My Stuborn: English translation
Chapter 14.
Squeak!!
The friction between the wheels and the parking floor suggests that the car's owner is not in a good mood. Sorn got out of the car as usual. However, the face appears fiercer than usual. Korn saw his brother at work walking, so he went in and said hello. Raised his hand to say hello, but Sorn made a tense face. Based on the posture, today's meeting is not going to be easy.
"Ee Praew, I'm frustrated today. I raised my hand to pay respect to you." The young man rushed to his best friend as soon as he arrived at the office. Praew, a dashing girl, looked at the person at issue. She didn't have to ask who because Korn likes to talk about being alone.
"I don't know, but I see it's normal. That... I'm still paying respect to my brother."
"Oh, look around him. Brother Sorn is already good with the old man, but you see.
Is the black nest spread out of his brother's body? I'm so handsome, you open your eyes."
Thud!!
In time to say that, Sorn's handsome words kicked the trash can upside down. He and Praew were startled. The morning zipper band broke immediately.
"What the hell, Sorn?" The elephant's handler, who was falling, walked into the office. Before asking, Champ put a cup of coffee from a famous shop with branches all over the city on the table. He saw that the trash can inside was empty because the housekeeper had cleaned it. Since morning, he has been lying on the ground. The sour expression on his best friend's face didn't look very emotional. Sorn didn't answer but walked separately towards the kitchen. After a while, the other employees gradually came in. He looked at his broad back before sighing with Sorn's emotions. I don't know who was harassed again.
"Hi Champ, hello."
"What did you buy?"
"Toasted sticky rice with taro filling and shrimp filling. There is also a banana filling. It's delicious. I bought it. Do you want to eat it? Er! Yesterday, I forgot to tell Hia. Win left it to say Don't forget to bring it to his birthday. Hia forgot it." Juwin brought a message from Win to Champ. Yesterday, he was busy with work, so he didn't tell him.
"Well, I forgot. How many months has it been?" Champ walked to pick up Juwin's toasted sticky rice to eat. The sweet taro filling is good. The sticky rice is delicious.
"It's been more than a month"
"I'm probably free next week. I'll call you to invite you. Thai came back just in time to go. Let's have a little party. I'm already stressed out at work. I have to go."
"Can't you go? You might as well take advantage of this free stuff anyway. But you can take care of me. Really? I ate it."
"I'm fine, I'll be fine in ten years, I'll do it, Nong Rak Hia," Champ said.
'Juwin even mocked with a shy gesture like the girl he did, which is not difficult to cause laughter from both people. As for the Arrow who came out of the kitchen with a cup of coffee in his hand, looking at the boy who was spinning his head last night, he really wanted to lock his neck and catch him.
Yesterday, he told him that he would go to Franz's shop, which is also his shop. That's it. His heart is strangely hot because he knows what kind of person Franz is. Don't try to make him interested, because if he wants it, he will find every way to get it, which isn't a good thing. Even if he told me not to interfere, it doesn't mean that he can forbid it if Juwin plays with Franz, not the person that Juwin should care about. The Arrow was so much that Penny had to ask while eating rice together. He replied, dismissing it because he thought about what to do; it was his business.
But Thai said hello on time. And the other party didn't forget to ask about Juwin. Because of this, he found that his impatience stemmed from not caring about the child, but from having to take care of his best friend, who was too worried about Juwin. He, therefore, told Penny that he had something to do, so he dropped Penny off at home.
When he drove to the store, he immediately went straight to the shop owner. Franz was upstairs talking to customers in the VIP zone. During that time, he looked for the boy who said he would come here tonight. But I couldn't find him, no matter how much I looked for him; he couldn't find Juwin or a grey-haired boy.
"Since when?" Franz walked to a partner who now seemed more interested in other things than in him. "There is no type that you care about. Most of my customers are in college. If you find someone older according to the specs, go to another store." Franz continued to tease like a person who knows what kind of friends he likes.
"Do you remember the kid I took back that time he was drunk?"
"Oh! Nong Juwin, I'm going to ask many times. How did you meet him? Then..."
"Did you see him here today?" Sorn didn't pay much attention to his friend's question because he was wondering where he had gone. Now it's time to travel, and the movie he watched should have ended. However, if he comes, you must leave him this time. Franz sighed, dismissing the other party's question and sweeping his eyes around the shop carelessly before answering.
