Lately, It's Winter Season.

Chapter 25 - Going north or south is all possible.

"But why are you so tall?"

"Huh?" Tiger turned to look at me as we walked home. I sent him to change the mascot. The man towards the Tiger changes. Normally, he looks very good. But now it's even more than before. After two years, he has grown taller. The eye shift should be about one hundred and eighty.

Yes, the personality looks older and attractive. During the video call, he looks good, but the real one looks better. "But you... Why does it look the same as before?"

"That's right. You used to be about the same height as me, about four to five inches taller. Now you're almost ten cents higher than me." I sighed and shrank my shoulders.

"Are you still one hundred and seventy-two tall?"

"Yes," I nodded, reaching out and holding the other person's upper arm.

"Fuck, tight muscles, animal", and came back to grab your arm. "My arm, Liquid"

"Soft," the Tiger grabbed my upper arm.

"Well, that's it. It's so soft. I want to have some hard muscles."

"Do some arm exercises?"

"I'm always out," I said. "When playing the game, my hands move." We kept walking and talking until we got home. Mom looked excited. Happy like Dan just smiled. Mom didn't say anything. I knew that Dan was delighted too.

"Tiger is back, we have to celebrate, right? The month is guarding the house. Mom and Dan will go shopping for pan-fried pork first."

"Okay, sir"

Then Mom and Dan went out of the house to buy things to make pan-fried pork. Our family purchased a pickup truck to carry things. When there is a car, it's much more convenient.

"I may not sleep at your house anymore."

"Hey, why?" I frowned and asked, walking to sit down next to him on the sofa.

"I'm working. Maybe I'll sleep for some days."

"Oh," I nodded in a deep understanding way. Suea worked hard. Since I was in Uni, some nights, he came back in good condition. If Mom and Dan happened to see it, it might not be very good. "How is my house? We bought a lot of new things. See the kitchen. That one is very full."

"Well, I dragged the Tiger to see the kitchen. I started to get excited and happy that he had come back. The feeling was delayed because I was still in a state of shock. The penguin mascot is chasing you. "Wow"

"Cool, this is the oven. When I bought it new, I gained three kilos. My mother bought new ones to bake snacks for me every day." I pointed out. "The dining table is new, and the refrigerator too. When we set up a new store, our business will be better."

"True"

"Well, are you still working lately?" I thought of it. "It's close. I've already taken the exam. It's like three or four more months."

"Really, I don't want to study much." He sat back on the sofa and sighed boredly. "Saying it doesn't help you work better. It's just a waste of time. But if I study, it's okay. After I agreed to do everything when I was in Hong Kong, between you and me, it's much better."

"That's good."

"Yes, whatever I say, he listens a lot. So I allow myself to study, but I have to work. That's why," Suea shrugged. "So I have to do two things at the same time. If I don't pass the exam, it means I won't be able to pursue a career in this field. That's all."

"Oh, but if you want to study, you're so tired."

“Tutoring with you all the time, I'm able to.”

"Tutoring with me," I made a face. "I still can't survive, Tiger. I'm not sure if there's something wrong or not. I'm afraid that you won't pass the exam."

"It's okay if you didn't pass the exam."

"Why not?"

"I raised it"

"Oh," I laughed. "Raise my wife and children, too."

"So, how will my wife's children live?" I said, raising me but not raising my wife, raising my children. What will my family in the future make fun of? "A family leader like me can't accept it."

"Why are you suddenly talking about your wife?" The Tiger frowned.

"Oh, it's normal," I replied. "Suddenly, last night, I came to sit down and think. Inadvertently, it was M. Six, I'll go to university, graduate, and get married. I'm about to skip another step, which is to enter university. The time is so fast."

"I don't think it's fast," the other party said. I'm not sure if it's my own idea or not, but the demeanour. He looks upset. "Two years in Hong Kong is like twenty years."

"Why are you in a bad mood?"

"No," he came back to his normal face. "I'm hungry."

"Oh? But you didn't eat lunch either. Wait a minute. I'll be able to eat it to the fullest."

"So, have you decided which university you want to go to?"

"Yi", I leaned back. "This one is so difficult, you."

"It's me who wants to study this because I want to be with you. Wherever you go, I'll go there."

"Mickfield talked about going to Chiang Mai."

"What about you?"

