My Stuborn: English translation
Chapter 1.
A young boy with pale white skin from his father. His face is marred by acne; he is thin yet strong for a 16-year-old. He cycled from home to the 'Kim To's market to Go Nueng's tea shop, which is located in a commercial building next to the bank alley. The shop is neither big nor small. There are two wheelchairs in front of the shop. Additionally, it is a shop well-known to everyone in Kim To's market, as it is spacious and open from 5:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. every day. He parked his bike in front of the store, not coming down as he thought. Instead, he called a middle-aged man who was standing and raising to feed customers in front of the store.
"Dad! I went to play at Win's house." 'Juwin' shouted to his father and then made a gesture. I was going to cycle away, but my father called me first.
"Wait a minute, come here before paying respect to Hia Thai first. Tiny is the little son of the uncle. Come on! Come down here," Go Nueng beckoned his little son to come into the shop area. "This is Hia Thai, pay respect to him," Ko Nueng pointed to a handsome young man.
"Hello," Juwin raised his hand to pay his respects, smiling and showing his braces when the other person smiled.
"Is this the person who secretly ate fish food with Win when he was a child?" Thai turned around. Asking Ko Nueng if he remembers that this kid used to play at home with his brother.
"Yes, yes, this one."
"Oh, I'm a young man. I'm a lot taller, do you remember him?" Juwin thought about it for a long time before nodding, because Dad's Hia Thai is Hia Thai, Win's brother, his best friend.
Hia Thai is five years older than Win, but he is kind enough to accept his younger brother. He joins the group. Whenever he goes to play, he takes his brother with him. He is considered to love him very much and is generous to him. Because he has a sister who is 6 years older than he is, playing is different, so he is more addicted to Hia Thai than his sister.
"When did Hia Thai come back from Malaysia?" Hia Thai studied in Malaysia for many years, as far as he can remember. Since going to study, he hasn't met anyone at all because this place is not a regular place. Win's family moved to a city many kilometres away. Many years ago, the other's face had changed quite a bit, perhaps due to the hairstyle and maturity. If I remember correctly, Hia Thai should be in college now.
"It's been a year since I came back, but I didn't come back to this area. I'm free during the Chinese New Year. So I came to visit my grandmother, too."
"Will you come back every year?" The young boy asked, his eyes sparkling. If Hia Thai comes back, his friends have to come back too. Because they study separately, they almost don't see each other. If so, he will spend every year with his best friend. Nearly a week like this, it's great.
"Every year, come back to grandma to see your face, and that there is still a nephew. Are we going to find Win? Let's go. I come here for several days this year because grandma complains about missing you." After receiving the permission, Juwin raised his hand to pay his respects again. His father pulled him by his superhero T-shirt as he pretended to run to the car.
"Wait, asshole, Hia Thai's friend, sitting with the other two, why don't you pay homage first? This child teaches, I don't remember. This is Hia Sorn and Hia Champ."
"Hey, hello. Hello." Juwin raised his hand to pay respect around the table for the rest of the friends to meet Hia Thai's eyes. The whole group is handsome. The entire group will be attached, but Hia Thai's face will be removed, while the other two friends will have authentic Thai faces. Dark skin is associated with the honey colour. One person likes to smile, while the other person smiles, but with a smile at the corner of their mouth. Use your eyes to look at him from head to toe.
What the hell are you looking at... When that party looked at him, he looked back without giving up. Juwin's friendly face began to sullen as he looked at a hot-blooded teenager who didn't like anyone looking at him like this.
"Hey!!!" Suddenly, the person who had been staring at him shouted, startling him. The teenager who held it well became afraid instead. When the young man stood up at full height, he stepped back because he thought that the other party would take the matter to stare at his face. But in his heart, he was ready to fight if that person took the matter into their own hands.
"What's wrong with you, Sorn? He was shocked," the person named Champ asked.
"The dog will pee on the car." After saying that, he looked at the back of the car where it was parked. The young boy followed, before winking his eyes to look at the vehicle's owner, who was annoyed. The other party stared first and raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, like a laugh that pretended to scare him. Juwin quickly left the shop but didn't make a face at Hia Thai's friend.
"Ai Win", who is Ama Yi's house, is the owner of the Kim To market that everyone respects. Ama is an old woman here. There are two sons and one daughter. Ama insisted on staying here even though the middle son invited her to live in China together. The last time, you didn't want to move, so your eldest son's family is a friend.