"I don't see him. Why the hell?"
"It told me he was coming."
"So you followed? Don't call." Franz led his partner to the drink zone. Let's sit at the bar. As for the neatness, let the shop manager decide.
"You don't have to. It's good if you don't come." Sorn sat in a high chair and ordered a beer to drink because I didn't mean to get drunk.
"Why is my shop not good? Or you will take his brother back to eat milk, slap his ass and sleep like that day." Fran Chod couldn't go back. Still doubting in the eyes that Sorn used to look at him at that time. The attitude of taking things until they seemed not to be.
"What's wrong with you? Don't say it's a brother because I remember that you're as much of a buffalo as me," Franz said. Not only pointing at the media again to know that he knew about Sorn's personal affairs.
"Thai's friend"
"Ah, why do you have to save that number?"
"I'm not stingy, but I know how people like you are, so I forbid it. Or do you want to have the conversation with Thai?" Sorn asked back.
Thai appears to be a young man who poses no harm. But because it looks like this, everyone is considerate. Thai is a decisive person and takes charge of the story. Whatever is wrong, he is mistaken. Punch, hit, he can mediate like a civilised person. Both soft and hardwood. Perhaps because he is the child of a wealthy person who was once in politics, he has a greater respect for others. Even though he has been friends with Thai for many years, he still sometimes dares not do so.
Franz could only breathe and was silent. He couldn't open Sorn's mouth as usual. He knew that Sorn's eyes at that time were not looking at Juwin as a friend of his friend. Ghosts would see ghosts together anyway. But when he was distracted like this, he didn't want to ask. Sorn sat with Franz for a while and asked to go back. But don't forget to check the account report.
Last month, Franz reiterated that he would let Sorn come to see the shop. Even if he was just a little partner, he asked to go because he didn't want his friends to feel later that he had only wanted him for the shop. Sorn accepted that if he were free, he would go back.
And that's what happened last night. Juwin didn't go to the store, but he tricked him into going to Franz's shop. Seeing Dida's symptoms, talking to Champ as usual, he really wanted to kick it for the monkey. People like Prank Arrow had never been struck by a sharp child before. Juwin was the first person who made him look foolish in this way. Bully... I admit that the bully, even though he doesn't have to go, sees it. But because he has to take care of it, he has to go. So stubborn that I want to catch him and strike his butt
"Juwin! Take this to order, print and photocopy 15 sets for me, complete the set, bring it to me within ten minutes." It's not the time for Juwin to finish eating grilled sticky rice, so Sorn threw the work to me.
"Can I eat first? I haven't eaten yet."
"It's your story, but I have to get all the documents at 8:50," Juwin sighed before stuffing the toasted sticky rice with banana filling in his hand into his mouth in one bite, chewing without regard for manners, with irritability.
The young man walked into the photocopying room and disappeared. He wiped his hands casually with the tissue paper that he picked up in his hand. He wanted to curse P'Sorn but didn't dare because he was afraid that the other party would slap him. That person's mouth doesn't care about his hands all the time. The young man's face was so angry that Champ felt a pang of sympathy. However, the person who ordered the work remained silent, as if what he had done was the right thing.
"I will sue Thai. If Thai comes back, you will die."
"I ordered him to work, not teasing."
"Who would believe? You see that he is eating toasted sticky rice, you still use it."
"Well, it's time for work. It's not the time to eat grilled sticky rice." After saying that, the argument was not there, waiting to hear Champ's words again. Champ could only shake his head and sigh at his actions. It was too straight. I was surprised that people like Sorn would come to prepare the document for the morning meeting, but he brushed off this doubt, citing that his team had been busy lately. Sorn may have to come to prepare for this morning.
Until it was almost time for the meeting, Juwin bent down and looked up because of the fight with the photocopier. The meeting was approaching, but he still couldn't finish preparing the documents. P'Sorn didn't know where he had lost his head. He asked the office employees to help, but no one was available. The young boy slapped the big white machine to vent his emotions. And that is a massive wrong action because it was stuck.
"It's a disaster, motherfucker!" This time, Juwin became a real mouse. Punch yourself in the head to relieve stress.
