"That hurt, I thought it wouldn't. Ouch!"

 

"Yeah, I told you to get ready. You said 'simple,' but look what happened. Your face is pale."

 

"Damn, you're the same! You squeezed my hand so hard my bones almost broke, you jerk!"

 

"It's so stinging! The skin here is incredibly tender, but it's beautiful. I like it."

 

"Yeah, I like it too. It'll probably be the only tattoo I'll ever have."

 

“Me too.”

 

Jerome gazed tenderly at the tattoo on his lover's left neck, below his earlobe, at the letters that symbolised their relationship. This symbol had begun as rivals and had transformed them into lovers today.

 

JJ

 

Tattoos, which remain on the body for life, represent feelings that will last forever. Anyone who argues that lasers can remove tattoos may never have a partner for the rest of their life!

 

"What's wrong? Why do you look like you're cursing someone?" Jinn raised an eyebrow, looking at his boyfriend suspiciously. His eyes lingered on the tattoo, which was identical to his own in every detail, except it was on the opposite side. His is on the left, Jerome's is on the right.

 

The name JJ is the beginning of many things, some good, some not so good, but Jinn likes it a lot. Having a first name that starts with the same consonant as his boyfriend's is nice, even though he didn't know beforehand that they would become a couple.

 

"Nothing, just thinking random thoughts. Looks like I can't go swimming now, huh?"

 

"Yeah, we came to the beach, but we can't go in the sea. So annoying. Oh, and we can't do anything that makes us sweat a lot either," the last sentence was said with a chuckle, teasing the person next to him.

 

"Damn, this is the real end of the world! Let's stop by the pharmacy. I know they have waterproof wound dressings. Buy some!" Jerome yanked his boyfriend along quickly, as if the pharmacy would close if they were any slower.

 

"Damn! Sweat comes out of the pores; it's not water! Even if you put a patch on it, it won't help, you idiot. You're so horny you're stupid!" He lowered his voice for the last part, so only the two of them could hear.

 

Jinn had always thought of himself as a guy who was quite enthusiastic about sex. I mean, if it were daily, he could handle it, but mostly not. But Jerome made him feel completely defeated, hopelessly defeated in this area. The other guy wasn't just doing it every day; he could do it in the morning, in the evening, sometimes even before bed. And this was before they even reached the final stage. If they actually got there, Jinn thought he might need to get life insurance first thing in the world.

 

My jaw is practically dropping just thinking about it!

 

"...I'll put a tissue on your neck," Jerome said, completely unaffected by his lover's insults. It was true. Since they started dating, he'd largely ignored Jinn’s insults, perhaps because he knew that most of the time, what the other person valued was genuinely what he was like, so he didn't know what to argue about.

 

"...I can't believe it," was all he could say, and then he was speechless. He could only let the person beside him lead him along the path that was filled with people. 

 

They're both currently in Hua Hin, not too far from Bangkok. The atmosphere is quite nice, and there aren't too many people, though probably not as crowded as Pattaya, so they chose this place for relaxation. The recent tattoo wasn't originally planned, but it happened because the restaurant they stopped at along the way was across from a rather nice-looking tattoo shop. It looked clean and tidy. After searching the shop's name online, they saw many designs and reviews. Jinn casually mentioned wanting to get some lettering tattooed, and Jerome immediately had an idea. He dragged Jinn into the shop, they sat down to choose fonts, and before they knew it, Jinn had a tattoo adorning his neck so quickly they barely had time to see it.

 

"Haha, I was just teasing you. Come on, we need to check in," he said, quickly pulling his lover towards the car to head to their next accommodation. Even though there were curious stares because two incredibly handsome, tall men were walking hand-in-hand, Jerome and Jinn didn't care. Right now, at this moment, they were only interested in each other. They didn't care about anyone else.

 

“Did you turn off your phone?”

 

"Okay, it's closed. We'll open again tomorrow."

 

"Damn, we're acting like children again."

 

"Who told you to cause so much trouble? Whatever, others aren't scared. I just hope Mom and Aunt Jenny don't get too shocked first." Jinn met his lover's gaze before bursting into laughter.

 

Five minutes ago, the two young men had just completed a national-level mission uploading a photo and message to their personal Instagram account, which has tens of thousands of followers, to reveal their relationship to the entire galaxy as a crucial witness, before quickly and cowardly shutting down their phones.

 

"It's probably not that bad. At first, they might not even believe it. It needs time to process." In truth, Jerome thought he no longer cared much about what other people thought. His dream at that time made him want to be with Jinn as much as possible. If he could do that, he'd have to reveal their relationship. Even though he thought that, doing it in reality still felt a little embarrassing.

 

Jerome sighed in relief before grabbing Jinn’s wrist and pulling him down onto his lap. "Ugh!" he cried out in pain.

 

"Serves you right, you idiot. Did you think I was as small as those kids? Haha! You're gonna get it!" Jinn laughed loudly but didn't get up from the other person's lap. You want me to sit, huh? Fine!

 

"Get up first, man! That stung! I almost broke a bone!" Jerome quickly pushed the person off his lap. No wonder he gave in so easily.

 

"Damn it," Jinn muttered, but he still got up as the other person requested. It wasn't out of pity or anything; it was just that sitting on a man's lap for so long felt a bit creepy, even if that man was his boyfriend.