After cycling to the end of the market near the municipal office, you will arrive at the house in under 5 minutes. There is a fence surrounding the area of a large house where a large family resides. Many cars are parked in a row because it is the Chinese New Year. Ama Yi's descendants return to visit Ama, including his best friend.
The chirping sound of elementary school children and younger children was running loudly. However, the owner of the house, an elderly woman over 70, who is still strong and smiling, sits and watches with advantage. The white hair, with a hint of golden ends, was curly and wavy, until it was shaped like the clothes they wore, made from good fabric, because their children bought them all the time. Ama Yi sat and talked with her son and daughter, who brought their respective spouses to pay their respects. Juwin walked closer before crawling to Grandma's knee and clapping his hands to pay respect.
"Hello, Ama, do you remember me? I'm at a tea shop with Ma Ma. Ping"
"I remember, Lue always comes to play at Aw's house, why would I not? I remember?" Ama replied with a smile, "Avin is in the kitchen. Ajin bought snacks for you when she travelled to Taiwan. You can go to the kitchen." Thai words with a Chinese accent, but still heard about Ama, made Juwin hurry to get up and go to the kitchen. To meet my best friend, whom I've been playing with since childhood. Before we meet, we have to wait for the other party to be on semester break before they can stay here. Or in front of a festival to gather relatives like this. Before leaving, he didn't forget to pay his respects to the leading elder who was sitting in that area.
"Oops!" Running out, before he reached the kitchen zone, he bumped into a man. I don't know what his head was hitting the other person, but it hurt a bit. Put your hand around your forehead and gently rub it. Before looking up, it turned out that Hia Thai's friend was rubbing his chin.
"Be careful when walking. People walking around the house are still running around like children." After considering apologising because I realised I was older, I had to keep my word. Instead of asking if he was hurt a lot, I went back to Ed like that. We don't know each other. I don't like the look on this Hia Thai friend's face. So damn it.
"Who is the child? I didn't walk and watch it myself, that's why I got hit," Juwin asked back. Huan, if you allow this person to kiss the dog's ass, it's better.
"Speak carefully, kid. Are you young and don't want to die?" The words are like a declaration of battle. Juwin turned back to look at the man, who was older than he was. But believe that one day he will grow up with the other person. He decided to walk away because he didn't want to have a problem.

"Your friend's friend made a face. I saw it secretly tongue when I passed by the kitchen. He's not a 1st grader, but he behaves no differently." On the second evening of visiting a friend's house during Chinese New Year, the children took Amai to the whole house, leaving only Thai and their friends. As for the other two fiery teenagers, they went out to the convenience store.
"Juwin? That's annoying. That's it. I don't believe you. Ask Champ. Now he's addicted to Champ. For the past two days, he's seen my face and asked about Hia Champ." Thai said while delivering the steamed rice, just taken out of the refrigerator, to stir-fry in a pan to make fried rice for Champ.
"You make a face first. He told me," Champ argued instead.
"So what did it do to me that I have to smile at you?"
"Just build friendship? Every day, I'm silent, I'm not used to it," Sorn sighed. Leaning back on the backrest.
I don't like children anyway. I'm annoyed when I see them.
════[changbins_delulu_wife]════
"Juwin, bring hot tea to serve", Go Nueng called his son, who was playing with Win behind the shop. Two people, even though they are 16, act like children who have just risen from the edge of their chairs.
Today, there are not enough staff members at the store because only one subordinate can serve customers on time, so they have to ask their son for help. Of course, during the Chinese New Year, the number of customers at the store will increase by two times. That's because the relatives of each family come back to visit the house. It's a gathering of small relatives, second only to the Ching Ming event. As for him, he has lost both his father and mother. There is only one brother, but they live in different provinces, so they rarely see each other. As for the older relatives, they come to visit.
"Which table?"
"That's Hia Thai's friend," Ko Nueng replied without looking at his son's face. Juwin turned to look at the table before sighing. This Hia Thai's friend no longer accepts guests and prefers to discuss lemons without water. Asking anything is not good. When I learned from Hia Champ that Hia Sorn doesn't like children, I don't want to say that children don't like old people like this either.
"Can I have a patong koh too?" Sorn said, he didn't say specifically who, but the person who had just placed a glass of hot tea in front of him had to know that Juwin picked up the plate of 'Jakoi' that everyone called distorted as a patong ko for the person who asked for two long, index finger-sized dough, almost in the shaped in the shape of a cross. The crispy yellow on the plate was picked up and torn off.