"Can Juwin get it yet?" Sorn walked in to demand the job. His face was so serious that Juwin didn't dare. "The machine is frozen"
"You can't do this job yet. Can you survive in this life? What's wrong? If you don't finish it, you don't have to do it anymore."
"I'll go down to use the machine on the 15th floor," Juwin just said, quickly took the flash drive down there, and ran down the stairs to escape the fire in a hurry, before asking to use P'Wed’s to finish the job.
"Why are you in such a hurry, Juwin? Is there anything I can help you with?"
"P'Sorn ordered 15 sets of work to be in time for the meeting, but the machine above is frozen. So I have to use it downstairs."
"Come on, I'll help you", because everyone in the company knows how strict Sorn is with the work. The more I see Juwin hot like this, the more sorry I feel. P’Wed told Juwin to wait for the machine in the copier room. There are two machines to divide them, and I'll go to help sort them out.
"Thank you very much, P'Wed," Juwin said when he got all 15 sets of documents. The boy rushed upstairs. Even though the office air conditioner is running at full capacity, the back plate is now soaked in sweat. Both excited and afraid that he will be scolded.
It is why Sorn was scolded by Khun Jun, his supervisor, for not having the necessary documents at the meeting. However, when he arrived on the 16th floor, he didn't find Sorn's team or the related team. Everyone sat in the clear glass room. When he saw that the meeting had begun, he rushed into the meeting room immediately without thinking about politeness.
Tap, tap.
"Sorry, the documents for the meeting have arrived. The machine on this floor is broken. I have to use it down there. I'm sorry." Juwin said in a moment, barely breathing, as the meeting started. The heart was pounding in his chest, almost falling out, when everyone looked at him with one eye. Including Khun Jun, who was sitting, and P'Sorn, who was standing in the front with an open slide.
The young boy's heart prays to be scolded as little as possible for this mistake. Because he's busy with P'Sorn, he doesn't think about this kind of work. It's terrible. But it's not that bad that I'll get scolded or not.
"Huh.... Brother Sorn told me to prepare it since yesterday." Sorn was the one who broke the silence and turned to tell with a smirk on his face. I felt sorry for the younger generation, who were gasping and brought the documents.
Juwin was stunned by what he heard. He looked at the meeting table. A document was already available in front of everyone. A document that was similar to the one he almost died to obtain. Especially when he turned to look at P'Sorn, who was standing in front of the room and had the answer that the other party had prepared in their hand, he was holding it. He didn't need to hurry to give it or even do it for him.
"You're done with your business, right? Please leave. Now it's time for the meeting." Miss June said in a flat, polite voice. But the reproach is straightforward.
"Uh... Yes, I'm sorry." Juwin raised his hand to apologise before retreating. Close the glass door as before; before, Praew came to close the curtain so outsiders could not see inside. According to Khun Jun's order, Juwin immediately saw the Arrow standing and looking at him first, but he dodged with clenched fists, and Sorn teased him!
Juwin sat down by the window where he used to work. The laptop that James gave him to work on was opened. He put the unused documents away, went down next to him, then continued working on the assigned task. Even though he was so angry that he wanted to punch the person who teased him today, he didn't eat breakfast. The grilled sticky rice was cold and not delicious. Khun Jun also looked at this with reproachful eyes. Additionally, the entire conference room conveyed a sense of rudeness.
Considering this, it feels like a lump is stuck in my neck. He is enough to clear the throat. But he knows that the one stuck in his neck is a lump of regret that has been done to him like this. Tears flowed until he had to blink his eyes. I don't know because he is very angry with P'Sorn, or regrets being bullied to the point of his face being broken like this. But for sure, P'Sorn is the meanest person.
════[changbins_delulu_wife]════
After the meeting, Sorn immediately left the meeting room. He walked to see the place where Juwin likes to work, but he didn't see that the naughty boy was sitting there. He walked all over the 16th floor but couldn't find him. Champ, who followed him out, used a file to hit his friend's broad shoulder. Love is not so light. Replace the frustration that his friend made fun of him with love for him again.
"You're teasing him again. I even said that people like you won't prepare documents before"
"Did you see him?" Sorn didn't argue back because now he wants to see the kid.
He was angry when I looked at him; he had the document in his hand, looking very angry.
"I don't see! What are you kidding? It doesn't matter."
