Lately, It's Winter Season.
Chapter 20 - The security system is working.
I went to sleep, exhausted from the accumulated tiredness of hard work, having barely slept for days. This time, I fell asleep easily. A few minutes later, I was awakened by a sound. I don't like it. That I'm a sensitive person now. A slight sound wakes me up, and the mobile screen lights up. It's a notification sound from two chats. I've never turned off notifications, Ben and Suea. No matter who these two people text me, I can't let the other person wait. I get out of bed to pick up my phone.
Nong Suea of P'Sing ~🖤
I frowned and read briefly before pressing the call without thinking, driven by concern and impatience. In conclusion, the Tiger had an affair with another school during the football match. The director wanted to meet his parents, so the Tiger asked me to be his parent.
... Well, this is... It means that the Tiger has accepted me as a brother. Isn't it!!!
I tried to suppress my excitement without making strange noises. I go out and hear the most unthinkable thing in life.
(Thank you)
I cut the line without knowing it.
"Ahhh!!" I couldn't stand the screams. It's a good thing my room is soundproof. My heart started shaking before I felt hot around my eyes. Last month, I called to say 'happy birthday,' even though I still can't remember my birthday. But my very cute brother remembered and also called to tell me that my hand was shaking. I was going to press the call button, but he pressed the wrong one. It was almost two minutes before I could call Ben.
(What) The other party received it in a rumour.
"Ben Ben Bennn!" I called out to him with anxiety. Take a deep breath before taking another breath instead. I sat on the floor, one hand holding a phone and the other hand wiping my tears. "Ben, huh, Ben, heaven has mercy on people like me."
"Huh, you think a person who has never received anything before? Suddenly, I received a happy birthday, an acceptance as a brother, a request for help, and a thank you from Ben. Huh, Ben," I said, sobbing and catching the heart of almost nothing. The mucus and tears were all mixed. Ben, please be pleased with me."
(Sing, listen to me)
"Huh"
(I'm exhausted. I'm going to sleep. I thought there was something big.)
"Bannon," I pulled a long voice calling his name, but it cut off the call. Before calling again, he didn't answer. Calling for the third round, it turned off the power, leaving me to deal with many feelings that flooded me alone. That voice was still resounding in my ear, unspeakably warm in my heart.
I couldn't stand it, so I grabbed the car keys and left the room. I drove to Ben's house within a few minutes, ringing the doorbell and then knocking on the door. Soon, he came out to open it in a state of distress. He looked at me and sighed heavily.
"Sigh"
"Bennon", I inserted my body into the house, closed the door tightly and let Ho out again. Ben made a very bored face. Ben didn't say anything. It just took me to sit at the bar. Take out a glass of liquor and turn to pour it.
"What do you want, whiskey, wine?"
"No, Ben, I don't want to make fun of you tonight."
"So what's up? Didn't you fight with your brother?"
"No," I shook my head. "No, Ben. What did I tell you on the line? You didn't listen."
"I'm sleepy, I'm tired, aren't you tired? Do you still have the face of driving to me?" Ben shook his head gently. "If you don't drink, it means you didn't quarrel with me. If so, what's good happened?"
I told Ben briefly, now hiccupping again. My eyes are starting to hurt.
"Okay, I understand. You can stop crying for me first. I can't see it. It's almost working. My body is almost broken. I still have a face to cry again. Can't you go to bed and then cry?" Ben said in a low voice. Walked to get ice wrapped in a cloth.
"If you say that parents would not escape anyone but you, your brother wouldn't have asked the big boss for help."
"Huh, isn't it?" I put ice in a cloth wrap to compress my eyes.
"I'm a parent, motherfucker. I'm at a loss for words to describe the feelings in my heart right now. And I also say thank you."
"So, are you going?"
"Yes, of course," I said in a stiff voice. "I want to meet the Director"
"... It's not just that I want to meet him, of course."
"You go investigate his history. Bring his family history too. Or should I go see the director at home tonight?" When I stopped thinking about Suea, I came back to realise that I still have to help him tomorrow. It's not good to go to him.
