melon-faced teenager, wearing a school uniform with his tie loosely tied low and a sweet smile at the waiter.
“And then ask for a strawberry smoothie, something a little sweeter oh hello beauty.” Pete immediately bowed his head and hid his almost laughing look, the shopkeeper was about four years older than him and still being molested like that, but the shopkeeper immediately replied.
“The first one is not sweet, is it? Little brother.”
“Yes, no milk, no sugar, nothing, because the person who drinks this is crazy.”
“Are you kidding me?”
The teenager who ordered the coffee giggled, thinking about how to fix him, and gently said to the shopkeeper, “A little bitter, it’s perfect!
Then why don’t you just order an espresso?”
“Oops, how about that, it’s already noon, my friend doesn’t drink caffeine,” finished and made a forked gesture.
Pete couldn’t help but want to meet the tasty man, to see how he reacted after drinking the drink?
But… it doesn’t seem to be any of my business…
The teenager with his head bowed and sipping matcha was about to go to lunch before taking his chances over the football field and finally heading back to the department.

“Ai’Pond, what took you so long to buy a drink? I even went to the dorm to get the books and you didn’t buy them!”
Fuck!
This familiar voice came along with the sound of the shop opening. Pete's entire body stiffened instantly, his heart was beating abnormally fast in his chest, his hand holding the mocha was even a little shaky…
“!!!” When he looked up, his eyes suddenly brightened, and the person who appeared in front of him was… Ai’Ae!
A lean man walked in with a textbook in his hand, a slight look of impatience on his face, this boy without anything special, was so ordinary, especially when standing with his tall friend, more like a green leaf that sets off others, easily forgotten…
But not for Pete… at the moment, the only thing in his eyes was the ordinary man in front of him.
Ae looked a little impatient, his hair was a little messy, his school uniform was particularly tight on his broad chest, and the corners of his clothes were exposed on the outside of his trousers, wearing a pair of “vintage” shoes that were half new and half old.
It’s only a few short seconds to be able to see something still very one-sided, but it’s enough to make an impression on anyone watching him…
I wonder if it was because Pete’s eyes were all about him at the moment, so he didn’t have time to avoid his gaze when Ae turned around and saw him, and the two’s eyes just collided. Ae was first shocked, then smiled.
That smile made the person who was sitting there intoxicated as if in a big dream, his cheeks flushed.
That same smile as yesterday.
Jesus!
“Hey, Pete, what are you doing here?” Ae walked into his desk as he spoke, Pete at a loss for words, his mind still on the things he had confessed to him yesterday!
He confessed to him that he was a gay man, but today one could sense from the look in Ae’s eyes that he hadn’t changed much from yesterday.
“Well…”
“He didn’t bully you again yesterday, did he?” Ae suddenly changed the subject, the impatient look that had just been there instantly turning to worry, and he shook his head indicating no.
“It’s gone silent, er… thank you.”
“Thank you for what, why do you have to say thank you every time you see me?” Ae shook his head and smiled as he looked at the handsome Khun-chai in front of him, in fact, at the moment he was also thinking about him, planning to go to the parking lot this afternoon to try his luck and see if he could meet him, I did not expect to meet in the small café by chance.
“Thank you… For helping me yesterday,” his heart was beating violently, and he tried to smooth out his tone of voice so that the other party wouldn’t notice, and the other party just picked at his eyebrows.
“You’ve thanked me enough… What did your mother say?”
Pop!
“Who is this, Ae?” The short man was about to continue asking when someone tapped him on the back, and the flatulent Pond suddenly ran over and stared at Pete with a nosy look on his face, and Pete had to smile at him.
“Hello.”
Hmm, so polite and well-dressed, and also so handsome, I didn’t expect this shorty to know someone so gentlemanly.
“Um, hello hello, are you a friend of Ae’s? Hey, why haven’t I seen you before, is it the football team?”
“Hello, gossip!” Before Pond could continue to ask some strange questions, Ae turned to him and cursed.
“Have you ever disgraced me like that!”
Ae smiled shallowly as if to say, how long are you going to gossip about me? Ae reached out and tried to punch at Pond, who ducked backward.
Who would have thought that a person so small in front of his eyes could have such explosive power!
“Well, it occurs to me that I haven’t paid yet, so you guys talk first!” After saying that and running towards the counter, no need to think to know, Pond still had his ear perked up listening to what they were saying, he was too eager to know who this Khun-chai was, as a friend of many years Are already knew that Pond had not given up gossip, Ae turned around and looked, then changed the subject.