"Sweet condensed milk too." Before Juwin had left for more than half a step, the same voice came again. The boy walked back to his father and asked to share the sweet condensed milk in a small cup of dipping sauce for people. The dead seat is at the table.
Don't you get bored coming in every day? Hia Thai and Hia Champ haven't come so often. When they arrived, they kept staring at each other until their spines were tingling. Uzah was in the back of the restaurant, but Dad still called to serve again. Does anyone know that he was not destined for this brother?
"The owner of the shop has such a spoiled face, the customer still enters the shop," the voice said. Hit the ear, causing smoke to emanate from it. Who will the other person talk about if not him?
"Some customers should receive good service. But with some people who don't get it because of why, they should think for themselves." The words of the teenager in front of him made the Arrow look from Head to toe.
"Good mouth like this, it's...." Sorn stopped talking. Juwin, who was looked at, even went home that evening. His father, Sorn, complained that he wasn't good at serving and still didn't speak well. Juwin walked up to the room before immediately dialling a favourite friend.
"Win! I hate P'Sorn, you bastard! Don't let me run out of patience, I'm playing with you." Venting my anger to my friends, I fell asleep. When I woke up in the morning, the anger I had felt the day before was gone.

[1 year later]
"This Chinese New Year, I will starve to eat duck. Doctor Shane scolded again."
"About your teeth"
"Erdiva, the wire is easy to fall off. I just gnawed on the chicken bone, and it fell off. The time before I went to change the tyre, I was scolded." Juwin complained as he walked around his bedroom because he had to put things away in the right place. And I will choose clothes to wear to the beach with Win as well. This time, Win's house will stay at the beach for two nights because Ama Yi has symptoms. Stressed as if the old man had a lot of treasure. The children came back during the Chinese New Year, so they booked a short trip. He has no interest in this family, but he asked to hang out with them. He was also complained about by his aunt.
Every Chinese New Year, he likes to go to Win's house because he is considerate of Ama Yi. But Hia Thai spread his wings to protect and asked for permission to travel on his own. Not enough, Arong, Win's father, stopped by to eat tea at the shop and even talked to him about travelling to another place, so his father allowed him to go.
Tang Panya's family (Arong's last name, Ama's side; the original surname is Chae Lee, but it has now been changed to Sriwaiwit) departed early in the morning in a private car. A total of three cars belong to the eldest son's family, who took Ama Yi in the first car. Later, Arong's son-in-law is the second car. And the last car is Hia Thai's at the end of the procession. This time, Ama's middle son's family did not come along.
"Where did you say you don't sleep? This pillow is my pillow, I'm panting, how can you grab it?" Win shouted when his best friend pretended to grab the pillow and hug his banana. In the car, there was Champ driver. They sat facing each other. He, Juwin and Sorn, another brother's friend, sat in the back. The point is that the big Arrow, with long legs, spread its legs, sitting, and took up two spaces. The two of them sat almost close to the door. Juwin tried to squeeze his legs, but he watched the other party use force to fight.
"You're mean, I sit in the middle of the neck pillow, don't you feel sorry for me? My neck hurts," Juwin cut his face that used to have acne faded because when he was a full-fledged teenager, he turned to take care of himself more, both braces and finding a doctor to treat his face. This is his sister's money, earned from part-time work.
"Win shared some with friends. I have one pillow, so how can I use all the pillows alone?" 22-year-old Thai warned, making the whole car silent. Win turned to look at his friend. He who is now hit in the face, sad, squeezing tears, calls for pity, points. Seeing it, it's terrible. Who are the descendants of this house?
"Win told him to bring his own pillow. He said he was lazy. No. Hi," Win argued with his best friend, pretending to strangle him because he was arrogant enough to tell the truth.
"Do you understand the word kindness to fellow human beings, Win, I'm..."
"Get the pillow and be quiet. I'm going to sleep." Sorn threw his neck pillow at the person sitting next to him before leaning his head on the back and closing his eyes. The child can fight even with one pillow. It's annoying.
They arrived at the accommodation late. Everyone helped each other carry their bags and store their belongings in the bungalow-style accommodation. A total of 3 houses are reserved. The resort is situated on a hill, allowing for a clear view of the Thai sea. Juwin got out of the car and stood lazily, but his arm pushed and hit Sorn in front.
"Sorry", he raised his hand to pay respects, but Sorn made a tense face before waving his hand.
