My Stuborn: English translation

[4 years later]

On the morning of the first day as an intern, Juwin dressed up in the dormitory early to avoid wasting time in traffic. There is a high school nearby, which causes traffic jams in the morning. It takes several minutes to clear the red light at a separate intersection. As for Win, he is at home, which is considered a benefit for city residents. That person made an appointment with him to meet at the company.

 

It took about 40 minutes to travel to the company. It's good to have time to arrive a little earlier before the appointment. When I arrived at the tall building in front of many companies, I rented a floor in one of the companies. Because some companies have a limited number of employees, they often need to build a dedicated building for them. Renting the space in the company makes it seem much more economical. He went straight to the public relations department to contact the students.

 

During the internship, there were two other faculty friends, Pae and Ae, a man and a woman, who were unable to come to practice here because they were at large companies. However, he was looked up because Win went to inform Hia Thai, so the party intervened and claimed that the company had an allowance for him. Pae and Ae are the company's descendants. This is a patronage system that only accepts close people. The company is large and has also exported furniture abroad.

 

From a small company that sells furniture to a factory and a large company within a few years. Because Arong has Hia Thai to help expand the business a lot. It is a true noble child. Studying outside the city or one's field is not a waste of time. There will be only one winner, who will receive something similar to what his brother has.

 

"Sit here and wait first. The people of the company who take care of them will come to pick you up." The public relations girl led them to the lobby. A new coffee shop is now open for business. Sending the aroma of coffee to make you drool. I walked to order coffee to refresh himself on his first day of internship.

 

Sweeping my eyes all over the first floor. I've been here once before. At that time, I remember I came with Win because Win had to come here to get things. The atmosphere here is still the same. Many employees are walking around. Office workers who work like ants for their own company wake up early to check their tickets. Work until the evening before it's time to leave.

 

"You're so fast." Sitting and sucking less than half a cup of coffee, I saw Win walking handsomely with a new hairstyle. Looks good from afar. Mad, the son of R.T. Design's owner, enhances individuals' appearances. It goes hand in hand with the person he respects and is most grateful to, who is the number one benefactor.

 

"Who will be like you? It's almost late. And all the trainees have come, right? Are you ready to work?" Thai asked with a smile. Received respect from the three students from different institutions.

 

"Wake up still"

 

"I'm awake.... Oh... I'm awake, Mr Thai." The audience even smiled at the demeanour.

 

"Call me the same as before. It's all our own."

 

"So the vice president of the company came to pick us up?" I asked. No less considerate.

 

"I'm not the vice president of the company. I'm just a normal salary employee. Go and go. This is the pass. I carry it every time I come to work. Do you know what time you go to work? What time do you leave?" Thai handed the employee card, which featured a picture of each person, along with their name and position.

 

They went up to the company's floor, which is still on the 15th and 16th floors. The 15th floor houses several departments, including marketing, accounting, finance, and production, where Win had to go for training. Thai Ka introduced himself and took the interns on a tour of the office on P'Wed for the sales staff, a tall, handsome 24-year-old.

 

"Hello." Everyone raised their hands to pay their respects, even Win, but still did so because Hia Thai said that during the job, Win was an intern. As for himself, he was just a company employee who received no privileges. Must act like other employees in every way. Arong himself sets up this rule. If the son makes a mistake, there will be no penalty. The salary remains for the position.

 

"Hello, brothers and sisters, my name is Prat. So what is this name?" The young man asked with a kind smile. But Juwin would smile a little wider than others when he met someone familiar. Coincidentally, P'Prat was his code line at the faculty. When he was in the 1st year, the other party was in the 4th year. We talked to each other during the code line, and when he graduated. That's when he raised his eyebrows before turning to pay attention to others.

 

Once everyone had finished introducing themselves, they began walking through the various departments. There is only a low partition separating the proportions of each person's desk. The building's clear glass offers a panoramic view of the surrounding area. Traffic is heavy because it is almost in the centre of the city.