“You haven’t told me what you’re doing running around here. Doesn’t the International Academy have a canteen too?”
“Oh ooh, still he is a student at the International Academy.”
“Miss, how much is the total?” Ae turned to look again, and Pond immediately looked back at the waiter as if to say: I didn’t eavesdrop on you!
“Well…just in time I…” want to see you.
Pete immediately swallowed the latter wards back, he did not dare to say so rashly, although he liked the person in front of him that the other party could not like himself, he was just kind enough to come over and help, and there was nothing he did not want, he could only laugh and forcefully make up and excuse.
“I couldn’t find a parking spot this morning, so I parked across the football field.”
“That’s pretty far!”
“Well… yes.” Pete laughed dryly, bowing his head and sipping his drink to relieve the awkwardness, he was already short on words, he didn’t know what to say at the moment, and the light from the corner of his eye saw that Pond had already brought a drink and walked over, which showered that… there was probably no way to go on talking.
“Well, here’s yours!” Pond walked over with 2 drinks and placed the bitter cocoa on the table, Pete was just about to ask for a reminder when Pond gestured with a finger over his mouth, gesturing for him not to say anything, Ae turned to look at Pond, who was pretending as if he was drinking his strawberry smoothie, sneaking off to look elsewhere.
This kid must have done something.
Ae thought in his mind, but didn’t say it, looking at the two people across from him, Pete could only dryly smile, but that alone had given the footballer a lot of information.
“I’ve changed my mind, I’m not drinking cocoa, I’m switching with you!”
“Don’t, don’t you just hate drinking sweets? My cup is very sweet, so sweet that I can kill you. You order your cocoa and drink it yourself, but they made it for you with their hearts.” Pond yelled, shaking his head repeatedly and refusing to change it, but felt that the sentence was so sweet that it seemed to attract the shopkeeper’s displeasure.
“But I just wanted something sweet today, I spent so much energy pedaling my bike early in the morning and needed a little more sugar.”
“How about a lollipop, then?” Pond said, still not giving up.
“No, it’s what you say is good to drink ha, then you drink it,” Ae finished and shoved the drink into Pond’s hand, he was just about to say no when Ae continued, “Did you order some weird drink for me to drink?”
“No way!! Would I f**k do it for you? Not at all!” Pond replied while raising the volume and taking a big gulp of the bitter cocoa.
“Well, it’s all said and done, it’s especially good!” Pond said to him through gritted teeth, pretending to be calm, and Ae took the cocoa and gulped it down.
It’s not bitter to see you this time, after seeing Ae take a big gulp, and then…
“Well, it’s pretty good!”
Fuck! How can you say it’s good when it’s so bitter? What’s your throat made of?
Since the whole thing hadn’t worked out, Pond was so angry that he wanted to blow his head off, and Ae turned around just in time to lock eyes with Pete, the Khun-chai at the end of his seat, who smiled softly at him.
This smile seemed to be mocking the friend behind him, but in his eyes, this smile felt as if there was a feeling of not being able to say. It felt like it’s making the good Ae a little “Bad Bad”.
“Oh, eh! I’m going to dinner. Are you going? Or are you going to have a chat with your friend here?”
Pete was stunned, secretly relieved even though he already knew the other man’s answer.
“Go on, it just so happens I’m hungry too!”
“Uh, see you next time then.”
Hearing this, the polite teenager smiled softly at him and gestured that there was no problem, a light flashed in his eyes as Ae got up, then looked down at the sandwich he had only eaten a little bit, Ae got up and turned around again and asked.
“Have you had lunch yet?”
“Well, uh…” Pete pointed to the sandwich for the person in front of him but shook his head feeling like he didn’t see it.
“This is a snack at best for me, it’s probably digested in 10 minutes, how can it serve as a lunch? Come on, I’ll show you what it means to have a real lunch!” Ae admitted that he saw the same kind of eyes he felt, just didn’t want him to go, and it must have been boring eating alone, so he invited him along, to put it bluntly, he was worried about him.
Not to mention the cyclists, it’s the cyclists who think they can’t starve to death if they eat this much!
The person who was worried about his friend didn’t know how happy Khun-chai was at this moment, but he was more or less embarrassed.
“Ugh, won’t you be embarrassed?”