"I should go on the day of the parents' meeting." Unfortunately, I don't know either the teacher or the director, and I haven't had the opportunity to speak with them, which would be beneficial. But because Suea doesn't seem to want me to go and wants him to live like other children, he doesn't interfere in school.
"It's a shit to meet tonight," Ben said. "You're going to break into his house. Really?"
"No, just knock on the door. I'm a guest. The director wants to meet me?"
"Do you mean tomorrow at school?"
"People should go before the appointment time. According to manners,"
"You should go for fifteen minutes, not fifteen hours," Ben sighed again. "Don't be impatient. Whenever it's about your brother, your calmness is gone."
"Okay, listen to me, listen to me," Ben grabbed my shoulder. "In school, quarrels are considered very serious. It's not unusual for your brother to lose points. The principal did his duty. He didn't do anything wrong. Because your brother was the one who started it, he was suspended from school and called the parents." The other person tried to explain. But it only came to my ears.
"My brother has already started."
"Oh, it's the most wrong."
"My brother is not wrong, my brother is never wrong!"
"BEAST," BEN CURSED. "THAT'S IN YOUR LINE AND THIS STORY WILL END WELL. YOU GO TO SEE THE PRINCIPAL TOMORROW. LISTEN TO THE FAULT. LET YOUR BROTHER APOLOGISE AND PROMISE NOT TO DO IT AGAIN. THIS IS THE END, SO DON'T MAKE A BIG DEAL."
"No, I'll make it a big deal," I said, "I like it. Magnificent!"
"Sigh," Ben held his temples, "I know that you don't listen. My dearest brother begged for himself. In your mind now, you probably won't let yourself down. Believe in this, brother."
"Yes, you are worthy of being my best friend." I touched his shoulder.
"You're the accelerator, Sing, and I'm the brake, you bastard."
"Well, really," I nodded and accepted. If it weren't for Ben stopping me from doing many things, I would be worse. "So I haven't greeted the principal yet. Okay, but you have to investigate his history."
"Okay, so what's next?"
"If you have a bad history, play hard. Another school that has a problem is Shut up."
"K", Ben nodded. "But I start work tomorrow. It's part-time."
"It's too bad. Where do we have time to work?"
"I'm sleepy," Ben said. "Tomorrow, I'll wake up to look up my history early. Is it okay? But now let me go to bed first."
"Okay," I reluctantly admitted. "I'll sleep with you. I'm sleepy too. I can't drive back."
"You can drive here."
"I can't stand it now."
"Well, let's go to the living room."
"Okay, good night."
"Well, good night." Then Ben walked up the stairs. As for me, I slept in the living room downstairs. I was anxious for a while because the Tiger's words were still circulating, but in the end, I was defeated by fatigue. I fell asleep again in the living room of Ben's house.
The person who complains that he is very tired but can't sleep on the upper floor of the house is complaining that he has to sleep in a place where he is constantly distracted. The mind drifts to the person who is probably sleeping downstairs. He is the first person that the person always calls to understand everything in the other person's thoughts. Be the only best friend for more than ten years.
Ben is the son of one of the gang members. He was chosen to stay here because he works best with Leo. He was trained to be a bodyguard, right-handed, as if everything he does is always centred on Leo. The first time we met, I thought that we would never be compatible. Outwardly, Leo is a rare person who doesn't trust others, discreet and fearful.
It took years for them to get closer. Ben learned to be a complex person in Sing. He works well every time. Decisive and unshakeable. He is a boss that everyone respects, despite his youth. Of course, Ben himself, too.
However, in normal times, Sing himself has some angles that, at first, he can't think of being a talkative person, crazy, or someone who likes to play big, including being the most miserable Bracon in the world, as everyone sees him as calm. Sometimes he is so reckless, surprising and impatient that he always has to wait for him. When knowing that he is the only one who is trusted to the point of revealing those perspectives
From just trusting, it turned out that Ben had given his heart to him, just like tonight, and that Sing came to see me after being cut off by him, even though it was because of the Tiger story. It secretly makes him quite happy. Ben is not sure what the other party will think. Sometimes it's like just best friends, but sometimes it seems to have more than that because they used to kiss... When I was drunk, but the next day, Sing returned. I can't recognise anything.