 

When walking around, complete the whole floor, then take it to the next floor. This floor will feature a foreign department, divided into separate units, including public relations and sales. There is also a personnel department. P'Wed whispered that everyone calls this floor a 'cold room.' One is that the temperature is quite chilly. The second is that this floor does not want anyone coming up because the personnel department is very strict. The foreign department is a little bit of dancing. Which Thai and Champ are in this department

 

"Khun Penny, these are the children who will come to do an internship with us this year," P'Wed told the girl who was dressed very well. At first glance, I know that she is a girl with high self-confidence. The other party wears eyeglasses, but it is not clear whether she is short-sighted or long-sighted.

 

"Say to call Penny on P'Wed," the words mixed with laughter made the young man smile.

 

Pennapa, also known as Penny, is a beautiful woman in her late 20s or early 30s. The girl maintains her figure and takes excellent care of herself. In terms of work, she is also good. She is the head of the personnel department, and everyone is afraid of her because of her expressions.

 

"Nong Juwin doesn't have to be tense. I won't bite." Penny teased when she saw the company's child. Juwin moved his hands to rub them gently, increasing the temperature. It is not surprising to call this floor a cold room. The difference between the two floors is evident from the entrance and the atmosphere. This floor has no partition. But it will be proportioned to fit comfortably into a corner. A large table for the foreign department's meetings is in one corner. A glass partition and electronic devices that take time to present the event are arranged accordingly.

 

The most prominent part is the sofa with a company employee seated on it. Looking at it, you can recognise that it is not a Thai person sitting at work. It provides comfort as if working at home. From the ground floor, where a table and a pile of documents sit, the working atmosphere appears too stressful and serious. Overall, this floor is considered a working office that many people dream of.

 

"P'Prat, how many years have you worked here?" When the two of you have time to live together, Juwin asked his seniors. Prut turned to smile while walking towards the dining room on the 15th floor, straight to the coffee corner to make a drink.

 

"It's been more than two years. When I didn't finish my studies, I applied here, and he accepted."

 

"It's so cool. Do you know that this is my friend's father's company? It belongs to Win's father," Juwin smiled. Let's show off a little bit. P'Wed nodded to accept because it was enough to know.

 

"Nong Juwin is handsome and tall, right? Why do you look like Thai?"

 

"Eh! Do you know a person named Champ?"

 

"Which champion? Inter Champion or Sales Champion"

 

"I don't know, my friend Champion."

 

"Oh! P'Champ Inter is up there. He's so good at the job. I met him once when he brought garlic-fried rice for the whole company to try. It's very delicious." Juwin smiled broadly upon receiving the information. Hia Champ has been a delicious cook. Whenever he said it, he thought about the taste of his food. If we met today, it would be great, but when I went upstairs, I didn't see him. I wonder if he hasn't entered the company yet.

 

Juwin has been in the import-export department. As for Win, he went to the factory with the head of the production department named Chit. He had to go upstairs with a corner next to a window. He spoke with James, a young Singaporean who had come to work at the company and spoke Thai fluently, although his accent was somewhat different.

 

"Our company has exports to Vietnam and Singapore. Now it is penetrating the market. American and European sides. The highlight of our products is the material and design that combines Thai style and is easy to use..."

 

Juwin sat and listened as James discussed the product's details and explained the work to him. Today, he began studying the work first. After that, he went deeper. James said that Thai's team worked very hard. Because they want to send furniture to many countries, but are facing a stagnant economy during this period. He said that the Thai team are the company's Avengers because they invade every situation.

 

"So where did Hia Thai go now?" He hadn't seen Hia Thai since the other party had sent him off with the intern for P'Wed to take care of.

 

"I'm going to pick up my friend at the airport," Juwin cried softly before turning back to pay attention. Work continues.

 

Finally, the long-awaited lunch break has arrived. In fact, there are many à la carte restaurants around the company. Including pork leg rice, red pork rice, noodle shops, and air-conditioned restaurants, you have to choose where to eat. Now he doesn't have a close friend like Win, so he goes with P's group of P'Prut, who has a backpack and Ae.

 

After finishing lunch,  Pae and Ae asked to go to the market around the company first. As for Juwin, who was full of food, his stomach was tight, so he went back to the company to dry out in the cold air-conditioner. It's better than when he entered the building; he stopped by to buy a cup of coffee. In the meantime, Poy Xian called and asked how the internship was going. He only answered that he hadn't started anything; he had just learned the job first.