"May seriously, I don't think I can choose much. I'd better let the university choose for me." I was discouraged after comparing my score from last year to the one I achieved on my exam. "Also, I'm starting to hesitate whether to cut off from engineering or not. When taking the exam, my score was very pitiful."

"Don't be discouraged," Suea comforted. "There are still months left. You can do it."

"Dan said this, but sigh, no one knows me as much as I do. I know how much I can do." I shrank my shoulders, withered. Positive discouragement and fatigue ate my whole heart.

"You still have me." The other party stretched out his hand to squeeze mine. "What you read and came to tutor me, I only know. I don't know anything more than you. If I had to take the exam, I would get the same score as you. And you and I have three or four months left as well. Let's try better."

"Hey," I cursed without knowing it. "It's good. It feels like a friend."

"... Eh"

I pulled my hand away before leaning over to hug him gently. The other party looked very surprised before hugging and replied, "I forgot to hug you. I haven't seen you for a long time. Hugs when wearing that damn penguin costume don't count. Thank you for comforting me."

"I'm not just comforting. It's true. No matter how bad you feel. No matter how bad I am, I'm as bad as you."

"Fuck, true friend," I patted him on the back. Accidentally smiling widely before hugging.

"You're a real friend. The person who read the book led me, and I'm going to break up with all the animals, especially those who get a lot of points. Damn, I'm all bullied now. Ask whose fault?"

"They are their fault"

"It's my fault," I laughed. "I'm not very serious about reading. I play games. I don't know. Or I'm lazy."

"You may not have a clear goal yet?"

"Well, that's right." I nodded in agreement. "Sometimes my idea is that I just want to enter engineering at any university. Or if you can't do engineering, it can't be any other faculty. Or if it's the best and I still don't have a place to study, I'll drop out in a year. Go to work part-time and then take the exam next year. But I'm afraid that if I can work, I won't want to come back to study for the Adi exam.

"I want to advise you to do your best, it's enough for something like this, but do you try to set the main goal with the secondary goal first? For example, engineering at this university. If not, it may be reserved for another faculty. Or another university where the score is reduced. The first one is to motivate yourself. The reserve one is for peace of mind.”

".. Well," I raised my arms and crossed them. "You seem to give good advice, even though it was before. I'm the one who always gives you advice."

"I didn't recommend much," Suea frowned. "It's just General advice, I don't know if it will work."

"So, do you want to try it? You too."

"It's okay."

I went to sit at my computer desk. Tiger pulled a chair to sit next to me. The two of us sat and reviewed each university and faculty, discussing and exchanging opinions back and forth. It took a long time for Mom and Dan to come back. We sat down to eat pan-fried pork together. Then help each other clean up. Suea and I continued to sit and review the university.

"What are you looking at?" Dan walked in and asked carefully.

'Review the Faculty of Economics, Dan, let's sit together." I invited Dan to drag a chair from the kitchen to sit on the other side. "Dan, is this month suitable for studying economics?"

"Hmm," Dan was silent, making a thoughtful gesture. "I don't think so. When I was studying economics in high school, I disliked it greatly. I always complain that I don't understand, I don't like it, it's not fun."

"It's true, well, Dan, have you decided yet?" I asked again. I kept asking Dan if he had made a decision about continuing his studies, and Dan always refused.

"Young" Dan shook his head and smiled. "Tiger played about studying abroad. Can you listen to it?"

"Which country do you want to go to in the north?"

"Anywhere"

"Why do you want to study abroad?"

"I want to have experience. I want to meet a lot of people, meet good people, practice languages, and learn something," Dan replied. The answer may sound normal, but Dan thinks like this because Dan is a person who is intentional when doing something. "I want to step out of my safe zone, too. I want to know if I can travel to a faraway place alone without knowing anyone. How far can I go?"

"Go to a big country like America," Suea replied, "North will meet a lot of people."

"Did Tiger go before?"

I've been living for about three months between these two years.

"Oh," Dan nodded. "America? It's worth going."

"If you want to go, go," I interjected. "Let's go."

"Chased again"

"Yes, I'm fired. I'm tired of people who hesitate." I pretended that Dan wrinkled his nose.

Making a face, getting up from the chair and walking out. "Oh, where are you going?"

"Don't follow me." I sat down and looked at the dangling eyes.

"I'm sorry, I'm just touchy."

"Are you touchy? It's more like teasing."

"But get out of the debt."