"Can you stop complaining first? Find the child first. I don't know where he lost his head, and I didn't know. You're going to die." At the end of the sentence, Sorn grumbled to himself.
"James! Did you see Juwin?" He walked to find someone to teach Juwin's job. That person pointed out. Fire escape stairs. "Miss June called to talk and went out that way." Sorn was immediately followed by Don't overthink. When I opened the door of the fire escape stairs and went down the stairs, I saw a naughty boy sitting on the last step. Shoulders down like a mourning person. He walked closer and stopped in front of him. He bowed his head, not thinking to look up at him, so he had to sit down next to him.
"Juwin"
"Juwin, look up"
In addition to not looking up, he was still silent. He put his face on his knees. When holding his arm, he forced him out before pushing him until he almost fell. Only then did he see that he was crying.
"Don't interfere! Wherever you want to go, go!" Juwin tried to push the Arrow away, but was locked by the Arrow on both wrists. It's good that this is a fire escape ladder, so it's quite soundproof. It's not of much interest to others.
"Calm down first"
"You are so mean. Why are you teasing me like this again... I was scolded by Miss June." Tears that have flowed for a long time. Both the mood and anger that were being teased by P'Sorn couldn't be stopped until he couldn't hold back. Just now, Miss June called him to talk and said that he would call him later. If there is a meeting, please refrain from entering like that again. And I hope not to have to do it again.
"Well, I'm sorry," Sorn said guiltily. I felt sorry as soon as I saw the child crying because he usually argued with him. When I saw a sad face with tears on my cheeks, I wasn't used to it.
"Don't cry, I'm sorry," he repeated when he saw that the child wouldn't get rid of his anger. It's easy. Juwin still pushed his wrist out of his grip. But he used his strength to hold it firmly because he didn't know whether the child would punch him. The Arrow changed from squatting in front of him to sitting on the steps next to Juwin instead and relying on a larger body to squeeze it against the wall.
He couldn't escape. The big hand gently patted the other person's back as a comfort. Leaning closer to see if the red-nosed boy stopped crying or not, he turned away. He decided to rub his head. The naughty boy didn't look at his face at all. Not even a glance.
This time, he did more than the truth without any excuse to remove it. At first, I thought he was pretending enough to make his head spin because he was frustrated from last night's story, which made him feel hot. But who would have known that it would turn out like this? He told me not to do it, but Juwin insisted that he would finish it. When he forbade it, Juwin disappeared, coinciding with the time he had to attend the meeting, so he didn't tell me to ban it as he had thought.
"P'Sorn, Khun June will talk to you." James came out when he saw that Sorn had been gone for a long time. He saw a young senior and Juwin sitting together. The older man was rubbing his head and stroking the trainee's back as a consolation. Secretly doubting this intimacy, I realised that Juwin was very close to Thai. It's not strange to be close to people in the Thai group, either.
Today, he was also in the conference room. At that time, he lost his face. The more he was called by Khun June, the more he lost his face. Suddenly, I saw that the other person's eyes were red before he dodged. It's not difficult to guess that he would run away and cry.
"Well, I'll go." Sorn turned to answer the person who opened the door of the fire escape.
"If you finish crying, go up to wash your face and wash your eyes." He turned to tell the young boy next to him, but there was no response. There was only a light sniff. The Arrow cut his heart to stay and talk to him. Then put his big hand on his head and gently rubbed it. This is the most in action.
The trouble-seeker has left. Juwin still doesn't look at the other party, even though he can feel that Sorn is looking at him before entering the office. He admits that he is furious until he cries, but the other thing. The equally shallow feeling is the little heart that he has shown. He disagrees with him, so he is hungry. He wants to eat grilled sticky rice. What did he do? Why did you do this to him?
That day, the brightness of Juwin disappeared. The young boy sat quietly with James, only accepting. James felt sorry for the younger generation. Miss June is like Miss Penny because of more work experience and is quite neat. Meeting time is the most stressful time. It is not strange that Juwin will regret being blamed.
"Do you want Ovaltine, Juwin? I'm going to make coffee. I'll bring it just in case," James said to the person who was sitting quietly. Juwin shook his head as an answer before turning to pay attention to the documents in front of him. At noon, he came down to eat with a backpack and Ae as usual. They chose a curry restaurant opposite the building. It's a regular shop for people at the company, but when they entered, they found they had met someone they didn't want to meet.