 

He stood, waiting for the elevator to take him up to the company's floor. While waiting, he played on his mobile phone, liking a picture of a male junior on the fan page featuring a good-looking man, and at the same time replying to the guy who sent him the link. Their current status is that they are talking to each other, not binding them to a date or a conversation. The other party can talk to anyone in the meantime.

Thinking up to this point, I can't help but smile to myself. He used to have a girlfriend, but now he has someone to talk to as a man. Because of P'Sorn alone, P'Sorn, whom he has never seen again since 4 years ago. The person who ordered him not to do that to others, the person who seduced him to get to know the taste of men.

 

When I went up to the company's floor, since it was still lunch break, there were no employees present. I continued exploring around the 15th floor before opening the fire escape door to access the 16th floor. Previously, P'Wed said that if you go up and down the first floor, use the stairs instead of using the elevator.

 

"Immmm... What do you want more than this kiss? Ah..." The sound of a man made Juwin stop in his tracks when he was about to go upstairs. He secretly sneaked down the stairs to see what someone was doing and found something good.

 

Juwin saw two young men caressing each other until they were almost lost in each other. The hands that were all over the buttocks were pinched. Before inserting them into the pants, he saw the face of the person who was caressing the other person, someone familiar, making him almost forget to breathe.

 

"It's bad to peek at it like this." The sound at the back of the head startled Juwin. But I don't know what to shock first. I was shocked that someone caught him secretly watching P'Prut, like threading a needle or seeing P'Sorn standing and looking at him at close range.

 

"Pa..." Shut up before dragging the other party up to the 16th floor, but still don't get out of the fire escape stairs because this area is more private than in the office.

 

"Pa....." Juwin was still stunned when a person who had not seen each other for a long time appeared. His heart was pounding, almost falling out of his chest. The memory of the last contact still affects him to this day.

 

"Well, it's me."

 

P'Sorn hasn't changed much. However, the other party's skin colour will be slightly darker. The figure is strong, tall and airy as before. The muscles that Win once said he wanted to have are still there. Sorn is wearing a navy long-sleeved shirt, rolled to the elbow, paired with black slacks. Polished leather shoes exude a professional look, befitting a company employee. The other side looks like a full working-age adult whom he has never seen.

 

Sorn looked at the young boy, who used to wear school clothes and shorts, but now wore student clothes and had a modern hairstyle that teenagers liked. The hair colour that had been completely black was dyed a caramel brown. The acne face and full wire braces were replaced by smooth skin and beautiful white teeth. There is no one like that boy he has ever met again.

 

"Where did you go? Why did you suddenly disappear?" The first question was to the point, and I was taken aback because I hadn't expected the other party to ask in this manner. I decided to continue or make a face, as I often do, to annoy him again.

 

"Phu has a busy business at home, plus he lost his phone, so he didn't contact anyone for a long time," Sorn answered truthfully. At that time, the phone was lost before he could buy it, and because they had lost it, they didn't think about contacting him as they should have. But his answer will make the child in front of him very unhappy.

 

"I don't see you. Can you stubbornly disappear like this? Fuck!" 4 years ago, he felt like the other party was dumping him until he was clearly punched in his chest. Sorn was a little surprised as he stroked the head of a young boy who now had a tight face, as if he were 18 years old.

 

"What are you angry with me? I came to see you." I intended to meet you. He had to move to Vietnam to expand the market there. However, because I knew the other party would arrive, I wanted to see the child who had an issue with him. I didn't think I would meet him when he was secretly watching people who were in love with each other. Plus, the symptoms that Juwin showed when they met face-to-face looked violent.

 

Juwin was stunned because what he wanted to say was too shy to speak. The atmosphere between the two of them looked clearly tense. Unlike four years ago, they clashed every time they met. Juwin sighed heavily before starting to talk again.

 

"That day, fuck... The day you and I."

 

"What day?" When he saw the other person's face, he asked Juwin.

 

"It's that day, the day..." Juwin made a round hand with a hole in the middle and moved back and forth.