After a while, I heard Dan shouting from behind the house, "It's here. Are you far away?"

"Far enough, you can come back," I laughed and shouted back.

"Okay", then Dan walked back and sat down in the same place. I couldn't help but pinch the other person's cheek.

"Invest in walking behind the house."

"It's the farthest."

"Yes," I couldn't help but raise my other hand and squeeze my cheek again until Dan cried and told me to let go because it hurt. When I took my hand out, my white cheeks became red. "My cheeks are so red that I'm so embarrassed."

"Mom, I'm still going to say it. It hurts," Dan said, "Continue. Got it."

"What about America?" I asked first.

"I'm very interested. I'll think about it. Thank you, Tiger."

"It's okay."

Then the three of us continued to sit and watch. When we found the faculty we were interested in, we scrolled to view the scores from previous years. Try to measure it to see if it was enough. Sit and watch the reviews of the seniors who were studying or the teacher who came to make a clip to tell me. Tiger didn't pay special attention to any faculty, but oh, follow me. That said, I doubt he would stay with friends.

I'm not surprised. If I were a mafia, that would be very good, talented work, and I would earn a lot of money. My family doesn't care about studying or not. I wouldn't study. It's better to work because in the end, we study to get a job and money. But the Tiger likes to be with friends. So it turns out that it's all friends. Where is it? It's there.

"You can ask Mick and Field which university they are interested in."

"Why do you ask?"

"Oh," I froze, took my eyes off the screen and turned to look at it. "Well, you said you wanted to be with us, eh, but wait, if Mickfield and I are in different places. What should I do?"

I'm curious because it says that you mean it's the three of us. It will probably choose Mick. We've been together since kindergarten.

... Well, but I want to be with Suea.

"Be with you"

"Why?"

"The Mickfields like to have  girlfriends," the Tiger replied, "It won't care much."

"Well, you're going to say that I won't have a boyfriend."

"Eh," the other party said with a smile. I made a face to put on it, even though I wanted to refuse. But there is a sign that it will come true.

"Gody," I shrugged my shoulders and said in a high voice. "I want to be with you."

"You probably don't have a boyfriend either."

"Eh"

Following the review by the faculty and the university, we began to adjust our approach to reviewing the province.

"You, I think, Chiang Mai is," I said. "I like the atmosphere. I want to go back to my hometown."

"Is our hometown Chiang Mai?" Dan said almost immediately.

"Grandma is from Chiang Mai"

"Is it also a hometown?"

"Yes, my grandmother was born in Chiang Mai."

"So I have to say that it's my grandmother's hometown."

"K, Grandma's hometown," I admit that I hadn't thought much about it. But I like Chiang Mai very much. From reading the reviews of people who have travelled, I like it. "The university is beautiful, seriously. It's so shady. What do you think? Shall we go to Chiang Mai?"

"When I asked if it was good to go to Khon Kaen, you can tell me."

"I can go up to the north and south."

"So I'm going abroad."

"North to south, it's not just Thailand. It counts the whole world. The North and South Poles can all be counted." The other party replied. I accidentally picked my mouth on it. What will get this much? The corner of my eye glanced to see the smile.

"Dan, what's the smile?"

"No, I just think it's so close to each other. Go to the South Pole Together"

"Oh, true friend, this dead friend," I think I'm ready to give a thumbs up and turn to Tiger ", You, right?"

"Hmm," he nodded at one place. "Okay, Chiang Mai?"

"I think, I'm so interested. I'd like to go on a trip once, but I'm unable to do so. I'm busy at all." I said, it's a pity that I study from Monday to Friday. On Saturdays, the school has tutoring. On Sundays, I read or take a break. Going on Sunday, it's not worth the ticket.

"Then the exam is stuck, and then go," Dan said.

"That's it," I nodded.

"Engineering?" I typed the score of the previous year. I accidentally widened my eyes when I saw it.

"Take a lot of points"

"It's to motivate yourself. Write down the score next to the wall. Tell yourself that you have to be about this much to be addicted," Dan offered, which is similar to what Suea said to motivate yourself. "When there is a clear goal, we will be more encouraged. It's good that the month can choose."

"The Tiger told me," I said, "he told me to try to set a target, so I've been looking for a goal for a long time."

"Ugh, that's good. If you score this much, you'll be very good." Dan pointed to the screen.

"It's almost full."