Ben shook off the image of that day out of his head. Instead, his eyes were sleeping again, and this time there was a deep voice in his head. The voice that kept calling his name, no matter what happened. Ben sighed again.
Sigh, you really never know anything, Sing... It's better to go to bed first. Sing will cause a headache tomorrow. Give a little for sure.
I woke up early in the morning and found that it was past seven o'clock. I walked downstairs; I saw Ben sitting on the sofa. There was a laptop on his lap. He was doing something so intently that I couldn't help but tease.
"Wake up early to make it real"
"Please give me a salary increase," he complained. "It's not really in the gang."
"I'll give you a bonus instead." I'm ready to walk and sit next to it.
"Three million"
"You can work once and then set yourself up."
"Well, I'm going to marry my wife," Ben said, even though he didn't look around.
Even this way, I stopped before shouting.
"You're going to be crazy. You have to work with me. Come dressed up as a wife." This time, Ben turned to look at me. "Why?"
"So, who will work with me? I don't trust anyone."
"Yes," Ben nodded as if you go before handing me the laptop.
"The principal of your brother's school has no bad history, but another school."
"Ahaha", I looked at the laptop screen that Ben scrolled for me.
"Even though the news has been closed for many years, I'm sure there has been a pre-existing case. It was abused children before."
"Ah". I nodded, "Close the school and take the director. Go shoot him."
"Shoot him."
"Isn't it child abuse?"
"It was another teacher."
"Then kill that guy too. How is it harassing?"
"It's harassment."
"Cut his hand before killing him."
"Director. Also ?"
"He knows, he agrees. Otherwise, how can he turn off the news?" I said, "I took revenge for that child and felt that I was really a good person. Sigh, I wonder if I would go to heaven... No, I'm in heaven now."
"You're a good person," Ben said in a low voice, but I heard, "Eh, okay. I'll arrange it for you. What about the principal of your brother's school?"
"Did he never do anything? A little bit of money?"
"No," Ben shook his head.
"What a good person," I complained. "Then it's okay. We can just meet the principal."
"Just found it."
"Yes, I just found it," I said before grabbing the car keys. "See you at noon."
"Eh"
"It's not just meeting... This one was called to threaten," Ben said in a low voice. When he arrived, he saw me wearing a newly cut suit, an expensive watch, and sunglasses. Take about six escorts, two cars.
"Wait a minute", Ben approached, reached out and grabbed the area under my chest.
"Gun? Son of a bitch! Why are you carrying a gun?"
"Protect myself"
"In this school?" Ben frowned and shouted, "What do you need to protect yourself from? Do you think something in school can hurt you like that?"
I didn't answer anything, just shrugged. When wearing the inner suit, the solemnity of Pum is back.
"Bring me the gun"
"Ben", I looked down a little, looking at it through the lens. "What did you say? Just trying to disarm me, I'm already an enemy."
"Well, are you crazy? Bring a gun into the school, Sing, I beg you." Ben made a serious voice. We looked into each other's eyes for a long time until I gave up. I take off the gun and give it to Ben. Ben passed it to someone else to collect again. "I'm comfortable."
"Eh"
"There's nothing in the school. No one will be crazy enough to take action. The school is so blatant." Ben said that he was ready to turn to his subordinates to discuss the escort plan. I opened the door to sit in the back seat. After a while, Ben came to sit next to him.
"Is it done yet?"
"Well, you can get out of the car."
The black car moved out and stopped in front of the school gate. Ben lowered the glass to talk to the front doorman.
"Come to the director" The deep tone is entirely still. Both the eyes and the attitude are not much different from when working, causing the face to lose its colour. The voice in response was trembling, and it looked like he was trying to control himself.
"Ma... What's your business?"
"The parents called the younger brother."
"Ah.. Yes, but the car can't go inside. Excuse me. Park the car outside and walk in."
"In," Ben said yes and turned to look at me.
"Why are you so tense?" I couldn't help but ask back in a teasing way.