"Juwin Pae Ae, come to sit together quickly so that other people can sit", is Champ, who invited. The three children couldn't walk in because the seats were limited. Juwin immediately chose to sit down next to Champ. And Champ knew why the young boy was like this. When he sent a message to tell Thai, Thai still hadn't read it, so he waited for Thai to read it.
At this meal table, Pae and Champ monopolised the conversation, talking about the game. Juwin sat down to eat quietly, alternating between playing on the phone, not caring about the eyes that kept glancing at each other from time to time.
Sorn: Are you still angry with me?
Sorn: I'm sorry.
Sorn: Juwin
Sorn: Why are you keeping quiet all the time?
Even though he was holding a phone, he sent numerous messages. Like this, he didn't reply and said nothing. He used his foot to poke him. He asked for a jug of water, but he didn't care. He was furious until he started to get frustrated. Thinking about why you have to come to this little boy? Mother! If you want to be angry, I'm furious. He's tired of following him like this, too. When he apologised, but it's not gone, he doesn't know what to do. Where does this life have to follow the child? Due to this annoyance, he doesn't want to interact with younger people.
════[changbins_delulu_wife]════
"Yes, Hia Thai."
[Are you being teased by Sorn again today, Juwin? How can we become like this?]
In the evening, when it was time to leave work, Thai called Juwin, but he could only dismiss him, and the other party continued to ask. Even though Thai knew the story from the person involved in the incident, like Champ, he also wanted to hear it from Juwin's mouth.
"It's nothing. It's the same as his brother teasing me." He replied before sighing. When I thought about it, I couldn't shake it off. If I were ashamed of the generation at the same time, I would have already put down the boxing gloves.
[I'll clear it for you]
"It's okay. I don't want it to be a big deal. Brother Sorn came to apologise. But I'm like... He's angry. He's so angry. I hate it when the boss scolds me like this. What did I do for him? I haven't had time to do anything yet, but Sorn came to tease like this."
When I said a sentence, the things that were suppressed in my heart burst out. The Thail of my eye saw Sorn turn to look at him before turning to pay attention to the work. Since lunch, he hasn't come to the Mess with him anymore. Maybe because he didn't care about the other party's approach. And probably bored of following him like this, so he went back to working on the project, which he didn't care about. This is good. The only coworker like this is good.
[Well, I'll take care of it myself. Champ has already told you. In 2-3 days, I'll be back. Do you want anything? This is a list of items that it wants so much. I don't know if I have to buy more weight bags or not.]
Hia Thai invited me to talk a little more after Juwin said he didn't want anything and then hung up. The young boy's eyes suddenly glanced at the person who had had an issue with him before. This, accidentally, led Sorn no longer to pay attention to him. The eyes didn't look at it at all.
Of course... People's remorse can last no more than two hours, and He is not important enough for Sorn to follow.
Korn, who works together, is still quite scared because of Sorn's face. It looks unfriendly. Stick to being a giant until the young man has to turn to make a face to complain to Praew. But he had time to take a breather when Sorn went out to answer the phone.
[You're teasing my brother, Sorn.]
Sorn sighed and turned to look at Champ immediately. Knowing what the end of the line was talking about. Thai has a detective; why doesn't he know? Even if his mouth says that he trusts him to take care of Juwin, he ordered Champ to follow him anyway. I don't know the bad boy. What's good about only loving him?
[What did Juwin do to make you unhappy? Why did you do that to your brother? Why did you accept my promise? That you won't tease. I let it go for days and saw that it was good. But why did it become like this, Sorn?]
Thai complained in a series. Sorn was silent and did not respond. Who would say that he took it back because last night, the boy tricked him into going to Franz's shop to find it? Who would admit that the kid made him crazy for a long time?
"Well, I know I was wrong. I'm sorry. What else can I do?"
[I called to talk to Juwin just now; he's still angry with you.]
"Thai, will you let me follow the compass, follow the begging until he's no longer angry, isn't it me? I'm wrong, I admit it. But I'll let you do it as you guys do. I'm telling you here that I'm unable to do it. I'm not that good."