"No, I mean the lowest score," Dan said, "Here, the lowest score is quite a lot. It's a challenge for yourself."

"It's a challenge to feel defeated since I'm home." I started to sneak. Feeling discouraged again.

"Where did the month of the enthusiastic people go?"

"Cold month, people who are enthusiastic about studying. It died in high school. It's the beginning of that guy." I turned to say that it's discouraged, too. It's M. Six, isn't it? No matter where you turn, it's like you only see diligent and talented people. I turned to the other side when the Tiger reached out and patted me on the shoulder.

"It's okay, I'm here." This time, I smiled when I realised it.

"Okay, then let's fight together. You move the table to put that stuff. Come on and let's read a book together."

"Get it"

"Just give me stimulation," Dan interjected. "Don't put pressure on yourself. If you feel bad, stop and let's talk again. Don't take it like you have to make it, and stress until you put pressure on yourself. Is it okay, both of you? Otherwise, it will be bad. The more stressed you are, the more pressure you feel that you can't do it. And the stress will accumulate without knowing it. Don't force it."

"Okay/hmm,, the two of us answered at the same time. Dan smiled; his eyes were full of concern. After that, Suea returned to school as usual. He said that he couldn't keep up with the content. So, we discussed starting again from the university's content—four, which one can roughly repeat.

Suea said he wouldn't go home often because he had to work, but that's not the case at all. It goes home more often than I thought. Some nights I don't go to work. Some nights I really can't go back. We sit and read a book together until about midnight, then go to bed. Try to rest fully. Don't force my body. Every time I'm discouraged, I turn to look at Suea. People are walking together. It's reassuring. Its score is not much more than mine. The content I read and review is the same. I'm stressed, and I play games. Find something to see together until the day of applying for the exam. I have already arranged my exam application. It was around the same time that Dan decided to study in Boston, America.

Initially, I wanted to study electrical engineering, but I later changed my mind. I liked computers more, so I put computer engineering in second place, behind electricity. The score was only slightly apart. The rest chose another faculty that I thought would be sufficient for my studies. But seriously, apart from the two branches of engineering, I don't want to study anything else.

The Tiger chose the rank according to me, precisely as he said he would be with me.

I'm not lying at all. My best friend, my friend, I'm dead. When I applied for the exam, I found that Mick and Field had already been submitted to a university. The same reason may be similar to Suea, that he wants to be with him. They have been together since kindergarten, right? Engineering is the same, just a different field of study. What surprised me is that Tul also failed to enrol in Chiang Mai.

On the day of the actual exam, I left the exam room. I didn't perform as well as I should have. The score came out as expected. I didn't stick to the top two, but went to third place instead. I spent a long time hesitating and thinking about the answer again, and concluded that I didn't want to study in this faculty.

In the second round, I chose the same as before. With the decision not to study in another faculty, I narrowed down my options to the top two engineering choices and left the last two empty, as I didn't want to infringe on other people's rights. The result came out just as it did in the first round, with no issues.

Mom and Dan tried to comfort me. I said that I didn't regret anything. From the beginning, I was both discouraged and worried about the exam. But when I did it to the fullest, I didn't feel any regrets. This time, there is still one round left. If not, try it again next year. Fortunately, my mother understands. No matter what, even a word, there are only words of comfort and encouragement.

The only thing I regret is that Suea installed it in the first round. But because I didn't get it, he said he would take another round of the exam with me. When it was his turn again, I told him that he hadn't understood, and he immediately waived his right.

"Well, you shouldn't neglect. I'm sorry for the bastard." I rubbed my face. I wanted to punch you once to wake you up. "You're crazy. Two times, I've been addicted and waived the right twice. I have a headache instead."

"Don't stress yourself."

"Thank you for comforting me, Tui." I held my temples. Why does it look so comfortable? Plus, when I waived my right, I didn't think about anything. I only picked up my phone for a minute. I didn't have time to stop it. "Suea, Mick and Field are already addicted. Even though they are different branches, they are still together."

"Don't overthink," he comforted me again. "I chose to be with those two guys, and they had a girl. They didn't pay much attention to me. Even when I went to Hong Kong, they didn't care about me at all."

"It's true, but they said that you rarely respond to chats."

"It's not true," the Tiger argued. "You bastards don't pay much attention to me."