"Because of the tense atmosphere around you. Playing with me accidentally tense, asshole," Ben complained with a big sigh. "We went down. First of all."
"Okay", I opened the door and got out of the car. Walked around the car to the guard. When I stood at full height, I found that I was much taller than he people in security suits or the people in suits. I can tell you that my hair is very dark. Wearing dark glasses again. The person in front of me appears to be paranoid and scared.
"Kha... Please allow me to check the weapon."
"Hmm?" I let out a soft voice in my throat without interest. Meanwhile, Ben walked over and stood next to the guard. He trembled even more. "Do you have to check it?"
"Bro... Yes, please allow me." He stretched out his hand and touched me, which both Ben and I agreed on. When we saw that the two of us were unarmed, we took out a set of documents. "Please sign."
"I signed it myself," Ben said, "I took the documents to sign. When it was done, the guard gave it to us. So we walked into the school. "We've just checked for weapons. Do they usually check?"
"I don't know, I'll be honest.
I just realised that now the high school checks the weapons of parents and children by sweeping their eyes around to see a large football field first. The field where the Tiger practises every day. Next to it, there is a marble horse table with some children sitting on it, probably because it's noon, so the children are not in the school building. Walking back and forth. And of course... Everyone looked at us with a shocked expression, not understanding what was going on.
We became the centre of attention in an instant as we thought. At first, I thought I would go to the director myself. But the Tiger turned back and called first.
(Where is it?)
"Just came in front of the school"
(Okay, I'll pick you up)
The other party cut off the call.
"Ben, Suea said that he would come to pick up. At first, I thought he didn't want anyone to know about me, so I went to the director myself... But he will come to pick it up."
"... Sing, don't cry."
"I know," I said, my voice soft, gritting my teeth a little, holding back tears and feelings. Soon, I saw my brother's face, which I hadn't seen for months. I decided to ask a question. "Have you eaten rice yet?" He turned around and made a slightly surprised face.
"Eaten"
"Hmm"
".... What about you?" I was even more surprised than he asked back. Even so, he answered honestly.
"Not yet"
"Oh"
The corner of the eye caught a glimpse of Ben, secretly smiling. "I invite you to talk again," Ben whispered.
"Then... How are you studying?"
"It's good, how's your work?"
"It's good," I replied nervously. It was a very nervous conversation. Why the hell, even though when we were at home, they scolded each other, "What about football?"
"There will be a school-level competition next month."
"Oh"
"What day?"
"Thirteen"
"I'll find time to see it."
"... Thank you." I glanced at the person next to me for a while and then spoke.
"It's okay to lose. I won't tell my father."
Suea couldn't even say anything. He frowned for a long time. "Anyway, Dad, I know anyway."
"I can't say anything to you."
"Why"
I was silent and didn't answer. We walked to the director's room.
"Ben, you wait outside"
".." Ben nodded in response to the order, but it was clear that he was unwilling. Very much, he's probably worried about what I'm going to do, Principal.
I raised a smile at the corner of my mouth, as if I didn't have to worry. Organise my outerwear. The expression was solemn, as if I were about to negotiate a work deal. Walking straight into the solid glass room, I saw an elderly man sitting and waiting inside. His first reaction was as I've seen him countless times. He didn't seem to expect it. He quickly got up and said hello.
"Kannathee's parent, right? Please sit down."
I sat down, leaned back against the back of the chair, raised my legs, crossed my eyes, and scanned the whole room carefully before stopping my eyes at the person in front of me. The atmosphere in the room became more tense. My eyes didn't respect him at all, and I thought he would see it. The face began to lose its colour.
"Be a brother... Is it Mr Kantkaew? Your brother wrote it. In the contact form of parents"
I'm still.... Tiger wrote my name in the list of parents like that? Oh, it's so heartbreaking. "Yes, you can talk about the business."
"Well, your brother has seriously violated our school rules. Yesterday, there was a fight. There was also a fight in the football event. The relationship between the schools as well." The principal stopped for a while. "And you are the beginning of the story. So I need to invite parents to talk about the violent and inappropriate behaviour of children."
"What is the purpose of the football event?"