"You make a good face. Don't look for the child," Champ whispered to his friend. He saw that Sorn made a face at his beloved brother, so he didn't want to have a problem.
"In case you forgot that last year, he secretly put firecrackers on my soles as well. I'll give you a good relative with Pret's child, I'm not good either." Champ could only sigh. His friend resented the body. Because last year, Juwin also teased the Arrow.
"Win, your brother's friend must hate me," Juwin said while turning to the man. The young man with a spoiled face quickly turned around when the other party glanced at him.
"Who? P'Champ or P'Sorn"
"P'Sorn"
"Ma'am... Where is your minor heroism, Juwin? Secretly added salt to his brother's toothpaste. Stick a garlic firecracker on his brother's shoes. Take his underwear to hide."
"At that time, I did a mission with you! We played the game, and you told me to follow the winner's orders." Win laughed because it was true, as he said. But not all of them are the winners' orders. Juwin himself added a prank on himself, so that Hia Sorn was not destined to be a prankster. Cross the year like this.
After eating and relaxing until the afternoon, the children took turns at the beach to play in the water. The little boy that day grew up as the days went by. From having only small children, they all grew up. Win has two cousins who are twins, about 11 years old. Ama Yi, despite being very old, remains strong. Even though there is a burden from vendors in the market who don't get along, the children take her to travel. This place is much more relaxed.
"Hey!! Don't be shy, Thai. I don't want it like this." Juwin shouted when he was caught with two arms and two legs. Because he had teased Win before, he was taken aback by finding reinforcements to tease him. Champ and Thai caught their brother's friend, Win, filming a clip.
Boom!
The tall body of a high school student was thrown into the water until it was completely submerged. The shorts that he wore were wet on his slender legs. The white skin is now a little darker because he enjoys playing football, which often exposes him to the sun. He raised himself out of the water. Standing with a face because he drank many sips of seawater.
"Wow!! Brother..." When he couldn't stand up, he couldn't rub the water out of the boy's face and was carried in the bride's position. When he turned around, he saw a ruthless smile from the Arrow at close range before Juwin's body was thrown into the water again. For a long time, he was delighted.
"P'Sorn!" Juwin's loud shouts drew laughs from the people standing and watching.
Not less, even the face that likes to be tense like an Arrow, still smiles, the sun has gone down. The barbecue party began after the resort gave its permission. Additionally, this zone is moderately distant from other houses, so it does not disturb other guests staying there. The big chef can't escape Mrs Zhen, Win's mother, with a child as Khun Mee, the wife of Ama's eldest son. Two middle-aged girls help each other make dipping sauce and a pork marinade. As for vegetables and various side dishes, the children helped make them with Ama Yi, with some assistance.
"How did you make a fire, Win! Come help me. You can keep calling Fang." Juwin complained because his friend had been missing in the room for a long time, but there was no sign of his friend coming out to help. The last time he followed was when he was on the phone with his girlfriend. His hands were stained with charcoal, a pile of leftover paper almost used up, but the charcoal was still not burning. The sweat began to seep all over his face, even though he had just taken a shower.
"Juwin: After making a fire, the pig is ready to go to the stove," Thai shouted from the side of us.
"Not yet, I'm trying, Win doesn't come to help," he secretly complained to his friend's brother.
"Sorn, if you're free, go help him," Thai told the person who was scratching the acoustic guitar, not paying attention to the pouter in front of the grill. Sorn glanced at his friend and pointed at him. Thai nodded to him because Champ went out to buy more beer. Tonight, they will get drunk. Sorn sighed before getting up and walking up to the teenager who couldn't light a fire in the grill.
"How did you get through the scouts?" The older man complained enough for the other party to hear. In the evening, he was teasing.
"I can do it myself, go sit down," the speaker said, making eye contact with the big man with a clear expression that suggested he was scolding him for being stupid.
He is the only person who calls me "my brother." At first, I understood that because his face is Thai, his skin colour is similar to that of a southerner. But with Champ, whose physical condition and appearance are not different, he was also called Hia. This assumption was dismissed. I used to ask Win why Juwin could call others 'Hia'. Win therefore explained that Juwin classified him as 'not close,' so he was called 'brother.' As for Hia, call only close people. The prefix size is still clearly classified. Crazy children stir their feet from the appearance.