"Well, then you don't have to pay attention to them." I patted him on the shoulder. Being ignored by my best friend is the worst. Why overlook the Tiger because it's far away? "And when you're in the room"

"It's normal. When I'm far away, they probably don't reply to chat.

"Oh," I nodded. "If we're still normal when we're together, it's okay. Otherwise, I called and scolded him. How can I not see my friend's head?"

"Well, what are you going to do next?"

"There is a final submission. I will submit the computer and electricity." I answered confidently because I had already thought about it. "If I can't do it again, it will be next year. This year, when I'm free, I work extra and read books. It's good to have time to read for another year. I will stick next year."

"Okay"

"Okay, what the hell?" I came back to yell again. "Well, you will be with me. No shit."

"Why not?"

"We are indeed true friends, but I don't want you to cut. It's my chance."

"What chance did you cut off? What did I say?"

"I didn't get anything to study," I replied. In the end, I gave up and stopped yelling. I've already told you that he just wanted to be with my friends. "Well, I'm going to ask, but I always forget. If you go to Chiang Mai, it won't affect the event."

"No," he shook his head gently. "Sing said it was good too. Go take care of Nun's work."

"There is a branch in Nun too." I raised my eyebrows. The other party nodded instead of answering. "Well, it's spacious. You'll still choose like me in this round, right?"

"Yes"

"Okay, I think we're drinking, it's better to swear, asshole, like we will be friends forever."

"I don't want it," Suea immediately replied.

"Oh, why the hell? Where did you tell your friend to die?"

"When did I tell you?"

"Oh," I frowned. The Tiger laughed, and I laughed. "This bastard. What the hell is yours?"

"I'm going to be ironic for" he asked back ", following you this much"

"Yes," I replied, "Really, it's just a joke. It's not ridiculous. Alcohol is bitter.

I thought that if you go to college, you won't drink alcohol anyway. You will study hard. It's not delicious enough; it also destroys your health, right?"

"Eem"

"Ahhh", I screamed at home after the results of the final round came out, that I was addicted to electrical engineering. Mom and Dan ran in shock. What happened? When I said that I was stuck in the exam, everyone was pleased when I realised it. I immediately dialled Suea "Confused"

"What's up?"

"The exam results are out. I still look confused."

"Not yet. I'm outside. I'm working. I apologise, but could you please take a look? Wait. Around three or four o'clock, I should be able to go back."

"Okay"

I pressed the Tiger's encrypted login that was written next to the table. I smiled wider than before when I found out that it was addicted. But it's a computer engineer. It's ranked first, but I'm ranked second, which is very gratifying. But before you can congratulate it, you have to wait until 8 p.m.

"Let's go eat pan-fried pork! Eat at the store, I'm too lazy to wash," I said.

"What about Tiger?" Mom asked.

"I'm back at 8 p.m. I won't be on time now. Let me celebrate Bingsu with him. Another day is fine."

"Okay, then let's go. Celebrate Dan's failed exam in Boston."

"Yes," Dan smiled so wide that Dan's eyes were stuck in the exam at a university in Boston, USA, for a while. Dan himself looked very happy. However, we didn't celebrate because Dan said to wait for me to pass the exam and celebrate together, as if he were sure I would fail. And in the end, I was really at a loss.

"Is Tiger addicted?" Dan asked.

"Sticky, but it's number one in the computer branch instead."

"Well, it's a different branch, but it's okay," Mom said. "If there's a Tiger to live with, I'll trust you. Sigh, if you go alone to a distant place, both of you. I'm worried, but I'm not saying it's not a good idea to go far away. Just call me, every day is enough." Dan and I nodded at the same time.

At 8:30 p.m., Suea came home. I told him about the exam; he looked very happy. But the smile disappeared immediately when he realised that he was in a different branch from me.

"Well, what's wrong with you? It's just a different branch. It's the same faculty. During the long free time, let's go to Chiang Mai. Invite those guys, too. Consider going to see Lat Lao, find a dormitory and travel too."

"How?"

"Yes, Hor"

"Who are you staying with?" The other party raised his eyebrows.

"It's you. Everyone else has all the rooms. Only we are left," I replied.

"Or are you more convenient to be alone?"

"It's more convenient to be with you," Suea said. The latter sentence is softer.

"Sigh, it's still good."

"Huh?"

"When will you move to the dormitory?"

“The university opens in August. When do you think it's good?"

"April"