 

"The day I helped you twitch... Oops"

 

"Don't speak loudly!" Juwin jumped and snapped his mouth almost in time. The Arrow brushed his hand.

 

"Well, why that day?"

 

"Kha... Thank you," Juwin said, because if he didn't help that day. It's bad, and I have to go to the hospital instead of going back to sleep well at home.

 

"What are you mumbling?" Sorn asked while frowning. Juwin raised his face before repeating. It's not much louder than the original sound.

 

"Thank you"

 

"What?" The person who pretended not to hear tilted his head and leaned his ear closer. He pursed his mouth tightly, thinking that the other party's ears were tight and didn't hear what he said. Do you know how much courage it took to gather that he had to collect this, thank you, for 4 years to tell the person who helped him not to suffer to death in that pub? The person who opened the sexual experience for him was the most heartened.

 

"Thank you!" Juwin slammed the sound at Sorn, laughing even though his face was still close to the other party. The tips of the noses are only a few centimetres apart.

 

"With pleasure." Without saying anything, he still pulled Juwin's cheek to his hand until he stretched out. The young boy shouted at the person teasing him, but the face remained still as the person walked out of the fire escape stairs, leaving him standing alone on the cheek that had been pulled.

 

════[changbins_delulu_wife]════

 

In the afternoon, Juwin was still studying with James as usual. Additionally, he didn't see Hia Champ, Hia Thai, and P'Sorn in the morning. But now he sees the three of them talking with serious faces.

 

"Juwin... Juwin... Nong Juwin!" James called out loudly when the intern who was with him was floating. Juwin was startled, as were other company employees, who looked at Khao Song.

 

"Ah... I'm sorry, James." James smiled at the boy's shy look before telling Juwin to retrieve the document that had been copied at the photocopier in a separate room at the end of the corridor. Juwin accepted before rushing to pick it up. However, the paper did not come out as it should because it was stuck inside, so he had to have someone else come to help.

 

"I'll go see it for you, James." The volunteer, Champ, said that, but someone argued. "Don't you throw the work to me and run away? Go to work, I'll go see it myself." The Arrow is arguing.

 

"You said you don't like him. Stay away, I feel sorry for Win."

 

"Just teaching how to use a copier, what are you worried about? You finish your work. Khun Juwine will come. Your work is not finished. I won't help you anymore." After saying that, he walked away. Thai looked at the two friends arguing while laughing.

 

"Sorn is mean and kind. You can pretend that you are not used to it."

 

"Be careful, be careful, Nong Rak, you will be dissected by it. You know how much that bastard is. On the first day of the internship, I met this stone; I was sitting and crying." Champ said with a stiff face. However, he still had to summarise the work he had done for the team leader at the end of last week's meeting.

 

On the other hand, Juwin, who got the Arrow to help, had a headache even more. Because, in addition to the Arrow not teaching as he should, he also stood in the way until he was frustrated.

 

"If you don't help me, just leave."

 

"Who told me not to help? Turn on the machine and pull out the drawer to insert the paper. It's stuck there." How can he know? This significant document, he never caught doing it right the first time he taught, right?

 

"Not there, here," Sorn pointed out, but Juwin was still confused. Accidentally turned to look at the other person. With an emotionless face, he was intimidated by the Arrow with his eyes.

 

"Do you use perfume too? It smells good."

 

"Hey! Why did you come in and sniff my neck? Get out of the way."

 

"What's yours? When I help you, you tell me to retreat. When I don't help, you chase me."

 

"Well, you're too close."

 

"Closer than this, I've been, or you don't remember," the person asked with a flat face. But what almost froze Juwin was the arm that wrapped around him, pressing the button to turn on the machine. Which now works normally, and the document James ordered printed has come out.

 

"Brother... Don't tell anyone about it," Juwin said in a serious and soft voice, as if in a whisper. His eyes were looking at anyone who had passed by and heard about the two of them.

 

"Which story?" The listener pretended that he was not distressed about the secret between them. Two people may fall out of favour with each other one day.

 

"That's it, can you not get dizzy?"

 

"I'm older than you, Juwin. Speak well."