 

"You sat down really hard, Jinn!" Jerome said through gritted teeth, his voice laced with anger.

 

"Well, you're the one who pulled me down here," Jinn chose to sit down on another chair not far from Jerome. The breeze from the balcony gave a cool and refreshing feeling that the capital city couldn't provide.

 

The resort they stayed at was quite expensive, but the atmosphere was well worth the price. It wasn't far from the sea, and the bungalows were spaced far enough apart to offer a degree of privacy, but not so quiet as to feel isolated.

 

“Yeah, it’s my fault,” Jerome pulled his chair closer to his lover, reaching out his hand to intertwine their fingertips. Their ten fingers clung together, inseparable.

 

"What's wrong?" Jinn tilted his head slightly against the person who had suddenly fallen silent. The young man sensed that Jerome had something on his mind.

 

"Another dream." "I haven't dreamt at all since that night. Even though I felt like everything was about to become clear, I don't know why, suddenly I haven't."

 

"You know almost everything, but you won't tell me a single thing."

 

"I was planning to wait until everything was over. Just a little more, why did it disappear?" Jerome sighed, his tall body leaning against his lover, seeking warmth.

 

"Maybe you're too curious? Try relaxing today. Maybe it's just a dream. But how will it end? Everything's changed now." 

 

In truth, Jinn didn't understand anything. He didn't understand why Jerome would dream about the future. At first, he could understand, but lately, he couldn't understand anything at all. Since everything was different now, what good would it do to let someone see a future that never happened, and never will?

 

"That's why I have to finish this dream. Only then will I know. Maybe there's still something important left to discover." The person who could see the future understood what the other person was trying to convey, because he himself was also curious. But what good would wondering do? After all, he still had to wait for the "future" to tell him.

 

"Yeah, that's possible. Then you should try to relax. It's summer break now, the uniforms you worked so hard on have been submitted and approved, and the launch is complete. You should be able to relax now."

 

"But there's one more thing I'm stuck on."

 

"What?"

 

"I haven't even had you yet."

 

"Pfft! You idiot! I'm being serious!" Jinn kicked the shin of the person who was talking nonsense.

 

"Hey, you know what? Maybe it's because of this. Yeah, there's a chance. Come on, let's go inside. The other day, three fingers got in. Today, maybe my giant snake can get in, too." Jerome quickly stood up, grabbed Jinn’s arm, and pulled him up. Finally, using all his strength, he lifted Jinn slightly off the ground and awkwardly carried him into the room, all in just one minute.

 

“Hey, Jay! You bastard! You—” the resort's gate muffled Jinn’s curses, not a sound escaping. The two young men, locked in a fierce fight on the bed, were completely unaware of the devastating power of the bomb they had dropped on social media. After detonating the bomb, they fled the scene immediately, leaving the attacked victims screaming and dazed, in a cold-blooded manner.

"Oh my goddd ...

 

"Hey, is this for real...or what's going on? Did Jerome lose the match?"

 

"But, but, but... that tattoo is real, you know! It's still red and swollen. Would you really go to this much trouble to do that for a prank?!"

 

"OMG! You guys! Screaming! My ghost ship suddenly became a main ship! Screaming!"

 

"The correct way to end a legend is to create a new one. Write that down now!"

 

"My fashion studies friends are commenting like crazy! I'm not the only one who's silly!"

 

"Jinn keeps posting and posting and posting... Oh my god! Is this really true?"

 

"And what about you guys fighting over my friend last year...?"

 

"From bad guy to love, huh? No wonder Jerome's eyes have been so sweet lately. Turns out he's in love. Shocking, but I'm happy for him."

 

"It's time to start a new legend. Could we ask you to help us create an OnlyFans page? We want to know what happens in the bedroom between these two fashionistas! OMG! / Drooling!"

 

"We know it's impolite to ask this, but we're really curious. Want to switch roles? We want to use it in our novel."

'ILYSB? I Love You So Bad?' OMG! How did it get to this point?!

 

"This must be real! On one hand, I'm confused; on the other hand, I'm thrilled. At first, I was a fujoshi (female fan of BL) with a brain full of exasperation, and suddenly I'm the captain of a warship! What am I doing?"

 

It's not right.

 

"Absolutely! I knew it! That's why they're always together. Those gazes, everything... Right now, I can only say that the person who got their crush snatched away back then must be even more confused than us."

 

"They used to fight over a man, now they're in love with each other. Is this the law of karma?"

 

"So, who's going to be the top and who's going to be the bottom? I can't picture it."

 

"Hey, what about that hot couple? I'm friends with people who've dated both of them—different people, of course—but they all say the same thing: 'fierce'! It'll make your nose bleed!"

 

"I think this is definitely true. My friend who studies fashion has been posting stories lately that always include these two, and in 10 of her stories, they're always together.”

 

"If it's true, congratulations. I want Jinn to have a real boyfriend. Jinn is a very good person to me, but I'm probably not the person Jinn was looking for at that time. I hope Jerome is the one, even though I'm very confused."

 

"My ex even commented! Hey, handsome, could you tell me a little about our date? Hehe."

 

"You dropped a bomb, and now you're unreachable! I'm tagging you repeatedly in the fashion group chat, but you're not coming. Don't run away!"