"Go get a tissue," Sorn ordered. The person walked to ask Mrs Zhen for vegetable oil, but when he came back, Juwin was still standing in the same place, using the same method of lighting. "Go get the tissue," ordered again; the voice became darker as well. Juwin looked up at the person who was almost ten cents taller than he was.
"If it's messy, can you wipe it later? If you don't help, go back and sit down." He hit his voice a little because of frustration. Frustration that the light is not on, and frustration that the other party does not think to help.
"Do you listen to the language of knowledgeable people, Juwin? When did I say I wouldn't help you? I told you to get a tissue so that you can soak it with vegetable oil and use it as fuel." When I explained to the child that he only understood, Juwin immediately agreed to do it. Walked to get a tissue with a face, but his ears were red. I'm embarrassed because my face is broken.
"Where did you get this method?" Juwin asked because it really lit the fire, as he said.
"There is a charcoal stove at home."
"It's difficult. Today's gas stoves are not expensive. Why don't you buy it? It's more convenient."
"I said that the house has a charcoal stove, but I didn't say that the house doesn't have a gas stove," the young man said.
"It's okay to answer well, I don't think you have to swing it at all." After saying that, he walked away the other way. It's better to follow the good friend who disappeared to talk on the phone for a long time. Sorn looked at the teenager. There was a wire full of mouth and sighed. And he didn't answer badly. He hasn't raised his voice yet.
The next day, because Champ and Thai had drunk a bottle of alcohol, there was no drive back. Sorn had to act as a driver instead. Win used Ama Yi's descendant to choose to sit in the back with Champ. As for Thai, he went to take a big car with Ama Yi because the adjustable seat was more comfortable. Juwin had to agree to sit as a driver's friend instead.
"Park the gas station in front of you," the young boy said, his eyes still fixed on the phone as he frantically pressed the game to play. Sorn glanced at his eyes briefly, but did not do what the other party said until the car stopped at two pumps.
"Brother... I said I parked at the gas station, so I've been to two gas stations."
"I see you playing the game; I don't want to bother you."
"Damn... Stir the feet"
"You speak well, I'm older than you, Juwin." The older person's voice grew darker. The face from a comfortable place became smooth. Juwin turned his head to run away in the other direction instead of feeling like changing places with the people behind him, but he fell asleep.
Arrow was parked at the PTT gas station. As the teenager wanted, the young boy rushed to the bathroom because of the pain of peeing. Win and Champ woke up with headaches before going to the bathroom, and they also walked into the garage with Juwin, who told them to buy food at a convenience store. The driver came down to the bathroom and skipped the line because he had a long drive ahead.
He walked into the convenience store to buy coffee. Don't forget to purchase five-star fried chicken, because even though he stopped to eat, he still wanted more. "Tear the chicken for me, too." When he came up to sit in the car, the Arrow put the fried chicken bag on the passenger's lap.
"You bought it. Tear it up and eat it yourself."
"I'm driving, are you blind? Just tear the chicken and feed me. Do you have this kindness? I drive for you to ride."
"Then why are you buying things that are so troublesome?" Juwin grumbled alone, but Sorn still heard it. He then stepped on the brakes enough to jerk the car, causing the people in the back to cry out in shock. The person sitting in the front was no different. When he saw that he was being teased, Juwin tore the chicken and pointed it at his mouth because he didn't want the other party to drive like this. Otherwise, everyone would all die.
"Sorn, drive well, I'm going to drive, don't stir your feet," Champ grumbled before closing his eyes again. The hangover subsided a little, but if you drive and brake like this, you have the right to vomit. As for Win, he put on headphones to cut off everything. Sitting and looking out the window, the car stretches the aesthetic mood with the forest on both sides of the road.
Sorn opened his mouth and snapped the chicken in the boy's hand, with his eyes not leaving the road in front of him, whose face was spoiled, sighing like a person who was offended, but he couldn't do anything. The other party was really driving. He couldn't bite the chicken as a normal person could. He had to dip the sausage to eat it himself, alternating with tearing the chicken breast to fit it into the driver's mouth.
Kiss!
"Hey! Why do you suck my finger!" Juwin squirms like being hit by hot food. He shouted because Sorn not only ate chicken but also sucked his fingers. The other party grabbed his hand to suck his fingers like sucking his own fingers. The tingling in the index finger and thumb made Juwin pick up a tissue to wipe them. Sorn glanced before smiling at himself. The bad boy was fucked. It's good to tease him like this, as it's enough to cut the child's annoyance as well.