[Don't argue with yourself. Make yourself look good. If you're still like this, I'll tell my dad. Move you to work in Vietnam according to the same order. You don't have to stay here. So you don't have to meet Juwin again. If you want to teach your job, take it within the scope. Not to tease each other until you get scolded by Khun June. In addition to not getting a job, you still have to lose your feelings again.]
Champ, who was listening secretly, smiled. He could hear the sound of Thai coming from Sorn's phone and knew that his good friend had been hurt. As for Sorn's busy face, he looked more frustrated than before.
"Well, I'll apologise to your beloved brother until I get rid of my anger. I'll take responsibility.
It's this fault. Are you satisfied with me, you bastard?"
[Pussy! Eh! That's all.]
Thai laughed in his throat. He knew that Sorn was too lazy to go to work abroad because he was worried about the people at home. By giving the previous reason, that just coming to work here is far from home is enough. If I go abroad again, I'm afraid I'll worry about the house and not take any action.
Thai hung up the phone, but Sorn was still hooked on his best friend's words. He didn't want to go to work in Vietnam. Because if he had to go, he wouldn't see the naughty boy and wouldn't be able to teach him an erotic course. No, he had to stay and teach him until the baby bird could fly.
════[changbins_delulu_wife]════
After work, Juwin, unsure of what to do or where to go, called. However, that party claimed he was busy because he had a job at the university. He turned his attention to his best friend, like Win. But that person said that he was busy because he had to practice Takaw. He looked too serious about this friendly sports competition.
Juwin returned to the room with a bad mood. He was bored because he didn't know what to do. He played games, but he wasn't a gamer, so he didn't like people who spent hours playing. Just called and talked to Go Nueng. That person said that this week's balance fell because a new tea shop opened. Sent Sai Si B to investigate, and the taste was good. Go Nueng can, but let it go because people make a living as well. As for his sister, she said that a guy came to flirt with her. But Poi Sian still doesn't care. It must be a challenging job for that guy who has to flirt with a girl like Poy Xian. Who is the strong woman of the house? We talked for almost an hour, but we had to hang up to give his father a rest. Juwin changed into a casual outfit. Thinking of going out a little bit because I didn't eat much for lunch.
Tap, tap.
Before he could go down, the door of the room was knocked on. The young boy frowned, wondering who would come to him at a time like this. Friends in the faculty who used to stay in this tower together. Gradually, they all went out. Because they had to go to different places for internships, Juwin walked to open the door and saw something he could hardly believe with his eyes. Sorn stood with a bag of food in both hands.
"Won't you let me in?" The young man told the person standing, looking at him, the only expression he had was stunned. Juwin was in a T-shirt and basketball pants. His figure looks good no matter what he wears, even in a rotten dress like this.
"Why are you coming? What else are you going to tease?" He couldn't help but ask in this manner. He didn't know which joke P'Sorn came up with. If the other party had a meaning, he didn't know which stick to use to fight, because just today I felt he had already lost the knockout.
"I made you angry. What is it that makes him carry food for you like this? Don't do it?" Sorn replied without waiting for the owner of the room's permission. He walked into the room and put the food. Everything he could carry on the Japanese table. Juwin looked at the other party in disbelief. Don't tell me that he bought all this food to come to him. The smell of grilled squid floated and tickled his nose. There was a pizza. There is also a salad roll. I saw that there. There is also a pork salad. How did you buy it at Ree?
Juwin walked to sit opposite the person who acted as if he were in his room. He sat and looked at the young man who arranged everything by himself. Still don't trust because he didn't know what P'Sorn wanted. Even if the action were said to be shy, he would rather not believe it—people like P'Sorn, who would be. Especially with him, the person he doesn't like, it would be difficult.
"Why are you doing good to me? Slap your head and rub your back? I tell you that it won't go away. It's useless for me to do this," Juwin finally said. Sorn stopped his hand, which was about to pick up something and put it in his mouth. He looked at the face of the naughty child who was still tense.
"I admit that what I did today was wrong. I apologise to you too. And because you haven't recovered your anger at me, I have to bring things to redeem this." Juwin was silent in response. He had no opinion on Sorn's words. The older man continued when they saw that Juwin still did not feel better about his actions.
"Juwin... I'm not a person. If I do this much, you still think it's not appropriate. With the feeling that you lost, I don't know what to do." Because if he asked him to do more, he wouldn't be able to cross the line of his thoughts that he drew.