"Because the children of both schools often quarrelled, we thought it was necessary."
"I know this"
"Yes?"
"I know that children often fight each other. So why do you come together?"
"It's so that the children of both schools understand each other."
"People can understand each other because the school's football team competes.
That's right." I rolled my eyes. "Is the brain able to think like this?" ..." He was stunned, probably because no one had ever said in front of him like this.
"Have you ever asked my brother why he started a quarrel?"
"What about your students? Have you ever asked them to explain first?"
"... Ma, there is no need to explain. If it's against the rules, it's against the rules. I don't care about anything."
"What about the initial problem of the two schools' quarrelling, you know? Is it?"
"It's just that children fight each other. These children don't think about doing anything useful. They only think about creating problems. Some people even call it social garbage because their parents don't teach them. I can't let children like that in my place. I must admit that our school is a well-established institution. Kannathee is a talented child. But unfortunately, I can't think of anything. "I got up and walked around the table. He was about to get up, but not in time.
Already
"Ah, aug!"
I pressed the principal's head against the table impatiently. I hate talking to people who have no idea what they're talking about. This type of person will never speak for a reason. I prefer this method. It both saves time and is easy to talk to, as one looks at the Tiger. It doesn't look shocked, so I trust.
"Let go! Let me go, help me! Can anyone help me?"
I grabbed my hair with my hand, pulled my head up and slammed down again hard. The annoying shouting stopped, and he caught him, raising his head, only to find that his nose was bleeding, and his forehead was cracked, making him dizzy for a moment before he came back to consciousness.
"Will it be easier for us to talk this time?"
"Ugh, Ugh... Anyone can help me - Huh."
The voice quieted down again when the cutter in his room was pointed at his neck. Pressing a little force to press the blade down just enough to make a shallow wound. His tears began to flow, and he hiccupped. The whole body trembled with fear. "Heek, sorry... Huh, I'm sorry, I'm willing. Please let me go."
When I saw that the other party wouldn't be angry anymore, I trusted myself. I stabbed the knife and cutter down to his hand about two centimetres. The principal was startled. He probably thought he would be hit by his hand. The more he saw this, the more scared he was.
"Okay, let's talk again. You won't make me angry again. Right?"
"Sis... Yes, heek, huh, don't do my hair."
"I want you to apologise to my brother first."
"I'm sorry, huh."
"Are you okay?"
Suea didn't answer, just looked still, "I'm not doing anything, just hurt, a little bit, I'm not the one who started first, but I was stigmatised as wrong and didn't explain anything."
"Did you hear that?" I asked, raised my foot and kicked the chair until I fell. "Bow your head and apologise to my brother"
"Huh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Huh." He lowered his head to the ground. I gradually felt a little better. It can be called spoiled. However, as a long-time member of the mafia, I would like to see something like this.
"Look up," I ordered, and the other party agreed, but he sat on his knees on the floor. Seeing that, I turned to look at the Tiger. "First of all, let's teach. Don't try to talk if it's not useful. Do this to save money. It's more time and easier to talk to, but you have to make sure you can control the situation."
"Well," he nodded.
I smiled with satisfaction. Seeing the principal's expression, which was both scared and resentful, I guessed he was thinking about what to do if he could get through this situation and how to take revenge on me.
"Huh", I made a pitiful sound in my throat for that stupid thought. I picked up my phone and made a call. Turn on the speaker so that everyone can hear it. Soon, the end of the call was pressed.
(Yes, Mr Leo)
"... Sir," the principal opened his eyes as if he didn't want to believe what I heard ", Why?"
"I have something I want to help you with."
(Yes, you're welcome)
He crawled into my feet, shaking his head and begging with tears. I kicked him away, annoyingly. Secretly satisfied with that disappointed face. He would have understood that when he was in front of me, he couldn't do anything.
"Nothing anymore"
(Ah... Yes, if there is anything, you can always contact me, Mr Leo. I'm happy. Always help)
"Thank you very much." I hung up and walked closer.
"Do you understand? That I can ruin your life."
"Huh.... Huh, sir."