 

"Well, brother...

 

"Speak well, I'll bite your mouth." He didn't say anything, but he still stretched out his face to pretend to snatch the pink mouth.

 

"Well, don't say anything. I'm serious. I don't want people to know about this."

 

"Well, don't tell me, stop making a stressful face. And bring your line with you, add me to your contacts"

 

"Why did you take it?"

 

"When you can't contact me, you'll be angry again."

 

"No! Now I've grown up. I'm old enough to find my own clips without relying on you, Brother" After saying that, Juwin immediately ran away from the room. Sorn looked at him before sighing. Yes...He's grown up. I don't know if Juwin had used the subjects I taught him. Thinking up to this point, it's itchy in the heart of the guy who said not to do that to anyone, he really said. However, it may not work as he said it would.

Or not?

 

════[changbins_delulu_wife]════

 

In the evening, when I got off work, Juwin received a message from Win that he would stop by to pick up some food at the department store. In addition, he also made an appointment with someone, so he thought he would go together. When he finished packing up and surveying his own neatness in the office, he came out to wait for the elevator.

 

Many employees whose names he did not know. Or some people whom he knew but was familiar with were waiting for the elevator. P'Wed, the university's senior, was typing a chat to someone, smiling broadly. The picture, taken during the day, when the other party was ruffled, still caught his eye: a thin man in a begging posture.

 

"How are you going back, Juwin? Do you want Hia to drop you off?" While he was looking at P'Wed, his voice was broken. Turning around, I saw the three people, including the one who liked to tease him, appear at the back.

 

Juwin heard senior employees and female employees say that Hia Thai is very hot. Because he is the company owner's son and has a handsome face, he has no acne, so girls often find him attractive. Additionally, we have significant customers, such as Hia Thai. When discussing work here, Hia Thai typically receives souvenirs from customers. As for Champ, some people say that he is a gentle member of the group. Because it differed from P'Sorn, who was brutal, the company's interns and newcomers were scolded for opening Peng until they cried.

 

"It's okay, Win will stop by to pick me up and go to the buffet," Juwin replied with a big smile. Now I don't have braces so that I can smile with my whole mouth. In addition, the teeth are so beautiful that Go Nueng also praised them as worth the cost of braces.

 

They went down there. Win said he was waiting at the parking lot. Thai had to go there, so they walked together. He turned to raise his hand in respect to P'Wed before the other party walked away.

 

"Brother Juwin! This way! This way," a shout of Juwin sounded at the window of his dear friend's car. The younger boy, who was only one year his junior, was waving his hand. Greet next to Win's car.

 

'Just Love, ' a young boy with a degree in Cute Boy of the faculty, is sending a big smile to him. Just a cute person. Whether it's shape or character, they've only been talking to each other for about two months, but the relationship still doesn't escape the words' senior' and 'Junior,' anyway.

 

"Who is that kid?" The person who had walked behind and kept his mouth shut for a long time immediately asked, while holding the back of Juwin's student shirt to slow him down so he could get the answer first. Thai and Champ walked to Win’s car, but Sorn and Juwin were still at the end.

 

"Just"

 

"What's wrong with you?"

 

"Talker"

 

"The person you are talking to is a man? Will you have a boyfriend?!" Sorn turned to ask, incredulous. As far as I recall, the boy had a girlfriend previously. At that time, he taught him to help himself; he still thought he would do it with his wife. But why...

 

"You can't have a boyfriend."

 

"What right do you have to forbid it?"

 

"Do you want me to have the right here?" Sorn asked back, making him stunned when he realised that the other party was pretending to open his mouth and pretend to walk away, but was pulled by the bag strap first.

 

"Remember, Juwin. In the past, I'm not sure how you managed to live. But I want to emphasise to you that the words I told you 4 years ago, don't do that with anyone else, I'm telling the truth."

 

At the end of the words, this boy has grown into a young man. In my heart, 4 years ago, he didn't use the subjects that he taught. He may want to teach many more things.

 

Sorn wants Juwin to learn those things from him. Even though neither party likes the other, I want to remember only his touch. Just one Arrow that will teach Juwin to learn to walk.