"Okay," I leaned against the table. "My brother's score will not be deducted. As for the story, take a break from school.... Do you want to take a break?" Tiger shakes his head.
"Okay, there is no school break, and I hope you will change your mind about the students again," I said with a smile. "From now on, please take care of my brother."
"My friend too," Suea interjected.
"My brother friend too"
"Yes, Huh."
"You can get out. I have something to talk to the principal."
"Okay," Suea nodded and walked out. I sat down in the same chair. Send your eyes to tell the principal to sit back. He got up clumsily, picked up the fallen chair, and sat down with a still trembling look.
"I'm not very satisfied with this school," I said honestly. Since walking in here, there are many places that I don't like. When I think that Suea has to come here every day, I start to worry. "The building is too old. My brother is in danger. Improve it too."
"... Yes, sir."
"There are a lot of people in the cafeteria. Why don't you build more?"
"... Yes, I will build more."
"The classroom should be an air-conditioned room, what do you think?"
"Yes, it should be an air-conditioned room."
"Please give the football club a lot of budget. The lawn doesn't look good. I don't want my brother to get hurt."
"Yes," he shook his head.
"Is there a line to honour the national flag?"
"Yes, sir."
"Cancel it. It's annoying. It's hot too. I don't want my sister to be exposed to the sun."
"Yes, yes."
"What about the rules? Do I have to cut my hair or customise my clothes?"
"Yes"
"Cancelling, nonsense, my sister will cut the shape and be handsome like me. But cutting the secondary style throughout the year must be very boring."
"Sis... It's about that."
"Hmm?"
"Yes, I will cancel it."
"Well, what else is there?" I sat and thought, "Check the teacher well. Don't let a bad teacher teach or scold my sister for no reason. Avoid using insulting or harsh words like that. What kind of social trash comes out of the mouth of a teacher? I want to cut my mouth to my mouth to my ears with a knife."
".. I'm sorry, I won't do it anymore."
The bathroom is cleaned. The computer room has been improved. Reduce some study and homework. Learn to organise creative activities as well. Use your head to think and understand.
"Yes"
"Is there a problem with distilling the stairs in the school?"
"No, sir."
"Check carefully, there is no way not to have"
"Yes"
"Oh, but I like that your guards check weapons before entering the school. The security system is usable, but it's good to add a guard with CCTV cameras."
"Check the weapon? Well, yes, yes."
"It's like this. Let me say it first. I hope you're not wrong. Next month. I will send someone to have sex."
"Yes," the principal said before I walked out. The tone of voice and posture looked very cautious. "Yes, even if I said that, I don't have a budget for some things."
"Ah, yes... You've never embezzled money."
"Yes"
"Choose to be a good person, even though the dog's mouth"
"... I'm sorry."
"Let's take a look at the school's budget," I said. Then the principal went to look for it in the cabinet and retrieved several documents for me to review.
"Well, this is from the past three years."
"... Hmm", I opened it briefly and understood that I didn't want to improve. But sometimes there is really no budget.
"I'll give it to you. I've already contacted you." I handed him a business card.
"Thank you." He bowed his head and stretched out his hands to pick up my business card. I walked out of the room comfortably. I saw Ben sitting with a face.
"Is the principal safe?"
"It's not dead yet."
"Just bleeding?"
"Take out the blood of your head, remind me." I said, "What about Tiger?"
"Go to class"
"Okay"
"Do you want to go back?"
"Go back"
On the way back, Ben asked me what happened. I told him. He listened roughly.
"Don't call that person and use it as a big threat from the beginning."
"Annoying, you don't speak well," I answered honestly, "if I remember correctly. You have a job in the evening."
"Well, just keep people indifferent."
"I'm doing well"
"I don't have to reach you."
"Come on," I drew my arm and put it on the backrest behind Ben. "You were born.
What should I do if I make a mistake and get injured like last time?"
"It's just a scratched arm. Will it take long to tease?"
"I'm not going to tease"
"So what?"
"People are worried. Do you realise it?"
".... Go worry about your father."
I frowned at it. Because there are subordinates, I can't speak out. I can only cry silently in my heart.
... Bennon, why are you so mean to me!!
